After eating in the morning, I took Chen Yixin to work with me in the summer.

When he entered the office, he invited Tang Congsheng in.

"President, 20,000 copies of the magazine were released last night, and all we can do now is wait for the publisher's call. Either it's a reminder call from them, or it's a return call from them. Tang Congsheng reported.

"I hope it's a reminder call. Summer smiled and said, "But don't be idle while waiting for the call, the second issue of the magazine will be launched next week, and the time is very rushed, so you can't delay." He reminded again.

"I see, President. Tang Congsheng nodded, "If it's okay, then I'll go out first." ”

After sending Don away from Shengsheng in the summer, he returned to his desk and continued to write his novels.

Now there is no one to help, and he has to write six novels by himself, and he can't slack off one a day, so it's really hard.

"Alas, I hope someone will see the ad soon and come to apply, otherwise it will really exhaust me to death. Summer muttered as she wrote.

Unexpectedly, this person really couldn't help but chatter, and before noon, someone had already come to apply.

"President, someone has come to apply for a creative assistant. Tang Congsheng walked in with a smile and said.

"Oh, so fast?!" Summer was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It seems that our advertising effect is not bad, which also shows that our "Fantasy World" is still bought by someone." ”

"Yes, yes. I had already talked to him just now, and he said that he had read Mr. Cha's recommendation in Ming Pao, so he bought a copy. After reading it, he thought it was very exciting, and he saw that we were recruiting, so he came here. Tang Congsheng smiled, "President, do you want to interview in person?"

"That's not going to be necessary. Summer waved his hand and said, "You give him this outline, let him write a 5,000-word draft, and see his level." ”

"Ah, I see. Tang Congsheng nodded and went out with this outline.

……

By the end of the afternoon, more than a dozen applicants had come to the magazine, all of whom were competing for the position of creative assistant.

In '84, the average monthly income of a Hong Kong family was only 3,000 yuan, but in the summer, a high salary of 1,500 yuan was offered.

And what the summer did to these candidates was to give them an outline, and then let them go back and write 5,000 words. If you write well, you will be hired, and if you write badly, you will be sorry.

"Editor-in-Chief Tang, hasn't the publisher called yet?" After work, Summer walked out of the office and asked Tang Congsheng.

"No, it doesn't look like it's going to be called today. Tang Congsheng shook his head and said with some regret.

Summer nodded, it seems that miracles are not so easy to create.

He originally thought that with the blessing of Jin Yongfa Gong and those wonderful and interesting novels, this "Fantasy World" should sell out as soon as it was released.

But now it seems that the reality is much harsher than imagined.

"Well, I wonder what the current sales are. Summer sighed. He is now very envious of the novels of later generations. There are not many people who read a book, whether it sells well or not, just look at the data in the background, which is like waiting for news.

"President, don't be in a hurry. In fact, a new magazine can sell more than 10,000 copies, which is already very good. Tang Congsheng saw that Xia was a little impatient, and persuaded with a smile.

"Yes, President, I don't think you need to be in a hurry. The sales of the magazine are gradually increasing by word of mouth, and our magazine is new, and it is not famous at all, so it is too difficult to sell tens of thousands of copies at once. The current sales of "Ming Pao Weekly" are all based on solid content and public reputation. Ren Wanying also persuaded.

"Well, it seems that I'm too anxious. Summer smiled, "Okay, I'll get off work today, and I'll see you tomorrow." ”

"See you tomorrow!" said the crowd.

……

Hong Kong Island, North Point, Ming Yuen Building.

Ni invited several book critics to be guests, and each of them had a copy of "Fantasy World", and while reading it, they crossed out the magazine with a pen and wrote comments on the side. After a while, the magazine was smeared by them, and it was impossible to read it at all.

"Brother Ni, this magazine is full of bad points, too many to count. Shen Xicheng smiled disdainfully as he looked at it.

He thought it would be great to write six novels at the same time in the summer. I didn't expect to buy it in the morning and take a look, and I almost laughed off his big teeth. With this level of elementary school students' composition, coupled with a messy plot, it is simply bragging to create a new era of martial arts novels.

"Don't be careless, try to pick out all the faults, and then choose the biggest fault to attack, this time you must hit his sore spot, so that he will never recover, and he will never be reborn. Ni said solemnly.

His mood now is not as relaxed as Shen Xicheng's, because he can see the value of these novels. These six works are full of creativity and imagination, and they are by no means "primary school students' compositions" as Shen Xicheng thinks.

