So, it didn't matter whether the merchants paid.
It didn't matter whether the customers paid, either.
What mattered was who held the hundreds of thousands in transaction volume.

This was about making the party who needed the service pay for it.

Lu Yuan's newspaper operated on the same logic.
It didn't matter whether the readers paid.
It didn't matter if someone wanted to advertise in the paper, or how much they paid.
In fact, Lu Yuan planned not to run ads for anyone except for his own products.
Anyone selling shoes or pants could take a hike.
What was important was this!
As reading the newspaper became more and more a part of the common people's daily lives...
...someone would definitely be willing to pay for this service.
And they would pay big.
