Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon

Chapter 6: Published in "Oriental Daily"

   "Sir, did you come to "Ming Pao" to contribute?" Just out of the Ming Pao building, a four-eyed frog came up and asked.

   "Are you?" Li Zhiwen asked, frowning.

   "Hello, sir, this is Liu He from the editorial department of Oriental Daily, can I see your manuscript?" Liu He asked nervously.

   Li Zhiwen wanted to go to the "Oriental Daily" too, let him see it, and let him have someone to introduce. Then he said, "Let's go to the opposite cafe and sit down."

   Liu He quickly agreed that, in fact, Liu He was just an intern editor who just joined last year. The Ming Pao recently became popular because of the explosion of Wesley, and it has replaced the Oriental Daily as the No. 1 newspaper in Hong Kong. However, the "Oriental Daily" has not received any novels with explosive potential recently, so they sent these interns to the door of various newspapers, hoping to find novels that could be published.

   Just entering the coffee shop, Liu He couldn't wait to read. The more I read, the more I get more frightened. Isn't this the explosive novel that the editor-in-chief wants? The material is novel, and the gaudy plot in the middle is just the love of newspaper readers. Unlike Ming Pao, the gaudy plot of "Xun Qin Ji" is nothing compared to the Fengyue edition of "Oriental Daily". After all, the supplement of "Oriental Daily" has a special page for publishing pornographic stories.

   Liu He suppressed the thoughts in his heart and said to Li Zhiwen, "Sir, do you have time to visit our "Oriental Daily"?"

   Li Zhiwen dressed as "Is that not good? I have an appointment with the editor of "Sing Tao Daily" and I will go to their newspaper in a while."

"Sir, I just read your novel. Your novel is very good. I think our editor-in-chief will sign this novel. You can go to our newspaper first. I will highly recommend your novel. It’s not too late to go to Sing Tao Daily," Liu He said hurriedly when he heard the other party was going to Sing Tao Daily. Everyone in Hong Kong knows that "Sing Tao Daily" is the enemy of "Oriental Daily". If Liu He releases "Xun Qin Ji" to "Sing Tao Daily", in case "Xun Qin Ji" explodes, the editor-in-chief of "Oriental Daily" Just dare to let Liu He get out.

   "Well, let's go to your newspaper first." Li Zhiwen said with difficulty.

   Liu He was overjoyed and said quickly, let's go to our company now, and then quickly let the waiter check out, then get up from the chair and walk outside the door.

   Li Zhiwen and the two also followed him.

   "Awen, when did you make an appointment with Sing Tao Daily?" Chen Yulian asked.

   Li Zhiwen smiled evilly, "Silly girl, don't say that, how does Oriental Daily value me."

  "Oriental Daily" was founded in 1969, and it has been 10 years since its publication. Its main readers are mainly ordinary citizens.

   In the office building of Oriental Daily, an office worker saw Liu He and said hello, "Liu He, why are you back? How is your harvest today."

   "Ma Ming, I have something to do with the editor-in-chief, he is in the office." Liu He replied.

   "Editor Wang was called to the office by Mr. Ma, you can see it when you go to Mr. Ma's office," Ma Ming said.

   Liu He greeted Ma Ming and led us to the general manager's room.

   is near the general manager's room. I don't know if Li Zhiwen's hearing is too good, or the soundproofing effect of the "Oriental Daily" office is too poor, I only heard the dialogue inside.

   "Uncle Wang, have you received any good novels recently? We were so miserably suppressed by Ming Pao."

   "I sent someone to stop by the entrances of various newspapers, and so far I haven't received very good manuscripts."

   only heard a sigh in the office without speaking.

"Boom, dong, dong," Liu He lightly buttoned the wooden door. He only heard what was said and came in. Liu He went in and said, "Mr. Ma, Editor-in-Chief, I am Liu He. I squatted downstairs in Ming Pao. The manuscript is very interesting. I will bring it here for you to read."

   President Ma and Editor-in-Chief Wang didn’t care what the person in front of him was called, but hurriedly said, “Did you bring the manuscript here?”

   Liu He replied, "The author came here with the manuscript." He said Li Zhiwen and Yulian were invited in.

   Li Zhiwen and the two walked in. Only two people were seen. One of them was in his 50s and slightly bald, and the other was sitting on the boss chair behind the desk, probably in his early 20s.

   Liu He introduced Li Zhiwen, "Sir, this is President Ma, the general manager of our newspaper, and the other is our editor-in-chief Wang Shi. Please show them your manuscript."

