Li Ye, Pei Wencong and others arrived in the island city, and were warmly welcomed by Dong Yuejin for three or four consecutive days, and the enthusiasm almost made Li Ye unbearable.

So much so that Li Ye couldn't help but laugh and said, "I said Lao Dong, has your hospitality exceeded the standard in the past few days?" We're here to visit friends, so we're not here to trouble you. ”

"Who do you look down upon? What's the matter, do you think I'm entertaining you too well, so I'll serve you pickles next time? ”

Dong Yuejin scolded with a smile: "Your seven-inch blade is a rich man, but our magazine is not a poor unit!"

Finally, when you two big Buddhas come over, isn't it beautiful to eat seafood? It's not me Dong Yuejin, who dares to say that I exceed the standard, I will directly paste his face. ”

Li Ye laughed a little, today's Dong Yuejin, compared with Dong Yuejin two years ago, has indeed changed a lot.

The panache is bigger than ever, and the shelves are bigger than ever.

After all, Dong Yuejin has created hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign exchange income for Blue Ocean Publishing House, and the RMB profit is even more numerous.

It's just that when Dong Yuejin faced Li Ye, the "sincerity" in his bones did not change.

During the three-day contact, Dong Yuejin thanked Li Ye and Pei Wencong many times for their help, and said very frankly, "If I hadn't made the right bet that time, there would be no "New Wind" today, and there would be no me today. ”

With this honesty, Li Ye felt that Dong Yuejin could at least outperform many people in the world.

Although it is indeed because of Li Ye and Pei Wencong that "New Wind" magazine has become the leader of popular literary journals in the mainland from a half-dead situation, he Dong Yuejin has also become a well-known figure in the mainland literary circle from a small editor.

But Li Ye has seen a lot of people, for fear that others will know that they have received help from others to finally succeed, so as not to affect his character of "trying to counterattack".

It's not even for nothing that a rake is stabbed backwards and a stab in the back.

A few days later, Pei Wencong and his entourage flew to Chang'an to visit some acquaintances at Chang'an Film Factory and see the progress of the film and television city project.

And Li Dayong was not qualified to take a plane, so he could only say goodbye to Pei Wenhui and return to Qingshui County with Li Ye depressed.

However, when he left from the island city, Dong Yuejin put a lot of special gifts on Li Ye, which made Li Ye a little embarrassed.

"Lao Dong! If you have anything to say, just say it, I have a problem, I don't have a short mouth to eat people, I don't have a soft hand to take people, you don't say that I can go! ”

"Then since you have said so, I must make some requests,"

Dong Yuejin said with a smile: ""The Lonely Army in the Hometown" has been completed, and your "Shuofeng Fei" has also been serialized to the end, when will the new book be written?" When the time comes, are you considering publishing it on my brother's side? ”

Li Yedao: "I hosted a short story in the school literature club, and I don't have the idea of opening a new book for the time being, and besides, the editor-in-chief of Dong Da is now raising his arms and calling for followers, there should be no shortage of manuscripts, right?" ”

"No, you've always been lacking like this,"

Dong Yuejin said: "Now "New Wind" has become a semi-monthly magazine, but it still can't stand the demand of the market, and the society has decided to further supplement the issue, increasing the length of each issue by 30%.

The last time you told me about the disadvantages of blind expansion, I sent someone to conduct a detailed market research, and there are really many journals that are uneven and poorly managed.

So as you said, I need a well-known author like you, a high-quality feature-length work to increase sales and expand its impact. ”

The periodicals of the 80s were full of flowers, but in the end, there were really few that survived, although there were various reasons, but the shoddy production of them was definitely one of the reasons.

Li Ye thought about it, and finally shook his head and said, "I have had too many things recently, and I really don't have time to write a new book, but I can give you two suggestions." ”

"Then tell me, brother, your vision is definitely this."

Dong Yuejin listened to Li Ye's words, and was not disappointed, and gave Li Ye a thumbs up.

He knew that Li Ye was now presiding over the Lone Army Literature Club, and at the same time he had to go to school, prepare for debates, etc., a student was busier than him, the editor-in-chief, it was really inconvenient for a strong man, otherwise why didn't he take the initiative to mention the new book to Li Ye in the past three days?

"First, you have greatly increased the remuneration standard for the solicitation of papers, and second, you regularly hold prize-winning essay competitions, and the prize money must not be too low."

Dong Yuejin was stunned for a moment, a little disappointed, and thoughtful.

Li Ye's two suggestions are actually not unusual, but if they want to be realized, he, the editor-in-chief, has no authority.

Although "New Wind" is now operated independently, it belongs to the Blue Ocean Publishing House in the island city after all, and any financial changes are not something that Dong Yuejin, an editor-in-chief, can decide.

Moreover, Dong Yuejin felt that Li Ye's "money-only" approach was also a bit simple and rude, and it was not the only way to solve the problem.

But in fact, what Li Ye said was "the talk of experience", because the surviving magazines and media in later generations have all proved that in order to attract excellent authors to submit, you must come up with real money.

Fooling the author to generate electricity for love? And then the author fools the reader? In the end, it will only lose the author and the reader together, if you don't go out of business, who will go out of business?

