Era: Beginning from the Modu Translation Studio

Chapter 92 No.80 Nine Most Critical Moments

Recently, there are always a few spy war novels piled up on Jiang Shan's desk. The reason is to create an atmosphere for writing spy war novels.

Zhang Lu has been very busy these two days, the first thing he did when he entered the house was: "Mom, have you bought today's "Pujiang Daily?"

Zhang's mother was about to fall asleep, and then she remembered this: "When I went to the vegetable market, I saw a thick stack. When I turned around, I asked again, and it was all sold out."

"Oh," Zhang Lu hurriedly walked out of the house: "next time, buy it as soon as you see it. I haven't bought a newspaper for a few days."

"It's so late, where are you going?"

"I'll go to Erbao's house and ask."

When he came back, Zhang Lu was holding a copy of "Pujiang Daily" in his hand, and he didn't even raise his head when he walked. Fortunately, he was more familiar with the terrain of his home.

Under the night of the same city, Ying Liangchen was still sitting at the desk reading the newspaper.

Tonight, he accidentally saw a copy of "Pujiang Daily" on his youngest daughter's desk.

Facing him head-on was Jiang Shan's serialized novel "Latent".

Seeing that the name was quite unusual, Ying Liangchen scanned a few lines, and couldn't move his eyes at all.

After that, he simply carried all the "Pujiang Daily" in his daughter's room to his desk.

After sitting for a while, I finally saw the latest one.

[At this time, there was news that Yan-an was captured by the national army. Yu Zecheng and Cuiping were very disturbed and could only lie in wait.

Yan'an was occupied by the national army, and some documents were not destroyed in time.

Xie Ruolin, who is engaged in information business, accidentally bought some information about "Emei Peak" from others, and he began to doubt the real identities of Yu Zecheng and Cuiping...]

Ying Liangchen looked at the newspaper in front of him, and he couldn't finish it: "How can we not destroy it in time, throwing a grenade is also good."

The voices of the two daughters were heard from the outer room, and Ying Liangchen hurriedly shouted to the outside: "Ruhua, I will buy this "Pujiang Daily" tomorrow, so you don't have to buy it anymore."

"Dad, you took all my newspapers?" Ying Ruhua pushed open the door and leaned in with a smile.

The waterfall-like long hair is loose on the shoulders, and the smiling eyes look like a spring breeze.

"Dad found a good thing in the newspaper," Ying Liangchen liked his little daughter the most: "I'll go to the newsstand early tomorrow morning."

……

March 12, early morning.

A dark green postman's bicycle drove out of the Pujiang Daily office.

With the ringing of car bells, the "Pujiang Daily" of that day began to spread out in major newsstands.

It is still as popular as usual, especially in the past half month, the newly launched "Latent" has become a dark horse to maintain the popularity of "Pujiang Daily".

After several months of revision efforts, if you stop a random citizen in Pujiang City for an interview.

Which newspaper do you like to read the most?Most of them will tell you: "Pujiang Daily".

Readers of "Pujiang Daily" who have begun to adapt to the new and revised editions, but after reading the novel serialization of "Latent" today, they found a strange... thing at the bottom of the fourth page of the newspaper.

【Warmly celebrate, the newly developed and marketed "Chunlei" brand advanced shampoo by Pujiang Daily Chemical No. [-] Factory.

This product is a three-in-one high-end shampoo with a variety of precious medicinal materials, which combines hair beautification, hair conditioning and hair growth...]

In just 20 lines, it is the first time that the masses of this era have seen the enthusiastic recommendation of a commodity by the media in newspapers.

Although it is just a quick count, many citizens still remember the concepts of several shampoos: Chunlei, high-end, luxury, and three-in-one.

Director Cao of Pujiang Daily Chemical Factory and Section Chief He of the business department walked side by side to the warehouse full of "Spring Thunder" shampoo.

Director Cao holds a copy of "Pujiang Daily" in his hand behind his back, looking worriedly at the boxes of "Spring Thunder" in the warehouse.

"Director, the advertisement is finally published,"

In the early winter days, the backlog of this warehouse made Chief He's brow sweat: "I think it must have some effect."

"It's really tricky." Director Cao shook his head: "The advertisement has been published in the newspapers, but it is also our last card. If it is still..."

Director Cao didn't dare to say anything further, and he didn't dare to think about it: "Let's talk about it in a few days later..."

At this moment, Section Chief Yuan of the Red Star Daily Chemical Factory was also standing in the factory manager's office holding a copy of "Pujiang Daily".

"Director Hong, I saw it early this morning," Section Chief Yuan laughed: "This is an advertisement. At that time, the leader of this newspaper office personally came to my office to promote it."

"Oh?" Director Hong looked at him: "Why didn't you agree to him then?"

Section Chief Yuan shook his head: "Who knows if it will work? I asked them if they could guarantee sales, but they couldn't guarantee it themselves. They just came here to cheat money."

Director Hong thought about it carefully: "Yes, the purpose of spending money on advertising is to ensure sales."

At this moment, Section Chief Yuan's little abacus was set aside:

"Factory manager, I have a note. Hasn't Pujiang Daily Chemicals already advertised? Now it depends on their sales. If it is good, then our Red Star shampoo can also... Speaking of which, our factory's shampoo is not bad. It's a dollar cheaper than them."

Factory Director Hong was full of lawsuits: "This time, I really hope their factory can succeed. Our batch of products is really a big loss."

……

Speaking of the place where the atmosphere is the most tense, there is Pujiang Daily.

