They don't want me to work harder

Page 80

A woman’s intuition tells her that this thing is of great use!

Then we can't wait any longer...

[Luvia sent you a thousand gold coins as investment for starting your business]

[Luvia contacted two arms companies for you, and the latter promised to let middle-level employees subscribe to your new newspaper as soon as possible]

[Your favorability towards Luvia increases]

A familiar unfolding...

Richard tried to decline.

[Luvia directly asked for leave and came to Nyon to teach you swordsmanship personally]

[Your favorability towards Luvia increases]

Hiss, it can still be like this!

It is impossible to guard against it!

Richard scratched his head and was speechless for a moment.

To be honest, he was mentally prepared for this unfolding.

After all, Luvia's intentions were obvious during the first simulation. This time, she was sent to her door. How could she not take action?

Hey, a woman who is greedy for my body can guess right away.

According to past experience, the next step is for him to continue to receive gifts and increase his favorability, and finally face the proposal and have no choice.

But Richard wasn't going to give in!

It's not that he hates Luvia so much that he doesn't want to get close to her in the simulation - it's not like that for Yukiko's sake.

But this time he still wants to stir up the situation in the empire. What if he rashly gets too close to Luvia and affects future actions?

Or even, for the sake of profit, what if the two of them turn against each other and become enemies in the future?Then the damage would be too great.

In summary, Richard decided to suppress Luvia's overtures and wait until he saw the situation clearly before talking about doing things for the country.

[You claimed that you would devote all your energy to running the newspaper, thereby putting down your recent sword training]

[You quickly built an office and printing plant, and recruited a group of staff, but you did not hire a famous figure in literature and art to be your editor-in-chief, nor did you purchase expensive drawing paper]

[People in the industry know about your actions and think that you are stupid and overestimate your capabilities. You are reluctant to use good materials. There is no way you can sell [-] newspapers. This figure is only a handful even in Idaril. How many can do it?]

[Jack even advertised everywhere that he would get the three thousand gold bet and take over the printing press that you left behind after your failure, so much so that his own stock even rose because of it]

【Finally, that day has arrived】

[Your first newspaper was named New Times and was published simultaneously in several major cities in Virginia]

[However, except for the organizations introduced by Nyon City and Luvia, not many people subscribe to your newspaper. They generally think that your newspaper is made of poor materials and the content is empty and trivial]

[People think that you have lost the bet]

[Jack even started to borrow money, preparing to acquire your industry and take advantage of the opportunity to expand]

Ha ha.

Richard smiled disdainfully and took action.

[Early in the morning, hundreds of newsboys hired by you filled the streets and alleys]

[They shouted loudly: "Sell newspapers and sell newspapers! Shocked! A secret that 99% of people don't know! Men will be silent after reading it, and women will cry after reading it! The prince of a foreign king said that he can't watch it!"]

[In this era, no newspaper has ever tried street retail, and many people are attracted by you]

[After asking, people were surprised to find that a new era newspaper only costs one copper coin]

[Such a cheap price, coupled with a series of shocks, made them unable to hold back any longer and took out their wallets one after another]

【Then they knew...】

[The so-called news about a man silently crying and a woman crying is actually just a story about an adventurer who returned to the mainland from Shen'en Island and used his new wealth to seduce seven widows. Each one said it was true love. As a result, the widows accidentally met and connected in series and were exposed. ...]

Humph, just tell me if 99% of people don’t know!

Are you going to be silent after reading this?

Isn’t he a prince from a foreign kingdom?

[Although they were deceived, the people who bought the newspaper were not angry. On the contrary, they were attracted by other contents of the newspaper]

[The New Times is different from other newspapers. Its content is simple, easy to understand, and humorous. It contains wonderful legends about adventurers in distant places, as well as interesting neighborhood stories that ordinary citizens who cannot afford servants care about, making people unable to take their eyes off it.]

[At the end of the day, all the newsboys sold their newspapers]

[The next day, sales were still rising]

[You don’t have to wait half a year, just three months later, the sales of the New Times exceeded [-], shocking the jaws of all followers]

[Your newspaper is a great success and you win the bet]

[The next day, Jack declared bankruptcy]

[You took advantage of the situation and annexed the other party's factories and personnel, and after half a year, you officially became the largest newspaper in Virginia]

A good start~

Richard patted his belly cheerfully.

