Chapter 292 Fang Minghua takes office
Fang Minghua laughed after hearing this.
"Brother Jia, people call you the little Zhuge of our literary world in Qin Province. You are good at pinching and calculating. I really can't hide some troubles from you. Yes, Chairman Hu just came here with the intention of letting me participate in the competition. "
"In the end, you politely declined, or put forward your own opinion?" Jia Pingwa crossed her legs and blew out a smoke ring and said again.
"Oh, Brother Jia, your guess is really accurate. So what suggestions do you think I will make?" Fang Minghua asked with interest.
"The editor-in-chief doesn't have enough power, it's boring."
"Oh, why do you say this if you are really there?"
"This is not a lice on a bald man's head - it's obvious, the editor-in-chief is this Since the position needs to be competitively recruited, the editor-in-chief responsibility system must be implemented, just like the factory director responsibility system that is now implemented. Even the editor himself has no say. Is this the editor-in-chief’s competition for recruitment? ”
< br>Awesome.
Fang Minghao secretly praised it.
If Jia Pingwa gave up writing novels and completely entered the officialdom, she would definitely be good with her mind.
"Brother Jia, actually you should come out and compete for the job." Fang Minghua said again.
"Forget it. The relevant leaders of the province have said that my focus now is to do a good job in the work of the Xijing Writers Association. There is also a lot of work waiting for me in "Chang'an" magazine. I don't have the energy to Minghua, but I can't do it. If this opinion is adopted, the competition for the editor-in-chief position will become more intense.
After that, Jia Pingwa stood up and patted his shoulder, and walked out of the room.
Fang Minghua looked at it. Looking at his back.
I vaguely remember that in history, Jia Pingwa seems to have finally become the editor-in-chief of "Yanhe", right?
Within two days, the Provincial Writers Association agreed with Fang Minghua’s opinions.
Of course I didn’t tell him alone, but added some content to the competition notice, expanded the editor’s power, and adopted the editor-in-chief responsibility system.
After Wang Yu got the news, he was determined to win.
Although he knew that Fang Minghua carried the power of being elected as the vice chairman of the Writers Association not long ago and that the comrades who supported him were very vocal, Wang Yu also had his own advantages.
With 30 years of experience in the literary world of Qin Province, I have a wide network of contacts, including leaders within the magazine, the Provincial Writers Association, and even the Provincial Department of Culture and the Propaganda Department.
Tonight at home, he sat at his desk and looked at the competition report he had written. It was nearly 20,000 words long and elaborated on the strategies and principles he would adopt as the editor-in-chief of the magazine.
< br>Among them, he feels that the most eye-catching item in the report is that "in three years, the current monthly sales volume of "Yanhe" magazine will be increased from an average of 120,000 copies to 180,000 copies, an increase of 50%, which is close to the best level in history.
After thinking about it, he picked up the pen and changed "180,000 copies" to "240,000 copies", simply doubling it.
According to his thinking and calculation, the monthly average of the magazine in three years was. The sales volume has increased to 180,000 copies. After hard work, there is still great hope, but it will take a lot of effort to increase the volume to 240,000 copies.
No matter how much it is, let’s write it down in the report first.
After the modification, he felt very satisfied.
“Daughter-in-law, what do you think of what I wrote?” Wang Yu handed it to his wife who was preparing lessons.
Wang Yu’s daughter-in-law is a Chinese teacher in a middle school. She picked up her husband’s report and took a look at it, and soon discovered the places that her husband had changed.
"Magazine sales have doubled in three years. Lao Wang, I think you are bragging, right? Competition among magazines is so fierce now. Do you think you are really "People's Literature"? Of course, your "Yanhe" revision It's probably similar to popular literature like "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times" and "Story Club".
