Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 61 Jimmy
On December [-], Yu Dong saw a piece of news about the Shanghai stock market in the newspaper, saying that three securities companies including Haitong jointly issued stock subscription certificates in many stadiums in Shanghai, and then the lottery was drawn. Go to each of the stock underwriters to buy stocks.

When he saw this news, Yu Dong frowned and suddenly became nervous. Could it be that the subscription certificate is about to start?
But after reading the news carefully, Yu Dong realized that this was not the same thing as the subscription certificate he thought.

The subscription card in the news does not need to spend 30 yuan to buy, and it is issued at the stadium.

Yu Dong also had some impressions of this incident, as if there was indeed an unsuccessful issuance of subscription certificates before the purchase of subscription certificates for 30 yuan.

At that time, it seemed that because there were too many people, the scene was too chaotic, and it was not implemented in the end.

Later, the distribution method was changed, and it needs to be purchased at a designated bank for 30 yuan.

However, seeing this news means that the 30 yuan subscription certificate will be sold in the near future, and there will probably be a month or two.

But Yu Dong only has a few thousand yuan in his hand now, not even 1 yuan.

But Yu Dong couldn't think of any way to make money.

Write a manuscript to submit?
It's too late, I can only submit short articles at most, and I can't get much manuscript fee.

to borrow some?

Yu Dong quickly rejected the idea, because he did not understand economics, and the matter of the subscription certificate was just something he had heard from others.He is not sure if there will be an accident when he is reborn now.

It seems very unwise for Yudong to borrow money to do something that he is not absolutely sure of.

After much deliberation, he decided to ask his parents if they had spare money next time. If there was, he would ask them for some points. If not, he could only operate with the money he had.

In fact, it is not bad that Yu Dong can make so much money in a few months. For a rebirth like him who can't do business, it may not be easy to make money.

If it wasn't for him to write something, it is estimated that if he wants to make money, he can only buy a house and wait for the appreciation.

……

Jimmy James sat in front of the breakfast shop, looking at the bustling street, in a pretty good mood.

He is waiting for his fried liver. Every time he comes to Yanjing, he always wants to eat this very special food.

Jimmy is not like the average American who shies away from things like the large intestine. He thinks that food only needs to serve the tongue and stomach, and fried liver can do that.

More than ten years ago, he was a news reporter stationed in China, and his long life in China made him feel that he was already half a Chinese.

Even if he did not become a reporter and switched to the projection and television industry, he would still find time to come and live in Huaguo, five or six times a year at least.

This is his last visit to China this year, and in a few days he will be ready to go back for Christmas.

The fried liver came up quickly, and he picked up the bowl like the locals and sucked and slipped along the edge of the bowl.

He likes to imitate the way of life of the locals, and he knows exactly why.Wanting to integrate into the local area is originally the instinct of outsiders engraved in the bones.

After eating the fried liver, his body warmed up, he said hello to the boss, and Jimmy walked east along the street.

After walking a few steps, there was a newsstand.

The boss seemed to know Jimmy, and shouted at him with a smile: "Brother Jimmy, have you eaten?"

Jimmy smiled and spoke the authentic Yanjing dialect and said, "I'm full."

"Hey, you've been back for so long, but we haven't lost our Yanjing dialect. The new issue of "Harvest" and "Zhongshan" are the same?" The boss praised Jimmy's accent while promoting the magazine. .

He is not a blind salesman. He has known this foreigner for a long time, and he likes to read these literary magazines every time.Sometimes the boss is embarrassed, and the Chinese people who are down-to-earth usually rarely read such books.

Jimmy nodded, "The same one."

"Okay, I'll load it up for you." The boss put down the magazine in his hand and prepared to get a book for Jimmy.

However, Jimmy saw the magazine put down by the boss, and saw the words "Sci-Fi World" written on it, and said a little surprised: "Boss, is this a new magazine?"

"You said this." The boss laughed, "It's not new, it's the previous "Science Fiction and Art" that changed its name. You changed it the last time you came, but you didn't notice it. I guess, the boss of the magazine What I thought was to connect with the world, so I changed it to this, look here..."

Jimmy looked up.

"This journal won the World Science Fiction Association's Best Science Fiction Journal Award, you see, it's bluffing. You are an American, have you heard of the World Science Fiction Association?"

"I've heard of it." Jimmy nodded and added, "Get me this too."

When he heard that the business had increased, the boss laughed even more happily, "It's right to buy it, I read it myself, but it's more interesting than "Harvest". Of course, you are a cultural person, and your aesthetics are different from rough people like me. If you don't I like it, right, I'm talking nonsense. But let's not talk about anything else, just talking about the pattern on the cover is more troublesome than other magazines."

Jimmy took three magazines and smiled at the boss, "You're busy, I'll go back first."

"Okay, take a slow walk, come and play when you have time."

Jimmy actually likes the liveliness of Yanjing people, but sometimes he feels noisy.

Taking the magazine back to the hotel, he first watched "The Harvest" for a while, and then went out again when the time was almost up. He had many old friends in the local area, and he had to catch up every time he came.

After strolling outside until the evening, Jimmy returned to the hotel again. He wanted to continue watching "The Harvest", but felt a little tired, so he decided to watch the interesting "Sci-Fi World" from the boss's mouth first.

He is like most people, because the word "one day" on the cover is the largest, so he first finds "one day" to see.

After reading the previous part, Jimmy returned to the cover in doubt.

It's a sci-fi world, yes, but why does it seem to have a feeling of watching "Flower City"?There is nothing science fiction about this story.

But the story and the author's style of writing kept him going.

When he saw that the protagonist was stuck on a fixed day, his eyes became odd.

He suddenly remembered a chat with his good friend Harold a few months ago. At that time, Harold mentioned an idea: what if someone was trapped in the same period of time.

At that time, they chatted casually and talked about many possibilities, but they did not come up with a complete story.

A few months later, he saw such a story in "Science Fiction World".

"How would this author write?"

He suddenly became very interested in the follow-up plot, and he wanted to know if the author could give them a better answer to what was not discussed with Harold at the time.
