Chapter 5 Contributions

A week later!

"Whew!"

With the sound of the pen rubbing against the paper, lines of words appeared on the white paper.

What a long time!

The sound stopped.

"It's finally done!"

Cao De shook his sour wrist, looked at the paper full of words in front of him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It took him a week to write 100,000 words.

To be honest, it's a bit slow.

At the speed of a normal person's hand, if you don't think, you should be able to write two or three thousand words in an hour, and twenty or thirty thousand words is not a problem when you go out to rest and eat at the end of the day.

But there is no way!

On the one hand, although the plot of the book "Fighting Horse" written by him was copied, because he only remembered some key plots, and the gap in the middle of the key plots required him to think about making up for it with some future routines.

On the other hand, he is used to typing on a computer, and now he hastily switches to handwriting, which is not very accustomed.

At last!

And most importantly, Xiangjiang uses traditional characters, although Cao De knows it, but it can't be written, so he can only write while comparing it with the dictionary, so the speed is even slower!

If it weren't for the gradual familiarization and gradual acceleration of writing, he would not even be able to write so many words this week.

But that's all in the past.

After putting this piece of manuscript paper together with a small plate of manuscript paper that was also full of words on the side, and tidying it up a little, Cao De muttered, "Now it's time to go to the manuscript, just go to the previously selected goals!" ”

100,000 words, basically the first plot is over.

It's time to find a newspaper to write from.

However, Cao De also knows that newspapers cannot be elected randomly, let alone vote casually.

If you submit casually, although it will increase the success rate of submission, the problem is that Cao De's goal is not to succeed in submission, but to make money!

In this way, the goal of the submission is to be particular.

Small newspapers can't afford to pay too high a price, so they can't choose.

Ming Pao can't be chosen.

As one of the largest newspapers in the industry, Ming Pao itself has many of its own columnists, and there is no shortage of contributors.

The most important thing is that its leader, Mr. Jin, is also famous for picking doors.

Therefore!

After thinking about it again and again during this time, Cao De chose to submit his articles to some large newspapers that are not as big as Ming Pao and some small newspapers that have a background behind them but want to develop but are not developing as well as they want.

Both of these can afford to give money, and because they are not as good as Ming Pao, they want to surpass Ming Pao, or because they want to develop, they are also willing to give money.

It's the best choice!

And this week, in addition to writing novels, Cao De basically wasted time collecting relevant materials.

Ultimately!

He also hammered out a few more suitable goals in his mind.

Thinking of this, Cao De left the room with the manuscript.

Tsim Sha Tsui!

Shinmandai!

Inside the editor-in-chief's office!

"Rubbish! You're going to give me such an answer sheet? ”

A charming woman wearing black high heels, black stockings, a short black tight skirt, with big waves, crimson lipstick, a lady's cigarette hanging from her mouth, and her legs crossed, but she looked charming, was angry with a cold face.

And opposite her, a man in a suit, glasses, sweating profusely, faced the amorous woman in front of him, but he lowered his head and did not dare to be disrespectful at all.

Because...

The woman in front of him is his boss!

The woman threw a report on the table and said angrily, "Chen Lang, I invested 10 million and gave you three months!" ”

"The result? Three months ago, 1,000 copies a day were sold, and three months later, 2,000 copies a day were sold! Tell me, can you still do it? Yes? If you can't do it, get out of here! ”

"I... This..."

The middle-aged man is Chen Lang, listening to the woman's words, his face is embarrassed, but he can't say why.

10 million to make such an achievement, it is indeed a bit unreasonable.

At present, in Xiangjiang, large newspapers sell at least tens of thousands of copies every day, and some top newspapers can even achieve 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of copies.

And the total value of those large newspapers is only one or two million, and the top newspapers are a little more, but they are only tens of millions, and at most hundreds of millions.

With an investment of 10 million, you can even buy a relatively small large newspaper.

As a result, such an answer sheet was handed in, and it is no wonder that the boss was angry.

But Chen Lang is bitter in his heart!

It's not that he's incompetent.

He used to be the deputy editor-in-chief of Oriental Daily, a large newspaper in Xiangjiang, and because of his outstanding ability, he was selected by Million Group, a large group that wants to enter the newspaper industry and has its own voice channel, three months ago, and became the editor-in-chief of Xinwan Daily, which it had just acquired.

At the beginning, he took advantage of his outstanding business ability to drastically improve the layout of the original Xinwan Daily, making the newspaper look more harmonious and eye-catching.

As a result, the sales of Xinwan Daily have skyrocketed, from the original daily sales of 1,000 copies to 2,000 copies.

But in the newspaper industry, content is king.

It's just typesetting, at most it makes people look a little more comfortable, and it may be able to increase sales a little by relying on this, but if you want to become a large newspaper, or even the top in the industry, it will definitely not work.

As a former deputy editor-in-chief of a large newspaper, he also knew this, and later put a lot of energy into making content.

Let the paparazzi keep an eye on the rich stars, spend a lot of money to find well-known writers in the industry to open columns, etc., he has done it all.

As a result...

All failed!

The Million Group's attempt to enter the newspaper industry has also attracted the attention of other large newspapers.

The whole Xiangjiang is so big, and the cake of the newspaper industry is only so small, if a large group like the Million Group enters and takes a large piece of the cake, then what will other newspapers eat?

