Chapter 29: Letters from Readers

29

On this day, Chen Beiming got up early and got up at five o'clock.

He first did a physical workout on the playground of the General Political Department, first five kilometers, then pull-ups, push-ups, and then a 100-meter sprint in ten consecutive sets.

His requirement for himself is that although he is only a literary soldier, he must be on par with those guys in the Sword Commando in terms of physical fitness and military quality, and he dare not say that he is on an equal footing with them, but at least he can't fall too far behind.

That's why he needs to exercise at such a high intensity.

After he finished all the workouts out of breath, the other literary soldiers slowly came to the playground for jogging.

After washing up, he turned on the computer and typed for more than an hour.

As he becomes more and more familiar with the input method of this world,His writing speed is getting faster and faster,At this moment,If you are in a good state, there is no problem at all to knock four or five thousand an hour。

This morning, he planned to go to the military newspaper to find Zhang Wenhua, the editor-in-chief.

Zhang Wenhua asked him to write some articles about the spirit of Liangjian, and he had already written a few articles, but whether they met the requirements or not, he had to personally send them to Zhang Wenhua's editor-in-chief for review to know.

So he had to type out 10,000 words first, and completed the creation task of today's "Bright Sword".

But before he could go out to find Zhang Wenhua, Ma Youwei's call came.

"Xiaoshan, are you free this morning? Come to me. ”

"Okay, I'll be right there." Chen Beiming nodded.

He immediately went out and took a taxi straight to the editorial office of October.

Knock knock.

He knocked on the door and shouted, "Teacher Ma." ”

"Xiaoshan, here, come in." Ma Youwei stood up with a bright smile.

He helped Chen Beiming to sit down on the sofa, then went out and carried a large bag of things and handed it to Chen Beiming: "Here, yours." ”

Chen Beiming was a little strange: "Teacher Ma, what is this?" ”

"Won't you see for yourself?"

Chen Beiming opened his pocket and looked at it, but it was a letter from a reader.

So much?

I'm afraid there will be more than a thousand!

He took out a random one, opened it and looked at it, only to see that it read: "Hello Mr. Xiaoshan, I am a reader of "Bright Sword", I am a sixty-five-year-old veteran, I accidentally saw "Bright Sword" in "October" magazine, I like it very much, I can't put it down, Mr. Xiaoshan, you really write the spirit of our generation of soldiers alive!" ”

One letter after another, it is such a warm letter from these readers.

Chen Beiming opened a few envelopes and looked at them, and his heart gradually became excited.

He was very touched that "Bright Sword" could be liked and supported by so many people, and at the same time, he hoped more and more that he could write the whole novel as soon as possible and share it with everyone.

"Xiaoshan, drink water." Ma Youwei handed over a cup of tea, paused, and said, "Xiaoshan, I have an idea, do you think it's okay?" Because you are a newcomer and do not have a loyal readership, I think you can write an article on these letters, and you can reply to these readers one by one, which will not only increase everyone's love for you, but also mobilize everyone to support you and vote for you, so that your chances of winning the essay competition can be greatly increased. ”

That's a good idea.

Chen Beiming listened and nodded secretly.

He is a newcomer and has no readership, so replying to readers in person is a shortcut to quickly get support, the only difficulty is that there are too many letters, and it is a bit difficult to reply one by one.

"Xiaoshan, I'll give you an idea, you can go to the university and recruit a few college students to reply to your letter, or, simply use the computer to type a reply, then make a copy, and finally sign your name."

But Ma Youwei's proposal was rejected by Chen Beiming.

It's not sincere, but it's not sincere.

Since his goal is to get everyone's support, and he hopes that these readers will support him wholeheartedly, then he naturally has to pay 100% sincerity.

"Mr. Ma, I want to reply to these readers in person." Chen Beiming said seriously.

"Personally? One by one? Ma Youwei's eyes widened: "This workload is not small!" ”

"It's not small! But that's all I can do to get everyone's support. It's a big deal to only sleep two or three hours a day and fight for days on end! Chen Beiming replied seriously.

Ma Youwei looked at him seriously, looked at it for a while, and nodded: "Okay, since you have decided, then I support you." Although I gave you an idea, but to tell you the truth, you are the best to do it, readers are not so easy to fool, if you want to get their sincerity, you have to exchange your own sincerity. ”

Ma Youwei patted him: "Come on, you can tell me if you need any support." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Ma."

"Actually, it's me who wants to say thank you, because of you, I saw hope." Ma Youwei sighed softly.

After a pause, Ma Youwei suddenly remembered something and seemed to pat his head: "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, after your article "Comrades, Bright Sword" was published in the military newspaper, we received a lot of calls from the troops, and they asked us for this issue of the magazine, and many of them have booked the next issue, and next month, our sales can increase by at least ten percent." ”

But when Chen Beiming heard this, he frowned: "It's only ten percent?" ”

The reason why he is not satisfied is because the system has set him the task of winning the grand prize, and if the sales do not go up, the number of readers will not go up, and in the end, the support he can get will not go up.

However, these Ma Youwei didn't know, Ma Youwei listened to his words, and was stunned: "Xiaoshan, won't you?" You're not happy with that? Do you know what 10 percent means for a magazine like ours? For so many years, we have been working hard every year, and we can increase sales by a few tenths of a percent, and your article has increased by 10%, which is a great innovation! ”

But Chen Beiming still shook his head, frowned and thought for a while, he raised his head and asked, "Teacher Ma, according to your estimate, what is the probability of winning the grand prize now." ”

"If you can really publish an article in the military newspaper for a few days in a row, and then the publicity and promotion of our magazine can be carried out smoothly, then I estimate that the probability of your victory over Li Mingyu should reach 20 percent!"

"Only twenty percent?" When Chen Beiming heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter.

After being silent for a moment, he looked at Ma Youwei and said, "Teacher Ma, then you can help me think about it again and see what else I can do, or in other words, what other aspects should I work hard to successfully win the grand prize!" ”

Ma Youwei looked at Chen Beiming blankly as if he didn't know Chen Beiming, and after a while, he sighed: "Xiaoshan, although I don't want to say this, I still have to let you calm down, if you want to win the grand prize, it's really impossible!" ”
