Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 172 Dong Qiushi: Comrade Chaoyang, please make a price!
The editor of Shanghai Children's Literature and Art Magazine came with Qiao Yan, the reporter from the archaeological team.

I tried my best before but got stuck at the Oriental Editorial Publishing House in the county.

In the end, there was no choice but to start elsewhere.

Fortunately, the tiger incident here was once again reported in the newspaper a few days ago, and the person who reported it was Qiao Yan.

The editor of a Shanghai children's literary magazine got curious and looked for the tiger hunting report in the previous edition, and saw Song Chaoyang's name.

Originally, there were quite a lot of people named Chaoyang these days, but this address was in the same county. Based on the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse, the editor contacted Qiao Yan.

As a result, the other party immediately confirmed that the tiger fighting hero Song Chaoyang in the report was the Song Chaoyang who wrote the novel that he had found.

Now the editor couldn't believe it.

He originally thought he couldn't be contacted, but he didn't expect that a dead horse was used as a living horse doctor, which really gave him a surprise.

No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to find anything, and it takes no effort to get there!

Song Chaoyang also made a pool next to the well, with some fruits frozen in it.

Hearing this, Song Chaoyang was still slightly moved.

"Ahem... Comrade Qiao Yan, the adaptation requires layer-by-layer selection, which is not easy." Dong Qiushi couldn't help but remind Qiao Yan at this time.

Song Chaoyang had already known these things in his precognitive dream, and he did not show any excitement.

Feeling the coolness in the room, Dong Qiushi, who came from a big city, couldn't help but look at the mountains in the distance and sighed:

The imported radar watch on her wrist shines in dazzling silver.

"Let's enter the house first."

"It can be said to be a pioneer in children's literature, telling stories in a new way."

"Comrade Song Chaoyang, I have had such a hard time finding you."

"Comrade Chaoyang, this place is great. It feels like picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the Nanshan Mountains."

Song Chaoyang was a little overwhelmed by this guy's enthusiasm.

"After we tried our best to read your works, we finally understood why we could be registered."

"No wonder I can't write a work like "Calabash Brothers". This mountain courtyard can indeed give people a lot of inspiration."

Then she introduced the editor to Song Chaoyang:
"This is Comrade Dong Qiushi, the editor of Shanghai Children's Literature and Art Magazine."

But at this time, he was extremely excited. He walked up to Song Chaoyang in two steps, then stretched out his hand and held Song Chaoyang's hands tightly and said:

He forcefully pulled his hands out of Dong Qiushi's sweaty hands, and then pointed to his home:

"If we could adapt children's literature into an animated film, we would be famous across the country."

Seeing him like this, Qiao Yan on the side became anxious and reminded Song Chaoyang, a "country bumpkin":

Qiao Yan, who brought Dong Qiushi here, also followed closely behind.

This time I entered the courtyard of Song Chaoyang's house and felt that it was really nice here.

Without being polite, he followed Song Chaoyang into the small courtyard.

"The parent unit of Shanghai Children's Literature and Art Magazine is Shanghai Art Film Studio. The 61 color animated feature film "Havoc in Heaven" and this year's "Nezha Haohai" are all famous throughout the country."

Calabash Brothers was produced by Shanghai Art Film Studio in 86.

I didn't expect that there was such a relationship.

"Okay." Dong Qiushi nodded and agreed immediately.

They were brought to the main room and each was given a cup of tea.

First of all, a tree outside the yard provides a large area of ​​shade in the yard, and there is also a pressurized water well, which is much more advanced than the portable well in the countryside.

"So after a series of considerations, the leaders of our magazine decided to ask me to come over and contact you."

At the door of Song Chaoyang's house, Qiao Yan looked familiar and introduced to the editor who came up from Shanghai:
"This is Comrade Song Chaoyang you are looking for."

She had been to the old house of Song Chaoyang's family before, but this was the first time she came to the new house. She originally wanted to interview about the tiger hunting, but Song Chaoyang didn't give her a chance at all. After hunting the tiger that night, the next day Went to the county town early in the morning.

He just nodded slowly and said with an indifferent expression:
"Oh, I see."

Under his arm was a leather briefcase.

He didn't want Song Chaoyang to misunderstand.

Dong Qiushi withdrew his gaze from the distant mountains, fell on Song Chaoyang, and then said:

He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a well-fitting suit and leather shoes that were polished to a shiny shine.

