Real estate tycoon

Gu Chen raised his eyes to look in the direction of the kitchen, and could faintly see the busy figure. The young man seemed to be in a good mood, humming a song he had never heard before, accompanied by the sound of cooking soup in the kitchen, and a faint The food is delicious and feels like home.

"No, you go to work, hang up first."

Zhou Xuejun has known Gu Chen for more than 20 years, and he naturally heard the slightly rising tail sound. It is obvious that this good mood comes from Gu Xiaotian. This knowledge makes him a little confused, but he will not ask stupidly. I just plan to pay more attention to Gu Xiaotian's movements for the other party in the future.

As an assistant, if he waited for the boss to order everything, his position would have been replaced by someone else. Maybe he was working as a clerk in some office at this time, printing documents for others.Although he is also Gu Chen's brother who grew up together, but he knows that it is just Gu Chen giving him face. To be honest, Gu Chen's brother is not him, but Deputy Director Li of the Public Security Bureau. Mayor Wang, he is just a small follower. In ancient times, he was only a book boy.

Here Gu Chen has no time to worry about his thoughts, because Gu Xiaotian has finished the last dish and is setting the table.

"Godfather, it's time to eat." Gu Xiaotian yelled as he turned his head sideways when he finished the phone call.

"En." Against the light, Gu Chen couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could hear the smile in his voice.

The two sat down at the table casually and slowly enjoyed the food on the table.There are not many dishes, but everything is pleasing to the eye and delicious.

The red pork ribs are served in a white disk with green vegetables, each piece is shiny and shiny, constantly exuding aroma, as if to tell yourself how delicious it is.Gu Chen couldn't help but picked up a piece with the chopsticks he had just started, and the taste was more satisfying than what he had eaten outside.The plump green vegetables are also lying on the plate as soft as green onions, and the greenness can be described as crisp and dripping.The vinegared yellow croaker stewed with tomatoes is not only bright in color, but even the bones are very crispy. After taking a bite, Gu Chen's index finger was moved by the sour taste enhanced with lemon.

From the time the two of them started eating, Gu Chen was eating fish, and when Gu Xiaotian finally plucked up the courage to serve him soup, Gu Chen was still holding the dish.He ate very elegantly, eating small bites, and the speed was not fast, but judging by the time, it could also explain why the fish was only half left.

"Godfather, let's have some soup. This soup has been stewed for a long time, and the taste will not be too bad." Gu Xiaotian's hand holding the bowl trembled a little. Although he didn't want to admit it, he was really afraid of Gu Chen. The excellent masculine aura is too strong, and it takes all of Gu Xiaotian's energy just to face him.

"Thank you." Gu Chen took the bowl from Gu Xiaotian's hand and placed it on the table casually.In the bone soup that has been boiled all afternoon, the pink and tender lotus root quietly sinks and floats in the delicious soup. Say no.

"Godfather, will you come back for dinner every night?" Gu Xiaotian asked casually.

Gu Chen looked up at him, paused for a few seconds, and then replied, "No, I have an engagement tonight."

If Zhou Xuejun was here, he would definitely be shocked by Gu Chen's answer. As an excellent assistant, in order to meet the boss's request, he must use his brain to analyze every move of the other party. He said that he had no such idea at all, but now he hesitated for a while, showing that he actually meant it this way, and he was not a person who likes to explain, but he explained it for the first time today, which shows that he still has this idea for Gu Xiaotian. very different.

It’s just that Gu Xiaotian, who is not familiar with him, didn’t come to such a conclusion. He only thought that his food strategy plan had failed, and said with a little regret, “If you have time someday and want to come back for dinner, just give me a call.”

"Ah."

☆, lost in the first battle

Gu Chen rubbed his sore temples, took a sip from the water glass in front of him.The water was already slightly cold. Somehow, the tea I was used to drinking felt a little bland today, so I couldn't help but frown.Just picked up the pen, and suddenly remembered Gu Xiaotian's concentrated expression when he was making tea for himself, and was thinking about what the other party would be doing at this time, when he saw Zhou Xuejun walking over.