Because of this, he put away his contempt and decided to personally inquire into the matter, not daring to let Shen Xicheng take the lead. These book critics in the study room were also personally invited by him, and they all have a certain weight in speaking in the Hong Kong literary circle. With them to help him stand on his feet and cheer, even Jin Yong has to be careful when he speaks.

When Shen Xicheng saw Ni Jing say this, he put away his frivolity and carefully provoked the problem.

……

An hour later, everyone found fault with the problem, and then criticized it one by one.

"The style of these novels is too poor, Xianxia novels have no fairy spirit, and martial arts novels have no chivalrous spirit, but they are all full of murderous and aggressive spirit, and the style is too low, which is really an inferior work. One book reviewer commented mercilessly.

"The choice of words is too crude. The writer who wrote these novels had no literary accomplishment at all, and it was like an essay for a schoolboy. It's really unbelievable that someone like this would dare to run a magazine!" another book reviewer sneered sharply.

"The plot is messed up and I don't know what to do. The appearance of monsters in the city and the appearance of immortals on alien planets is simply a waste of our traditional culture. Another book critic scolded bitterly, as if his ancestral grave had been demolished in the summer.

"I don't think that's his biggest problem. His biggest problem is ......," another book critic said.

In a short period of time, the magazine became a worthless, stinking, obscene and unscrupulous book in their mouths.

"That's a great point. Of course, we cannot allow such an unscrupulous magazine to be published again, lest it teach our readers badly. Ni said with great righteousness, "Although Jin Yong has been my old friend for decades and has a deep friendship, but at the moment of righteousness, I can only kill my relatives with righteousness." Ladies and gentlemen, do you dare to join me?"

"Of course I did. Everyone said together, "In order to protect our readers from such unscrupulous magazines, of course we are willing to stand with you, Mr. Ni." ”

"Thank you. Ni Wei smiled slightly, "Then I'll look forward to your article tomorrow." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Ni, we promise that we won't make a mistake. Everyone said with a smile.

……

After sending these book reviewers away, Shen Xicheng smiled and said to Ni Jing, "Big brother, the 200,000 yuan for carriage and horses was really not spent in vain, and I bought all these people at once." ”

Ni Jing also nodded, and then snorted coldly, "It's really chilling that these people still have the face to say 'conscience' and 'public heart'." If it weren't for the fact that they were still a little famous in the industry, I wouldn't even want to ignore these villains. ”

"That is, big brother, what kind of person are you, can you afford to look at those poor sour?! If you pluck a hair, it will be enough for those people to eat for a lifetime. Shen Xicheng said with a smile.

The name of a book reviewer sounds loud, but in fact, it is just a newspaper book review, which is not very profitable. Ni Yu took out 200,000 yuan of carriage and horse fees at once, with an average of 40,000 yuan per person, which was their annual income. At present, they are naturally only looking forward.

"But don't underestimate these people. If you are a person, you will be useful, and the key is to use it in the right place. Ni said with a smile again.

"Gao Ming, big brother is really right!" Shen Xicheng slapped his farts again, "Only a smart person like you, big brother, can make the best use of things, so that those villains can also play a big role." ”

"Alright, don't be a sycophant just yet. After Ni Hao laughed, he said to Shen Xicheng with a straight face, "You say hello to several major newspapers, so that they must all stand on my side." ”

"Yes. Shen Xicheng nodded and said, "Big brother, with these book reviewers coming out, and all the major newspapers are on our side, we should be able to stomp that stinky boy this time, right?"

"I think so. Ni Ji blinked his eyes and said, "The so-called crowd is gold, and the bones are destroyed." With so many people criticizing together, I don't believe that a young man would have the courage to point fingers at a thousand people. ”

"Big brother is right. Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, so many people criticized him together, ensuring that he became notorious this time and could never turn over again. Shen Xicheng said with a smile. Subsequently, he made phone calls with several major newspapers in Hong Kong and booked a page or two for critical articles.

Hong Kong's major newspapers are already fiercely competitive with each other, and they don't like each other. Now there is an opportunity to hit others, and they are naturally welcome. Besides, Shen Xicheng is under the banner of Ni Xicheng, they don't sell Shen Xicheng's face, they have to sell Ni Xicheng's face, so they all happily agreed.

"Big brother, it's all done. Shen Xicheng said proudly.

"Well, well, let's see how he dies tomorrow. Ni Orbit also has the right to win.
