Entertainment, I really only know a little

Chapter 8 I’m really not a middleman.
"Editor-in-Chief, I found a good idea."

"Jingbin, what's a good seedling?"

"Editor-in-Chief, please read this."

After communicating with Chen Yi, Wang Jingbin came to the editor-in-chief's office with "Peanuts" in hand.

"peanut?"

The editor-in-chief didn't take it seriously at first, and while reading it, he said, "The writing looks very simple."

just.

After reading the whole article.

The editor-in-chief looked at Wang Jingbin, and then read it again seriously.

"Peanuts, good. This article is peanuts, well written."

As the editor-in-chief of the literary journal.

How wicked his eyes were.

It is not so easy to write gorgeously in prose.

But on the contrary.

Prose is expressed in a simple way, which is sometimes more difficult than writing gorgeously.

It is precisely this piece of "Peanuts" that uses simple techniques to express a great truth that everyone can understand.

So.

Don't underestimate this, it's just an essay of less than 1000 words.

But in this prose of less than 1000 words, every word is worth a fortune.

"Jingbin, what's the price you're paying for this essay?"

"2000 yuan for a thousand words. Although it is less than 1000 words, I still gave 2000 yuan."

"Two thousand words for a thousand words is a little less."

"Editor-in-Chief, it's not that I don't have enough authority. I'm just about to apply to you to see if you can raise the price later."

"There is no problem with raising prices. By the way, who did you say wrote this essay?"

Done.

The editor-in-chief shook his head: "No, no."

Be the editor-in-chief.

There are many good people in the literary newspaper, so he naturally knows about them.

And some well-known writers contacted his editor directly.

Wang Jingbin is more in touch with new writers or middle- and upper-class writers.

but.

It is difficult for an article like this to appear in the hands of some new authors or some middle- and upper-class writers.

in his eyes.

Such an article is more likely to be written by those masters.

Even those masters can only write such articles when their inspiration is extremely explosive.

"Just now you said you found a good prospect, why don't you tell me that this is an article written by a new author?"

"Editor-in-Chief, you guessed it right."

Wang Jingbin nodded: "It was written by a new author. This author is still a student and is currently a sophomore in the Chinese Department of Bauhinia University."

"A sophomore student in the Chinese Department?"

The editor-in-chief was stunned for a moment, then patted the table gently: "It's amazing, it's amazing. A sophomore student in the Chinese Department can write such an article. It's like the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Hey, Jingbin, it seems you are also from Bauhinia University. of."

"Editor-in-Chief, yes, this author is my junior brother."

"Not bad. In this way, Jingbin, if the next time you receive an article from this classmate, the quality can still be as good as this "Peanut", even if it is slightly worse, you can give him a price of 3000 words per thousand words. "

"That's great. I'd like to thank the editor on behalf of Chen Yi."

There is some excitement in my heart.

Walking out of the editor-in-chief's office, Wang Jingbin was about to tell Chen Yi the good news.

At this time.

I got a call from my old classmate "Xie Wen" who contacted me a few days ago.

"Xiao Xie, what's going on?"

"Old Wang, I was in a hurry to go to class a few days ago, and I almost forgot something."

"what's up?"

"Um, have you chatted with Chen Yi on WeChat?"

"Added it, I added it as soon as you said it, and he just sent me an article."

"Oh, this guy writes pretty fast. How much did you give him? I forgot to tell you that he wrote an essay before. I accepted it in your name for 500 words per thousand words. You give it to him. The asking price cannot be too low.”

"500 thousand words?"

"Yeah, why, is 500 characters too high? Old Wang, you are not mean enough. I know his level, and his writing skills are still very good. Even if he does not reach 500 characters, I guess it is about the same. You are still his senior brother, no matter what, you have to take care of him." "Uh...I mean, which prose was he writing before?"

"Forgot to send it to you, wait..."

hang up the phone.

Teacher Xiao Xie sent Chen Yi's "Ivy's Feet" which he had written before.

Because the entire article was not long, Teacher Xiao Xie did not send it to Wang Jingbin’s email address, but sent it directly to his WeChat account.

"No, this is it."

"Let me see."

Wang Jingbin didn't say much.

After a while, Wang Jingbin replied with a message: "Xiao Xie, do you know I just accepted an article from him, and what is the price?"

"How many?"

"Fifty thousand words."

"What……"

Xiao Xie's eyes widened: "Two thousand words for a thousand words?"

"Correct."

"You didn't lie to me?"

"What did I lie to you for?"

"Is your literary newspaper so rich?"

"I'll go, this has nothing to do with money, the main thing is that the article is well written."

"Uh……"

Teacher Xiao Xie touched his head and asked weakly again: "What's your price for "The Feet of the Creeper"?"

"It's also 2000 words per thousand."

"I go……"

Hearing this answer, Xiao Xie couldn't hold it any longer: "This, this, this, is the price too high?"

"Haha, Xiao Xie, you have been teaching in school these past few years and haven't written much. You don't know how much an excellent essay costs. Just now I asked our editor for advice, and our editor said that if Chen If the quality of Mr. Yi's next manuscript can be as good as this, I agree to give it a price of 3000 words per thousand words."

"Don't tell me, this article can be 3000 words long."

"you can say it this way."

Of course.

Comparatively speaking, "Ivy's Feet" is slightly weaker than "Peanuts" in terms of concept.

but.

Both manuscripts are excellent works, whether they are 2000 words per thousand words or 3000 words per thousand words, there is no problem.

"I……"

"what happened to you?"

Wang Jingbin made a sinister smile.

Of course he knew how Teacher Xiao Xie was feeling at this moment.

"Go away, you're gloating about your misfortune, right? Fortunately, I introduced classmate Chen Yi to you."

"No no."

"Then how to solve this problem? I told classmate Chen Yi before that "The Feet of the Creeper" is only worth 500 yuan per thousand words."

"Actually, it's nothing. After all, Chen Yi didn't send this article to me directly, but through your relationship. This means that you are a middleman, and the middleman will naturally make a profit..."

While talking, Wang Jingbin showed another evil smile.

"roll……"

He cursed at Wang Jingbin from afar. Teacher Xiao Xie didn't want to talk to him anymore.

just.

Say so.

Teacher Xiao Xie also has a headache now.

Thousand words 500.

Thousand words 2000.

That's a huge difference.

How to explain to classmate Chen Yi?

Could it be that, sorry, Mr. Xie, I, the middleman, really made a profit from your price difference?
No, no.

I am an excellent people's teacher, how could I do such a thing?

I want to become a famous teacher.
