2003: The Opening Sniper Against the Financial Tycoon

"You're the one I've been looking for."

After Qin Hanyang finished speaking, he explained, "Nowadays, the market is full of long novels, and young people are becoming increasingly impetuous and can't concentrate on reading them at all."

So I thought I'd compile a collection of essays and personal reflections, with individual stories also possible. The length doesn't need to be too long, and I think Mr. Tiesheng would be particularly suitable for this.

"I often say that my main job is being sick, and my side job is writing. I am truly honored to receive your kind words."

Upon hearing this, Shi Tiesheng felt deeply grateful and moved.

"It's not an honor, but rather something that you, Mr. Shi Tiesheng, deserve. The love and strength conveyed in your writing are invaluable to young people."

Qin Hanyang wasn't flattering him; he was speaking from the heart.

He especially loved Shi Tiesheng's writing.

Compared to some domestic writers, their writing style is more documentary, and their works are full of heaviness and suffering.

Even taking "Ordinary World" as an example, it is entirely a glorification of suffering. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it is the Chinese version of "How the Steel Was Tempered". It is so frustrating to watch.

On the contrary, perhaps precisely because of his own disability, Shi Tiesheng's writing is full of hope and vitality.

It doesn't make people feel too depressed or uncomfortable after watching it.

In his view, as long as it is operated properly.

Shi Tiesheng's works are fully capable of becoming market hits.

Qin Hanyang was well aware of the tricks involved. The fact that Yu Hua's "To Live" remained a hit for more than 20 years was inseparable from the publisher's overwhelming soft marketing and various operations.

Even Han Han and Guo Jingming, who became hugely popular this year, are inseparable from the driving forces behind them.

We still live in an era where written language thrives.

Since Qin Hanyang has already established a media company and built a team, and he himself is considered a semi-writer because of writing "Tomb Raiders".

Then going down the publishing route is not out of the question.

Shi Tiesheng was deeply moved by Qin Hanyang's flattery.

He kept saying "thank you" repeatedly.

Qin Hanyang pressed on, saying, "In addition, we also charge royalties according to normal market standards."

Teacher Tiesheng can choose between two options: buyout and royalty.

The first option is to offer you a one-time, permanent buyout of the copyright for 20 yuan.

As for the second revenue-sharing rate, we can offer you 5%.

"So many? Really?"

Even more surprised than Shi Tiesheng was his wife, Chen Ximi.

She knew her family's predicament better than anyone else.

Five years ago, Shi Tiesheng, already disabled, was even diagnosed with uremia and needed frequent dialysis to stay alive.

Given his status as a writer at the time, the expenses were covered by the Writers' Association and the government.

However, only the dialysis fee was waived.

Other expenses such as food, clothing, daily necessities, and even medicine are still covered by the family.

Although Shi Tiesheng occasionally had articles published, the royalties were still pitifully small.

Their lives would have been even more difficult without the help of some other friends.

The terms Qin Hanyang offered them were like a windfall to them.

"real."

After saying that, Qin Hanyang took out 10,000 yuan from his person.

Knowing that Shi Tiesheng's family was currently facing difficulties, he entrusted the task to Chen Ximi.

"This 10,000 yuan is a deposit. Mr. Tiesheng, you can consider it. We welcome any type of cooperation you choose."

To be honest, I plan to promote your collection extensively in the future, so the royalties I'm offering you are fairly standard by industry standards, not particularly high.

Qin Hanyang couldn't bear to take too much harm out of this writer.

Although 200,000 yuan is a huge sum of money, if you actually take it, you'll really lose a fortune!

Of course, Shi Tiesheng also did not enjoy a good life in his previous life. It was only after his death that his works were compiled into a collection and published, becoming a huge hit.

Qin Hanyang has simply brought this step forward.

Shi Tiesheng already had a choice in mind. He said directly, "No need to consider it anymore, I'll choose royalty sharing. Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Mr. Qin."

"Okay, I'll have this person bring the contract over later. Mr. Tiesheng, you and your wife can take a look at the contents of the book first."

After finishing their conversation, Qin Hanyang and Shi Tiesheng didn't chat for long and quickly took their leave.

On the way out, Qin Hanyang gave Chen Xiaohong some instructions:

"The task of promoting Mr. Shi Tiesheng's new book will be entrusted to you."

His marketing highlights revolve around this point—a mentor to young people.

"I'm going to challenge Guo Jingming and Han Han next year!"

"No problem, boss!"

Chen Xiaohong had a keen sense for this kind of thing and knew Qin Hanyang's plans. "By the way, boss, which publishing house will we be collaborating with?"

"Cooperation? Who said we were going to cooperate?"

Qin Hanyang frowned and said, "The writer I painstakingly found, of course I'll contact the printing press and handle the printing myself!"

Chen Xiaohong, who was standing nearby, asked, "Uh... Boss, do you have a publication number?"

"no."

Qin Hanyang shook his head, but his expression was somewhat indifferent.

At this moment, Tang Lin seemed to have a premonition. Her heart tightened, and she looked up to meet Qin Hanyang's gaze.

Qin Hanyang looked at her and smiled slightly: "Miss Tang, could you please help me resolve the publication number issue?"

"Feel sorry."

Tang Lin shook her head: "As far as I know, publication numbers have become difficult to obtain several years ago due to tightened policies. I'm sorry, I can't help you with that."

"Your lack of ability doesn't mean that President Tang lacks ability."

Qin Hanyang was not giving up and offered a suggestion: "Jiangcheng is the Tang family's stronghold. You can register a unit there first and then apply for other benefits gradually."

Tang Lin was astonished upon hearing this: "How do you know all these procedures so well?"

"You don't need to worry about that."

Qin Hanyang did not answer, but Tang Lin continued to decline.

"This is your personal matter, and there's nothing we can do for you."

"Personal matters? Who do you think I'm doing this for? Isn't it all for you?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Hanyang raised his voice and said, "If your Tang family had managed to establish some internal propaganda channels earlier, would you be in such a passive situation now?"

Those who have profited immensely in traditional industries through shady means are short-sighted and fail to capitalize on the opportunities presented by emerging industries, making their eventual elimination inevitable.

"You...you've gone too far!"

Hearing Qin Hanyang's direct criticism, Tang Lin was at a loss for words.

"Hehe, there are some harsher words out there, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to handle them if I said them."

Qin Hanyang knew that the Delong Group only had about half a year left to live, and he could only keep this truth to himself.

But it is precisely for this reason that he is now like a sheep being fleeced.

Try to use the Tang family's reputation to handle the difficult parts that require connections and networks.

"You should know that if I go to President Tang about something like this, he won't refuse me at all."

After Qin Hanyang finished speaking, his expression immediately changed. He looked at Tang Lin with a coaxing smile and said, "Alright, you've finished being childish. Go and get on with it, okay?"

"..."

Tang Lin didn't say anything, but just glared at him angrily, snorted, and went back alone.

Seeing this, Chen Xiaohong asked, "Boss, why does this Miss Tang seem a little disobedient?"

"That's why I said she can only be considered half an employee."

Having learned from his previous experience, Qin Hanyang was quite reassured.

He knew Tang Lin would handle the matter well.

Chen Xiaohong grinned lewdly and said, "Hehe, I think you'll be obedient after a few more training sessions."