Thereupon!

Other newspapers have intentionally or unintentionally targeted Xinwan Daily.

When the paparazzi went to target the celebrities and the rich, the paparazzi from other newspapers also came to target people, and they were crowding out the paparazzi of Xinwan Daily, so that they could not get first-hand news.

Well-known writers in the industry have also been warned that they are not allowed to contribute to Xinwan Daily, otherwise they will be collectively banned.

In this case, although Chen Lang's ability is not low, he has never been able to break the predicament and increase the sales of Xinwan Daily.

Of course!

He couldn't tell the woman in front of him about that.

Having said that, I can only prove that I am not capable.

After all, even the blockade of other newspapers can't be broken, so isn't that ability?

And the woman looked at Chen Lang's embarrassed and hesitant look, and probably guessed that the other party must have encountered some problems, but she was too lazy to get to the bottom of it, let alone help solve it.

She gave so much money, not to let the other party create problems for herself, but to let the other party solve the problems for herself!

If the other party can't solve even a little problem, then why stay?

Ultimately!

"If you give you another month, I don't need the newspaper to sell as many newspapers as large as a large newspaper all at once, but at the very least, I want to see that the newspaper has results, otherwise... Hehe! ”

After sneering and leaving such a sentence, the woman picked up her bag and left the place directly.

"Yes!"

Chen Lang looked at the woman's back, bitter in his heart, but he could only agree like this, and watched the woman gradually leave.

But the next second!

"Bang!"

A figure that happened to walk in collided with the woman who was leaving,

"Ah~"

After a cry of pain, the woman stumbled and fell behind her.

"Be careful!"

Seeing this scene, Chen Lang suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly wanted to step forward to support the other party.

This is his boss!

If he makes a bad fall here, he may have to be laid off early.

Pity!

He was too far away from the boss, and despite all his strength, he couldn't hook the boss, so he could only watch her fall.

Fortunately!

At this time, seeing that the woman was about to fall, a thick arm suddenly appeared and stopped her.

"You... You okay? Cao De asked.

That's right!

It was Cao De who walked in.

Just now, after he went to the copy shop and copied several copies of the first 30,000 words of his novel, he began to take a taxi to a newspaper he had already selected to submit his manuscript.

And after submitting several copies, he came to this newspaper office and prepared to submit.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I came in, I collided with such a woman.

That's what we're doing!

But asking, when Cao De saw the woman's appearance clearly, he was suddenly stunned!

"Wait, you're... Tang Judy!? Cao De hesitated.

Well, he recognized the woman in front of him, it was none other than the rich woman Tang Judy who appeared in truancy 3!

Compared with the movie, Tang Judy in reality is more seductive.

Especially the black silk and the slender legs are even more eye-catching, and even Cao De can't help but look at it twice.

However, looking at it, Cao De didn't have the slightest idea.

It's not that he can't, but he doesn't dare!

He knows that the other party is bisexual, and he has a girlfriend who can insert people with a big awl!

As soon as he wants to develop with the other party, he may be inserted by a big awl, and his hair is cold, and he has no ideas.

Then!

"Little brother, be careful when you walk next time!"

Tang Judy, who was in Cao De's arms, looked at him and said angrily, "And... How long are you going to hold on? ”

Tang Judy, who was bumped into, was not surprised that Cao De recognized herself

After all, as one of the most beautiful rich women, she is watched by the paparazzi all the year round and is a frequent visitor to major newspapers!

In the whole of Xiangjiang, there are fewer people who don't know her than those who know her.

"Ah~ I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

As soon as the other party said this, Cao De hurriedly straightened the person and nodded apologetically.

He was really looking down at his manuscript paper just now, so he didn't pay attention to the other party before he bumped into it.

Of course!

He also knew that the other party must not have paid attention just now, so he bumped into him.

After all, the collision is a matter of two people, and if the other party had seen him earlier, he could have avoided it a long time ago.

But women!

Reasoning definitely doesn't make sense.

Instead of dwelling on it later, it is better to directly apologize and solve this matter.

"Great!"

Chen Lang, who was not far away, watched this scene and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully the owner was fine.

Immediately, he turned his head to look at Cao De, and asked angrily, "Who are you?" What are you here for? Don't know how to be careful when walking? If you break my boss, will you pay for it? ”

For Cao De, the person who almost knocked his boss down, Chen Lang was not angry.

"Oh, I was here to contribute, but now it seems..."

Cao De faced Chen Lang's unkind words, and after looking Chen Lang up and down, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's better to be free!" ”

With that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Looking at the other party's attitude, Cao De knew that no matter how good the novel he wrote, there was obviously no chance.

And instead of licking your face and staying to be scolded, it's better to leave!

Anyway, he has invested in a lot of homes, and there is no shortage of this one.

"You..."

Chen Lang looked at Cao De's attitude, and suddenly became angry.

But listening to the other party's words, he knew that the other party was not his own employee, and he had no choice but to watch Cao De leave.

Suddenly!

"Wait!"

Tang Judy looked at Cao De's departing back, but stopped him.

Looking at Cao De's appearance, he is at most seventeen or eighteen years old.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who also writes novels?

I have to say that Tang Judy was aroused by Cao De's curiosity at once.

She wanted to see what such a young boy could write.
