Chapter 1218: Admit Defeat

With The Lily Times taking the lead, the distribution of ‘The Great Qi Children’s Journal’, ‘The Great Qi Sinology Journal’ and ‘The Great Qi Geographical Journal’ went very smoothly. Little Treasure and Little Bear, who were far away in the north, sent congratulatory letters in advance. Mu Yangling was in high spirits, as were the staff at the newspaper office. Seeing that there was no trouble, the ministers in the court were also somewhat happy.

The commoners were also happy to watch the commotion, but Little An and the others weren’t feeling as cheerful.

When they took their money to the newspaper office to place orders, they were told that they were out of stock. Because The Lily Times printed more copies after the initial print run sold out, too much paper had been used up, so many orders had been compressed. Those who came late like them simply had their orders refused.

The three children were dumbfounded. Wouldn’t they be defeated without a fight then?

Tiger Head shouted, “That’s not fair!”

Little An and Little Lion nodded solemnly. Without printing paper, how could their sales compare to The Lily Times?

Seeing that the eyes of the young masters were red, the guard behind them suggested, “Why don’t we transfer paper from other places and get the staff at the newspaper office to work overtime to print more copies?”

Little An shook his head slowly and said, “It’s useless. The paper used to print newspapers is a specialized type of paper that’s different from ordinary paper. Even if there’s paper available in other paper factories, they won’t be able to use it.”
