C2787 Outside the Sea Wars! (1/2)

In the industrial era, goods were produced at an unimaginable speed, especially some products with strong timeliness, such as newspapers and newspapers, which had long since adapted to the cruel competition in the market.

From writing, typesetting, printing, distribution... This industrial chain had matured a long time ago, and the reason why it matured so quickly was very simple. It was only because of the windfall.

In the end of the nineteenth century, the status of newspapers were almost equivalent to the top websites and search engines in the world in the 21st century. In this era, newspapers had already controlled the way people accepted information, and even influenced people's judgement.

How could such an industry not make money? In this era, almost all of the newspaper giants were on the global wealth ranking list!

Such a lucrative industry would naturally lead to heavy investment by investors. Moreover, with more capital and manpower invested, the efficiency of the industry would naturally increase.

An hour and a half after the Duke of Newcastle sent the telegram to the Empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its people, a large number of people had already gathered on the streets of London.

Newspapers with double pay ran around the streets one by one, waving their accounts like war flags!

”Extra!” Outside of the account number! ”Outside of the important account!”

”The French united fleet engaged in a sea war against the Chinese and Prussian warships in the Eastern Frisian Islands... War lasted 12 hours... The battle was intense …

These newspaper boys clearly knew about marketing psychology. They shouted for a long time, but still didn't say what the results were. Moreover, the sales of these numbers were different from the daily sales of newspapers.

Usually, when the newspapers were sold, they would carefully observe the gentlemen on the street and try their best to deliver them to them, begging them to buy them.

However, the numbers were different. Here was an eye-catching piece of news. It was about to change from the old sales strategy to a major reversal.

The newsboy was running up and down the street, shouting but not stopping. If you couldn't control yourself, you'd better chase after him and buy some food.

Needless to say, the more they sold like this, the more the normally arrogant gentlemen felt that they were getting shabbier. As soon as they saw the newspaper boy running past them, they lowered their stature and started chasing after him.

”Wait a moment …” Give me one... ”How much is it, how much is it …”

”A Mr. Pence... Don't think that it's too expensive, you have bought a first-hand account, so you will know about the results sooner than others! ”

”Here …” A shiny coin flew into the newsboy's hand. The ink had not dried yet and fell into the reader's hands.

”The Great Sea War in Eastern Frisia... The Zhiyuan Warship fought alone... Piercing through the formation of the French United Fleet... Bomb the Spic Island? ”

”My God! ”Is there even a map here?”

The illustrator from the Thames used the newspaper to complete the drawing of the Great Sea War just by relying on his imagination, which of course contained a lot of his own imagination.

On the black ink print, the Golden Dragon at the head of the Zhiyuan Warship had been enlarged by several times. The entire Iron-armored Ship was like a gigantic beast from the deep seas as it pierced through the ocean waves.

On the other hand, the France's battleship was obviously smaller, the deck was filled with the ugly and fearful expressions of the French sailors!

The cannons were bombing and the French army was in a complete mess!

From the simple drawing, one could tell that the people of English and French were indeed not on good terms. For the past hundred years, English and French had always been a direct competitor, battling with many different countries.

Due to the existence of direct competition, the people had a very serious feeling of mutual rejection, ridicule and even hostility!

If the relationship between the citizens of the English and French and his country wanted to become friendly, then it would have to wait until the rise of the Germany's second empire! And it is only after another group of British threats has emerged that the French may have a much better image.

In addition, Xiao Letian's continuous promotion of culture was also of great use. With the continuous reporting of the East for more than a year, as well as the goodwill of Xiao Letian's envoys in London, the reputation of the Chinese people in London was extremely good.

Under these circumstances, the public opinion in London was a little biased towards the Chinese.