   Li Zhiwen heard what Liu He said, so he took out the manuscript of "Xun Qin Ji" and handed it to Mr. Ma.

   President Ma picked up the manuscript and looked at it. After a while, he handed the finished manuscript to Editor-in-Chief Wang. The plot of the opening set made him very uncomfortable and a bit too mentally retarded. He even wanted to pass the book, but he read a little bit down and turned to the Warring States period, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

   Because as far as Hong Kong is concerned, there is no market for urban literary. Nowadays, the most popular ones are martial arts writings, or martial arts writings in foreign clothing.

   Ma Chengkun and Wang Shi looked at each other, Ma Chengkun nodded slightly.

   Wang Shi asked, "I don't know how the two are called?"

   Li Zhiwen arrives: "Editor Wang is polite, my name is Li Zhiwen, this is my girlfriend Chen Yulian."

   Chen Yulian heard Li Zhiwen's relationship with herself publicly in front of outsiders, and her heart was as sweet as honey.

  Wang Shi has already seen that "Looking for the Qin" is the work of Li Zhiwen. This gaudy plot was not written by a big beauty like Chen Yulian. So he asked straightforwardly: "Mr. Li is willing to serialize the novel in the "Oriental Daily"?"

   Li Zhiwen said, "I don't know what the cost of the manuscript is?"

   Wang Shi said: "How about eighty thousand words?"

   Li Zhiwen smiled and replied: "Too low, right? The price given to me by the editor-in-chief Xu of Ming Pao is all 80 words. If they are all the same, why don't I publish it in Ming Pao."

   Wang Shi was surprised, "Is this true?"

   Li Zhiwen said: "It's like a fake replacement."

   At this time, Ma Chengkun said, "Then a thousand words and one hundred."

   Li Zhiwen asked in a roundabout way: "How did I hear that Ni Kuang's novel was five hundred yuan per thousand characters?"

"Haha, this remuneration can't be counted." Wang Shi smiled, "It was Huang Yulang's remuneration for the new magazine half a year ago in order to build momentum for the new magazine, watching Ni Kuang's fame. You must know Ni Kuang. The manuscript fee in Ming Pao is 180 yuan per thousand characters."

  Wang Shi was afraid that Li Zhiwen would not understand, so he introduced him the remuneration of Hong Kong newspaper articles, which was different from what Li Zhiwen asked in private.

After hearing this, Li Zhiwen instantly remembered what he said while chatting with Pan Yuesheng. He was a bit unnatural, and was silent for a while. He stopped wrangling with Wang Shi, but said to Ma Chengkun, who was able to make a decision on the spot: "Mr. Ma, do you think "Xun Qin Ji" "Is it worth a thousand words and a hundred?"

   Ma Chengkun asked: "What is Mr. Li going to do?"

   "Mr. Ma, UU read www.uukānshu.com like this, the first seven days of "Looking for the Qin" manuscript fee we calculated based on a thousand words. A week later, how much manuscript fee, we will then look at the market response." Li Zhiwen said.

   Before Ma Chengkun could speak, Wang Shi hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, this is not in compliance with the rules..."

"Editor-in-chief Wang, you also know how many copies of Ming Pao’s first issue are sold now. One is going down and the other is going to be good. Dongfang Daily hasn't had a good time lately. Otherwise, you wouldn’t send people to other newspapers and periodicals. "There is no good work, why not try mine?" Li Zhiwen said.

   "Mr. Li, if this opening is opened, this will cause an uproar." Wang Shi continued.

   Li Zhiwen said: "If you don't tell, I won't tell, who will know. Since you don't want to, then I have to say goodbye first. I have an appointment with Sing Tao Daily. It was already late."

   Liu He's face was anxious, and Wang Shi wanted to say something more, Ma Chengkun decided, "Just do what Mr. Li said."

Both Ma Chengkun and Wang Shi know that Dongfang Daily, which has been suppressed by Ming Pao, cannot hold its head up. If the manuscript is accepted by Sing Tao Daily, Dongfang Daily will face double pressure. After all, "Xun Qin Ji" There is a possibility of fire.

   Li Zhiwen put his right hand in the depths and said, "Happy cooperation."

   Ma Chengkun also stood up and held Li Zhiwen's hand and said, "Happy cooperation."

   At exactly this time, Liu He interrupted, "What pen name does Mr. Li take?"

   "Can the pig on the tuyere work" Li Zhiwen said.

   The four people in the room looked at Li Zhiwen with different expressions, and finally Wang Shi said, "Then use this."

   Li Zhiwen said quickly: "No, let's use my name."
