Chapter 1006: Retirement
Entrusted by the Song Dynasty, a few days later, Ma Dudu personally traveled to Shanghai as an editor and visited President Zhou to talk about the publication of the manuscript.
Ma Dudu was originally an editor, and he is still holding a position in this area, and he can be regarded as a professional in the industry, so Wang Shuo is right, it is most suitable for him to come forward.
In order to perform this scene well, Ma Dudu also pointed out some deficiencies in the manuscript when chatting with Principal Zhou, showing excellent professionalism, and also told Principal Zhou that although it was slightly insufficient, the manuscript also had merits, and the publishing house intended to publish it, but it needed to be partially revised and improved, so he communicated with Principal Zhou.
These made Principal Zhou happy but also a little embarrassed, if he was sick, he would not have a problem before, but now he has no power to do this anymore. In view of the actual situation, Ma Dudu proposed that the publisher could revise it on his behalf, and submit the revision to President Zhou for approval before publishing. In this case, the procedure is more cumbersome, and President Zhou is required to entrust and sign, and then there is the royalty, because of the participation of the publishing house, the royalty cannot be too high, and can only be used as an ordinary one.
Principal Zhou agreed to this suggestion in one bite, and it was no longer a problem for him whether the royalty was royalty or not, and the only thing he thought in his heart was that his hard work could see the result.
In this way, Ma Dudu easily obtained the authorization of President Zhou, completed the entrustment of Song Chaoyuan, and handed over the manuscript to several professional editors for improvement after returning to Yanjing, and then arranged the follow-up work.
More than a month later, the sample book of President Zhou's manuscript was published, although the number of copies of this book was not large, only 10,000 copies, but when the sample book was delivered to President Zhou, President Zhou touched the brand new book and exuded the fragrance of ink, and was very excited.
As for the later sales, Song Chaoyuan also made arrangements and directly sent all these books to Xinhua Bookstore. The two sides reached an agreement privately, and all the proceeds from the sale belonged to Xinhua Bookstore, and Song Chaoyuan simply lost money to make money, and it was precisely because of this operation that Xinhua Bookstore would readily agree, anyway, why not do it if you don't want money to buy books that are profits?
Xinhua Bookstore has more bookstores, although 10,000 books seem to be a lot, but a dozen books in each bookstore can be easily consumed, and a dozen books on the shelves do not take up much space, once they are sold, they earn themselves, and they can also make good friends with Song Yuanchao, Wang Shuo and Ma Dudu, the leaders are not stupid, how can they not help with such a move to sell favors?
After dealing with domestic affairs, Song Dynasty rushed to Xiangjiang.
Lin Daoyuan and his wife have been in Xiangjiang for several days, and this time they came mainly to relax, and by the way, they recuperated for some time on the side of the Song Dynasty.
"It's a nice place, it's comfortable to live in." In the mid-mountain villa, Lin Daoyuan and Song Chaoyuan drank tea together, the sea breeze was not cold or hot, compared to the air in Yanjing today, the air here is much better, and it is also suitable for people of his age to retire.
"You can stay as long as you want, stay with your mother for a few more days, and you don't have anything to do now anyway." Song Chaoyuan continued to serve tea to Lin Daoyuan, and said with a smile.
Although Song Chaoyuan is not in Xiangjiang these days, Lin Yan and the others have been accompanied, Lin Yan privately told Song Chaoyuan that the reason why Lin Daoyuan agreed to come to Xiangjiang this time to relax was because he was not in a good mood to stay in Yanjing, and Lin Yan invited him several times, so Lin Daoyuan reluctantly agreed.
"Forget it, it's still so-so to live for a few days, it's not suitable to live permanently, and I'll talk about it when I return next year." Lin Daoyuan waved his hand.
"Dad, don't think about some things so much, you have retreated, why are you still a consultant now?"
"Yes, Advisor, don't ask." Lin Daoyuan said with emotion that the economy has developed rapidly in recent years, and social changes are changing with each passing day, but some things are becoming more and more different in Lin Daoyuan's eyes. Not to mention the rest, let's take the current situation of enterprise restructuring as an example, Lin Daoyuan discussed this matter with Song Chaoyuan when he was working in the Planning Commission, and later went to Soviet Province as well.
But now, the prophecy of the year has gradually come true, and the most worrying things have come out one after another, but Lin Daoyuan can't solve the problem in his eyes.
Lin Daoyuan's words, Song Chaoyuan didn't know how to take it, so he could only laugh silently.
"Aid Korea, if you let your Shenghua intervene, can you do that?" Lin Daoyuan suddenly asked.
Song Chaoyuan shook his head slightly: "Dad, no matter how big Shenghua is, it is just an enterprise, the operation of the enterprise depends on commercial means, focusing on the development and efficiency of the enterprise, without these two points, no matter how big the enterprise is, it will not be able to bear it, and once it is out of the business model, Shenghua will not be able to support no matter how thick the foundation is." ”
"Besides, some things are too complicated, and there are too many troubles involved, and I am a little ordinary person, and I can only take care of my own stall, what do you think?"
Lin Daoyuan was silent, and after a while, he didn't say anything, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea, and sighed after putting down the teacup.
