He Yigui and his brothers settled me in a restaurant, and then they took a taxi and left.

Before leaving, He Yigui told me: "Big brother, you can rest assured, those two guys won't be able to get out of the hospital in three months." Besides, they are all gangsters, that is, lawbreakers, they only dare to mix in the urban villages at the junction of urban and rural areas, you work here in the city center, and those bastards dare not come. You can rest assured, in case something happens, notify me at any time, I will never let you be wronged in Nanyue City! ”

Although He Yigui said so, when I think of the scene of spurting blood, I still feel scared in my heart, and I can't sleep peacefully all night.

The next day at work, as soon as I arrived at the office, Zheng Yi introduced a young man to me, saying that he was a newly recruited publisher.

The young man's name is Liu Xiaojun, a native of Jiangxi, not tall, with a dark complexion, and he is an honest man at first glance.

After introducing each other to each other, I gave him a brief introduction to the situation and the scope of work, and gave him the names and addresses of the newsstands that had been developed.

When I took over, there were a total of 22 newsstands, and after more than 20 days of hard work, when I handed over to Liu Xiaojun, there were already 35 newsstands. In other words, 35 newsstands are already selling our newspapers for each issue of our newspapers, and the print run has increased from 2,000 to 3,000.

Liu Xiaojun is indeed a down-to-earth and hard-working young man, after taking over the distribution, although the salary is not high, only 700 yuan per month, but he works tirelessly, hard work, and does his job well, which has been well received by everyone, and his own income has also increased slightly, in addition to the basic salary, the monthly issuance reward can also get three or four hundred yuan.

Of course, after all, the distribution department is in my hands, and I still have to worry about it. Every day after work, I use my free time to help Liu Xiaojun run the newsletter and constantly develop new newsstands.

Despite this, as an outsider, I still know that with an income of more than 1,000 yuan, life is still not easy for Liu Xiaojun, except for a few hundred yuan of rent, water and electricity, and the rest can only be fed.

As a result, I have been thinking about how to increase Liu Xiaojun's income.

In practice, I found a problem. Originally, the expired newspapers distributed to the newsstands were all recycled, but when they were recycled, they were piled up in the office of the distribution department, which was equivalent to being invalid and had to be sold as scrap. According to our understanding and the reaction of some newsstand owners, there is still a certain sales volume of expired newspapers, and some can still be sold.

From this, I came up with a bold idea: not to recycle, but to sell it directly to the newsstand at a reduced price.

I suggested to the newspaper that the unsold expired newspapers that had been given to the newsstand in each issue should not be recycled, but would be given to the newsstand stall owner at half price, and the stall owner's cost would be reduced, and the stall owner would be happy to make two copies by selling one. On the newspaper side, the cost of inventory has been reduced, and this part of the money can be used to reward the publisher, and the income of the publisher has also increased, and the enthusiasm for the distribution has naturally increased.

After listening to my suggestion, the editor-in-chief of Yi praised it and immediately agreed to try it out.

In this way, I have less work pressure and can free up my hands to do the editing work of the supplement section.

With a print run of 5,000, this is already a considerable achievement for a newly launched tabloid! According to sources, the print run and sales of several other new newspapers during the same period did not exceed this level. This achievement is a great encouragement to the leaders and colleagues of the newspaper, and the salary of each editor and reporter has also increased, and everyone's enthusiasm for running this newspaper is even higher.

For this reason, the newspaper decided to increase my monthly allowance of 700 yuan to 1,000 yuan, and to reward me with an additional 2,000 yuan at one time.

Editor-in-chief Yi said to me, "Don't write for other newspapers at all, and devote yourself to ours." Write more for ourselves, and our newspaper also pays for the manuscript. With your writing, you will also increase your income a lot every month. ”

I understand what Editor-in-Chief Yi meant, that is, let me stop providing column articles for Guangzhou Youth Daily.

Actually, the request of the editor-in-chief is not too much, after all, I am a member of this newspaper, but I always write for other newspapers, which is unreasonable.

I immediately approached the editor of Guangzhou Youth Daily, Mr. Qin, and told me what I thought.

Editor Qin was very reasonable and said: "This is human nature, which is completely understandable. The new Hakka column has also been open for so long, and although it has received a lot of praise, the appetite of readers has also changed, and new content is also needed, and the newspaper is also considering how to change. But you can't cut ties with us from now on, and occasionally have to give us a good manuscript. ”

I said, "That's for sure, after all, I grew up here, and without you, I wouldn't be where I am today!" ”

When I returned to the newspaper office, I reported the situation to the editor-in-chief.

Editor-in-chief Yi was very happy and said: "I just like the character of a northerner like you, decisive, and not procrastinating." ”

When I went down to the second floor, I saw that the door to the newsroom was still open.

When I walked over, I saw Zheng Yi alone, and the rest of the editors were off work.

Zheng Yi said: "It's all off work, why haven't you left yet?" ”

I said, "It's still early, and I'm not hungry, let's eat later." I can handle just a few manuscripts. ”

Zheng Yi said: "It's just right, I won't go back tonight, just stay here, I'll go to the small restaurant next to me to get two dishes, buy a bottle of wine and come back, let's have two glasses." ”

I said, "Do you live in the office?" ”

Zheng Yi said: "Yes, I rarely go home at night, I spend most of my time here, no, there is a marching bed there, which I use to sleep." It was spacious and no one was disturbed at night. Or you can simply move here, and you don't have to run to and from work, how convenient! ”

I said, "Really? ”

Zheng Yi said: "Of course it's true, I'll just talk to Editor-in-Chief Yi." Where do you live now? ”

I said, "I've been living in a small restaurant nearby for the past few days. ”

I said, "The house I used to live in has expired, so why did I just move here, and I haven't found a suitable one, so I will temporarily stay in a hotel for a few days." "I didn't dare to tell Zheng Yi the truth about the move.

I said, "The house I used to live in has expired, and I just moved here in the past few days, and I haven't found a suitable one, so I will temporarily stay in the hotel for a few days." "I didn't dare to tell Zheng Yi the truth about the move.

Zheng Yi said: "That's right, don't look for a house first, move here and live in the office, so that I can also have a companion." ”

I said, "Then if you don't go home, your family will ......."

Zheng Yi said: "A bachelor, it's the same whether you go home or not." Let's go, now I'll help you move your things, and it will cost you more than 100 yuan less to stay in the hotel for one day. ”

Because it was just a few hundred meters away and there weren't many things, the two of us made two trips to finish the move.

Zheng Yi said: "This big sofa belongs to you to sleep on, and I can have this marching bed." Then he opened a large old-fashioned wooden cabinet next to it and said, "During the day, it must be cleaned up before half past eight, and everyone comes to work at nine o'clock, so we will put our things in this cabinet." ”

I said, "You've worked hard to help me move my things, and I've saved me rent, so I'll invite you to go out for a drink." ”

Zheng Yi said: "No, this arrangement is also to facilitate you to work wholeheartedly." I'll just go get some food and wine and come back. ”

I said, "Then I'll get it!" ”
