1980 My literary era

Li Guangfu is a smart man, and Lin Weimin rarely takes the initiative to trouble him. Today he called him here just to put on a show in front of Shi Tiesheng. He knew that Lin Weimin would not treat him badly, so he was happy to cooperate.

At the same time, I admire Lin Weimin's character even more. Being able to make such friends is worth it in this life!

After Li Guangfu left, Lin Weimin and Tao Huimin drove home.

Although she didn't hear what Lin Weimin said to Li Guangfu when he got out of the car, she knew her husband's character very well and knew that there must be a reason why he called Li Guangfu here today.

She asked Lin Weimin about it, and Lin Weimin didn't hide anything. He said, "If the house is divided, Tie Sheng will definitely not be willing to spend more money to clean it up. After finally dividing the house, he has to live in a nicer place no matter what. Tie Sheng's health has not been as good as before in the past two years." Well, he has to go to the hospital more often, which also delays his creation. Less creation means less income, so let them keep some money in their hands."

Shi Tiesheng's income has not been high in recent years, but most of the money has been spent on hospitals, so life at home is still very simple.

After a new house was allocated this time, Lin Weimin secretly sponsored some decorations, just to let Shi Tiesheng and his wife keep more money in their hands. Otherwise, if Shi Tiesheng became ill in the future and he sponsored it, the couple would be under greater pressure.

Another half month later, Shi Tiesheng's house was officially divided.

Shi Tiesheng called Lin Weimin on a weekend morning and invited him to look at the new house.

Lin Weimin first went to his home to pick up Shi Tiesheng, his wife and Shi's father. Shi Lan and his wife also came today, following behind on bicycles.

Jintai Road was busy with traffic. As cars were driving on the road, Lin Weimin looked towards both sides of the road, "Where is the house?"

"That's the Huilou over there. Turn around at the intersection and go west and find a post office newsstand." Shi Tiesheng sat in the passenger seat and showed him the way.

Lin Weimin drove according to his instructions and found the green newsstand. Then he walked north and turned left at the fourth row of buildings. After going around and around, he finally found the building where Shi Tiesheng lived.

Several people got out of the car, and Lin Weimin looked up at the featureless gray building.

So ugly!

But it is what most people in this era, including future generations, only dream of.

"This building is hard to find. It's hidden too deep. I think you'll have to set up a sign at the intersection to guide everyone." Lin Weimin laughed and teased Shi Tiesheng.

"You'll get familiar with it after two more visits. It's nice to have some peace and quiet amidst the hustle and bustle." Shi Tiesheng said with a smile.

Several people waited downstairs for a while before Shi Lan and his wife arrived on their bicycles. Shi Lan complained as he pushed the bicycle: "Can't you wait for us?"

"I want to wait too, Brother You is worried!"

Shi Lan rolled her eyes at him, "You are the worst, sowing discord all day long."

Everyone joked and went upstairs.

These days, there is no public accounting for buildings, only construction area and apartment area. The house Shi Tiesheng divided is more than 130 square meters. Some walls have been removed, and the rest is the actual apartment area.

When the family entered the house, what they saw was obviously just gray cement mortar and concrete, but it made everyone happy.

"This house is too big!" Shi Lan walked around the house, his eyes filled with envy.

The house she and her husband Qin Gang currently live in is only more than 40 square meters. When Leng Buding saw the house of more than 130 square meters, he felt extremely spacious.

The house has three bedrooms, two living rooms and one bathroom. Since there is no public area, each room is not small.

Cheng Ximi pushed Shi Tiesheng around the room, planning the uses of these rooms for him.

The couple lived in one room, Shi's father lived in another room, and the other room served as Shi Tiesheng's study.

The couple imagined what the house would look like in the future, with hope in their eyes.

"Tiesheng, I think it is better to choose the day than to hit it. Let Guangfu lead the people to take a look today." Lin Weimin suggested.

"good."

Lin Weimin went out and called Li Guangfu. Less than an hour later, Li Guangfu came with the two of them.

With Lin Weimin's prior instructions, Li Guangfu had already prepared all the decoration materials early.

After a simple communication, it was agreed that work would start tomorrow morning.

"I have almost prepared all the materials over there. If we hurry up, your family will be able to move in before the Chinese New Year."

Before leaving, Li Guangfu said to Shi Tiesheng's family.

The wrinkles on Father Shi's face were all smiles, and he kept saying: "Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work."

After seeing off Li Guangfu and others, everyone was ready to leave.

Walking downstairs, Father Shi couldn't help but look back at the featureless gray building.

"Dad, get in the car quickly!" Shi Lan urged as he rode his bicycle.

"Here we come!" Father Shi retracted his gaze, responded, and got into the car.

Shi Lan and his wife left on bicycles, and Lin Weimin's car carried Shi's father and Shi Tiesheng.

Shi Tiesheng couldn't help but sigh.

At first, the family lived in two small rooms in the former Yongkang Hutong. The two rooms together only amounted to about 20 square meters.

Later, he visited the streets, civil affairs bureau and other departments for several years before finally getting the house at No. 26 Yonghegong Street. It still had two rooms but was nearly twice as big as before.

Later, he married Cheng Ximi, and Lin Weimin rented the Shichahai courtyard to him.