"Brother Chen, Young Master Gu went to the building of "Sanyuan Daily" with his friends today."

Hearing this sentence, Gu Chen was slightly taken aback, and his hand that was still writing paused.

Seeing that Gu Chen raised his head, obviously interested, Zhou Xuejun continued, "Young Master Gu seems to be submitting a manuscript. I heard that he has written a novel."

Remembering that Gu Xiaotian originally studied in the Department of Literature, Gu Chen nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Brother Chen, do you want to..." Zhou Xuejun asked tentatively. These days are enough for him to realize that Gu Chen treats Gu Xiaotian differently. This means that he really treats him as his own son. Since he likes him so much, then It is also normal to satisfy the other party's wishes.Of course, the old man Wang of "Sanyuan Daily" is very stubborn, and the backstage is also hard. If Gu Xiaotian's level is too poor, old man Wang may not be willing to publish this novel, but there are so many newspapers in Datianchao, compared to the influence of "Sanyuan Daily" If you come to a powerful newspaper office, you won't have too much difficulty.

Gu Chen shook his head, "He will do it himself."

After saying this, he returned to his official duties and stopped talking.Only a little black ink on the paper stands out.

Besides, Gu Xiaotian, last night he took the manuscript from Gu Nian, and excitedly waited for Mi Luo at the gate of the community early in the morning.

"Little God, why is there such a hurry, I have to come to you so early, I haven't woken up yet." Mi Luo rubbed his sleepy eyes with his sausage-thick hands, and said in a daze. asked.

Gu Xiaotian glanced at his stupefied face, and couldn't help laughing, "Eating, eating, sleeping, and sleeping are about to catch up with Maitreya Buddha, all right, let's go quickly, and I invite you to dinner at noon."

Mi Luo took a big bite of the bread handed by the other party, and asked casually, "What's for lunch?" Looking at Gu Xiaotian's contemptuous eyes, he smiled, and then asked, "You haven't said where you are going yet?"

"Kyushu."

Mi Luo was finally woken up this time, and asked with a face full of shock, "Ah! We are really going to contribute to the "Sanyuan Daily"! I thought you were joking. Oh boy, that is the author of the article If you get into the place, you will be a new generation of Mo Fei, and you will be a great writer who will be popular all over the world in the future. God, my childhood is a great god."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaotian was amused by him, and burst out laughing, "I haven't written a single horoscope, so don't boast, I really can't be called a writer, even if I really succeeded today, I can't compete with Mo Fei Such a great comparison."

However, Mi Luo obviously didn't listen to his words, and kept talking about why he didn't go to the Department of Literature all the way, so he could write novels, and in the future, he would be able to combine two swords, and so on and so forth made Gu Xiaotian laugh non-stop.

When he was approaching the building of "Sanyuan Daily", Mi Luo realized a problem, and couldn't help asking, "Xiaotian, why are we going to Kyushu? Doesn't "Sanyuan Daily" have a mailbox for accepting manuscripts? It seems that some people from your department have submitted papers there before.”

"We belong to those people. You have heard of countless contributors, and how many have been accepted?" Gu Xiaotian asked.

Mi Luo said thoughtfully, "It seems that I haven't seen many, so you think the chances of coming to the door are higher? Let me tell you a very funny thing. When I went to find you last time, I just heard that That Zhang Shi posted an article on it, and it was so loud, I remembered the number of the issue they mentioned, and after going back for a long time, I found his article in a corner, that's all. Write a few words, thanks to him being embarrassed to say it. He always looks down on you. When we hang up this time, novels with so many words are much better than him. Then we will see where his face will be, haha..."

Thinking of the expression that would appear on Zhang Shi's face, Mi Luo was delighted. For those who had mocked the original owner, Mi Luo held more grudges than Gu Xiaotian.

