Chapter 583: The Weight of a Word

The staff of the commercial department welcomed the two of them towards the building, “Let me introduce myself ah, my name is Ying Yuzheng, I’m the supervisor of Hope Media’s commercial department, please two of you go upstairs and chat.”

Ren Xiaosu walked into the building and surveyed the interior of Hope Media, the staff came and went, and there was no special tight security, it was just like a very ordinary office building.

One must know that Hope Media has made a lot of enemies over the years, and the number of times it has offended the consortium is simply countless, shouldn’t such a company be more cautious?

On the 7th floor, Ren Xiaosu just got out of the elevator and heard a loud voice that seemed to be reprimanding others.

Only to see an old man on crutches is saying to a young man: “News people should respect the facts, you wrote yesterday’s article what problems do not know yourself, have not investigated, have not been forensic, solely based on their own imagination to attract readers’ attention is absolutely not to be done! Every newspaper that goes out here and is left to future generations must be true, when they pick up a current Hope Media newspaper decades later, they will immediately know the truth of today, and that’s what we’re going to do!”

The young reporter said, “But other newspapers are also ……”

“Others are others, Hope Media is Hope Media!” The old man on crutches said, “Don’t forget, what is the original intention of entering this business, is it fame and fortune? If you want fame and fortune, I’ll write you a letter of recommendation to go to the Green Harvest Group! And what we hope media to do is to respect the facts and record history!”

The young reporter stopped talking.

Ying Yuzheng smiled at Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue, “Sorry to make fun of you, our editor-in-chief isn’t very good-tempered, two of you, this way please.”

He brought Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue to the conference room, and Ren Xiaosu saw that the walls of the conference room were labeled with big red letters: Seek truth from facts.

Ren Xiaosu didn’t think there was anything wrong with the editor-in-chief being angry at the reporters, but instead trusted Hope Media a little more.

Ying Yuzheng sat across the conference table and asked cordially, “What kind of advertisement do you two want to place?”

“It’s very simple,” Ren Xiaosu smiled and took out a slip of paper, “Just place it at the bottom of the fifth page, taking up a quarter of the space.”

Ying Yuzheng took the note, there were only two lines on that note, the first line, “Don’t let the sadness of the times, become your sadness.”

The second line, “61.”

This was what Ren Xiaosu had thought of, since Hope Media’s newspapers were all over the Central Plains, if Old Wang was in the Central Plains, he would definitely buy such an influential newspaper to keep an eye on current affairs.

Wang Fugui this person looks all day smiling, but the heart is very fine, work is very reliable, before Ren Xiaosu is still in the market town, go to the old Wang grocery store will often see him in the reading of the Qing’s official media newspaper, said to understand what happened recently, not out of touch with the times.

So Ren Xiaosu was going to advertise in Hope Media’s newspaper, and whether Yan Liuyuan or Wang Fugui saw that, they would immediately think of him.

He had said this to Yan Liuyuan in front of Old Wang, and Sister Xiaoyu even occasionally mentioned it in front of others, so it was a very iconic phrase.

The following 61, on the other hand, indicated that he was going to go to Barrier 61 soon to continue settling there, so if Old Wang and the others saw this, they would come to Barrier 61 to look for him.

This hint wasn’t too subtle, but only Old Wang and Yan Liuyuan and the others knew what it represented.

Ying Yu Zheng looked at the note and queried, “You’re just going to publish this advertisement?”

Usually people who came to Hope Media to place advertisements were companies doing corporate publicity, such as selling clothes and cosmetics and other profiteering industries, while the advertisement that Ren Xiaosu was going to place didn’t seem to have any utilitarian qualities ah.

Couldn’t it be a certain spy coming to pass on a password to use? Ying Yuzheng muttered in his heart, this is something that Hope Media often encounters, for example, the knight’s earliest contact information was to use Hope Media’s newspaper to pass on the password, and according to the password book to look for the words on the newspaper to be able to find the desired information.

However, any spy would not occupy the fifth page in such a high-profile manner. The first four pages do not accept advertisements, and the fifth page is extremely expensive.

Ying Yu Zheng glanced at Ren Xiaosu and said, “I don’t know what the two of you intend to do with this advertisement?”

Ren Xiaosu smiled, “Just think of it as passing on positive energy.”

“Then what does this 61 mean?” Ying Yuzheng asked.

“Ao, 61 is Children’s Day, and I want to wish everyone a happy Children’s Day in advance,” Ren Xiaosu explained without a red face or heartbeat.

Ying Yu Zheng wanted to say on the spot that I believe you, hell, it’s still far away from the damn Children’s Day, he patiently said, “Sir, it’s only November.”

“Well, our ads will run until June 1 next year,” Ren Xiaosu smiled, “How much do you need?”

This stunned Ying Yuzheng, and Zhou Yingxue beside him was also in a state of heartache, this fifth page accounted for a quarter of the advertisement space, how much money would it cost to place it for half a year!

Ying Yuzheng roughly calculated, then said to Ren Xiaosu, “Sorry, this business is a bit big, I can’t make the decision, please wait a bit.”

The advertisement alone amounted to over two million dollars, and the problem was that he couldn’t figure out Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue’s intentions.

Without waiting for Ying Yuzheng to go out for a long time, Ren Xiaosu heard the sound of a walking stick tapping on the ground outside the door, followed by the editor-in-chief who pushed the door open and entered the room, the other party’s white hair was combed meticulously, and his body was wearing a black Zhongshan suit, which made him look in high spirits.

That editor-in-chief came to the conference table and picked up the note on the table and asked, “Is this the advertisement that the two guests want to publish?”

Next to him, Ying Yuzheng said, “Yes.”

As a result, the editor-in-chief froze after taking a look at the note, his mouth involuntarily chanting, “Don’t let the sadness of the times become your sadness ……”

He looked up at Ren Xiaosu, “Who said this.”

“I said it,” Ren Xiaosu said.

“Why did you say that?” The Chief Editor continued to ask.

“Because I wanted to warn my brother not to go with the flow in this age,” Ren Xiaosu said seriously, “Now that I published this advertisement I just thought that I should tell more people to know this sentence.”

The Chief Editor laughed, he didn’t trust Xiaosu’s bullshit reasoning, it was just that he liked the quote for a second.

The chief editor took the note and looked at it for a long time and suddenly said, “For this advertisement, you can just pay 20% of the cost, 400,000 yuan, it’s the advertisement fee for 61 these two words, and I’ll waive the rest for you. I won’t ask you what purpose you have in publishing this advertisement, I will publish it for you until the first of June next year.”

Beside him, Ying Yuzheng froze, a million and six hundred thousand dollars was waived in one go.

Ren Xiaosu was also puzzled: “What are you trying to do here.”

The chief editor shook the note in his hand and said, “This sentence is worth so much money.”

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu’s heart touched a bit, so this era there are people who regard a sentence as so valuable.
