"Oh! Comrade Zhipeng, I'm a little confused..." Wen Tiejun rubbed his hands and said a little excitedly.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and nodded: "Tell me what you don't understand."

Wen Tiejun asked: "How do you know me? I have almost no reputation in the country, I am just a small researcher."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "I often browse various papers and journals. When I see articles that inspire me, I will study them carefully."

"I have read several of your papers on agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and I fully approve of your views and strategies..."

Zhang Zhipeng mentioned several papers by Wen Tiejun.

Wen Tiejun felt a little incredible.

He could not have imagined that Zhang Zhipeng was so busy and often had several national-level scientific research projects on hand, that he would still have time to read economics papers?

"Ashamed, ashamed! I didn't expect that my humble work would catch your eyes."

"Comrade Zhipeng, if you want me to serve as the World Economics Monthly, I'm afraid you will have to ask for a transfer order from my current unit."

Zhang Zhipeng waved his hand and said with a smile: "As long as you agree, changing the order is just a small matter."

"In addition, you can write the paper you just mentioned about agriculture, rural areas and farmers that you are planning to write, and I will submit it to the editorial office of World Economics Monthly for you."

Wen Tiejun was very moved. Is this the gift of knowing someone?
Wen Tiejun talked to Zhang Zhipeng again, and their conversation was very harmonious.

Because the viewpoints are relatively close.

An hour later, Zhang Zhipeng had someone send Wen Tiejun back.

At the same time, Zhang Zhipeng called Hou Deliang, the head of the agricultural department, and explained Tiewen Tiejun's appointment as deputy editor-in-chief of World Economics Monthly.

Hou Deliang naturally agreed.

When Wen Tiejun returned to his office, he was still very excited.

He made himself a cup of tea, and then continued to organize the information and form an outline.

He planned to write the paper on agriculture, rural areas and farmers that he was preparing as soon as possible and then hand it to Zhang Zhipeng.

While he was busy, his immediate boss Hou Deliang personally knocked on the door and came to visit.

Hou Deliang is the oldest person in charge of agriculture.

His work is still quite busy.

The agricultural administration department is also a very large department with tens of thousands of employees.

Hou Deliang must not have fully recognized it.

However, Hou Deliang still had some impression of Wen Tiejun.

Because Wen Tiejun’s professional skills are very solid and his theoretical level is also very high, some of the articles he published are quite eye-catching.

"Comrade Tie Jun, congratulations! I didn't expect you to have found the way to Comrade Zhipeng."

Hou Deliang said with a smile as soon as he saw Wen Tiejun.

Wen Tiejun knew immediately why the other party came.

He smiled and said: "Comrade Deliang, I am confused now. Suddenly, Comrade Zhipeng appreciated me and asked me to be transferred to be the deputy editor-in-chief of World Economics Monthly."

Hou Deliang smiled and said: "The main reason is that your level is indeed very high."

"You are a very good economist."

"Comrade Tie Jun, thank you for your contribution to our agricultural department!"

"To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to let you leave."

"However, since you have better development prospects, I definitely can't stop you. I will have someone handle your transfer order right away."

"Although you are leaving our place, our Nongkou will always be your natal family from now on! If anything happens, just say hello and we will help you take care of it!"

Hou Deliang said it very grandly.

He also wants to show his kindness to Mr. Wen Tie.

Wen Tiejun smiled and thanked: "I also want to thank Comrade Deliang for always taking care of me. Even after I went to the editorial office of World Economics Monthly, the work on agriculture, rural areas and farmers is still an issue that I focus on."

……

Wu Jingzhen soon knew that a deputy editor would be transferred.

He suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

Wu Jingzhen is a famous economist in China.

He was a well-respected authority on economics.

But now, he found that because Zhang Zhipeng was dissatisfied with himself, the economic authority he had established over the years might collapse.

Wu Jingzhen did not dare to neglect, and he began to quickly follow Zhang Zhipeng's request and reject manuscripts from economists who did not meet the manuscript requirements of "World Economics Monthly".

Noam Joe's mansion, New York.

He looked at the returned manuscript in his hand and felt a little angry.

"Fake!"

He clenched his fists and cursed.

Then, he slammed the returned manuscript to the ground.

Noamjo felt humiliated.

With his supreme status in the world of economics, any article he writes for any academic journal is a gift to the other party.

He originally thought that if he took the initiative to submit an article to this Chinese publication, the other party would publish it no matter what.

He even dreams of winning the Zhipeng Prize in Economics.