The reason why Gu Xiaotian brought the manuscript to the door was really hit by Mi Luo.He used to work in an entertainment company, and there was a department in charge of screenwriting. He had personally seen how many scripts that department received every year, and how many scripts were thrown into the trash without even having a chance to open them.

Besides, "Sanyuan Daily" has a great reputation, just like what Mi Luo said, "Sanyuan Daily" has entered its heyday since Mo Fei came out, and many people even think it is a great honor to publish articles on it , so their sources of manuscripts are very sufficient, and they receive countless manuscripts every day, but they don't necessarily read every article carefully.Not to mention that he wrote "Legend of Flying Feather", even the original "Dream of Red Mansions" may not be able to escape the fate of the trash can. In order to prevent his novel from encountering such an ending, Gu Xiaocai chose to come to the door in person.

Entering the newspaper office building, Mi Luo couldn't help stretching his neck to look around. He had never been to a newspaper office before, so he was very curious.

At this moment, a young girl walked over from behind and asked with a smile, "You are not from here, are you? Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Mi Luo and Gu Xiaotian turned their heads together. After a while, Gu Xiaotian heard the sound of swallowing saliva and grunting from Mi Luo, which was very loud.Going to look at him again, I saw his eyes were wide open, staring at the girl tightly, unable to move his eyes away no matter what.

In Gu Xiaotian's eyes, the girl's dress was very ordinary. The pink lotus skirt was paired with a pair of small leather shoes, her hair was permed into wavy curls, and her mouth was painted with bright red lipstick. In the 90s, it was so foreign-looking that only people who had been abroad would have such a dress.Coupled with her outstanding appearance, it's no wonder that Mi Luo was dumbfounded.

"Hello, we're here to find Editor-in-Chief Wang, how about you?" Gu Xiaotian nodded at the girl, and pulled Lamiluo again as he spoke, finally bringing him back to his senses.

The little girl seemed to enjoy other people's obsessed eyes, and said happily, "What do you want from my dad?"

"I wrote a novel and I want to show him the manuscript, can you take me there?" Gu Xiaotian asked with a smile.

"Anyway, I'm going to look for him, so you can go with me. By the way, my name is Wang Tiantian, what's your name?" Gu Xiaotian was already good-looking, and Zhou Xuejun bought him a lot of the most popular clothes nowadays. The clothes are much better dressed up than when they were in Gu's house. His smile is a bit of an overturning feeling, and with Mi Luo as a meatball, even the girl who dressed herself up beautifully is fascinated by him.

"My name is Mi Luo, and his name is Gu Xiaotian." Mi Luo hurriedly replied, "Tiantian, this name is really nice, just like yours, sweet."

"Is that why you should be called Mi Zhuangzhuang, and his name is Gu Shuaishuai?" The girl's silver bell-like laughter sounded again.

"My father is very thin. I probably never thought that I would be so strong when I grew up, so I had to be called Miluo. I think, your name is Tiantian. You must have been sweet and cute since you were a child. Your family has already foreseen it. You will become the big beauty you are now." It is said that love can make people become poets, this girl Mi Luo foresaw her heartbeat for the first time, the words of praise came from her mouth without bending her tongue, which made Gu Xiaotian look at her with admiration .

After hearing this, Wang Tiantian covered her mouth and laughed, it was obvious that Mi Luo's words of praise really benefited her.Several people chatted all the way, and soon arrived at Wang Yuesheng's office.

"Father." Wang Tiantian didn't knock on the door, opened the door directly and shouted with a smile, Gu Xiaotian and the two followed.

"Tiantian, why are you here? Who are they?" Wang Yuesheng was writing at his desk before, but he frowned when he heard the movement, and when he saw that it was his beloved little daughter, his temper dissipated again .

