Chapter 214 'The World Window'
Subtitle of this chapter: What I want is not your money but yours...
"Your Majesty Queen, you are not the Queen Mary who has been on the guillotine. How can you be so selfish?"
Our Master Yuan is very good at dealing with the literary and artistic young woman. He said this to the beginning. Miss Brown opened her beautiful eyes widened in surprise and said in a voice: "Master Fool, why am I selfish?"
"You only think about the reading tastes of your literary youth, but ignore the spiritual needs of the working people. Why isn't this selfish?" Yuan Yan suddenly said earnestly, "His Majesty Queen, since you are already a member of our SCP Foundation, you should always put the welfare of the people of the world first..."
"The people, only the people, are the driving force for creating world history!"
“Pickup.”
"I didn't hear it."
Although he was disturbed by Master Ball, his words still worked. Helen said in tears: "Yes, yes, sorry, Lord Fool, I was wrong."
He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Is that right? We are communist... Well, the ideas of the Arcana and the work of our SCP Foundation will also be contaminated with dust, and should also be cleaned and washed. The running water will not rot, and the door shaft will not cause worms..."
"Pickup!"
"I still didn't hear it."
Despite this, he turned around and said, "Your Excellency Magician and Your Excellency Justice, you should also pay attention. Criticism and self-criticism are the two magic weapons of our SCP Foundation."
The two great Arcana nodded together and said, "We understand!"
Our Master Yuan is really worthy of being the successor of the communist cause. He is now clearly the leader of a cult, but he just feels like a branch secretary.
Although Miss Brown realized her mistake, she still couldn't change her mind for a while. So she said aggrievedly: "Master Fool, I know I was wrong. But I still feel a little reluctant to "Women of the World", after all, it's like my child..."
"Okay." Yuan Yan suddenly sighed in her heart. The awareness of the American bourgeois lady was too low. In fact, in addition to Helen's awareness, she also had some Arcana who did not take the SCP Foundation too seriously, thinking that it was just an interest group organized by Master Yuan on a whim.
From the fun-loving interest group to the real evil organization, does this certainly require a process?
He pondered for a moment and said, "It's OK, let's start a book of your child's children... Grandson magazine. This magazine is called..."
""Windows of the World"."
He looked at the "His Majesty Queen" who is only in his early twenties, and felt that this little girl was not very reliable. It is better to...
"Why not do this. Your Majesty Queen, go find your father and ask him to ask his colleagues in the publishing industry for this man named DeWhit Wallace..."
Dewittwallace is the founder of Reader's Digest. This man was born in 1889 and is now 31 years old. He was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and later went to the University of California, Berkeley to study at university. When he graduated, he happened to catch up with the World War and joined the US military.
When he was in Brazil, he worked as a book salesman for a while and was not a layman in the publishing industry. During the First World War, Mr. Wallace was bravely injured. When he was recovering from the rear hospital, he was bored and read a large number of magazines. At the same time, he also found that the soldiers around him needed a simple and easy-to-understand reading.
This kind of reading material does not require gorgeous rhetoric or profound opinions, but it is just used to kill time. In addition, this form of magazine does not require high manuscripts and editors. As long as you excerpt from wonderful articles in magazines and newspapers, you can make a copy of it and make a slight change of appearance and you can accumulate it into a journal.
So he had the idea of starting a digs magazine. Coincidentally, at this point in time, Mr. Wallace was indeed selling his ideas to major publishers in New York.
Of course, on the original timeline, he did not meet the Bole who knew the wise and keen eyes. So he had to work with his wife and friends to jointly run this world-renowned magazine in 1922.
At that time, their startup funds were only 5,000 US dollars, their office was their own home, and the printing factory was the basement of an illegal hotel. Several of them were editors, salesmen, and printers. However, by 1938, its circulation reached one million copies, and it became one of the best-selling magazines in the world.
The people from the SCP Foundation now have much more resources than him.
Our Master Yuan can now make a bold prediction: in terms of sales, the "Qima Magazine" by Aiyi, may have a great advantage in serializing its own "Song of Ice and Fire", but it will be further and further away by "Window of the World".
"His Majesty Queen, go and talk to Mr. Wallace with His Majesty. I heard that he is also interested in establishing such a magazine. Since you are not very interested in this, please find him to be the editor-in-chief of "Window of the World"..."
"As for how you want to cooperate with him, I will not interfere. "Women of the World" belongs to you and John after all. But you can't let go completely. This magazine must be controlled by our SCP Foundation!"
Yes, Reader's Digest... Well, "Window of the World" is definitely one of the best-selling magazines in the world in the future. However, Master Yuan's first consideration is not money.
Of course, small money is not too much. Moreover, his 18-point charm can only be controlled for a while but not for a lifetime. Only when those Arcana taste the sweetness of fame and fortune can they follow themselves.
For Lord Fool, this popular magazine, to be precise, the various popular magazines he will "found" are an important part of his grand plan that has not yet been formed!
Not to mention the subtle influence of "Window of the World" on this generation of Americans and people all over the world. Just imagine that during World War II, he could use the excellent excuse to provide spiritual food for war heroes to allow the Allies... Maybe the frontline officers and soldiers on both sides each had a magazine similar to "Window of the World", and of course there were also "Playboy" and "The Loft".
If this idea comes true, then wouldn't it be...
"Your Majesty Queen, do you understand?"
"My fool, I understand. But..."
Helen changed into a delicate voice and said, "Master Fool, you promised to help me realize my ideal. You won't lie to me, are you?"
"Your ideal...haha." Yuan Yan suddenly smiled, "His Majesty Queen, aren't you just a famous writer? Why, haven't you started writing the "Titanic" trilogy yet?"
Miss Brown said embarrassedly: "I wrote a little, but I can't write the 'Mary Sue feeling' you said."
"Hey, this is because you are too shameless... Well, you can't let it go."

Nowadays, some people can't stand others' good. But even such broken books with extremely strange views, positive themes, happy content, and terrible book, so care... Murong doesn't know what to say.
Murong has made some modifications, of course it is just the "you know" part and has no impact on the plot.