It looks particularly eye-catching.

Dong Qiushi looks to be in his forties and is very well-dressed.

"Oh, that's right... We noticed a report in the "New Youth Daily" at that time. This was the first children's literature news in such a national newspaper, so we paid more attention to it."

Song Chaoyang didn't talk nonsense to him and asked directly:
"I wonder what Editor Dong intends to do when he comes all the way from Shanghai to see me?"

After taking the two of them to wash their hands by the pool, Song Chaoyang got them two cucumbers chilled with well water. They were very cold when they took one sip, which immediately dissipated most of the heat from the journey.

Just this appearance is different from ordinary people's.

After finishing speaking, he immediately said to Song Chaoyang:
"Of course, there is no chance."

"And our publishing house is in urgent need of novels like yours, Comrade Chaoyang, that break the rules."

"As long as you have similar novels that you want to publish, our Shanghai Children's Literature Magazine can give you a higher and bigger stage."

"You also heard from Comrade Qiao Yan just now that our superior unit said it is easy to enjoy the shade under the big trees."

"We have more channels, a bigger market, better returns, and harder publicity, which can help your work reach a new level and provide you with greater fame and wealth than you currently have." The value of your life.”

At this point, he paused, and then asked Song Chaoyang:

"As far as I know, Comrade Chaoyang is less than 20 this year, right?"

"Aileen once said that you should become famous as early as possible."

"I have read your article and I think you have the ability."

Dong Qiushi paid attention to Song Chaoyang's expression as he spoke.

Originally, he thought Song Chaoyang would be very moved.

Unexpectedly, Song Chaoyang acted very calm throughout the whole process, except for his expression of surprise when he heard about their superior unit.

No matter how inflammatory he said, he didn't seem to have much emotional fluctuations.

Song Chaoyang's behavior was completely unlike that of a young man in the valley who had never seen much of the world.

He didn't know that Song Chaoyang was a man in two lives. In his previous life, he was tired of eating such painted cakes.

He had seen too many ways of drawing pie, so he seemed a little uninterested.

Dong Qiushi never said what specific benefits he could bring, and Song Chaoyang had no intention of accepting the move.

Who doesn’t know how to draw a pie?

For Song Chaoyang, it can be said to be more provocative.

The better Dong Qiushi said it, the more wary Song Chaoyang became about him.

There should be quite a few subordinate units of Shanghai Art Film Studio.

I had never heard of this magazine publisher in my previous life, so I guess it wasn't a particularly awesome existence. Of course, Song Chaoyang doesn't like this now. What he wants is real money and silver, and everything else is illusory to him.

Dong Qiushi thought that Song Chaoyang had no idea what he was talking about, so he told him in detail about the prospects of being a representative.

But Song Chaoyang still acted very calmly.

Finally, after he couldn't stand Dong Qiushi's endless chatter, Song Chaoyang spoke:
"If I can produce a work of the quality of "Calabash Brothers", I don't know what kind of price you can give me."

"I want to hear more details. What you said before is too general for me."

After hearing what Song Chaoyang said, Dong Qiushi finally understood.

There were so many feelings I just said, but others didn't listen at all.

This guy doesn't let go of the rabbit before he sees it!

Dong Qiushi, who suddenly understood, really didn't expect that the people in this mountain were really different from what he thought. They had no interest in telling him about his ideals and the future.

The benefits you get are what people want.

Short-sighted?
A little bit indeed.

But he is more restrained towards people like him.

Dong Qiushi collected his thoughts for a moment, put away his exaggerated words, and said to Song Chaoyang behind Jing Ke:
"We are here with sincerity this time. Comrade Chaoyang might as well tell you the price and benefits that Oriental Publishing House will give you now."

"I'll refer to it."

He had a good idea. As long as Song Chaoyang outputs and the treatment given by Oriental Publishing House is added to this basis, he will naturally be able to get Song Chaoyang at the best price.

This is equivalent to getting the psychological price of competitors at an auction.

It's simply unfavorable.

But obviously Song Chaoyang would not make such a low-level mistake.

As soon as Dong Qiushi stuck his butt out, Song Chaoyang knew what he was going to do.

Song Chaoyang was also speechless. Are the tricks in this big city so deep?

