The Cold War: Jumping back and forth between the two camps

However, Rui Yi did not continue to ask, but looked at the novel in his hand carefully again.

"From now on, you will be responsible for the magazine's advertising work. There will be no business pressure in the early stage. Once the magazine sells well, it should be easy to find business!"

Liu Liyuan also explained, but Rui Yi just nodded. He was now fully focused on the novel.

In response, Liu Liyuan could only smile helplessly at Dunn.

The two of them talked about the next step of development. The framework of the magazine has been set up, and they are just waiting for the right day to open.

"Mr. Du, what should we name the magazine? We haven't decided yet. Do you think you can come up with an idea?"

The magazine is about to open, but the name hasn’t been chosen yet. I feel a little ashamed because it is also a mistake I made at work.

"Do you have any plans for me?"

Dunn didn't have any good ideas about naming, although he knew a lot of magazines and names in later generations.

But he didn't know whether any of these magazines had already been established. If they were really smart, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Liuli gave the document in his hand directly to Dunn. There were only a few names on it. Dunn looked at it carefully and finally decided on one of them - Changhe.

Liu Liyuan nodded. Since it was the boss's decision, he would not raise any objections.

As for the name, he and several of his men had been looking for it for a long time, but they couldn't make up their minds. In fact, he was not very satisfied with the name Changhe.

It was just that it was hard to find someone who could make the decision, and he was unwilling to refute Dunn too much, even though the name of the magazine was decided.

The reason why Dunn chose this name was simply because it was the name he was least familiar with.

Liu Liyuan had some impression of several other names he gave, such as Story Club and Dunn. He thought there would definitely be magazines with the same name in the future, so he didn't make any more choices.

In fact, the name that Dunn thought of most was - Starting Point, but for some reason, he always felt that there was a mysterious force that made him give up this plan.

Finally, the name Changhe was chosen.

"Is that all?"

At this time, Rui Yi had already finished reading the novel in her hand and asked with some dissatisfaction.

"The writer should be able to write some more today. I'll show it to Miss Rui Yi later!"

Liu Liyuan said somewhat embarrassedly that in fact he had not urged his writers to write novels in the past few days.

Because I was preparing the resume for the magazine, the beginning was already out and the content of the first three issues of the magazine had been finalized, so there was no pressure on the manuscript.

If the preliminary preparations had not been completed in the past two days, Liu Liyuan would have asked his writers to start writing again in advance to prevent future writers from getting stuck. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to produce enough manuscripts for Ruiyi to read today.

"Ms. Rui Yi, it seems that you would be interested in this job!"

Dunn smiled and said that Rui had always been more interested in the food factory on the isolated island.

Rui Yi didn't say anything. After all, she felt embarrassed to change her mind so quickly.

Dunn also saw what Rui was thinking, so he sent Liu Liyuan to get the manuscript first, and he left Rui in his office.

"Ms. Rui Yi! Then you should be able to apply for employment, right?"

There were only two people left in the office, and then Rui Yi obviously relaxed and nodded and said.

"Actually, I can work in a magazine! You just said you wanted me to attract some advertising business?"

Dunn nodded.

"Yes, but as I just said, there is no business pressure in the early stage, so you can have a good rest!

Once the magazine becomes famous, we can start to deal with some advertising business!"

After all, she is William's sister, and Dunn certainly can't use business to pressure her.

A plan had already been made during the discussion with Liu Liyuan. If Ruiyi's business ability was really not good enough, he would be assigned an assistant to take over Ruiyi's work, and Ruiyi could just be a vase.

Don't underestimate the income from advertising if the magazine's reputation is really established.

It is likely that the advertising revenue alone will rival the revenue from magazine sales.

This is still in a small area like Hong Kong. If it were an isolated island, the advertising revenue would be even greater. It's a pity that the isolated islands are not developed yet, and their economic level may not be able to catch up with Hong Kong.

But it will be soon. After the Peninsula War, the market on the isolated island will probably be activated. At that time, it will be possible to set up a branch of the magazine on the isolated island.

When thinking of the isolated island, Dunn thought of present-day Japan.

It seems that this model can also be brought to Japan, but for Japan, it’s not just novels. You have to know that the most famous thing in Japan in later generations is anime.

After a while, Dunn could go to Japan and start a comics company.

You have to know that the famous Japanese comic magazine "Weekly Shonen Jump" had not yet been released, so Dunn could have seized this market in advance.

With some classic anime works from later generations in Dunn's mind, Dunn felt that this plan was completely feasible.

Given that Japan's population is several times larger than Hong Kong's, the profits it can generate will certainly be greater.

Moreover, Japan's copyright protection in the future will obviously be much better than Hong Kong.

