Text Chapter 117, Blocking the Door
The headquarters of "Xingchen Daily" has been particularly busy in the past few months, because relying on "Xun Qin Ji" to lay a good foundation, coupled with the popularity of "The Legend of Shuanglong of the Tang Dynasty", the daily sales of "Xingchen Daily" have now exceeded the daily sales record of 120,000 copies, and entered the top three newspapers in Hong Kong.
And it also has the strength to challenge Hong Kong's largest newspaper, Oriental Daily. It can be said that both old and new employees are highly motivated - after the sales skyrocket, the advertising revenue will naturally increase significantly, and the treatment of employees will also be improved accordingly.
However, in the past two days, "Xingchen Daily" has been relatively idle, and many editors and reporters have put down their work and paid attention to the scene in front of them every day, and the boss Li Rui didn't say anything!
In fact, it is easy to understand that in addition to the popular novels, the sales of newspapers also rely on those news that attract attention, such as "Oriental Daily", which likes to publish those lace news or exclusive news to attract attention.
It is said that at the end of the 60s, when the "Oriental Daily" was just founded, in order to stimulate the sales of the newspaper, the Ma brothers deliberately used their identity as an underworld to publish some criminal activities of their association, such as underworld rushes, drug trafficking and other crimes, in the newspaper as quickly as possible afterwards to attract the attention of the public.
And now the hottest topic in Hong Kong is "The Legend of the Tang Double Dragon" and the blockage incident caused by the "Legend of the Tang Shuanglong", it can be said that the reporters of the "Star Daily" do not need to go out to conduct interviews, in fact, not only the "Star Daily" but also the reporters of other newspapers are also gathered at the door of the Star Newspaper.
"It's spectacular! There are so many people! Looking at the thousands of people who were pulling banners and constantly protesting, Zhong Chuhong couldn't help but sigh.
As the saying goes, when there are more than 10,000 people, there is no boundless, and the protesting readers, the lively citizens, the police who maintain order, and the small traders and vendors who sell things, the crowd at the door of the "Star Daily" exceeds 10,000 people, and there is no edge at a glance, and there are several streets that are congested.
"Lei Shao, Miss Zhong, go this way, now the main gate can't enter at all, we have to go through the path when we go to work now, and enter the company through the basement!" Chen Haiming explained as he led the way.
Under the leadership of Chen Haiming, Lei Weidong and Zhong Chuhong walked around left and right before entering the newspaper.
"Haha, Brother Lei, you're here! I haven't been coming to see my brother lately! Seeing Lei Weidong coming, Li Rui was very enthusiastic.
"Stay away from me, I'm not glass, what I like is beauty, you have too few beauties, of course I come less!" Lei Weidong stretched out his hand to block Li Rui's hug, and pretended to be angry and said:
"It's easy to like beautiful women, I'll find a few little stars to come over and let my brother open his eyes, if I can't look down on little stars, it's the same to find a few beautiful reporters! I'm recruiting a lot of new people here! Regarding Lei Weidong's actions, Li Rui was not angry and deliberately laughed:
"No, no, Brother Li should talk about business!" Lei Weidong, who wanted to talk again, found that a small hand had been pinched on his waist, and hurriedly changed his words.
Although Zhong Chuhong's movements were hidden and were also seen by others, all the people present were old rivers and lakes, and no one broke it, and his tone changed to talk about the things in front of him.
"Brother Lei! Look at me here, you're in trouble! Although Li Rui's tone was very heavy, he was obviously happy to look at his expression, knowing that he was now advertising his newspaper for free, of course he was happy.
Lei Weidong walked to the window and looked at the scene in front of him, just now he couldn't see what the slogan was behind the crowd, but now he can see it clearly!
"Resurrect Fu Junzhuo! Resurrect Fu Junzhuo! ”
"Let Lei Weidong die and return the goddess to us"
"If Fu Junzhuo is not resurrected, let the author die"
.......
What made Lei Weidong speechless was that there was still a fight: "Lao Wang roasted chicken!" Delicious and inexpensive! What kind of mess is this, and the advertisements are all here.
"How's it going, Brother Lei! Seeing this scene, are you thinking about rewriting the novel? Li Rui walked over with a smile.
