Chapter 14: 2 yuan for 1,000 words, and the monthly income increases to 180 yuan
The next day, according to the agreement, Chen Qing went to Lantian Magazine to find Editor-in-Chief Sun and listen to her evaluation of the first volume of "Kunlun".
Editor-in-chief Sun said excitedly: "Xiao Chen, this first volume feels even more ambitious and fascinating than the prequel. I think you can approve the increase in length and the increase in the price you said earlier. The length of each serialization of this work will increase by 50%, and at the same time increase to 2 yuan per thousand words. ”
When Chen Qing heard this, good guy, the length of the article has increased by half, and the remuneration has doubled. That's a triple of your income. It seems that the magazine really values this work, and of course, this work must have created more for the magazine.
The price was a bit of a shock to her, and according to that, it used to be 60 per month, but now it has tripled, and the monthly income can reach 180. My dad has such a high education, his position is still the principal, and the state only gives him a monthly allowance of more than 100 yuan.
This kid has suddenly become a high-income group.
"But ......," Editor-in-Chief Sun said suddenly.
"But what?" Chen Qing wondered.
Editor-in-Chief Sun smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that you have to let him come over, it's not okay to always be like this', after all, we still have to cooperate for a long time in the future, how can we never see people's faces." ”
Chen Qing turned his mind and replied, "Ah, it's not that he won't come, it's just that his family's economic situation is not very good, and it may be troublesome to come once." ”
Editor-in-chief Sun said: "So that's the case, it doesn't matter, I can give 20 yuan for the journey, you send it to him, let him come over, and I will talk to him face to face." ”
As he spoke, he took 20 yuan from the drawer on the side and handed it to Chen Qing. said: "This should be enough, it can be regarded as the magazine's support for this poor young man who loves literature, and he doesn't need to pay him back." ”
Chen Qing saw that Editor-in-Chief Sun was so good, and he was so gracious that he had to take the money and said, "Then I will thank you for him first, and I will definitely transfer the money and this matter." ”
After Chen Qing went back, he sent the money over, and at the same time wrote a letter and sent it over.
After that, Jiang Jun received a payment of 20 yuan from the village post office, as well as a letter.
When I opened it, the letter read:
"Jiang Jun, your new manuscripts have arrived, and the editor-in-chief has a high opinion of these new manuscripts, saying that he will give you a 50% increase in length and raise your manuscript fee to 2 yuan per thousand words. But there is a condition, I want you to meet her, so if you have time, come to the school to find me, and I will take you there. Don't be too late. Chen Qing. ”
After seeing it, Jiang Jun was really overjoyed, and as soon as his salary rose, it tripled.
At that time, the apprentice workers were paid 18 yuan and 5 cents a month, and after half a year, they were transferred to the first level of work for 25 yuan, and after a year, they were promoted to the second level of work for 50 yuan, and they were promoted to the third level for two years and more than 80 yuan, and they were promoted to the fourth level for three years and 120 yuan.
And his 180 yuan is already equivalent to an experienced and skilled senior technician. What's more, his writing is much easier than that of a worker.
Before 60 yuan a month, it just means that he is a person with income. And this time the salary rise, it obviously means that I have entered the high-income group.
After listening to Chen Qing's narration of "Come to the school to find me, I'll take you there", I also felt a little interesting. This little girl, just don't give herself an address, she always has to go through her hand.
At first, I didn't know where the door of Lantian's magazine office was opening, but it had just crossed into the village, and there was no communication equipment, so I felt endless despair wherever I looked from the village.
But later, when he went to the county seat more times, he felt that the vision in his mind increased, and even without Chen Qing, he should be able to gradually find the address of the magazine.
But even so, he was unwilling to take the initiative to ask for change, which was equivalent to satisfying Chen Qing's pride.
Jiang Jun went to Lantian County, and first went to find Chen Qing during his lunch break, and Chen Qing is now half a celebrity in Lantian Middle School.
Many people watched them meet, and they all talked behind their backs:
"Who's that boy?" (ordinary onlookers)
"Pretty handsome. (Ordinary female onlookers)
"Is Chen Qing's boyfriend?" (gossip-loving onlookers)
"What's so handsome. (The boy who likes Chen Qing)
"They're a good match. (Kind crowd of onlookers)
"Chen Qing is really wild, he used to wear that kind of immodest shoes, and now he is hooking up with social youth. (jealous of her girl)
"I see that Liang Wenjing in "Kunlun Prequel" is getting more and more powerful, not like anything to hang up, Chen Qing's bet is probably lost, and he still has the heart to play, walking barefoot in the playground in a few days, it will be miserable. (Someone who has a good relationship with Chen Qing.) )
Jiang Jun looked at her changing into cotton shoes on her feet, and said with a smile: "It's okay, not stupid, I thought I was still wearing that pair." ”
Chen Qing smiled: "Cut, I'm so stupid." But I really like those shoes, so I wore them for an extra month. Actually, these cotton shoes are also very good. ”
Jiang Jun said: "You bet with others, after you win, will they lose a radio to you?"
Chen Qing smiled: "Not only that, but let her record a sentence in the tape recorder." ”
Jiang Junqi said: "What words?"
Chen Qing said with a smile: "Boss Chen is the most beautiful, I, Zhang Yan, am willing to give this radio to Boss Chen." ”
Hearing her say this, Jiang Jun laughed and said, "It's really bad." ”
"Whoever asked her to take the initiative to find fault with me, she must fight back. Fortunately, this time I will definitely win and be undefeated, let's go to the magazine. ”
"Good. ”
Chen Qing took Jiang Jun into Lantian Magazine, Jiang Jun saw that the building of the magazine was not tall, but it also had a clean and tidy bookish atmosphere.
Under the leadership of Chen Qing, I met with Editor-in-Chief Sun.
Editor-in-Chief Sun smiled: "Yo, this is?"
Jiang Jun took the initiative to introduce: "Hello, I'm Jiang Jun. It is the author who submitted "The Prequel of Kunlun" to your magazine. ”
Editor-in-chief Sun said with a smile: "Judging from his words and deeds, he is very extraordinary, no wonder he has a talent." I would like to thank you for the fact that your book "The Prequel to Kunlun" has been well received by readers, and as a result, the magazine's sales have increased. It just so happens that you are going to serialize "Kunlun" here, and I can't treat you badly, so the length has increased by 50%, and the manuscript fee has increased to 2 yuan. ”
"But that means you're going to have to submit 50% more manuscripts, so I wonder if you'll be able to keep up?"
When Jiang Jun heard this, he was secretly amused in his heart, this "Kunlun" has a total of 1 million words, and he has more than 30,000 words a day, and he can finish it all in a month. The length of the magazine is all its own novels, and it is impossible for me to keep up.
