Chapter 346 The eyes of the masses are sharp (two-in-one)
“The pile on the left is the letters from readers of “The Stewardess”.”
“This side in the middle is the readers Letter to "The King of Chess""< br>
“The pile on the right is written for other writers in this issue.”
Listening to Zhu Wei’s words, Wang Meng, Fang Yan and others looked at the piles on the table. Letters from readers are piling up from right to left.
Chen Xiaoman smiled and said: "Although the tragic ending of "Stewardess" makes some readers very dissatisfied, in general, most of them like humorous love novels like "Stewardess", especially those from Yan Readers in Beijing feel that it is full of Beijing flavor."
Wang Meng asked: "What about "The King of Chess"? ”
“It also received rave reviews!”
Wang Fu was all smiles. Especially within the literary circle, "The King of Chess" is deeply loved by writers and editors, and even ranked among "Contemporary" and "The King of Chess". Chinese Youth and other newspapers and periodicals called me one after another, inquiring about Zhong Acheng’s specific address and preparing to visit him for articles.
“Sure enough, the masses’ eyes are sharp.”
Fang Yan looked around and looked at Zhou Ming, Lu Shuyou and others for a few more seconds.
I saw that each of them looked embarrassed, and they reluctantly forced out a smile, and their smiles were uglier than their tears.
"Now, our "People's Literature" has had a good start in the 'root-seeking literature'."
Wang Meng smiled from ear to ear, "The editorial department will take the next step. Keep up the good work and dig out more images like Root-seeking novels like "The King of Chess"! If nothing else, Director Fang's "root-seeking literature" will be the latest and most mainstream trend in the literary world in the next few years! br>
Fang Yan took the lead in applauding, followed closely by Zhu Wei, Chen Xiaoman and others. The applause was like thunder, resounding throughout the room.
However, for Zhou Ming and Lu Shuyou, it was like slaps in the face one after another.
Under Fang Xiaojiang's first fire, in the dispute over the line of "People's Literature", the Western faction was obviously overwhelmed and at a disadvantage.
"Zhu Wei!"
Dialect asked Zhu Wei to package all the letters from readers, and then follow him to deliver the letters to the writers one by one.
Zhu Wei said: "Teacher Fang, I can go alone, you just..."
"Doesn't this show our sincerity? It can consolidate and deepen the relationship with the writer."
< br>Fang Yan said: "By the way, let's see if we can make another appointment for a manuscript."
Zhu Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly tied the letters into piles, put them into a cloth bag, and then followed Teacher Fang Travel far away.
The first house we visited was Shi Tiesheng’s house on Yonghegong Street.
After sending the letter, we talked about the creation of "The Intouchables", and the outline of the outline gradually began to take shape.
Then, the second house, the third house, the fourth house...
Zhu Wei sat in the car, "I didn't expect that Wang Shuo and Acheng's homes are separated by Chang'an Street. "Teacher Fang, which one should we send first?"
"Of course it's Acheng," Fang Yan said, "Let him come to the editorial office to pick up Wang Shuo's letter."
" Huh?" Zhu Wei was surprised.
"Wang Shuo can't be spoiled. He's the kind of donkey who needs a carrot in front and a whip behind."
Fang Yan smiled. Wang Shuo is no longer an ordinary writer. , must be punched hard, locked up in a small dark room and squeezed hard.
Zhu Wei nodded, "What you said makes sense."
The two came to Zhong Acheng's home, a small east room with a total area of less than 10 square meters, which was cramped and cramped. .
At the door, there was a basket with dried noodles in it, and a sign beside it, "The keys and dried noodles are at the same place."
Zhong Acheng walked out of the room, surprised and happy, "Teacher Fang, why are you here!"
"Of course I am delivering a letter to you."
Fang Yan handed it to Zhu Wei With a look, Zhu Wei took out bundles of readers' letters from the bag knowingly.
“Hey, there are so many!”
Zhong Acheng smiled and said, “I originally thought that no one would watch “The King of Chess”, I didn’t expect, I didn’t expect...”
< br>
Fang Yan said: "I didn't expect that I'm so good-looking."
Zhong Acheng said: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I'm just like that stupid woman. Suddenly one man after another comes and asks, 'Hey, You're so beautiful,' and I couldn't help but mutter, 'Am I really that beautiful?'"
Zhu Wei said: "Beautiful, of course you are beautiful. Many people praise you for being as beautiful as Shi Tiesheng."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I don't dare to take it seriously. Compared with Shi Tiesheng, it really flatters me."
Zhong Acheng invited the two of them into the room. There was a tea jar that had not been cleared away on the table.
Fang Yan was greatly surprised, "Has anyone been here?"
"Just left not long ago."
Zhong Acheng showed a helpless smile, "These days, there are people from this publishing house every day. The editor of the publishing house came to me to request a manuscript, which almost broke the threshold of my family. When I married my wife, there weren’t that many people attending.”
