Return to 1983 and be a detective

Jingning District, Shanghai, is considered the most developed district in Shanghai.

If in future generations there is a place as big as a toilet here, you can go out and say that you are worth tens of millions, and there is no bragging at all.But the house prices at the moment are still quite cheap.

Xu Shan and Cao Ling looked at houses here. According to Cao Ling, in the early days of the publication, houses could be rented as long as they were available. There was no need to spend so much money to buy a house.

But Xu Shan didn't agree with anything. Isn't Cao Ling's idea simply a delay in making money?

For example, in later generations, before housing prices skyrocketed, many people bought houses, some bought cars, and some were undecided, not knowing whether to buy a house or a car. If they followed other people's advice, they would buy If he has a car, then when housing prices soar, will this person curse the person who persuaded him to buy a car every day when he eats?

He probably wouldn't be able to understand the hatred in his heart until he scolded the person who persuaded him to buy a car to death.

So taking advantage of the present, Xu Shan decided to buy a building in this area where housing prices would be the ceiling for future generations.

That's right, he didn't buy a house, but a building. After searching around, he really found a small third-floor building for him. Although the place was not too big and it was a long time ago, but here If there is such a house in this kind of place, Xushan will never miss it.

I asked about the price, and it was about 200 yuan per square meter. For such a big place, it cost more than 1000 square meters, so it was only about 20 yuan. It was suitable, it was really suitable.

Xu Shan made the decision to buy it without saying a word, but Cao Ling kept scolding Xu Shan secretly. He was a big wretch. You can buy a house with more than 20 yuan. Are you out of your mind?

However, he was the boss and he provided all the money. Naturally, she couldn't say anything. She resisted the urge to complain and accompanied Xu Shan to complete the formalities. Then she moved in all the magazine items she had just applied for. In this small third floor.

After entering the house, Xu Shan nodded with satisfaction, and then said with some regret: "It seems that this house is a bit empty. Otherwise, let's recruit a few more people."

Cao Lingxin said that the first issue doesn’t seem to require so many people. Besides, we are just starting out and we have spread our stall so big from the beginning. What if we fail?The losses would be huge.

She advised carefully: "I think it's better to save as much as you can. It's easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but it's difficult to go from luxury to simplicity."

Xu Shan shook his head: "How about we set up a cafe or teahouse downstairs? For writing, the environment should be good. Don't let everyone work crowded in the partitions of the office. Where will the inspiration come from?"

In fact, in later generations, before the decline of magazines, the treatment in those good magazines was really good. Not only did they have a reading room, but also a rest room. You can grab snacks at will. If you have no inspiration for writing, you can go to the activity room to play. Play billiards, or go to the karaoke room to sing.

These were revealed in a recruitment advertisement in a magazine that Xu Shan subscribed to. If Xu Shan hadn't thought that he was incompetent and deeply afraid of society, he would have gone there to apply for the job.

"Ah? Aren't we running a magazine? Why are we still doing those Huatoujing?"

"Who stipulates that to run a magazine, you have to work hard? Rushing for manuscripts is hard enough, why not give it some sweetness?"

Cao Ling was stunned by Xu Shan's words.

In her philosophy, if she starts enjoying herself without even creating a career, then why do she have a career?

But Xu Shan doesn't think so. Anyway, he has plenty of money now and has become one of the richest people in this era. If he wants to do something, he must make it an industry benchmark.

In fact, there is another consideration in his plan, that is, in the next few years, various magazines will emerge, the subscription market will be extremely hot, and there will also be many imitation and fake magazines. After all, among them The benefits are huge and anyone will be tempted.

So he plans to create a top-level publication, not seeking the best, but seeking the most expensive. In this way, even if others can imitate their content, they cannot imitate their quality, and those elite authors will also imitate their magazines. They came to submit their manuscripts one after another for their manuscript fees and remuneration.

At that time, it will directly affect the ecology of the entire industry.At present, this industry is a sunrise industry and can flourish for at least another 20 years.

Xu Shan didn't plan to tell Cao Ling too much about these ideas, he just needed to pay.

