Chapter 035: The Fuse

Although Cao Wanwan ran out, the commotion caused here still made the aunt of the administrator of the reading room look angry.

Su Hang said to Fang Wei, who was confused: "Let's go out and talk." ”

Everyone simply packed up and went outside the library.

Fang Wei was no longer curious about what had just happened, and took the initiative to start the topic: "Suzhou and Hangzhou are the same...... You may not know how popular your novels are, but I have to be a postman this time. As he spoke, he opened his brown leather satchel, took out a thick bundle of letters tied with nylon rope, and handed it over: "For the time being, I have only received these days, a total of 51 letters, and if there are any more in the future, we will send them to you." ”

He used to be a transparent person for most of his life, and after more than ten years, he was even more unfamiliar with such a thing, Su Hang never thought that one day there would be so many people writing to him, seeing the thick bundle handed over by Fang Wei, he was stunned, and then quickly took it and said, "Thank you." ”

Fang Wei smiled: "It's a gesture." ”

The two said this, Zhang Yi, Gan Xin, Tao Nuanci and Hong Aya all looked at the letter in Su Hang's hand, and Zhang Yi also thought that just now, a certain petite girl seemed to have said ...... Give someone ...... too wrote a letter.

So the expression is a little strange.

Su Hang also remembered a certain detail, glanced at the thick bundle in his hand, and did not mean to open it immediately, but turned to Tao Nuanci: "Go and see Wanwan, where did she go?" ”

is already an uncle in his bones, although Su Hang doesn't like the targeting of a little girl, he won't take it too seriously.

Tao Nuanci was more curious about the young people around her, such as a woman who was so beautiful that she just arrived, such as Fang Wei, but she also cared about her sisters, nodded when she heard the words, and pointed in one direction: "It should be in the car." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand at everyone, and then walked to the black Santana that stopped not far away.

Su Hang handed the letter in his hand to Gan Xin, who was carrying his backpack, and turned to Fang Wei: "Sister Fang, come here this time, is there anything else?" ”

There has been speculation.

However, the process still has to go.

Fang Wei heard Su Hang call herself 'Sister Fang', and felt that this young man was very easy-going, looked around, and pointed to a blue-brown quaint stone table under the shade of a tree: "Let's go over there and talk." ”

Su Hang nodded.

Everyone came to the stone table, there were only four stools, knowing that it was business, Zhang Yi, Gan Xin and Hong Aya simply did not sit down, and walked to a bench on the other side.

Sitting down opposite the teenager, Fang Wei said: "That's the case, Su Hang, our "Qingxu" magazine thinks you have great potential, and the editor-in-chief specially sent me over to reach some long-term cooperation with you. ”

Su Hang asked: "Long-term cooperation?" ”

"Yes," Fang Wei said, "We hope you will open a column in Qingxu." In addition, with your pen power, we think that you can also try to create a novel, and "Qingxu" is also willing to provide a platform for publication. ”

Fang Wei said words that must be very attractive to other ordinary authors, but she was carefully observing Su Hang's expression. However, it was disappointing that she didn't see feedback such as surprises.

I can't help but think of the previous editor-in-chief's confession again.

I must take it!

Just one novel has increased the circulation of "Qingxu" from less than 6,000 last month to 8,000 that has been printed, and there may be additional dealers in the future, and this month, it is not impossible for the total sales to break 10,000 again.

If the sales volume increases to more than 10,000, "Qingxu" will be able to stabilize again, and there will be no more danger of suspending publication.

However, as Sister Yuexiao said after reading another "Countless Passing Years" on "Zhengmao", if she can win the other party, returning to 10,000 may be just the beginning, this author, for "Qingxu", and even, it is likely to be like Jin Yongzhi to "Ming Pao".

Taking down this person, "Qingxu" chasing after "Shanghai", which is also under Boyi, is not something that cannot be imagined.

Fang Wei didn't dare to have such extravagant hopes.

However, Fang Wei also understands that if she gets the 'business', she will definitely not have to look for a job like Li Dongbao anymore.

