016 [The First Pot of Gold]

The Oriental Daily building, which has been particularly lively these days, has seen its newspaper become the best-selling newspaper in Hong Kong again, which has kept its employees motivated – as sales have steadily increased and advertising revenue has increased, so will their salaries.

It was in this atmosphere that Kang Jianfei once again stepped into the door of the newspaper.

Kang Jianfei walked leisurely to the elevator, and suddenly a person next to him shouted: "Kang Jianfei, Kang Jianfei is here!" ”

Kang Jianfei turned his head to look, but it was Yun Bo, a young reporter from the "Oriental Daily" who showed him the way that day, and this thing was like seeing the God of Wealth, rushing towards Kang Jianfei.

Hearing Yunbo's shout, the newspaper employees on the first floor quickly gathered and surrounded Kang Jianfei.

"This is the Kang Jianfei who wrote "Looking for Qin"?"

"So young, I thought Kang Jianfei was at least 40 years old."

"And she is also very beautiful, much more handsome than Ni Kuangke."

"Mr. Kang, in Chapter 7, will Xiang Shaolong use the Mo family's sword technique to exert his might?"

"Mr. Kang, can I do an interview for you?"

“……”

The employees of the newspaper said every word, blocking Kang Jianfei's way to death, making him unbearable.

It stands to reason that these employees have not seen celebrities, and they should not come over to watch Kang Jianfei with such a fuss. It's just that Kang Jianfei is really too mysterious and legendary: an unknown guy who doesn't know his origin suddenly brings "Oriental Daily" back to life with a novel, which is like a novel in itself.

What's more, as an employee of "Oriental Daily", Kang Jianfei has brought them very real benefits.

"Borrowed, borrowed, excuse me!" Kang Jianfei had a smile on his face, but his hand was not small, he forcibly pushed away the person in front of him and squeezed into the elevator stiffly.

When to be approachable and when to take a shelf, Kang Jianfei knows very clearly.

Now Kang Jianfei is in the limelight, and getting together with these ordinary newspaper employees will only weaken the halo of geniuses on his head. Appropriately be high and arrogant, as long as his words and deeds are not too excessive, these people will think more highly of him.

Ascending to the third floor with difficulty, Kang Jianfei had just raised his hand, and Yun Bo, who had been following him, had already knocked on the door of the editor-in-chief's office first.

"Please come in!" Xu Jixin's voice came from inside.

Yunbo hurriedly opened the door and reported to Xu Jixin: "Editor-in-chief, Mr. Kang is here. ”

"Kang Jianfei?" Xu Jixin didn't see Kang Jianfei outside the door, he only heard the three words "Mr. Kang", and stood up suddenly.

In the past few days, Xu Jixin and Ma Chengkun have been waiting for Kang Jianfei every day, for fear that he will directly vote "Xun Qin Ji" to other newspapers without saying a word.

Kang Jianfei walked in, stretched out his hand and smiled at Xu Jixin: "Editor-in-chief Xu, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are much more energetic." ”

"Mr. Tokang's blessing." After Xu Jixin shook hands with Kang Jianfei, he greeted with a smile, "Mr. Kang, please take a seat, I thought you weren't coming." What do you want to drink? ”

"Let's have a cup of boiled water," Kang Jianfei sat down on the leather sofa with a big sting, and said, "If I don't come today, Editor-in-Chief Xu probably won't be able to sleep at night." ”

Xu Jixin glanced at him, instructed Yun Bo to pour water, and pretended to be calm: "Mr. Kang said that he was laughing. ”

Kang Jianfei saw that he didn't take the initiative to mention the manuscript fee, so he didn't bother to speak by himself, so he simply sat there and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Just as Yunbo was pouring the water, Ma Chengkun, the chairman and general manager of the Oriental Daily, suddenly broke in. Because Kang Jianfei was hiding in the big sofa with his back to him, Ma Chengkun didn't see anyone, and asked Xu Jixin anxiously: "Uncle Xu, I heard that Kang Jianfei is here, what about others?" ”

As soon as Xu Jixin saw Ma Chengkun's anxious appearance, he knew that today's negotiations were doomed. Although Ma Chengkun is young and promising, he is still too impatient to deal with things and does not have much patience.

"Chairman, Mr. Kang is here." Xu Jixin pointed at Kang Jianfei.

Kang Jianfei's face became faster than that of June Tian, and he suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Oh, you are Chairman Ma?" You have always been my idol, you are in charge of a big newspaper at a young age, and you are simply a role model for young people. ”

Ma Chengkun saw that Kang Jianfei's attitude towards him was so respectful, his heart was quite comfortable, and he also smiled: "Where is it, Mr. Kang is a young talent, a wonderful pen stirs the Xiangjiang, and I am also a fan of Mr. Kang's books." ”

After the two talked nonsense, Ma Chengkun asked the little reporter Yunbo to go out first, and then asked straight to the point: "I want to ask Mr. Kang to continue to serialize "Xun Qinji" in "Oriental Daily", and you can make a price for the manuscript fee." ”

"Okay, Chairman Ma is really arrogant enough," Kang Jianfei clapped his hands and cheered, "Since you said so, then I can't be too stingy, just 500 yuan for 1,000 words." ”

When Xu Jixin heard this number next to him, he was so angry that he almost fell.

Ni Frame's manuscript fee in "Ming Pao" is only 180 yuan per thousand words, and Huang Yulang asked Ni Frame to write a novel for 500 yuan per thousand words, which is just speculation, not a normal market price.

