Gao Jialin took out the contact information of the editor-in-chief of the magazine "Juvenile Literature and Art" and dialed it according to the number.

First of all, when I arrived at the main station of the Provincial Post and Telecommunications Bureau, the voice of the operator came out, "Where do you want?" ”。

Gao Garin hurriedly replied, "SH City! ”

With a beep, the call was transferred to the main station of the Shanghai Post and Telecommunications Bureau, and the operator in Shanghai asked, "Where do you want?" ”

Gao Jialin hurriedly reported the office phone number of the editor-in-chief of "Juvenile Literature and Art", and the other party transferred it with a click, and soon, the phone finally got through.

In this era, the post and telecommunications bureau did not have a program-controlled exchange for automatic wiring, and all telephone transfers required operators, especially this kind of long-distance calls, which were extremely troublesome. Why else is the phone bill so expensive?

As soon as the phone rang, a middle-aged man's voice came from the other side, "I am Qian Wuxin, the editor-in-chief of "Juvenile Literature and Art", who is it?" ”

Gao Garin hurriedly replied, "Editor-in-Chief Qian, hello, I am Gao Garin, the author of the novel "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". ”

The other party's voice immediately rose high, and through the microphone, Gogarin could feel the enthusiasm of the other party.

"Oh, it's a high writer. Great, I've been waiting for you for this call. We've received your manuscript and I read it very much yesterday, and it's wonderful! I've only fixed a few typographical errors, and nothing else has been a problem. ”

"I'm here to congratulate you! The novel will be serialized in our latest issue, and it is estimated that it will be published in twelve issues a year. The manuscript fee is 15 yuan per thousand words according to the highest standard, and we have counted 220,000 words of your novel, which is 3,300 yuan, and the remittance has been sent out urgently, and you should receive it soon. ”

When Gogarin heard this, he was so happy that he almost jumped up. Wow! 3,300 yuan, which is an astronomical amount. With this money, you don't have to worry about starting a cave, holding a wedding, or buying a house.

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Gao Jialin thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you for your hard work, I don't even know how to thank you for working so hard for my affairs!" ”

"Haha," Editor-in-Chief Qian laughed, "I should thank you, Xiao Gao!" I don't think you're very old, so it's okay to call it that, right? ”

Gao Jialin hurriedly said that he was only twenty-three years old, and it was no problem to call Xiao Gao, but he couldn't afford it.

Hearing that Gao Jialin was so young, Editor-in-Chief Qian couldn't help but be a little surprised, "What a teenager and terrifying!" I didn't even expect you to be so young. Your writing is very mature, and it should have been revised repeatedly. ”

Gao Jialin hurriedly said yes, and also said that the book had also been read by the editor-in-chief Zhu of "Contemporary" magazine, and gave a lot of suggestions for revision. I also revised it repeatedly, so I was relatively mature.

"Hehe," Editor-in-Chief Qian suddenly realized, "I'll just say, how this book is so perfect, almost nothing has changed." It turns out that Lao Zhu has already changed it for me, haha, it was also recommended to me by Lao Zhu, and this time I directly got a Heshi Bi! ”

Gao Jialin wiped his sweat, sure enough, these editors are not eating idle meals, if he hadn't moved out of Editor-in-Chief Zhu by himself, the other party's question really couldn't be explained.

"That's right, Kodaka!" Editor-in-Chief Qian continued to ask, "I see that your book is only the first part, and there should be many more in the future, isn't it?" Have you thought about the outline later? What is the situation? ”

Gao Garin hurriedly replied, this is indeed the first part, and there are 6 more in the back, and he is going to write 7 parts. I also had a general thought about the outline of the back, and gave the content of each part to the editor-in-chief Qian a few words.

Editor-in-chief Qian was very excited when he heard this, and immediately made a suggestion: "Xiao Gao, since you already have an outline, then I am much more relieved." I have a suggestion, can you come to Shanghai with the outline, let's have a good talk face-to-face, and discuss this outline in detail. To put it mildly, I'm really afraid that there will be problems in the follow-up plot and cause such a good book to collapse! ”

How dare Gao Jialin go to Shanghai to discuss with Editor-in-Chief Qian now? The Harry Potter series covers a lot of British knowledge, including political parties, weather, geography, culture, lifestyle, foreign relations, human rights, women's rights, racism, and scientific development. For example, the origin of the name Sirius, the reality mapping of the 28 pure-blood family, and what does the relationship between house-elves and wizards refer to?

Once the editor-in-chief asked these questions, Gao Jialin really couldn't answer them. How could a young man who had been living in a remote mountain village have access to so much British information? It doesn't make sense! No matter how much Gogarin had to spend half a month and a month in a large library, he could read through the materials and documents about Britain before he could make up a plausible lie.