The Shichahai courtyard is spacious and comfortable, and Shi Tiesheng's family lives very comfortably, but after all, they are rented there, so they don't feel at ease living there.

Now, Shi Tiesheng was assigned to this house of more than 130 square meters. His heart was filled with joy and he felt extremely happy.

"Tiesheng, don't worry about the decoration. Just wait and move in. Guangfu has been an acquaintance for so many years, and he will definitely be good at work. If there is a problem, let him change it in the future. He decorated the house and he has to be responsible. After sales.”

Shi Tiesheng was in a wheelchair, Cheng Ximi had bad legs and feet, and Shi's father was old. It was inconvenient for the family of three to go out, so Lin Weimin gave a few special instructions before leaving.

"Okay, I'll rest assured if I leave the job to him." Shi Tiesheng said.

Rather than trusting Li Guangfu, it is better to say that he trusts Lin Weimin.

Time flies and it’s almost New Year’s Day. In the two days before the holiday, Lin Weimin is extremely busy with work.

The work of the Chinese Literature Society has just been completed here, and the work of the Tongwen Society has come again.

Huang Yi's works began to be published in 1988, and in just three years this year, eighteen works have been published.

These eighteen works contained a high level of H and B, which cost the editors of Tongwen Society a lot of time and energy, so the manuscripts sent to Lin Weimin were actually pure versions.

Lin Weimin looked at these manuscripts and smacked his lips, feeling almost uninterested.

Huang Yi lost Huang and changed from a master to an apprentice.

However, even this is enough to subvert the worldview of today's readers.

At this time, Huang Yi's works did not contain much "martial arts" content, and fantasy and fantasy were the mainstream.

For many readers who have only read martial arts novels, it opens the door to a new world, so Lin Weimin has high expectations for Huang Yi's works.

Compared with a writer like Huang Yi who is very prolific but not unfinished and doesn't have a lot of supervision, Wen Ruian, who just digs holes and doesn't bury them, seems to be much less qualified.

The "Buyi Shenxiang" series sells well, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't sell well. Anyway, he is just a dead eunuch, and his bottom is gone. What can we expect from him?

Having completed the editing and review work of Huang Yi and Wen Ruian's works, Tongwen Society's work this year has been successfully completed.

Taking a closer look at Tongwen Press’s achievements over the past year, the collection of Jin Yong’s works edited and reviewed by Tongwen Press and published by Guowen Press has sold more than 550,000 copies in more than half a year since its publication, and Guowen Press’s revenue exceeded 35 million yuan.

The martial arts novel publication "Heroes of Kyushu" has published six issues, and the sales of the fifth issue exceeded 2.4 million copies. The sixth issue has just been on the market for half a month, and the sales volume is expected to hit a new high, with sales exceeding 3 million copies just around the corner.

"Heroes of Kyushu" took half a year to complete the journey that other popular literature journals took several years to complete, and has already become the most eye-catching presence in the domestic popular literature journal industry.

In October, Huang Ying's "Six Chapters of Horror" series and "Shen Shengyi" series were published. The first printing was 30,000 copies, which were sold out in less than two months. At the end of November, another 30,000 copies were printed.

The collection of Liang Yusheng's works was published in November, with an initial printing of 80,000 copies. Now, in less than two months, news has come from bookstores across the country that stocks have bottomed out. Printing plants are working overtime to print and will ship the goods after New Year's Day.

In December, Wen Rui'an's "Looks of the Commoner" series was published, with an initial print run of 50,000 copies and good sales results.

After New Year's Day, Huang Yi's collection of works will be released soon, with the first printing of 50,000 copies.

The work of Tongwen Society may not seem like much, but the amount of each project cannot be underestimated. The number of words in the edited and reviewed works alone exceeds 50 million words. This number is something that many veteran editors cannot reach in their lifetime. of.

Of course there is a difference between popular literature and pure literature, but such a workload is spectacular in any publishing house.

It is precisely because of this year's efforts that Tongwen Society has achieved extremely excellent results.

The publication "Jiuzhou Heroes" alone contributed 5.44 million in output value to Tongwenshe in half a year.

The other martial arts novels published, in addition to the collection of Jin Yong's works, also created an output value of 4.79 million for Tongwenshe.

Within one year of establishment, the output value exceeded RMB 10 million.

It is an outstanding achievement for any publishing house in China.

Therefore, at the summary meeting before New Year's Day, Lin Weimin was praised several times by Cheng Wuchun, and his colleagues all slapped him red.

No one could have imagined that Tongwenshe, which was not optimistic at the beginning and had nothing but a group of soldiers and generals, would actually create such brilliant results in one year.

And all of this is thanks to Lin Weimin, the leader.

From his proposal to the higher authorities to restore the organizational structure of Tongwen News Agency, to being appointed as the president and editor-in-chief of Tongwen News Agency, to the specific implementation of every step of the work.

Lin Weimin gradually brought Tongwenshe, an empty-shell subsidiary company, to the forefront, and contributed an output value that far exceeded the average level of his peers.

Faced with such work achievements, all colleagues at the Chinese Literature Society are convinced, and at the same time, they are even more fortunate that the Chinese Literature Society has such a capable editor-in-chief.
