The three-day holiday on New Year's Day passed in a flash, and on the evening of the third day, Zhou Xuan was already in the classroom of the second middle school.

The classmates are still studying hard for the final exam.

When he entered the classroom, Zhou Xuan saw Liu Yixue wearing the clothes he bought in his store that day. Seeing her slender figure and exquisite curves, Zhou Xuan sighed that this chick's figure is getting better and better.

walked up to Liu Yixue, looked her up and down, and said, "How about the clothes I recommended to you?"

Liu Yixue didn't expect Zhou Xuan to be so bold, looking at her a little aggressively, and immediately blushed and said, "Well, thank you." ”

"Haha, why don't you go to the back after the evening self-study. No longer teasing her, Zhou Xuan invited Liu Yixue to go to the back mountain to talk after self-study in the evening.

"Hmm. Liu Yixue's voice was weak, and the mosquito groaned.

Back in his seat, Zhou Xuan said hello to Zhou Lin and Zhuo Lian, and then was there in a daze.

In the first three days of opening, the sales of clothing stores and supermarkets have eased after the boom in opening.

Sales in clothing stores are around seven or eight thousand, while supermarkets are stable at around twelve thousand.

Zhou Xuan's parents and uncle saw this result, and their originally somewhat apprehensive hearts settled down and worked harder to do a good job in this career.

After two days of work, the hao123 website has been set up and the corresponding domain name has been registered.

Then deploy the hao123 website on your own computer and point the domain name to your own computer.

Now that the website is accessible normally, Zhou Xuan also went to some popular forums to post to promote hao123.

However, there are still relatively few websites now, and the page URL icon of hao123 is not yet full. Thinking of maintaining the website in the future, adding new link addresses, deleting those that cannot be accessed, and whether or not putting links to some illegal websites on the website, Zhou Xuan was a little big.

decided to find someone to maintain hao123 after the year, Zhou Xuan was not prepared to spend seven or eight hours a day on maintenance like Li Xingping, so he would not be tired to death.

As for the Internet café management system, it can only be developed after the holiday. Anyway, the wave of Internet cafes has just risen, so it's not so anxious.

I thought of the manuscript of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" that I voted out, and most of the feedback I received was rejected, so I was a little anxious.

Zhou Xuan is a little strange, is it a little uncomfortable to come out eight years in advance?

Zhou Xuan didn't know, because his "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" caused some turmoil within the magazine.

A magazine in Jiangnan.

"Editor-in-chief, you see that this book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is very good. It makes me no longer have the boring reading of history before, and the writing is really good. ”

"What is good! If you really want to publish it like this, and you won't be scolded to death by those historians? Is this writing history?"

"But I think it's good!"

"I said, Xiao Liu. What kind of attitude do you have? Isn't my more than ten years of experience as good as you, a recent graduate?"

"Editor-in-chief, I didn't mean that!"

"Humph......"

A large Chinese publishing house in Yanjing.

"Nonsense! How can history be written like that? It's just playing the piano randomly!"

Everyone outside thinks the novel is good, but in the opinion of the editor-in-chief, who has experience as a history professor. This novel is just playing the piano indiscriminately, which seriously undermines the seriousness of history.

Looking at this situation, everyone was not very optimistic about the publication of the Ming Dynasty, and even mourned for Zhou Xuan.

As for Zhongzhou Publishing House, which has signed an agreement with Zhou Xuan to serialize "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", it has another attitude.

"Lao Xu, what is your opinion on Zhou Zixuan's new novel "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"?" Zhou Zixuan is Zhou Xuan's pen name.

"Old Chen, to be honest. This novel is still somewhat interesting to write. The language is vivid and interesting, and it brings the otherwise serious history to life. There is still some value in publishing, but I just don't know if the market can accept this somewhat alternative historical novel. ”

"I am also worried about this, and after the publication of such a novel, it will definitely cause heated discussions from all sides. It is conceivable that some old-fashioned and serious historians will certainly not agree with this novel. At that time, the magazine also has a lot of pressure. ”

"There is pressure and there are opportunities. If you don't contact Zhou Zixuan directly, just say that we can publish, but it must be a buyout price of 100 yuan per thousand words. ”

"Yes, that's it. ”

Zhou Xuan voted for about nine publishing houses, but only seven of them received responses. And four of them explicitly refused to publish, directly saying that their publishers had no interest in such historical novels.

In this regard, Zhou Xuan really scoffed. History will prove how short-sighted they are, knowing that Mingyue's royalty income reached tens of millions that year. Then the magazine's income must be hundreds of millions.

The other two are Zhongzhou Publishing House and the other, both of which offer a buyout price of 1000 words. He also complained on the phone, saying that if the Ming Dynasty was published, it would definitely be under tremendous pressure, so the magazine could only propose a buyout price.

Zhou Xuan knew that they saw the potential of the novel, but he didn't expect the potential to be so great.

Zhou Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to them, and only looked at the conditions of the last publishing house.

The last one is Xiling Publishing House, which is located in the provincial capital of the province and can only be regarded as second-rate in China. They would have liked to publish it, but the proposed royalty was only 5 percent, which is the level of a pure newcomer.

It is impossible for Zhou Xuan to agree to such conditions, but Zhou Xuan has enough confidence in the Ming Dynasty. Although it has advanced by eight years, people's preferences have not changed much. A classic is always a classic, and I believe that it will still be able to shine in 98 years.

Thinking about this, Zhou Xuan was a little annoyed. He had already emailed back to the publishing house in the province, but two days later, there was no reply.

Now this time is trouble, the Internet has not yet penetrated into the hearts of the people. Thinking of "The First Close Contact", Zhou Xuan almost wanted to write it out, opening an era of serialized novels on the Internet.

But Zhou Xuan forgot the specific time when "The First Close Contact" appeared. I only remember that it was ninety-eight years, and if it was written, it would not be good to collide with the ruffian Cai at that time.

Zhou Xuan learned about this publishing house in the province and published several books, but the sales were not very good, and he urgently needed a bestseller to make a name for himself.

Since people still have some doubts about the future of the Ming Dynasty, can they sign a gambling agreement to increase their confidence a little?

Zhou Xuan thought about it for a while and felt that this plan was feasible.

The next day, during the morning recess, Zhou Xuan made a phone call to Xiling Publishing House.

"Hey, hello! I'm Wan Jinglin. Across the street was an editor of the magazine, and his landline number was left in the email.

"Hello! I'm Zhou Zixuan!"