Not only does he want to earn huge bonuses from the other party, but he also wants to influence China's economic policies.

What a wonderful thing.

But the reality was so cruel that his manuscript was rejected.

This is a slap in his face!
This was intolerable to him!
Noam Qiao vented for a while, and the anger in his chest finally calmed down a little.

He calmed down a bit, but he was unwilling to give in. He felt that he still had to find a way to find a place.

Noamjo decided: to launch a public attack on "World Economics Monthly"!
We must destroy the reputation of this Chinese magazine in the world of economics and make all economists stop cooperating with each other.

He is going to call reporters from several important media. He is going to hold a press conference and concoct some serious crimes in "World Economics Monthly"...

At this time, his female secretary Catherine discovered something while helping him pack up the rejected manuscripts that he had thrown to the ground.

This rejection letter is actually mixed with a manuscript invitation letter.

The general idea of ​​the invitation letter is as follows:
"World Economics Monthly" hopes that Noamqiao will write an in-depth analysis of how the Aramco conglomerate controls the entire Aramco. If you write deeply enough, you will not only get it published, but you will also get a manuscript fee of at least 1 US dollars. There is also a chance to win the Zhipeng Economics Award.

Catherine hurriedly showed the letter to Noamjo.

Noamqiao spat after reading it, shook his head, and said, "How could I write such an article?"

"They are clearly trying to take advantage of me."

Catherine smiled and said: "But, Mr. Noamjo, I think you can do whatever you want and just add some private information to the article."

"I think if you can win the Zhipeng Economics Award, you can not only make a lot of money, but you can also fight back against them after receiving the award."

"This can hit them harder."

After hearing this, Nomqiao thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That makes sense!"

"Then just play with them again."

……

In fact, Noamjo was not the only one who encountered rejection from the World Economics Monthly this time.

Instead, a large number of Western economists had their papers rejected.

However, this Chinese magazine did not completely close the door to cooperation with them.

Instead, they were given specific requirements for the manuscript. As long as the paper is written in depth, has a warning meaning, or is indeed very useful to the development of the real economy, it may be published.

This is exactly what Zhang Zhipeng asked for.

He wanted to change the minds of these economists.

Of course, he also knew that it was impossible to change these people's minds with a small amount of money.

However, disrupting their thinking is considered a great achievement, right?
……

Wen Tiejun quickly completed the transfer procedures.

He came to "World Economics Monthly" as deputy editor.

After coming here, he quickly learned all the conditions here.

He found that this magazine was really sought after by economists all over the world.

The magazine receives submissions from all over the world.

Economists from lizard countries are also following suit.

Among them are many of Lizufang’s top economists.

Of course, "World Economics Monthly" has clear standards for manuscripts.

If it does not meet the standards, even the most famous economist's manuscript will be rejected.

This made Wen Tiejun very emotional.

After all, for many years in the past, economists from the Lizard side were the teachers of economists from the great Eastern countries.

Almost all domestic economists today are Western-only.

Under such a background, it is rare to be able to adhere to such a unique principle of running a magazine.

To Wen Tiejun, Wu Jingzhen was his senior.

Wu Jingzhen's popularity is much higher than that of Wen Tiejun.

Wen Tiejun also knew that Zhang Zhipeng transferred himself here, probably as a spare tire for Wu Jingzhen.

In other words, Zhang Zhipeng may be dissatisfied with Wu Jingzhen.

In this case, Wen Tiejun's position as deputy editor is a bit embarrassing.

Moreover, there is a possibility that Wu Jingzhen will specifically exclude and target him.

However, after coming here, Wen Tiejun found that Wu Jingzhen was quite polite to him.

Not only were they polite, but they were also caring.

The paper written by Wen Tiejun on the issues of rural areas and rural areas was completed and handed over to Zhang Zhipeng for review after he completed it according to Zhang Zhipeng's request.

After reading it, Zhang Zhipeng said that it was very well written and had great guiding significance for rural work.

Therefore, he would like to suggest publishing it in the "Monthly Journal of World Economics".

After the manuscript was handed over to Wu Jingzhen, Wu Jingzhen immediately made arrangements to publish it in the first issue of the magazine. This monthly magazine of World Economics is divided into Chinese and English versions.

The Chinese version is published domestically, and the English version is distributed worldwide.

The purpose is to expand the influence of the magazine.

Even if we don’t do this, English is still the most widely used language in the world.

If you publish globally, you have to use English.

