Guling Street is still the same, with bookstalls and bookstores one after another, and even the air exudes the fragrance of books. It's just that the original thin novels in the bookstore have basically been replaced by hardcover editions by Hanlin Publishing House, of course, it cannot be ruled out that a large part of them are pirated.

Wang Zijun sighed in his heart, this place will wait until next year because of the city's rectification, and all the bookstalls will have to be moved.

Ning Hai still has a few old pictorial magazines of "Good Friends" in his hand, he looked at the dazzling books on both sides and said: "I have read your planning book carefully several times, and there is only one problem - you have divided "Next Magazine" into two volumes to sell, one volume contains current affairs, politics, economy, and social content, and the other volume contains information on the entertainment industry and leisurely life. The idea is good, and the respective audience is well targeted. It's just a volume of life information, and the content in it is not appropriate? ”

Taiwan's mainstream culture is Confucian culture, one of which is not to expose people's shortcomings, and the gossip of Hong Kong's "Next Magazine" in the 90s did cause resistance among some people in Taiwan. But gossip is a person's natural surname, in the 80s, Chen Qili founded the "Huamei" weekly, the first issue directly used the nude photos of popular female stars as the cover, and then it was mixed with seventy or eighty percent of the fabricated gossip content, and the military, politics, business, and entertainment circles were blown up without leaking, and it still became the most popular magazine at that time. It's just that later, due to the explosion of the ** of a government boss, he kicked the iron plate and had to be forced to stop publication.

Therefore, it is not impossible to do gossip in Taiwan, but it is necessary to master a degree and recognize it clearly.

The two came to Hanlin Publishing House, which had expanded again to more than 100 people, and moved to an office building near Sanfu Apartment.

Wang Zijun was wearing a hat and a pair of sunglasses at this time, which was his long-term dress after becoming famous.

The front desk lady didn't recognize him for a while, and asked with a sweet smile: "Sir, do you want to submit articles or do you do publishing business?" ”

"I'm looking for Yu Donglou." Wang Zijun said.

"Do you have an appointment?" The front desk lady asked.

"Yes." Wang Zijun nodded, and when she was on the phone, she looked back at the office hall of the publishing house, and saw that some employees were working diligently, while others were in a daze.

"Hey, boss, you're finally coming to the company?" Liu Rong passed by with the manuscript and looked at Wang Zijun in surprise.

"Editor Liu, I heard that you are the editor-in-chief, congratulations." Wang Zijun shook hands with him and said.

Liu Rong said with a smile: "Thanks to the promotion of the boss and Mr. Yu, otherwise I would still be unemployed at home." ”

Wang Zijun said: "I have something to talk about today, you can come in together." ”

The three of them came to the general manager's office on the second floor, and what made Wang Zijun cry and laugh was that Yu Donglou was actually eating instant noodles and reading documents, and it was not this way to rush in a hurry.

Seeing Wang Zijun coming, Yu Donglou stood up, chewed instant noodles and said, "Zijun, come and see, how is this 'Asian Martial Arts Award' doing?" It was based on the original plan you made. ”

Wang Zijun picked it up and glanced at it, at the beginning he just said something rough, but after a polish in the East Building, it really looked like an international award.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you." Wang Zijun put down the document, patted his brain and said, "This is Mr. Ninghai, who used to be a big reporter of the pictorial "Liangyou", and now I want to invite him to edit "Next Magazine". This one is Yu Donglou, the manager of Hanlin Publishing House, and this is Liu Rong, the editor-in-chief of "Martial Soul" magazine. ”

"Hello Mr. Ning!" Yu Donglou and Liu Rong both came over to shake hands.

Yu Donglou Wang Zijun had already told him his idea, and Yu Donglou, as a publishing genius, soon saw the business opportunities inside, raised his hands to support, and said that the details of distribution and printing would be left to him, and Ning Hai only needed to do the content.

Since the establishment of Hanlin Publishing House, Wang Zijun has never been in charge of this place, and under the painstaking management of the East Building, the publishing house has been able to compete with the old publishing houses such as Truth, Kindness, and Beauty in the Taiwan industry, and has just set up its own printing house last month.

The main reason for the success is the hardcover edition of the novels of Gu Long and others, as well as the serialized publication of Wang Zijun's two novels. Now the publication of hardcover novels seems to have become a lifesaver for the sluggish piracy industry, seeing that Hanlin Publishing House is on fire, so the major publishing houses that have not yet closed down have contacted the old authors, hoping to get a piece of the pie. It's a pity that Taiwan's four famous artists have already signed contracts with Hanlin Publishing House, which makes other publishing houses sigh silently, so they have to find second-rate writers to discuss publishing matters.

In the first half of the year, the abnormal prosperity of the publishing industry made a number of slightly famous novelists in Taiwan blossom, and the publishing fees were recorded in large sums of money, and they were still previous novels, and they had a good impression of the founder of Hanlin Publishing House.

The happiest is still Gu Long, although he has invested the copyright of his previous novels as shares in the publishing house, but the monthly dividends give him the energy to slowly innovate novels, and he does not have to worry about living expenses as before.

