At five o'clock, the newspaper distributors of Golden Port City had already gathered at the designated spot for newspaper distribution.
In this era, there are three main avenues for newspaper sales —
1. Fixed address subscriptions: Whether for households or companies, payments are made periodically to the newspaper's publishing house, and a delivery person then delivers the newspaper daily to designated mailboxes or mail slots, like the company's front desk.
2. Sales by newsstands: Newsstands will adjust based on the previous day's sales, typically ordering 125% of yesterday's volume.
This means if ten copies were sold on the first day, the newsstand would likely order twelve or thirteen copies the next day, which involves some other calculations.
3. Distribution by newspaper distributors: Newspaper distributors are groups in various areas that live by the mobile retailing of newspapers (see related descriptions in the Black Stone Password).
