In the general manager's office of Sing Tao Daily, Chief Editor Xu Jianfu was sitting on the sofa respectfully. He was here to report today's sales volume. After reporting today's sales volume, he sat there respectfully. In front of him was the boss, Hu Xian. Hu Xian was the daughter of the founder of Sing Tao Daily, Hu Chaohu. She was known as the queen of the newspaper industry in Gangcheng. After Hu Chaohu passed away, she was appointed to take over Sing Tao Daily in the face of danger. She used a few years to develop a newspaper that was about to close down into one of the top newspaper groups in Gangcheng.
Hu Xian had been managing the newspaper for many years now. She had wanted to find someone to take over the management of Sing Tao Daily for some time. She could take the time to invest in real estate. Because the first oil crisis had passed, the world's economy was recovering, and so was Gang City. Therefore, she was very optimistic about the real estate market in Gang City. It was because of this that Xu Jianfu gritted his teeth and signed Xia Qiu's " Quest to the Qin Dynasty " in order to impress his new boss. However, the sales on the first day did not meet his expectations. Now, standing in front of his boss, he felt a little guilty.
After listening to Xu Jianfu's sales report, Hu Xian was not in a hurry to speak. In fact, this boss did not care much about how many copies of Sing Tao Daily could be sold. She was mainly concerned about the trend of the real estate industry.
Hu Xian looked at Xu Jianfu, who was a little reserved in front of her, and found it funny. Back then, he swore that the sales of 'Search for Qin' would increase by 10,000 after publishing it. She felt that it was wishful thinking. If it really sold so well, Jin Ming would have been writing novels every day. However, because he was an old man in the company, he had been following her since she took over the Sing Tao Daily. Therefore, when Xu Jianfu said that he wanted a full page to promote 'Search for Qin', He had agreed to help her take care of the old man who had been with her for many years, but now it seemed that Chief Editor Xu had made a mistake.
" Chief Editor Xu, let's not talk about the military pledge anymore. I don't think much of it. You're an old man who fought alongside me, so I can't really make you resign just because of one mistake. When everyone's wrong, you should stop thinking about the military pledge and resignation. Besides, even though 'Finding Qin' didn't achieve the desired results, it didn't reach the point of losing money. This is only the first day's sales. It might even increase in the future."
Xu Jianfu was very touched. He opened his mouth and finally said," General Manager, I hope to print 2,000 copies tomorrow.”He then told Hu Xian about the market's reaction. He had wanted to print 5,000 more copies, but to be on the safe side, he only said 2,000. "You're saying that the market's response is very good, but because it's only the first day, the sales didn't increase much. But that shouldn't be the case. We've also done some publicity, and according to the market's past rules, it's usually due to curiosity that the sales would be very good at the beginning, and then slowly decrease.”After thinking for a while, he said," This situation is quite special. Let's print 2,000 copies first. Even if we have to pay for it, we'll only pay for these 2,000 copies."”
Xu Jianfu was really touched this time. Although the general manager didn't care much about the newspaper company now, he was still very generous. Of course, Xia Qiu didn't know about Xu Jianfu's psychological pressure. At this time, he was working hard on his plagiarism.
"Little Xiaqiu, your newspaper was published today. I heard people talking about your novel when I was out for a walk today.”
Liu Qianqian ran over happily and handed a newspaper to Xia Qiu. This was the result of a month's hard work. Now that she finally saw the newspaper, Liu Qianqian was especially happy.
He took the newspaper from Liu Qianqian and said,"" I know. You're so happy over such a small matter. Oh right, I'll be quite busy these days and probably won't come back much. You don't have to wait for me for meals in the future."
Hearing that Xia Qiu would rarely come home, Liu Qianqian asked anxiously,""What are you busy with? Why do you rarely go home?”
"I'll probably gain some fame in the future. I'll take this opportunity to publish the novel I'm writing now. I don't want to go to the newspaper office to sell this novel at a low price, so I want to set up my own company and find people to print and sell it. If I succeed, I'll earn tens or even hundreds of times more than I do now. Even if I fail in the end, I'll just sell it to the newspaper office at a low price. So, I probably won't have time to take care of you during this period of time. You have to listen to the doctor in the hospital.”
"Oh, then you have to take care of yourself.”
"Yes, I know."