His strategy is actually very clear, which is to create a truly civilian newspaper!

The traditional newspaper industry is too expensive and cumbersome, and pornographic tabloids can’t handle it at all, so let’s take a middle-of-the-road approach!

Try our best to reduce costs, use street retail to expand channels, and make content as close to the people and eye-catching as possible. This is also the way in which various commercial newspapers and periodicals got started in previous generations.

[After initial success, you pursue the victory]

[You asked someone to develop a lighter and lighter white newspaper printing paper, further reducing the cost of a single copy and increasing advertising costs]

[Not only did you expand your production capacity, you also added new sections for novels and comics. Although the employees didn’t understand what comics were at first, they quickly learned it under your step-by-step guidance.]

[You have reshaped many works from your previous life and stuffed them into the new section, such as "The Silly Boy Learned Martial Arts in Five Years and Reached the Top in Three Years", "My Dual Relationship with My Aunt", and "How to Choose Between a Conscience and a Reluctance" etc. of】

[You have also created various rankings, such as the top ten clothing stores with the best craftsmanship, the most worth visiting restaurants, the top [-] rankings of top schools, etc., attracting countless people to contact you...]

[Your reporters gradually spread across the mainland, and the speed of collecting news has greatly increased, so much so that sometimes the Foreign Secretary has to read your newspaper first to know what is happening in the world]

[Your influence gradually increases]

[Three years later, the New Era Newspaper returned to the capital of Idaril and became the largest circulation newspaper in the empire. You have also become a veritable media giant]

The first step of the plan is completed~

But then, Richard began to encounter difficulties...

[Some nobles accuse you of slandering them in the newspaper and hope to ban the New Times.There were also local evil forces who, after being exposed by you, ordered armed men to smash up your branch.More competitors will criticize your newspaper for being shoddy and insulting to elegance]

Tsk, the tree is so big that it attracts the wind.

But before Richard could come up with a solution, someone helped him solve the problem.

[Luvia sends her followers to arrest all the criminals who threaten you with violence]

[At the same time, she expressed her support for your newspaper without hesitation, and confronted those who criticized you tit for tat, making it impossible for the latter to step down]

[You also heard that she used the power of the Cromwell family to prevent several seizures of your newspaper]

[Your favorability towards Luvia has increased]

Ok.

This is a conspiracy, you can't refuse it, you even have to thank it.

When Richard was about to do this, he realized that Luvia's action was not over yet.

[Luvia took the initiative to move to live near you]

[In view of your previous statement that you should focus on your career, she did not disturb you when you were at work, nor did she force you to practice swordsmanship. Instead, she learned cooking skills and cooked a table of hot dishes for you when you returned home - this It would be rude not to take the next bite, so you have to accept this kindness]

[Your favorability towards Luvia has increased]

[In addition to cooking, she also tried to knit towels for you, wrote an article about her daily battle experiences for you to correct and submit, and specially spent a high price to create a new scabbard for the Thorn of Darkness for you...]

[Your favorability towards Luvia has increased significantly]

Richard was silent.

First of all, these good intentions are all conspiracy, and they are not something that can be rejected casually like giving flowers or money - a scarf knitted by a woman herself. If you refuse, you will probably fall out.

Secondly, he...

He was somewhat moved by Luvia.

It is not difficult to stick to one thing in the simulation, but it still takes effort to do everything comprehensively.

What's more, Luvia is so different from the cold-faced sword master in the past!

Although it may be the onset of the hidden yandere attribute... But Youdao is sincere in exchange for sincerity. Richard asks himself that he is not stupid and cannot ignore Luvia's efforts...

[You gradually reduce your deliberate avoidance of Luvia]

the other side.

Success?

Luvia breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest. For a moment, the mountains seemed to be gathering together and the waves were like anger.

Sure enough, on the basis of empathy, perseverance is useful for Richard!

You can put away the basement and the iron chain first, maybe they won’t be used anymore...

However, don’t relax yet!

Luvia vaguely remembered that at the same time, Alice in the south almost always succeeded.

My progress is still slow!

Luvia, Luvia, you have to work harder!

Whatever Richard needs, you must support him!

Richard's side.
