"You want to open a newspaper and think about how to make a profit?" Mrs. Sophie asked with concern.
Profit?
This is impossible to make a profit, at least in the short term is not profitable!
Newspapers are not so easy to open. The sales of newspapers are even less likely to rise in one day. Without sales, there is naturally no advertising revenue.
Under normal circumstances, the newspapers in the past few months are pure losses, and then slowly increase sales, and then receive some advertising, one step at a time to achieve profit.
The people of Vienna in this era are still not rich, the number of middle class is quite small, and the sales of newspapers are naturally very low.
"I am going to publish novels first, train a group of stable readers, and occasionally insert a little news of interest to the public to attract everyone's attention.
The issue of profit is not in a hurry. After the newspaper sales exceed 20,000 copies, consider this issue again. More in line with the actual situation!" Franz said with confidence that
"20,000 copies, this is not easy. As far as I know, there are only three newspapers that sell more than 20,000 copies in Vienna, unless they are in the national market!" Mrs. Sophie I thought about
it . Obviously, she also did her homework, and she did not open her mouth.
Franz nodded. He knew that even these three companies could not sell 20,000 newspapers every day in Vienna. Only when there was a lot of news, could they sell 20,000 copies.
There is no way. In this era, the population of Vienna is less than half a million. The number of people who can afford to buy newspapers will not exceed 80,000. There will be fewer people who are willing to pay for newspapers.
Franz estimates that the group that has long subscribed to newspapers in Vienna is between 20,000 and 30,000. Others buy newspapers occasionally.
It can be said that the living environment of the newspapers in this era is quite bad, coupled with the strict inspection system, this industry is not good.
Franz's goal is to increase the sales of newspapers to 10,000 copies in one year, and it is a success to sell 6,000 copies in Vienna.
Mrs. Sophie thought for a moment and said, "Franz, since you have already considered it clearly, you can do it boldly!
Give you a suggestion and recruit a reliable editor. He can make you lose a little.
Best . Don't blindly intervene in politics, this will save you a lot of trouble!"
"Thank you, my newspaper name can be seen, this is just a newspaper that makes a voice for the people, but how to do it is not something I should worry about". Franz smiled and said that
he does not want to be shot, politics can participate, but between the capitalist and the nobility, it is absolutely impossible to stand blindly.
As the heir to the empire, Franz's attitude will affect the position of many people, which is related to his own people.
Franz gave himself the position: a benevolent treasurer who cares about the people's livelihood. In the battle between the nobility and the capitalists, he must maintain a transcendental position.
These all need propaganda. I don't know how ordinary people know who he is.
...
Time passed by, and Franz quickly selected an editor-in-chief, Edward von Bowenfeld, for the newspaper. The only reason for his reason is that he is famous.
One of Austria's most well-known writers of this era, a radical activist youth in his early years, tends to be conservative in his later years.
Now that he has reached middle age, the blood is burning almost, and it is not completely exhausted.
"Mr. Bowenfeld, welcome you to join!" Franz smiled and said
"Respected Dagong, I am very happy to serve you!" Edward von Bowenfield replied,
"Mr. Bowenfeld, please come over today, mainly for the positioning of the newspaper, do you have any opinion?" Franz Asked,
"Grand Duke, revealing the dark side of society is the duty of every journalist, we must dare to expose it all!" Edward von Bowenfeld said with great expectation that
Franz knows why such a person is willing to accept his invitation. The feeling is to find a platform that can be awesome.
Austria is implementing a book inspection system. If there is no tough background, these literati want to swear by others.
There is no doubt that the heir to his empire is the best patron, even if it provokes things, can he still go to the boss?
Edward von Bowenfeld is not too young, and he has learned to compromise in the face of reality. He has just created a satirical government's "Adult".
He was worried after the release, because it was issued privately, and it was not checked by government agencies. It was arrested to be jailed.
When he was preparing to run, he received an invitation from Franz and he accepted it decisively.
The secret police in Austria this year is also watching people to eat. If he works under Franz, as long as he is not too much, these people will not take him.
Franz shook his head and said: "Mr. Bowenfeld, there are so many newspapers exposing the dark side of society, and there is no shortage of us.
The purpose of my newspaper is to be seen from the name of the newspaper. Our aim is to make a voice for the bottom of society.
I hope that by our efforts, we can change the living conditions of the people at the bottom of the country. They need bread and cheese. This is the most basic life needs of human beings and should be guaranteed!"
Any newspaper has a high concept. During this period, Austria did not have such a newspaper dedicated to the bottom people, because this class has no money to buy newspapers.
"Grand Duke, I have to say that your intention is great, but to achieve this goal, we must change our current political system!" Edward von Bowenfeld did not hesitate to start carrying private goods
Franz smiled Said: "The Austrian system does need to change, but I don't know how to change it.
Even if there is a ready-made plan in front of me, the accumulation of my knowledge is not enough to make a correct judgment, so in this I have to keep silent on the issue.
But I know that no matter how the system changes, the life of the people at the bottom needs to change. This requires the government to enact more laws to protect their interests!
Mr. Bowenfeld, your mission is very important. It is necessary to let more people in the society understand the life of the people at the bottom and care about the lives of the people at the bottom.
If it is possible to promote government legislation to protect their interests, it is even better!"
Who is afraid of people? Franz made Edward von Bowenfeld have nothing to say in a few words. Everyone knows that Austria needs reform, but how can it be reformed?
Everyone has different interests and needs different natural reforms. Franz simply sells small and small, don't expect a 16-year-old kid to decide the fate of the country.