"They are my friends who came to contribute. This is Gu Xiaotian, the author of the novel, and he is Mi Luo." Wang Tiantian took Wang Yuesheng's hand, and winked at Gu Xiaotian triumphantly after speaking, wanting to tell him that she would definitely help He convinced his father.The other party's reaction gave Gu Xiaotian a headache, the kindness came so suddenly that there was no room for him to refuse, but this girl didn't know it yet, because of her behavior, Wang Yuesheng didn't want to see him anymore.

Hearing this, Wang Yuesheng's complexion changed invisibly, and he felt that this was another scum who took advantage of his precious daughter, but the daughter was still by his side, so he couldn't just drive him away directly, so as to embarrass his daughter. Then he said to Gu Xiaotian, "Put down the manuscript, I'll find someone to read it later." With a wave of his big hand, he signaled Gu Xiaotian and the others to leave.

At the moment when Wang Yuesheng spoke, Gu Xiaotian suddenly realized that he could leave, because the other party would never satisfy his request.

A few years ago, "Sanyuan Daily" made a beautiful turnaround with Mo Fei, and now it is in its heyday, especially this year, their subscriptions have stabilized at the top of "Times Daily", which can be said to be the number one in the private newspaper industry. Home.There is already a Mo Fei master in their family, and it is impossible to push a newcomer very hard.In addition, Wang Yuesheng has received countless manuscripts every day since he bought horse bones for a show, and there are also many wonderful novels that are more stable than Gu Xiaotianwen, so even if he is asked to read the articles, all he sees are "Flying The disadvantage of "Legend of Feather".He doesn't look good right now, it's okay if he likes the article after a while, if he doesn't like it, it will be even uglier, but no matter what, he won't satisfy his request.

Wang Tiantian took Wang Yuesheng's hand and shook it non-stop, saying, "Dad, that story is very exciting, and there are not many of them anyway, so you can read it when you have time."

Gu Xiaotian suddenly laughed and said, "I'm really sorry, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things missing in this manuscript, I'll go back first, and post the manuscript to your magazine later, so I won't bother you."

After Gu Xiaotian and the others left, Wang Yuesheng glanced at the resentful daughter and said, "Okay, they're gone. Don't bring friends over casually in the future, and don't cause yourself such troubles. I really don't know what you're thinking." He tapped his daughter's forehead with his finger.

"Who made that Gu Xiaotian look so good-looking, like a celestial being? When he was seen by those eyes, people couldn't help but want to help him." Wang Tiantian pouted, and suddenly shouted again, "Oops, I forgot to ask for their contact information."

"Okay, he will have new articles to contribute in the future, and he will come again. I will let you pay attention." Wang Yuesheng casually made a promise that would not be fulfilled. Then Gu Xiaotian was too beautiful, and wrote It may not be a good thing to come out with such obscene words and pornographic songs. He doesn't want his daughter to put her mind on him by mistake, so he must take advantage of this time to strangle the seedlings of love.

"That's great, thank you Dad."

As Wang Tiantian said, she kissed Wang Yuesheng on the face, made her face look bad, pushed her to the side, and said, "You have learned something in this country..."

At the same time, Mi Luo, the building where the Sanyuan Daily came out, still looked confused, and asked after thinking for a while, "Oh my god, are we not going to contribute?"

"No, I want to vote, but I just don't come to their house." Thinking that he had done such a stupid thing, Gu Xiaotian couldn't hold back. During the dog days, the cold air radiating from his body made Mi Luo who was standing next to him tremble unconsciously.

"Then what should we do? Do we want to go back?" The fat man scratched his scalp, seeing that Gu Xiaotian was unhappy, but he didn't know how to comfort him, which made him a little unhappy.

"No, let's go to the Times."

☆, another victory

Compared with newspapers such as "Sanyuan Daily", which emerged later, "Times Daily" has a much longer history, and can be said to be the ancestor of the modern newspaper industry in China.As early as the former dynasty, it was established in accordance with the trend of learning foreign advanced culture. It is the first batch of private newspapers in China, and it is also the only one that has achieved so far.

