Chapter 30 30 Outstanding Educators

Qin He has high expectations for the book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and believes that it will be an instant hit.

At the end of October, Qin He sent part of the sample manuscript to Lao Cui, fully expecting Lao Cui's comments.

But he never expected that Qin He would have a phone call with Lao Cui in mid-November and ask Lao Cui how his new book was.

Old Cui said in a perfunctory way that he was not satisfied with the book, but he would still recommend him to a bookseller. After showing the sample manuscript to the bookseller, he would reply to Qin He, and finally asked Qin He to write a love and revenge novel in the style of bosom friend.

Qin He was stunned on the spot. After putting down the phone, Qin He couldn't figure it out. Is this world so different from his own?
But it's been almost a year since he was reborn. Qin He's understanding of this world seems to be not much different from the era he remembers. What's going on?

Qin He was a little bit autistic after being hit by Old Cui. Looking at the manuscript in his hand, Qin He calmed down and spent two days carefully reading it again, and finally strengthened his belief that this book will definitely become popular.

In fact, what Qin He didn't know was that Lao Cui didn't even read the sample drafts he sent to Lao Cui. He threw them in the drawer until now. The reason why he didn't throw them in the trash can may be because he forgot.

Since the Three-Body novel series, Lao Cui no longer believes in Qin He's novels. He has no interest in reading them at all. He even didn't even bother to peruse them this time, and the bookseller didn't introduce them.

Mainly for the previous novel, he recommended a few booksellers, but none of them liked it. Perhaps most of the booksellers recommended by Lao Cui were novels similar to those he cooperated with. Sci-fi books, it's a waste of time.

And when Qin He recommended the book about things in the Ming Dynasty to him later, when Lao Cui heard it, it turned out to be a book about history, isn't that nonsense?
If you, a writer who writes Zhiyin style, write a history book, is this not nonsense? Why is it?
So, in the end, Lao Cui didn't even bother to look through the sample draft that Qin He sent over. When Qin He asked, Lao Cui just found a reason and sent it away.

Seeing that it was another Spring Festival, Qin He felt that time was running out, and he had less than two years left. Right now, Lin Yiqing's dream of being a great writer was still far away.

There is still no news from Lao Cui, and Qin He is a little impatient. He firmly believes that this book will become popular, but right now, how can he make it popular?
Qin He first thought of publishing at his own expense, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to give up. In the past half a year, although he has more than 1 manuscript fees per month, he has not actually saved any money.

In the early stage, the supermarket invested 1 yuan to buy back the copyright. Right now, Qin He doesn’t even have 1 yuan. The supermarket business is not bad, and there are more than [-] yuan in profit every month, but it’s not time for dividends.

Moreover, Hu Xingwang has recently taken a fancy to a location in the county town, and wants to open a supermarket in the county town. Of course, Qin He supports it, and he is saving money right now.

Even if self-published, it is not so easy to promote.

Just when Qin He was in a daze, Principal Yuan found him again. This time, besides looking for Qin He to moisten his pens, Principal Yuan also came to invite Qin He to a banquet.

Comrade Yuan Zhiguo, an excellent educator and a well-known writer in our county, was promoted to the post of deputy director of the County Education Bureau. The promotion banquet will be held at noon on November [-]th.

But today is October [-]th, and the promotion banquet happened yesterday. Principal Yuan is hosting Qin He alone this time.

What Qin He didn't know was how much sensation the articles he wrote for Principal Yuan had caused.

Especially the first article, "Mom, hug me one more time", was reprinted by the city daily, then by several provincial newspapers, and finally by the central daily, which caused a sensation in the education circle of this small county. an earthquake.

Honors followed soon, and Principal Yuan was soon promoted to deputy director of the County Education Bureau. Principal Yuan hosted a banquet for Qin He alone this time.

In addition to hoping that Qin He would trade him a few articles, he also vaguely proposed that Qin He could help him keep the matter of polishing his pen a secret. In the end, Principal Yuan handed him a very thick red envelope at the dinner table.

Qin He touched the red envelope, guessing the thickness, at least eight thousand, is this considered a hush money?
Qin He happily accepted with a smile, and also promised to provide him with five articles that could be published in readers' magazines.

This time, Principal Yuan happily accepted, no, it should be Director Yuan.

Sure enough, the bottom line is used to break through.

However, Qin He didn't care about these things, and his time was running out.

However, Director Yuan's incident also gave him inspiration. Since Lao Cui doesn't like his own book, there must be other people who can like it!

For example, Xiao Han, editor of Reader Magazine.

Qin He called the other party overnight.

Although Qin He hasn't sent articles to readers' magazines for a long time, Xiao Han still hasn't forgotten Qin He, and even has a deep impression of Qin He.

In addition to Qin He's previous articles that left a deep impression on him, the most important thing was Qin He's pen name Li Yuncong.

In fact, the magazine circle is not big. There are only a few magazines with the highest sales volume in China. Although their styles are different, they are all members of the circle. It is normal to read each other's magazines occasionally.

In the special editing industry, when I see a very good article, I subconsciously look to see who the author is.

And a few months ago, when Xiao Han was flipping through Zhiyin magazine at home, he suddenly found a familiar author, Li Yuncong.

At that time, Xiao Han still thought it might be the same name, but in the second month, Xiao Han inadvertently saw a familiar name in the story club magazine, and that name was still Li Yuncong.

Xiao Han lost his composure for a moment. After inquiring, he finally confirmed that Li Yuncong was the author he knew.

Although Xiao Han has not been an editor for a long time, he has been an editor for several years. He has never seen an article with an author who can control so many styles. The reader's style and story will be combined with the style of bosom friend. These three completely different styles, Li Yuncong unexpectedly Controlled without any sense of incongruity.

Since there was no contact number for Qin He, Xiao Han also sent a letter to Qin He, hoping to cooperate again. However, Qin He was running to the supermarket at that time and did not have time. In addition, the manuscript fees for readers magazines were not high, so he No reply.

Just like that, the two broke off contact, but Xiao Han didn't expect that Qin He would take the initiative to contact him after a few months.

When he learned that Qin He wanted to publish a novel and wanted to introduce himself to the publishing house, Xiao Han was very pleasantly surprised, but he thought, no, Qin He has cooperated with Zhiyin Magazine for so long, logically, it shouldn’t be cheap first Is it a publishing house under Zhiyin Magazine?How can I contact myself.

Qin He could only say awkwardly that the style of his book was not suitable for his bosom friend, so he contacted Xiao Han.

Xiao Han thought about it and thought it was possible, so he agreed and waited for Qin He to send the sample manuscript.

After Xiao Han agreed, Qin He sent the sample manuscript with great expectation.