Ma Chengkun was also slightly angry in his heart, but now that Kang Jianfei took the initiative, he could only hold back his anger and say, "Mr. Kang, is this manuscript fee a little too much?" ”

Kang Jianfei said earnestly: "Alas, Mr. Ma, in fact, I want so much manuscript fee for the sake of Oriental Daily." ”

Xu Jixin finally saw what it means to reverse black and white, and he called out the sky-high manuscript fee, and actually said that it was for the sake of "Oriental Daily", which is simply shameless!

Ma Chengkun asked with a stiff smile: "May I ask how Mr. Kang thinks about the newspaper?" ”

Kang Jianfei explained clearly: "First, I want a manuscript fee of 500 yuan for 1,000 words, which is only a drop in the bucket compared to the profits made by Oriental Daily in the past few days. Moreover, you can also use this topic to hype up and say that I am on par with Ni Frame's manuscript fee, and this is the second Ni Frame to be born. By the way, I forgot to tell you that I have only been swimming from the mainland for a little more than a month. ”

Ma Chengkun and Xu Jixin glanced at each other, both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and nodded slightly to each other, which can be regarded as approving Kang Jianfei's plan.

Ni Frame also swam from the mainland back then, and Ni Frame also became famous by writing novels, Kang Jianfei has too many similarities with him, plus both of them have taken a sky-high manuscript fee of 500 yuan for 1,000 words, so it is perfect to hype together.

The biggest difference between the two is that now Ni Frame is already a famous figure in the literary world, while Kang Jianfei is just a newcomer who has just debuted.

If Ma Chengkun operates properly, then "Oriental Daily" will once again become a hot topic of public opinion because of this matter, and Kang Jianfei's own fame will also skyrocket, which can be described as a win-win result.

As for Ni Frame, then I'm sorry, it can only exist as a stepping stone for Kang Jianfei to coax fame.

Kang Jianfei continued: "Second, if I am given a manuscript fee of 500 yuan for 1,000 words, I can guarantee that I will not submit articles to other newspapers within three years, and I will use Oriental Daily as the first choice for publishing novels within five years. ”

Ma Chengkun and Xu Jixin are happy, Kang Jianfei is promising to provide an exclusive contribution to "Oriental Daily", if you calculate it, with the popularity of "Looking for Qin", the remuneration of 500 yuan per thousand words is indeed not too outrageous.

Where did they know that Kang Jianfei's writing was so bad that even if he didn't promise to write an exclusive article for "Oriental Daily", it would be impossible for him to write other novels within two years - writing a "Quest for Qin" had already made Kang Jianfei vomit blood.

Just when Ma Chengkun was about to agree, Kang Jianfei suddenly said: "But I have one condition, I hope that "Oriental Daily" can advance all my remuneration of 750,000 Hong Kong dollars, and I am going to write 1.5 million words for this play." ”

Xu Jixin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, absolutely not." To put it mildly, if Mr. Kang turns around with this money and runs back to the mainland, who will we ask for the manuscript? ”

"How about 500,000?" Kang Jianfei was also asking for a sky-high price just now, but now it has suddenly dropped by one-third, so as to give the other party a feeling of taking advantage.

Ma Chengkun hesitated for a while and asked, "Is Mr. Kang in a hurry to use the money?" If there's anything I need help with, I'm here to help. ”

Kang Jianfei replied, "How is this?" I'll give you 500,000 words of novel manuscript first, and you will advance my 500,000 yuan in remuneration. ”

Xu Jixin was still thinking about it, but Ma Chengkun was much more simply and bold, and only hesitated for half a minute, and then said to Kang Jianfei: "It's decided like this, I don't know if Mr. Lu Daokang's novel manuscript has been brought?" ”

"Chairman Ma is really a person who does big things," Kang Jianfei patted the fart who didn't want the capital, and took out a pile of manuscript paper from his bag, "The 500,000 manuscripts are here." ”

An hour later, the two sides successfully signed the contract.

Kang Jianfei got a cash check of 500,000 yuan as he wished, and was about to take it to the bank for transfer, but he heard Ma Chengkun say: "Mr. Kang, how about a cup of tea together?" ”

"Okay, Chairman Ma invited, it's an honor." Kang Jianfei stopped.

The two ended up not going for tea, but found a café to sit down.

The reason why Ma Chengkun invited Corporal Lixian to Kang Jianfei for coffee was because he thought Kang Jianfei was very interesting and would definitely be famous in the future.

How many local citizens in Hong Kong are now struggling all their lives to save the 500,000 yuan to buy a house? A mainland boy earns 500,000 yuan a month after coming to Hong Kong, which can only be described as a genius.

Although Ma Chengkun is young and impatient, he has a quality that the experienced Xu Jixin cannot compare, that is, he does not stick to small sections, and he does not care about suffering such a small loss. Making a good relationship with Kang Jianfei before he really made a career is equivalent to adding a layer of protection to the future "Oriental Daily".

When Ni Frame was just an ordinary editor of a magazine, he also began to write martial arts novels with the encouragement and support of Jin Yong, and the friendship between the two was unbreakable, and the Wesley series was only serialized in "Ming Pao" for more than ten years.

Ma Chengkun is not small, he sees himself as the Jin Yong of the year, and Kang Jianfei as the Ni frame of the year!

The two are not very familiar with each other now, and they didn't talk about work and personal topics, but they talked about each other for a while, anyway, they were hypocritically praising each other for a while.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Kang Jianfei suddenly said: "Now that Hong Kong is very profitable to make movies, has Mr. Ma ever thought about investing in making movies?" ”

"I don't make movies," Ma Chengkun shook his head again and again, "The movie thing is too risky, a friend of mine invested 1 million yuan to make a movie last year, but it was released in the cinema for five days, and the box office was only more than 3,000 yuan." ”

Kang Jianfei was disappointed for a while, he still had the idea of investing in Ma Chengkunla to make a movie, and now he can only find another way.
