"Yanhua University’s Newspaper," has completely caught fire!

The campus newspaper of Yanhua University was hardly famous, its influence restricted to within Yanhua University itself. It might even be said that it didn’t have much influence on campus, as most articles were contributed by undergraduate students, with the rest being news related to the school.

Therefore, sales of "Yanhua University’s Newspaper" were limited to the university and its surrounding areas.

Normally, only students would read the newspaper to find out if anything significant had happened at the school, treating it purely as a ’campus and local gossip magazine.’ As for the academic content published, those with higher standards simply looked down on it, while those with lower standards naturally had no interest in it.

This edition of "Yanhua University’s Newspaper" initially spread only among students, but in less than two hours, the situation changed.

The newspaper, sold out.

Students who bought the newspaper and discovered that it featured Zhao Yi’s paper immediately spread the word. There was no need for deliberate promotion, for the publication of Photon Anti-gravity Technology quickly topped the trending topics online, even swiftly climbing to the number one spot.

"This time is incredible!"

"So it turns out that anti-gravity devices rely on photons, on light!"

"When there’s light, there’s anti-gravity. It’s possible for us to use sunlight to escape gravity and ascend into space directly."

"This isn’t fantasy, it has already been realized."

"The most important part is, God Zhao actually published such critical theory in Yanhua University’s campus newspaper..."

"By the way, what exactly is Yanhua University’s campus newspaper?"

"..."

As "Yanhua University’s Newspaper" hit the trending searches online, it immediately faced a frenzy of outsiders attempting to snatch it up, with many people flooding into the university, hoping to purchase Yanhua University’s campus newspaper.

Of course, most people were unable to get a copy, and only those fortunate enough managed to obtain one from students, for the influx of people at the university became so overwhelming that the university gates had to be barricaded, only allowing entrance to those with student IDs, confirming their identity as university students.

In actuality, many indeed purchased the newspaper, though very few really studied its contents; only some professional mathematicians, including interested mathematics students and professors, wished to get their hands on a copy to explore its contents.

They wanted to know what kind of mathematics could support the Photon Anti-gravity Theory.

This sort of top-tier mathematical content is rarely encountered in ordinary life.

Now that you could directly purchase a magazine and see it, curiosity would also drive people to take a look.

Moreover, some people thought that with Photon Anti-gravity having a world-changing impact and being deemed by international commentary as the key to ignite a ’technological explosion,’ the first edition of the Photon Anti-gravity Theory would undoubtedly have significant collectible value.

If you could secure an original copy for your collection, not counting how much it might be worth in a few years, but keeping it as a family heirloom for future generations, perhaps after a hundred years, it could become incredibly valuable, right?

This genuinely holds investment value!

"Yanhua University’s Newspaper" was hyped up in this manner, but no matter how many people wanted a copy, it didn’t change the fact that the newspaper was incredibly scarce.

In fact, each edition of "Yanhua University’s Newspaper" had only a few hundred copies printed for its first run.

The few teachers in charge had anticipated the demand and had visited the cooperating factory, asking to print some extra copies in advance, but as the partner was just a small factory, production capacity was very limited, and the first run resulted in only a little over a thousand copies.

Under normal circumstances, this would have been more than enough, but under the ’buying frenzy,’ a little over a thousand copies couldn’t even make a splash, making it difficult to find a single newspaper on campus at Yanhua University.

Many copies were simply ’collected’ by people.

Wei Shiqing was one such case.

As a pillar-level professor of the School of Life Sciences, he couldn’t even secure a newspaper for himself and even considered ’tricking’ Li Renzhe out of his copy. freёwebnovel.com

When even professors at the school were unable to purchase it, one could only imagine how hot the newspaper had become.

Beyond the popularity of the first-edition newspapers, the teachers responsible for the campus newspaper also became incredibly busy, their office phones ringing nonstop with calls from people inquiring about the newspaper.

These callers were, at the least, mathematics professors, who genuinely wanted to delve into the contents of the newspaper.

The teachers could only respond with a wry smile, "We’re currently speeding up printing, and the new magazines will be out tomorrow."

At the same time, they also received calls from overseas, some asking about producing an English version, and some from publishing houses, hoping to secure the international publication rights for this edition of the newspaper.

That needed to be well negotiated.

The teachers sought guidance from higher-ups and, in line with Zhao Yi’s ’requirements,’ opened by setting the sale price at one thousand dollars, securing a fifty percent profit share. In other words, for every copy sold overseas, the school would take five hundred dollars in profits.

Neither party even considered the issue of international publication numbers.

Since it involved the publication of Photon Anti-gravity Technology, there were no issues with overseas publishing; with an application, immediate ’urgent approval’ was granted.

Previously, the anti-gravity device had caused quite a stir, with almost everyone aware that the release of the Photon Anti-gravity Theory was one of the agreed-upon outcomes. What nobody expected was that Zhao Yi decided to publish the theory in the campus newspaper.

This was completely unexpected!

After finalizing negotiations with the overseas publishers, their representatives quickly arrived to sign the authorization agreement, and also paid an upfront deposit of fifty thousand dollars. Within a mere three days, the overseas official version priced at one thousand dollars was already being distributed.