When Fang Wei's thoughts were flying, Su Hang, who was silent on the surface, was also weighing.

Su Hang originally planned to take the initiative to write to some newspapers and magazines after inquiring about the corresponding information in recent days, and then according to the other party's response, mainly to see whether there is sincerity, and then select the object of cooperation.

Now, "Qingxu" magazine directly sent editors to come to the door to ask for manuscripts, and also showed a willingness to cooperate for a long time, and "Qingxu" is not only in the province, but also meets the key conditions for the ownership of publishing houses in Suzhou and Hangzhou...... There's no need to bother tossing around with anything else.

Your time is still precious.

Quickly made up his mind, Su Hang didn't drag his feet, called Gan Xin who was not far away, took the schoolbag, took out a manuscript fee remittance slip sandwiched in it from a sophomore chemistry textbook, and handed it to Fang Wei: "Sister Fang, you take a look at this first." ”

Fang Wei took it.

After a cursory glance, you can understand what is going on.

I really didn't expect that this young man, in addition to "Qingxu" and "Zhengmao", would also publish an article in another magazine.

Doesn't this mean that the other party has published a total of three articles this month.

Through previous contact, Fang Wei has determined that Su Hang is only a high school student, and it is rare for a high school student to be able to publish three articles at the same time in a month.

However, what does the other party do to show themselves this?

Waiting to be sold?

Thinking of this, Fang Wei glanced at it again, handed back the manuscript fee remittance form, and said: "Su Hang, this magazine gave you a manuscript fee of 25 yuan for 1,000 words, if the news we got was correct, "Zhengmao" only gave you 15 thousand words, these are not as good as our 30 thousand words, you should be able to feel the favor of "Qingxu" for you." ”

Said and rejoiced.

Fortunately, the editor-in-chief was generous last month, otherwise, if he only gave 10 yuan for 1,000 words that his own magazine often gives to ordinary authors, I am afraid that this matter will not be easy to talk about today.

Fang Wei also thought of "Zhengmao".

Maybe "Countless Passing Years" is not as influential as "Lin Qing and Xu Bai", and the units are different, "Zhengmao" is quite slow to respond to this young man.

Su Hang brought the remittance slip, he wanted to take time to go to the post office before noon to take out the money, and immediately put away the thin paper worth 217 yuan and 5 cents again, and said to Fang Wei: "Sister Fang, show you this, I don't want to talk about the manuscript fee." "Qingxu" specially asked you to come over, which shows that you are very sincere. In that case, on the basis of the cooperation you just mentioned, perhaps, we can go a little deeper. ”

Fang Wei was puzzled: "Deeper? ”

Su Hang nodded, patted the chemistry textbook that had not been put back in his schoolbag, and said, "I have received 7 such remittance slips this month, including the one from your "Qingxu". In addition, I received a notice of the manuscript last month, but I haven't sent it yet, and there is another copy. Besides, I recently received two new manuscript notices, Sister Fang, do the math, how many articles are there in total? ”

Fang Wei quickly calculated, and then thought, this young man is afraid that he is not joking with himself?

Just seeing him take out the remittance slip, thinking that the other party would publish three articles a month, Fang Wei already felt that it was very rare.

This......

Published, unpublished, confirmed, add up, it turns out to be a total of 10 articles, how is it possible?

Su Hang saw Fang Wei's look of disbelief, and said: "The manuscript fee remittance form, sample journal, and manuscript notice, these are all in my home, whether they are true or false, just go to my house and take a look, Sister Fang, do you think it is necessary for me to lie?" ”

Fang Wei came back to her senses, looked at the young man opposite again, and finally smiled: "I just think...... It's incredible. ”

"Also," Su Hang said: "In the final exam before the summer vacation, the total score of the first year of high school was 1050 points, and I scored 1022 points, the first in the school, including three main courses other than language and mathematics, all full marks." ”

Fang Wei was surprised again, and puzzled.

