The corners of Edison's mouth twitched as he finished reading Hans Christian Andersen's story, when suddenly his eyes rolled and he said, "Editor Green, or ...... How about we eat in the staff cafeteria here at noon?"

Ge Lin hesitated and shirked: "This is not good!, it's rare for you to come here once, how embarrassed to invite you to eat in the cafeteria, this is too lazy, how can I go carelessly." ”

But after speaking, he was a little moved by Edison's suggestion in his heart, after all, he was just an ordinary person, although the income from work outside the circle was high, but the consumption of food, clothing, housing and transportation was also high, and if he could solve a meal in the canteen, he could also save a sum of money.

As if seeing his inner thoughts, Edison said something to the end: "It's okay, it's okay! I also want to experience life here, and I heard that the canteen here has good food, so I won't let you break the bank, by the way, I have an idea, I need to chat with a few other people while eating, or call the three of them at noon and eat together in the canteen!"

Greene pretended to be embarrassed and shirked a few more words, and when he saw that Edison still insisted, he agreed. Seeing that he agreed, Edison also hurriedly sketched a few strokes on the magic letter paper and notified the other three to come to dinner together.

Then the two of them came to the corner of the stairs on the 8th floor, and entered a room with simple decoration, which was the entrance to the Rubik's Cube on the 8th floor, although this thing served a lot like the elevator in Edison's previous life. However, it does not run straight up and down like an elevator, but moves like a Rubik's cube, hence its name.

You must know that the West Continent Branch of the "Yueli" Publishing House has 26 floors, and after the overlapping space, it can accommodate more than 10,000 people every day. Thousands of departments are working at the same time, without this thing. Just by walking, some people go from entering the door to work in their own department. You have to spend most of the day walking.

And following Greene Lin step into it, Edison looked up and saw a small operating table in the Rubik's Cube room, on which there was a three-dimensional three-dimensional coordinate system, only to see Greene skillfully press the three numbers 16 (number of floors), 7 (roundabout), and 13 (the 13th room on the left), and the Rubik's Cube went directly to the staff canteen of the "Reading Reason" publishing house.

7 or 8 seconds later, a "ding dong" sounded, Edison didn't feel any vibration, and the two came to the staff cafeteria.

As soon as he went out, Edison felt an enticing aroma of food coming to his face. His index finger moved.

With the particularity and treatment of the outside area, the dishes in the staff canteen here are definitely not bad, and because of the proximity to the coastal area, there are a lot of fresh and attractive seafood here for everyone to choose freely.

There are fat clams from the tidal flats, chewy white shrimp from the open sea, and purple kelp from the coastal waters...... The variety of delicious food is not much inferior to that of ordinary restaurants, and most importantly, as an employee benefit, the prices here are very affordable, as long as one employee has an employee card, one or two people can take it. Self-service pick-up for 30 silver coins per person.

And it may be because the people who can enter the publishing house have been screened and have a good relationship, although there are a lot of people coming and going, it is not noisy at all. Even if there is a conversation, most of them keep their voices down and do not disturb others.

So it's a very comfortable place to eat. Everyone took their plates in an orderly manner and chose what they needed. Some people say that it is a test of whether a company has a sound internal system. The talent is reasonable and well-qualified, depending on the order shown by his employees in his cafeteria. Undoubtedly, the publishing house has done an excellent job in this regard.

A few minutes later, Brothers Grimm and Andersen, who had received the notice, also came to the staff cafeteria.

During the meal, Edison couldn't help but whisper to a few people about his plans.

......

As Edison ates, he asks, "Have you noticed that the circulation of the 'Nonsense' series has stabilized recently, and there has been no explosive growth for a long time?"

Ge Lin, who has always been the most sensitive to this, raised his eyebrows and said: "What you say is indeed true, after decades of development and transformation, the 'nonsense' series of publications has also reached a bottleneck period, why do you have any thoughts as a great writer?"

Edison shook his head and said modestly: "I can't say what I think, but I just read the fairy tales written by these people today, and I found that the series of 'Nonsense' has done a good job in terms of surprise, and the stories are all kinds of bizarre, but after all, it still has to be a bit of a mainstream thing." For example......"

As he spoke, Edison slowly told the story of the original "The Ugly Duckling" with slight changes.

After listening to it, Andersen immediately wrote it in the notebook he carried with him, and soon a small note was handed over, which read: [But doesn't this story still tell us the importance of bloodline qualifications?

