Chapter 12 A hundred schools of thought contend
"Stinky boy, are you finally willing to call back?" As soon as Qin Wenqin received Xu Zheng's call, he directly reprimanded him with his head and face, and then directly snorted coldly, "Did you call for money?" ”
When Xu Zheng heard this, he said, "I am really your biological son, and I can't hold back any ideas." ”
"You stinky boy, you asked you to call when you arrived at school to report that you were safe, but it took more than half a month to call me."
Xu Zheng is embarrassed... Unlike ordinary families, as the only child in the family, his father is amiable to him, not as serious as other people's fathers. On the contrary, his mother was more like the father of other families, she was quite strict with him since he was a child, and she was never soft on education.
Fortunately, Xu Zheng was competitive, and there was not much rebellion, and he was the champion of the magic capital during the college entrance examination, which was the pride of the whole family.
After entering the university, his mother Qin Wenqin is no longer as strict with him as before, but has a sense of letting Xu Zheng develop freely. On the contrary, my father would sometimes call him to talk about social experiences and, of course, literature.
Xu Zheng knew that his father had always hoped that he would inherit the other party's profession and become the editor-in-chief of online novels.
Xu Zheng's family situation is not complicated, his father and mother are still alive, his grandmother and grandparents died one after another when he was young, and there are a bunch of relatives in addition to this. And Xu Zheng was born in a scholarly family, of course, he said that he had gold on his face.
After his father Xu Heqing was invited in his early years, he became the editor-in-chief of "Mountains and Rivers" magazine, and gradually became the editor-in-chief, and then began to be excluded by the boss's son. As for the reason, it is naturally because the boss's son wants to inherit the position of editor-in-chief... Simply, Xu Heqing resigned and left very happily when he learned of this.
In fact, Xu Zheng always heard his father complain at home that the boss was short-sighted, the magazine sales had not been raised, and he had not listened to the suggestions, he had long wanted to resign, but he had not mentioned it because of the situation.
Now that the boss is unkind, don't blame him for being unjust.
After Xu Heqing resigned, he was not depressed, but turned to online novels.
Huaxia National Online Novel Website is not a monopoly. is in a state of contention, of course, even if a hundred schools of thought contend, there are only a few very strong.
One is, one is fantasy bookland, and the last one is creative literature.
After the three novel websites, they are all huge capital groups, and no one can help anyone. And when the three websites were fighting secretly, other novel websites, large and small, were also stealing food below.
Xu Zheng's father, Xu Heqing, is one of the stealers, and because of the relationship between the editor-in-chief in his early years, Xu Heqing's connections are still very strong. So he soon attracted investment, plus some capital he had accumulated, and directly became the editor-in-chief and general manager of the new website.
And Juxian does not avoid relatives, and his mother Qin Wenqin is also the editor-in-chief of the website, of course, she was dug up by her father. You must know that Qin Wenqin was the editor-in-chief of the huge traffic channel of creating literature and controlling the city before...
For nearly a year, both parents have been busy with the website, so although they are very clear about Xu Zheng's actions in college, they are not stopped.
But this time, when Xu Zheng asked his family for money again, Qin Wenqin said in a slightly heavy tone, "Stinky boy, if you want to be an animation director, your father and I won't stop you, but if you look at how much money has been voted out in the past year and a half, you can't even touch an award, do you think this road can still be walked?" ”
Animate, the cost is huge, and the future is not in sight! Because you're never going to know what your audience wants to see.
Hearing this, Xu Zheng's heart sank, and he said cautiously, "Mom, is something happening at home?" ”
When he asked for money in the past, a phone call came, and Qin Wenqin directly asked him how much he wanted, and when he said the number, he would reply to him after more than ten seconds.
Turned.
What now? Xu Zheng was a little worried.
Qin Wenqin regretted it after speaking, she felt that Xu Zheng was still a child and should not bear the pressure of adults, but she had already said that she couldn't take it back. sighed and said, "Haven't your dad and I been engaged in online literature for nearly a year?" The 'Shaoshu Street' website established before was originally doing well, but in the second round of investment, the boss of your father said that he didn't want to continue to invest. ”
Qin Wenqin's tone was quite helpless, but Xu Zheng also knew what had happened.
Online literature itself is a slow-burning industry, and the establishment of a new online novel website must be in a state of loss in the early stage.
Because the new website is established, it is necessary to go to other novel websites to pull boutique authors and great god authors, so as to bring the traffic of online novels... And since it's a pull, the price naturally can't be lower than the price of those authors on the original novel website, otherwise why should others follow you?
And the periodicity of the novel is also very long, from the author's opening of the book, recommendation to the shelf, this comes and goes for two months, and during this period, the author is constantly pulled.
In other words, there will be a loss.
This situation was known to an investor who did not understand the online novel industry, and naturally withdrew his investment. Capital only wants visible benefits, and it is in a state of loss for a year, and it is difficult to be optimistic again.
Knowing this, Xu Zheng's heart was heavy.
"By the way, how much are you going to get?" After Qin Wenqin finished speaking, there was a lot of negative emotions in his heart, and then he smiled, "Don't worry, your father has contacted several bosses recently, and I heard that they are all interested in investing." ”
Hearing this, Xu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Mom, you always scare me!" ”
"Whoever told you not to call back every day, you don't know how to care about your parents, if I don't scare you, you don't know to call back."
"I'm still 30,000 short... I plan to make a fifteen-minute short story to participate in the 'Spring Cup' at Station B, and it is best to get a ranking. I heard that last year's 'Spring Cup' Gold Medal had a prize of 800,000 yuan! ”
"If you can win a bronze award, your father and I will burn high incense." Qin Wenqin directly poured a basin of cold water, which made Xu Zheng smile bitterly, and it didn't make people have any hope!
"Okay, the money has been transferred to you, it's not enough! If your dad calls you recently, you can comfort him. ”
"No problem." Xu Zheng smiled, "Mom, that's nothing, I'll hang up first." ”
"Get out!"
The sound of busy beeps came, making him cry and laugh. But after just a while, Xu Zheng's face gradually became heavy, he knew that his mother was lying to himself, but he just didn't want to worry about himself.
It's just that he can't help much at this stage, and he is powerless to let Xu Zheng know that if he can get the gold medal of the 'Spring Cup', he can only help his family if he can win the bronze award.
Although he didn't know if those bonuses would allow his family to tide over the difficulties, Xu Zheng knew that this was the only thing he could do.
When he was thinking about it, Xu Zheng's mobile phone rang, and when he saw that it was his mother, could something have happened again?
With a solemn expression, I heard my mother speak.
"In the future, remember to call home often, and like this time, be careful that I withhold your living expenses."
Xu Zheng was speechless.
