The building of Oriental Daily has been particularly lively these days, and its own newspaper has become the champion of Hong Kong's sales again, making employees full of energy, sales steadily increase and advertising revenue increases, employees' treatment will also increase accordingly.
It was in this atmosphere that Kang Jianfei stepped into the newspaper door again.
Kang Jianfei walked towards the elevator leisurely, and suddenly someone next to him shouted: Kang Jianfei, Kang Jianfei is here!
Kang Jianfei turned his head and saw that it was Yun Bo, a young reporter from the Oriental Daily who guided him that day. This guy rushed towards Kang Jianfei as if he saw the God of Wealth.
Hearing Yun Bo's shouts, the first-floor newspaper employees quickly gathered and surrounded Kang Jianfei.
Is this the Kang Jianfei who wrote "The Legend of Qin"?
So young Ah, I thought Kang Jianfei was at least 40 years old.
And she is also very beautiful, much handsome than Ni Kuang.
Mr. Kang, Chapter 7 Will Xiang Shaolong use the Mohist sword technique to show his power?
Mr. Kang, can I give you an exclusive interview?
……
The newspaper staff said and said something, blocking Kang Jianfei's road, making him unbearable.
Logically speaking, these employees have seen celebrities before, so they shouldn't have run over to watch Kang Jianfei with such a fuss.
It’s just that Kang Jianfei is so mysterious and legendary: an unknown guy suddenly brought back the Oriental Daily with a novel, which is like a novel.
What's more, as an employee of the Oriental Daily, Kang Jianfei brought them very realistic benefits.
Borrowed, borrowed, please give it!Kang Jianfei smiled on his face, but his hands were quite strong. He forced a person in front of him and squeezed into the elevator.
Kang Jianfei clearly distinguished when to be approachable and when to be arrogant.
Now Kang Jianfei is in the limelight and is in a group with these ordinary newspaper employees, which will only weaken the circle of genius halos on his head.
Be more noble and arrogant, as long as your words and deeds are not too excessive, these people will look up to him more.
After going up the third floor with difficulty, Kang Jianfei raised his hand, and Yun Bo, who had been following him, had already knocked on the door of the editor-in-chief's room first.
Please come in!Xu Jixin's voice came from inside.
Yun Bo rushed to open the door and reported to Xu Jixin: Editor-in-chief, Mr. Kang is here.
Kang Jianfei?Before Xu Jixin could see Kang Jianfei outside the door, he just heard the words "Mr. Kang" and stood up suddenly.
In the past few days, Xu Jixin and Ma Chengkun have been waiting for Kang Jianfei every day, for fear that he would submit "The Legend of Qin" to other newspapers without saying a word.
Kang Jianfei walked in and reached out to Xu Jixin and smiled: Editor-in-chief Xu, you haven't seen each other for a few days, you are much more energetic.
Mr. Tokang's blessing.After Xu Jixin shook hands with Kang Jianfei, he greeted with a smile, Mr. Kang, please sit down, I thought you were not here anymore.What do you want to drink?
Just have a cup of boiled water, Kang Jianfei sat down on the leather sofa with a big thorn and said: If I don’t come today, Editor Xu may not be able to sleep at night.
Xu Jixin gave a look and asked Yun Bo to pour water. He said calmly: Mr. Kang was joking.
Seeing that he didn't take the initiative to file a royalty, Kang Jianfei was too lazy to speak by himself, so he simply sat there and closed his eyes and rested.
Just as Yunbo poured the water, Ma Chengkun, chairman and general manager of Oriental Daily, suddenly broke in.
Since Kang Jianfei was lying on the big sofa with his back to him, Ma Chengkun didn't see anyone and asked Xu Jixin anxiously: Uncle Xu, I heard that Kang Jianfei is here, where are others?
As soon as Xu Jixin saw Ma Chengkun's anxious appearance, he knew that today's negotiations would suffer.Although Ma Chengkun is young and promising, he is still a little impatient in handling things and does not have much patience.
Chairman, Mr. Kang is here.Xu Jixin flew to Kang Jian.
Kang Jianfei's face became faster than June 2019, and suddenly he stood up and said with a smile: Oh, are you Chairman Ma?I have long admired you, you have always been my idol Ah. At a young age, you are simply a role model for a big newspaper.
Seeing that Kang Jianfei was so respectful to him, Ma Chengkun felt quite comfortable and smiled: Wherever he was, Mr. Kang is a young talent. A wonderful pen stirred up Xiangjiang. I am also a fan of Mr. Kang’s book.
After the two of them talked a little bit, Ma Chengkun asked the young reporter Yun Bo to go out first, and then asked straight to the point: I would like to ask Mr. Kang to continue to serialize "The Legend of Qin" in the Oriental Daily. You can make a price for the manuscript fee.
OK, Chairman Ma is indeed generous enough. Kang Jianfei applauded, since you said that, I can't seem too stingy, just 500 yuan for a thousand words.
Xu Jixin was so angry that he almost fell down when he heard the number next to him.
Ni Kuang's manuscript fee for "Ming Pao" was only 180 yuan Ah, and Huang Yulang asked Ni Kuang to write a novel for 500 yuan, which was just a speculation, not a normal market price.
Ma Chengkun was also slightly angry, but now Kang Jianfei took the initiative, so he could only suppress his anger and said: Mr. Kang, isn’t this royalty a little too much?
Kang Jianfei said earnestly: Alas, Mr. Ma, I actually want so much manuscript fee, and I am thinking about the Oriental Daily.
Xu Jixin finally realized what it means to turn black and white. He called out a sky-high royalty fee, but even said that it was for the sake of the Oriental Daily. It was simply shameless!
