Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1206, Newspaper Advertisement

"Sell newspaper~sell newspaper!"

"Spain defeated the coalition forces of France, England, and Portugal, captured Andorra in France, and attacked Bordeaux."

"The Ottoman Empire defeated the Holy Roman Empire, captured Vienna, Austria, and pointed at the Vatican, the core of the Christian world."

"The Crimean Khanate captured Moscow and took more than [-] slaves. It is expected that there will be huge fluctuations in the slave market in the future."

In the early morning, amidst the howling cold wind, the cries of the newsboy resounded in the streets and alleys. Soon, a large number of people gathered from every corner, and bought all the newspapers in the hands of the newsboy in a blink of an eye.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the weather is getting colder and colder. Last night, there was a heavy snowfall in the capital, and the wind was bitterly cold. However, the anger of the New Year in the capital is getting stronger and stronger. Everywhere is decorated with lanterns and festoons, a festive red.

Although the sky is bright and late in winter, with the yelling of newsboys, the bells of the bell tower and the bell tower, the originally quiet capital began to become bustling and noisy.

Every tea house in the capital is already overcrowded here.

In this winter, getting up early, drinking a cup of hot tea, eating breakfast, reading newspapers with friends, and criticizing the current situation have become the favorite activities of young and old in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

"This Spaniard is really fierce. With one against three, he even defeated the coalition forces of England, France, and Portugal."

"I know about Spain. I heard from Mr. Yang in the meeting that the reason why Spain was able to defeat the Three Kingdoms was actually because of the weapons and weapons we purchased from Daming."

"In the first half of this year, Spain spent tens of millions of taels of silver to buy our Ming Dynasty's advanced weapons and weapons, and our Ming Dynasty sent officers to help them train the army. That's why we were able to achieve a great victory and defeat the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms."

"Let me just say, without the help of our Ming Dynasty, how could Spain have fought against the Three Kingdoms Alliance?"

"No way, the relationship between Spain and our Ming Dynasty is very good. They used to be allies, and now they are our most important cheap and trading partners in Europe."

"The Europeans are too weak. The Ottoman Empire has been sweeping from east to west. The Holy Roman Empire, Hungary, Austria, Poland, etc. can't beat the Ottoman Empire. It looks like it will break into the Vatican."

"The Ottoman Empire was already very powerful, and only we Ming people can repair it severely."

"The so-called knights in Europe are all heavy cavalry. Although the heavy cavalry has good defense, they lack mobility and cannot fight for a long time. When the Mongols marched west, they did not fight head-on with them at all. The Europeans, who fought with bows and arrows, fell to their knees and begged for mercy."

"The Ottoman Empire has a strong army, and it has fought against our Ming Empire. It has suffered a lot, and it pays attention to firearms. It is normal to beat Europeans everywhere."

"The Crimean Tatars are very vigorous this year. They have broken through several big cities of the Slavs one after another, and provided our Ming Dynasty with a steady stream of slaves."

"The Slavic slaves are strong, and they work very well. I just opened up several plantations on the new islands in the South Seas, and I need some slaves. The price has been reduced, and I can leave some silver."

In the teahouse, many tea drinkers chatted while reading newspapers.

Watching, watching, someone quickly noticed an ad.

"With a watch in hand, the world is in your hands~"

"The directly-operated store of Daming Watch Firm will open on the [-]th. Four watches and pocket watches look forward to your possession."

"Jade gentleman, limited to 99 pieces, inlaid with imperial green jadeite, pure gold strap, precision-made, the daily error will not exceed 1 minute, as long as 8888 you can have a watch of the same style as the emperor, limited sales, Once it’s sold out, there will be no more.”

Seeing the advertisement, almost everyone who reads the newspaper was slightly dumbfounded.

They were all surprised by such fresh and refined advertisements.

For a long time, the Ming Morning Post has been very rigorous, and all of them are committed to reporting major national events, anecdotes and strange events, and commenting on policy policies. This is why everyone likes to read them.

Who knew, this Ming Morning Post actually inserted an advertisement in it.

This novel way of promoting their products is the first time.

In the past, there has never been an advertisement.

Of course, at this moment, in everyone's mind, this is not an advertisement or not, and they don't realize that it is a marketing method.

I just feel that this news is very different from other contents in the newspaper, and the difference is too far. It is completely different from the previous style of the Ming Morning Post.

But the surprise is the surprise, but soon, everyone couldn't help but looked at it carefully.

“There is a shop directly opposite the Bell Tower on Zhuque Street in Beijing~”

"There is a store here in Xincheng Commercial Street, Southern District of Beijing."

"There is a shop here in Tianjin Imperial Commercial Street."

