Chapter 40, Xijing Bookstall
These days, Jiang Jun stayed in the house to write manuscripts, wrote "Kunlun" and voted for Lantian Magazine, and wrote "Heroes" and voted for Taolin Magazine.
Although he now nominally has a broken arm, he is hiding in the house and cannot be seen by outsiders.
After a few days, the temperature rose, the ice and snow gradually melted, and it was the day of school again, and Jin Xiaoan also returned to the peach forest.
At this time, the price of both sides is 2 yuan for a thousand words, 3 yuan for a thousand words, plus the length of the journal is wide, and the manuscript fee for two months is more than 1,000 yuan.
When Jiang Jun put a small stack of large tickets in front of Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, the two of them were surprised and couldn't close their mouths, Jiang's father said: "Didn't you say four hundred in two months, how come it is more than one thousand in two months." ”
Jiang Jun said: "People's magazines also give a salary increase." ”
Jiang's mother said: "My good man, a few days ago, when you gave one hundred and one hundred, I saved some money, and Jinshan lost us five hundred that day, plus your more than one thousand, it was almost two thousand." Building a brick house isn't far off. ”
Jiang Jun took out half of it and said, "According to what I said before, this money will be given to you." ”
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang didn't dare to take it, and Father Jiang finally said: "With so much money at home, we don't worry, it's better for you to keep it, since you have the ability to earn it, you must also have the ability to keep it." Your mother and I just don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and we don't know how to spend the rest of the money. ”
Jiang Jun said: "Then I'll take it, I will definitely build a brick house for our family this year, and I will build a big one." ”
After saying that, Jiang Jun returned to the house.
If it was in the original, Jiang Jun would already be very content, and live a small life. But now I feel that the speed of making money is still faster.
Since you can make so much money by investing in two magazines, what about investing in three or four?
It is a violation to submit more than one draft, and it is normal to submit multiple manuscripts. It's just that the vast majority of people don't have the ability to write more than one manuscript in terms of novels.
But if you have this ability, what else can you keep?
So, I made up my mind to "write" a few more martial arts novels and submit them to different magazines.
However, the society at that time was not as developed as the Internet is now, and the means of obtaining information at that time were relatively closed. If you want to submit to a magazine, you must first have that magazine on hand. In this way, you will know the address of the submission.
In this village, there is no magazine shop at all. In this case, if you want to know which magazines have martial arts submission information, you must get a bigger city.
Do you want to go to Lantian or Taolin? After thinking about it, I simply went directly to Xijing to have a look.
Jiang Jun said to Jiang's father and Jiang's mother: "Daddy, I'll go out for a few days, take a look outside, and break into the world." You don't have to worry about it, if there is anything I will call Uncle Liu's house. ”
If this was in the original, Jiang's father would definitely say something like "if you have money, you will go out to waste", but since Jiang Jun became the breadwinner of the family, the family's status has increased dramatically, as if everything is the right thing.
Father Jiang immediately said with a smile: "Go outside and take a look, okay, after reading it, you will definitely be able to write more stories and make more money." ”
Jiang Mu smiled: "Xiaojun's ability, I can rest assured wherever I go." Then he said, "Can you do it with this hand?" ”
Jiang Jun raised his hand tied with plaster and said, "It's been done a long time ago, and I'll tear it down when I come back." ”
I took a backpack, packed my luggage, and immediately set off without staying long.
First arrived at Lantian County, Lantian County is a county under the jurisdiction of Xijing City, the two are not far apart, and after arriving at Lantian County, I took a bus to Xijing City.
Some passengers on the bus saw that he had a plaster cast tied to his arm, and kindly gave him up his seat and helped him sit down, so that he could see the pleasure of being treated specially.
When he arrived in Xijing City, it was already dark, and Jiang Jun found a hotel to live in.
The next day, under inquiry, I came to a bookstall in Xijing City. Many booksellers sell books there freely.
As soon as I entered, I saw a pile of books placed there, and the big characters that caught my eye on the cover were:
"Jin Yong's new book: Heroic style. ”
Jiang Jun was shocked, he originally thought that this parallel world was no different from his original one, could it be that Jin Lao in this world still has new works?
Take a look at "The Heroic Style", although in terms of writing, he is also a writer with acceptable skills, but compared with Jin Yong's works, it is really far away.
Jiang Jun pursed his lips and said, "This is not Jin Lao's work. ”
The bookseller said, "Jin Yong's new book, buy a copy." It just so happened that your hand was still injured, so you were lying at home, recuperating while reading Jin Yong's new book, how beautiful it was. ”
At this time, a man suddenly came over, holding the book in his hand, and shouted: "I just bought it, and when I go back, I will know that I have been fooled, you are obviously Jin Yongxin, and you use this kind of word game to fool people!"
The bookseller said, "Don't be so grumpy, young man. I said that I am selling Jin Yong's book, obviously it is Jin Yong's new book, you didn't see it clearly, who is to blame?"
The man said, "Okay, I'll admit it, I won't buy it from you next time!"
As soon as Jiang Jun heard that it was a play on words, he lost interest in an instant, turned his head and left.
Walking inside a little, I saw three big characters "Heroes".
The bookseller who sold the Heroes' Chronicles shouted: "Jin Yong's pen and Gu Long have passed away, and there are only Heroes' Chronicles in the rivers and lakes!" "Heroes' Chronicles" is now serialized in Taolin Magazine, and here there are bound copies of all the magazines serialized with Heroes' Chronicles! Come and buy it!"
Jiang Jun was taken aback when he heard "Jin Yong's pen and ancient dragon passed away, and there are only heroes in the rivers and lakes": It seems that this book appeared a few years in advance, and the smooth passage made up is still the same.
The one who sold "Jin Yongxin" was unhappy, and said: "Hey, the one who sells "Heroes", can you not say that this is smooth, everyone knows that Jin Yong has sealed the pen, how can I make money here?"
The bookseller who sold "Heroes" smiled slyly and said, "Didn't you just say it, what you are selling is not Jin Yongxin, but Jin Yong's new book." As long as I don't say Jin Yong's new pen, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it. ”
When Jin Yongxin heard this, he had no words, who made him unreasonable. Muttered: "Wait a day, I'll find the one who sells 'Jin Yongju' and the one who sells 'Quan Yong' to deal with you......"
At this time, a bookseller next to him stood up and said: "I'm here to ask you for an explanation for our "Lantian Magazine", what is the meaning of 'only heroes in the rivers and lakes', and the time when our "Kunlun" came out was a few months earlier than your heroes. ”
The bookseller who sells "Heroes", naturally from Taolin Magazine, heard this and said: "Yo, it's really not that the enemies don't get together, and they said that they would 'kill' in Xijing City, and you really came." ”
The cooperative bookseller of Lantian Magazine said: "Of course, you don't have to blow it, just see where we sell more today!"
"Just look at it......"
Jiang Jun was really excited and eye-opening when he heard so many people arguing around, it turned out that he had also heard from Chen Qing about the fierce battle between the two magazines, and when he saw it in person today, he realized how fierce it was, and he also gave himself the pleasure of being a "man of the hour".
