Two hours later, Liu He met some big names and senior networms in the NetEase forum, and also obtained the information he wanted, wrote down the name and phone number of the editor-in-chief of the "HomeJournal" magazine, and then said goodbye to the old birds of the forum and went offline. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At this time, the Internet really made Liu Hexing unable to afford to stay longer.

After leaving the Internet café, Liu He went to a public phone booth, dialed the phone number he had just written down, and after a while, Cantonese came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is there something wrong?" ”

"Hello, may I ask if you are from HomeJournal magazine, I wonder if you can subscribe to your magazine in the mainland of China?" Liu He asked straight to the point in standard Mandarin.

"You're a mainland cub and want to subscribe to our magazine?" The other party began to confirm in somewhat broken Mandarin.

After Liu He's affirmative reply, the person who answered the phone on the other side said: "Please wait a moment, I have to ask the colleague in charge of mainland distribution." ”

As a result, it didn't take long for someone who obviously spoke a lot of standard Mandarin to pick up the phone and said on the other end: "Hello, are you really from the mainland, ready to subscribe to our magazine?" ”

"yes, didn't I just say it all?" Liu He was a little puzzled when he heard the question again, but he replied patiently when he asked for help.

Hearing Liu He's reply, Qian Zhenjiang was very happy, and replied briskly: "I'm sorry, I'm just confirming, thank you for your cooperation." ”

Liu He was confused on the other end of the phone.

Little did he know, however, that it was his insignificant magazine subscription phone call that was the last straw.

With the return of Xiangjiang to the embrace of the motherland in 97, many businessmen who seemed to smell the smell of money flocked to the mainland.

The owner of HomeJournal is also an ambitious and ambitious man, and with the support of some employees who are willing to return to the mainland to expand their business, he is ready to set up a branch of the magazine in the mainland.

However, in China in the 90s, when China's official-oriented thinking was still very heavy, in the early days of reform and opening up, enterprises, especially private enterprises, wanted to apply for licenses or asked government departments to do things that would not be able to do a good job in a while.

In the midst of this, there were inevitably some filthy inside stories, and some of the relevant procedures of the magazine in the mainland of China with good intentions were not successfully completed.

At the time of Liu He's call, the members of the entire "HomeJournal" magazine with some right to speak were basically divided into two lineups, one side was resolutely opposed to going to China to create and distribute magazines, believing that Xiangjiang still had potential to be tapped, and could take advantage of the fact that other magazines were flocking to the mainland to seize a larger market, instead of fighting with other magazines on a single-plank bridge.

On the other hand, of course, it is proposed that the magazine set up a branch in China and directly distribute the magazine on the mainland, and even the magazines in the future will be printed by the mainland; on the one hand, the sales of magazines on the mainland's large population base are naturally wide, and on the other hand, the mainland's labor is relatively cheap, and printing magazines on the mainland will reduce costs.

Although Gong Haiyang, the major shareholder of the magazine, proposed to move inward, he still could not resist the other two small shareholders standing on the opposite side, and the two sides were at a stalemate on this issue for several days.

It was not until later that the two sides negotiated a solution, that is, to release the news of the relocation of the magazine to the mainland in the circle within a cycle, and determine whether there were underwriters or customers for the magazine to subscribe, with five underwriters and 100 customers promising to subscribe all year round.

In fact, this condition is a bit harsh, generally running a magazine as long as there is an underwriter is enough, how can you ask customers to subscribe to the condition all year round, all this seems to be the other party is playing tricks on the other side.

Sure enough, the matter is in the subscription customers, I heard that the magazine moved to the mainland to establish a branch, and the professional distribution agencies in the mainland of China also heard the news, the competition for places is very motivating and far from being able to meet the five places, there is such a performance In fact, Gong Haiyang is completely able to decide, but the shareholders of the other side rely on the old and sell the old and are more concerned about his face, so they insist that the subscription customers must reach one hundred.

This did not wait for the deadline for discussion to expire, and although the number of subscribers was increasing, and then slowly approaching fifty places, it was good to die in the last two days stuck at the number of ninety-eight.

Before Liu He called, the number increased to ninety-nine again, but waiting is a kind of torment, especially when it is only one step away from success, if it falls short, I really don't know what a huge blow it is to those who want to break into the interior of China, and what a big shadow it will leave on their lives.

Finally, at ten o'clock at noon, Liu He's phone called, Qian Zhenjiang was not excited after repeated confirmation, only to see him cover the phone and shout loudly in front of the others: "Success, we have succeeded, the customer I am receiving is the hundredth, you wait, I will implement this matter, and ...... immediately"

The furniture factory has been running for a long time, and Liu He's subscription to the magazine must have been fixed for a long time, and after listening to Qian Zhenjiang's words, he decided to subscribe without hesitation, which made the latter have no use for a lot of rhetoric.

"Well, as long as the person on the other side of the phone calls, you win." The two stubborn minority shareholders looked at the caller ID, it could not be that the other party was playing tricks in the middle, and said a word unwillingly.

Everything is no problem, the phone number is given by the Internet celebrity, and Liu He also confirmed that the other party is the magazine he is looking for, waiting for the remittance Liu He contacted the other party again, and the other party told him that he would mail him the magazine that had been issued earlier this year within three days.

It's still free, which gave Liu He a small surprise.

Of course, Qian Zhenjiang also said that the surprise was great, he was a native of Huaxia Modu and worked hard in Xiangjiang for seven or eight years, this time Xiangjiang returned to he was eager to create a branch in the hometown of the mainland, and now not only can he achieve his wishes, Gong Haiyang patted him on the shoulder in front of other employees, and personally accepted him as the president of the mainland branch in the future.

Liu He never expected that he happened to be the last straw that made Qian Zhenjiang become the branch president.

The impermanence of the world is really embarrassing.

In the future, Qian Zhenjiang and Liu He established a good friendship, and the other party also helped Liu He in his own field, which will not be mentioned later.

In fact, in the previous life, "HomeJournal Beautiful Home" also happened, but without Liu He's participation, there were still other people who subscribed to the magazine all year round in the past two days, but with Liu He's existence, he became a charcoal in the snow, and others can only be regarded as icing on the cake.
