The next day, Mo Xuan came to the New Territories Daily as promised, and Li Zhenfa took him to the office of Zhang Yunxing, the editor-in-chief of the New Territories Daily. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Zhenfa explained his intention to the editor-in-chief and praised "Xun Qin", saying how beautiful it is and how novel it is.

So Zhang Yunxing took "Looking for Qin" and looked at it carefully.

When he was reading the book, Mo Xuan was calm on the surface, but he was actually very nervous in his heart, because he didn't know if this book was suitable for the appetite of people in this era, maybe Li Zhenfa was just a beautiful exception.

"That's good! It's very good! This kind of writing is really unprecedented! Mo Xuan Xiaoyou, you are really a genius. ”

Zhang Yunxing put down the manuscript and asked Mo Xuan: "Our New Territories Daily is very willing to publish it, I wonder if Xiaoyou is willing?"

Mo Xuan nodded and agreed: "Since I have come to the New Territories Daily, I must be willing to let your newspaper publish it." ”

In that case, let's talk about remuneration. ”

"Our remuneration for newcomers has always been 60 words per 1,000 words, how about reading Xiaoyou's book is so brilliant, how about 80 words per 1,000 words?"

"Editor-in-Chief Zhang, this is too low, I heard that Ni Frame's remuneration is thousands of words. I think my "Quest for Qin" is no worse than his novels. Mo Xuan said confidently.

"Young man, you're too rampant. The thousand words and thousands of dollars in the Ni frame are imaginary. It's just the price Huang Yulang gave in order to make a name, and it was a short comment. ”

"You go and inquire about how much the novel he is now publishing in Ming Pao is a thousand words. Young people, you must understand the truth that the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant. Zhang Yunxing saw that Mo Xuan was indifferent, so he continued.

Mo Xuan shook his head and said, "Editor-in-Chief Zhang, of course I know that his thousand words and thousands of yuan are false. But most people in Hong Kong don't know it. ”

"And I've heard that your newspaper is struggling, especially since it has been selling only 20,000 copies lately. ”

"Listen to me, you see that you give me a thousand words and thousands of yuan for the manuscript, I believe that the whole of Xiangjiang will know about it the next day. ”

"This can not only promote the popularity of my book, increase the sales of the newspaper, but also promote the reputation of your newspaper and attract outstanding talents. Mo Xuan said to Zhang Yunxing with a smile.

Zhang Yunxing fell silent after listening to Mo Xuan's words, and began to analyze the pros and cons.

Mo Xuan saw his contemplative appearance and knew that he had the possibility of accepting it in his heart, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Editor-in-Chief Zhang, what are you hesitating about." This kills two birds with one stone. Don't you have confidence in "The Legend of Qin"? No one in Xiangjiang wrote novels like this before. This is a novelty for the people of Hong Kong. ”

"That's it, I'll make a bet with you, the sales volume of your newspaper is now 20,000 copies, and I will temporarily use 1,000 words and 1,000 yuan for the time being, if after the publication of "Xun Qin Ji", the sales of your newspaper have not doubled on the existing basis, then I will have 80 words per thousand, how about it?"

"However, when your newspaper advertised, it still said that my remuneration was 1,000 words and 1,000 yuan, and the first 1,000-word and 1,000-yuan martial arts novel was serialized in the New Territories Daily. ”

Zhang Yunxing was also seriously considering at this time, the newspaper has been operating poorly recently, and the boss's son has repeatedly encouraged the boss to sell the newspaper and change to other industries. If it weren't for his persuasion, the boss would have sold the newspaper a long time ago, and he had to do something to change the current situation.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunxing said to Mo Xuan: "Okay, I promise you." Now that he has made up his mind, Zhang Yunxing did not delay, and immediately asked someone to prepare a contract and signed a contract with Mo Xuan.

"Editor-in-chief Zhang, happy cooperation. When the sales of your newspaper skyrocket in a few days, you will definitely be glad for today's decision. Mo Xuan said with a smile.

"Thank you for your good words, haha, I would like to congratulate my brother on becoming the first writer in Xiangjiang to write a novel with a salary of thousands of words. ”

Zhang Yunxing felt that although Mo Xuan was still not famous, he was experienced and talented, and he would definitely achieve something in the future, so he wanted to get closer to each other and repay him in the future.

"Well, in that case, I'll go back first. I'll come back to Editor-in-Chief Zhang another day. By the way, I don't know if your newspaper can advance part of the remuneration first, the younger brother is in urgent need. ”

"No problem. Zhenfa, you wait and take my note to the finance to get 30,000 yuan to Ah Xuan. Zhang Yunxing agreed.

"Thank you very much. ”

"No, it's just an advance on your manuscript. By the way, I don't know how many manuscripts Xiaoyou still have, so don't wait for the newspaper to publish Xiaoyou's manuscripts. ”

"Don't worry, I'll continue to write when I go back, and I will never stop changing. "How did Zhang Yunxing know that Mo Xuan had already finished writing "The Story of Qin".

Then Mo Xuan and Li Zhenfa went to the finance to advance 30,000 yuan and returned to the rented place with Xu Fan, and then Mo Xuan asked Xu Fan to take part of the money to pay the rent to the landlady.

"Brother Xuan, you are really good. You can make so much money writing novels, and I've never seen that much money in my life. Xu Fan said adoringly.

Brother Xuan in the past was already omnipotent in his heart, and now he is even more powerful than before.

"Afan, it's nothing. Brother Xuan will make more money in the future, and our brother will definitely live a better life. ”

"Well, Brother Xuan, I believe in you, Brother Xuan is omnipotent. ”

...

When night fell, Mo Xuan stood upstairs and looked at the incomparably prosperous Xiangjiang River, full of hope.

For the first time, he felt that the future was so bright.

....

Lin Fa is a broker in a financial company, because of the needs of this job, and the entertainment in Xiangjiang is far less than that of later generations, so he has always had the habit of reading newspapers. On the one hand, some changes in the market economy can be reflected between the lines of the newspaper, and on the other hand, it can also pass the time.

As usual, he bought three newspapers, "Ming Pao", "Oriental Daily" and "Sing Tao Daily", at the newsstand, and just as he was about to leave the newsstand to take the bus to work, several young people came to the newsstand, and their conversation with the boss attracted him, and finally caused him to be late for the first time in more than ten years of work.

"Boss bring me a copy of New Territories Daily"

"Boss, I want one too. ”

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but today's New Territories Daily sold out early in the morning. ”

"Make no mistake, you don't have any of this, we've run a lot of homes, it's really unlucky. Several young people said in frustration.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry. I have added 100 additional newspapers to the New Territories Daily, and we will be able to arrive in the afternoon. ”

"Boss, let's pay you for the newspaper first, you leave us a few copies, and we'll get them in the afternoon." ”

"Okay, okay. The newsstand owner said with a smile on his face.

"Then we'll get it done. After telling the boss, several people left the newsstand together.

The boss was happy to see their departing backs, because of the New Territories Daily, his business was more than twice as good as usual.

It turned out that today's "New Territories Daily" published a novel "Searching for Qin" by a writer named Mo Xuan, which I heard was a completely new novel theme, so today's "New Territories Daily" was sold out for the first time.

This is the first time that he plans to order more New Territories Daily in the future, and take a ride on Kunlun to make his business easier.

...

And such a scene is a small microcosm of Xiangjiang, and such things happen everywhere in Xiangjiang.
