"Martial Arts Weekly" is not only selling well, since the launch of "Mandarin Duck Knife", the sales of several issues have been stable at 57,800 copies, which makes the editors of the weekly magazine raise their eyebrows.

But just when the situation of the weekly magazine was becoming more and more optimistic, and it was very likely to make a beautiful comeback, a shocking news came.

Someone wants to buy "Martial Arts Weekly"!

It was none other than the major shareholder behind "Old Stories of Martial Arts", the leading Golden Horse Publishing Company in the martial arts novel industry.

When it comes to Golden Horse Publishing Company, it is really famous, and anyone who reads martial arts novels does not know it!

Today's martial arts novels have the saying of the Four Heavenly Kings, Guo Weisi in the north, Jin Rumeng in the south, Gu Tianfeng in the east, and Gongsun Bai in the west.

Among these four people, except for Guo Weisi, who is an all-rounder, the other three are all specialized martial arts novel authors, and their works are all signed to Golden Horse Publishing Company.

What is even more exaggerated is that among the more than 300 martial arts novels that have appeared on the market this year, 142 have been published by Golden Horse, accounting for half of the martial arts novels.

Geng Yunhe did not say how Jinma's acquisition of "Wuxia Weekly" began, only that Jinma's offer was quite tempting, and several shareholders of the weekly were considering it.

After listening to this, Zhou Lin thought for a moment and said: ""Martial Arts Circle" is the first-class magazine in the industry, and it doesn't seem to be a bad thing to merge into them, maybe there will be better development." ”

Geng Yunhe was stunned when he heard this, trying to distinguish whether Zhou Lin really didn't understand or was pretending to be stupid.

Zhou Lin looked at him with ease, his eyes so deep that it was difficult to associate him with an eighteen-year-old boy.

Geng Yunhe only saw a deep pool in Zhou Lin's eyes, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart, knowing that he couldn't go around the bend anymore.

He groaned: "What "Martial Arts Circle" wants is just the shell of the weekly magazine, if they really complete the acquisition, I am afraid that none of the old employees will be left." ”

People's positions are determined by interests.

Now Geng Yunhe is the editor-in-chief of "Wuxia Weekly", and he has the final say in what the magazine does. But once the acquisition of Jinma is successful, will he still be able to secure the position of editor-in-chief?

It is precisely because of this that Geng Yunhe will boycott the Golden Horse with all his might.

Zhou Lin smiled: "The acquisition is what the capital says, and the editor-in-chief Geng told me that these are actually useless, you don't think I can influence the decision of the acquisition, right?"

"You can!" Geng Yunhe and Zhang Zhifang said in unison.

Geng Yunhe said a little excitedly: "Do you know how much the sales of that issue of "Mandarin Duck Knife" were? 75,000 copies. Even in the golden age of the first publication, we had never sold so much. The reason why Jinma is eyeing us is because of the small craze caused by "Mandarin Duck Knife", and they feel that the weekly magazine is time-sensitive and a powerful supplement to "Martial Arts Circle". ”

"So I'm to blame if the Golden Horse Club wants to buy Weekly. Zhou Lin said.

Geng Yunhe hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that. I mean, your novels are very marketable, and a single "Mandarin Duck Knife" can increase our sales by 25%, what if it is "The Legend of the City"?"

"Why would the shareholders consider the offer of Jinma, because the weekly has had a very low profit in the past two years, and it is better to sell it when the price is good than to put it in its hands and not make money. But if sales can continue to grow, will shareholders be willing to let go?" Geng Yunhe became more and more excited.

"Do you mean that as long as "Liancheng Jue" is published in the weekly magazine, it can increase sales and make shareholders change their minds by the way?" Zhou Lin actually guessed Geng Yunhe's intention a long time ago, and he just accompanied him around the corner.

"That's for sure!" Geng Yunhe and Zhang Zhifang said confidently.

"If the Connecting Cities is so important, I can't even talk to you about money. Zhou Lin showed an unfathomable smile, "Why don't we talk a little deeper." ”

"How to go deeper?" Geng Yunhe and Zhang Zhifang were stunned.

An hour later, when Geng Yunhe and Zhang Zhifang walked out of the Mingdian Cafe, their steps were a little fluttering, as if they were drunk.

Standing on the side of the street waiting for a taxi, the two couldn't help but glance back.

Through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the café, you can see Zhou Lin drinking coffee slowly on the seat.

Just looking at his appearance, he is no different from those shouting and jumping teenagers on the street, and even more immature and delicate in appearance.

Such a young man has a shocking genius, he can write a short story like "Mandarin Duck Knife", and he can also conceive a long masterpiece that analyzes people's hearts like "Liancheng Jue".

What's even more terrifying is that he even came up with an idea that made Geng Yunhe and Zhang Zhifang feel chills down their spines.

Zhang Zhifang felt that compared with Zhou Lin, he had lived to the belly of a dog for more than 40 years.

Geng Yunhe was secretly thinking, Zhou Lin's confidence was too much, it was good that "Liancheng Jue" could succeed, if he couldn't succeed, wouldn't he be taken to the ditch by him?

What Geng and Zhang would think, Zhou Lin didn't care. He finished his coffee slowly and methodically, and was about to leave.

When I walked to the door, I happened to see the beautiful girl, she probably finished her work and changed her outfit to go out.

As soon as the two looked at each other, the girl turned her face away, not at all like the cordiality when they met in the first two times.

The girl walked out of the door, and Zhou Lin also followed, and he couldn't help asking, "Did I offend you in any way?"

The girl turned around and glared angrily: "You know what you did!"

That expression is like a silly white sweet female character who was deceived by a man and became pregnant in an idol drama, but when he came to the door, he found that the other party already had a wife and children!

A few passers-by next to him turned their heads when they heard the sound, and glanced between Zhou Lin and the girl with extremely gossipy eyes.

Zhou Lin said with an innocent face: "I really don't know, can you remind me?"

The girl said: "You have done such a bad thing, and you still want to ask me? Do you know, not only me, but many people hate you to death!"

Zhou Lin was even more surprised, and wondered if the girl had recognized the wrong person.

Passers-by all looked lively with relish, so they almost moved a small bench and got bags of melon seeds.

"You're mistaken, I haven't done anything unethical. Zhou Lin carefully recalled all the experiences since the crossing, except for copying novels and songs, everything else is okay?

"Do you still say no?" The girl felt like she was about to cry, "You killed Baguio, you killed Baguio!"

Passers-by all showed surprised looks, and someone took out their mobile phones and seemed to call the police.

Zhou Lin almost sprayed a mouthful of old blood on the ground.

He remembered that according to the speed of updating, the update progress of "Zhu Xian" in the past few days has almost reached the climax stage of the whole novel.

In order to save Zhang Xiaofan, Baguio was hit by the Zhuxian Sword, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

When he saw that paragraph in his previous life, Zhou Lin also hated the author Xiao Ding to the bone, and he didn't understand why he wrote such a good girl in Baguio to death.

I didn't expect him to encounter this situation in this life.