Digging holes for yourself everywhere.

The key is that I don't see how clever it is.

Did you really underestimate him, a country bumpkin?
Song Chaoyang thought for a while and then said:
"The contract between Oriental Publishing House and me is confidential. I am not in a position to disclose it, but the house you see now was written by me."

"The first private pig farm outside the county was opened by my uncle and I."

"You can probably understand what I'm saying, right?"

"..." Dong Qiushi was dumbfounded.

I originally wanted to ask about the base price, but why did it suddenly become my own estimate?
A house plus a private pig farm?

If this were replaced by a place like Shanghai, it would cost a lot of money.

That price is way too high.

Dong Qiushi has been investigating where Song Chaoyang is these days, and indeed he has not investigated the market here.

Now Song Chaoyang threw the question to him again, making him not sure how to answer.

In this era, the regions are different, they are two worlds.

Can you believe that "Flowers" and "Mountains and Seas" describe an era?
The world is more diverse than imagined.

Dong Qiushi's mind was a bit overwhelmed at the moment, and he remained silent, thinking about how much it would cost.

Seeing that the scene fell into a brief embarrassment, Qiao Yan, who had just finished eating cucumber, opened her mouth to help Dong Qiushi and said:
"Oriental Publishing House is indeed a relatively large publishing house in the province. Of course it is very good compared with the provincial publishing house, but it is different over there in Shanghai."

After finishing speaking, he asked Dong Qiushi:
"Right, Editor Dong?"

She did this just to gain Dong Qiushi's favor. As an industry insider, she still liked Dong Qiushi's big cake.

Before Dong Qiushi could figure it out, he was interrupted by Qiao Yan.

He could only say:

"Well...that's true. I said before that I came here with sincerity, but my superiors also asked me to come up with really good articles before I can come up with them."

"That's not what you said before." Song Chaoyang raised his eyelids and said to Dong Qiushi.

"..." Dong Qiushi almost choked to death.

I went a little too far when I was pretending just now, but I didn't expect this kid to still remember it.

After Song Chaoyang took a sip of tea, he continued to say to Dong Qiushi:
"But as for the works, I do have them."

"Huh?" Dong Qiushi was startled and asked:

"You mean there are similar works that haven't been published yet?"

"That's right." Song Chaoyang nodded, then paused and said mysteriously:
"Several publishing houses have been contacting me recently, and you are the furthest one."

As soon as these words came out, Dong Qiushi was shocked.

No wonder!
No wonder this kid is so calm.

It turned out that a colleague had been here a long time ago.

Dong Qiushi suddenly understood.

But he didn't know that Song Chaoyang was just lying to him.

He hasn't written anything yet, so naturally he's not in a hurry.

If other publishing houses want to contact him, they are unlikely to give a high price to sign an unfinished article in advance.

You must know that in the general environment, there are still many people who are just messing around. Everyone does not seek to make mistakes. There are very few people like Fang Yan from Oriental Publishing House.

There are relatively few publishing houses with such courage in the mainland, except along the coast.

While Dong Qiushi was still thinking about it, Song Chaoyang had already come out with his manuscript.

On a stuffed kraft paper file bag, the words "Gourd Little King Kong" were written in pen.

Then Song Chaoyang took out a thick stack of manuscripts he had written.

Dong Qiushi's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly stretched out his hand to take it.

As a result, Song Chaoyang smiled and took out a small part of the manuscript and handed it to his hand.

At the same time he said to him:
"It's not that I'm stingy. If I show you the whole manuscript, the first one will take a long time. The second one is that if we don't sign the contract in the future, then I'll be sorry to the publisher behind."

Dong Qiushi was a little embarrassed, this guy was teasing him openly or covertly.

But it was hard to say anything, so I just nodded:
"I know, I understand, I understand."

With that said, he took the manuscript handed over by Song Chaoyang.

He pushed up his glasses and looked attentively.

After reading this, he didn't say anything. It wasn't until he finished reading that he let out a long sigh of relief.

After a little hesitation, he stuffed the manuscript directly into his briefcase.

Song Chaoyang was stunned by this scene.

What do you mean?
Start tomorrow?
After Dong Qiushi collected the manuscript, he patted the briefcase towards Song Chaoyang and said:
"Comrade Chaoyang, we want this manuscript, please give us a price!"
