Geng Wenyang saw that Zhuang Xiaomeng was thoughtful when he heard it, and continued with a faint smile: "The novels written by famous artists do not worry about readers, so they naturally develop the plot step by step. But I'm different, if the first three chapters don't capture the reader's heart, people won't be patient to continue reading. You say yes, right? ”

Zhuang Xiaomeng exclaimed: "Oh, what you said is really reasonable. But...... How did you come to understand this? ”

Geng Wenyang smiled and changed the subject: "I plan to write this book in two parts, and strive for about 200,000 words for each part. This can be printed in a single volume, and the printing cost can also be reduced. ”

"Wen Yang, since you are strapped for money, why don't you intercede with my father, print the book first, and then pay off the printing costs in the factory after making money." Unconsciously, Zhuang Xiaomeng had changed his title to a relatively formal Wen Yang.

Geng Wenyang said very rationally: "Sister! The ancients said: The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. My brother still has to settle accounts, and when it comes to money, I don't want to embarrass Uncle Zhuang. ”

Geng Wenyang was so self-reliant and self-reliant, always thinking about others, Zhuang Xiaomeng said emotionally: "How many copies do you plan to print?" I'll lend you money. ”

"Nope! I changed my mind. Geng Wenyang grinned and said, "Sister, that's what I think......"

"I'm going to co-write this book with you." Geng Wenyang explained carefully: "The book is written by me, but I would like to ask you to help review and transcribe it." You know my handwriting isn't good, so I'll have to find someone to help me copy it. ”

Geng Wenyang stole a glance at Zhuang Xiaomeng, and saw that she seemed to be moving, so he continued, "Your handwriting is neat and orderly, and it is best to help me copy one side." When you make money from selling books in the future, you will be given a copy fee, which will be regarded as our joint profit. Sister, you see my idea is okay, right? ”

suddenly became Geng Wenyang's partner, and he could still share the money in vain, which was no less than a huge pie falling from the sky, and it was smashed on Zhuang Xiaomeng's head impartially.

When she first joined the work, her monthly salary and subsidy were only about 80 yuan, so when she heard that there was money to be made, the girl's eyes suddenly widened with excitement.

"It's not good...... I didn't do anything. Zhuang Xiaomeng swallowed: "If you don't work, you just get money...... It's a bit embarrassing. ”

Geng Wenyang had already seen that her mind had moved, and the greedy light in her eyes, and she haha: "Don't shirk it, it's decided." ”

"I initially planned to print 1,000 copies, and each book cost about two dollars and five cents, so I needed to prepare a total of 2,500 yuan." Geng Wenyang counted with his fingers: "But I only have four hundred, so I have to find a way to borrow the rest of the money." ”

Two thousand five hundred minus four hundred, and two thousand and one remained. 2,100 yuan in 1987 is a lot of money, and ordinary people generally can't save such a huge amount of savings, so even Zhuang Xiaomeng doesn't have so much money in his hands.

Although the little girl has worked for two years, she has always spent money lavishly, and now she doesn't have much money left, and she is really a little far from two thousand one.

She frowned and pondered: "I don't have either, so I can only borrow ......"

Geng Wenyang was disappointed when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he said: "Sister, one point is one point, and I will think of other ways to rest the money." ”

Zhuang Xiaomeng was clever, and quickly thought of a way to deal with it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about money, I'll figure it out." All you have to do is concentrate on writing your novels. ”

Since it is cooperation, both sides must do their best to work together to find ways to solve the difficulties encountered.

Geng Wenyang said unceremoniously: "Then we will decide to print 1,000 copies first, I have 400 yuan here, and the rest of the money will trouble my sister to find a way." ”

Zhuang Xiaomeng raised his hand and said simply: "Okay!" We're sure of it! ”

Geng Wenyang smiled and clapped his hands with her. Zhuang Xiaomeng's hand was warm and silky to the touch, which made him itch in his heart, and he muttered to himself: "Sister, no wonder the original Geng Wenyang has taken a fancy to you." You really have the raw capital to make men crazy. ”

In the early morning of the next day, Geng Wenyang came to the printing factory early, changed into work clothes, went to the factory director's office first, entered the door, picked up a broom and began to sweep the floor.

There are only two people in the factory director's office, Zhuang Fujin, the factory director, and Li Juan, the director of the office. Li Juan was the first to come, and when she came back with a thermos to make boiling water, she saw that Geng Wenyang took the initiative to help clean up, and couldn't help but be curious: "Xiao Geng, why are you so diligent today?" And took the initiative to help me sweep the floor? ”

Geng Wenyang said with a smile: "Director Li, I came early, and I am idle, shouldn't I help you sweep the floor?" ”

"Phew! The little kid doesn't tell the truth. Li Juan pretended to be disgusted and said: "If you want to ask me for something, say it quickly, don't live with me here in vain." ”

Geng Wenyang saw that the attempt was seen through at a glance, so he had to say truthfully: "Director Li, I want to come here every day to read the newspaper." ”

"Newspapers?" In the entire printing house, only the director's office has all kinds of daily newspapers at all levels, which are placed on the shelves of books and newspapers on weekdays.

Li Juan thought for a while and said: "In this way, I will put the book rack in the conference room, and if you want to read the newspaper, you can go there to read it, so as not to affect the work of the factory director." ”

"Hey! Thank you, Director Li! Geng Wenyang said attentively: "Why don't you leave the task of cleaning the conference room to me, I will ensure that the cleaning is clean." ”

"This ......" someone to help clean the conference room is a good thing that can't be sought, Li Juan pretended to be a good thing: "That's okay, I'll report to him when the factory director comes, and the management of the conference room will be handed over to you in the future." ”

"Hey! Thank you! Thank you, Director Li! Geng Wenyang thanked him hesitantly.

The main reason why Geng Wenyang wanted to read newspapers was that in the late 80s, many policies were published in important newspapers, and only through newspapers could we understand the country's policy trends and plans.

Since then, Geng Wenyang rushed to the factory every morning, first helped Li Juan clean the office and conference room, and then picked up yesterday's newspaper and read it one by one, and took out a small book to copy it when he read the key places.

Relying on the memories of his previous life, Geng Wenyang vaguely remembered that there was once a celebrity nicknamed "Yang Million", who was issued by reselling treasury bills in the late 80s.

Since others can make a fortune by reselling treasury bills, why can't he, as a traverser, follow the example and use the advantage of foresight to make a fortune as the original capital for a big job in the future.

It's just that he has only read the process of Yang Million's fortune, but he has not paid attention to the details, so he does not know the specific trading method and operation process of treasury bills, let alone the time point of launch. That's why he wanted to get crucial information through the newspaper, so as not to miss the opportunity to make a fortune in vain.

After dinner, Geng Wenyang sat down at the table as usual and began his creation again. He hadn't thought about it as soon as he had just written two pages, when suddenly someone slapped him on the shoulder from behind: "Man, how did you start studying?" The sun is coming out in the west, right? ”

Geng Wenyang turned his head and looked, it turned out to be his old classmate and friend Xin Xudong.

This guy is also not very enlightened in his studies, and he is reluctant to continue to go to school after graduation, so he has found a small iron factory on the street and also served as a temporary worker.
