Chapter 405 Publication Plan
Li Qin had already intended to spread the word about his trip to the countryside to purchase goods, so when someone greeted him, he made no attempt to hide it.
He said directly:
"In order to purchase enough supplies, I plan to go to the countryside for three to five days this time, so I'm asking everyone to help look after some of my family's belongings."
Many residents looked surprised when they heard that Li Qin would be gone for three to five days.
However, as Li Qin had just mentioned, it was all to complete the procurement task, so there was nothing unusual about it.
As Li Qin himself said, if purchasing staff fail to complete their purchasing tasks, their wages will be deducted.
If you don't want your salary to be docked, you have to work hard.
As for Li Qin's offer to help take care of the family, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry!"
Although some residents in the courtyard house have problematic values, there are also normal ones.
Even a kind neighbor.
"Thank you everyone!"
Seeing his neighbor's kindness, Li Qin quickly expressed his gratitude.
He then pushed his bicycle away.
However, this was only the apparent situation. In reality, not long after Li Qin left Beijing, he found an opportunity to put away his bicycle.
Then they went directly to Hong Kong using the door key.
"Although I have a lot to do, all I want to do right now is get a good night's sleep."
Upon arriving at the apartment, Li Qin first used a spell to clean the entire apartment, and then went directly to the bedroom to sleep.
Li Qin didn't get out of bed until the sun was high in the sky.
He ate lunch in his apartment first before getting down to business.
Li Qin first checked the results of the mechanical pencil over the past two days:
The three great time-travel novels have been mostly copied, and the rest should be completed in about two more days.
As for the novels that are ready to be published, most of the content of both novels has been completed.
Li Qin's first choice was several novels by Jin Yong:
The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Smiling, Proud Wanderer;
Although Jin Yong wrote many novels, Li Qin did not intend to reproduce them all; he only planned to reproduce a few of them.
For example, the Condor Trilogy, namely Condor Heroes, The Return of the Condor Heroes, and The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber;
Also, there are *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils*, *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*, and *The Deer and the Cauldron*.
There are only these six books in total. As for the rest, Li Qin does not plan to reprint them.
One reason was that Li Qin didn't want to go too far. Since the goal was to replicate Jin Yong's achievements, he wanted to leave some room for the other party.
Anyway, Li Qin has read a lot of novels, and even if only a few copies of each great author's works are reproduced, it will be enough for Li Qin to use.
The mechanical pencil has now replicated most of the content from The Eagle Shooting Heroes and Tianlong.
Li Qin plans to modify the target of his visit tonight.
He plans to visit the management of several major newspapers.
Once these people are won over, Li Qin's replica of the novel can be successfully serialized and published in major Hong Kong newspapers.
However, before that, Li Qin first collected information on the mainstream newspapers currently in Hong Kong;
This information was very transparent, so Li Qin only spent a little time figuring it out.
The major newspapers in Hong Kong at that time included Ta Kung Pao, Wen Wei Po, New Evening Post, Jing Pao, and Hong Kong Commercial Daily. These newspapers occupied an important position in the Hong Kong newspaper market and formed a diversified newspaper industry landscape.
Ta Kung Pao: As a left-wing newspaper, it has considerable influence.
Wen Wei Po: Also a left-wing newspaper, it occupied an important position in the newspaper industry along with Ta Kung Pao.
Xinwanbao: This newspaper also enjoys high visibility.
Jingbao: As a neutral newspaper, its stance is relatively neutral. Hong Kong Commercial Daily: This newspaper represents the stance of a commercial newspaper.
Besides these mainstream newspapers, there are also some newspapers in Hong Kong that are inclined towards the Taiwan Kuomintang, such as the Commercial Daily.
And some centrist newspapers, such as the Overseas Chinese Daily and Sing Tao Daily.
In the end, Li Qin chose Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po.
One reason is that these two newspapers have the largest readership in Hong Kong, and another is that Jin Yong has now started publishing his novels in newspapers.
The two books published were The Book and the Sword and The Sword Stained with Royal Blood;
The publications are Xinwanbao and Xiangjiang Shangbao, respectively.
Li Qin was simply replicating Jin Yong's work; it would be unreasonable for him to use methods to cut off the other party's path to publication.
So he chose two other newspapers.
Having set his goal, Li Qin casually summoned a flock of birds:
"Go and monitor these people, so I have a clear understanding of their situation!"
As soon as Li Qin gave the order, the summoned birds immediately flew away.
These birds will then monitor the senior executives of Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po in real time.
Once the target is identified, Li Qin will make selective visits tonight, and then there will be no further obstacles to the publication of the novel.
"I'll take this opportunity to meet with the merchant I originally agreed to meet and finalize the delivery time for the furniture and household items."
Having accomplished one task, Li Qin immediately prepared to move on to the next.
Li Qin is a very proactive person.
Without the slightest hesitation after making the decision, he used Apparition to leave the apartment in the next second.
After that, he kept appearing at the shops where he had placed orders for the goods.
Because Li Qin was very generous when it came to paying deposits and negotiating prices, the shop owners were also very enthusiastic.
When Li Qin came to him, everything he needed had already been prepared.
He originally planned to have the shops deliver the goods the next day, but after seeing the situation, he decided to deliver them that afternoon.
The shops had no objections to Li Qin's request.
They were even very happy.
Of course, this might be because Li Qin said he could offer double the transportation and loading/unloading fees.
Given the current labor costs in Hong Kong, even doubling the price wouldn't amount to much, especially for Li Qin, who had a huge sum of money; it would be a drop in the ocean.
After arranging a time with the shop, Li Qin immediately returned to his apartment.
This time, he entered the apartment building openly from the outside, and the security guard did not stop Li Qin this time.
Li Qin had also proactively informed the security guards that someone would be delivering furniture and household items to him later.
Only in this way can the delivery workers enter the apartment building smoothly later.
After hearing Li Qin's words, the security guards all said they understood.
Because Li Qin had already used a spell to alter the memories of these security guards beforehand, they didn't find it strange that Li Qin's apartment had been furnished with furniture and other items without any renovations.
After dealing with the security guard downstairs, Li Qin took the elevator up to the 21st floor.
Then use the key to open the apartment door.
Li Qin then read a book in his apartment while waiting for the workers.
It has to be said that money is a really good thing. Li Qin didn't have to wait too long before the delivery workers arrived in batches.
They carefully moved the furniture and supplies that Li Qin had bought into the apartment.