Su Hang thought for a moment and added: "Let's put it this way, 1022 points, if converted according to the total score of 750 points in the college entrance examination, it is equivalent to, I scored 730 points, Sister Fang, what do you think, what level is this?" ”

Top student in the college entrance examination!

A word immediately popped up in Fang Wei's mind.

Moreover, I thought that if this is the case, with a score of 730, I am afraid that he is no longer the top student in the college entrance examination at the optional level of domestic universities, even if various famous overseas schools will extend an olive branch to this teenager.

After a moment of brainstorming, Fang Wei asked again, "Why do you say this?" ”

"As for my calligraphy, Sister Fang should have read it," Su Hang didn't answer directly, and added another sentence, and continued: "In addition, I am 16 years old this year, which is also a key." A 16-year-old boy, the first in the school, excellent calligraphy, published more than a dozen articles in one summer vacation, Sister Fang, all of these together, if it is reported, do you think, will it attract widespread attention across the country? ”

Fang Wei nodded subconsciously.

This is simply a 'genius boy'.

If it's all true, I'm just afraid of ......

After thinking about it, after all, Fang Wei couldn't imagine some results.

Su Hang has continued: "I remember that there was news in the first half of the year, Liu Xiaoqing, an autobiography has not been published yet, just a book title, um...... It should be "From Movie Star to Billionaire Sister", 11 words, after a group of booksellers, it was raised to a high price of 1.08 million, Sister Fang, what do you think is the key? ”

Fang Wei felt that she couldn't resist the jumping ideas of the young man opposite, and could only say, "Liu Xiaoqing, a big star." ”

"Yes, because Liu Xiaoqing is a big star, she has enough attention, so she wants to write a book, and with only one name, someone will offer a high price of 1.08 million," Su Hang said: "So, what about me, Sister Fang, the conditions I listed just now, let's operate them well, can we also get enough attention?" ”

Fang Wei nodded again.

Although, this teenager seems to be a little more self-conscious than he compares himself with Liu Xiaoqing, but, think about it again, before he was 16 years old, a top student at the top level of the college entrance examination, his calligraphy was still so good, and he published so many articles at once, all of them, if it was just one or two, it was nothing, all of them were piled together, and it was difficult not to attract attention.

After thinking about it, Fang Wei looked at the young man opposite, trying to regain some initiative: "Su Hang, what are you going to do when you say this?" ”

"I also publish a book," Su Hang simply gave an answer: "I just said, I have confirmed the publication of articles this summer, there are already 10 articles, and there must be some next, in addition, I am still writing every day, it is expected that after the summer vacation, I can write about 200,000 words, and the plan is 32 short stories, Sister Fang, don't you think, this is just enough for a book?" ”

A collection of short stories.

A word popped up in Fang Wei's mind again, and she pondered the words of the young man opposite, thinking of her own magazine, thinking of the Boyi Publishing House, which was also poorly managed, and thinking of the 1.08 million ...... that Liu Xiaoqing was robbed of Well, no, it's that autobiography, which sold 1.08 million.

Suddenly I had a hunch.

This teenager is not only Jin Yongzhi to "Ming Pao", but also to his entire publishing house, which may be very important.

Think deeper.

Such a big thing is no longer something that you can decide.

After Fang Wei pondered hard, Su Hang spoke again, looked at the little square-faced short-haired girl opposite, and continued: "Sister Fang, if my guess is good, the business situation of "Qingxu" shouldn't be very good?

This question woke Fang Wei up.

This is unacceptable.

Hurriedly said: "We are a very old magazine, which was established in the fifties......"

"Qualifications have nothing to do with the quality of the business," Su Hang interrupted with a smile: "There are too many magazines that are not well run now, and in my opinion, the more valuable ones are just one issue number." If I didn't have too much thought in publishing, getting a magazine number and starting a magazine through the backdoor would be a good choice, just like Zheng Yuanjie supported "Fairy Tale King" alone. ”

Fang Wei found that she was a little overwhelmed again.

This young man is really angry.

However, thinking about what the other party just listed, and then pondering the conversation of the teenager in this short period of contact, it seems that the other party is not too big.

