In the editorial room of the New Evening News, a mainstream newspaper that had just been launched in mid-October, the editor-in-chief, Luo Chengxun, came to the desk of a male editor with a newspaper in his hand.

"Wen Tong, how did you think about the incident I said last time?" Sitting across the desk, Luo Chengxun looked at the man opposite with a smile.

The man sitting opposite him is Chen Wentong, an editorial committee member of the New Evening News who was transferred from Ta Kung Pao to the New Evening News by Luo Chengxun, and is 26 years old this year.

In addition to the position of editorial member of the New Evening News, Chen Wentong also serves as a lecturer in economics at the Southern University of Hong Kong, and has dazzling qualifications among the editors of the New Evening News, which is why the editor-in-chief, Luo Chengxun, has a good eye for him.

Hearing Luo Chengxun ask, Chen Wentong kept the pen in his hand and replied without raising his head: "I still have a lot of manuscripts to write, and I have to go to school to give a lecture on Thursday, you can find someone else to write martial arts novels." ”

Luo Chengxun seemed to have expected that Chen Wentong would reject him, and he was not surprised when he heard this, and continued to persuade him: "I also know that it is a bit overkill to let you serialize martial arts novels in the newspaper, but the stories on the serial columns of these issues of China and Hong Kong Daily are getting better, and more and more readers are being attracted. ”

"It's not that I don't help you, I've read the serialized novels in the China Hong Kong Daily, and many novel plots can start a sect, even if I am asked to write it, it may not be brilliant for someone to write it." Chen Wentong paused with the pen in his hand, raised his head and glanced at the editor-in-chief Luo Chengxun, "And now that the new evening newspaper has just been launched, the layout has been set, and there is no preset serial column from the beginning......"

When Luo Chengxun heard him say this, he saw that there seemed to be room for mediation, so he hurriedly spoke: "You don't have to worry about this, I have communicated with the plate making department yesterday, you can take a look at this model newspaper first." ”

As he spoke, Luo Chengxun handed the sample of the new evening newspaper in his hand to Chen Wentong, and looked at him with hope in his eyes.

"Arabian Nights column? Do you play really? Chen Wentong took the newspaper and swept it roughly, looked at Luo Chengxun and frowned and asked.

Although the new evening newspaper has just been launched, the supplement layout has always been the same as the mainstream newspapers that publish current affairs news, and now the sample in his hand, the supplement news column has disappeared and been replaced by a column called 'Arabian Nights'.

Arabian Nights, it sounds like a text column that is biased towards entertainment serialization.

Luo Chengxun nodded, a little more positive: "Of course it's a real game, you can also see how much China Hong Kong Daily is doing now, their serial columns are just to stabilize readers, if we succeed in following the trend this time, you will be responsible for the Arabian Nights column." ”

Looking at the sample newspaper in front of him, Chen Wentong rubbed the pen in his hand and looked embarrassed.

He has the high level of cultural people of this era, and in this era when serious literature is the mainstream, Luo Chengxun asked him to write martial arts novels, which is really difficult.

"It's better than this." Chen Wentong pondered for a moment, still did not nod, but chose a compromise method, "I knew a friend surnamed Cha when I was in Ta Kung Pao, you can try him." ”

Luo Chengxun didn't think about it and shook his head directly: "Speaking and writing articles, I can only trust you now, even if you let your friend take over, it will be a matter of the future, you have to help me get through this difficulty in the early stage." ”

Seeing that the editor-in-chief Luo Chengxun had a firm attitude, Chen Wentong lit a cigarette and took a few puffs, and only frowned for a while before asking, "Do you have to do it?" ”

Luo Chengxun didn't speak, but looked at him and nodded heavily.

"Give me three days, and I'll try to write it." Chen Wentong shook his head and spewed out two smoke dragons from his nostrils, "But I really can't guarantee that there will be a well-written biography of the Ming heroes in the China Hong Kong Daily, although the young man named Su Jingxian has immature writing, but his ideas are wild, and it is not so easy to snatch readers from his newspaper." ”

Hearing that he was willing to help, Luo Chengxun's eyes showed joy, and he didn't take his respect for the Ming Heroes to heart at all, but quickly clapped: "Okay!" It was settled, and three days later, our new evening newspaper also began to serialize martial arts novels. ”

Without giving Chen Wentong a chance to retort, Luo Chengxun snatched the pen in Chen Wentong's hand, brushed a little bit, and wrote a line of big characters on the blank Arabian Nights column of the newspaper proof.