Ever since Xia Qiu made this decision, she had been really busy these few days. Other than the same cultivation time, she didn't have much time to copy novels. Xia Qiu had originally planned to rent an office near the broadcast road because there were many celebrities there. The film company and a few television stations were all there. However, after thinking about it, Xia Qiu decided to find a random place where she lived. The rent here was cheap and it was close. It would be convenient for Liu Qianqian to come over in the future. The agency had helped him find an office space, Pengcheng Building. Xia Qiu rented a 150-square-meter office on the fourth floor. The rent was very cheap, only 1,500 RMB a month. Gangcheng people were superstitious, and the word 'four' was taboo. If they gave him a year's rent in one go, he could even exempt two months 'rent. Xia Qiu paid 15,000 RMB without hesitation. In the past seventy years, housing prices had not been as high as in the future. 100,000 Jiangs could buy a house of 50 square meters. The world had just experienced the first oil crisis, so housing prices and stock prices were relatively low. The real improvement would only begin next year.
Money was easy to get things done, but Xia Qiu really did not have much money now. He gave Liu Qianqian 10,000 Jiangshi dollars out of 70,000 Jiangshi dollars, took 15,000 Jiangshi dollars out of the office rent, bought office supplies, hired employees, and finally found a printing company to print books. The main problem was that the company name had not been settled yet. He had spent 3,000 yuan to hire a finance company to help him with it. It would probably take a few days to get it done. Xia Qiu had been busy with the company's matters these days, but the entire newspaper industry was in an uproar. The Quest of Qin was like a stone thrown into a calm lake by Xia Qiu, with waves everywhere.
Chief Editor Xu Jianfu, who had been worried and stressed a few days ago, was now glowing with health and youth. He was humming a tune as he strolled around the news agency. The rumors and gossip in the past had all disappeared. Now, the employees were respectful and worshipful when they saw him. This feeling of worship made him feel that he had reached a new height in his life. Who would have thought that a teenage child, a novel that had been rejected by two major newspapers, and a gambling contract would make everyone's jaws drop? On the first day, only 800 copies were added. On the second day, it increased by 6,000 copies. On the third day, it reached 10,000 copies. A week had passed, and the increase had reached a terrifying 40,000 copies.
If that novel could be so powerful, even if Jin Ming wrote another novel, it would probably be nothing more than this. The ones who regretted it the most now should be Ming Pao and Oriental Daily. Thinking of these two newspapers, Xu Jianfu laughed in his heart. That idiot chief editor of Ming Pao didn't even read it and kicked them out. It was likely that Old Mr. Jin Ming had the intention to eat him up. Xia Jingfa of Sing Tao Daily was good at discerning, but he didn't dare to take a gamble. If he had been a little more ruthless back then, there should be nothing left for Sing Tao Daily now. Xia Qiu's encounter in Ming Pao and Oriental Daily was deliberately reported by Sing Tao Daily. Moreover, it was slowly released in several episodes, especially Xia Qiu's encounter in Ming Pao, which was featured in a big shot. The result was naturally ridiculed by the entire industry. At the same time, they envied the good luck of Sing Tao Daily, who had picked up a big bargain after Ming Pao returned to Dongfang Daily.
"Xiao Wang, you still haven't found Xia Qiu?”Xu Jianfu asked Wang Hua, who was doing the statistics. Wang Hwa was the employee who suggested Xu Jianfu to increase the printing volume after investigating the market. Since then, Xu Jianfu felt that this kid was smart and smart. He planned to train him well in the future.
" Chief Editor, I've been looking for him at the address he left behind a few times. I've been there almost every day, but I haven't seen him. I heard from the residents nearby that there's indeed a young man living there, but there's also a girl. Some time ago, they hired a nanny, and I can see the girl and the nanny every day. However, I don't know where Xia Qiu went. Every time, I'll leave my business card and interview application information. If he comes back, he should be able to see it.”
After hearing Wang Hwa's words, Xu Jianfu patted him on the shoulder and said,"Yes, I know. You did a good job, but you still have to find Xia Qiu as soon as possible. If other newspapers come to inquire about Xia Qiu, don't leak it.”
" Chief editor, don't worry. How could you tell an outsider about such a good opportunity?" After thinking for a while, he said,"Chief Editor, can we write an inspirational story about Xia Qiu?"”
Xu Jianfu was stunned when he heard that. Then, he asked," What's wrong with Xia Qiu? How can I be motivated?"
Wang Hwa's face turned red as if he had just discovered something new." According to what I've learned in the past few days, Xia Qiu and the girls she lived with had just come from the water. Can we think of it this way? A girl and a young boy, both of them sneaked in from that place in the north that was full of disasters. They thought that Gang City was a paradise, but after arriving here, they realized that it was getting harder and harder to survive. Xia Qiu started writing novels when she saw that all her funds were about to be used up and she couldn't find a job because of her young age. She didn't expect to write a novel that shocked the entire Xiangjiang City."
Xu Jianfu's eyes lit up. Not bad, not bad. This idea is not bad. Mm, you have to write more details about Xia Qiu's encounter in Ming Pao and Oriental Daily News."
That's not a problem. Wouldn't that better reflect the hardships of life?" After saying that, the two of them laughed at the same time.