During the period of social turmoil and political change, it contributed a lot to the dissemination of new ideas and new cultures. It can be said that in that era, it did enough work for the current government's propaganda.Therefore, since the establishment of Tianchao, its background is much stronger than that of ordinary newspapers. It has been going smoothly for many years, and its sales volume has been ranked first in the country all year round.

It's just that when the love becomes stronger, it turns weaker. As a private newspaper, Times Daily does not want to be controlled by the government, and the government also established its own newspaper after some weighing.At the same time, the control over the newspaper industry became increasingly loose, and the Tianchao newspaper industry ushered in the most prosperous era of development. Numerous newspaper offices sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and the two newspaper offices of "Sanyuan Daily" and "Dongfang Daily" Taking advantage of the stalemate between "Times Daily" and the government, it quickly seized the market, and "Times Daily" had huge internal problems, and its sales myth was finally shattered.

Before Gu Xiaotian wanted to publish a novel, he gave priority to "Sanyuan Daily" with the best market prospect, but thought that "Sanyuan Daily" would not push him so much, so he simply changed to another company and asked for a sky-high remuneration much higher than Mo Fei , Just squeeze Mo Fei down.

He knew very well that if he could find a way to get a higher remuneration than Mo Fei, just one yuan more, then he would be able to make a name for himself based on Mo Fei.After all, he is only a first-year student in the Department of Literature, and Mo Fei is Liong. .A veteran of the literary world for decades, his salary is higher than that of the other party. No matter who is better, everyone knows who is better. After all, he still has a long life, but the other party is already old.Thinking of this, Gu Xiaotian suddenly felt that the goal was clear.

The reason why he dared to have such a bold idea was because Mo Fei's market appeal was too great. Every time he serialized a martial arts novel, the sales of "Sanyuan Daily" would surpass that of other newspapers. It's not a day or two to be overwhelmed. At this time, he must have tried his best to increase his sales.In particular, "Times Daily" can already be described as lingering. Once this standard cool article of mine comes out, the market appeal will definitely not be small, and their sales will definitely increase. As long as it is a good medicine, I am afraid that others will not be willing to give it money.

Arriving at the "Times Daily" building, Gu Xiaotian was thinking about how to find the editor-in-chief's office, when the staff on duty inside walked over because of Mi Luo's poking around.It's just that Gu Xiaotian dressed up in a luxurious manner, and he couldn't figure out the identity of the other party, so he asked tentatively, "Hello, sir, how can I help you?"

"I'm looking for your editor-in-chief Du." Gu Xiaotian replied, guessing in his heart that this place is so grand, the editor-in-chief might not be as easy to meet as "Sanyuan Daily".

"Do you have an appointment?"

"Well, I've already contacted him beforehand. I'm here on behalf of my father to discuss the renewal of the contract with him. Can you tell me where his office is?" Gu Xiaotian replied with a serious face.

"Of course, of course, I'll take you there. Who is your father?" The man was in awe when he heard his words, and only regarded him as the son of some great god, trying to establish a good relationship.

Gu Xiaotian waved his hand, "Just tell me where it is, and I can go by myself."

"Go through this side, the small building in the back yard, take the stairs on the left to the third floor, and the innermost door says editor-in-chief."

"Okay, thank you." Gu Xiaotian smiled at the man, and pulled the shocked Mi Luo away.

Mi Luo looked at Gu Xiaotian with rather complicated eyes all the way, and his heart was beating wildly as he was ready to express some emotions.He couldn't tell why, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

The Gu Xiaotian in his memory has always been the one who was bullied. Although he would fight with others more often, he was always the one who helped him scold and lie.At that time, he didn't pay attention to it, but now, Gu Xiaotian lied without blinking his eyes. If he hadn't been with him, he would have been deceived. He never thought that there would be a day when Gu Xiaotian didn't need him. But this day came so soon, and finally realized why Gu Xiaotian gave him a different feeling from before, because the person in front of him became more confident and powerful. Thinking of this, he felt a little sour and a little happy.