The three-story building was quickly renovated. In fact, it was said to be decoration, but it was not a big fanfare, and there was no renovation. At most, it was just a scratch. After all, this kind of old building will have to be listed in the near future. into immovable cultural relics.

And it itself is a very attractive place. The small building with a garden was built by the foreign owner of the old foreign company. It probably cost a lot of money at the beginning, and Xu Shan did not intend to add any unnecessary extravagance.If you try to reform it and destroy its original appearance, you will become a sinner of history.

The functions of this three-story building are also divided. The first floor has indeed been converted into a coffee shop. After all, people in Shanghai still live in a very Western style. The second floor is divided into two parts, one part is for reading. There are many bookshelves in the room, which contain many forensic sciences, legal professions, and some detective novels. Another section is a place dedicated to listening to music. There are old tape recorders collected from all over the place, and some Old things make people feel that time has traveled again for a second, returning to a more past era.The third floor is where the magazine is. Here, the editor-in-chief has the editor-in-chief's office, the editor has the editor's office, and the reporters also have their own offices.There are also conference rooms, and each office is equipped with a telephone that can receive faxes.

Moreover, the office tables and chairs are all made of solid wood, and a large square coffee table is specially placed in the editor's office so that visitors to the editor's office can make tea here.

In fact, all that is needed is to put some Kung Fu tea tea sets on the coffee table and some tea pets. Like many companies in later generations, guests first sit in front of the tea table and drink tea, and then talk about business.

With this set in place, Xu Shan finally filled up the house in Shanghai. He allocated another 10 yuan to Cao Ling and proudly asked her to hire as many people as she wanted.

Cao Ling was also speechless. In her opinion, this was too extravagant and wasteful. However, Xu Shan kept saying it was worth it, saying that if he didn't only invest in the magazine, he would have to buy a few more houses in Shanghai, which would be considered worthy. I had to go all the way to Shanghai to get so much money.

Fortunately, Cao Ling also knew that Xu Shan was really rich, and she didn't think that he had any agenda for spending so much money, or that he was just showing off his wealth. Anyway, in her opinion, Xu Shan was an anomaly, so his behavior was a bit unsociable. It is also understandable.

She just quietly used all her connections to find editors, reporters, and people for the newly opened coffee shop. She even placed an advertisement in the newspaper, hoping to get some business for the coffee shop.

And none of this was something Xu Shan, the hands-off shopkeeper, wanted to take care of. After he explained all this, he didn't stop in Shanghai and took the train back to Longshui that day.

His roots are still in Longshui, so many industries are in Longshui, not to mention that Criminal Investigation Xinba is growing rapidly now. Everyone has taken over several cases and successfully solved them, but when they really encounter difficult cases, they still You have to rely on Xu Shan to control the situation.

When I came out of the train station, it was raining in Longshui. The early winter rain kept falling with chill. There were not many pedestrians on the street. Xu Shan didn't bring an umbrella and didn't want to trouble others, so he had to tighten his clothes and risk his life. Rain rushes down the street.

When he arrived at Chaitou Feng, his coat was completely wet. He entered the store like a drowned dog, startling Wu Di and Zhou Yuzhu who were looking at the store.

When they saw it was Xu Shan, the two women had different expressions. Wu Di was sad for a while because Xu Shan had faked his death before, so now she was still angry and joked with a mocking expression: "This is not Boss Xu. Well, why did it end like this? Did you do something bad and get kicked out of your family?"

Zhou Yuzhu, however, quickly took out the new men's winter clothes, handed them to Xu Shan, and asked him to go to the dressing room to change clothes before coming out.After Xu Shan changed his clothes and drank a pot of hot tea brewed by Zhou Yuzhu, he suddenly felt quite warm.

"How are you doing lately?" Xu Shan asked.

Zhou Yuzhu didn't say anything, but Wu Di was the first to say: "If you want to talk about the business in the store, it's not bad, but if you want to talk about whether the store is good, I can tell you responsibly, it's not good, our store is in trouble. "
