Era: Beginning from the Modu Translation Studio

Chapter 47 The First College Entrance Examination List

The master adjusted his glasses and checked again: "Two copies of Pujiang Daily?"

"Correct."

Before the master turned around to pick it up, a bicycle suddenly approached.

Stretching on a sideways leg, he shouted to his master, "Get a copy from Pujiang Daily."

The master didn't say anything more, and quickly put a large stack of "Pujiang Daily" in the most eye-catching position.

Located on Nan/Jing Road, this newsstand has a green leather lacquered body and translucent glass.

Compared with the common newsstands on the market, both the types and the quantity of newspapers and periodicals are much more comprehensive.

Gradually, the thick "Pujiang Daily" on the counter became shorter than the naked eye.

If this is a moment, you climb up to the fourth floor of "Pujiang New World Department Store" which was just restored to its original name this year.

Look down.

In addition to seeing the braided cars that shuttle back and forth, and the bicycles parked in rows...

You will also find some young figures moving quickly on the streets in all directions of Nan/Jing Road.

Gradually, figures from different directions converged into one focal point.

The green postal kiosk has been completely surrounded by these figures.

Facing the swarming crowd, the master, who was already sweating profusely, quickly turned around and took out another stack of "Pujiang Daily" from under the shelf.

Two cents, two cents, newspaper, newspaper...

Before noon, the 300 copies of "Pujiang Daily" had bottomed out.

The same situation continues at different newsstands.

It's just a matter of time.

Starting at 6 o'clock in the morning, more and more people discovered the new atmosphere in the "Pujiang Daily".

Especially the group of young people who lined up outside the city library early, waiting for the door to open.

The purpose of their coming here every day is to wait to read dozens of sets of "Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" in the library.

"Look, Pujiang Daily has published a letter to Education Publishing House..."

"And this, look at the reverse side."

"Every day... Mathematics, physics and chemistry, today's newspaper actually has exercises?"

"Show me quickly, ah... and analysis!"

"I have never seen these exam questions before."

"From today onwards, this newspaper will serve readers and friends..."

"Great, I will buy "Pujiang Daily" every day from now on."

"You help me line up first, and I'll go buy it right away."

"I'll go as well."

"Bring me a copy."

……

"Pujiang Daily" not only has mathematics, physics and chemistry exercises, but also news of answer analysis spread like wildfire.

In 77, the number of students taking the college entrance examination in Pujiang reached 11, and the number of admitted students was only over 1200.

This year, the number of people taking the college entrance examination has doubled and the age range is wider, but the number of people admitted is only more than 2600.

As long as it is a topic related to exam questions and exercises, there will be a large number of people following it.

This does not include students who are studying in school.

Adults who are preparing to join the college entrance examination one after another.

For a while, the whole city was looking for "Pujiang Daily".

At noon, something unexpected happened.

Jiang Hai, the editor-in-chief who hadn't gotten in touch with the Educational Publishing House for a long time, was going to visit in person.

"The phone has been disconnected," Jiang Hai said as he went down the stairs, "I'd better go there and make sure."

"Just send other reporters," Cai Wensheng followed along:
"Looking at the momentum in the morning, if you don't want to confirm the content of tomorrow, Jiang Shan suggested to open a column to analyze the test questions of the past two years..."

Before they could finish speaking, both of them stopped.

From a distance, the iron gate of Pujiang Daily was surrounded by people.

The concierge was shouting something at the top of his voice.

Cai Wensheng wondered, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Hai's first reaction was: "Today's "Pujiang Daily" must be sold out."

"What time is it?" Cai Wensheng exclaimed.

"Editor-in-Chief,"

A female editor stuck her head out from the window on the second floor: "Come up and answer the phone, Education Press is looking for you."

"Hey," Jiang Hai turned around and ran in, "I really want to come here."

Cai Wensheng looked back and forth, and hurried towards the gate.

Only at this time did he know.

Even the day's newspaper posted on the bulletin board outside the gate was taken away.

"Comrades and classmates, there are really no more, and they were all sent out early in the morning."

"Not a single extra newspaper."

"..."

After persuasion for a long time, one group just left, and another group came again.

In desperation, Cai Wensheng hurriedly asked the Supplement Department to write two big "Pujiang Daily" was sold out that day."

One on the left and one on the right, posted in the most conspicuous place outside the gate.

"You have seen the enthusiasm of the masses, right?"

At this moment, Jiang Hai, who was sitting in the editor-in-chief's office, was talking to the vice president of the Educational Publishing House by phone:
"After listening to the reporter's interview report, I am also worried for them."

"What? You have been working overtime to print it. That's great. Our "Pujiang Daily" would like to thank all the students in the city..."

"You don't know that outside the gate of our newspaper office, there are still young people who are eager to learn."

The other end of the phone was shocked.

Originally, I only knew that today's "Pujiang Daily" published a letter to the publishing house.

Later, I heard that many people who were preparing to take the college entrance examination looked for "Pujiang Daily" in the streets.

"Editor Jiang, thank you for being timely and allowing us to hear the voice of the masses."

Don't they know how tight the nine volumes of "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Series" are, and they have seen it before.

Otherwise, I won't be working overtime.

But after the first batch of books were put on the shelves in Pujiang, orders from other cities followed, and it was really hard to keep up.

"Please tell the readers that "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Series" is rushing to be printed, and the printers of our publishing house are already doing their best."

Jiang Hai didn't like hearing this anymore, the printing factory of their newspaper office was very busy.

Is it due to unfair distribution or incompetent leadership.

"Editor Jiang, I called today and I also want to ask you "Pujiang Daily" to help us tell those students."

"Okay, you say."

"Actually, apart from "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Series", there are many books that are beneficial to the college entrance examination, such as short stories and essays by Yang/Shuo and Qin/Mu..."

"Language?"

"Yes, this year's Chinese college entrance examination paper is divided into 100 points, but the composition accounts for 70 points. If the candidates read more short stories in advance, it will help them in the composition..."

At this moment, Editor-in-Chief Jiang tapped his fingers on the table while thinking about the other party's proposal.

Do you want me to promote his new book that is not selling well?
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, lamenting the shrewdness of the cultural unit, old fox!
Suddenly, Jiang Hai put away the smile at the corner of his mouth.

Isn't this free advertising?

Thinking of the advertising contract that is still lying in the drawer.

Jiang Hai's eyes lit up, and it was time to cross the river by feeling the stones.

Maybe it's really a good thing for you and me.

"I think it can be considered," he thought more and more deeply, and then said firmly:

"Don't worry, President Fang, as the editor-in-chief of Pujiang Daily, I will fully support your work."

Jiang Hai made a pun.

It is very obvious that he is expressly telling the other party that he must remember his kindness.

"Support each other and support each other, everything is for the candidates."

"Yeah, it's not easy for them."

"Then... Editor-in-Chief Jiang, I'll have someone send some novels to your newspaper for reference in a while."

"Okay, you can send all the books you need to recommend to candidates."

A college entrance examination book list was born in this way.

The planned economy is quietly transforming into a market economy.
