America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

The fifth goal: to control the mouthpiece of American public opinion.

Or rather, it means having its own platform for public opinion.

The reason why Chinese people could be bullied at will in the United States in the past was largely because they did not have a channel to speak out.

The Huamei Weekly, which Li Changsheng is now running, has solved this problem.

Because of the success of the first two issues, the newspaper’s readership increased significantly starting from the third issue, reaching 25 in the third issue and 35 in the fourth issue.

By the fifth period, it had surpassed 50.

After that, it started to increase slowly, but by the tenth period, it had also reached 70.

Keep in mind that he only sold a newspaper for 1 cent.

Even if 70 copies are sold, it's only worth $7000.

After deducting all costs, the profit was only $3000.

In other words, he will be able to earn at least several thousand dollars a week from now on.

With a legitimate source of income, Li Changsheng naturally couldn't just run one newspaper.

After discussing it with Wang Qingfu, he began to establish his own newspaper group.

The current nature of the Chinese American Weekly makes a redesign impossible.

The newspaper has three pages, with the first page featuring the most cutting-edge topics.

The second edition consists of Li Changsheng's novel and a translated classic of Chinese literature.

The third edition is an introduction to Chinese culture.

The reason why each subsequent episode was so successful was largely due to Li Changsheng's clones.

In America, people in this world also faced hardships during this period.

But they also like to open their eyes and see the world.

Because Li Changsheng has clones, he basically releases the latest global news.

At the same time, it basically comments on the current situation of Irish people in the United States every other issue.

Even prominent American figures have spoken out on it.

Similarly, in the fifth issue, Li Changsheng reported that Alexander had successfully sent 50 Americans who had already learned Chinese and now basically mastered it to the Qing Empire.

In the latest tenth issue of the report, it has been reported that 20 out of 50 American citizens who went to the Qing Empire passed the examination and became consuls of the Qing Empire in the United States.

What left them speechless the most was the other 30 people.

They thought these 20 people were lucky enough, but they didn't expect that another 30 people would be even luckier.

"The Emperor of the Great Qing Empire stated that the Great Qing Empire is currently actively learning; however, learning takes time. Therefore, he invited another 30 American citizens to serve as envoys of the Great Qing Empire to 30 port cities in various European countries as consuls general of the Great Qing Empire in those European countries."

When the news came, a white man from New York found Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng was a little confused when he first saw the other party, and he was even more confused when the other party made a request.

"So you mean you want me to teach you Mandarin?"

"Yes, Li, I have always admired China, so I hope to learn the Chinese language and master Chinese culture. I have read ten issues of your newspaper in a row, and I admire your novels and classical Chinese culture very much."

"I don't think you're telling the truth."

"Okay, I knew I couldn't fool you."

"so what?"

"I come from Prussia, and I haven't done well these past few years. I'm too ashamed to go back. I want to use a phrase from your Chinese language to describe my current mindset, which is that I want to return home in glory."

"So you want to learn Chinese and then go to the Qing Empire to become the Qing Empire's consul in Prussia."

"Yes."

"I'm sorry, I can't teach you, but I can point you in the right direction."

"A generous reward will surely be given."

"No need for thanks. You're the first one to come to me, but I believe many more will. You should know that my newspaper reports on the most cutting-edge news from around the world. I just hope that if you ever succeed, you'll give me some information if you can, so that my newspaper can become more popular."

"no problem."

"I think instead of coming to me, you should go to Alexander. After all, he doesn't have much to do, and there are many Americans in his consulate who can speak Chinese. In order to enable more people to learn, you can ask him to set up an Alexander Foreign Language Institute in America."

"Oh my god, that's a great idea."

People continued to arrive, and Li Changsheng repeated the same words to them. Later, he simply stopped seeing them and had others do it for him.

After all, he still has things to do right now.

Seeing this situation, Wang Qingfu remarked with emotion.

"A few months ago, I couldn't have imagined that we would get to this point."

"Two months ago, these people went crazy once for the status of more than 1000 consuls in the United States."

"This time, there are at least several thousand to tens of thousands of slots available across Europe. They're probably going to go completely crazy."

Li Changsheng smiled and said.

"Isn't this exactly what we need? Since the Qing Empire is not doing anything, then we will help it do something."

"The Qing Empire now claims to have 400 million people, but in reality, if you include those who are hidden, the population is at least 600 million."

"So many people remain in the Qing Empire; when the Qing Empire falls into chaos, countless people will lose their lives."

"It's better to let them come to America or other countries than to let them die in the Qing Empire."

"Let the voice of the Chinese people resonate throughout America and the world."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We won't get involved in this matter. Right now, the most important thing for us is to get the newspaper, publishing house, printing plant, and so on all set up."

"In addition, our Chinese American Daily and more than ten other newspapers have received a large number of submissions to the last submission address we left for the last two issues."

"Next, we will begin recruiting staff to grow and expand our Chinese American newspaper."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Changsheng sensed a disturbance in his soul.

This means that an avatar is contacting him, so he patted Wang Qingfu on the shoulder.

"Old Wang, I'm leaving the rest to you. You know, besides being the owner of a newspaper, I'm also a writer and an inventor."

Wang Qingfu waved his hand silently.

"Alright, you go ahead and do your work. We'll take care of things at the newspaper."

After Li Changsheng left, he went straight home.

Yes, he bought a house next to the newspaper office and now has his own little home.

His home is filled with all sorts of research items, most of which prove that he was researching electric lights.

Although he didn't need these things, his clone was researching them; he was just creating the illusion that he was researching electric lights.

After closing the door, his thoughts immediately turned to his clone.

However, when he arrived at the clone, he was somewhat stunned, and even a little incredulous.