By then, the magazine will be just a gimmick, and the bulk of the income will come from adapting the comics into anime.

However, this matter can only be studied in the future, and I really can't take care of it now.

Anyway, there are still several years before the release of Weekly Shonen Jump.

The most important thing right now is to get the military food order from the United States.

When the Korean War breaks out in the future, they will not starve just by relying on this order, and the profit may be higher than that of the smuggling business.

Even if that were the case, Dunn would not give up the smuggling business.

After a future war breaks out, the mainland will be even more short of supplies.

I'll help if I can, but doing so also carries great risks. I've decided to make some cuts with the Saliol family in the future.

To avoid getting implicated if something really happens. But if you think about it, if something really happens, it would be unreliable to rely on a group of gang members.

Moreover, considering Dunn's current identity and status, this matter is really hard to control. I'll discuss it with Lloyd when the time comes.

Stopping the smuggling business is the worst option, but if he really has no choice, Dunn can only do this.

"I think I can attract some business right now. For example, your partner has a lot of business in Hong Kong, right? It shouldn't be difficult to get him to do some advertising!"

Rei gave a sly smile.

Dunn was somewhat surprised by her idea.

I didn't expect this woman to have such a flexible mindset. Indeed, with Feng Enshuo's current identity, he might not dare to refuse Rui Yi's request.

Because basically now Rui Yi represents myself, rejecting Rui Yi means rejecting myself. After all, I also founded the magazine myself.

Feng Enshuo is trying to win me over now, how could I possibly refuse?

I guess this woman Rui Yi also grasped Feng Enshuo's psychology.

"That's not good. After all, Mr. Feng and I are partners!"

Dunn looked a little embarrassed. He did have some psychological burden in attacking his partner, but it was not much. He just didn't want to give the impression of turning his back on him in front of Rui Yi.

"What's the big deal? You're helping a friend, so we can just give him a friendly price!"

Seeing that Dunn didn't want to agree, Rui Yi immediately started to persuade Dunn.

"You also said that the magazine will definitely be very popular in the future, so the earlier we advertise in the magazine, the more cost-effective it will be! Considering that our magazine is also just starting out, it would be nice to have an extra income, right?"

It has to be said that this woman really has some talent for bewitching people. If Dunn had not seen some bosses making big promises in his later life, he might have been fooled by this woman.

However, Feng Enshuo and he are only in a cooperative relationship. Anyway, those people on the isolated island are now eager to win him over. Why not make money from them if he can?

Although Dunn has some psychological burden, he will never go against money.

"Well, I'll leave this job to you. But Mr. Feng and I are friends after all, so don't be too harsh on him!"

Finally, Dunn nodded reluctantly.

"In fact, I think we can also put the self-heating pot you invented in our magazine to advertise it. I believe it should be able to open up the Hong Kong market..."

Before Rui Yi could finish her words, she was interrupted by Dunn. After all this time, this woman was still thinking about the food factory.

"Ms. Rui Yi! I've told you that the Zihaiguo will not be considered for civilian use for the time being. What we need to do now is to give priority to supplying the military and get the military's orders first!"

Seeing how decisive Dunn's words were, Rui Yi also felt a little confused.

“These two things don’t seem to conflict with each other. How many troops does the United States have in East Asia? How many orders can they consume?

We can supply the US military while increasing production capacity, and then promote it in Hong Kong or isolated islands!"

"Insufficient production capacity!"

Dunn said helplessly that Rui Yi didn't know that the war on the future peninsula was about to begin.

The consumption of quick food like Zihaiguo is not large under normal circumstances. Because the U.S. troops stationed in Japan, South Korea and isolated islands can eat meals cooked with open fires, they probably won't choose this kind of emergency military rations.

The problem is that once a war breaks out, the demand for products like Zihaiguo, which are positioned as emergency military rations, will increase greatly. With the production capacity of the factory on the isolated island Xia Wenxing, it would be good enough to supply the troops on the front line.

It is not advisable to promote it in the direction of civilian use at present.

Once the Zihaiguo becomes famous in the U.S. military, it can be promoted not only in East Asia but also in Europe.

But it is definitely not the time now, because the publicity and promotion costs alone will consume a huge amount of money.

It is not easy to get ordinary people to accept a new type of food.

Besides, the cost of making something like a self-heating pot is not cheap nowadays. Not to mention the ingredients, the main thing is that the current plastic cannot meet the standards of future generations.

If you want to use a self-heating pot, you probably have to prepare a set of tableware.

If it is so troublesome, I guess most people, especially those at the bottom of society, will choose to cook for themselves.

Before the consumption level in East Asia is raised, instant noodles are actually much easier to promote than Zihaiguo.
