Chapter 82 Freedom Fighter

Denico hurriedly came up and shouted at the bewildered supervisor: "What are you doing? Why don't you apologize? This is the boss of our newspaper.

"Yes, yes." The supervisor nervously stepped back a few steps and bowed repeatedly, "I'm very sorry."

Joseph gestured to the workers around him: "You should apologize to them."

"Ah, yes." The supervisor turned around and bowed to the people in simple clothes, "I'm sorry..."

Denico frowned and nodded, "Let's go."

The supervisor hurriedly retreated and fled out of the warehouse. During the process, he stepped on a rope for tying books and almost fell to the ground.

The workers cast grateful eyes at Joseph. The brave ones bowed to him and said: "Thank you, sir, you are such a kind and good man."

Joseph noticed the cracked skin of the workers and told Denico: "Mr. Denico, please buy some lanolin and give it to everyone for free. Don't get frostbite.

"Also, in the coldest month of the year, we will give everyone an extra week's wages as a subsidy to keep warm."

Denis nodded and said, "Yes, I remember it."

The workers couldn't believe their ears. They felt that this young noble boss was simply the incarnation of an angel. He not only stopped the supervisor from beating people at will, but was also so generous to everyone.

These simple workers didn't talk much. They just started working again silently, but their hands were obviously much faster than before. They were also more careful when tying and placing books.

Joseph continued to walk forward along the gap between the piles of books and picked up a booklet. He saw that the paper was gray and rough, obviously the lowest kind, and the printing was also very simple. It was only sewn in the middle with some kind of plant fiber, and it barely wouldn't fall apart.

But this booklet has 16 pages, including 5 illustrations.

He looked at the pile of books, turned around and asked, "Mr. Denico, how many copies were printed this time?"

Denico took two steps forward: "Your Highness, 30,000 copies of each of the two booklets were printed, which should be enough for sale in Paris and surrounding towns."

Joseph nodded: "How much does this book cost?"

"Because there are more pages, it costs 1 sou and 5 deniers." Denico added, "The lithographic printing you invented is really amazing. If it weren't for this thing, the cost would definitely exceed 3 sou."

In fact, if the previous copper plate printing was used, no booklet would dare to have 5 illustrations - the cost of engraving the copper plate can increase the cost of the booklet several times.

It can be said that the booklet launched by Paris Business News this time is definitely the most luxurious benchmark in the booklet industry.

Joseph said without hesitation: "Then sell it at cost price."

"Yes, Your Highness." Denico has become accustomed to the boss's luxury. The last time those newspapers were priced, if there were no shops rushing to advertise, they would have to lose money.

Joseph opened the booklet in his hand. The first few pages were all exciting novels, with an article titled "How much money did the judges of the High Court embezzle?" inserted in the middle.

There were a total of four such articles in the gaps between the exciting novels.

Joseph read through them roughly and found that the quality of several articles was really unsatisfactory. The text was dragged out, did not arouse the anger of readers, and was difficult to resonate with.

He couldn't help but frowned slightly: "The content of the article should be more inflammatory."

Denico nodded awkwardly: "Yes, I will do my best."

Joseph also knew that this was not his fault. Paris Business Daily used to be a tabloid with a sales volume of hundreds of copies, and the editor's ability was just like that.

He thought about it and pointed to the booklet in his hand and said: "We can improve the title first.

"For example, this "How much money did the judges of the High Court embezzle" can be changed to "Anger! They said that if you don't have money, get out of here, you don't deserve to win."

"The following article, 'The truth of the case of inheritance of Leon heard by Chief Justice Vesinier', will be called 'Shock! The story between a widow, two men, and Chief Justice Vesinier that must be told'.

"The impact of the failure to register the tax bill on the national finances was changed to 'It's terrible! They are robbing France's money, but we don't know it'..."

Denico's eyes suddenly widened.

These titles seem to be a little related to the content of the article, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

But the most important thing is that these titles are too tempting. Anyone who sees these titles will definitely want to read the following articles!

He sighed in his heart: If the prince becomes a reporter, he will be fought over by major newspapers just based on the ability of this title.

As Joseph was talking, he saw a newspaper manager signaling to Denico from a distance, and the latter hurriedly said to Joseph:

"Your Highness, the guest you are waiting for has arrived. "

Joseph nodded and went to the newspaper office with Denico.

A middle-aged man with messy hair and deep nasolabial folds was waiting here.

When he saw the two people coming in, he stood up and saluted Denico and said, "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Denico. Thank you for publishing my article. I wonder what you want me to do?"

Denico immediately followed Joseph's instructions and said to the latter, "Mr. Xavier, this is Mr. Mara."

He pointed to Joseph wearing a tricorn hat and said, "Mr. Mara, this is the owner of our newspaper, Mr. Xavier.

"Oh, it was his instruction that your article was published in the newspaper."

Marat bowed to Joseph and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Xavier. You are so young and promising, and you run Paris Business so well."

Joseph smiled and returned the greeting, gesturing to the chair next to him: "Mr. Marat, please sit down."

Yes, the main purpose of his coming to the newspaper today was to meet Marat, the famous Jacobin leader in history, who could kill 3,000 people with just a signature.

The article Marat wrote about the tax bill encountered obstacles everywhere, and finally submitted it to Paris Business.

Denico needed this kind of manuscript at the time, so he published it directly.

When Joseph saw Marat's name in his own newspaper, he suddenly had an idea and asked Denico to meet him.

Joseph knew very well that although Marat was just a sharp journalist on the surface, he actually had great energy, a wide network of contacts, and a huge influence among the grassroots people. If handled properly, he might be able to play a significant role in his game with the High Court.

However, in view of Marat's extremely repulsive attitude towards the royal family, he could only choose to meet him in a different identity.

After Marat sat down, De Nico turned around and left, saying that he had something to do in the warehouse.

Joseph looked at Marat and smiled, "I have always admired you very much, Mr. Marat. You are a true freedom fighter."

Marat was obviously very pleased with this title, and immediately bowed and said, "It is my honor to fight for justice and rights for the French people."

Because this book will be on the shelves tomorrow morning, the author begs for the first order, which is very important to this book. I hope everyone can support it. The author is very grateful!
