All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Since the announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination, the college entrance examination review materials sold by Red Star Department Store have been in short supply. So far, the sales of this item alone have exceeded 10,000 yuan.

Since the price of mimeographed materials is relatively low, if the cost is calculated, it may not make much money. However, the paper used for mimeographing comes from Yue Wenxuan's space reserves, which means that Yue Wenxuan has exchanged part of the reserved paper for money, and this part of the income also belongs to him personally.

Excluding the workers' wages, the rest of the income, whether it was paper costs or profits, all went into Yue Wenxuan's pocket. This part of the income alone filled his pockets.

Yue Wenxuan had deposited all of his income in recent months into the space. Excluding the portion he had spent, a huge sum of more than 14,000 yuan had already been stored in the space.

With such a large sum of money, it is enough for Yue Wenxuan to spend on a daily basis. After all, in this era, there are not many places to spend money, and excess money is just a number and cannot be spent at all.

Since he has so much savings, he certainly won't be stingy about paying his employees more wages.

Although he wanted to share, he couldn't just raise everyone's salary. There had to be a reason.

After a brief consideration, Yue Wenxuan said to Chen Xiaoliang: "Your suggestion is very reasonable, let's do as you say.

Recently, everyone has been very motivated and has indeed been working very hard. If this five-yuan subsidy is cancelled, it will inevitably dampen everyone's enthusiasm.

College entrance examination review materials are still in short supply, and everyone will have to work overtime in the future. We must not dampen everyone's enthusiasm at this time.

I think it’s a good idea. Everyone has been working for half a year, and it’s time to give everyone a salary increase.

Then starting from this month, everyone's salary will be increased by 5 yuan. This way, everyone should have no objection. "

A salary increase is something that people always want. From an employee's perspective, Chen Xiaoliang is of course very happy, but from a friend's perspective, he has to give some advice.

“Everyone was happy to hear that the monthly salary would increase by five yuan.

It's just that the pressure on you is a little too great, you have to think carefully about it.

Business is good now, so of course there is no problem, and the salary can definitely be paid. But the college entrance examination review materials will not always be so popular, so you have to be mentally prepared for this."

"Don't worry, it's just the salary of a few of us, it's not a big burden for me.

If the college entrance examination review materials are not selling well in the future, we will consider other businesses. As long as we are willing to use our brains, there will always be a way. "

Seeing Yue Wenxuan's confidence, Chen Xiaoliang felt relieved and stopped persuading him.

After Yue Wenxuan announced the news to everyone, everyone was very happy. After all, the subsidy is only a temporary thing, and once the salary increases, it will not decrease again, and the meaning is absolutely different.

As the director of the department store, Yue Wenxuan does not participate in daily work. Everyone is busy with work, so naturally he cannot sit idle either.

It just so happened that he had a new idea during the college entrance examination and planned to write a new novel based on the college entrance examination.

He plans to write a long novel this time, and it will probably take him one or two months to finish the novel.

He spent three days revising the story outline and then immersed himself in writing the new novel.

He had just finished writing the 20,000-word introduction when Qu Zhize, whom he hadn't seen for a while, came to the department store again.

He did not come alone this time, he was accompanied by a middle-aged man in his forties.

As soon as they met, Qu Zhize introduced Yue Wenxuan: "Wenxuan, let me introduce you, this person next to me is Director Guo Peng of China National Radio."

"Hello, Director Guo, welcome to our department store." Yue Wenxuan shook hands with Guo Peng enthusiastically.

Guo Peng held Yue Wenxuan's right hand tightly with both hands. "I have carefully read all three of your novels, including the poems and essays you published in People's Literature. I personally like them very much."

Upon hearing this, Yue Wenxuan smiled modestly, "Director Guo, you are too kind. It is my great honor to receive your recognition. My work still has many shortcomings, and I need to ask professionals like you for advice."

Qu Zhize smiled and said, "Wenxuan, don't be so modest. Director Guo came to see you this time. He is very interested in your work and wants to discuss cooperation with you."