"How is that possible! The novel is all written and handed over to you, how to rewrite it! "Of course Lei Weidong knows that Li Rui is joking." I'm just wondering if these people are idle all day and waste time coming here to block the door! ”
"It's not all idle people, from morning to now, the crowd has changed back and forth several times! Now my brother is famous! You're now on a par with Master Jin Yongjin! I'm here to congratulate my brother first! ”
"Rejoice and rejoice! I believe my brother's newspaper sales have reached a new high! Lei Weidong responded.
"Yes, today's newspaper sales are close to the 140,000 mark, and I believe that tomorrow's sales will be even higher!" When it comes to newspaper sales, Li Rui can't help but boast.
"Brother Li, I think we should strike while the iron is hot and release the news!" Lei Weidong proposed:
"Hehe, then the old brother will offend Master Jin if he is here!" Li Rui smiled mysteriously.
"What are you talking about? How did you offend Master Jin Yongjin! Zhong Chuhong, who was standing next to him and watching the excitement, heard the dumb riddle between Lei Weidong and Li Rui, and couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing! It's my manuscript fee, which may cause the jealousy of many writers! But who made me a shareholder of the newspaper, as long as I can make money, I don't care! Lei Weidong explained with a smile:
"As long as Lei Shao thinks it doesn't matter, I don't care!" Li Rui said with a smile: "However, Lei Shao, the news that he only released a salary of 500 yuan for 1,000 words doesn't seem to be very shocking!" Do you want us to add some more, since we want to play, we will play big.
"If you want to play big, I don't care, anyway, my career is not in the newspaper industry, and those bosses just want to trouble me, it's not easy to find it! It's just that you don't have to worry about Master Jin knocking on the door! Lei Weidong said with a smile.
"As long as he can make money, I don't care if he is Master Jin or Master Huang!" Li Rui shook his head and said: "We will report according to the manuscript fee of one yuan per word, but Lei Shao, I want to say first, others will not trouble you, but Ni Frame will definitely trouble you!" ”
Ni Frame, before Lei Weidong was born, the author with the highest manuscript fee in Hong Kong except for Master Jin was also the queen writer of Ming Pao, but because of Master Jin's stinginess, although Ni Frame was famous, he could only get a manuscript fee of 300 words per 1,000 words, if Lei Weidong took a manuscript fee of 500 words per 1,000 words, Ni Frame would only ask Master Jin for an increase in the manuscript fee even if he was unhappy, and it was not a big trouble to find Lei Weidong.
However, the sky-high manuscript fee of 1,000 words and 1,000 yuan is more than three times that of Ni Frame's current situation, and with Ni Frame's arrogant temper, he will definitely criticize Lei Weidong in the newspaper.
"Ni Frame will not be so small, I didn't offend him before, and besides, Ni Frame's low remuneration is because Jin Yong is too stingy, but I heard that the remuneration of authors in Ming Pao is very low. In comparison, I still think that Master Jin's stingy ghost is more likely to trouble you. Lei Weidong looked incredulous.
"As far as I know, Ni Frame is a person with very little energy, and he is arrogant, if a long-famous master has more than him, Ni Frame may not be angry but will come to visit you and ask you for advice. But if a fledgling young man exceeds him in manuscript fees, it is estimated that he can hate people for the rest of his life! Against you for the rest of your life. As a member of a wealthy family in Hong Kong, Li Rui has a very detailed understanding of Ni Frame's temperament.
"If you do right, you will be right, he is an ordinary writer, a literati, I am afraid of what he will do!" Lei Weidong shrugged and said: "The mouth is on others, I can't control what I want to say, as long as he doesn't pass the line, I don't care, but if he crosses the line and provokes me, I will let him know why the flowers are so red!" ”
For Ni Frame, Lei Weidong, as a netizen in later generations, understands very clearly, to put it bluntly, Ni Frame is a shameless literati, he can only do anything, and if others do it, he can't.
Not to mention anything else, Ni Frame, who praised himself as a merry and talented man who often goes to bars to hunt for beauty, often criticizes those rich people who hunt for beauty in the newspaper, to put it bluntly, in Ni Frame's eyes, beauties are prepared for literati like him, doing it yourself is a good story, and others doing it is obscene and morally inferior.
Not only Ni Frame, but also his baby son, is a merry seed, a gentleman, and a second-generation Wen who picks up girls everywhere.
However, Ni Gongzi's vision is very accurate, and several well-known beauties in Hong Kong have had a leg with him. And what makes Lei Weidong most shameless is that he is obviously not highly educated, and he often uses the title of literati to make money and be romantic. Like Li Gongzi in later generations, he is a cheat.
