Pan Yongqiang was already waiting for the arrival of editor-in-chief Lin Xiaodao early in the morning. But Lin Xiaodao didn't come for a long time, and it was almost noon when he walked in from outside wearing a sky blue plaid shirt.

Pan Yongqiang immediately greeted him: "Editor-in-chief, I want to talk to you." ”

Lin Xiaodao's shiny leather shoes clattered on the smooth floor, then looked at his watch with an impatient face, and said, "Give you three minutes, just say here, I still have to go to a meeting, and the timer will begin." ”

Pan Yongqiang was taken aback by Lin Xiaodao's move, but he still quickly adjusted his expression and said respectfully: "Editor-in-chief, that's the case, the article I showed you yesterday is actually very well written, why don't you take a look at it again?" I think he fits my requirements perfectly. ”

"You mean I'm not as good as yours in terms of reviewers?"

Pan Yongqiang was choked for a moment, stunned for a few seconds, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean that, I mean to say, editor-in-chief, you are so busy, you must not have time to read it carefully, but I have read it several times, and it is really well written, or ......."

"It's three minutes." Lin Xiaodao's shiny leather shoes had left the position where he was standing.

Pan Yongqiang looked at the young man's back blankly, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Alas, it's good to be young, at least you don't have to bow down and whisper to someone younger than yourself. But young people can also commit some stupid things. He Pan Yongqiang is no longer young, so he can see this more thoroughly. A young man like Lin Xiaodao, who has no one in his eyes, will one day ruin a big novel.

As an old editor, he also knows very well that he must keep "On the Restaurant" and keep "Shuren". If such a prodigy were to publish his work in another magazine, it would definitely cause irreparable damage to the big novel.

But now that Lin Xiaodao didn't listen to his advice because of personal grievances, what could he do? In fact, the easiest way to do this is to give the manuscript to another editor, so that the manuscript can be published.

But Pan Yongqiang is unwilling, he has been engaged in editing for so many years, and finally came across a masterpiece, how can he give it to others so easily?

Chen Shenxiu walked past Pan Yongqiang with a glass of boiling water: "Mr. Pan, you have also seen the attitude of the editor-in-chief, don't be stubborn anymore, go and apologize to the editor-in-chief honestly, and then give some gifts or something, and the matter will be over." ”

Pan Yongqiang has thought about apologies and gifts, but he is also an elder in the editorial room, so let him apologize and give gifts to an editor-in-chief who has just been in office for less than half a year? If such a thing spreads, where will his old face go?

"Xiao Chen, there are some things you don't understand. An upright person will not deal with others, but a narrow-minded person cannot be settled by apologizing. ”

Pan Yongqiang said and sat back in his seat. He turned on his computer and fell into deep thought like never before.

This is an era when everyone who is engaged in the magazine and newspaper industry is in danger.

In the 23rd century, e-books and new media are all the rage. Traditional print media is suffering from an unprecedented winter. Just last month, two major publications announced that they would stop publishing paper publications in the second half of this year. This means that two more mountains of paper media have disappeared and collapsed.

In addition, some small magazines are also ceasing publication or facing transformation or merger.

The reason why the big novel has been able to stand so far is because the editors and reviewers are rigorous and the theme center is clear, and the other is because it is behind the powerful 'Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House'. With its back to a big tree, it will not fall easily.

But if there is a stupid editor-in-chief, it is estimated that the big novel will follow the old path of other peers.

Zhang Wuren suddenly raised his head and looked at Pan Yongqiang and said, "Teacher Pan, have you read the news headlines?" In that 'New Youth', the editor-in-chief left, and several editors also left, as if there was only one president left. ”

Chen Shenxiu said in surprise: "No, it's so miserable, I'll take a look." ”

Pan Yongqiang opened the news headlines in disbelief, and sure enough, a red sentence hung at the top: the most influential magazine in the 23rd century is dying.

'New Youth' was first published in Shanghai on January 1, 2221, with a monthly issue and a price of 20 yuan. So far, a total of 15 issues have been issued. Why is the new YMCA suddenly facing such an embarrassment?

Pan Yongqiang hurriedly looked at it, and the news content was as follows:

In the face of the impact of new media, New Youth, once known as the 'most influential magazine of the 23rd century', is facing closure. According to Li Dazhao, president of the New Youth Magazine, the reason for the suspension of the publication was the departure of the editor-in-chief and editor, and the suppression of opponents.

As a magazine of the times that has sprung up in the 23rd century, New Youth has not only attracted people's attention, but also been jointly suppressed by other major publications. Under the double crisis of internal personnel poaching and external pressure, this unique magazine had to be suspended. As for when the publication will resume, President Li Dazhao said that it may be far away.

After reading the short and powerful news, Pan Yongqiang let out a long breath, and his mood was actually a little bored.

"Teacher Pan, what do you think about this matter?" Zhang Wuren asked.

Pan Yongqiang sighed again and said: "This is a rare book, I used to buy every issue, but I didn't expect it...... Alas, seeing this news now, I only feel quite heavy, as if I saw an old friend leaving. ”

"yes." Chen Shenxiu said, "I must buy this book every issue, but I didn't expect it to be like a high-rise building, rising fast and collapsing fast." ”

"Isn't there a chance that this book will make a comeback?" Zhang Wuren said, "No matter what, it also has a large number of readers, even if several major magazines jointly suppress it, it will not fall into disintegration." It may not be possible that the issue will resume in a few days. ”

Chen Shenxiu also sighed: "It's easier said than done." You must know that several major magazines have been moving frequently recently. As the so-called outnumbered, even if the 'new youth' is good, it is only alone, so I think the 'new youth' is at the end of the road and has no skills to recover. ”

"Not necessarily." Zhang Wuren denied her statement, "If Li Dazhao finds a powerful character, maybe he can really come back to life." ”

"Would a powerful person go to a small magazine like that?" Chen Shenxiu retorted, "Although New Youth has a good reputation, after all, it is only a new publication that has just risen for a year. Whether it's in the small problems of typesetting or in the big ones like drafting, it's not mature enough. Another is that New Youth is an independent publication, and there is no powerful proprietor behind him, and Li Dazhao is obviously at a financial disadvantage just because of his enthusiasm for starting the publication, and if he wants to fight with several major publications, he can only lose. ”

Chen Shenxiu's opinion is undoubtedly correct, but Pan Yongqiang still feels very uncomfortable when he listens to it.

'New Youth' is a book that calls for submissions from all over the country. There is no restriction on age or subject matter, but there is a preference for critical articles, which is why they are widely acclaimed.

In addition to creating a good reputation, New Youth also created the myth of a single issue with a circulation of up to 7 million copies. But it was only one episode that created this myth. When several major magazines realized the crisis, they immediately secretly joined forces to suppress the new youth.

Li Dazhao is just a lover of literature, with no background, so he has no ability to resist, and in the end he can only watch the books and periodicals he founded decline or even perish.

Pan Yongqiang opened "On the Restaurant" by "Shuren" and thought to himself, what would happen if this article was posted on "New Youth"?