Gao Jialin could only politely decline the suggestion of Editor-in-Chief Qian, "Alas, Mr. Qian, I am really willing to go to Shanghai to listen to your suggestion." But right now, my girlfriend and I are about to have a wedding. You also know that in a rural northwest like ours, the wedding procedures are very troublesome, and no three media or six hires are indispensable, and I really can't get out of it. ”

"Hehe, it's okay!" Although the editor-in-chief Qian was a little disappointed, he didn't mind very much, "Then I want to say congratulations here, congratulations on your newlywed happiness and a hundred years of good together." Since this is the case, then you should organize the wedding at home first, and if you have time, write the outline in detail. If you have time, you can call me in advance, and we will send you the invitation. ”

Gogarin finally prevaricated and thanked him repeatedly.

Putting down the phone, Gao Jialin immediately greeted Liu Qiaozhen and Zhang Kenan's eager inquiries.

"Garin, you've published a novel again, why do I have to go to Shanghai to revise it, it's amazing!" This is Conan Zhang's voice.

"Gallinger, are you going to Shanghai? When to go? When will you come back? This is Liu Qiaozhen's voice.

Zhang Conan's voice was the loudest, and Gao Jialin had to reply to him first.

"Oh, don't be so excited, I wrote a children's novel and sent it to the magazine "Juvenile Literature and Art", it's not a big deal."

Gao Jialin turned his head to Liu Qiaozhen and said: "Don't worry, I won't go to Shanghai to revise the draft, I will push this matter back, and now I will be busy with our wedding first, this is the big deal!" ”

"Brother Gallinger, you're so nice!" Liu Qiaozhen heard that Gao Jialin had postponed the opportunity to go to Shanghai for the sake of marriage, and she was excited and happy, and her eyes were almost red.

Gao Jialin hurriedly held her hand, and the two looked at each other affectionately.

"Oops!" Zhang Kenan couldn't stand it, "Can you two show affection a little more attention, there is still a big living person here!" ”

Liu Qiaozhen's face flushed, and she hurriedly shook off Gao Jialin's hand, turned her head and covered her face.

Gogarin was extremely thick-skinned, "Cut!" Kenan, that's why you can't catch up with Yaping for half a day, it's so blind! In that case, you should go out alone and close the door for both of us! ”

"Haha!" Zhang Kenan was made to laugh by Gao Jialin's words, "Okay, you Gao Jialin, you are so thick-skinned!" I didn't see you like that before! Come on, this is my office! ”

The two talked and laughed for a while, and Gao Jialin pulled Zhang Kenan out and said that he would invite him to dinner and drink. Although there is still a little time before getting off work, for Zhang Kenan, he is the director, and no one dares to care if he arrives late and leaves early.

The three of them went out together, found a restaurant, ordered a few dishes, asked for a bottle of wine, and ate and drank, so comfortable!

Two days later, Gogarin's manuscript fee was delivered by the postman Xiaohai, and since he learned that his name had written Gogarin in his latest novel, he was triumphant and showed off everywhere. In the envious eyes of others, it is more proactive to send a letter to Gogarin.

Gao Jialin took the remittance slip and looked at the number of 3,300 yuan, and he didn't feel his hands tremble. Xiao Hai couldn't help but come over and take a look, which scared him so much that he almost sat on the ground.

"Wow! Teacher Gao, you have made a fortune! Writing novels is so lucrative! ”

Gogarin smiled, "It's a fluke, it's just a fluke!" Then he carefully collected the remittance slip and told Xiaohai: "Brother Hai, help keep it a secret!" ”

Xiaohai immediately promised, "Teacher Gao, don't worry, my tone is the tightest." But if you go to the bank to exchange money, the teller will make a fuss, and you don't expect them to keep it secret. ”

Gogarin thought about it too, he sighed, he could only count on the bank teller to be well-informed and not to make such a fuss.

Gao Jialin went to the county seat and rubbed Liu Qiaozhen's car as usual, and he was a little embarrassed to eat soft rice like this. Anyway, now that you have money, you might as well buy yourself a bike.

Liu Qiaozhen was also very excited to learn that the remittance slip had arrived, she knew last time that there was about to be a manuscript fee of 3,300 yuan, but she was not too surprised. But looking at such a large number, it is also emotional.

The two hurriedly got on the car and went straight to the county seat.

When he arrived at the bank, Gogarin carefully handed over the remittance slip. The teller was already familiar with Gogarin, a fairly well-known young writer, who came to pick up money for books when he had nothing to do.

The bank teller saw that it was Gogarin and greeted him familiarly.

"Writer Gao, it's you again! You're publishing again? When she took the remittance slip and looked at it, "Wow! That's a lot of money! How much have you written! ”

Gao Garin explained with a smile, "If a novel is serialized, it will be serialized for a year, and people will send all the money for a year in one go!" ”。

"You're amazing! But you'll have to wait a bit, it's too big, and you'll have to deal with it with the president! With that, the teller ran to call the president.

In this era, financial supervision is extremely strict, and tellers with such a large amount are often seen, but it is generally a unit-to-unit remittance, and it is the first time that a unit will give an individual like this. So it has to be reported to the president, and the president will deal with it.
