Chapter 8 Hong Kong Island

I stayed in Beijing for more than ten days, and at this time, there was farmland in the second ring road, and there was no other way to entertain except skating. After the freshness when he first came, the second father is no longer keen on going out.

This morning, as soon as I woke up, the living room was already full of people. After hurriedly washing up, when I came to the living room, Grandma Yang hugged a little girl about two years old and kissed her.

The little girl was very scared of life. A slightly Bashu accent cried out: "I want my mother!" ”

A woman about thirty years old came out of Yi Lao's study, and said, "Mingfang, mom is here, be good, don't cry." ”

Grandma Yang Ha Lu Ha Yile handed over the child to her: "This is your Aunt Ren, your Uncle Zhijian has come back from Yishan." ”

Wu Shan hurriedly said hello. In the study, Uncle Zhijian was communicating with his father. In his previous life, he was only occasionally seen on the news, about the same height as Grandpa Yi, and a little shorter. However, due to the perennial decentralization of labor reform, and the solar radiation in Yishan is very strong, the whole person's skin is tanned. Everyone said hello, and Grandpa Yi Ren went out.

When he came back in the afternoon, Grandpa Yi had a sad face: "The pass is not easy to handle, it seems that I have to visit the old prime minister tonight." ”

In the afternoon of the next day, Grandpa Yi completed everyone's round-trip passes.

It's time to separate again, Grandpa Yi and Grandma Yang are both very strong people, but the only son left as soon as he came back, and the sadness in his heart can be imagined. Grandpa Yi and Grandma Yang waved goodbye at the door of the living room, and only Sister Qi sent everyone to the station. Unexpectedly, the great man's grandfather sent Uncle Zhang Baozhong to see everyone off, bringing a sentence: "Since you have walked out of Lu, you have to come back with a reputation." "Wushan doesn't feel good in his heart, the great grandfather is currently struggling, and the power led by Taizu's wife is extremely rampant, and he still doesn't forget this little fellow at this time.

From Jingshi to Huacheng, Wushan still slept most of the time. When I arrived in Huacheng, I bumped all the way to Anbao. In the car, I saw a newspaper with a bright red headline "Warm congratulations on the launch of the Yangtze River No. 1 submarine". Everyone looked at this newspaper, and even Uncle Zhijian, who was alone and always silent, smiled.

There is no danger from the Anbao customs, relative to the Anbao military pair "in. The Central Office of the People's Republic of China was in awe, and the law enforcement officers on Hong Kong Island meticulously verified every identity. When leaving the country, there was also a small episode, several men and women dragged everyone's legs and kowtowed to beg to take them to Hong Kong Island, and the group only smiled bitterly.

Everyone got into two legendary taxis and set off for Nathan Road, Mong Kok, Kowloon, the gathering place of Yi's Hong Kong.

Since the telegram had already been photographed, Yi Zhixin and Yi Zhizhi Zhidao's cousin were coming over, and they had been waiting at home these days. When the family meets, they are naturally very excited. Uncle Yi Zhijian introduced Wushan and his party to the two cousins.

When they arrived on Hong Kong Island, they exchanged all the renminbi into Hong Kong dollars, and all of them added up to 973 Hong Kong dollars.

Wushan said to Yi Zhixin: "Uncle Zhixin, I will deal with things as soon as possible in the next two days, and then move out." Yi Zhixin may have learned some things about Wushan from Yi Zhijian, except that he didn't know his identity as a reborn, he still admired him, but he didn't think about his preparation to start a business. I felt that everyone came out and should be educated and learn how to survive and develop under the market economy here, but no one responded. Even my cousin Yi Zhijian said: "Brother, I am 32 years old this year, how many 32 years old can I have in my life?" Time is not waiting for me, I want to get into work as soon as possible. ”

Early the next morning, the four of Wushan had breakfast at Yi's house, and Yi Zhixin was still very humane and sent a driver to send everyone to the famous newspaper. The driver is a Hong Kong Island native surnamed Wang, who does not speak Mandarin, and the Cantonese of Wushan's previous life is not in the stream, except for the limited "stewed hen, bin one, bin bean", can only understand simple language, so there is basically no communication between everyone.

When he arrived at the front desk of the famous newspaper, Wushan directly asked for Mr. Jin Yong, and the front desk lady said very politely: "Sir, I'm sorry, Mr. Jin must make an appointment." ”

Wushan also smiled bitterly, at this time, Mr. Jin was in full swing due to the popularity of fourteen novels, how could he have time to receive an unknown little person.

Turning around and muttering to another receptionist next to him, Wu Shan understood the general meaning, as if to say that mainland Tsai's garbage novels are only worthy of being published in the Far East Daily.

Wushan immediately went out and went to the parking lot to ask the driver for information from the Far East Daily. After the driver's comparison, he understood that the Far Eastern Daily was also a good newspaper.

It is not to blame Wushan, ordinary mainlanders know that Mr. Lu Daojin's famous newspaper and the Dagong newspaper that existed before the liberation, and the others are not very clear. Wushan was overjoyed, and immediately asked the driver to drive to the Far East Daily.