Fang Yan asked, “Where are your wife and children?”
Zhong Acheng explained. From the time people get married to have children, they have always been separated in different places.
Zhu Wei looked at the house that was about to collapse at any time, "Why do you want this kind of house that no one wants?"
"It's better than nothing. It's no good. Before I was thirty, I had always been in trouble. , but since meeting Teacher Fang, things have finally turned around." Zhong Acheng was very excited and said that as soon as "The King of Chess" was released, his employer immediately considered giving him a new apartment.
Fang Yan said: "That's good, that's good."
"Teacher Fang, it's all thanks to you that our family of three can be reunited."
Zhong Acheng The passion and gratitude were simply beyond words. She held his hand tightly and shook it vigorously.
Dialect said: "Then in the future, contribute more articles to "People's Literature"."
"This...this..."
Zhong Acheng said that literature is just a kind of accidental survival. Means, you rely on craftsmanship to make a living. People who rely on craftsmanship must not nail themselves to a fixed point. In that case, they will either be exhausted or bored to death.
"There are so many genres in literature. When you are tired of writing novels, you can write other things, such as movie scripts."
Fang Yan raised a playful smile.
He bought the county magistrate of 6 counties. He can't do it by himself. No, he has so many scripts at the same time. He can't handle it by himself.
I was planning to catch all Zhong Acheng, Wang Shuo, Yu Hua and others in one fell swoop and build a studio similar to the "Haima Creation Center" in the future.
The boss lady is naturally Gong Qie.
As for the name, how about "ox horse"? Or "mules and horses" better?
…………
The next day, early in the morning.
Fang Yan did not go to work in the Humanities Club, but took Gong Qie, Fang Yan and others to apply for ID cards.
Before sending Fang Yan back to school, I made a special trip to Wangfujing Street to buy her a new pair of pull-back shoes.
At this moment, people are coming and going on the street, and foreign tourists can be seen everywhere, basically thanks to "A Bite of China".
On the one-kilometer-long street from the south entrance of Wangfujing to the west entrance of Dengshi, there are a total of 130 stores selling daily necessities, household appliances, clothing, shoes and hats, books and other commodities. The store does not sell goods, but provides repair and other services.
In the past, many state-owned stores were closed before the sun set at five or six in the afternoon.
At the latest, it will be closed before 7:30 pm.
The three of them arrived at the Wangfujing Department Store, the first large-scale department store since the founding of the People's Republic of China. There was an overwhelming variety of products.
Because it is still a planned economy at this time, the cost price of the same product in different shopping malls is the same, and the retail price is also the same.
For example, a watch of the same brand and style sells for 180 yuan in a department store, but it can only sell for 180 yuan in a shopping mall in Xidan. While Fang Yan was trying on shoes, Fang Yan quietly talked to Gong Cie about the idea of a "creation center."
"Then who will take care of it then?" Gong Qiao was surprised, "Are you willing to leave "People's Literature" and go into business?"
"It's not me, it's you!" Fang Yan He said with a smile.
Gong Qie was stunned, "Me?"
Fang Yan nodded. In the future, when policies and situations are slowly relaxed, he will prepare to expand the creative center into a cultural company, publishing, film and television He is involved in everything from business, entertainment, investment, etc. Before that, he must first establish good relations with CCTV, Yanjing TV and other TV stations.
Listening to his plan, Gong Zhen fell into deep thought, "Then what are you going to do next?"
"The first step is to find a publishing house that can be affiliated with and start a magazine. .”
Dialect said: "This creative center can operate in the name of the 'magazine editorial department'."
Gong Qie blinked, "Which publishing house? Is it reliable?"
"Of course It's "Science Fiction World"
Fang Yan was so confident that he was so damn reliable that he opened the door for him. He was so reliable.
"Oh! Did you already think about doing this before writing the manuscript for "Science Fiction World"?" Gong Zhen suddenly realized.
Fang Yan smiled but said nothing, their eyes met in one place, everything was silent.
Then I went to the counter to pay and heard two saleswomen holding the Economic Daily and cursing.
“Don’t let me meet the reporter who wrote this article, otherwise, I will scold her severely.”
"That's right, what makes Wangfujing Street light up? Just let it light up. Why should we extend the business hours of shops?"
"Journalists are like this, they only need to use their pen and their words. , and what we salespersons have to consider is "Many more."
"I really studied journalism!"
"..."
After hearing their complaints, I found out after asking in dialect that the palace Jing Department Store became one of the first state-owned units to be self-financing.
In the past, the ownership and management rights were all owned by the state, and the superiors were responsible for the performance. But now, the management rights are slowly transferred to shopping malls.
In order to ensure efficiency, the business hours of the department store can only be extended, which indirectly extends the working hours of the sales staff.
