Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 105 I Can't Give the Compilation, But I Can Add Money
"Come, come, editor Yu, have another drink!"

"No, no, Xiao Cao, I still have work in the afternoon, so I really can't drink any more."

"OK, then don't drink, shall we... have two more cups of coffee?"

"Well, that's a good feeling!"

"Waiter, two more cups of coffee! One more puff pastry!"

When the waiter came up with two servings of coffee and cake, Cao Zhiqiang cheerfully drank coffee and ate snacks with Editor Yu Deli.

Editor Yu Deli is very happy, after all, this is the restaurant of the Peking Exhibition Hall!The old Mo restaurant!

That's right, the restaurant that Cao Zhiqiang invited Yu Deli to was actually the former Moscow restaurant, but because of well-known reasons, it was renamed to Beiping Exhibition Hall Restaurant, and it still has this name.

According to Cao Zhiqiang's memory, it will be a year before this restaurant changes its name back to Moscow Restaurant.

Although the name has not been changed yet, the food here has changed back to mainly Russian-style western food, not Chinese food.

Of course, there are also classic Chinese dishes such as egg fried rice at this time. Anyway, Lao Mo in this period, no, the restaurant of the Peking Exhibition Hall in this period is a rare period of combining Chinese and Western.

In the future, if you want to experience the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures here again, drinking capital red cabbage soup and eating mixed egg fried rice at the same time, it will not be easy.

However, because it is a combination of Chinese and Western food, the Russian-style western food here is far less authentic than Xinqiao Hotel, and even worse than the Dadi Western Restaurant opened in the underground civil air defense work, known as "Little Old Mo".

But even if this place is no longer called Moscow restaurant, even if the western food here is no longer authentic, the brand here is still very strong, and the price of the dishes here is still very expensive.

So even Yu Deli, as an editor of a big magazine, is usually reluctant to come here to eat openly.

If it wasn't for Cao Zhiqiang's treat this time, he would really be reluctant to come here.

After all, if you come here to eat once, if you want to eat enough, you have to spend less than ten yuan per person. This is really high consumption in an era when the average monthly salary is only 40 yuan.

It's just that this level of consumption is really trivial in Cao Zhiqiang's eyes.

Just this meal cost no more than 30 yuan, so Cao Zhiqiang didn't care about it at all.

Well, the monthly income of an ordinary worker, in the eyes of Cao Zhiqiang, is no longer a small amount of money.

Not to mention 30 yuan, even 300 yuan for medical expenses is a small amount of money in Cao Zhiqiang's view.

What is the perspective of the rich, this is it.

"Xiao Cao, don't worry."

Editor Yu Deli, who took a sip of coffee, said with a smile.

"I have already found a lot of people, and most of these people are in the same situation as me. They are unwilling to be lonely, and they don't want to earn their qualifications honestly.

As for them, they are all very interested in working as pioneers in the New Publishing House.

So, as long as you can get the license of the publishing house and set up the shelf of the publishing house, people can pull you over at any time, and there are plenty of them. "

"That's good." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "However, have you mentioned that if this publishing house is private, I'm afraid there is no career establishment."

"I really don't have that." Yu Deli frowned, "However, a publishing house cannot be run privately. At most, it is affiliated. How can you run a private publishing house?"

"That's not necessarily true." Cao Zhiqiang said with a chuckle, "It's up to people. Everything is changing now. If I have a relationship with a big leader, who says I can't be No. 1 in starting a private publishing house?"

"Well." Yu Deli tapped his fingers on the table, "If that's the case, it's really troublesome if there is no career editor. If there is no career editor, aren't they all contract workers? In this way, the attractiveness will drop. Many people may not be willing to come.”

"It's okay, I can add more money." Cao Zhiqiang said lightly.

"What?" Yu Deli was taken aback, "What are you talking about? Add money?"

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile, and then took a sip of his coffee.

