Kang Honghui was also a veteran who had been in society for many years. Naturally, he felt the change in Su An's attitude and quickly explained.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Su, I took advantage of you just now. Those two were really annoying. They kept clinging to me, and I couldn't ask them to leave."

Sue An put on a fake smile, "Oh, really."

Kang Honghui also knew that his behavior just now was very ungentlemanly, so he told Su An about his relationship with Jiang Qionggui and Liu Apo.

"The lady's name is Jiang Qionggui and the man's name is Liu Abo"

"The three of us grew up together. Jiang Qionggui and I developed feelings for each other and almost got together. Later, my father was implicated by his friends and went to the farm, and I followed him. Jiang Qionggui blamed me and got together with my good brother."

"When I came back, they were already married. But she came to see me several times, and my brother Liu A-po found out. The friendship between the three of us, who had been childhood sweethearts, became a little weird. I knew A-po was bothered by the fact that Qiong Gui and I had a past, and I also knew that Qiong Gui was unwilling to give up, so I didn't want to have anything to do with them. But every time they saw me, they stuck to me like a dog-skin plaster..."

Seeing that Su An was not interested, Kang Honghui changed the subject, "Anyway, I was rude. I know your relationship with Boss Zuo, so I took advantage of your strength to drag you in."

"By the way, didn't you say you had something to ask me?"

When it comes to business, the smile on Su An's face becomes more sincere. She doesn't beat around the bush and goes straight to the point. "Yes, as you know, I'm currently studying at Jinan University, majoring in journalism. I have some ideas that I want to discuss with you."

Su An said this and called the waiter over to bring a fruit plate.

"I want to start my own journal. You are an expert and I would like to consult you."

Kang Honghui also became serious, "You want to start a journal?"

Su An nodded.

Kang Honghui looked at Su An with a different look in his eyes, "Young people are really to be feared, hahahaha."

"It is much more troublesome to establish a journal than to register a company. my country has corresponding regulations on journal publishing management and relevant laws. If you want to establish a journal, you must first establish a journal publishing unit. It must meet a series of basic conditions, including a sponsor, supervisor, business scope, etc. approved by the General Administration of Press and Publication."

"There are also organizations required for publishing activities, and those that meet the qualifications stipulated by the state...even a fixed workplace in the same administrative district as the sponsor, and the legal representative must be a Chinese citizen who resides permanently in the country. Of course, these conditions are set to ensure that the operation of the journal and newspaper complies with the laws and regulations of the country, and to ensure the standardization of publishing activities."

"To be frank, you must comply with the country's overall planning and strategic layout. You can't go against the country, right? So you must do sufficient market research and planning in advance to ensure that your own development and positioning meet the needs of the country, and then proceed with specific qualification applications and approvals..."

Su An asked for advice patiently, and Kang Honghui was also generous in giving advice. The two chatted enthusiastically, and the previous unpleasantness had long disappeared.

Kang Honghui admired Su An's drive. As an expert himself, he was willing to lend a hand with such trivial matters. In response to Su An's questions, he answered her questions with all his heart. In the end, he even left her a phone number so that she could call him if she had any questions.

Su An was naturally grateful to the senior who was willing to help him, and this trip to Dongguan City was a wish come true.

After returning, Su An began to prepare materials and founded his own journal. At the same time, he published notices for paid articles in several Guangdong newspapers.

As a type of news media, journals and magazines are subject to strict control no matter which country they are in, unless they are distributed within their own organization, then the scope of restrictions is much smaller.

If you do not obtain a publication number and publish it privately, it will be regarded as an illegal publication.

Even with Kang Honghui's help, Su An still did not meet the qualification review requirements. After a lot of effort and with the help of Kang Honghui, Su An acquired and controlled an existing magazine that was not doing well, and finally obtained the legal operating qualifications.

The amount of money invested was several times more than I expected.

After overcoming the first difficulty, things went much more smoothly afterwards, and submissions started to arrive one after another.

Time flies and another semester has passed.

Because it was a critical moment in the establishment of the journal, Su An called home and said that she would not go back during the summer vacation.

Although Wang Xiaocui was worried, she knew that Su An was doing serious work. If she interfered too much, it might affect Su An's career. She could only remind her on the phone to take care of her health, pay attention to safety, eat on time, and call home more often when she had time.

Su An also formed his team. Two employees from the original newspaper stayed with Su An, one was Xu Guoliang, who was mainly responsible for photography, and the other was accountant Tang Jie. The two also worked part-time as typesetting and editing. Together with Chen Wende who worked and studied, and Jiang Liping who followed Su An, a team of five people was formed.

Su An took everyone on a run for more than a month, negotiating channels, looking for cooperating printing companies, visiting people, holding meetings to select manuscripts, and setting prices. Everyone was exhausted.

She was determined to create a big hit in the first episode and make "Outside" a hit.

Finally, in mid-August, the first issue of "Outside", the magazine that Su An had put all his effort into, was put on the shelves, priced at 6 cents per copy.

Because of its precise positioning, the results were very encouraging. The 5 copies published were sold out as soon as they were put on the shelves.

Among them, a short story published in the magazine, "It's Late at Night, There's a Man on the Seashore," which describes the hard struggles of young migrant workers after moving to the city, resonated with many low-level workers.

After the first issue was published, "Outside" became spiritual food for many migrant workers.

In every corner of the city, people squatting on the toilet hold "Outside", people eating hold "Outside", people lying on the bed after get off work stare at "Outside", people reading "Outside" under the dim street lights, people discuss, borrow, and then discuss again.

The number of letters and manuscripts received by the magazine also increased rapidly, and the subject matter for the second issue was soon out.

Su An did not dare to relax at all. He went through every level of review for the second issue just like the previous one. His eyes turned red after reading the letters from readers. He held meetings to discuss what was not done well in the first issue and what elements should be added to the second issue.

After investing a lot of energy, the second issue of "Outside" was published and put on the shelves, and sales soared to 12 copies.
