Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 71 Two pieces of good news!

"You are actually Mr. Jin Guliang??"

After repeated confirmations, Zhao Xinchen still couldn't believe his eyes.

In his eyes, such a sophisticated writing style should be written by an old man in his forties or fifties. How come it was written by this student?

You know, he looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Mr. Zhao?" Bao Guowei thought the other party's appearance was a bit funny, and then joked. "Mr. Zhao, do you want to go into the house to discuss it in detail? Or do you want to go back and confirm?"

"Come in! Come in! Come in now!"

When Zhao Xinchen saw the other party's magnanimous demeanor, he immediately believed him and entered the room with his hands in hand.

As soon as he walked into the house, the environment inside made him frown a little. There was a damp musty smell in the air, and even the door was too small to look like.

But he turned to look at Bao Guowei, his eyebrows and eyes were still neither humble nor arrogant, showing no signs of inferiority at all.

Young genius?

This term immediately came to mind, which was never uncommon in the Republic of China.

When he sat down and took a sip of Baofu's special large bowl of rough tea, Zhao Xinchen suddenly felt very energetic.

After chatting with the other party for a few more words, he soon completely believed in Bao Guowei's identity and couldn't help but sigh.

"What a talented young man! He can write such a story at such a young age. In time, he will become a great writer!"

Bao Guowei smiled slightly and said: "It's just some market novels, it can't reach the level of elegance."

This is true. Today, the domestic literary world still has prejudices against popular novels such as romances, martial arts, and so on.

The influence of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" among the people in Hangzhou has begun to ferment, but the literary world cannot make any waves.

"Eh~" Zhao Xinchen waved his hand, obviously not thinking so. "The benefits of elegance and elegance, the benefits of being vulgar, literature is not just the exclusive property of those scholars, the common people can also get comfort from it!"

The two of them were polite, and Bao Guowei got straight to the point and asked, "I have already received the royalties. What is this time, sir?"

There was obviously something strange about his sudden visit.

"Aren't you here specifically to meet Mr. Jin Guliang? Our magazine hopes to publish subsequent manuscripts."

Zhao Xinchen was a little embarrassed. With the quality of the other party's manuscript, it could even be submitted to some first-line newspapers in the Shanghai stock market.

He seemed to have no confidence, and he immediately added.

"We can increase the manuscript fee to ten yuan per thousand words, that's not a problem. In addition, you also know that "Red Rose" is not just a publication in Hangzhou, Shanghai is the headquarters. After it is reprinted in the headquarters magazine, it will also provide you with With additional royalties, of course the price for reprinting will be lower, about six yuan per thousand words.”

Seeing that the other party's attitude was very good, Bao Guowei also saved himself the trouble. He just thought about it, this price is probably the limit of the magazine today, so he agreed and said, "I have no objection."

Zhao Xinchen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as if a big stone had fallen from his heart.

But he still said it expectantly.

"May I ask, sir, how many manuscripts are there?"

Although I feel it is a bit strange to call the student in front of me sir.

But no matter where the hero comes from, the other party already has this qualification based on this novel.

"About hundreds of thousands."

"really?!!"

Zhao Xinchen seemed extremely excited, so that the newspaper's follow-up plan could be fully implemented!

Without hesitation, he immediately took out a wad of banknotes from his bag and said: "Then let's pay the manuscript fee immediately and deliver the manuscript now!!"

Seeing that the other party took out the royalties so readily, Bao Guowei's eyes went straight when he saw the stack of money.

"What the hell?"

Without further delay, he immediately went to pick up the manuscript.

With one hand handing over the money and the other hand delivering the manuscript, both parties reaped the joy. Zhao Xinchen sees a bright future for Red Rose Magazine.

Bao Guowei saw his big house.

"Then I'll take my leave." When he was leaving, Zhao Xinchen remembered and asked. "You haven't asked Mr. his name yet?"

Thinking that it would be a matter of time before he was recognized in Hangzhou, Bao Guowei answered truthfully: "My surname is Bao, my first name is Guowei, my courtesy name is Bingwen."

"Bao Guowei!!" Zhao Xinchen screamed, subconsciously grabbing the other person's arm and saying. "Are you Bao Guowei? Mr. Taiyan's disciple."

"No wonder, no wonder." He said with emotion.

"what happened?"

Bao Guowei felt a little unsure, could he be Zhang Taiyan's friend again?

To be honest, he has met countless old friends of Mr. Zhang in these days, and he can't help but sigh at how extensive this old man's connections are!

"I heard about the cultural gathering on the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month a few days ago. Bingwen, you made Xu Ziyi disgraced by your argument!" When talking about this, Zhao Xinchen actually smiled happily.

Bao Guowei couldn't help but feel a little strange: "What? Sir, you have a grudge against this person?"

Zhao Xinchen said angrily: "This man is usually very arrogant and domineering in the Hangzhou literary world. He even published an article to slander our magazine before. I went to argue with him, and he actually asked the guard to kick me out! It's so disgusting! This time Bingwen, you have helped me get rid of my bad temper!"

"This Xu Ziyi is a master who is not easy to mess with." Bao Guowei could already imagine that the other party rushed to Xu Ziyi's office, and his anxious look was actually a bit funny.

"This guy has a very deep background, and he will retaliate for his anger. Bingwen, you should be more careful." Zhao Xinchen reminded him hurriedly.

Then he slapped his forehead.

"Hey, what am I worried about? Bing Wenqi's mentor is Mr. Taiyan."

Bao Guowei smiled and followed him to the door, not forgetting to remind him.

"There is one thing I want to ask Editor Zhao about. This is about me being Jin Guliang. Please don't tell my mentor."

"It's natural. It's common for celebrities not to reveal their true identity. Our magazine will definitely keep it a secret for you."

Zhao Xinchen immediately figured out the reason.

Zhang Taiyan is a master of orthodox Chinese studies. He may not be happy with these "deviant" popular novels. It is normal for this apprentice to want to hide it.

After sending the other party out, Bao Guowei returned to the house.

Speaking of hiding his identity, he couldn't help but think of Brother Xun, who was called "the man with the most vests in the world" by some later generations.

I don’t know if Brother Xun is the person with the most vests in the world.

But Bao Guowei knew that during the Republic of China, it had always been very common for literati to wear various vests in order to avoid certain dangers, and Brother Xun was one of the best.

Zishu, Xunxing, Runiu, Ziming.

According to statistics, there must be at least 180 vests.

Shift your focus to money.

He had about 800 yuan in his arms, but he didn't count it in detail. After reprinting it in the main magazine of "Red Rose", there would be another income, maybe 300 to 400 yuan.

The feeling of suddenly becoming rich is really wonderful!

So I sat down at the table again and continued writing.

Every word of this is money!

When Bao Guowei had written about four thousand words, Lao Bao came back.

He was also holding a roast chicken in his hand, this time it was a complete one. His face looked unusually excited, and he ran in and said excitedly.

"Guowei! Guowei! Good news!"

Hearing Lao Bao's voice, Bao Guowei also stood up to greet him, and he also said.

"Dad, please slow down, I have good news here too!"
