1980 My literary era

Just after June, Lin Weimin was dragged to the automobile trading company by Han Zhuangzhuang to help him buy a car.

Tao Huimin drove the Crown that Han Zhuangzhuang had been coveting for a long time. Unfortunately, his old aunt lived too frugally. The Crown was eight years old and he couldn't afford to replace it.

If you wait a little longer, Xiangjiang will return.

"I'll burn you for some money!"

This was what Han Dingbang scolded his son, and Lin Weimin deeply agreed.

The two came to the automobile trading company. Han Zhuangzhuang first ran to visit a few luxury cars, touching them from left to right and looking at them from right to left. He was so greedy that he almost stopped.

"Okay, stop looking."

Lin Weimin dragged him to the area where Santana and Jetta were parked, "Buy these two. They are made of leather and are durable and cheap."

"I don't want to buy. I want to buy a supermarket."

"How expensive is the crown, a prodigal thing?"

"Both of them are not that cheap. The difference is just over 100,000 yuan. Why don't I choose a good one?"

"One hundred thousand dollars is not money? Do you believe my uncle? The kid's car is worthless, but the German goods are solid."

Lin Weimin remembered Han Dingbang's advice before going out, and he must not buy an expensive car.

"I don't want thick skin, I want good-looking ones. These two are too ugly. Besides, my old aunt has been driving the car for seven or eight years, and she hasn't seen any problems."

Lin Weimin said something, and Han Zhuangzhuang retorted. He was so angry that he wanted to go up and kick him.

She's not good-looking, but she's still a beauty.

Now that the children are older, they are no longer easy to manage, unlike in the past when they were fooled and fooled.

The two argued for a long time, and finally compromised and chose a Toyota Camry, which later became the Camry.

These days, Toyota's main exports of sedans to China are Camry and Crown models, with high and low configurations, with Camry focusing on the mid-level sedan market.

The price is tens of thousands of yuan cheaper than the Crown, and tens of thousands of yuan more expensive than the Santana and Jetta.

There was no installment payment at this time. After paying more than 200,000 yuan for the car, Han Zhuangzhuang shivered with distress.

"What am I talking about? Just buy a Santana. It has to be a success. Does it feel bad?"

“Money is for you bastard, if you lose it, we’ll make it again!”

Han Zhuangzhuang was heartbroken but very confident. Over the years, he and Yin Geli had saved a lot of property. They owned two courtyard houses and a residential building next to the Third Ring Road. They had a deposit of more than 300,000 yuan and put it in the ninth house. In the 1900s, this belonged to a wealthy family.

After a while, the 300,000 yuan for starring in "Farewell My Concubine" will also arrive. This is his confidence.

After spending the whole morning getting the license plate, Han Zhuangzhuangfei pulled Lin Weimin into his car.

Lin Weimin understood Han Zhuangzhuang's mood very well, but it was impossible for him to sit in the co-pilot of this kid.

A newbie on the road + co-pilot, Lin Weimin didn't want his daughter to lose her father right after she was born.

No need, really no need.

That night, Han Zhuangzhuang hosted a sumptuous dinner at home to celebrate his new car. He was very happy.

Han Dingbang couldn't help cursing when he saw his son getting carried away.

"Okay, I bought everything. You scold him just like you scold me." Lin Weimin said depressedly.

The old man did not scold his son in front of him, but scolded him in front of him. Lin Weimin seriously suspected that the old comrade was criticizing Sang and Huai.

In the evening, Han Zhuangzhuang, who was happy after drinking, took his family to experience his beauty.

Han Zhuangzhuang drank too much, so he definitely couldn't drive. He just got in the car to feel the feelings.

Han Dingbang was picky, and when he got in the car, he looked left and right, but he couldn't help but smile a little bit on his face.

Lin Weimin saw his expression in his eyes. This man always likes to tell the truth.

After the family dinner, Lin Weimin and his family left.

Han Zhuangzhuang was leaning on the sofa, his eyes dim and drunk, and he said to Yin Geli, smelling of alcohol, "It would be great if this car could drive to Austria."

Yin Geli's home country, Austria, is located in Central Europe and is one of the developed countries with the highest per capita GDP in the world. The two of them went back to Austria the year she married Han Zhuangzhuang.

Feeling the material gap between the two countries, Han Zhuangzhuang always felt a debt of gratitude to Yin Geli.

Yin Geli sat next to Han Zhuangzhuang and held his hand, "My life now is the happiest."

It has been almost a month since the Contemporary Popular Literature Seminar. Ever since Li Xin was given temporary responsibility for the Tongwen Society when his daughter was born, Lin Weimin has not paid attention to the Tongwen Society for a long time. The work in the society is still Hosted by Li Xin.

Li Xin is nominally the vice president, but in fact he is already doing the work of the president. This situation makes many colleagues of the Chinese Literature Society envious and jealous.

Six months ago, Li Xin was just the director of the Contemporary Literature Department. He went to the distribution department to become a Tongwen publisher. Everyone didn't pay attention to him at first, but looking at the current situation, Lin Weimin wanted to train him to become a Tongwen publisher. The successor of the society!

Although Tongwen Society is only a subsidiary club, the treatment of this subsidiary club in Guowen Society is not ordinary. It is very independent. It will not be surprising to everyone that it will become independent in the future.

As the head of the Tongwen Society, it is not uncommon to be given the position of vice president of the Chinese Literature Society!

The vice president has a mother-in-law above him, and the editor-in-chief and secretary have to make their jobs a little more difficult from time to time. How can it be as satisfying as being the head of the Tongwen Society? This is a prince.

Li Xin didn't care what outsiders thought, and he couldn't control it.

