Reborn Tycoon Rise

Chai Wan, Hong Kong, Ming Pao headquarters.

In an office decorated in Chinese style.

Jin Yong was dealing with a pile of documents at his desk. Since he closed the book, he devoted himself to the newspaper office and was very busy.

"Dong dong." There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

After Shen Baoxin came in, he closed the door, walked to Jin Yong, and sat down directly.

He is a shareholder and veteran of the company. He and Jim Yong founded Ming Pao together, and they are close friends. Therefore, even though Jim Yong is his boss in the company, he is usually more casual.

"What's the matter?" Jin Yong raised his head and asked when he saw that his old friend was a little different from usual.

Shen Baoxin smiled and said, "The information you want has been found."

After saying that, he handed over a document.

Jin Yong took it and looked at it carefully.

"How is it?" Shen Baoxin asked.

Jin Yong seemed a little surprised by the content of the document and asked: "Are you sure? The author of The Iron-Blooded Prodigy graduated from Form 5?"

"Yes!" Shen Baoxin nodded and confirmed: "Our people have seen him appear in Huixing Daily several times, and there has been telephone contact between his home and the newspaper. It took me a lot of favors to get this from Xiangjiang Telephone Company Found it over there!”

Jin Yong said: "This is not an ironclad proof, right?"

Shen Baoxin smiled and said: "It's not about solving the case, so why do we need so much irrefutable evidence? Moreover, Delan Middle School in Kowloon seems to have been spreading rumors about the Iron-Blooded Genius before the newspaper serialized it. Xu Zhi's sister happens to be in this school."

Jin Yong nodded. So many coincidences should mean that they have found the real author of Jagged Prodigy.

Jin Yong is the chairman of the newspaper. He spends most of his time thinking about the company's strategic policies. Except for the occasional interest in reading the novels collected by his newspaper, he usually doesn't care about the following things at all.

But during a high-level meeting a few days ago, a manager reported that a newspaper in Kowloon had suddenly emerged and its sales had skyrocketed. He didn't care at first, but later he said that he had made progress through a novel, and he suddenly became interested.

After the meeting, Jin Yong arranged for his secretary to find a complete novel.

Huixing's newspapers are not something to be collected. I basically throw them away after reading them. If I think they are good, I read them a few times before throwing them away. After all, no one wants to get into trouble.

The secretary mobilized seven or eight people and ran for a long time to collect the newspapers from the first edition to the latest edition, and hurriedly handed them to the boss.

Jim Yong couldn't put it down immediately after reading it, and arranged for Shen Baoxin to investigate the author's identity.

But when he looked at the personal information in front of him, Jin Yong felt that the world seemed to have suddenly changed. When would a person with a Form 5 education be able to write wonderful novels.

Seeing Jin Yong's strange expression, Shen Baoxin smiled and said, "What's more surprising to you?"

Jin Yong asked curiously: "What else?"

Shen Baoxin replied: "This Xu Zhi actually came to our newspaper office about a month ago, but the novel was rejected because it did not meet our requirements."

After listening to Shen Baoxin's explanation, Jin Yong nodded and sighed: "What a pity!"

However, Jin Yong didn't blame those who missed the opportunity. The rules were set by the company, and the people below were just enforcing them.

Shen Baoxin asked: "Do you want to send someone to re-contact?"

Jin Yong waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, we have already rejected you. If you take the initiative to contact us again, you will be at a disadvantage. Besides, you just wrote a good short story. If you can continue to do this, then you are considered a talent." . I guess you can find information about him, and I think other media should be able to do the same. When he gets a little bit famous, if he takes the initiative to contact us, we can consider signing him. If not, you can't let you and I take the initiative. Meet him."

"Yes, I became famous at a young age, but I don't know if I can continue to write better novels?" Shen Baoxin sighed.

……………..

Jin Yong's speculation was correct. The media in Xiangjiang noticed the emerging novels. A newspaper sold thousands of copies a day. With the addition of a novel, the sales immediately increased several times. The quality of the novels gradually improved as the plot progressed. After reaching a climax and the reputation spread, even some of the old newspapers that were first published became sought-after items.

Lin Wenzhou also noticed this situation and hurriedly ordered the printing of 10,000 more copies of the previous newspaper, and the market was barely satisfied.

However, Lin Wenzhou also quickly got the information. A large number of people have begun to ask about the true identity of the author of Iron-Blooded Talent. This is not a big secret. Even within Huixing Daily, most people know Xu Zhi and really want to investigate. , can’t hide it at all.

Soon, Xu Zhi received a call from Lin Wenzhou.

"It's over!" This was Xu Zhi's first thought after receiving Lin Wenzhou's call.

It won't be really over, but don't think about peace during this period.

Knowing Xu Zhi's identity, it would be easy for a reporter with extraordinary powers to find his place of residence.

As expected, within a few hours, there was a knock on the door.

Even though he didn't want to deal with these people, Xu Zhi was still afraid that they wouldn't be able to find him and would harass his parents instead, which would be more harm than good.

"Hello, are you Xu Sheng, the author of Iron-Blooded Talent?" Xu Zhigang opened the door, and the young man outside asked with a smile.

Zhao Deyuan is a young reporter from Oriental Daily. He often covers small things in the community. His life is relaxed but boring. Just this morning, when he was about to set off, he was stopped by his leader and gave himself a task to interview a new writer and get some information.

Although he is just a new writer, he is somewhat famous, so he is also a good interview subject.

Seeing that there was only one person on the other side, Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes. Who are you?"

Being interviewed by one person actually showed that he didn't take it very seriously. Xu Zhi was a little disappointed. He didn't want to be annoyed, but whether he wanted to or not and whether he wanted to or not were two different things.

Zhao Deyuan smiled and said: "I am Zhao Deyuan, a reporter from Oriental Daily. I wonder if I can interview Xu Sheng to ask a few questions?"

Xu Zhidao: "Okay, there is a tea restaurant downstairs, let's go there!"

When I went to a tea restaurant for an interview, the quality was a bit low, but coffee shops are not popular in Kowloon and there are quite a few in Central.

"Okay." Zhao Deyuan nodded in agreement, just asking a few words, the place doesn't matter.

Tea restaurant:

The two of them each ordered a drink, and the interview began.

Zhao Deyuan: "I wonder how Xu Sheng came up with the idea of ​​writing the story of Iron-Blooded Prodigy?"

Xu Zhi: "Nothing, I just used to love reading Jin Yong Gulong's novels, and then I tried to write one myself."

Zhao Deyuan: “What are the difficulties in writing a book?”

Xu Zhi: "Fortunately, but my literary level is a bit lacking, so I just read more books more often."

…………..

Zhao Deyuan: "Last question, we already know that Iron-Blooded Talent is just a short story, the plot is not long, and it is about to end. I wonder if Xu Sheng plans to write another one?"

Xu Zhi: "There are no plans for another one at the moment, but the follow-up plot will start to be written."

Zhao Deyuan heard the news and asked: "Xu Sheng means there will be a sequel to the novel?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "No, to be precise, the current Iron-Blooded Prodigy is just a prequel, and the main novel is called (Kunlun)."