Looking at Hans Christian Andersen's actions, Edison couldn't help complaining: "You're not a cute girl, it's not cute at all, but it's stupid!"

Ignoring Andersen's suddenly frozen face, Edison said solemnly: "You didn't write it like this! You see, in the story I just told, the concentrated thing is that the ugly bird faced difficulties, did not give up, still insisted on working hard, and finally inspired the story of the Warcraft bloodline! The key is to embody the two words of hard work and persistence! The sense of existence of the bloodline has been reduced to a minimum, isn't it?"

"In the future, we will also show a little positive energy in our stories!"

At this time, Jacob, the eldest of the Brothers Grimm, said: "Well! That's true! The word 'positive energy' is very well expressed in the word 'stranger'! After all, the mainstream literature that praises beauty and romance is more popular, and many of our articles are evaluated by readers as novelty and curiosity, but if you suddenly want to transform the magazine, wouldn't it be easy to be unpleasing to both ends?"

William also hurriedly nodded and echoed his brother's words, and added: "And the 'nonsense' series has been stereotyped in the eyes of readers, and suddenly incorporating things that don't match the word 'nonsense' is easy to cause readers to abandon the subscription and reduce sales!"

As the editor-in-chief, Greene was more nimble, and said, "Do you mean we're going to start another series?"

Edison smiled and said: "It's a little bit of a meaning, in fact, what I mean is that we can make a little change to the original story and adapt it into a sub-publication like "The King of Fairy Tales", and send it out as a bonus to "Talking Fairy Tales", and see the response!"

"But we want to note on it that this reading is suitable for 3~6-year-old children to enlighten, listen to it before going to bed, what do you think?" After speaking, Edison told a few stories such as "Tortoise and Hare Race" and "Little Red Riding Hood" that were slightly altered from the original as evidence.

At this time, Andersen handed over another note: [The story has changed well, but this is a lot of money, and now we have a circulation of more than 10 million copies per issue!

Seeing this question, Edison said confidently: "No, I also visited the printing room of the publishing house here just now, in fact, we can completely abandon the hardcover paper and the page size of the periodical, and use the remaining leftovers to print a batch of pamphlets that are only about one-third the size of the original periodical." ”

"When we are supplemented, we just need to write the above stories a little shorter, pick a few widely circulated stories, and reverse them and write them, can't we?"

"And we can add a short questionnaire and let people who want to read it mail the questionnaire back to see if they like to tell the stories in "The King of Fairy Tales" to their children, and families who buy books are generally willing to mail the questionnaire!"

As soon as Greene heard this idea, he couldn't help but be afraid of the table and said, "Okay! That's it, I'll write a plan report and hand it in when I go back, and let this proposal pass as soon as possible!"

William frowned at this time and said, "Then isn't it a bit cunning for us to do this and hide the truth?"

Jacob retorted: "There is nothing cunning or not cunning, we are just magnifying the positive action, and isn't there a copy of "The Blind Mage" next to it?

Edison also agreed: "Yes! That's what I said! Although hard work may not be rewarded, but if you don't work hard, it must not change, and qualification can be innate, but in the future, this thing always needs to work hard to develop for the better." ”

"This is actually a bit similar to ordinary people struggling all their lives and hoping that future generations can live in the outer circle, isn't it?"

After saying this, the four of them, who were ordinary people, were silent for a moment, obviously remembering the experience of themselves or their parents in the previous generation, and they felt it for a while.

......

Seeing that the atmosphere had become dull, and suddenly as if something interesting had come to mind, Edison deliberately lowered his voice and said, "And...... Don't you look forward to what the look on the faces of those children who have watched "The King of Fairy Tales" since they were young and see the completely different stories on "Fairy Tales" after they go to school?"

After speaking, Edison looked at the four of them with frowns!

Suddenly the four of them ...... Oh no...... Counting Edison is five people, the corners of their mouths are upturned, revealing a row of white teeth flashing with cold light, if you want to add another animation effect, the five people must have an extra demon horn on their heads, a pair of bat wings on their backs, and an extra spade-shaped tail on their tail vertebrae!

Involuntarily, the people near the staff cafeteria were a little far away from their tables. All the people who saw the tacit smiles of the five people also shivered for some reason! But they were still wondering in their hearts: "It's strange, the staff restaurant obviously has a temperature control magic array, why does it still feel cold!" (To be continued.) )

PS: Well, I have a chapter in my hand for a long time, and if I save another chapter, I can go to the thesis defense with peace of mind!
