1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 558 "History of Wang Er's Romance"

Lin Weimin was very surprised when Pan Yaoming visited at night. When he asked, Pan Yaoming didn't go around the bush and said straight to the point: "There is indeed something wrong."

Lin Weimin and he entered the restaurant of the hotel, ordered two cups of coffee, sat down and took a sip, and Pan Yaoming said, "Weimin, if you have the opportunity to work in Xiangjiang, would you like it?"

Lin Weimin looked at Pan Yaoming in amazement, his face was full of puzzlement, he was very polite, where did he start with this?
"What kind of job?"

"I have this job now." Pan Yaoming said.

Pan Yaoming is now the general manager of Xiangjiang Sanlian Bookstore. Lin Weimin asked, "Are you promoted? Or resign?"

Pan Yaoming nodded, "Resign."

"Is there a better place to go?"

Pan Yaoming did not hide anything, and told Lin Weimin what he had encountered recently.

It turned out that not long ago, Pan Yaoming received a call from the editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao" and a famous writer Dong Qiao, saying that Mr. Cha wanted to see him. The Mr. Cha that Dong Qiao said was naturally Jin Yong, the boss of "Ming Pao".

Pan Yaoming was invited to the office building of "Ming Pao". After seeing Jin Yong, the two chatted happily. They gave him a letter of appointment on the spot, and hired him as the editor-in-chief and general manager of "Ming Pao Monthly".

Jin Yong now owns not only "Ming Pao", a major newspaper with a daily sales of more than 18 copies, but also "Ming Pao Monthly", "Ming Pao Weekly", "Ming Pao Evening Post", Ming Pao Publishing House, Ming Window Publishing House and other industries. He has long been a Hong Kong newspaper tycoon.

Pan Yaoming was naturally flattered by his courtesy, and agreed to Jin Yong's invitation on the spot.

But the problem is that he is still holding an important position in the Xiangjiang Sanlian Publishing Store, so it doesn't mean that he can leave just by leaving.

The full name of Sanlian Bookstore is Life·Dushu·Xinzhi Sanlian Bookstore, formerly known as Life Bookstore, Reading Publishing House and Xinzhi Bookstore established in Shanghai in the 30s. In 1948, the three bookstores merged in Xiangjiang to form Life·Dushu·Xinzhi Sanlian Bookstore.

In May 1949, the general management office of Sanlian Bookstore moved from Xiangjiang to Yanjing, leaving six people to stick to Xiangjiang Sanlian.After the liberation of the whole country, Xiangjiang Sanlian Bookstore continued to publish and distribute overseas, becoming one of Xiangjiang's important publishing institutions.

After the main body of Sanlian Bookstore moved to Yanjing, its editorial department was merged into People’s Publishing House in 1951, and soon after, the publishing department was merged into Xinhua Bookstore. Until 1986, Sanlian Bookstore was approved to resume its independence in Yanjing.

At the same time that Yanjing Sanlian Bookstore resumed its independent organizational system, Shanghai Sanlian Bookstore was also formally established that year.

Since then, the Triple Alliance of Three Places has become a marvel in the Chinese publishing industry, and it also confirms the status of this publishing house in the Chinese publishing industry.

And just the year before last, several publishing organizations with mainland backgrounds in Xiangjiang established the Xiangjiang United Publishing Group led by relevant departments. And so on, Pan Yaoming also became one of the directors of United Publishing Group.

The newly established Hong Kong United Publishing Group is the largest comprehensive publishing group in Hong Kong, with businesses including book publishing, book distribution and retail, books, commercial and security printing.

If it is not smaller than Ming Pao Group in terms of scale, it stands to reason that Pan Yaoming is a prince in the group and has a board seat. It would be a bit low-key to go to Ming Pao Group to be the general manager and editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao Monthly" suspected of walking around.

But the problem lies in the red background of Xiangjiang Sanlian Bookstore. Lin Weimin has visited Xiangjiang Sanlian Bookstore, so he naturally knows their conditions. status is somewhat inconsistent.

In contrast, "Ming Pao Monthly" was founded and edited by Jin Yong, and seven or eight editors, including Hu Juren and Dong Qiao, were all well-known celebrities.After years of operation, this magazine has established a very high academic level and cultural taste.

Pan Yaoming took over the "Ming Pao Monthly", he is also the general manager and the editor-in-chief. He holds two positions and holds great power. Not excited?
Lin Weimin also understood the situation after listening to his narration, "So, you mean that you plan to let me take over your position as the general manager of Xiangjiang Sanlian?"

Pan Yaoming nodded, "Not bad."

Lin Weimin laughed, "Brother Yaoming, your idea is a bit whimsical. I work in the Chinese Literature Society, how can I come to Xiangjiang?"

"Our Xiangjiang Sanlian Bookstore has the same spirit as the mainland. As long as you nod, you don't need to worry about all the procedures. I will take care of it for you. I have already talked to Dr. Li about this matter, and he also agrees."

The "Dr. Li" that Pan Yaoming refers to is Li Zuze, the chairman of Xiangjiang United Publishing Group. Pan Yaoming wants to resign and go to Jin Yong's "Ming Pao Monthly", not only to give an explanation to Hong Kong Sanlian, but also to the United Publishing Group.

And Lin Weimin was the account given by Pan Yaoming.

Lin Weimin groaned without speaking, and Pan Yaoming was not in a hurry, sipping his coffee, waiting for his decision.