Skipping this detail, Fang Wei tried to make eye contact with the young man: "Su Hang, you mean, you want to cooperate with us...... Publish a book? ”

"Yes," Su Hang said, "Moreover, this is a win-win situation, if it is done properly, you, whether it is Qingxu magazine or Boyi Publishing House, will win more." ”

"Why are you so confident?"

"Because what I just said is just the first step in the plan," Su Hang said: "In this plan, I am just a 'fuse', the fuse that detonates a fireworks feast." ”

Fang Wei shook her head: "I don't understand? ”

"I have an overall operation plan for 'youth literature'," Su Hang said: "Youth literature, literally, don't need to explain much, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"To put it simply, this plan, the first step, is to create a 'youth literature' idol, and I feel that I am quite suitable."

Fang Wei chuckled, but did not refute.

"The second step, with the help of the wide attention of this 'youth literature' idol, "Qingxu" magazine, of course, if you are not willing to cooperate, can also be other magazines to organize an essay contest to cultivate more youth literature writers."

"The third and final step is to create more excellent works by more writers of youth literature, attract the attention of more young people, and then cultivate a dedicated youth literature market. Think about how many teenagers there are in the country, you can understand how big this cake is, and when it is done, whether it is "Qingxu" or Boyi, you can eat it until your belly is round. ”

Fang Wei imagined some scenes, had some expectations, and found a problem: "Su Hang, I think you said this matter too easily, among them, ......"

Su Hang smiled: "Do you think there is something missing?" ”

"Hmm."

"Sister Fang, we just met for the first time, and we don't know each other very well, why do you think I dare to be so defenseless and confiding with you, according to a certain saying, this is 'shallow and deep'."

Fang Wei asked, "Why?" ”

Su Hang pointed to himself: "Because, the key to this plan is me, I am the 'fuse', if I don't light it, everyone won't see a fireworks feast." ”

Fang Wei said: "You ......"

"Zhang Ailing has a saying, called 'become famous as soon as possible', which is actually due to causal logic. The same thing, a 16-year-old boy did it, and a 20-year-old adult did it, it feels different, and it is obvious that 16-year-olds are more likely to attract attention. I'm 16 years old and that's an advantage. The second advantage is calligraphy. The third advantage is academic performance. Finally, there's a key advantage that I can write, the kind that can publish a dozen articles in a summer. Sister Fang, there may be other outstanding peers who meet one or two of my peers, but if they do, I'm afraid it's hard for you to find. Therefore, I am almost the only 'fuse'. ”

After hearing this, Fang Wei had to nod her head along with it, but she still felt that something didn't make sense.

Su Hang looked at the other party's expression and said with a smile: "I said that the uniqueness of my 'fuse' is your last doubt, Sister Fang, even if I succeed, how can I say that I can light a fireworks feast?" ”

Fang Wei immediately grabbed it, understood that this was her doubt, and asked, "Why?" ”

"It's very simple," Su Hang said: "Let's quantify, if I can earn 1 million with a book, Boyi hypes it up, and then organizes the follow-up plan I described, then, Sister Fang, how many people do you think will respond, how many people will ...... Want to make a million too? ”

Fang Wei was instantly transparent.

Looking at the teenager opposite, it is really a perfect 'fuse', and it is almost unique, at least, she doesn't think that if her publishing house takes away the teenager's idea and goes it alone, she can find a second suitable 'fuse' in a short time.

Su Hang finally said: "So, this is why I dare to 'talk deeply' to you, sister, because what I said is that the premise is that I must first be successful enough before you can succeed." On the contrary, if you don't cooperate with each other enough, or, after you cooperate, you don't work so hard to make my vision work out, then everything I just said will come to naught. As a result of this incident, I will still be able to live well in the future with my own personal ability, but you, whether it is "Qingxu" or Boyi Publishing House, have missed this unique opportunity, and whether you can survive in the wave of marketization of the publishing industry that has been continuously promoted in these years may be a question. Therefore, if you lose, you are the one who loses the most. ”