"Tianjin Shili Foreign Firm has a branch."

"There are four watches. This watch is called Yujunzi. It is the same watch as the one worn by today's emperor. It is decorated with imperial green jadeite inlays, and has a pure gold strap or bracelet."

"No wonder the price is 8888 taels of silver. Of course, the price of the same watch as the emperor wears is expensive. The key is that it is limited, only 99 yuan. If it is sold out, there will be no more, and there will be no production."

"This must be a lie. There is no reason why you don't make money by keeping money."

"That's right, that's right, 8888 taels of silver buys a watch, only ghosts will buy it."

"If you don't buy it, it doesn't mean no one will buy it. This is a limited edition, and it's the same watch as the emperor wears. It's something you can't buy with money. It's only 8888 taels of silver. There are many rich people in Ming Dynasty. I don't care about the few thousand taels of silver."

"There is also this Guoshi Wushuang, which is also limited, and the price is 3333 taels, which is too expensive!"

"Can't afford it, can't afford it, with this money, wouldn't it be nice to buy a few houses?"

"Who can afford this watch, who cares about the thousands of taels of silver, a few houses and so on. We can't afford it, but it doesn't mean others can't afford it."

"That's true. Among the four watches, the cheapest Xuefu Wuche costs 88 taels of silver, which is really expensive."

"There is a reason why you are expensive. This is a watch. Something that can tell the time anytime, anywhere is also worth it."

Along with the publication of the Daming Morning Post, the news about the imminent opening of the watch shop quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the Beijing-Tianjin area, and was soon known by the middle and upper classes of the Ming Dynasty.

In this era, the literacy rate is still very low, and most of the people who can read newspapers are people with status and status. Obviously, watches do not cheat the poor, but only cheat the rich. The effect of advertising is obviously very good.

The watch, after brewing and fermenting for a period of time, seems to have become something that only the top people in Ming Dynasty can own and wear.

There are too many and too many people in Beijing and Tianjin who are looking for watches everywhere, and now finally a watch shop is about to open to sell this watch to everyone.

When ordinary people feel that this watch is very expensive and think that it is not bought at all.

The rich, well-to-do, status, and respectable people in the Beijing-Tianjin area have already quietly started preparations, ordering people to prepare money in advance, and wait for the opening of the business on the [-]th day, and immediately rush to buy watches.

"Old Liu, your move is really powerful!"

"Why didn't I think of advertising in the newspaper?"

In Liu Jin's house, because the watch shop is about to open, Zhu Houzhao has been running to Liu Jin's house every day these days.

"Haha, Your Highness, we have always been selling this newspaper at a loss. The more we sell, the more we lose. However, now our sales are good enough and the market recognition is good enough. We can also start a small amount. Hit Guanggao and collect advertising fees to make money."

"Other newspapers cost several cents a copy, and some even cost more than a dozen cents a copy. Our Ming Morning Newspaper is the cheapest. We are doing business at a loss."

"Of course I can't keep doing this loss-making business. It's time to make money now."

Liu Jin replied with a smile.

Advertisements in newspapers are very common in later generations. In some newspapers, more than half of the content is advertisements, and you can't wait to print all the advertisements for you to read.

Of course, this is because the information of later generations has been quite developed. It only takes a few minutes for a volcano to erupt in the southern hemisphere to spread throughout the world.

Newspapers have gradually declined and become obsolete.

But newspapers used to have a very glorious era. In the era without mobile phones, the Internet, and television, newspapers were an important tool for everyone to obtain external information.

At that time, the value of advertisements on newspapers was very high. If you want to advertise on them, the advertising fee is not cheap, so in Western countries, many newspaper tycoons can become super rich.

This is also the case in Daming now. Newspapers are the most important tool for everyone to learn about the outside world. Advertisements on them are naturally very effective, and the cost is definitely not cheap.

"I knew you wouldn't trade at a loss."

When Liu Jin clicked, Zhu Houzhao understood, and then he rolled his small eyes and said, "Hey, there is another hen that lays golden eggs."

"Your Highness, you are Daming's crown prince after all, can you pay attention to your image?"

Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao, this guy is definitely a proper money fan now.

Those who didn't know thought that he was from a poor family. If he cared so much about money, he must have lived in poverty, so he knew the importance of money.

"What image do I notice?"

"I am a gentleman who loves money. I get it properly and use it wisely."

"Money can turn ghosts around, this money is a good thing."

"In the past, although I was an expensive prince, I didn't have much money in my hands. I couldn't do what I wanted to do. Now that I have money, I can do whatever I want, and I don't have to look at those people anymore. Bad face."