This newspaper will begin to publish Mr. Chen Wentong's martial arts novels in three days.

Chen Wentong was amused by his movements, shook his head slightly, took the pen from Luo Chengxun's hand, thought about it, crossed out the three words Chen Wentong he wrote, and wrote a new name below.

Liang Yusheng.

Chen Bingzhong, the editor-in-chief of the China Hong Kong Daily, is now dressed up and is more particular than when the newspaper was first published. There is a pair of gold-wire glasses made in the United States hanging on the bridge of his nose, and his head-to-toe clothes are tailor-made in a tailor-made tailor-made shop owned by Huangpu people.

However, when Su Jingxian came to the editor-in-chief's office and told Chen Bingzhong about his idea of preparing to run a magazine, Chen Bingzhong's calm temperament was suddenly swept away.

"Running a magazine? Nakashi going to the United States? Boss, are you having hysteria? Chen Bingzhong's eyes widened, and the expression of surprise on his face was even worse than when Su Jingxian heard that his brother wanted to become a police officer.

Seeing that several employees outside the door were attracted by Chen Bingzhong's loud voice and looked into the office curiously, Su Jingxian rolled his eyelids and said to him helplessly: "You can't be quiet?" ”

Chen Bingzhong waved his hand and smoothed his chest: "It's not a matter of whether to be quiet or not, boss, I was really made by you and couldn't stand it, how could you think of engaging in magazines?" ”

"To make money, of course." Su Jingxian glanced at Chen Bingzhong and said as a matter of course, "I was going to give it a try in the film industry, but later I found that the speed at which China Hong Kong Daily makes money is not as fast as the speed at which making movies burns money, so I don't plan to start one or two magazines to make money first." ”

Chen Bingzhong was choked by his understatement and didn't speak for a long time.

Making money running a magazine? It is already a miracle that China Hong Kong Daily can become popular now, could it be that the young boss in front of him wants to create an even bigger miracle.

"Even though you're the boss, I still don't agree with this." As soon as Chen Bingzhong spoke, he also felt a little weaker, and pointed to the newly recruited deputy editor-in-chief on the side, and said, "Ah Huan, you explain to the boss that the magazine industry is a ghost now." ”

Zhou Huan, the newly recruited deputy editor-in-chief of China Hong Kong Daily, laughed dryly, looked at Chen Bingzhong, and then looked at the boss Su Jingxian, and said: "Although the magazine industry is in a downturn as a whole, it is not impossible to do it, for example, Fengyue magazine, which writes salty and wet stories, is selling well, and movie magazines are also beginning to emerge, so it may not be impossible to do ......."

"Pick! I'll let you persuade the boss, not let you speak for him! Chen Bingzhong couldn't help but burst into foul language when he heard Zhou Huan and Xi Ni talking, and interrupted without waiting for him to finish.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Su Jingxian smiled for a long time, he completely understood Chen Bingzhong and Zhou Huan's completely different state of mind at this time.

Compared with Chen Bingzhong, who joined the newspaper before the establishment of the China Hong Kong Daily, he naturally has a special affection for the newspaper, so even if Su Jingxian is the owner of the newspaper, for the benefit of the newspaper, Chen Bingzhong can directly refute the boss's opinion.

The new deputy editor-in-chief, Zhou Huan, is different, Zhou Huan is here to find a job, and the boss and the editor-in-chief disagree, and there is no doubt that he will speak to the boss who is responsible for paying the salary.

"Come on! Deputy Editor Zhou, you go out first, I have other things to talk to Uncle Zhong. Seeing that Chen Bingzhong was still glaring at Zhou Huan, Su Jingxian patted Zhou Huan, who was embarrassed, and opened his mouth to prop him out of the office.

When there were only Chen Bingzhong and himself in the office, Su Jingxian sat on the chair, looked at Chen Bingzhong, who was still calm, and said with a smile: "Sit down and drink a cup of tea!" Do you really think I want to start a magazine on a whim? Of course, it's planned! ”