To tell the truth, I am probably used to drinking the high-end coffee produced by the system, and drinking the coffee here, the taste is really indescribable.

That's it, it's a high-end restaurant. I feel that the coffee here is clearly a low-end coffee that fools people.

That’s right, Lao Mo at this time, no, it’s the restaurant of the Beiping Exhibition Hall, which hasn’t fully recovered, especially the type of western food, which is far worse than before.

What's more, he feels that the western food here is not as good as that of Xinqiao Restaurant.

Xinqiao Hotel has red wine and steak, but there is no real steak to eat here, and even the coffee is not freshly ground coffee, which is really bad.

Shaking his head and putting down his coffee cup, Cao Zhiqiang said, "Old Yu, if I can really start a private publishing house, the production may not be enough, but I can add more money.

For example, you are currently paying 55 yuan per month. If you come to my private publishing house, I will give you a salary of [-] yuan a month, plus bonuses.

Everyone else pays more.

For example, the original 30 yuan a month, come to me and give [-] yuan.

Originally 40 yuan a month, come to me and give it [-]!
In addition, I have a high bonus.

The bonus is calculated according to the sales rebate, the higher the sales, the higher the bonus.

In other words, working in my company may not have much preparation, but the income is definitely higher than those people.

I can't provide the preparation, but I can add money.

How do you feel about this? "

"This, this relationship is good." Yu Deli smiled, "If this is the case, then they must be happy."

"That's it." Cao Zhiqiang spread his hands, "Actually, let me tell you, what age is this? If it's not compiled, there's no money."

"Indeed." Yu Deli nodded, "However, what you said is very good, but the premise is that you have to have a publishing house first. If you can't get the license, it's useless to say anything."

"Don't worry." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "It won't be long. After some days, after I finish some of my personal affairs, I will go to the big leader. I believe there will be results soon."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news." Yu Deli nodded, "But, are you sure?"

"To be honest, I'm not [-]% sure." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "But don't worry, if it really doesn't work and the publishing house can't manage it, then we can first start a magazine as you said, run a magazine, you should have the way?"

"Of course." Yu Deli said with a chuckle, "The magazine is much easier. As long as you have money, I'll find another affiliate. It's easy."

"Isn't this the end?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "So, there are ways to advance and retreat, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm definitely not afraid. What can I be afraid of?" Yu Deli said with a smile, "I just think that the signboard of the publishing house should be louder. It would be the best if you can do it. If not, we can start a publishing house together." no problem.

Just relying on your talent and my ability, let's open a publishing house that has the final say, and the money will definitely flow in! "

"I love hearing that!"

Cao Zhiqiang picked up the coffee in front of him and said, "Come on, for our cause, replace wine with coffee, let's go!"

"For our cause!" Yu Deli also picked up his coffee cup, "Do it!"

As soon as the two parties clinked glasses, they drank their endless cup of coffee together and drank it down in one gulp.

After drinking coffee, the two sides looked at each other and laughed.

After drinking this glass of wine, Yu Deli looked at the watch on his wrist, and said: "Sorry, it's getting late, I really have to go back, there are still many manuscripts waiting for my review."

"So urgent?" Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback.

"I can't help it." Yu Deli smiled bitterly, "Who made me a small person? Small people are like this. If you do too much, you will not be rewarded. If you do something wrong, you will be criticized and your bonus will be deducted, especially at the end of the month. If you don't work hard, you can't do it."

Speaking of this, Yu Deli stood up: "Well, I'll go first, and we will get together next time."

"Okay, okay." Cao Zhiqiang also stood up, "Go quickly, I'll come here, don't worry."

"Okay, that's it." Yu Deli nodded, then put on his suit jacket, "See you later!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Deli left in a hurry alone.

After Yu Deli left, Cao Zhiqiang sat down again, drinking tea and eating snacks slowly, while thinking silently.

In fact, in the conversation just now, he could feel that Yu Deli's enthusiasm for starting his own personal publishing house was not enough.