Another result of this matter is that Gu Long has more free time to drink and have fun, and in the end, his girlfriend finally couldn't help but break up with him.

Yu Donglou now knows many people in the cultural and publishing circles, and he has been approached by him for some of the column editors of Next Magazine, and he has set up a few reading offices in the building as the location of Next Magazine.

When Liu Rong accompanied Ning Hai to familiarize himself with the office environment, Wang Zijun and Yu Donglou came to Gu Long's house not far away.

Gu Long is now one of the three major shareholders of Hanlin Publishing House, and it stands to reason that he should be considered a rich man, but the furnishings at home have not changed at all. The only change is that after her girlfriend Chiyoko left, the room was in a mess, with wine bottles everywhere and a change of clothes thrown everywhere.

The stubble on Gu Long's chin looked like he hadn't shaved for weeks, and at first glance Wang Zijun didn't recognize it.

"Zijun, come and take a look, this is the "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" I wrote recently." After Gu Long saw Wang Zijun, he directly arrested him to read the manuscript.

Wang Zijun couldn't cry or laugh, this man didn't even participate in the premiere of his movie, and he dared to hide at home to write a novel.

"Lu Xiaofeng" Wang Zijun didn't know how many versions he had watched watching TV in his last life, so he put down the manuscript after a few casual glances and told Gu Long about "Next Magazine". Then he said, "The three of us are shareholders of the publishing house, so we need to discuss it together." At present, although the printing house, publishing house, and magazine are all managed by Brother Yu, they are actually not subordinate to each other, and it is inconvenient to do things in many cases. I want to integrate the resources of the upcoming "Next Magazine" with the publishing house, the printing house, and the "Martial Soul" magazine to make a media group. In the future, to expand the scope of business, you can also bring Brother Niu and them in to make comics and even anime. But that's all for later, and now it's mainly a preliminary plan. ”

Gu Long said calmly: "You can discuss this problem, I said that it doesn't matter if you run it." ”

Yu Donglou was puzzled: "Now the publishing house is expanding rapidly, although it makes a lot of money, but it has just built a printing factory, and there is no more money." ”

Yu Donglou means that if you want to get "Next Magazine" in, you must pay Wang Zijun, and it will be difficult to calculate the shares of Shuxiang Media at this time.

Wang Zijun thought for a while and said: "Then put "Next Magazine" aside, integrate the publishing house, printing house and "Martial Soul", and everyone's shares will remain unchanged." ”

Yu Donglou said: "Okay, I've been thinking about this recently. ”

"So be it." Wang Zijun got up and said, "Let's go, call Elder Ning and Liu Rong to drink together." ”

"Wait a minute." When Gu Long heard that the drinking was gaining momentum, he hurriedly ran to shave his beard.

The three of them returned to the publishing house, Ning Haixuan had already chosen the office location, and was about to drag him and Liu Rong to eat together, but they heard someone shouting behind them: "Senior Wang!" ”

When Wang Zijun heard someone called Wang, he couldn't help but look back, but saw a girl running over in surprise and said, "Senior Wang, it's really you!" ”

Wang Zijun felt that this woman was a little familiar, and asked, "Are you?" ”

The girl said, "I'm Liu Nianjun, and I asked you to comment on my novel at Tsinghua University last year." ”

"Oh," Wang Zijun patted his head, "I remember, your novel is called "The Legend of the Nations", I remember that I gave the novel to Liu Rong as the editor-in-chief." ”

Liu Rong said with a smile: "Miss Liu is the most popular talented woman in the recent "Martial Soul" vote. ”

Liu Nianjun said embarrassedly: "Thanks to Senior Wang and Editor-in-Chief Liu, it is too naïve to look back at my first draft now." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it, since we met, let's go to dinner together." Wang Zijun said.

A few people walked for a while, but they heard Liu Nianjun suddenly pointing at Gu Long and shouting, "Oh, I remembered, you are Gu Long." ”

Gu Long touched his face and said to himself, "Is it strange that I am Gu Long? ”

Liu Nianjun ran to Gu Long's side excitedly and said adoringly: "I especially like the "Happy Hero" you wrote, I never thought that someone could write a martial arts novel into an interesting and witty philosophical prose. Do you know? My "Tale of the Kingdoms" was written after reading "Happy Heroes" and getting inspiration from Senior Wang's "Sou Shen Ji". ”

"Do you really like Happy Heroes?" Gu Long was also surprised, "Happy Hero" was not very long, but it was an innovative breakthrough that he spent a lot of effort on, but the market response was not as good as Chu Liuxiang, which made him lose confidence at that time.

"Of course. I think from the perspective of pure surnames, in the past 20 years, the happy hero has been the first in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Liu Nianjun said.

Gu Long was complimented like this, and he was a little embarrassed.

On the banquet, Yu Donglou, Liu Rong, and Ning Hai were discussing the new publication, while Gu Long and Liu Nianjun had a hot fight.

Wang Zijun had a headache and said, these two men and women won't get together, I didn't hear that Gu Long has a girlfriend named Liu Nianjun.

Gu Long is worthy of being a veteran of the flowers, after his deliberate flattery, and Liu Nianjun admires him a lot, the meal has not been finished, and the two have already frowned.
