C2188 A noisy morning (1/2)
Last night was an exciting night for the entire City of London. Countless families were discussing the grand occasion of the day, the royal family's luxurious reception, the majestic military presence of the Chinese, and the thick Oriental style painting. All of these were the focus of public discussion.
There were too many people who had escaped a sleepless night. Among them, every major newspaper in London had paid twice the salary. All the staff members were busy 24 hours a day trying to snatch the peak of tomorrow's newspaper sales.
No matter how big the welcoming hall was, it couldn't hold a million spectators. There were only a hundred thousand or so citizens who were able to witness the grand event with their own eyes. Most of the citizens still needed to read the newspapers to understand what had happened yesterday.
It was to be expected that the sales of newspapers in London would increase exponentially the next morning. Even citizens who were not accustomed to reading newspapers would not miss such a grand historical event. There were even professional collectors who would collect all the Eastern reports on the market.
The London newspaper industry, with the Thames as the core, welcomed their grand ceremony. All of the golden pens began writing out shocking and huge titles all night long.
The mechanical printing plant in the suburbs emitted the scent of ink. The steam engine drove the printing press to spin, and the newspapers with the scent of ink were sent to all parts of Britain in bundles.
All the small newspaper boys had been waiting at the branch office since three o'clock. There were already staff of the newspaper taught them today's foreign languages, and as soon as the sky began to brighten, the entire City of London was woken up by the latest smell of ink and the sharp cries of the newspaper boys.
”Other than the nickname!” The east diplomatic mission dressed up yesterday and entered the city... Tower Bridge was captured by Chinese warships! ”
”Soldiers, show off your prowess!” The Eastern Legion can crush the imperial guards! ”
”Heavy news!” Heavy news! The Emperor of Great Qing Kingdom bowed towards the Queen. This is the first major diplomatic breakthrough in the past three thousand years! ”
”Look at the speech of the Chinese leader! Everything God made has the power to survive... ”
”Shocking Explosion!” The royal family found the last batch of dodo in the world … But the Chinese refuse to eat this kind of food! ”
”The head of the Hua Clan, Xiao Letian, has invested two hundred thousand pounds to establish a protection zone for the dodo! The Queen ordered for the British dodo to be banned, and the last dodo to be spared by the Queen! ”
”Mad Reversal …” ”The French and the Russian envoys challenged the Chinese, but were ruthlessly crushed. Let's see how the Eastern Sophistry Grandmaster is going to reverse the situation …”
Crazy! The entire City of London had gone mad, the windows along the street were pushed open, and the sleepy citizens shouted loudly, ”Give me one serving! Leave a copy for me... God, we were just watching the show, but who would've thought so much inside information would happen! ”
All the doors were opened at the same time, and the newsboys who were carrying two bags full of newspapers were instantly surrounded.
There were so many monks and so few newspapers that they were not even worth a penny. A penny newspaper had actually been sold to a group of anxious readers for three pennies. The little newsboy was laughing so hard that his back bared.
It had to be said that the headlines caused by these golden pennies were really shocking. Normally, every piece of news could become a hot topic and ferment for months. Today, however, a series of more than ten explosive news filled the headlines of all the media outlets.
