"Hello, Teacher Lu!"
"Hello, Teacher Lu!"
"Manager Chen, Deputy Store Manager Lu, please have tea!"
"Thanks!"
"Thanks!"
"Teacher Lu, this is a letter from our boss Sun to you."
Chen Xuemei and Lu Huimin were discussing along the way, but they couldn't come up with a good way to persuade Writer Lu. They felt unsure and took out the envelope from the bag.
"Good words!"
Although no publishing house in Beijing was willing to publish the first volume of "The Road of Ordinary People", Lu Y never thought that he would hand the manuscript to the fledgling Qiming Bookstore and publish "Sun's Fountain Pen Copybook", which became popular in Jiangcheng. It was a hit, but it had no reputation in the literary world, and readers didn't buy it.
"Teacher Lu, the boss Sun of Jiangcheng Qiming Bookstore is Sun Jian, the editor of "Sun's Fountain Pen Copybook". Our boss Sun is also a calligrapher."
Chen Xuemei, who has been to the countryside, attended East China Normal University, and worked as a middle school English teacher and an English translator at Jianggang Foreign Affairs Office, is also a proud and arrogant person. She is only a few years younger than Lu Y. With a woman's intuition, she already understands what is happening in front of her. Lu Y is aloof and just perfunctory. He hit the wall the first two times and failed to do more than three things!
The resentment in his heart suddenly rose. Lu Y was a junior high school graduate and a worker, peasant, and soldier student. What was so great about him? Compared with Sun Jian, there is a huge difference!
Without the opportunity to buy out the copyright of "The Road of Ordinary People", Jiangcheng Qiming Bookstore has nothing to lose!
At that time, Qiming Bookstore chain store will not sell "The Path of Ordinary People"!
"Manager Chen, "Sun's Fountain Pen Copybook" is a good copybook. Many children of our colleagues in the editorial department are using this copybook to write."
Although Manager Chen called her husband twice, he didn't look down on Jiangcheng Qiming Bookstore at all. The third time he called to invite him, he came from afar and only agreed to meet out of politeness, cutting off the other party's thoughts.
The beautiful woman in front of her was dissatisfied with her husband's perfunctory behavior.
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward.
"Lin D, do you see this condition?"
After reading "Life", I got to know Teacher Lu, who persists in literary beliefs, local culture and rural sentiments in northern Shaanxi. Jiangcheng Qiming Bookstore is willing to invest in "The Road of Ordinary People". There are a group of extraordinary people living in the ordinary world! It is suggested that Teacher Lu should change "The Road of Ordinary People" into "The Ordinary World" and Jiangcheng Qiming Bookstore should be responsible for publishing and distributing "The Ordinary World" to make some contributions to the development of local culture in northern Shaanxi...
The writing is smooth and the words are sincere between the lines.
Ordinary world? There are a group of extraordinary people living in an ordinary world!
Good name! The meaning is profound!
Lu Y's eyes lit up, she met her soulmate!
When I saw Jiangcheng Qiming Bookstore offering to buy out the copyright of the first book, I couldn't believe my eyes.
"There are a group of extraordinary people living in the ordinary world! Lao Lu, the title of the book "The Ordinary World" is good! The manuscript fee is 100 yuan for one thousand words, and the copyright of the first part of "The Ordinary World" is bought out; according to the price of one thousand words According to the standard of one hundred yuan, 50% of the royalties are paid in advance to buy out the copyright of the second part of "The Ordinary World"; according to the standard of one thousand words and one hundred words, the copyright of the third part is bought out, without limiting the number of the third part. When the second and third parts are completed, Lao Lu, this boss Sun is thinking about your health."
Lin D, who was the editor of the magazine, immediately took a liking to Sun Jian, whom he had never met before, and it was like giving him timely help! She repeatedly advised her husband to pay attention to his health, stay up late less, smoke less, and drink less strong coffee. However, her husband went his own way and lived in his own world. He didn't care about anything at home, spent money lavishly, and the family was in debt. She was also mentally and physically exhausted. The idea of divorce came up for the first time, but considering that my daughter was still young, I didn't bring it up in person.
The standard domestic manuscript fee is ten yuan for one thousand words. According to Lu Y's current fame, it is twenty yuan for one thousand words.