The two, with their own concerns, came to the door of the editor-in-chief's office.

Gu Xiaotian turned his head sideways and glanced into the wide open door. The office is divided into two parts. A middle-aged man in his thirties is sitting in the outer one. Judging by his age and appearance, he knows that it is not Du Yifeng, but There is also a door on the back wall of this office, Gu Xiaotian guessed that the real editor-in-chief's office is inside the door.

Seeing this layout, Gu Xiaotian sighed. It really was a newspaper established in the previous dynasty, and the bureaucracy was much more serious than "Sanyuan Daily".

Pulling Mi Luo and walking a few meters to the side, Gu Xiaotian said very solemnly, "Mi Luo, whether I can succeed today depends on you, you must help me with this."

Mi Luo, who was listless because he felt that he was useless to Gu Xiaotian, immediately pricked up his ears when he heard this, and patted his chest very seriously, "You say, no matter what it is, as long as I can do it, It will definitely be done for you."

"Good brother." Gu Xiaotian patted Mi Luo's shoulder happily, "I want to go into that room, but there is a secretary outside, I need you to help me lure him out."

"How should I lure him out?" Mi Luogulu swallowed and asked nervously.

"In a while, you will go to that door, and scold you according to what is written on it. The bigger the disturbance, the better. There are only three sentences in total, and you can repeat them over and over again. When someone pulls you away, you Tell you to fall to the ground and pretend to be sick, so that others won’t do anything to you. If you pretend to be sick, just remember, hold your breath, make your face flushed and sweaty, and it’s almost the same.”

Mi Luo nodded, took a deep breath, and finally started to act after two or three minutes.It was the first time for him to do such a thing. He was so nervous that he didn't even notice that he was walking with his hands and feet. After passing the door of the editor-in-chief's office, Mi Luo started to shout, ""Times Daily" screwed me up. Lah...Du Yifeng, come out to me...If you don't come, I will call the police..."Daily Times" cheated me..."

He was tall and strong, with enough lung capacity, so his voice was very loud. This shout immediately alarmed many people.

"What are you doing? Are you sick..."

"Go quickly, don't make trouble here."

Before those people's hands touched Mi Luo, they saw him slamming, and suddenly fell to the ground with a bang, covering his chest with his hands and curling up into a ball, his complexion was flushed, and his face was full of veins. Sudden illness.

"Hey, what did you do to him?"

"It's none of my business. I just touched him lightly. He is sick..."

"It's possible. Look at him like that. Could it be a heart attack?"

"Nonsense, it looks like asthma."

The people around started talking about it, and finally it was too lively outside, so the secretary was lured out, and he squatted on the ground and asked, "Are you okay? Call an ambulance quickly, and two more people will take care of him. The editor-in-chief is in a meeting, so don't make too much noise."

Taking advantage of his coming out, Gu Xiaotian slipped into Du Yifeng's office.The little farce prepared for the "Sanyuan Daily" was not used there, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

Gu Xiaotian walked into Du Yifeng's office and found that there were three people in the office. Du Yifeng sitting at the top was about 25 or [-] years old.The one with eyebrows sitting next to him looks a bit like him. It is his cousin Du Erfeng. As for the older one, it is Zhang Lin, the veteran of "Times Daily".It seemed that these people were discussing something, even arguing fiercely, but when they saw him coming in, they all raised their heads in unison.

"Who are you?" Du Erfeng asked with an unhappy face.

"I have a way to change the status quo of Times Daily." Without answering the other party's question, Gu Xiaotian said confidently.

"Which department do you belong to? Let you lead over here."

