The fate of writers

Chapter 13 Guanhai turns over and climbs to the top
Jiang Ling had no way of knowing Xu Shizhi's depression, and with the popularity of Haichao magazine, he would suffer a heavy blow.

Jiang family.

Liuzhi came back gloomily with Xiaotian. Seeing this, Sister Meng quickly stepped forward and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"

"Guanhai She doesn't know how to do business. How can there be a reason why customers want to buy but not sell?" At this time, Liu Zhi forgot about Guanhai She's insight into people.

"When my wife and I go again, for some reason, Guanhai Club limits the purchase of one newspaper per person." Oda waved the two newspapers in his hand.She was still laughing at the wife who said that she couldn't buy it too late, but she never thought that she couldn't buy it even if she really had money.

"Madam, this is a good thing! Restricting one person to buy one copy shows that this issue of Haichao magazine is selling well. The stock of Guanhai Club is not enough, it should be because they want more people to read the novels of the eldest lady." Sister Meng always The key to the problem can be pinpointed.

"You're right, it's my A-Ling who writes well, so they have a good eye." Liu Zhi was easily coaxed.Her original intention of buying more newspapers was to support Jiang Ling. Since Jiang Ling's novels are well written, it is a good thing that Haichao magazine sells well.

Seeing that Sister Meng had soothed Liu Zhi's emotions with a few words, Xiaotian was very impressed. She felt her pulse, and she was able to speak: "As expected of my wife's daughter, she is quite talented in writing novels, which is incomparable to anyone like her." .”

"That's natural. What kind of articles did Qiuhao write? I've never heard of it. He even spread rumors, implying that my family, A Ling, took his front page. It's a slap in the face. I haven't developed a half-hearted attitude after reading and writing for so many years. I think His heart is smaller than the eye of a needle." Liu Zhi had heard Jiang Ling say Qiuhao, that is, Xu Shizhi's way of acting, rebellious, heartless and ungrateful, she despised him very much.

"The eldest lady should be able to establish a firm foothold in the literary world of Yin County now." Sister Meng's words were unanimously agreed by Liu Zhi and Xiao Tian.

Jiang Ling was able to overwhelm the old author Xu Shizhi just after his debut, and the road ahead must be smooth.Although it may also cause the jealousy of narrow-minded people, Jiang Ling has long been out of the same path as those who are used to bitterness.And not to be envied is mediocrity.Liu Zhi feels that geniuses always have to bear more, and her daughter A Ling is a rising star in the future.

"Jinxiu Cloth Village has already let go. Being women, we still have some advantages. I heard that the sons and daughters of the Iron Lady's family are making trouble again. This is our chance. Currently, we are the only ones who can come up with a lot of cash. One delivery , and then cut half of it." The topic of willow branch changed so quickly that people were caught off guard for a while.

Fortunately, Xiaotian kept following Jinxiu Cloth Store's business and was able to pick up the conversation in time: "Iron Lady's stall will be so troublesome for the children of enemies in the rest of their lives. Iron Lady must be eager to exchange the shop for good land now. Once it is implemented, it should be possible to cut it by half. However, although there is a company that does not have enough cash, it has enough fertile land. If they directly trade the fertile land, then we will not be able to compete. "

"Fine land can be easily bought and sold? At the beginning when Ah Ling and I sold Jiang Jiatian, I don't know how many people got the land and told us that our mother and daughter were prodigal. They didn't have enough money, and they didn't have the courage to exchange good land." Liu Zhi concluded.The daughter has gained her footing, and she, the mother, cannot be left behind.I still have to make a living. In the future, Ah Ling doesn't want to write, so he will go home and inherit the shop.

Jiang Ling didn't know that Liu Zhi was planning for her future. She was currently wandering around Guanhaishe.

That's right, just walking around the room couldn't solve Jiang Ling's anxiety, so she walked out of the room and came to Guanhai Society, intending to accept the cruel blow of reality.

In addition to the two largest newspaper offices of Guanhai and Xinyue, Xihua Street is also home to most other newspaper offices in Yin County.

Apart from newspaper offices, Xihua Street has the largest number of bookstores, and every bookstore has posted banners saying "Crescent Moon" and "Guan Hai", "Qiuhao" and "Youlin" have added a lot of gunpowder, and at the same time, their reputation has been further enhanced.

It can be said that in Yin County, if you don't know "Nongjiazi Qingyun Road" and "East Chamber Love", you will have nothing to talk about.

Jiang Ling randomly picked a bookstore and walked in.As soon as she entered, she saw a scholar about 20 years old who first pointed to the Haichao magazine, and then pointed to the Shangxian magazine and asked the bookstore shopkeeper: "The young man is short of money. I can only choose between the two magazines. I hope the shopkeeper will recommend it." Ichiban.”