Jiang Hai sat in the editor-in-chief's office, saying that I was not nervous, but he couldn't do any work, so he simply lit another cigarette.

Jiang Shan also has the same look as him, and he followed the boss back to the unit to report today.

At the most critical moment, Jiang Shan felt that he must have a piece of experience.

"Why is there still no movement?" Cai Wensheng, who was sitting on the side, asked.

Jiang Shan glanced at him: "What news do you want?"

Cai Wensheng felt that since he couldn't avoid it, he might as well come earlier: "Shouldn't the higher-ups call to criticize and educate us?"

Jiang Hai nodded: "Yes, I'm also waiting to be scolded. It's almost noon, why haven't you called yet?"

The more Cai Wensheng thought about it, the more strange he became: "Could it be that they haven't seen the advertisement in our newspaper yet?"

Jiang Shan also felt that things should not develop like this: "It is possible that our newspaper is a small business, and the leaders above may not have noticed."

Jiang Hai frowned: "It shouldn't be, our latest movement is not small."

Cai Wensheng looked more anxiously at the boots that had not fallen off: "How about I call and remind them to take a look?"

Jiang Hai and Jiang Shan all looked at Editor-in-Chief Cai, and were together... stunned.

At this moment, a series of phone ring tones came out of nowhere.

Jiang Hai was so startled that he spilled soot, and Jiang Shan and Editor-in-Chief Cai also swayed reflexively.

In fact, one is more nervous than the other.

"Hello~" Jiang Hai's voice was not nervous at all: "I am Jiang Hai from Pujiang Daily."

"Is this Comrade Jiang Hai?" The voice on the phone sounded particularly excited: "I am Shi Jian from Jiefang Daily."

"Oh, hello Comrade Shi Jian," Jiang Hai covered the receiver and said silently to the two people beside him: the editor-in-chief of Xie Fang Daily.

Shi Jian said on the phone: "Comrade Jiang Hai, I just saw your ... shampoo advertisement that was published in Pujiang Daily today."

Then, there was no sound over there, and Jiang Hai said "Hello" twice to the phone.

"I'm really sorry," Shi Jian's voice came out again: "After seeing this advertisement, I'm so excited."

Why does Jiang Hai feel that he is more excited than himself: "I am also in the same mood."

Shi Jian: "You may not know it, but our newspaper office has also prepared two advertisements, but as the editor-in-chief, I don't have the courage like you."

Jiang Hai was completely shocked: My good fellow, the third child only told himself that "Wen Hui Bao" was preparing an advertisement, but he didn't expect that "Jie Fang Daily" also had a backup.

Shi Jian said excitedly: "This advertisement in "Pujiang Daily" is too historically significant. The glacier of advertisements in our country began to be unblocked under the decision of your editor-in-chief Jiang."

Jiang Hai was praised a bit high: "Editor-in-Chief Shi is serious. Launching a commercial is a matter of benefiting the country and the people. You and I should work together."

Jiang Shan, who was on the phone, gave the boss a thumbs up.

Just after Jiang Hai hung up on "Jie Fang Daily", the editor-in-chief of "Wen Hui Bao" also called.

He said the same thing as Shi Jian.

Then, the advertisement in "Pujiang Daily" drifted far away along with the radio waves.

All of a sudden, "Yangcheng Morning Post", "Workers' Daily", "Tianjing Daily"...even "Renmin Daily" called to inquire.

After learning that this is not the so-called news of the manufacturer's research and development results, but a real advertisement.

They congratulated the editor-in-chief Jiang Hai one after another, and expressed that they would learn from the "Pujiang Daily" the experience of revision and advertising.

"Hey~" Jiang Hai hung up the phone of "Renmin Daily": "Why did things develop like this, they all come to learn from me."

"Good thing," Jiang Shan was also surprised, "Maybe it's because of the just-concluded conference?"

Cai Wensheng thinks it can only be because of this: "No wonder the Municipal Propaganda Department asked us to set the advertisement date on the 23rd, and the superior leaders are wise."

Now that the matter has developed like this, Jiang Shan took out the manuscript payment withdrawal form that editor-in-chief Cai Wensheng had opened earlier from his pocket.

"Editor Jiang," Jiang Shan handed it over with a smile: "Please sign your name, so I can go to the financial office to collect a manuscript fee."

Jiang Hai took the list: "9 characters, 900 yuan?" After speaking, he looked at Cai Wensheng.

Cai Wensheng’s publicity report: “Comrade Jiang Shan’s novella “Latent” is very popular with readers, so I set him a manuscript fee of 10 yuan per thousand characters.”

In 1978, the literary manuscript fee was still at the standard of 5 to 10 yuan per thousand characters. Although it was a different matter for famous artists, as long as the manuscript fee exceeded 800 yuan, they had to pay a certain amount of party dues.

Some timid famous artists will even hand in all manuscript fees after more than 800 yuan.

"Don't write so many words at once," Jiang Hai picked up a pen and changed 9 to 8, and then: "First settle the manuscript fee of 8 words, and calculate the rest later."

Jiang Shan didn't know the way to do it, but he didn't ask further: "Success, let's count to 8 characters first."

Just as Jiang Shan received the manuscript fee bill, the phone on the desk rang again.

This time, Jiang Hai picked up the phone unhurriedly: "Hi, I'm Jiang, the editor-in-chief of Pujiang Daily..."

"Comrade Jiang Hai," the voice on the phone exploded, so Jiang Shan and Cai Wensheng didn't even have to put their faces on it.

"Can you still be the editor-in-chief?" The voice on the other end was not simple: "You know the nature of advertising in newspapers..."
