In the history of Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia's media industry, there has never been a precedent where one newspaper has gone all out to advertise another newspaper that hasn't even been published yet!
And now, this situation has finally appeared!
Moreover, it's the top-selling *Jiuding Daily* taking the lead. This level of honor and influence is immense!
After all, the figure of 940,000 daily sales is not a small thing!
In all of Hong Kong, if you remove *Jiuding Daily* from the top spot, the combined sales of newspapers ranked second to tenth in Hong Kong and Macau still don't surpass the total sales of *Jiuding Daily*!
So now, with *Jiuding Daily* making every effort to promote *Fengyun Daily*, the effect is naturally substantial!
As long as a quarter of that impact converts, it will mean over 200,000 copies in sales, directly surpassing the daily sales of *Sing Tao Daily* in Hong Kong!
Moreover, with Jiuding Newspaper Company's formidable distribution capabilities and its top-tier distribution network, plus the creation of a new market, *Fengyun Daily* is entering uncharted territory in international news. As long as the quality of *Fengyun Daily* is up to standard, the sales will certainly not be low—it's just a matter of how high it can reach!
Such a simple fact is clear to the leaders of the Hong Kong newspaper industry and even the entire Southeast Asian newspaper industry!
It's very likely that Jiuding Newspaper Company will cultivate another "shark" from its ranks, adding one more formidable competitor, and possibly a strong one at that, with significant competitive strength.
With only so much "meat" in the pot, others will naturally get less to eat!
The situation is becoming extremely severe for other competitors from now on!
Today is the first day that *Jiuding Daily* is paving the way for *Fengyun Daily*. With two more days of promotion to go before the official launch on the third day, the situation will become truly dire!
"If only we had more than two days. The time is too short; there's no way to respond in time. We're caught off guard!"
In the office building of *Sing Tao Daily*, Hu Xianxiu, the owner and editor-in-chief, frowned deeply as she looked at *Jiuding Daily* on her desk, muttering to herself.
She sighed, rubbing her temples.
At this moment, she felt a great headache!
"Already under the shadow of *Jiuding Daily*, but at least I accepted it when it took down *Oriental Daily*."
"But if *Fengyun Daily* comes out now and adds to the pressure, life will be unbearable!"
"The most important thing is that the impact of *Jiuding Daily* on me was not significant. I thought we could coexist peacefully. Unexpectedly, Jiuding Newspaper Company is restless and has launched another newspaper. From its positioning alone, it will have a huge impact on *Sing Tao Daily*. It seems I was too optimistic before; peers are rivals!"
Thinking of this, Hu Xian's mood grew darker. Originally, she had a favorable impression of Jiuding Newspaper Company due to the fall of *Oriental Daily* and Ma's family, but now, with this new development, her good impression evaporated instantly.
*Sing Tao Daily* used to report significant news from Southeast Asia, which was a notable feature compared to other newspapers.
But now, if *Fengyun Daily* reports news from around the world, this comparison will make *Sing Tao Daily*'s feature seem insignificant!
Such an impact is undoubtedly significant!
However, the business world is like a battlefield, and Jiuding Newspaper Company's bold moves cannot be blamed by others. They stand on their own merits.
"Now, advertising revenue has decreased significantly. Should we really just let it develop?"
Hu Xian thought to herself, beginning to quickly brainstorm ways for *Sing Tao Daily* to cope and minimize the impact.
One minute, two minutes, five minutes…
Soon, half an hour had passed, and Hu Xian's frown deepened as she still hadn't come up with a solution.
"Sigh…"
Helplessly, she sighed deeply, looking dejected.
She couldn't think of any effective standard business strategies, and the ones she could think of wouldn't work against Jiuding Newspaper Company.
As for other underhanded schemes, they appeared briefly in Hu Xian's mind before being discarded. She didn't dare use them against Jiuding Newspaper Company, and no one in Hong Kong's newspaper industry would dare either.
After all, the scene of *Oriental Daily*'s closure was still fresh. Although there was no direct evidence linking it to Jiuding Newspaper Company, if people believe it, that's enough. No one would risk it!
It would be better if Jiuding Newspaper Company didn't resort to underhanded tactics against them; they should avoid provoking them.
In the business world, everything is based on capability. Losing means losing, with no excuses!
"Forget it. With today included, we have just three days. It's too short to respond. We can only wait and see, and make decisions based on the situation!"
"And… if *Fengyun Daily* succeeds, then in the realm of international news, *Sing Tao Daily* still has an advantage compared to other newspapers. We might still benefit, recover some losses, or even gain something…"
"I don't believe the market can be monopolized!"
Thinking this, Hu Xian's eyes grew sharp. She hoped *Fengyun Daily* would stumble but also wished for its success to prove the potential of this market.
This day, Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asia were destined to change because of the news from *Fengyun Daily*. Many people paid attention, curious about the yet-to-be-released *Fengyun Daily*.
On the second and third days, *Jiuding Daily* continued to promote *Fengyun Daily*, making it well-known. Many readers could remember the features and positioning of *Fengyun Daily*.
In Jiuding Printing Factory, a workshop specifically for printing *Fengyun Daily*, many company executives gathered.
Xia Yu scanned the faces of the high-ranking officials and finally looked at the composed Zhang Lei, asking, "Zhang Lei, is there no problem with the printing of *Fengyun Daily* this time?"
"Boss, rest assured, there will be no problem!"
Meeting Xia Yu's gaze directly, Zhang Lei stood tall and assured with confidence.
"Hmm, no mistakes must be allowed!"
Xia Yu nodded slightly and said seriously.
"Wenhan, how is the situation? Let everyone know so they have a clear picture!"
Xia Yu looked at Yan Wenhan.
Hearing this, the executives present looked at Yan Wenhan with some anticipation.
Especially the three department heads of Jiuding News Agency were very concerned about the situation. After all, the success or failure of *Fengyun Daily* was related to the role of Jiuding News Agency, and they naturally hoped for the best outcome.
"Boss, our company has branches throughout Southeast Asia, and there are printing factories in each country. The template for the first issue of the newspaper has been sent to each branch for separate printing, so it will definitely be on sale first thing tomorrow morning."
"Currently, this printing factory only needs to supply the sales in Hong Kong and Macau, so the pressure is not great!"
"Our distributors are very confident about *Fengyun Daily*, so the total order volume has reached 300,000 copies, with 120,000 copies for Hong Kong and Macau, and 180,000 copies for Southeast Asia."
"If sales are good, additional copies will be printed immediately. With our printing capability, there will be no problems!"
Yan Wenhan said earnestly.
"Good, with an initial print of 300,000 copies, I hope all these newspapers will sell out and maximize the sales!"
"Tomorrow is the time to test the results. All departments, ensure everything is in order. Understood?"
Xia Yu finished speaking, looking at the subordinates present.
"Understood!!!"
Everyone immediately shouted in unison, their expressions serious and solemn.
