1980 My literary era

These days, publishing houses like Guowenshe have overseas business, but the scale is basically negligible compared to our own. Moreover, overseas distribution is under the responsibility of the International Book Trading Corporation, and the meager foreign exchange income is not enough. If you can't get it to yourself, you can only collect RMB.

Therefore, to this day, such a large unit of the Chinese Literature Society does not even have a foreign exchange account, which is sad to say.

Lin Chunhui slapped down the 80,000-meter knife, which really shocked Lao Cheng, who had never seen the world before. He hurriedly called the financial director to bring some money.

But after the initial excitement passed, Cheng Wanchun calmed down again.

Regardless of whether it is 80,000 or 800,000, the Chinese Literature Society cannot keep it anyway, so they have to force the settlement of foreign exchange and then accept the RMB according to the official exchange rate.

He felt his heart bleed at the thought of losing so much foreign exchange.

You must know that the money spent on purchasing libraries from various countries this year was all in foreign exchange, which was approved only after he made a report. The Chinese Literature Society has a fixed foreign exchange quota of 18,000 yuan every year, and this year it has even exceeded the expenditure.

After making an appointment with Lin Chunhui to have dinner together in the evening, Cheng Wanchun sighed as they were sent away.

Lin Weimin knew him well, and of course he knew what he was worried about.

The "World Literature Masterpiece Library" is only in the editing and review stage, and there are already bosses from Wandao with rice knives who have spent money to introduce it. If it is published, it may make great gains in overseas markets.

This overseas market includes Xiangjiang, Wandao, Haojiang and Southeast Asian countries where many Chinese people gather.

But Guowenshe didn’t even have a foreign exchange account, and the money it made was in vain, all to add glory to the Bank of China.

"Don't sigh, I think this matter can be discussed. If we really earn foreign exchange for the country, let's talk to the boss about opening an account and leaving some money for us in proportion!"

These days, many state-owned enterprises can retain part of their foreign exchange remittances if they have overseas business. Of course, the Chinese Literature Society does not have the same trading strength as others, but it should not be difficult to open an opening to beg and plead from above.

"Lao Cheng, whether you can keep this foreign exchange depends on whether you are thick-skinned enough!"

Cheng Wuchun glared at Lin Weimin, "If you don't know how to speak, don't speak."

Forget it, let’s go for a run.

Looking at today's situation, maybe the "World Literature Masterpiece Library" series of books can really be a big satellite for the Chinese Literature Society. If a sum of foreign exchange comes from time to time in the future, but it has to be forced to settle, that would be like using a knife to cut him out. What's the difference between the meat?

Moreover, it was still a blunt knife that stabbed the flesh, which would cause him pain from time to time.

The news that the big boss of Youwan Island came to the Chinese Literature Society with a rice knife to buy the copyright of "World Literature Masterpiece Library" spread throughout the Chinese Literature Society in just one hour, and immediately topped the top 1 trending search of the Chinese Literature Society today, including "Lin Weimin" News of winning the Strega Literary Prize" was suppressed.

"It's amazing. He came to the door with a rice knife. I have been in the Chinese Literature Society for half my life. This is the first time I have seen this kind of thing!"

"Who says it's not the case? It all sounds nonsense, but it really happened. Lin Weimin still has some trouble!"

"Hey, at the beginning of the year, many people said it was a 'great success', but this time it's a slap in the face."

"I heard that the copyright fee alone is US$160,000. Is it true?"

"It should be true. It said it was given in three installments. This was the first time, 80,000 yuan, and then twice, 40,000 yuan each time."

"It's really amazing. I never thought that our Chinese Literature Society would one day be able to earn foreign exchange!"

The fact that Lin Chunhui came to the door with a rice knife to ask for copyright was not only shocking, but also dramatic, which made colleagues enjoy discussing it.

It was impossible not to be jealous when the People's Society next door heard the news.

We all work in the same building, so why can you earn foreign exchange?

The news was still spreading, and in just one day, it had spread throughout Yanjing's publishing system.

When Cheng Wuchun saw that the news had spread, he got in the car and ran up to claim credit.

When he returned to the Chinese Literature Society in the evening, he showed off to Lin Weimin with a happy face.

The matter is settled.

It was promised that the Chinese language publishing house could open a foreign exchange account and retain 20% of overseas copyright income.

Lin Chunhui's copyright fee for purchasing the "World Literature Masterpiece Library" was US$160,000. In this way, from this income alone, the Chinese Literature Society was able to keep US$32,000, which was almost the entire foreign exchange limit of the Chinese Literature Society for three years.

Cheng Wanchun's joy was understandable, but Lin Weimin urged: "Hurry up and ask Lao Song to go to the bank with the documents and open an account first to deposit the money, so as to avoid long nights and dreams."

Lao Song is the director of the financial department of the club.

"It makes sense, it makes sense, you're right to remind me, let him hurry up and do it tomorrow."

After the foreign exchange matter was settled, Cheng Wanchun praised: "For the people, it seems that we made a completely correct decision by publishing the "World Literature Masterpiece Library" this time."

Lin Weimin saw that his old comrade was a little too excited, so he couldn't help but said: "Don't think too much, at best, you can only sell the copyrights of a few countries and regions, which is probably only a few hundred thousand dollars."

Cheng Wanchun did not feel depressed at all, "Isn't hundreds of thousands of dollars enough? Our Chinese Literature Society can keep 100,000 or 80,000 dollars. It will be convenient for everything in the future. Even the installation of computer printing equipment will be just around the corner." ”

The old comrades have lost all their nonsense. When the Xinhua Printing Factory installed computer printing equipment, it cost millions of dollars, and the factory director almost ran away with his pants on.

