In the poaching turmoil of Sing Tao Newspaper and other companies, Zhang Shaojie neither expressed his position nor contacted Sing Tao Newspaper, but he undoubtedly benefited from this poaching turmoil!

Although Jin Yong is known for being "stingy" in the industry, as a self-made media giant, he also knows that an excellent author is a scarce resource that cannot be found.

A genius like Zhang Shaojie who pioneered the trend of fantasy martial arts, his commercial value is immeasurable!

Because, in the face of poaching by many newspaper giants, Ming Pao Newspaper Group feels a deep crisis.

In order to retain Zhang Shaojie, the "Ming Pao" newspaper company began to take the initiative to increase Zhang Shaojie's remuneration, and after four issues of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Zhang Shaojie's remuneration was raised to 300 Hong Kong dollars per thousand words.

Of course, even if "Ming Pao" has greatly increased its remuneration, it is only on a par with its top author, the author of romance novels. It is far from being as high as the "thousand words and thousands of yuan" proposed by Sing Tao Press Group!

In fact, Zhang Shaojie was quite moved by the offer of Sing Tao Newspaper.

However, since the remuneration standard has been greatly increased in Ming Pao, his remuneration has reached the level that first-line authors should have.

As long as the manuscript of the novel has been handed in, you can receive a staggering amount of remuneration.

He didn't want to jump ship for the sake of immediate interests, so as to bear the infamy of a "treacherous" villain.

What's more, at this time, "Datang" has only been serialized for a month, and its popularity is not very stable.

If you change jobs now, because the readership of Sing Tao Newspaper and the readership of Ming Pao do not completely coincide, it is inevitable that there will be a loss of popularity.

Of course, at this time, not only in the magazine "Martial Arts and History", but also in the fiction section of "Ming Pao", which is issued every day, began to serialize "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" for a long time.

Although only more than 100,000 words of the 500,000 manuscripts that have been submitted have been serialized in newspapers and magazines. However, as long as the text is sent to "Ming Pao", the remuneration will soon be credited to Zhang Shaojie's account.

However, even if it is simply copying 20,000 or 30,000 words a day, it is also a drudgery that makes people "numb and sore".

Zhang Shaojie really hopes that the printers of this era can be compatible with Zhang Shaojie's computer system from 2011, so he only needs to move the mouse to print text, saving time and effort.

Of course, this is just a delusion, and it will be at least the 21st century that printers will be compatible with 2011 computers.

Therefore, Zhang Shaojie had to work hard every day to manually copy these words, and every time he finished copying, his tired fingers were basically sore.

It's worth the hard work!

Now Zhang Shaojie has received a total of 150,000 Hong Kong dollars from the "Ming Pao" newspaper company!

Zhang Shaojie muttered to himself with back pain and leg cramps: "Xiao Huang (Huang Yi), I feel a little sorry for you!" However, if you take your "Datang" to earn the first pot of gold, I will always repay you in the future! ”

At this time, Zhang Shaojie was already a big celebrity.

Because, in the contract signed between Zhang Shaojie and "Ming Pao", it is mainly the copyright of serialization in newspapers and periodicals, and does not include various rights and interests such as physical book publishing, film and television drama adaptation, game adaptation, etc.

In the publishing circle, countless publishers are begging to buy the physical book publishing authorization of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".

There are also bigwigs in the film and television industry who claim to be interested in buying the film and television adaptation authorization of "Datang".

Of course, these are "rumors" and "gossip news".

At least, there is no organization other than Ming Pao that has contacted Zhang Shaojie himself.

――――――――――

"Ding Dong!" The doorbell rings.

"Does Mr. Zhang Shaojie live here?" A young man's voice.

Zhang Shaojie opened the door and asked, "Who?" ”

The man in his early thirties smiled and said, "I'm Huang Yulang, a cartoon drawer. ”

Zhang Shaojie had already felt that his face was familiar, and when he heard this, he was taken aback.

It's actually the great god Huang Yulang!

Huang Yulang is not only a strange man in the comic industry, but also a successful entrepreneur.

In the 60s, shortly after graduating from primary school, Wong Yuk Lang began to publish comics and created many comic works. What really pushed his comic career to the pinnacle was the work "Little Rascals", the main plot at the beginning of the book, which is the plot of three teenage heroes who help citizens fight back against the gangsters with their martial arts.

The first issue of "Little Rascals" was serialized with only 7,000 copies, but at that time it was already the best comic sold in Hong Kong. Over time, the circulation of "Little Rascals" became more and more popular, and by the mid-70s, when "Little Rascals" was renamed "Dragon Tiger Gate", the circulation of each issue had exceeded 100,000 copies.

Because of the "Dragon Tiger Gate", it earns millions of years of huge profits every year! Stimulated Hong Kong comic lovers to devote themselves to comic creation without hesitation.

A large group of Hong Kong comic lovers entered the comic industry, cultivating a unique comic genre in the world comic industry - Hong Kong comics!

Although Hong Kong has a population of only 5 million people, it has 1 million comic book readers. Therefore, in the 90s, Hong Kong comics became the world's third largest comic production area after American comics and comics. This has to be said to be another miracle of Hong Kong's cultural industry!

With the Hong Kong comic boom triggered by "Dragon and Tiger Gate", in 1972, Huang Yulang once again pooled all his funds and established Yulang Book Publishing Company (also known as 'Yulang Institution'). With the profits earned from the big sales of "Dragon and Tiger Gate", Huang Yulang recruited young cartoonists and expanded the company's share in the comics market.

After years of development, Yulang Publishing Company occupies half of the Hong Kong comic publishing market, and began to carry the banner of the leader of Hong Kong comic publishing. In addition to Huang Yulang's own "Dragon Tiger Gate", he can earn millions of comics every year. Some of the popular cartoonists under Yulang Company have the highest annual manuscript fee of hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars!

In 1979, Yulang Publishing Company began to change its name to Yulang International Group, showing Huang Yulang's international ambitions!

In fact, until 1986, Huang Yulang's own assets were only 100 million Hong Kong dollars. However, in 1986, after Yulang International Company went public, Huang Yulang's worth soared to HK$2 billion because the market value of his stock soared.

However, Huang Yulang was unlucky, and after the company went public, it was first subjected to a hostile takeover by Sing Tao Newspaper Group. Then there was the stock market crash of '87.

In order to avoid being acquired by the "Sing Tao Newspaper" group, Huang Yulang embezzled the funds on the company's books and used Huang Yulang to increase his holdings of the company's shares.

Unexpectedly, in 1990, Huang Yulang's misappropriation of funds, false accounts and other deeds were exposed by the media. After that, Huang Yulang was not only fined a huge amount of money, but also imprisoned