Teacher Lin did not ask about the Tongwen Society for more than a month. In the eyes of others, this may be a very happy thing for him, but in fact, only he knows that he is walking on thin ice these days.

From editor-in-chief to vice-president, and then to presiding over the work of the publishing house, he completed the journey that others took ten years to complete in two or three months, but this does not mean that his ability is outstanding.

On the contrary, the more Li Xin worked, the more he felt unsure. Teacher Lin had kept Tongwen Social in his hands for more than a month, but he had not achieved any results yet. Li Xin kept silent and was very anxious.

The two editors he hired from "Woodpecker", Special Affairs Special Office, have been on the job for a month and are currently working hard to collect and edit manuscripts.

"This manuscript can be finished next week, and the other one will have to be finished next week."

Faced with Li Xin's urging for manuscripts, the newly hired He Lifeng was also under a lot of pressure. He and another colleague were poached by Li Xin to Tongwen News Agency. Before they could get used to it, they were already forced into work by Li Xin. , the workload is immediately full.

"Okay, I will definitely have to be a little busy at work at the beginning. After a while, the work will be smoothed out and I will be in the state."

After finishing the manuscript, Li Xin did not forget to comfort He Lifeng.

Back in the office, he sorted out the recent work results of the publishing house, got up and went to Lin Weimin's office.

If the leader can safely hand over the work to himself, that is the trust of the leader. It does not mean that you can take the leader for granted and not even report the work.

"teacher LIN!"

Li Xin knocked on the door and entered the office.

When Lin Weimin saw him, he put down the pen in his hand, with a smile on his face, "Sit down. How are you? You've been busy lately, haven't you?"

"I'm busy, but I'm just working hard in the direction you planned. It's hard work but not hard work."

Li Xin sat down, said a few polite words, and reported to Lin Weimin about his recent work.

Martial arts literature has been the top priority of Tongwenshe's business development for more than a year. Since January this year, Jin Yong's collection of works has continued to sell more than 3.6 million copies, with a cumulative sales of more than 21 million copies; Liang Yusheng's collection of works has sold 2.6 million copies. More than 10,000 copies, with a cumulative sales of more than 6 million copies; Huang Ying's collection of works has sold more than 1.4 million copies, with a cumulative sales of nearly 3.5 million copies; Wen Rui'an's "Buyi Gods" series has sold more than 900,000 copies, with a cumulative sales of more than 1.4 million copies Huang Yi's collection of works has sold more than 1.2 million copies, and the cumulative sales have exceeded 2.6 million copies. To break it down, Tongwen Society has sold nearly 10 million copies of martial arts novels alone in the past five months.

As for the magazine "Kyushu Heroes", the sales of "No. 1 in the World" have been rising during the serialization period. The fifth issue of 1992, when the novel was completed, has achieved a terrifying sales volume of more than 3.9 million copies so far.

It is expected that after the completion of "Number One in the World", the sales of "Heroes of Kyushu" will definitely fall. The sixth issue of the magazine has not yet been released, so Li Xin cannot be sure. He has only fine-tuned the first printing quantity of this issue.

"Heroes of Kyushu" released five issues this year, with the highest sales volume of 3.9 million copies, and the cumulative sales volume reached 14.6 million copies. The sales of magazines such as "Legends of Modern Times" and "Wulin" have fallen in the past two years, sometimes even less than 2 million copies. "Heroes of Kyushu", a new publication less than a year old, has successfully become the "first brother of martial arts" in the field of domestic popular literature.

"In addition, four martial arts novels serialized in "Heroes of Kyushu" including "The Best in the World" and "The Romantic Beggar" will be published and launched this month, with first printing volumes ranging from 300,000 to 50,000. It will still be distributed by Xinhua Bookstore."

"In terms of officialdom literature and criminal investigation literature, there are currently four works being edited and reviewed, which will be published one after another by mid-August. This is a new attempt for Tongwenshe, and I plan to set a relatively conservative first print date. interval."

"I am contacting Yi Shu, Qiong Yao, Gu Long, Sima Ling, Wo Longsheng and other popular literature writers in Xiangjiang and Wandao to try to obtain authorization for their works."

"In general, in the past five months of this year, the publication price of our company has exceeded 74 million yuan, and it should not be a problem to exceed 180 million yuan by the end of the year."

After Li Xin reported the work results and future plans of Tongwen Society during this period, he looked at Lin Weimin quietly.

"Well, the development momentum in the first half of the year is still good."

Lin Weimin praised him, and Li Xin was just about to relax when he heard him continue: "But there are a few issues that deserve vigilance."

Li Xin couldn't help but sit upright and listen carefully to Lin Weimin's next words.

"One problem is the sales of "Heroes of Kyushu". It is gratifying to achieve such results, but we must grasp the quality of subsequent works. A drop in sales is not terrible, but a failure to recover is terrible."

"The sales of martial arts novels mainly rely on last year's works. Judging from the data, the sales of this batch of works last year were still good, but as time goes by, sales decline is inevitable, and new publications must be added as soon as possible.

It’s good that you contact writers in Xiangjiang and Wandao in advance to prepare for a rainy day. "

"Ma Yang is just pricing. We cannot be narcotized by Ma Yang's appearance. What we want to see is the real net profit."

Lin Weimin said several things in succession, and Li Xin broke out in a cold sweat. Whether Teacher Lin meant it or not, these words sounded like criticism to him, because almost all of them were from Teacher Lin who had been in power for more than a year. The results achieved have nothing to do with him.

He could use the excuse that he was late at work, but he didn't think that was meaningful.

The Tongwen Society was handed over to him under a good situation. He had to make results as soon as possible to earn Teacher Lin's trust.