With the strength of the Chinese Literature Society, we can only achieve our wish in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

Although Lin Weimin didn't speak, how could Cheng Wanchun not understand the look in his eyes? He smiled kindly.

"Isn't this also you?"

Lin Weimin:...

The copyright of "World Literature Masterpiece Library" was sold before it was published. In any case, it is a great event for the Chinese Literature Society. The atmosphere in the society these days is full of joy.

This morning, Lin Weimin was reviewing the manuscript when he saw Yu Hua, a deer-headed rat, poking his head at the door.

"Just come in if you want. Why are you so sneaky?"

Yu Hua just came in, holding a magazine in his hand and a subtle expression on his face.

"Teacher Lin, there is a publication that I think you should read."

"Publication? Criticized the works published in the society?"

Yu Hua said nothing and handed the publication to Lin Weimin.

It turned out to be "Southern Weekend".

"Nandu Weekend" is a weekly magazine founded by Nandu Press and Media Group in 1984.

Since the 1990s, "close-up" style reportage has become popular in the domestic literary world. This creative form created by Chinese writers has attracted the attention of a large number of readers in a short period of time. Authors often use the words "City A", "Province B" "" is used to describe a vague place name, and even the protagonist of the report uses a pseudonym.

"Nandu Weekend" is the biggest beneficiary of this novel style. In the past two years, relying on the three magic weapons of "long-form serialization", "big close-up" and "original format", "Nandu Weekend" has become a dominant player in the domestic newspaper industry. The wind and water are rising, and the limelight is unparalleled for a while.

Lin Weimin is in the publishing industry and is naturally aware of the rise of "Nandu Weekend", but he is very disdainful of it.

Anyone who has seen the so-called "reportage" they play with that blurs "place names" and "person names" will be very clear about the "water" content in it.

This water is not the water of the author of the Internet article. The water of the Internet article author at least has some conscience and uses tap water. However, the water used by "Nandu Weekend" is genuine "nuclear sewage".

To describe a non-existent event vividly, to confuse right and wrong, to confuse right and wrong, and to fully realize that it is based on imagination and fabrication. It is really just a pen at the beginning, and the rest is all made up. This is the so-called "close-up" reportage.

Lin Weimin had no good impression of "Nandu Weekend", and he didn't know what Yu Hua's purpose was in bringing this publication, but he only took a glance and immediately saw information related to him.

"Lin Weimin: Not receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature is a loss for the award."

Damn it!

Seeing this title, Lin Weimin took a breath of air. Did the UC editor leave the industry thirty years in advance?

An interview article about Lin Weimin, winner of the Strega Literary Award, was published grandly on the front page of Nandu Weekend. The article was not long, about 2,000 words.

It took Lin Weimin three or four minutes to finish scanning, and he only felt a sick feeling in his heart as if he had swallowed a fly.

He didn't even have to guess, it must have been the work of a reporter who interviewed him at the airport a few days ago.

In the article, the reporter did not talk nonsense. The basic facts were still stated, but the only problem was Lin Weimin's answer to the question about the Nobel Prize in Literature.

This author directly tampered with Lin Weimin's words.

"As for the Nobel Prize in Literature, I would be lying if I said I didn't think about it. This matter is not something I can decide. Winning it is an honor, but not winning it will be their loss. So, there is no need to take it so seriously."

The difference of a few words turned his original "normal heart" into a kind of "arrogance". Coupled with the news that Lin Weimin had just won the Strega Literary Award, these four words "the villain succeeds" immediately It's so vivid on the paper.

Damn it, it’s really unfair not to be a screenwriter!

Zhao Zhengzhi and Lin Weimin stared at the signature of the article. This person should be one of the reporters who interviewed him that day, or maybe just a main writer of "Southern Weekend".

If you say you want to interview me, just do it. I am very cooperative and have no grievances. Why do you have to tamper with my speech and establish me as a villain?

Lin Weimin was a little confused. He could only think of this situation as the media's attempt to gain attention.

After all, the lower limit for southern media has never been high.

"teacher LIN!"

Yu Hua saw that Lin Weimin had been staring at the article for a while but had no reaction, so he couldn't help but call him.

Lin Weimin raised his head, his expression was calm and showed no anger at all.

"Did you buy this publication?"

"Well, I passed by a newsstand this morning and saw your front page, so I bought it to take a look. I didn't expect..."

Yu Hua wanted to speak but stopped.

Lin Weimin had a helpless smile on his face, "This reporter probably tampered with my words to gain attention."

Yu Hua was not surprised. He thought he knew Teacher Lin and knew that with his character, he would never say such a thing.

Yu Hua looked angry, "This kind of reporter is so outrageous, what the hell!"

Lin Weimin put the newspaper on the table, "In recent years, with the rapid economic development, people are focused on money and making a lot of money. Not everyone has such a thing as conscience."

"Teacher Lin, this kind of false news cannot be allowed to ferment. You have to contact the newspaper immediately and ask them to correct the news." Yu Hua reminded.

What Yu Hua said made sense, but the problem was that it was disgusting.

This report by "Nandu Weekend" contains nine truths and one falsehood. Except for the eye-catching headline and the falsification of one question, the vast majority of the content is true.

It's really not easy to deal with this situation.

But if he really let it go, Lin Weimin wouldn't be able to pass his own test.