Ma Chengkun asked with a stiff smile: How did Mr. Kang think about the newspaper?
Kang Jianfei explained clearly: First, I want a royalty of 500 yuan for a thousand words, which is just a drop in the bucket compared to the profits obtained by Oriental Daily in the past few days.Moreover, you can use this topic to hype it up and say that I am the same as Ni Kuang’s manuscript fee, and that is the second Ni Kuang came out of nowhere.By the way, I forgot to tell you two, I have only been swimming from the mainland for more than a month.
Ma Chengkun and Xu Jixin looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They nodded slightly to each other, which was considered to be acknowledging Kang Jianfei's plan.
Ni Kuang also came from the mainland back then, and Ni Kuang became famous for his novels. Kang Jianfei was so similar to him. In addition, both of them received a sky-high royalty of 500 yuan in 1,000 words, which is more suitable for hype together.
The biggest difference between the two is that Ni Kuang is now a celebrity in the literary world, while Kang Jianfei is just a newcomer who has just debuted.
If Ma Chengkun works properly, then Oriental Daily will become a hot topic of public opinion again, and Kang Jianfei's own fame will also soar, which can be said to be a win-win result.
As for Ni Kuang, I’m sorry, I can only exist as a stepping stone for Kang Jianfei to make a fame.
Kang Jianfei continued: Second, if I give me a manuscript fee of 500 yuan, I can guarantee that I will not submit articles to other newspapers within three years, and the first choice for publishing novels within five years is the Oriental Daily.
Both Ma Chengkun and Xu Jixin were happy. Kang Jianfei promised to provide exclusively with Ah to the Oriental Daily. If this calculation is made, the popularity of "The Legend of Qin" is indeed not too outrageous.
How could they know that Kang Jianfei's writing style was so bad that he didn't promise to write exclusively for the Oriental Daily, he would never be able to write another novel within two years. "The Legend of Qin" has already written Kang Jianfei to the point of vomiting blood.
Just as Ma Chengkun was about to agree, Kang Jianfei suddenly said: But I have a condition, hoping that the Oriental Daily can advance my full remuneration of HK$750,000. I am going to write 1.5 million words for this drama.
Xu Jixin was stunned, then shook his head and said: No, absolutely not.To put it bluntly, if Mr. Kang turned around and ran back to the mainland with the money, who should we ask for the manuscript?
What about 500,000?Kang Jianfei had just asked for a huge price, but now it has suddenly dropped by one third, so as to give the other party a feeling of taking advantage.
Ma Chengkun hesitated for a while and asked: Is Mr. Kang in a hurry to use the money?If I need help, I can do my best.
Kang Jianfei answered the question irrelevantly: How about this?I will give you a 500,000-word novel draft first, and you will advance my 500,000 royalty.
Xu Jixin was still thinking, but Ma Chengkun was simply much more generous. After only half a minute of hesitation, he said to Kang Jianfei: That's it. I wonder if Mr. Kang's novel draft was brought?
Chairman Ma is indeed a person who does big things. Kang Jianfei flattered him for not having money and took out a stack of manuscript paper from his bag. The 500,000 manuscripts are all here.
One hour later, the two parties successfully signed the contract.
Kang Jianfei got the cash check of 500,000 yuan as he wished. He was about to take it to the bank to transfer it, but he heard Ma Chengkun say: Mr. Kang, how about having a cup of tea together?
Good Ah, Chairman Ma invites you, and honor is coming.Kang Jianfei stopped.
The two of them ended up not having tea, but instead found a cafe to sit down.
The reason why Ma Chengkun invited Kang Jianfei to have coffee with polite people was because he thought Kang Jianfei was very interesting and would definitely succeed in the future.
How many local Hong Kong citizens are now working hard to save the 500,000 yuan to buy a house?A mainlander earns 500,000 yuan in a month when he comes to Hong Kong, which can only be described as a genius.
Although Ma Chengkun is young and impatient, he has one quality that cannot be compared with the sophisticated Xu Jixin, that is, he is not bound by the minor details and does not care about taking such a small loss.
Having a good relationship before Kang Jianfei becomes successful is equivalent to adding a layer of guarantee to the future "Oriental Daily".
When Ni Kuang was just an ordinary editor of a magazine, he also started writing martial arts novels with the encouragement and support of Jin Yong. In the end, the friendship between the two was unbreakable. The Wesley series has only been serialized in Ming Pao for more than ten years.
Ma Chengkun is very ambitious. He regards himself as Jin Yong and Kang Jianfei as Ni Kuang in the past!
The two are not very familiar with each other now and do not talk about work or personal issues. Instead, they talk nonsense, but they just flatter each other in a false way.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Kang Jianfei suddenly said: It’s very profitable to make movies in Hong Kong now. Has Mr. Ma ever thought about investing in making movies?
I don’t make movies, Ma Chengkun shook his head repeatedly and said: The risk of movies is too high. A friend of mine invested 1 million to make a movie last year, but it turned out to be released in the cinema for five days, with a box office of only more than 3,000 yuan.
Kang Jianfei was disappointed. He was still thinking about investing in Ma Chengkunla in making movies, so he could only find another way now.
It was in this atmosphere that Kang Jianfei stepped into the newspaper door again.
Kang Jianfei walked towards the elevator leisurely, and suddenly someone next to him shouted: Kang Jianfei, Kang Jianfei is here!
Kang Jianfei turned his head and saw that it was Yun Bo, a young reporter from the Oriental Daily who guided him that day. This guy rushed towards Kang Jianfei as if he saw the God of Wealth.
