Chapter 154 You can do whatever you want
"Awen, you're back."
At home, when Azhen saw Su Ruiwen coming back, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"What are you doing?"
Su Ruiwen looked at the group of them gathered together and asked curiously.
"We are looking at jewelry." Ah Zhen said, picking up a magazine and flipping it open. "Ah Wen, do you think this bracelet is pretty?"
"good."
Su Ruiwen took a look and said casually.
He is just a rough guy, how could he understand these things? As long as they like it, that's enough.
"By the way, Awen, I remember you also have a gold shop." Li Xinxin suddenly said to Su Ruiwen.
"Yes, I also have a gold shop."
Su Ruiwen suddenly remembered.
Speaking of this gold shop, it was given to him by Mr. Hong as an apology last time.
Since then, Su Ruiwen only mentioned it once and then forgot about it.
"Okay, I'll take you to my own gold shop tomorrow." Su Ruiwen looked at them and said.
It’s your own home anyway, so just take whatever you like.
"No, I'm too busy lately." Le Huizhen said helplessly.
She also wanted to go shopping with Su Ruiwen, but she didn't have the time.
"By the way, what's the current situation at Xingchen Press?" Su Ruiwen asked Le Huizhen.
Since the establishment of Xingchen Press, Su Ruiwen has hardly ever asked about it.
"Awen, guess how many newspapers Xingchen Newspapers can sell in a day now?" Upon hearing this, Le Huizhen immediately looked at Su Ruiwen and asked expectantly.
"How many?"
Su Ruiwen thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Fifty thousand copies?"
Fifty thousand copies is already a lot. Fifty thousand a day means one million and a half a month, which is nearly twenty million a year.
For a newly established newspaper, this sales volume is already very good.
After deducting various cost expenses, you can still make a lot of money.
"No, guess again."
Le Huizhen shook her head.
"One hundred thousand?"
Su Ruiwen immediately became interested.
"No, it's 500,000 copies." Le Huizhen said with a smile.
"What? Five hundred thousand copies?"
Su Ruiwen was completely stunned when he heard this.
What does it mean to sell 500,000 newspapers? The Oriental Daily News in later generations only sold 530,000 newspapers a day at its peak.
"Why are there so many?" Su Ruiwen asked in surprise, "This is more than the Oriental Daily."
You have to know how long this newspaper group of theirs has been established and how long has the Oriental Daily been around.
"Awen, what are you thinking about? The daily sales of Oriental Daily are now around one million copies, and we can't catch up." Le Huizhen shook her head.
Only then did Su Ruiwen react.
The Hong Kong of this world is no longer the one of the future.
In Hong Kong, which has a population of seven million, Oriental Daily News can sell 500,000 copies a day. In Hong Kong, which has a population of 20 million, selling one million copies a day is not a lot.
If we calculate based on one dollar per newspaper, it would be 30 million Hong Kong dollars per month and more than 300 million per year.
After deducting various expenses, there is no problem in making more than 100 million.
"We are doing pretty well then, selling 500,000 newspapers a day." Su Ruiwen said with a smile on his face.
Although they have not caught up with the Oriental Daily, it has only been a short time since they started talking about the Xingchen Daily, while the Oriental Daily has been around for almost ten years.
In less than a year, they caught up with half of the sales of Oriental Daily, which was already very good.
"What? We are still far behind the Oriental Daily." Le Huizhen shook her head and said, "The Oriental Daily alone sells one million copies a day at the Oriental Press Group.
We have entertainment newspapers, times newspapers, daily newspapers, horse newspapers, economic newspapers, etc., and our total daily sales are only 500,000.”
The best-selling newspaper is the Entertainment Daily, with daily sales of 300,000 copies alone. The rest is equally divided among the Star Daily, Times, Economic Daily, etc.
The reason for this is that their Xingchen Entertainment Newspaper dares to report anything, including celebrity privacy, gossip, etc. There is nothing that their Xingchen Entertainment Newspaper dares not report.
Of course, the reports are based on the principle of seeking truth from facts and are not fabricated out of thin air.
"Next, I plan to vigorously develop the Times, Economic News, Horse Racing News, etc..." Le Huizhen outlined her own entrepreneurial blueprint.
As for the daily report, that’s it for now.
After these newspapers have established themselves, they will compete with Oriental Daily for market share.
"You just have to figure it out."
Su Ruiwen said casually.
As for the newspaper group, all he did was to protect Azhen, and the rest was left to her to handle.
"Is the money enough?" Su Ruiwen asked.
Now is the early stage of the newspaper industry, and we are hiring more people, so there may be a shortage of funds.
"There is currently a shortage of about five million." Le Huizhen said.
It is mainly used to pay salaries to staff.
Xingchen Press set up such a large business from the beginning, so the expenses were naturally high.
Let’s put it this way, there are currently about 700 foreign reporters in Xingchen Newspaper Group, about 70 writers, and more than a dozen editors and chief editors.
In addition, there are other logistics personnel and so on.
Now, the entire Xingchen Press has about a thousand people in total.
If we calculate based on a person's monthly salary of 2,000, the minimum monthly salary is 2 million, which also includes performance, bonuses, etc.
Different levels, such as editors and chief editors, have higher salaries.
At the end of the month, personnel expenses alone would be three million.
In addition to these, printing newspapers also costs money. Currently, they do not have their own printing plant, so the printing price of a newspaper is 20 cents per copy.
Although newspapers are sold for one dollar each, the price they pay for them is naturally not that high. It is usually around 70 cents.
In other words, if you can earn 50 cents from one newspaper, you can earn 250,000 yuan from 500,000 newspapers.
Minus one month's salary of three million, the total loss is two million, seven hundred and fifty thousand.
So, although the daily sales of 500,000 newspapers may seem like a lot, we are actually still losing money.
Who let them set up such a big stall? Don’t you see that Oriental Daily has only been taking one step at a time and has not yet entered into other fields and has always been a daily newspaper.
But as long as Xingchen Press makes an effort in the future, all newspapers will be well on their way.
"By the way, people in Hong Kong all love to read novels...Su Ruiwen suddenly had an idea.
Thinking about what happened to Jin Guliang in later generations, Su Ruiwen came up with an idea.
He could have published serials in these newspapers just to increase their sales.
Of course, he certainly wouldn't write a book.
But it doesn't matter, he just needs to tell the general plot once and leave the rest to the people below.
The more he thought about it, the more Su Ruiwen felt that this was a good idea.