"We are not unreasonable people. If the working hours are extended, just extend them, but we won't give you any overtime pay!"
The salesperson was very angry, "You Comment, is there any reason in the world not to pay overtime for overtime work?"
Fang Yan glanced at the "No Hitting or Scolding Customers Without Reason" posted on the wall. These days, state-owned salespersons have a golden job.
However, his mind was not on this, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the store and counter.
…………
Sending Gong Cie and Fang Yan back to school respectively, Fang Yan went straight to Han Yuemin’s clothing store.
Nowadays, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, with electronic jacquard machines, electronic sewing machines and various equipments available.
Han Yuemin was surprised at first when he saw Fang Yan’s sudden visit, and was even more shocked when he revealed his intention:
"What? Rent the counter and shop in Wangfujing Department Store?"
"Yes!"
"Can Wangfujing Department Store agree?"
"Why not? Promise? Now the department store is responsible for its own profits. We are losing money every day.”
Fang Yan introduced him to the business model of “bringing factories into stores”, that is, the mall rents the counter directly to the manufacturer, and then the manufacturer supplies the goods directly in the mall. Sales, and then the manufacturer pays wages to sales.
"This is indeed a good idea, but can the department store agree?"
Han Yuemin said: "We are not a state-owned unit, not even a rural collective enterprise, we are just a self-employed person."
Dialect said : “Brother-in-law, don’t belittle yourself; You are an ordinary self-employed person. You are a self-employed person with meritorious service and have been a typical self-employed person. Besides, you have been in the newspaper and sponsored the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Many state-owned units may not be able to compare with you. "
Han Yuemin. Hearing this, his back straightened up involuntarily.
“And at the beginning of the year, a red-headed document was issued to encourage the production and circulation of goods.”
Fang Yan said meaningfully: "I think as long as the leaders of the department store can be convinced, they will not reject this win-win plan. Maybe this 'introducing factories into stores' model will be established as a model and promoted nationwide in the future." Here!
Han Yuemin couldn’t help but realize, “Leave the persuasion to me. "
Fang Yan said: "If it is done, the next thing to consider is the trademark and brand..."
"What should we do with the store and counter? ”
Han Yuemin has visited counters countless times, but this is the first time he rented a counter for business.
"Isn't this simple?"
Fang Yan cleared his throat.
The counter should be arranged in a grand manner, with posters of various celebrities on the side. There should be a few sales girls standing at the counter. They are very beautiful and modern. It is best to have a sweet voice and long legs to attract customers. As soon as you come in, no matter what happens, you have to say "may I help you?"
Do you know what a successful person is? Successful people always buy the most expensive ones, not the best ones!
So, the slogan of our clothing counter is: don’t seek the best, but seek the most expensive.
"I understand, that's what you need!"
Han Yuemin suddenly became enlightened.
“That’s right, we Yanjing people are good-looking, we can’t disgrace this person!”
Fang Yan said: “This counter is doing this, and other counters can take the route of people-friendly evaluation. ..."
Ballad a lot, Han Yuemin's eyes were shining, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the counter was definitely a cornucopia.
"But Yanzi, when it comes to hiring people, I can never exceed 8 people."
"This is another thing I want to tell you. We want to be bigger and stronger without expanding. Production is not possible.”
“That’s right, I’m planning to discuss it with you. "
Han Yuemin said: "There are many self-employed people who are affiliated with state-owned and even village collective enterprises. Yanzi, should we wear this red hat or not?"
"It is definitely yes. You have to wear it, but you have to put it on so you can take it off later.”
Dialect reminded me.
These days, as self-employed businesses expand production, they must recruit employees "seven up and eight down", with a maximum of seven.
However, it is legal for state-owned or collective enterprises to expand their operations and recruit employees. In order to produce and operate legally and compliantly, they must also be settled after the fall. Most self-employed individuals will affiliate their enterprises to these unit names. Next, euphemistically called "wearing a hat".
"That's right. If you find the wrong one, you'll be finding a father for yourself and giving away your belongings to someone else."
Han Yuemin was troubled, "Do you think I have a father?" How was the noodle factory where your sister worked before? ”
Fang Yan touched his chin, "No, it's not reliable."
Han Yuemin clapped his hands, helpless, "What can we do?"
"There is no other way, this hat If you can’t wear it, you’ll have to change a hat.”
Fang Yan has long thought about registering a company in the Cayman Islands, then establishing a subsidiary in Xiangjiang, investing in the mainland in the name of foreign capital, and then putting a foreign hat on Han Yuemin's clothing company. You can enjoy the policy benefits of "three supplements and one come".
Han Yuemin was very excited, "That's great!"
"But there is no other way. Foreign hats are still very restrictive in China."
Fang Yan took a sip of Arctic Ocean soda, thoughtfully.