When China becomes the most powerful country in the world and Chinese becomes the most popular language, will the English version be completely abandoned.

……

After Zhang Zhipeng settled the issue of World Economics Monthly, he turned his attention to World Literature Review Monthly.

Literature can be said to be the hardest hit area by public opinion.

A large number of domestic writers have problems of one kind or another.

It’s the late 90s, and writers are still playing with roots, scars, and magical realism.

In order to win foreign literary awards, they unconsciously created according to each other's hints.

"World Literature Review Monthly" is run by the Chinese Writers Association.

The editor-in-chief is Xu Fan, a very famous literary critic in China.

It stands to reason that literary criticism can sometimes offend people.

If you want to thoroughly comment on a work, you must not just praise it, but also analyze its shortcomings and deficiencies as well as the various existing problems.

Literary critics are actually people who criticize writers.

What is puzzling is that Xu Fan, a famous literary critic, is surprisingly popular.

He has friendships with almost all domestic writers, and writers speak highly of him when they mention him.

This surprised Zhang Zhipeng a little.

A critic can create a good reputation among writers, which is a problem in itself.

All I can say is that this man may be a good old man.

A good old guy may not be a good fit to be the editor-in-chief of World Literature Review Monthly.

With such doubts, Zhang Zhipeng came to the editorial office of World Literature Review Monthly for inspection.

As the big boss behind this cutting-edge magazine, Zhang Zhipeng naturally received a warm reception from the editor-in-chief Xu Fan.

Zhang Zhipeng talked with Xu Fan to understand the basic situation of this journal.

At present, the manuscript for the first issue of "World Literature Review Monthly" has not yet been determined, and it has not been published online yet.

Therefore, Zhang Zhipeng still doesn’t know much about the magazine’s manuscript reception.

"Comrade Zhipeng, since the establishment of our magazine, we have received reviews from all over the world recommending writers and works."

"We have implemented the principles for running the journal that you have stipulated, and are currently busy selecting manuscripts..."

Xu Fan introduced the current situation of "World Literature Review Monthly" to Zhang Zhipeng.

According to Xu Fan, the magazine has received more than 3,000 manuscripts from abroad and more than 4,000 manuscripts from China.

Among them, unknown works account for a relatively large proportion, exceeding 90%.

There are even writers who directly send in self-published novels to recommend themselves.

The situation is really not that complicated.

The current situation is: there are too many works that are characterized by excessive criticism of ugliness, excessive pursuit of novelty, and excessive absurdity. It is difficult to find truly good, realist, readable and profound works.

Zhang Zhipeng nodded while listening. Xu Fan, no matter what, was still very capable.

Listening to his introduction, you can tell that he has done a solid job.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Teacher Xu is still very solid in his work."

“So, what are some of the great reviews you’ve picked out right now?”

"You can bring it over and let me see it."

Xu Fan stood up after hearing this and said: "We have actually selected a batch of thirty-one articles. Our editorial department unanimously believes that they are more in line with the manuscript regulations. I will bring them to you for your review."

Xu Fan went to get a thick stack of manuscripts and placed them in front of Zhang Zhipeng.

Zhang Zhipeng began to look through these manuscripts.

He flipped through the pages very quickly because he knew the main content on a page almost at a glance.

After reading it, Zhang Zhipeng fell into thinking.

One question that Zhang Zhipeng is thinking about now is: There seems to be no left-wing among the writers in the Lizufang country in this era. Their works have also shown the characteristics of entertaining to death, and the critical ones have almost disappeared.

Um! On the contrary, there are occasionally one or two special commentators on current affairs or experts from think tanks, and occasionally they can show a hint of critical and reflective spirit.

However, there are very few writers who are as sharp and critical of reality as Mark Twain.

As far as the manuscripts selected by Xu Fan and others are concerned, there is not a single famous and influential Lizard writer.

This is really a problem.

It can be seen that the literary circles in Western countries actually withered much earlier than the literary circles in China.

Seeing Zhang Zhipeng lost in thought, Xu Fan felt a little uneasy.

He thought that Zhang Zhipeng was still not satisfied with the 31 manuscripts that he and all the editors had meticulously read through all the submissions.

"Comrade Zhipeng, if you think we have done something wrong, please correct me." Xu Fan said.

Zhang Zhipeng couldn't help but laugh. He didn't speak and remained silent, which put a lot of mental pressure on Xu Fan.