Du Yifeng pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, waved his hand at Du Erfeng, who was full of displeasure, and looked at Gu Xiaotian curiously, saying, "Are you also from our newspaper?"

"Before answering your question, you can read this first." Gu Xiaotian took out a stack of manuscripts from his bag and put it on the desk in front of Du Yifeng.

Gu Xiaotian's appearance is very good, he dresses well, speaks and behaves very decently, looks full of extravagance, even if he comes uninvited now, he still doesn't make Du Yifeng feel bored, on the contrary, he has some feelings for this young man who used some means to come in. Two points of curiosity.Flipping through the manuscript he handed over, Du Yifeng's gaze was attracted by the time travel at the beginning of the chapter, and the more he looked at the back, the light in his eyes became brighter, and his expression became serious.

After reading all the manuscripts, Du Yifeng looked away from the manuscript. He was so excited that even his body was trembling slightly, and his hands were covered with sweat. He handed the manuscript to Zhang Lin who was sitting next to him. Concentrated, stood up with a smile, walked quickly to Gu Xiaotian's side and said, "Sir, please sit down, Xiao Zhang, make tea quickly."

"Thank you." The other party responded very well, and Gu Xiaotian laughed.

At this time, Du Yifeng already knew that this person was not an employee of his own newspaper, but a contributor. He just didn't know whether it was the author or someone else who contributed the manuscript. After sitting down beside him, Du Yifeng asked, "I don't know what to call Mr.?"

"Gu Xiaotian."

"Haha, it's too much..." Du Erfeng, who was reading the manuscript next to Zhang Lin, suddenly pointed at the manuscript and laughed. "This book is really good, it's really refreshing to read..."

Du Yifeng glanced at Du Erfeng, lowered his eyes and asked, "Is this "Legend of Flying Feather" the work of Mr. Gu?"

"of course."

A trace of doubt flashed in Du Yifeng's eyes. After all, this article seemed very exciting to him, and it really didn't look like it was written by a boy of eighteen or nineteen.So I asked a few questions tentatively, and deliberately talked to him about the plot direction and story structure of the novel to confirm that he is the real creator.I can't blame Du Yifeng for being so careful. There is something wrong with their newspaper office, and now they are on the cusp of the storm. Every step they take can be said to be walking on eggshells, and there is really no room for mistakes.

After confirming the originality of the novel, Du Yifeng asked, "Would Mr. Gu be willing to serialize this "Legend of Flying Feather" in "Times Daily?"

☆、Discuss the price

When he said this, Zhang Lin, who was still reading, changed his face. After all, he is an older person, and his taste is different from that of young people. After reading this article, he is the same as Wang Yuesheng. He only feels that the writing in this book is not good enough. It's also very frivolous, especially those romantic affairs, it's very low-grade, no matter how you look at it, it's not pleasing to the eye.He wanted to say a few words, but there were outsiders around, so he couldn't save Du Yifeng's face, so he swallowed the words back.

After getting the answer he wanted, Gu Xiaotian smiled, "I don't know how to calculate the manuscript fee?"

"How about forty thousand characters?"

Gu Xiaotian shook his head with a smile and didn't speak. He only thought in his heart that the manuscript fee is really low. This price is far from six hundred thousand characters. That price is really not easy to get If you get it, it seems that you have to take strong medicine.

"You young man is so ignorant. Forty thousand characters is already very high. Don't you think that your father's salary is only a few hundred a month? An article written by a newcomer who is not well-known is usually only two or three thousand characters. Ten, I'm not boasting, you can get a bunch of thousands of words like this for ten yuan. Today, the boss gave you face and negotiated with you personally, but you can pick up the big one." Before Du Yifeng could answer, Zhang Lin stood Got up, pointed at Gu Xiaotian angrily and cursed.

Zhang Lin hated this kind of ignorant, arrogant newcomer the most. He always naively thought that as long as he stepped out, he would be able to kill all directions and become famous in Kyushu.But in fact, they have great eyesight and low abilities, they like to talk too much, they can't do anything well, and they end up with nothing in the end.