Wang Yu glared at her after hearing this:
"Nonsense! How can our dignified "Yanhe" magazine, a national serious literary journal, be compared with those vulgar magazines?! This is purely blasphemous and written by a great man. Those two words "Yanhe"! "
The title of the magazine "Yanhe" is the calligraphy of the great man in the early 1960s. It was not the inscription by the great man himself, but the magazine at that time looked for the calligraphy written by the great man. The words are spliced together, but they are still significant.
Wang Yu’s wife heard this and said angrily: "Look at you, are you anxious? I said you are already fifty years old after all. As the saying goes, you know your destiny at fifty, and you will have to work for a few more years. You're retired, why do you have to compete for the editor-in-chief? Besides, didn't the Writers Association ask you to start "Novel Review"? "How can "Novel Review" be as good as "Yanhe"? , "Do you think that Fang Minghua dares to write about doubling magazine sales within three years?" Wang Yu said. "Don't dare, don't dare, you are an old man now and have great ambitions." The daughter-in-law said with a smile.
“Nonsense, I’m not old yet. I will officially submit the competition report tomorrow.”
Wang Yu submitted the competition report to the Provincial Writers Association. At the same time, Fang Minghua also submitted his own report. , he didn’t write as much as Wang Yu, only about three thousand words, concise and to the point. He just put forward his ideas, goals, and specific plans for running the "Yanhe" magazine well.
The people of Lao Qin are relatively restrained in their work. They are not like some places in the south who give competition speeches. The report is handed over to the leadership group specially established by the Writers Association for study and discussion.
Everything is waiting for good news.
On April 1, 1986, "Yanhe" magazine held an all-staff meeting. Hu Cai, chairman of the Provincial Writers Association, came to the venue in person to announce the results of the competition.
“Since the Provincial Writers Association announced the competition for the position of editor-in-chief, a total of two comrades have signed up to participate in the competition. After repeated discussions and research by a special group of the Writers Association, they also visited the magazine and talked with individual leading cadres to solicit the opinions of comrades. And reported it to the leaders of the relevant provincial departments for study and approval, and now it is decided:"
Speaking of this, Hu Cai paused, looked at the two candidates sitting in the front row again, and continued to read this time: "Comrade Fang Minghua, the former deputy editor-in-chief of the magazine, is hired as the editor-in-chief of the magazine, and the appointment period is three years!"
"Bah bang bang" The audience burst into warm applause.
“Comrade Fang Minghua is invited to speak!”
Fang Minghua stood up, shook hands with Wang Yu who was sitting next to him, and then walked onto the podium.
Fang Minghua is very humble. He said that although he is now the editor-in-chief, the publication must be compiled in accordance with experts and colleagues.
“Yanhe Magazine is a magazine with a profound literary tradition. I hope to dedicate to readers the voices of hundreds of millions of people and the magnificent and mottled pictures of the times. What we welcome are those Such a work is closely related to the fate of millions of people, connected with flesh and blood, and has a heart and soul."
Of course, it received warm applause from Bai Miao and others.
Fang Minghua was talking eloquently above, but Wang Yu's face in the audience was ugly.
He was very dissatisfied.
That’s it?
Who doesn’t know how to speak high-sounding words?
At least you need to show some real talent and work hard, right?
Of course you can't talk nonsense now, you have to maintain your grace.
A handshake when it’s time, a clap when it’s time to applaud.
As soon as the conference ended, President Huang invited Hu Cai to sit in his office. Wang Yu followed him and asked as soon as he entered the door.
"Chairman Hu, President Huang, I don't accept it! Just based on the big words that Fang Minghua just said, do you agree with him?!"
Hu Cai and President Huang looked at each other, Hu Cai Then he said: "President Huang, let him take a look."
President Huang took out a piece of information from the drawer and handed it to Wang Yu.
"This was handed over to me from the special group of the Writers Association. It was originally going to be announced at the club's leadership team meeting. Let you see it first."
Wang Yu took it over and saw that it was Fang Minghua's competition. Report.
The text is not long, but a few sentences are particularly eye-catching
“In two years, the magazine’s monthly sales increased from 120,000 to 300,000 copies!”