At the end of 1982, "Harvest" published "Life" with 130,000 words and 10 yuan for 1,000 words. My husband received a royalties of 1,300 yuan from the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, and he was extremely happy.
The first part of "The Path of Ordinary People" has more than 300,000 words, and the husband can immediately get a huge sum of more than 30,000 yuan! The second part has already been written, with a plan to create more than 300,000 words, and the advance payment of half of it is more than 15,000 yuan!
The first part of "The Path of Ordinary People" was finally completed in the hospital bed. The doctor told her that her husband's liver disease would require hospitalization for about a month, and he would have to rest for half a year after being discharged. However, her husband was afraid of spending money and only agreed to take traditional Chinese medicine. Now, The family owes a lot of debt.
With a huge sum of 45,000 yuan, debt repayment, hospitalization, and a new look, Lin D wanted to agree to it for her husband.
"Manager Chen, show me the buyout contract drawn up by Jiangcheng Qiming Bookstore?"
Lu Y, who had been hit by rejections one after another, also wanted to see his work published as soon as possible, meet readers, and receive more than 45,000 yuan in manuscript fees. He suddenly became a member of the Provincial Writers Association with 10,000 yuan, rich and powerful, and paid all his debts. With the money, I can buy a large color TV and a refrigerator for my family, and a set of good clothes for my wife and children. I can also help my old mother repair the dilapidated cave dwelling at home, get some hospitalization, and have the time and energy to complete my second work.
The clouds clear and the fog clears!

"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Chen. I will be the editor-in-chief of "The Ordinary World". When the revision is completed, you can contact East China Normal University Press."
On behalf of Sun Jian, Chen Xuemei signed a contract with Lu Y for Jiangcheng Qiming Bookstore to buy out the first, second and third parts of "The Ordinary World". She paid 45,500 yuan and got the third part of "The Ordinary World". A book manuscript.
During this period, private companies were not qualified to publish books, newspapers, periodicals, and audio-visual products, so they planned to join forces with East China Normal University Press!
Sun Jian held the thick manuscript as if he had bought a painting and calligraphy by a famous artist at Jiangcheng Cultural Relics Bookstore.
If you want to make a fortune from "The Ordinary World", you might as well spend 45,500 yuan to buy dozens of calligraphy and painting works by famous modern artists at the Chang'an state-owned cultural relics store. If you keep them for decades, you can earn hundreds of millions. Worry, don't rush.
Jiangcheng Qiming Bookstore will pay more than 100,000 yuan in copyright fees, which is equivalent to more than 10 million yuan in the previous life! If Lu Y bought two sets of storefronts on the streets of Chang'an and kept them for decades, he would also be a multi-millionaire!
Sun Jian has a keen eye for gold, and he did not take advantage of Lu Y!
In a previous life, in December 1986, China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Publishing House published three thousand copies of "The Ordinary World", but no one took notice!
In 1987, "Flower City" refused to publish the second part of "The Ordinary World".
No mainstream literary magazine in China was willing to publish the second part, and no mainstream publishing house was willing to publish the second part. In the end, I had to find a small local magazine to publish the second and third parts.
In his previous life, Lu Y wrote "The Ordinary World" (Part 3) for six years and received more than 30,000 yuan in royalties, but he spent more than 30,000 yuan on smoking and drinking coffee.
Writing a book is like selling blood!
Overworked and sick!
In 1991, I borrowed 500 yuan from my younger brother to pay for the trip to Beijing to receive the Mao Dun Literature Prize. I entertained guests and delivered books in the capital, and after the trip, I owed another 5,000 yuan in foreign debt.
This is the rough fate that Lu Y and "The Ordinary World" encountered in their previous lives!
Lu Y's untimely death was not unrelated to these rough experiences!
With the reborn ones around, everything will get better!
It all depends on human effort!
Is always shining gold!
When it comes to creation, Sun Jian is no match for Lu Y, but when it comes to writing skills, he is not inferior to him at all! If you talk about creating business management books, you can throw the opponent out of the way.
In his previous life, he was the editor-in-chief of the Health K newspaper and his reputation was not in vain!
"Okay, Boss Sun!"
