Chapter 58 Delivering money to the door
“Jiang Hui, you are quite on time for getting off work.”
When Jiang Hui just returned to the gate of the dormitory building of the health center, Ge Suhong was already there It's waiting there.
"Editor Ge, why didn't you go up and sit down first?"
Jiang Hui was not surprised by Ge Suhong's arrival today.
The first issue of "Desire" has been released, so it is normal for her to come over today and ask for the manuscript for the second issue.
Looking at her hands, she seems to be holding a few magazines, most likely they are the sample magazines provided by "People's Literature".
"Last time I went to your house with Team Leader Cui, I felt that your wife had tried her best to chat with us. Today I won't embarrass her."
"I'm afraid that She was under too much pressure, so she turned around and told her that if I couldn't bring the manuscript back on time, Team Leader Cui wouldn't let me go. "
Ge Suhong made a joke and took it directly into her hands. He handed the package to Jiang Hui and said: "Here are three sample publications, and there is also a letter containing the manuscript fee bill."
"It's supposed to be mailed to you, but I have to come over today, so I brought it over directly."
As soon as Jiang Hui heard the fee bill, his mood immediately improved.
He was not polite at all, he opened the envelope directly, took out the remittance slip and looked at it.
The remuneration for a thousand words is five yuan, and forty thousand words is exactly two hundred yuan.
For him now, it's not a lot, but it's definitely a lot.
After all, his salary is only 55 yuan a month.
"You're going to have a hard time today. You wait for me here for a while. I'll go up and get the manuscript, and then we go to have a meal nearby?"
Although Zhu Lin must have already done it at home. Dinner is ready, but I still have to say something that needs to be said.
However, Ge Suhong had no intention of going up today, and naturally she would not accept Jiang Hui’s treat.
“I can’t wait to read your masterpiece, and I’ll save the food for next time.”
"The "Desire" you wrote this time is completely popular. I guess your wife will still have endless things to say to communicate with you when she returns home."
Now that Ge Suhong has said this, Jiang Hui was no longer polite.
Anyway, there will indeed be many opportunities to eat in the future, so I’m not in a hurry to eat now.
Soon, Jiang Hui brought down the manuscript, "There are a total of six chapters and about 60,000 words in it. I wonder if you should continue to publish 40,000 words or all of them. No objection."
Originally Jiang Hui wanted to write "Desire" as soon as possible, but now it seems that there is not enough time.
There are really too many things going on in the BJ212 project team.
Even when you return home, sometimes it is inevitable to consider various arrangements.
"If we publish it all at once, there will be no problem in delivering the manuscript for the next issue, right?"
Ge Suhong is really worried that Jiang Hui will not be able to submit the manuscript one day, which will be embarrassing.
The most feared thing about serialized novels is that they will be discontinued.
"No problem, but if your magazine's sales improve, remember to give me an increase in manuscript fees."
Jiang Hui said half-jokingly.
If others are embarrassed to discuss money, he will not be embarrassed.
Although the current standards for author remuneration are right there, it is impossible to pay extra high fees.
But the standard of 2~7 yuan per thousand words, what Jiang Hui got now is 5 yuan per thousand words, why should he get the treatment of 7 yuan per thousand words, right?
This is what he should take, there is no need to be polite.
Otherwise, when writing "Longing", could it be that it was just for love?
“We also have regulations in the agency regarding manuscript fees, but as long as I can get it for you, I will fight for it.”
“Next time you come over, remember to get the manuscript revision subsidy. "Although Ge Suhong was not used to discussing royalties with authors, she really took Jiang Hui's words to heart.
So far, Jiang Hui should be the author with the greatest potential that she has discovered.
Whether she can make further progress in the editorial team in the future is also inseparable from Jiang Hui's future contributions.
After parting ways with Ge Suhong, Jiang Hui did not linger at the door.
On such a hot day, I was already sweating when I came back from riding a bicycle.
Go back and take a shower quickly.
However, when he thought that it was not that convenient to take a shower, his desire to buy a courtyard nearby became even stronger.
"My mother called me specifically today to ask about your novel writing."
"You are completely famous now."
Jiang Hui just returned home When picking up the manuscript paper, Zhu Lin had no time to chat with him.
Now that Ge Suhong is sent away, he will naturally have a chance to speak.
"These reputations are false. The main purpose is so that when people see us spending money lavishly in the future, they will not doubt where our money comes from."
"My main focus now is on upgrading BJ212 project."
"When this project is successful, I will have a firm foothold in the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant."
"No matter whether I develop in the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant in the future. , it would be much more convenient to just step out and do something on your own.”
Jiang Hui didn’t mention much to Zhu Lin about doing things alone in the future.
After all, this idea was too unbelievable in 1978.
The educated youth who returned to the city all over the street were unable to find suitable jobs, so many parents in their forties were forced to retire early to make room for their children.
Yes, in this era children can directly take over.
The three generations of XX people in later generations actually did not have no reasons at all.
Now give Zhu Lin a break in advance, even if she doesn't take it seriously for the time being, it will be easier to accept it in the future.
"Writers are very popular now. You can write a novel as popular as "Desire". It would be a pity if you don't write it in the future."
Zhu Lin definitely said a lot with these words. The voice of man.
If Ge Suhong were here, she would definitely clap with hands and feet.
“Whether it’s a pity or not depends on the situation.”
“In the future, if the time is right and you have ideas, you can also consider some other creations.”
Jiang Hui chatted with Zhu Lin for a while and then went to take a shower first.
After washing all the sticky dirt on my body with soap, I finally felt a little refreshed.
In later generations, Jiang Hui rarely bathed with cold water, but after returning to this era, bathing with cold water in summer has become a habit.
"Why don't we go back to my parents' place on the weekend? Mom hasn't seen us for a while."
After taking a bath, Zhu Lin had already helped put the rice on the table, and the two of them While eating, chatting.
After a busy day, I felt completely relaxed at this time.
"Okay, now many things in the project team have slowly got on track, so there is no need for me to keep an eye on it on weekends."
With all the pots and pans outside There were various sounds of the pots hitting each other and the neighbors loudly calling for their children to come back for dinner. After the two of them finished eating, they walked downstairs for a while in perfect harmony, and then came back to rest.
I don’t do any special exercise at ordinary times, so I naturally have to do more exercise at night.