Upon hearing this, Yue Wenxuan's eyes flashed with surprise, "Oh? Cooperation? I wonder what Director Guo has to say?"

Guo Peng let go of Yue Wenxuan's hand with a gentle smile on his face, "Writer Yue, our radio station is currently preparing a new broadcast program and plans to invite some talented writers to broadcast and interpret their works.

The three novels written by Yue caused a sensation in the whole society once they were published and were well received by the public. I think your works are very suitable for our program, so I hope to get your authorization and let our China National Radio produce and broadcast your works. "

Of course Yue Wenxuan would not refuse such a good thing when it came to him.

Although the circulation of People's Literature is very large and it can be regarded as the top literary magazine of this era, it is far behind China National Radio in terms of influence.

The literacy rate in the 1970s was not very high, and only a few people could afford to buy the magazine "People's Literature". After all, the influence of "People's Literature" was mainly aimed at the majority of literature lovers.

There were very few televisions in this era, and people across the country mainly learned about national affairs and various aspects of society through the radio.

Among all radio stations, China National Radio is undoubtedly the most influential. If Yue Wenxuan's works could be broadcast on China National Radio, it can be said that they would become popular all over the country overnight.

Yue Wenxuan was secretly delighted, but he remained calm and composed, and said modestly:
"I am really flattered by Director Guo's proposal. It is my dream that my works can be delivered to more listeners through such an authoritative platform as China National Radio. However, I wonder how you plan to operate this cooperation? Do you need my cooperation?"

Hearing this, Guo Peng smiled even more warmly. He stroked his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said slowly:

"Writer Yue, don't worry, our cooperation model is very simple.

We will invite professional broadcasters to carefully record your work. At the same time, we will also design some interactive sessions based on the content of your work, such as reader letter discussions, author interviews, etc., to increase the interactivity and fun of the program.

And you may need to take some time to participate in our interview recording. "

Yue Wenxuan nodded, not rejecting such cooperation. This kind of cooperation not only increases the popularity of the work, but also gives Yue Wenxuan the opportunity to communicate directly with the audience, which is undoubtedly a great honor for a writer and also the best publicity.

For a writer, the work is of course the foundation and core, but publicity is equally important.

Yue Wenxuan said: "Director Guo, this way of cooperation is very novel, I will try my best to cooperate.

As for time, I am currently working on a new novel, but I will try to adjust my writing schedule to ensure that it can be coordinated with your program schedule. "

When Qu Zhize heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, "Wenxuan, you are writing a new novel again. What is the subject? When will it be finished?"

"I just finished taking the college entrance examination, and during the process I had some ideas, so I conceived a novel about the college entrance examination.

This time I plan to write a long novel, which may be around 150,000 words, and it is expected to take about two months to complete.

Because it is a long novel, I may not be able to publish it in People's Literature, which I regret very much."

"People's Literature" generally only publishes medium-length and short stories, so Yue Wenxuan said that.

"You've made great progress and are about to enter the realm of novels." Qu Zhize's tone was full of emotion, "This is a good thing and a huge improvement. I believe you can write this novel well.

Although our magazine People's Literature mainly publishes medium-length and short stories, it does not necessarily prohibit the publication of novels.

After you finish writing this novel, please show it to me first. If it is outstanding, I will ask Editor-in-Chief Zhang for permission and it may be published.

Anyway, this isn’t the first time that People’s Literature has made an exception for you, so it wouldn’t be surprising if we made another exception.”

Hearing that Yue Wenxuan was going to write a novel, Guo Peng was also very interested and said:
“I am also looking forward to this work by Yue. If the manuscript can be completed in two months, as long as there is no problem with the subject matter, it will be just in time for this recording.

Maybe it can be published together with People’s Literature, which will have a greater impact.”

Qu Zhize thought of this possibility and said excitedly: "Wenxuan, not everyone can access the platform of China National Radio.