In fact, whether it is Song Chaoyuan or Lin Daoyuan, they all know very well that there are some things that cannot be changed by personal will. After all, the ability of the individual is too small, and in the case of changes in the whole society, only a small part of what can be done is possible.
"Grandpa...... Grandfather! ”
"Grandpa!"
As he was talking, Mao Mao, Yang Yang and Nan Nan ran over with their legs, greeting Lin Daoyuan affectionately, and when they saw the children coming, Lin Daoyuan's worries just now disappeared instantly, and a smile appeared on his face.
I happily talked to the children for a while, asked them what their studies were, and it was the summer vacation, otherwise the children would not have time to come to Xiangjiang. Children grow up very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they gradually become teenagers from babies back then, and in a few years, when they become adults, they will be really old.
The ancestors and grandchildren chatted, Song Yuanchao watched with a smile on the side, and after a while, Lin Yan and Luo Lin also came, and they were still holding the freshly cut fruit in their hands.
"Don't mess with grandpa (grandpa) and eat fruit." Putting the fruit bowl down, Lin Yan and Rowling said to the children.
"It's okay, there's an atmosphere at home, anyway, it's a holiday, just let them relax." Don't look at Lin Daoyuan's extremely strict requirements for Lin Yan and their brothers and sisters, he has always been very majestic when he was a father, but since he became a grandfather and grandfather, Lin Daoyuan has always been very patient with the juniors, and he smiles every time he sees the children.
With the old man here, the children are not afraid of their mothers, and they are laughing and laughing to make the old man happy. Lin Yan seemed to be persuading, but Song Yuanchao on the side gave her a look, and signaled to follow the old man's wishes, and Lin Yan didn't say anything after thinking about it.
"Sister-in-law, how are your concert preparations?" Seeing the children and the old man laughing and laughing, Song Chaoyuan reached out and tasted a piece of fruit with a fork, and asked Rowling on the side at the same time.
"It's almost ready, thanks to the help of Yoko and Jeongguk, otherwise it wouldn't have gone so well." Rowling replied with a smile.
"Aren't they supposed to do this, are you really going to retire after this concert?" Song Dynasty asked.
Rowling nodded: "Actually, I wanted to retire for a long time, but it doesn't count to say retirement, but I won't participate in some activities in the future." And this concert can be regarded as an explanation for myself and the fans, I will engage in professional work in the future, and as for commercial stage and other aspects, I will basically not participate in it again. ”
"Well, that's ......." Song Chaoyuan nodded in understanding.
Rowling debuted very early, in the early eighties, she released her earliest record under the stage name of Xia Ye, and it was this record that made Rowling a hot star in China. In the second year of her fame, Rowling appeared on the stage of the first Spring Festival Gala, and then except for the period when she was pregnant and hairy, Rowling appeared on the Spring Festival Gala several times in a row and became a well-known singer.
More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and in recent years, there have been many newcomers in China, Xiangjiang and the Taiwan Strait, and now they are even more stars. In later generations, this era was known as the era of "fairy fights", and one by one popular names came at hand, leaving people with deep memories.
Compared with when she was in her twenties when she first debuted, Rowling now has passed her peak in terms of energy, physical strength, and singing. But even so, Rowling is still the first-class in the mainland, plus Rowling is also the only influential female singer in the mainland in Xiangjiang, including the Taiwan Strait, she has many unforgettable songs that have been widely circulated over the years, even if she is now the most popular so-called king and queen, Rowling is not bad in terms of influence and popularity, and she became famous earlier.
In fact, in the past two years, Rowling has been in a semi-retired state, except for some activities or stages that can't be pushed back, and her basic energy has been focused on her family.
Now she has left her original unit, as early as after Lin Yuhang went to work in Chaoxian County, after considering Rowling's second retirement, she now lives in Huhai and is a professor at the Huhai Conservatory of Music.
This time for the concert in Xiangjiang, Rowling made a lot of preparations, and at the same time, she publicly announced her retirement from the music scene through this concert. The previous one was done by President Tan in early 1988, when he announced it at the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, which caused a great sensation.
Then, in 1989, my brother made the same decision as Principal Tan, and then Chen Huixian .......
Although the so-called withdrawal from the music scene is not a real withdrawal, but no longer receiving any singing awards, their decision still surprised the world and caused a sensation.
Now Rowling has made the same choice, showing her attitude in this way.
"Linlin, don't you think it's a pity to quit so early?" Lin Yan couldn't help but persuade on the side, in her opinion, Rowling didn't need to do this at all, if she didn't want to participate in the event, she wouldn't participate, there was no need to be so clear.
"There's no pity, in fact, I also know that I'm not the best, there are many people who are stronger than me in terms of professionalism and professionalism, and the reason why I can have today's success is a fluke." Speaking of this, she glanced at Song Yuanchao, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Of course, Song Yuanchao understood what she meant, because many of the title songs that Rowling sang over the years were given to her by Song Chaoyuan, and it can be said that Rowling's success is inseparable from Song Chaoyuan's help.
Rowling continued: "I've also been tired all these years, and the atmosphere in the music industry is not very good now, I have a strong personality, besides, quitting the music scene doesn't mean that I won't sing anymore, I just don't want to be trapped by mundane things." ”
