Chapter 377: Taking over the Laughing Jianghu Magazine
Laughing Jianghu Magazine. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The middle-aged man helped the old man into the president's office, and then made two cups of tea, one for the old man and one for himself.
In fact, the old man has a tough body, is not deaf, his eyes are not dazzled, and even his hair is rarely gray, so he does not need support.
It's just that the middle-aged man felt an inexplicable sense of depression in the old man, so he stepped forward to help.
The old man is the old friend mentioned by Zheng Jie, named Liang Yuan, who is also the president of Xiaojianghu Magazine.
And the middle-aged man's name is Gu Wei, who is the editor-in-chief of Xiaojianghu Magazine. It has been more than 10 years in Xiaojianghu, and I have witnessed the glory of Xiaojianghu, but also accompanied by loneliness at this time.
Now, in addition to him, the editor-in-chief, there are only two editors left in Xiaojianghu Magazine.
The remaining two editors actually want to leave, but they are all old editors of Xiaojianghu, and they also have feelings for Xiaojianghu, plus the president and editor-in-chief are very good to them, so they can't bear to leave now.
However, they also know that the laughing rivers and lakes won't last long. The president has decided to transfer Xiaojianghu, and if he can't transfer it, then he will only close the door.
Judging from the current situation, nine times out of ten, only the door will be closed.
The two editors could only sigh in their hearts, there was nothing they could do.
Of course, if there is a slightly better submission, their magazine may still have a chance to live. It's just that they sell 20,000 or 30,000 copies per issue, and it's a semi-monthly magazine, which is obviously not attractive to those who are better martial arts authors.
The submissions to them are generally the works of some newcomers. If you can't receive good manuscripts, the sales will naturally get lower and lower.
If this vicious circle continues, there is no other way but to close the door.
According to the estimates of the two editors, it is estimated that more than half of the current sales of 20,000 to 30,000 copies are some old readers who bought the magazine because they have feelings for it.
After buying it back, it's really hard to say whether I will read the above story.
This is one of the reasons why the president, Liang Yuan, decided to transfer or close the magazine. The old president didn't want people to buy his magazine, just because he had feelings for the magazine, not because he liked the stories on it.
......
In the president's office.
Gu Wei, the editor-in-chief, took a sip of tea, pondered for a while, and said: "President, several big magazines led by "Great Martial Arts" have engaged in a competition between various martial arts newspapers and magazines, do you see if we want to ......?"
President Liang Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Gu, if we have a good work and take it to the competition, it will indeed be a good publicity role." But if you take a random work to participate in the competition, you are just humiliating yourself. ”
Gu Wei sighed after hearing this, how could he not know this.
Moreover, this should be the main purpose of these magazines to hold such competitions.
It's just that this may be their only chance at the moment. If you miss this opportunity, you may never have it again.
After a long time, I heard Liang Yuan sigh and say, "Xiao Gu, I have already released the news of the transfer of the magazine." If someone comes to take over, it's naturally the best. If not, then let's publish the last two more issues. After two phases, you and Xiao Liu and Xiao Lin will change places. You're all very capable, and I know a lot of magazines have been poaching you lately. It's the laughing rivers and lakes that drag you down. ”
After speaking, Liang Yuan sighed again, and suddenly seemed to have aged a lot.
Finally, it has come to this.
Gu Wei felt sour in his heart, and said softly: "President, Xiaojianghu didn't drag us down, it was we who regarded Xiaojianghu as our home, and we voluntarily stayed here." ”
After Liang Yuan heard this, he suddenly smiled with great relief, and only said two "good" words, and nothing else.
......
When Li Fan arrived at the provincial bus station, it was almost half past nine in the morning. After walking out of the station, I hailed a taxi and went straight to Wuyi Lane.
An hour later, Li Fan stood at the entrance of Wuyi Lane. At first, I glanced at the buildings on both sides of the alley with great differences. Then he locked his eyes on a very conspicuous signboard ahead.
Li Fan nodded very satisfied, this signboard is quite a bit solemn, if you want to laugh at the rivers and lakes, it should be like this.
Immediately, Li Fan walked over and stepped into the door of Xiaojianghu Magazine.
There was a little listless girl at the front desk, watching Li Fan come in, she was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect that at this time, a strange young man would walk in.
It is estimated that there has been no stranger in a long time, and they have walked in from here.
After Li Fan entered the door, he saw the slightly stunned expression of the girl at the front desk, a little inexplicable, and her brows were slightly furrowed.
The girl at the front desk reacted and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, sir, may I ask you what's the matter?" Because no outsiders have come for too long, I was a little stunned just now, I'm really sorry." ”
Well, the girl said it so frankly, it made Li Fan a little embarrassed, what a cute girl.
"I'm looking for your president, is he there?" Li Fan smiled slightly and said.
"Yes, yes, sir, please come with me. While talking, the girl walked out of the front desk and led Li Fan inside.
Li Fan smiled and followed the girl inside. Well, the figure is still good.
When she came to an office, she knocked on the door and said, "President, a gentleman is looking for you." ”
"Someone is looking for you?" Liang Yuan was stunned, "Could it be that you are coming...... Alas, it's better to transfer it than to close it. ”
Liang Yuan suppressed his complicated emotions and said, "Please come in!"
The girl pushed open the door of the president's office and motioned for Li Fan to please. Li Fan nodded slightly, and then walked into Liang Yuan's president's office.
Seeing someone come in, Liang Yuan was stunned again, "Why are you so young? Isn't he here to transfer magazines?"
Although so many thoughts flashed in his heart, Liang Yuan quickly got up, walked outside the desk, shook hands with Li Fan and said, "I am the president here, Liang Yuan." ”
Then he gestured to Gu Wei and continued: "This is our editor-in-chief, Gu Wei. Little brother, please be seated!"
Li Fan first shook my hand with Liang Yuan, then shook hands with Gu Wei, and then sat down on the sofa.
At this time, the girl at the front desk also brought a cup of tea and put it on the coffee table in front of Li Fan.
Li Fan smiled and thanked him, and the girl at the front desk blushed slightly, and then retreated.
Liang Yuan sat back on the chair behind the desk, looked at Li Fan, and said, "I don't know what this little brother is called?
Li Fan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "President Liang is polite, my surname is Li." I heard that President Liang intends to transfer this Xiaojianghu magazine, I wonder if there is such a thing?"
Liang Yuan heard that the other party really came for the magazine, and for a while many feelings such as reluctance, relief, and regret came to his heart, and after a short while, he sighed lightly and said: "There is such a thing, does Li Xiaoyou have the intention of taking over?"
Li Fan nodded lightly and said, "Yes, I don't know what President Liang is planning to do?"
Before Liang Yuan could answer, Gu Wei on the side got up and said, "President, Mr. Li, you have something important to discuss, so I'll go out first." ”
Liang Yuan nodded, and Li Fan also nodded.
Immediately, Gu Wei bowed slightly to Liang Yuan and Li Fan, and then withdrew from the president's office.
Gu Wei, who left the president's office, wondered in his heart, "Doesn't this young man know the current operation of the magazine?"