It would be amazing if your new work could be published simultaneously on China National Radio and our People's Literature.

If you can really do this, your new work will be popular all over the country."

Yue Wenxuan smiled and said, "This is all thanks to your recommendation, Brother Qu, and Director Guo's recognition. Otherwise, I would be a fledgling young writer, and my works would have no chance to be broadcast to the people of the country."

Guo Peng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Writer Yue is too modest. Gold will always shine. The quality of your work is excellent, which is the most important thing. We at China National Radio are just doing something that goes with the flow."

The three of them smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful. Yue Wenxuan secretly sighed in his heart that in this era, it was rare to have such an opportunity to cooperate.

Afterwards, Guo Peng and Yue Wenxuan discussed the details of the cooperation in detail, including the broadcast time of the program, interview interactions, and specific matters that Yue Wenxuan needed to cooperate with.

Yue Wenxuan took careful notes one by one and promised to do his best to ensure the smooth progress of the cooperation.

During the detailed discussion, Guo Peng also mentioned the issue of the broadcasting license fee. China National Radio would not take Yue Wenxuan's royalties for free, but the price was not high. The broadcasting license fee for a short story was 10 yuan, and for a novella it was 20 yuan.

Yue Wenxuan had no objection to this. After all, this was the current rule, and he didn't care much about money. He valued the publicity effect of China National Radio, a dominant publicity platform, more. It was a great honor and success for his work to be broadcast on China National Radio.

After the matter was settled, Guo Peng and Qu Zhize drank a cup of tea in Yue Wenxuan's office and then said goodbye and left.

The recording of the novel broadcast was very quick. Besides, Yue Wenxuan did not have many works. Apart from essays and poems, there were only two short stories and one novella. It only took one week to complete the recording.

After the review was passed, it was broadcast soon. During the broadcast, the radio station invited Yue Wenxuan to the live broadcast room twice and conducted a brief interview with him.

Yue Wenxuan's three novels are all closely linked to the pulse of the times. Once they were broadcast, they quickly caused a sensation among the general public.

Although these three novels sparked heated discussions after being published in People's Literature, they only had a huge impact among literature lovers and the literary and art circles.

Now that it has been broadcast on China National Radio, it has truly spread across the country, become known to people all over the country, and has sparked heated discussions among people all over the country.

It was also from this moment that the name of the writer Wenxuan began to be known to people all over the country and was loved by people all over the country.

After Yue Renxuan's works were broadcast, the people who were the happiest and proudest were, of course, Yue Wenxuan's relatives and friends.

As Yue Wenxuan's girlfriend, Wen Xiaoqing was proud of him from the bottom of her heart. She suggested that such an important event must be celebrated properly. Finally, after everyone voted, they unanimously decided to make dumplings to celebrate.

Yue Wenxuan hadn't eaten dumplings for a while, and he also supported this decision. The store's cafeteria had flour and cabbage, so Yue Wenxuan went out for a walk and brought back five pounds of mutton, suggesting making dumplings with mutton and cabbage.

After get off work in the afternoon, everyone worked together enthusiastically and ate steaming mutton and cabbage dumplings before dark.

In this day and age, being able to eat meat-filled dumplings feels as joyful as Chinese New Year. Everyone looks forward to it and cherishes it.

They were all young girls and boys, and each of them had a big appetite. The dumplings stuffed with mutton were so delicious that they couldn't stop eating once they picked up their chopsticks.

Normally, for a dozen people to eat dumplings, it would be a luxury to put a pound of meat in the stuffing. But this time Yue Wenxuan brought five pounds of meat, plus Cai Youliang's skill in mixing the stuffing, today's dumplings tasted so delicious.

Not to mention Chen Xiaoliang and others who were not full, even Yue Wenxuan, who had no shortage of food, had to eat more than thirty dumplings today before he felt full.

There were enough dumplings made today. Mou Keyong, a big-bellied man, ate more than fifty dumplings by himself. He put down his chopsticks contentedly only after he had finished all the dumplings.