He then said with a smile: "You have done a good job, but it is a pity that the literary talents in various countries around the world are rapidly withering. There are not many truly outstanding writers who can write in depth and look good."

"We now need to cultivate literary works that can criticize Lizagata in depth. Unfortunately, it seems that such works cannot be found in European and American countries."

Xu Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's mainly because of market orientation. Readers don't like to read such works anymore, so naturally, no one writes them."

Zhang Zhipeng shook his head and said: "The reading market in Lizufang definitely still needs such works, but the capitalists who control the publishing platform will definitely not publish such works. Because that would be like digging their own grave."

Xu Fan said: "It seems that Hollywood movies can also criticize some of the dark sides of their own country."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "That's just to show their so-called greatness and integrity."

"Hollywood is just a publicity machine. While making money, he also forcibly turns A-Mei into a tower of Hades."

"I have been thinking that we should also train more writers for them who can criticize and expose their ugliness."

"So, we must take the initiative to find their internal opposition and train them to become writers."

Xu Fan hesitated and said, "I'm afraid this job won't be completed in a short time. It will take at least a few years."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "We have to be patient. As long as we can do the work bit by bit, we will definitely be able to make things develop in the direction we want."

"Well! In the future, we will also invite more writers from Lizufang to visit us for study and inspection, and at the same time let them deeply understand the specific principles of our award. If they have difficulty publishing a book, we can also help publish it. These are all no problem."

"Comrade Xu Fan, do you think you can do this job?"

Xu Fan quickly stood up and said, "We can definitely do the work as you ask."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "After talking to me, are you a little trembling and frightened, and don't know how to do your work?"

Xu Fan shook his head and said, "That's not true."

"However, I would like to ask you for your guidance, how much attention should our magazine give to the domestic literary world?"

"After all, we can't lose our domestic positions, right?"

Zhang Zhipeng nodded appreciatively and said, "You are right!"

"This is a very good question!"

"The domestic cultural front is naturally quite important."

“Let’s devote one-third of our magazine’s section to the creation of domestic literary circles.”

"We must guide positive creations that are beneficial to society and the country, and we must have national self-confidence and not belittle ourselves. What we need is such literary works!"

"Yeah! Apart from this principle, there is no problem with how you behave."

Xu Fan quickly wrote down what Zhang Zhipeng said.

"I wonder if Comrade Zhipeng has any other requests?" Xu Fan asked with a smile.

Zhang Zhipeng said: "No more."

"Comrade Xu Fan, I wonder what you think of these requests of mine?"

"Do you feel that I have set many restrictions on creation, making it less free?"

Xu Fan quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no!"

"Actually, where is complete freedom in this world?"

"Many times, the so-called freedom of creation turns into the freedom to spread rumors and cause trouble! It turns into the freedom to pursue depravity and sensory stimulation!"

"This world needs rules!"

Zhang Zhipeng nodded appreciatively, Xu Fan is an understanding person!
However, maybe he is deliberately catering to me?
There is such a possibility.

For people who are well-connected, the Eight-Sided Skill is basically a compulsory course.

But as long as Xu Fan can do things, Zhang Zhipeng will not ask too much of him.

"Many of our writers do not have the freedom to create one by one. In fact, I think we give them too much creative freedom."

"Some writers, under the guise of literary creation, use obscenities and robberies in their works, almost treating their works as pornographic reading materials. They also call it literature and art."

"It makes me sick to see people like this."

"This kind of writer is better. There are other writers who have their butts tilted across the Pacific Ocean. They are picky about their own country. They can't understand anything about it. They still say that literature is the art of criticism! In the blink of an eye, they are kneeling on the ground. Singing praises to other universities on the ground is just plain mean!”

"This kind of writer should be severely criticized!"

"Yeah! I think we should capture some typical examples and write a series of critical articles and publish them in World Literature Review Monthly to lead the trend of creation."

Xu Fan quickly wrote down what Zhang Zhipeng said again.

Zhang Zhipeng stayed in the capital until late August. He severely reorganized the six major domestic journals that had just been established so that they could truly operate according to his own wishes.

If you spend 100 billion to do this, you must make it a success! You can't let others mess with you and spoil big things.

After finishing his business in the capital, Zhang Zhipeng immediately rushed to the Magic City.

At this time, the hull of the first 10,000-ton ship was basically completed.

Zhang Zhipeng wants to help complete the final finishing work.

Then, his most important job is to install and debug the electromagnetic railgun.

This is the first time that an electromagnetic railgun has been put on a ship, so it must be foolproof.