The shopkeeper of the bookstore was also a kind person. He asked in detail: "I wonder if sir, do you usually read Haichao or Shangxian? Are there any articles that you are currently reading? Or do you only read articles by a certain gentleman?"

The scholar shook his head and said, "Sometimes I read Haichao magazine, sometimes I read Xian magazine, and sometimes I don't read both. I don't have any particular preference, and I don't have any follow-up."

The shopkeeper of the bookstore twirled his beard and knew it in his mind: "Then I recommend you to buy the Haichao magazine. We have an agreement with Guanhaishe that one copy per person, and the Haichao magazine sells faster. If you come back in two days, sir, it will be very helpful." Maybe you won’t be able to buy Haichao Magazine. Moreover, Haichao Magazine’s latest masterpiece "Nongjiazi Qingyun Road" has been well received, and it is a groundbreaking work. Many wealthy families will ask people to buy another copy and cut it out to make a collection .”

"Create the world? Then I want to see what kind of novel can be called the world. Please get me a copy of the tide magazine." The scholar's curiosity was aroused, and he decided to listen to the shopkeeper's suggestion and buy a copy. Haichao Journal.

"Take it well." The shopkeeper sent the scholar away with a smile on his face.Another deal was made, October is really a good season!

Jiang Ling was naturally happy to see someone choose to buy Haichao Magazine, but when she heard adjectives such as "unparalleled", she couldn't help but blush, and she felt very anxious.

Jiang Ling walked around the bookstore for a couple of times, and felt that his face was no longer hot, so he asked the shopkeeper, "Treasurer, I just heard you said that the tide magazine is limited to one copy per person, so can it still be sold out?"

"Miss, you don't understand. No matter how elegant a newspaper is, it's still dealing with words. How can it lose money? If there are no restrictions, how can it delay time for additional editions? I asked my old friend across from me, the owner of his bookstore. The Hai Chao magazine was sold out early. Fortunately, I bought twice as many Hai Chao magazines early." Speaking of his decision, the shopkeeper couldn't help but feel proud.

Or he had the foresight to see the potential of Haichao Magazine early on.In October, no, at least until the serialization of Mr. Youlin's novel ends, he can make a lot of money.He had to buy more printed issues before others did. Mr. Youlin was famous, and there were many unbought ones that he would definitely come back to buy later.

After Mr. Youlin's novel is finished, he will still tell his host that he will fight for the distribution rights of "Nongjiazi Qingyun Road".This can also make a lot of money.Mr. You Lin, is really his God of Wealth!

"Besides, the supply is in short supply now. Miss, do you want to buy a Haichao magazine?" the shopkeeper asked. He felt that he was a kind person, and other bookstores that still had stock had raised their prices. Only he planned to raise prices after today.Seeing a little girl in Jiang Ling who is about the same age as her own granddaughter, I just feel pitiful, so let her save some money and give it to her.

"No, I'm a regular reader of Mr. Qiuhao, and I want to buy a new monthly magazine." Jiang Ling rejected the shopkeeper's sudden kindness, and chose to buy a rival newspaper.Speaking of which, she hasn't read Mr. Qiuhao's new article "Love in the East Chamber".

"Miss, please take it." The shopkeeper gave a meal, but it was not surprising, there were always many old readers who claimed to be Mr. Qiuhao's old readers to buy the new monthly magazine.

The new monthly magazine actually sells well, but it cannot be compared with the tide magazine.

From the shopkeeper's point of view, Mr. Qiuhao is really unlucky. In fact, the quality of "Love in the East Chamber" itself is not bad, and it has his own personal style. There are many regular readers and the sales volume is not bad.

But I am afraid of comparison in everything.Mr. Qiuhao happened to meet the talented Mr. Youlin.Mr. Youlin's "Nongjiazi Qingyun Road" established a sect, so how can "Love in the East Chamber" be compared to it?

If the Shangxian issue had been released on October [-]th as before, with a ten-day time difference, the sales volume of "Love in the East Chamber" would have been even better.

Now it's all right, the two families are facing each other, and the judgment is made, and Mr. Qiuhao is stepped on by the newcomer and becomes a stepping stone.What a huge loss!
The shopkeeper has some sympathy for Mr. Qiuhao, but not much, and money still needs to be earned.And as far as the article is concerned, he himself prefers "Nongjiazi Qingyun Road".

"Love in the East Chamber", you can watch it or not, where is the irreplaceability of "Nongjiazi Qingyun Road".

Looking at Jiang Ling's leaving figure, the shopkeeper felt that his rare kindness had been given to the wrong person. How could such a good lady have eyesight?Obviously, Haichao Magazine sells better, and Mr. Youlin writes better.

Guanhaishe.

Yang Bin laughed out loud, feeling very happy, after being the second child of Guanhaishe for so long, can he finally stand up and become the number one?