The status of Xiangjiang Sanlian Publishing and Yanjing Sanlian Publishing is comparable. Since Yanjing Sanlian Publishing regained its independence, it is under the jurisdiction of the Publishing Department like the Guowen Society.

In other words, if Lin Weimin agrees to Pan Yaoming's invitation to work in Xiangjiang Joint Publishing, it will be a step forward.Not to mention, the salary and treatment alone are much higher than those in the mainland, and they are still transferred to Xiangjiang to work. For many people in this era, it is a dream.

Pan Yaoming waited confidently for Lin Weimin's decision. He has been worrying about his successor for the past few days.

Hearing Comrade Liu suddenly talk about Lin Weimin's business trip to Xiangjiang from the mainland, his eyes lit up.

He has known Lin Weimin for several years. Although he has not been in touch with him, he occasionally hears news about him. He knows that he has now been promoted to the deputy editor-in-chief of the National Literature Publishing House. Has maintained the top spot in the domestic literary periodicals, needless to say the ability to work.

It is perfect for him to be the home of Xiangjiang Sanlian Bookstore.

After a while, Lin Weimin looked at Pan Yaoming, and then said, "Brother Yaoming, thank you for your kindness, but I have no plans to change places."

Pan Yaoming was a bit surprised when he heard the words, and persuaded: "Weimin, I know that with your popularity and wealth, you don't care about the income and status that work can bring you. But you can stay in the publishing industry for so many years. Prove that you are passionate about this industry.

You also know Xiangjiang Sanlian, this place is definitely suitable for your future development, you come, not only the general manager has the position of general manager, but also the editor-in-chief is also yours, this is not only a further problem.At the same time, it can also let you flex your muscles, which is a very rare opportunity. "

Lin Weimin's expression was slightly surprised when he heard the words. Just now Pan Yaoming only said that he was appointed as the general manager, not the editor-in-chief.

Pan Yaoming looked at his expression and explained: "I didn't want to talk about this at first. The person I work with is going to retire soon. There are no people for such two important positions at the same time, so I have to come forward to find one myself. Successor. I can assure you that as long as you promise me, these two positions will be yours, and I can take you to see Dr. Li."

Li Zu is the chairman of Xiangjiang United Publishing Group. With his approval, Pan Yaoming's conditions for agreeing to Lin Weimin are naturally not a problem.

When Pan Yaoming was speaking, Lin Weimin's expression returned to normal, and he said, "Brother Yaoming, you don't need to talk anymore. Your conditions are indeed very impressive, but I have been in Yanjing and the Guowen Society for so many years, and I have already gotten used to the environment there. "

Pan Yaoming originally wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Lin Weimin's firm eyes, without the slightest hint of emotion, he could only swallow the words that came to his lips.

"You are indeed the most suitable candidate, what a pity!" Pan Yaoming said with a somewhat regretful tone.

After thanking Pan Yaoming again for his kindness, the two chatted for a while.

"How many days are you planning to stay in Xiangjiang this time? Have a meal together tomorrow and meet some friends who know Xiangjiang." Pan Yaoming said.

"I came to Xiangjiang this time on a business trip. The matter has been negotiated, and I plan to go back tomorrow!" Lin Weimin said.

"It's too hasty, I thought you could stay a few more days."

The two chatted for a while, seeing that it was too late, Pan Yaoming left.

Early the next morning, Lin Weimin arrived at the airport by car.

With more than an hour before boarding, he wandered around the airport bookstore.

He found his own "Da Ming Dynasty 1566" on the bookshelf, and also found the volume of anthology published solely for him by Wandao Xindi Literature Publishing House.

Before 80, Wandao had a great influence on Xiangjiang, which can be seen from the film market. Since the [-]s, Wandao market has been the most important ticket warehouse for Xiangjiang movies.

The same is true for the book market. The Wandao market is several times that of Xiangjiang, and its economic strength is also comparable. They all use traditional Chinese characters. The cultural circles and the publishing industry cooperate very closely. There is no big difference in the tastes of readers in the two places. The market is infinitely similar.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the books published by Xindi Literature Publishing House are displayed in the airport bookstore in Xiangjiang.

Lin Weimin flipped through the books on the bookshelf with great interest, and as he looked at them, a familiar name appeared in his eyes.

Ok?
Lin Weimin looked at the titles on the bookshelf, frowned, took the book in his hand, flipped through it again, and confirmed that it was correct, he couldn't help laughing.

Title: "Wang Er's Romantic History", published by Xiangjiang Prosperity Publishing House.

That's right, it is the collection of novels published by Wang Xiaobo in Xiangjiang.

Most of the protagonists in his novels are called Wang Er, which is why Lin Weimin felt familiar just now.

He flipped through the novel again, with a teasing smile on his face.

Xiangjiang's publishing house is using Wang Xiaobo's works as QS novels?

"Wang Er's Romantic History" is a collection of novels, a collection of three novellas by Wang Xiaobo, "Golden Age", "Standing at Thirty" and "Time Like Water Flows".

Lin Weimin recalled the contents of these novels in his mind.

If you want to say that Wang Xiaobo was wronged, there seems to be a little bit of it.

But if you want to say that he is innocent, he doesn't seem so innocent.

how to say?

I can only blame the unscrupulous publishing house for being blind!
Lin Weimin denounced the vulgar taste of the publishing house in his heart, then took two books from the bookshelf, and paid for them decisively.

Such a good souvenir must be taken back for Xiaobo to have a good look at!

Well, very memorable!