When I arrived at the office of Dapu Far East Daily, there were people coming and going, and it was a busy scene. Outside the traditional Chinese reception hall of the Far Eastern Daily, the sun shimmers.

After entering, the three of them went to sit on the chairs next to them. Wu Shan walked to the reception alone, and the receptionist smiled sweetly: "Sir, can I help you with anything?" ”

"Hello Miss, I'm from the mainland, I trouble speaking Mandarin, and I don't understand Cantonese." Seeing her nodding hesitantly, Wu Shan continued: "That's the case, I have a few novels here, I wonder if our newspaper has a section of novels?" ”

"Sir, we have it, but the newcomer's work may not be published, and the price will not be very high if it is published." The receptionist struggled to speak Mandarin, but Wushan still understood.

"Miss, this way, the plot of my novels is vivid and interesting, and I am very confident in these works. I don't want to measure it by the average price, if the price is determined by the number of sales. ”

"Sir, I don't know the exact situation, but I don't seem to have heard of this situation at the moment."

"Xiaoyu, what's the situation?" A voice came from behind. Wu Shan turned his head and saw that a man in his thirties walked over, probably a long-time relationship with a high position, with a majesty and a hint of familiarity on his face.

"Manager Ma, this is a gentleman from the mainland, by the way, your surname."

"Exempt from expensive, surnamed Wu, Wushan."

"From the mainland?" Manager Ma looked at Wushan with interest.

"Yes, we live with Mr. Yi Zhixin."

"Oh?" He raised his eyebrows, obviously clear to these red merchants: "Let me introduce, the contemptible Ma Tingqiang is in charge of the work of the distribution department." So, how about we go to the office and talk about it? ”

"Okay, Manager Ma, I still have a few companions, can we go up together?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Wushan greeted the second father, Daddy and Wu Jianguo. The three of them have been like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden for the past two days, and they have just arrived. Dizzy all day. Seeing Wushan's gesture, they took the elevator up together. On the 8th floor, the elevator stopped, Ma Tingqiang took the lead out of the road, and when he reached 808, he pushed the door open and went in, and a girl was busy working inside.

"Manager Ma is early!"

"Lisa early. What do you have to drink? Tea or coffee? ”

"Tea?" Wushan turned his head to ask everyone's opinions, in his last life, Wushan has never been used to drinking coffee. Everyone nodded.

Everyone sat down next to the coffee table, and the hanging lady named Lisa skillfully made kung fu tea for everyone.

Picking up the teacup, Manager Ma drank it all, and Lisa immediately filled it again. Ma Ting waved her hand, and she went to her desk.

"Mr. Wu may not know much about our Far East Daily, which was founded by my father, Mr. Ma Xiru, and my uncle, Mr. Ma Xizhen. It's been almost three years now, and it's one of the most influential media outlets in the city. Our newspaper touches all aspects of people's lives and ranks first in sales on Hong Kong Island. You said you have a novel to publish here, can you briefly introduce the plot? You must know that at present, the novel industry on Hong Kong Island is dominated by Mr. Jin's famous newspaper, and ordinary novels are suppressed so much that they can't raise their heads. ”

"I've written a total of five novels so far."

"Sorry to interrupt, you created it yourself?" Ma Tingqiang raised a hand and showed his fingers: "Five? ”

"That's right. Manager Ma, you also know the situation in the mainland, students don't go to class, I don't have anything to do, I just read books, and I currently read almost 30,000 books. I came up with the idea of writing while reading the books, and the chances of publishing these novels on the mainland are now zero, so we came to Hong Kong Island. The five novels are Xun Qin Ji, Zhu Xian, and the Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, devouring the starry sky, and covering the sky. "Wushan shamelessly plagiarized all the five novels he liked in his previous life.

Wu Shan kept an eye on him, and only introduced the outline of Xun Qin Ji to him, and it took him more than half an hour to stop. Ma Tingqiang has been listening carefully, and even Lisa was attracted to it. After the story was told, several people, including the second father, were still immersed in the story although they had seen it before.

"Manager Ma, what do you think?"

"Oh, good. Mr. Wu, to be honest, the story is very exciting, I believe that as long as the writing is a little better, your novel will definitely become popular. Mr. Wu, did you bring the manuscript here? ”

"Brought it."

"In this case, how about we make a copy of it first, let the editorial department review it, and then talk about the price? What about the other books? We have a Far Eastern Daily package! It can be seen that Ma Tingqiang is a very decisive person.

"Manager Ma, I'm sorry, I didn't bring the others here."

"It's okay, let's go have morning tea first. Lisa, you go and inform the editorial department, make copies of these manuscripts and let them review, and I will know the results in the afternoon. ”

Ma Tingqiang took everyone to the door, and the driver came over and asked, "Young Master, there are more people, take a Mercedes?" He nodded.

When they arrived at the tea restaurant, Ma Ting ordered snacks, and everyone sat there chatting, but most of the time it was Wushan who said he was listening.