"Oh, I didn't expect my article to be so bad. I thought I could read it. When you say that, I'm really embarrassed to show it, let alone waste the manuscript fee of your newspaper. How about it, I'll go back now Come out and submit manuscripts after you have practiced your writing." Gu Xiaotian touched his head and smiled, and said that he was going to Du Erfeng to get the manuscript.

When Du Yifeng saw "Legend of Flying Feather" at first glance, he knew that it would be a commercial classic novel that would make a lot of money. Do not arouse people's desire to look back.It’s just that Gu Xiaotian’s performance after appearing on the stage was too arrogant. In order to prevent Gu Xiaotian from being like many new writers, relying on his ability to disregard the newspaper, he deliberately used Zhang Lin to kill the opponent’s spirit, but this Gu Xiaotian also pretended to be stupid with them, The state of not getting into oil and salt made him quite troublesome.

I was also afraid that if he really left, he would go to contact other newspapers, so that their losses would not be so great. Not only would they miss out on a good article, but they would also send a sharp weapon to increase sales to others, and stab themselves again. .Thinking about it this way, Du Yifeng decided not to care about those, as long as Gu Xiaotian's conditions were not particularly harsh, he would be willing to sign the other party on the spot. If he was a little proud, he would be a little more proud, anyway, he could be transferred and taught in the future.Seeing Gu Xiaotian's actions, he quickly winked at Du Erfeng.

"Look at how impatient you are. You are so young. How can you talk about things like this? I think your essay is pretty good, and you don't need to revise it. Sit down quickly, and let's talk about the price." Du Erfeng stood up carelessly. He got up, walked over, dragged a chair crossed and sat down.

Du Yifeng said at this time, "Mr. Gu's article, I really like it, how about the manuscript fee of sixty thousand characters? You just take this article to other places, and no one can offer a higher price than us."

Gu Xiaotian said, "Has Editor-in-Chief Du ever thought about launching an author from "Times Daily" who can fight Mo Fei?"

Zhang Lin laughed out loud, exuding an air of arrogance, "What an arrogant young man, your heart is so high that you dare to compare yourself to Mo Fei. You really regard yourself as a great writer."

Du Erfeng understood what he meant, and knew that he wanted a manuscript fee of six hundred thousand words for his answer, so he analyzed the situation for him, "To be honest, the entire novel world doesn't talk about publishing, but only about newspaper serialization." On the other hand, there are not many people in China who can offer you such a price with over [-] characters and [-] characters. There is no one other than our "Times Daily". It is very unlikely that your novel "Sanyuan Daily" will receive the manuscript. Big, what they want now is stability, your article is too radical, it doesn't fit their style, and "Oriental Daily" has never been as good as us in terms of remuneration, and they can give you thirty thousand words for your article at most. "

After listening to these people's words, Gu Xiaocai realized that they were not as rude as they appeared, on the contrary, they were very shrewd. In these words, they were praising their own newspapers, stepping on other newspapers, and pretending to be good for you. look.Especially since reading the manuscript, Du Erfeng and Zhang Lin have been together, one singing the red face and the other singing the bad face. If it is changed to someone who is not so confident in what he writes, he will definitely be fooled by them and will accept them. My manuscript is grateful to Dade, and treats them as the Bole of life, and sells himself to his brothers from then on.

Gu Xiaotian turned to look at Du Yifeng, looked at him seriously and asked, "Editor Du, what do you think?"

Du Yifeng hesitated for a moment, lowered his eyelids and took a sip of tea with an unchanged expression. The person in front of him was not easy to fool him, and he knew that he was ambitious. He still insisted on it, which is really rare among young people.Thinking that this novel might change the current decline of "Times Daily", he finally made up his mind and said, "Thousand words and one hundred, this is what top-level authors can get. There are only a handful of them.”