Zhou Zhou could hear Yang Bin's laughter from far away. He just felt that Yang Bin was noisy. He was the one who insisted on Youlin posting on the front page.People outside say that Yang Bin has a keen eye for recognizing people and is unyielding in promoting talents. If you want to be happy, he is the one who smiles the most.But forget it, let him laugh.He is the only one who can contact Youlin.

"Hmph!" Zhou Zhou snorted softly, and continued to carefully cut Jiang Ling's novel out of the newspaper.

"Bo Liao, how are you getting in touch with the printing matter?" Yang Bin finished laughing and started to deal with business.

Fang Yuan replied: "I have asked them to print a thousand more copies. I really didn't expect that Mr. Youlin could lead so many people to buy Haichao Magazine. It was really a mistake."

"Who said it wasn't? At the beginning, we were prepared for a decline in sales, and the prints were [-]% less than in September, but the supply exceeded the demand." Wang Ze also said with emotion.

"Bo Liao, [-] copies is not enough, go print [-] more copies. And it's still limited to one copy per person." Yang Bin's eyes flashed. The sales volume has been declining for a long time, and now he can finally do a big job.

"Two thousand copies? Editor-in-Chief, Mr. Youlin's novels are good, but there are quite a few people who buy newspapers in Yin County." Fang Yuan didn't understand. He was afraid that Yang Bin's confidence in Youlin might be sufficient, so he made a wrong judgment and quickly poured cold water.

"Pingbo Prefecture is a cultural capital. It doesn't matter if Yinxian County is saturated, as well as other counties around Yinxian County. Our colleagues are also struggling in a backwater. As friends in the industry, we need to help them get out of the predicament." Yang Bin said righteously.In fact, it is because Youlin has not fully tapped the potential of his novels and wants to export them to surrounding counties.

Jiang Ling and her novels are the best catfish.Don't swim back in the pond, the running water has been introduced, and the catfish are coming.

If other county newspapers knew about Yang Bin's idea of ​​friendly assistance, they might just want to say: Don't come here!

"Jichuan, you must have a good relationship with Mr. Youlin and change your bad temper. Will saying nice soft words make you suddenly ill? Don't expose your true nature after getting to know each other. Be polite. Also, please be gentle in urging the manuscript, at least until the second half of the month." Yang Bin made arrangements, and finally gave Zhou Zhou some instructions.If Mr. Youlin hadn't said it before, he would have wanted to visit in person.

"Yes." Hmph, I thought of him last.Zhou Zhou didn't take it seriously, did he have a bad temper?He felt that he and Jiang Ling got along well!
Crescent Society.

The editor-in-chief Zhai Lin had a gloomy face, and most of the other editors in the agency lowered their heads to review the manuscript, for fear that the editor-in-chief would notice them.

"Why are you all dumb? It's a shame that Xinyue Society was overtaken by Guanhai Society in our hands!" Editor-in-chief Zhai Lin rolled the tide magazine in his hand into a column shape, and then hit it twice heavily.

"We need a work like "Nongjiazi Qingyun Road"." Zhai Lin's eyes were full of paranoia.

Chai Rong said, "Yes, we will definitely pay more attention to newcomers."

"Hundred newcomers can't compare with Youlin, only Youlin can write the works we want." Zhai Lin saw that Chai Rong's understanding was biased, so he had to further hint.

At the same time, Zhai Lin ruthlessly notified: "Qiuhao asked him to finish the draft as soon as possible, and he will be replaced on the front page in the second half of the month. Liu Yuanzhang, please tell Qiuhao."

"Mr. Qiuhao's Chinese manuscript is already close to completion, and it's about three or four times before returning to the content. And Mr. Qiuhao's "East Chamber Love" has a good reputation. We just changed the front page after we signed the contract with Mr. Qiuhao, right? Not so good?" Liu Yuanzhang asked in a cold sweat against the pressure of editor-in-chief Zhai Lin.

"If you don't replace him, should you let him continue to fight against Youlin who is watching the sea? This will only make everyone remember that Qiuhao is a loser who was stepped on by Youlin. Play him down, treat him, and treat Xinyue Society It's all good. All right, let's go and inform." Zhai Lin said impatiently.

"Understood." Liu Yuanzhang knew that Qiu Hao would probably be hidden in the snow. As for how long it would take, it would depend on how long Youlin could stay popular.Or he can turn around if he can write a novel comparable to "The Farmer's Son Qingyun Road".

In the evening, Liu Yuanzhang came to Xu Shi's house and told Zhai Lin's notice.

"I think you should have heard clearly, then I will leave first." Liu Yuanzhang turned to leave, but was blocked.

I saw Xu Shi asked with a dull face: "Editor Liu, what do you mean by that?"

"Mr. is a smart person. Mister might as well spend more time polishing his works. One day he will be able to polish "Nongjiazi Qingyun Road." Liu Yuanzhang bypassed Xu Shizhi and left Xu's house.

Xu Shi was the only one left who kept repeating the word Youlin.