"That's it, I'm older than everyone else, call me Brother Qiang, I'll call you Ashan, who are?"

Wushan introduced.

"Okay, I'll call you Ah Bi, Ah Quan, Ah Guo." Ma Tingqiang is a very talkative person who has always dominated the atmosphere of conversation, and Wushan also competes with him. Originally, in his eyes, he felt that people from the mainland, even if they were related to the Yi family, must have limited vision in all aspects due to their vision. Unexpectedly, Wushan is the first to say in any aspect.

"Ah Shan, if I didn't see it myself, I wouldn't have thought that you were only a teenager. Your knowledge is wider than mine, and I am not as good as you are in many ways. I am very optimistic about your development on Hong Kong Island, what industry do you want to engage in in the future? On Hong Kong Island, my Ma family still has a certain right to speak. If there's anything, you tell me, and I'll help you settle it. With his right index finger, he drew a large circle in the air: "Black and white, you can find me." ”

Hearing his domineering words and looking at his face, Wushan finally remembered the Far Eastern Daily and remembered the name of Ma Tingqiang, which was a little impressive. I remember the information I learned in my previous life, Ma Tingqiang's father and uncle came to Taiwan Island because of gangsterism, and they couldn't return to Hong Kong Island for the rest of their lives. This information is the entertainment version, he appeared in the news as Li Zi's husband, but his leg was lame. Of course, through this moment of understanding, Wu Shan felt that this person was really good. If possible, I hope that their family will avoid embarrassment in another time and space. After all, no one wants to leave their homeland. It's too early to do, after all, it's just getting started.

When everyone returned to the office, a chubby middle-aged man in his forties was waiting there. As soon as he saw Ma Tingqiang, he said excitedly: "Manager Ma, this novel is so good, we must take it down, even if it is just a top-level contract." The writing is smooth, the plot is vivid and interesting, and now our novel layout can make a beautiful turnaround. ”

"Okay, Editor-in-Chief Zhang, thank you, Lisa, what is the total number of words?"

"Manager Ma, the total number is 1723125."

Accidentally, there are hundreds of thousands of words more than the original, this is all income, Wushan is happy in his heart.

"Ah Shan, two hundred words in one thousand, buy all your copyrights." Everyone sat down next to the coffee table and began to discuss. In business, Ma Tingqiang took the lead in speaking.

"Brother Qiang, this is impossible. I only guarantee the first publication of the Far Eastern Daily, and at the same time, no other newspaper will publish any of my work. Even in the future, my other works will only be published in the Far Eastern Daily. But I'm not going to sell the copyright or anything. ”

Just kidding, although in his previous life until his death, other novels were not made into TV series, and the TV series version of Xun Qin Ji became popular for a while. Other novels of the game are also on sale.

"Ah Shan, you must know that other newspapers will not give you a chance to publish it at present, except for us." Ma Tingqiang frowned, and stared at Wushan with blazing eyes, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts.

"Brother Qiang, I think the popularity of the novel can drive the sales of the newspaper, and I want to participate in the share after the increase in sales. The minimum is 200 thousand words, and for every 10% increase in sales, I ask for a 10% increase in income, with a cap of two yuan per word. If Brother Qiang, you think that the younger brother's plan is not negotiable, then I have nothing to say, so I can only try my luck at other newspapers. "Wushan is gambling to see if the other party has the confidence to accept it.

Ma Tingqiang kept staring at Wu Shan's eyes and saw that there was no counterfeiting in his eyes. Just kidding, when I was working in my previous life, I saw the top 500 bosses in the world, and I didn't know how many Lu Dao there were, how could a small battle make Wushan retreat. What's more, Xun Qin Ji is crazy and popular in the mainland, at this time, even if every word adds a penny, it is a massive income.

Ma Tingqiang groaned. "Well, I'll make a call."

The phone should have been made to Ma Xiru, and Wushan, the Chaoshan dialect, was only stunned. Ma Tingqiang chatted on the phone for about ten minutes, sometimes saying a few words, sometimes listening carefully.

"Ahsan, you won." Putting down the phone, Ma Ting was relieved. Come to think of it, although the Ma family launders money with newspapers, they also want to go ashore. If it can really occupy the first place on Hong Kong Island, the Ma family should be able to slowly withdraw.

"Here's a check for three hundred and fifty thousand. Happy working together! ”

"Happy working together!" The two clasped their hands and looked at each other and smiled.

Back at Yi Zhixin, Wushan immediately asked him to help him apply for an ID card and showed the check he received. Yi Zhixin was surprised or surprised, and it was done the next day. When Wushan gave money, the other party resolutely refused to accept it.

In the farewell of the Yi family, Wushan and they owned their own house, found a house next to the Hong Kong Island Chinese University, the owner immigrated to Canada, the asking price was 200,000, and the final transaction was 170,000.

The Yi brothers were very interesting, not only gave them a nanny car, but also gave them the driver. I also helped them hire a nanny to cook at the intermediary market.

After dinner, looking at the bright lights outside the window, Wushan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Our family has gone from here to the world." He said to himself in his heart.
