Hatake Sakumo’s greatest expectation before establishing the newspaper was to publish more things that would benefit Hokage in the newspaper, but after hearing Fenghuo’s words, he suddenly realized that he could completely control the direction of public opinion by using newspapers!
Feng Huo said again: "And we can publish more heroic deeds of ninjas in the newspapers, increase the popularity of these ninjas, and make them idols in the hearts of the people!"
Hatake Sakumo's eyes lit up.
Jiu Xinnai's eyes also lit up, staring fiercely at Feng Huo as if following the fire.
She knows that Namikaze Minato's dream is to become Hokage, but is it easy to become Hokage? Even if Minato is Jiraiya's apprentice, it is far from enough, but if Minato becomes a village hero and the idol of countless people through the influence of the newspaper, isn't it a certainty that he will become Hokage?
Thinking of this, Jiu Xinnai felt that it was necessary to establish a good relationship with Fenghuo.
"Brother Fenghuo~"
Fenghuo shuddered, and the goosebumps fell down: "You, you speak well."
Jiu Xinnai's brows twitched, and she smiled bluntly: "Do you think I didn't speak well?"
Hatake Sakumo suddenly remembered something, stood up and interrupted them, saying: "Fenghuo, there is another question, about funding!"
When mentioning money, Feng Huo remembered that he still owed Yaoshi Nonoyu and Xihi Zhenhong a large sum of money, maybe, he could get it from the newspaper, huh? Hey hey...
On the first day of the establishment of the newspaper, Fenghuo, as the vice president, had already started to use public funds.
"Master Hatake, in terms of funds, there will be a small fee in the early stage, and then you can be responsible for your own profits and losses." Feng Huo said.
"How much do you plan to sell a newspaper?" Hatake Sakumo asked nervously.
"Ten taels!" Feng Huo was serious.
Hatake Sakumo stretched out his hand to pull out the white blade behind his back expressionlessly.
Namikaze Minato smiled wryly and said: "Fenghuo, is the ten-year-old meeting too cheap? This is not enough money to print newspapers. The more we sell, the more we will lose."
Feng Huo said with a smile: "I originally wanted to give it away for nothing."
Shine!
The white blade is half out of its sheath.
Feng Huo hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, do you know where the real money for the newspaper is?"
Seeing their bewildered faces, Feng Huo smiled, "Selling advertisements!"
"Advertisement? Is it the sign language outside the shop?" Namikaze Minato's comprehension ability is really excellent.
"That's right, think about it, the advertisement of a store can only be placed outside the store, and only a few people can see it, but if the advertisement is placed on the newspaper, the more the newspaper will sell, the more people who see the advertisement The more there are, the better the business of that store will be!" The old **** Fenghuo is here.
"Will someone really come to buy an advertisement?" Hatake Sakumo hesitantly inserted the white blade back into the scabbard.
"As long as the newspaper sells a lot, people will naturally come to buy it. If there are a lot of buyers, we can hold an auction. Hehe, after all, the newspaper is so big and there are only a few advertising spaces. Naturally, the one with the highest price will get it." Feng Huo rubbed his hands. , In this way, one's own debt is not a problem.
Everyone was quickly persuaded by Fenghuo. Under his command, they contacted the printing company and edited those ninja missions into small urban suspense stories according to Fenghuo's routine. A few days later, the first newspaper was finally published.
Hatake Sakumo, Namikaze Minato, and Kushina looked at the newspaper, feeling less confident again.
"Fenghuo, how many copies should be printed for this first newspaper?" Sakumo Hatake didn't know what to do.
Feng Huo waved his hand: "Ten thousand copies!"
Hatake Sakumo calculated in his mind that if all the 10,000 copies of the newspaper were sold, he could get back 100,000 taels, excluding the money for printing the newspapers, then the newspaper office would be directly in debt of 200,000 taels.
Hatake Sakumo was very tired: "Is it true that each newspaper only sells for ten taels?"
Feng Huo said: "If you sell it cheaply, more people will be willing to buy it, and if there are more people buying it, then the advertisement will be sold!"
Hatake Sakumo could only do as Fenghuo said.
Zilai came out of nowhere: "Suo Mao, don't worry, with my novel here, the newspaper will definitely be sold out! Hahaha!"
Speaking of this, Feng Huo remembered that he hadn't read the novel written by Ji Laiye yet, he hurriedly grabbed the newspaper and found Ji Laiye's novel, good guy, it took up a small half of the page.
"Hmm..." Feng Huo looked at ten lines at a glance.
"How is it? Hahahaha, this is a novel I carefully crafted, and it is definitely the best-selling novel in the ninja world, bar none, hahaha!" Zilai also laughed proudly.
After reading Jiraiya's novels, Feng Huo was in a bad mood. It's not that his writing was bad, but that he wrote it very well. It was so lifelike and immersive!
For example, this episode of voyeurism in a woman's bathroom, whether it's an action description or a psychological description, is almost as if the author has personally experienced it!
Feng Huo took a look at Zilaiye, no wonder he was able to write "Intimate Heaven", the love is accumulated on weekdays.
But what needs to be said still needs to be said.
"Master Ziraiya, the newspaper should teach people to be kind and guide positive energy. Your writing is not in compliance with the regulations."
"Rules, who made the rules!" Jiraiya was furious, shaking his white hair, cracks were drawn out of the hard ground.
"He!" Feng Huo pointed at Sakumo Hatake.
"Hehe." Hatake Sakumo was confused.
In any case, UU Kanshu finally got Zilai to agree to revise the manuscript. Another day of delay passed.
…
Danzo has been paying close attention to the newspaper office. When he learned that in addition to Hatake Sakumo, Namikaze Minato, Kushina, and even Jiraiya were also involved, he was even more sure that this newspaper office is not simple, and there must be fraud in it!
"Master Danzo, this is the first newspaper published by the Konoha Newspaper!" A root ninja ran in panting, and respectfully handed over a somewhat crumpled newspaper.
Danzo took it with a calm face. It was indeed a piece of paper, but it was a bit big, almost a quarter of the size of the table.
There are densely packed small characters on the front and back of the newspaper. When Danzo found the front, his eyes immediately straightened.
--Why does the old sow in the pig farm next door disappear frequently?
--The thunderstorm night at the widow's house in the village, why did he scream every night.
--Why is the old lady's little milk cat repeatedly attacked by black hands?
--Is it the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality behind all this?
--Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, wrote a masterpiece "I am the Savior".
Danzo said that his eyes are so hot.
"What are these things!" Danzang slapped the newspaper on the table, and said coldly, "How are the sales of the newspaper?"
"Master Danzo, the sales volume of the newspaper is very good." The ninja replied honestly, "The Konoha Newspaper has sent people to print it!"
"Hehe, from this point of view, they have made a lot of money." Danzo said with a sullen face.
The root ninja said: "The fact is just the opposite, Mr. Danzo, this newspaper only sells for ten taels, which is far from enough money to print."
"Hehehe, that's right, that would be great."
Danzo rolled his eyes, and soon thought of a good idea, and went to talk to Hiruzaru Sarutobi with a sweet smile on his face.
