"How about Section Chief Zhong, if there is anything that needs to be changed, just bring it up, we can withstand it!" Zhou Shengli saw that Zhong Bai didn't say the next sentence after saying the last sentence, although he felt stable when he looked at his expression, he still asked cautiously.

"Don't change it, this special issue is really doing well!" Zhong Bai directly closed the manuscript and handed it to the other party: "Editor-in-Chief Zhou, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, this special issue is written in a well-layered way, reasonable and well-founded, and I, a person who likes to pick thorns, can't even find the slightest fault!" To be honest, I have also met some big editors of big newspapers in Tiandu and Beijing, and to be honest, there is no one better than you in terms of writing attainments! ”

This compliment was a bit fierce, and Zhou Shengli immediately waved his hand in a panic and said, "Don't, Section Chief Zhong, you are tormenting me." I just have such a little ink in my stomach, how can I compare with those big newspaper editors? ”

"Hey, Editor-in-Chief Zhou, don't be modest, just talk about this one, you definitely got my thoughts at the meeting last night, and the writing is really good!" Zhong Bai slapped the table and said, "Okay, the manuscript is just set, and it will be published directly." What is the earliest time it can be printed? ”

"I've called the printer, and they're ready to work and get out in two hours at most." Zhou Shengli snapped his fingers and said.

Zhong Bai nodded and asked casually: "Is there a ready-made layout on the masthead, I'll take a look." ”

Zhou Shengli immediately took the masthead sample he had done before and handed it to Zhong Bai.

Zhong Bai looked at it, frowned, and said, "This layout is a bit rustic, I have to change it." ”

"Huh? This is already the most foreign layout of our newspaper, so ......" Hearing Zhong Bai say this, Zhou Shengli couldn't help but be a little speechless.

It's not that Zhong Bai deliberately made things difficult for the other party, after all, his aesthetic vision has been poor for more than 30 years, and the most foreign layout of "Mining Area Weekly" at this time is really too rustic in his opinion.

Not to mention the comparison with 2020, even compared with provincial newspapers such as "Tiandu Daily" of the same era, the gap is not small.

Of course, at this time, the layout of foreign media is still far ahead of China, and the big newspapers of RB and MD can now be comparable to the layout level of mainstream newspapers in China around 2000.

But hearing that Zhou Shengli's side was already doing his best, Zhong Bai thought about it and asked, "That, do you have all the tools for designing layouts here?" ”

"Yes, what's wrong Section Chief Zhong, do you want to find someone to get it?" Zhou Shengli nodded and asked.

Zhong Bai shook his head and said with a slight smile: "You don't need to find someone, I'll get it." ”

"Huh? You'll still ......! Zhou Shengli was taken aback again.

Zhong Bai didn't explain anything, just waved his hand and motioned for the other party to hurry up and get the tools.

At that time, there were few people in the institute, and Zhong Bai had also practiced it in the layout of his graduation thesis and some journals, and he had done a lot of computer software, although it could not be compared with the top graphic designers, but it was undoubtedly more than enough to meet the requirements of this era.

Don't look at Zhong Bai entangled in this layout problem, in fact, the layout of the special issue is, to a certain extent, not only a style, but also the image of a newspaper.

Since according to the plan, the "Mining Area Weekly" will be built into a professional newspaper with sufficient influence in the future, so it is necessary to do the best in every detail.

Anyway, we have to charge RB and MD 50% of the net advertising net profit reprint fee, we have to save face for it, don't we?

Holding a ruler, a drawing tablet and pen and ink, Zhong Bai showed off his design ability in the "Mining Area Weekly".

In less than half an hour, a new special issue layout that is simple and full of geometric lines was designed!

Looking at this new special issue layout, Zhou Shengli's inner worship of Zhong Bai is no longer there!

Ghosts, look at the young section chief, who can not only talk and laugh with district leaders, department leaders and department leaders at every turn, but also make RB people speechless in front of everyone, and can also design the layout of special issues?

Why do you make such a beautiful layout?

If you want to say that the layout of this special issue is made by the Beijing newspaper, Zhou Shengli doesn't dare to doubt it!

As a result, the layout and text manuscript were taken away by the working comrades as soon as possible and sent to the printing house non-stop, while Zhong Bai pulled Zhou Shengli aside and told him about the "New York Times" reprint fee, and another 10% to the columnist David.

"The New York Times? Yes! Regarding Zhong Bai's request, Zhou Shengli of course agreed unconditionally.

However, our editor-in-chief Zhou was surprised again.

I'm also a media person, and I haven't been to MD, haven't I heard of the famous "New York Times"?

In fact, when Zhong Bai said at the meeting yesterday that he could contact the big foreign media to reprint it, Zhou Shengli still had a little doubt in his heart.

In his opinion, it is possible that it is not the kind of foreign local newspaper, and it is similar to the local influence of the "Mining Area Weekly".

As for the New York Times, Zhou Shengli didn't even dare to dream of it!

You must know that this is a giant in the MD media industry for 200 years, and even a first-class old newspaper that was equivalent to the existence of MD's first official media during World War II, it is not something that can be contacted casually.

But now, Section Chief Zhong can do it with a light sentence, and even listen to his tone, and consider the "labor fee" for the acquaintances and friends over there?

This Nima, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhou Shengli would definitely have encountered a liar!

Of course, while the two were chatting, David's phone just came, and the newspaper had already asked for a translator in advance, and in front of Zhong Bai, he translated the cooperation request of the New York Times to reprint the special issue to Zhou Shengli, and the last doubt in his heart had long since disappeared!

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Bai ordered again: "Your newspaper should not have a foreign exchange account here, so the specific work of collecting the reprint fee will be handed over to the Industrial Department of the Autonomous Region, they have a foreign exchange account there." In terms of handling fees, I will go back to Director Huyan and tell you that I will try not to charge a penny from your newspaper. ”

"Don't, the handling fee must be charged! Other than that...... Do you need to take care of the Department of Industry over there? I don't have half an acquaintance, so I listen to Section Chief Zhong! Zhou Shengli hurriedly waved his hand and asked honestly.

Zhou Shengli is not pedantic, he thought to himself, this kind of borrowing the foreign exchange account of a provincial unit, where is it as simple as it is said? It doesn't matter if someone else will collect it on their behalf, and then transfer the money to the newspaper as soon as possible? Dream on!

But Zhong Bai said with a straight face: "You don't need to dot it." Don't forget, I am also a member of the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group, and it is also my scope of responsibility to let the following units cooperate with the work. You can report to your president with peace of mind, and within a week at most, these reprinting fees will be fully credited. ”