Most likely, it's because I haven't obtained the license of that publishing house for a long time, and I still talk about opening a private publishing house without shame.

Things like this are said with enthusiasm at the beginning, but as time goes by, the enthusiasm will gradually cool down.

If it's all about striking while the iron is hot, and I haven't replied to him after so long, it's no wonder he has no enthusiasm.

It seems that from the beginning, he didn't really believe that he could start a publishing house, but he just didn't want to offend himself.

However, he is not willing to continue to be his proofreading editor, and he also has a little bit of his own pettiness.

If the conversation is not wrong, his real purpose should be to partner with him to open a magazine that is affiliated with a certain unit.

I am rich and talented, and he has connections and connections. If the two parties cooperate, find a unit to be affiliated with, and open a magazine, it is really not difficult.

There are too many people running magazines now. For example, when Reader’s Digest was first launched, it seemed that there were only two or three people.

There is also the later king of fairy tales, who was alone at the beginning.

So it is entirely possible for Yu Deli to start his own magazine.

All Yu Deli lacked was money, but in terms of money, he happened to have it.

Coupled with his reputation as a cutting-edge poet, it was the right time to open a magazine at this time!

That's right, he must have come up with this idea, otherwise he wouldn't have continued nagging himself for so long.

From this point of view, Yu Deli was not optimistic about Cao Zhiqiang's idea of ​​starting a private publishing house. He just wanted to run into a wall, and then went back and continued to open a magazine with him.

In fact, as a time traveler, Cao Zhiqiang certainly knew that opening a publishing house was far more difficult than opening a magazine.

Even in Cao Zhiqiang's previous life, in his impression, it seemed that there was only one private publishing house in China.

I forgot the specific name of that private publishing house, but I remember that it seemed to be established by a group of scholars and scientists. It is a publishing house that mainly publishes professional popular science books and professional journals.

Except for the private publishing house established by a group of scholars, in the days that followed, it seemed that there was no publishing house run by the private sector anymore.

But, although it is difficult, since it can appear, it shows that this is not a fantasy, and it can be done.

Now in 1983, the reform has just started, everything is new, and everything is crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Especially now that China and the United States are still in the honeymoon period, the pace of reform is getting bigger and bigger, and various new trends of thought are flooding. At this time, all walks of life seem to be conservative and closed, but in fact it is an era where everything is possible.

Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about the royalty system for manuscript fees. He is a little guy, didn't he accidentally become No. 1 before?
Although with the help of Yu Deli during this period, coupled with his outstanding talent, the first poem was an instant hit, and later he clamored that there is no place to stay here, and he said that he would go to other small publishing houses to publish at his own expense. The book is a threat.

If it weren't for these reasons, I am afraid that the writer's publishing house at that time would not have agreed to play royalties with him, even if it was a royalty system with a non-disclosure agreement.

But no matter what, this is ultimately because the general environment has changed at this time, which has loosened the mood of the entire publishing house, especially when there are more publishing houses and the model of publishing books at their own expense.

Without the self-publishing model as a threat, it was impossible for me to discuss the royalty system with the publishing house before.

In other words, if you want to start your own private publishing house, or even start a private company, this is the right time.

If after this period, it will be difficult to do it later.

At this time, I want money, talent and talent. I am still in the capital, and I have a big leader behind Shazhu.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang poured another glass of water and drank it all in one gulp, before letting out a sharp breath.

"It's time to ask Shazhu to fulfill his promise and let him take me to see the big leader. We can't keep procrastinating."

"I was not in a hurry before, because my money was not in place yet, and I was not prepared enough."

"Furthermore, if the stick didn't come back, Qin Huairu is worried, so he is not at ease."

"Now that I have all the money in place, my preparations are almost done, and brother Banggan has returned safely, Shazhu can no longer shirk."

"In order to avoid long nights and dreams, after returning from Guiyang this time, it's time to meet the big leader."
