In this city known as the Pearl of the North, which is shrouded in fog all year round, there are many kinds of newspapers issued. The current university area not only gathers most of the colleges and universities in Tobeysk, but also an area where newspapers and publishing houses gather, so the journey is actually not long.
The Rhodes card obtained from Professor Manning has not been sold yet, so although the detective's wallet has been found, Xia De's options are still very small.
He certainly didn't dare to think about such big national newspapers as the "Tobesk Morning News", "Telarell River News" and "Kingdom Morning Post" to which Detective Sparrow subscribed.
But I still took my business card to the newspaper office to inquire about it, and was shocked by the guaranteed price given by the accountant, so I completely gave up.
"These are the best-selling newspapers in the country, and my business is limited to Tobesk, so there is no need to advertise in this kind of place."
He still comforted himself like this, and then felt that his thoughts made sense, and he convinced himself.
However, the "Threepenny Newspaper" or "De La Rion Business Journal", which have a decent local circulation in Tobesk, can get a small square in the middle of the newspaper, or under the obituary column, and find a place with the inventor. Content such as investment, factory recruitment, or notices of lost objects are crowded together to advertise.
The newspaper offices were very busy, so when Xia De visited them, his visit was not taken seriously. Editors and reporters came in and out, and only twenty minutes after Shade stayed in the smoky editorial office on the second floor of the "De La Rion Business", three people rushed in, waving their hands and shouting "Big news".
The local child abduction incident has made new progress, members of the royal family unexpectedly appeared in the auction house, someone died on the street in the northern part of Tobesk... Then some people rushed out with the guy who had the news, this bustling steam There will never be a shortage of new things in the city.
The price of the advertising area of this kind of newspaper is also not low, and it is charged according to the number of times. Xia De considered that his firm's capacity was limited and he couldn't receive too many customers, so he just bought the advertisement for this week's Sunday and next week's Sunday, and wanted to see the effect first.
As for those tabloids that publish lace news, such as "Textile Daily", "Tobesk Citizen" and other newspapers, the price of advertising is relatively low. It's just that Shad is worried that too many advertisements in this kind of newspaper will make him, like Sparrow Hamilton, an expert in the field of infidelity and mistress investigation.
But he didn't have much choice but to pray that other commissions would come to him because of these tabloid advertisements.
The good news is that when Xia De took his business card and found the newspaper office of "Steam Bird Daily", which has the fourth largest newspaper circulation in the city, on St. George Street in the Tobesk University area, the person who received Xia De in the office The middle-aged man in a black button-down formal suit glanced at the business card on the imposing solid wood desk, then put down the pen in his hand, clasped his hands together, and asked suspiciously behind the desk: "Sacrificing like zhuiwen.org sacrificing!" like
"Sir, who gave you your business card?"
"Miss Dorothy Louisa, some time ago, she commissioned me to collect materials for the new book detective story. Later, when she heard that I wanted to find a newspaper to advertise, she directly introduced me to this place."
Xia De half-truthfully said that he and other people in the same group had such "reasonable" acquaintance experiences.
"Louissa... the ad is fine. The bottom edge of the second page, next to the date, gives you space for about thirty words. If you want to run an ad for a long time, it's cheaper. ...how about ten shillings a month? Come to us at the beginning of each month, or send money by post office.
"Ten shillings?"
Xia De was taken aback for a moment, suspecting that he had heard wrongly, or that the gentleman behind the desk had misspoken.
He has traveled a lot today, and he knows that for a four-weekly high-selling newspaper like "Steam Bird Daily", even if it costs ten shillings for a week's end-page advertising, it is very cheap.
"Louisa introduced the business card, of course it can be cheaper."
The middle-aged man shrugged and explained.
"Is Miss Louisa writing for you?"
Xia De knew that female writers were also part-time reporters.
"Contributing articles, but more importantly... Her father, Professor Skaven Luisa, is a shareholder of the newspaper. Now most of the editors of the newspaper are his students. When I was a student, I also attended the professor's class, since she introduced you, it should be cheaper."
The middle-aged man explained, and asked Shad if he wanted tea.
"this......"
Judging from the conversation, the female writer must be from the middle class or even the upper class, but Xia De did not expect Miss Louisa's family to be so powerful. Yesterday at Professor Manning's place, he knew that the professor knew Miss Louisa's father, but he didn't expect it to be like this at the time.
"Is this really good?" Si minus BxWx.*co Si
Xia De asked with some embarrassment.
"What's wrong? It's not that I don't charge your money. Oh, sir, you are so interesting, are you still worried that we will lose money~www.mtlnovel.com~ The middle-aged man said with a smile, Xia De also shook his head He laughed, and slapped ten shillings on the table as if he was afraid that the other party would repent.
He planned to thank Miss Louisa very much next time. For the copybook and advertisement of "The Little Match Girl", Xia De already owes two favors.
Because he had to set aside the 20 pounds that needed to be repaid next month and the 10 pounds that he owed to Mia, the funds that Xia De could use were not very abundant. The cheap advertisement of "Steambird Daily" greatly reduced his planned expenditure, which made the still not rich outsider full of hope for the future life.
"Sure enough, everything will be fine."
After dealing with the issue of the advertisement, when I returned to the Plaza de Saint-Terres at noon, I accidentally found a letter on the floor mat. It turned out to be a reply from "the lady" who asked Shad to meet her at the club in the evening.
After the accident in Lakeview Manor, "that lady" successfully helped a group of five people escape. Of course, this would not be free help.
"But a ring sorcerer of this level should not lack the power of a first-ring sorcerer. Is it true that I should do things that are inconvenient for a nobleman?"
He doesn't think nobles are the law-abiding guys described in the book.
The last time the priest handed over the letter, it should have been written with a pen and paper in Lake View Manor temporarily, so the quality of the paper is very ordinary. This time, the lady used a special high-end letter paper. Although it is not possible to get gold edges on the paper, the whole paper has a special fragrance. Mia is very sensitive to this smell, probably because it feels pungent, but Shad likes this smell very much. Mi He Mi
Of course, he wouldn't just smell the letter paper like a pervert.