Of course, if "New Wind" finally goes out of business, Li Ye will never regret it, but will be happy in the middle of it.

Dong Yuejin is still very capable, and his temperament is not bad, isn't it right to pull him into the bowl and create a media giant?

Dong Yuejin, who sent Li Ye away, was thinking about Li Ye's two suggestions, but suddenly felt cold for no reason, and he was excited.

He really didn't expect that the righteous Li Ye brother would have started to fight him a long time ago.

。。。。。。。

Li Ye and Li Yue drove for most of the day and rushed back to Qingshui County when it was almost dark.

This speed is already quite fast, because in the early eighties, the transit time of the transportation company from Qingshui County to the island city was three days back and forth.

However, as soon as Li Ye's car turned into the main road west of the county seat, he saw his little sister standing on the side of the road and waving at him.

Li Ye hurriedly stopped the car and opened the window.

The younger sister Li Ying said to Li Ye: "Brother, my father asked me to wait for you here, so that you don't go home now, there are many relatives in our family, and they are all waiting for you to come back and help get into the joint venture factory."

Li Ye said strangely: "If you want to enter the joint venture factory, you should also be looking for grandpa?" What do you want me to do? ”

Li Ying shook her head and said, "I don't know, but they don't leave at home, and they still think that grandpa doesn't miss family affection."

Li Ye said in surprise: "Who is so angry?" Dare to play music with our grandfather? Grandma didn't speak? ”

Generally speaking, in terms of Li Zhongfa's prestige in the entire family, I have never heard of anyone messing with him.

Even if some grandfathers are not good at talking, grandma Wu Juying is not good at stubble, pointing to Sang scolding Huai insinuating but she is proficient in everything, and she specializes in cleaning up all kinds of things that are not long-sighted.

"Grandma spoke, saying that this recruitment is for foreign businessmen, but people are just talking to you by name!"

"And I heard my father and mother say that two of the old relatives had helped us before, so it's really hard to refuse, but some relatives are also real traitors."

Li Ying crossed her fingers and said to Li Ye: "There is an old aunt and grandmother, a second cousin, and an aunt's uncle."

“.”

"Okay, I understand, you get in the car first, let's find a place to eat."

After listening to Li Ying for a long time, Li Ye understood it.

The more relatives who can't hit this kind of eight poles, the more they actually don't have a forced number, and they take a little family relationship as a holy decree, and think that if you don't help, it's a big rebellion.

But it's this kind of relatives who are the most difficult, because they have no bottom line, and you can't beat people out with a stick! The bad influence must be Li Zhongfa.

On the contrary, those who are close to the Li family and familiar with Li Zhongfa know more about proportion, and will never do such a difficult thing for a strong man.

Now listening to Li Ying's meaning, there are some relatives who are really kind to the Li family who have come over, and those difficult ones have come over together, so it is difficult to deal with the entanglement.

Li Ye drove to Li Dayong's house, but Li Dayong said: "Brother, I'll stop in the distance first, and I'll go over and take a look at the situation." ”

A few minutes later, Li Dayong also ran back in a panic, got into the car and said, "Hurry up and go, this is also the case at home." ”

Li Ye was speechless.

How can anyone ask for help, is it a demon god who came into the world? Why do I have to hide from you? How big are each of them?

Li Ye didn't say anything, turned the car around and walked home.

Li Dayong saw that the direction was wrong, and said, "Brother, what are you doing here?" I can't tell them. ”

Li Ye said coldly: "Dayong! If you want to become a manager, you must first learn to refuse, reject those who are self-righteous, refuse those messy things, rest assured, some people will be offended if they are offended, and there is no less than one hair. ”

Li Ye drove Volga to the door of his house as he spoke, deliberately pressed the horn, and then asked Li Dayong to help carry things home.

The sound of the car's horn attracted people in the courtyard of the Li family, and several people came out at once.

"Yo, this is Li Ye, right? I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've grown so tall? ”

"Isn't it? I've become a big boy, I remember the last time I saw him, he was still stumbling when he walked! ”

"How much is this bought? It seems that this kid has made money is true, I have never seen such a thick hairtail."

"This kid doesn't look bad from anywhere. It's just not very easy to talk, you don't even call us when you see it."

Last time you saw me stumble? Twenty years ago, right? I don't even know you, call you a?

And Dong Yuejin sent a lot of things, Li Ye and Li Dayong moved several times and didn't finish moving.

But a few people around only cared about pointing and pointing, except for a half-grown child who could only be bored and lowered his head to help, the others were stunned and kicked their hands in the sleeves of their cotton jackets, and one by one they didn't even stretch out their hands.

What's wrong? This is the attitude of asking people to do things?

But one person still said in a big way: "Hey, Ono, I'm your second cousin, do you remember me?" ”

Li Ye raised his head and said with a smile: "I don't remember!" The last time you saw me, I was still stumbling while walking, how can that two-year-old baby remember? ”

“.”

The second cousin was stunned and a little embarrassed, but immediately took out two yuan and stuffed it for Li Ye.

"Well, Uncle Cousin gave you New Year's money, remember it now, right?"

Li Ye looked at the green two-yuan bill, and the whole person was stunned.

College students and secondary school students in the 80s were all at the cadre level!

You just take two dollars to corrupt the cadres?
