Chapter 305 Renaissance Literature Award

In November, a news came from the news.

Writer Lu Yao died of ineffective treatment of cirrhosis.

This news was rumored in the Writer's Village, and some rumors spread like wildfire, arousing the sighs and sighs of many people in the Writer's Village.

"I heard that Lu Yao's wife ran away because her family was too poor!"

"Lu Yao died of poverty!"

Just like many secret and unofficial history in later generations, the news that Lu Yao died of illness due to poverty was spreading wildly among domestic literature enthusiasts after his death like weeds after the rain.

Some crazy readers even wrote to He Ping, questioning: You are both a Chinese writer and worth tens of billions of dollars, why can't you lend a helping hand to Lu Yao, who is also a writer? Instead, you live a life of a fat heart, a wine pool and a meat forest.

He Ping replied to the author very seriously about this, and the letter stated it.

First, Lu Yao is poor not because he has no money, but because he has money, but he spends too much money and has a lot of trouble at home.

In 1982, Lu Yao published the novel "Life" with a total of 130,000 words. Lu Yao received a royalty of 1,300 yuan, which was converted into the price at that time. The royalty of a novel published is equivalent to the income of an ordinary worker for two years.

In 1988, Lu Yao won the Mao Dun Literature Award for "Ordinary World" and the prize was 5,000 yuan. Last year, the average salary in Beijing was barely 200 yuan, which was enough for him to buy a house in Beijing.

What I listed is only a small part of Lu Yao's income. For example, shortly after "Ordinary World" won the award, Lu Yao was named "Expert of the Country with Outstanding Contributions" and "Expert of the West and Shaanxi Province with Outstanding Contributions". He enjoys national expert allowances and Western Shaanxi Province with Expert allowances. This income alone can ensure that even when you are not writing, your income is higher than that of most people.

I am not convenient to talk about how Lu Yao spends money here. If you have any intention, please inquire by yourself.

Second, it is my business that I have money, it has nothing to do with others, and I am not what you describe as being rich and unkind, rich and rich. In just 1992 years, I have donated more than 22 million to various charities across the country. As of this year, the Global-Janon Charity Foundation, I initiated, has built more than 1,200 "Chunxiao Hope Primary School" across the country, with a total investment of 130 million yuan. I think I have a more say in how to help others.

Third, I understand your regret and reluctance to the death of literary idols in an early age, but please do not spill your grudges on others, as this will not solve any problem.

Perhaps because he was resentful of He Ping's reply, the reader submitted He Ping's reply to the newspaper. Once this reply was reported, it attracted heated discussions from the cultural circles and literary enthusiasts across the country.

Generally speaking, the discussion is divided into two positions: the He Sect and the Lu Sect.

Those who support readers and Lu Yao believe that although He Ping did not state it in the letter, he could see from the lines that he disapprove of Lu Yao. The deceased is the most important thing, and He Ping said this inappropriately. Many people believe that He Ping is now rich and does have the obligation to help practitioners who are in distress in the literary world.

Those who support He Ping think that He Ping said that Lu Yao said nothing wrong. Someone asked about Lu Yao's lifestyle as he said in his letter. This inquiry was shocked. People had two packs of good cigarettes every day, and they had to drink good wine, and they also needed good coffee when writing. When they went out to attend the meeting, they didn't even eat the breakfast provided by the organizer. They had to go to the coffee shop for Western breakfast, which was not expensive, and a meal cost 5 yuan. In the 1980s... it was not easy to find coffee shops.

What's more, He Ping's qualifications in the literary world are not as shallow as Lu Yao, and he is better than Lu Yao in terms of popularity of his works, awards and honors, etc. Why do he blame him so harshly? Is it because he is rich?

But the problem is that people have money and donate a lot! They have never heard of Lu Yao donating much. Isn’t this a moral kidnapping?

The argument of Tinghe School angered the Tinglu School. As the saying goes, the deceased is the most important thing. Is it too unprotective to be the ones who come up and try to snatch people's eyes?

This anger even extended to He Ping. If it weren't for what he said about Lu Yao in the letter, those people wouldn't have gone to turn over Lu Yao's old accounts.

Not long after, rumors spread.

In other words, he said that He Ping is a very beautiful woman. If his works are adapted into film and television, the heroine must be approved by him.

As for how to get He Ping to agree, everyone understands it.

Some people used the argument of "Girl He" that was rumored a few years ago to give examples, and also used examples of He Ping pleading for Zhang Yu in the newspaper when he was criticized for her acting skills.

The two sides changed from arguing to accusation, and it was fine if He Ping was vented, but even the deceased was pulled out as a tool.

He Ping is unfair to Lu Yao. All of me and others have left. Don’t you let me calm down? This matter has something to do with me?

This debate lasted for nearly a month, not only did it not disappear, but it caused heated discussion again because of an article.

In early December, a semi-official organization in Xishan Province published an article in the provincial official newspaper, criticizing public opinion for blasphemy against Lu Yao, the deceased writer, and the article secretly defamed He Ping.

He Ping can understand the Xishan Province's move as Lu Yao's hometown to speak out for him, but the semi-official organization came to help, which was like adding fuel to the fire and expanding the impact of the storm again.

Even many well-known writers in the circle have begun to speak out. Although He Ping has neither participated in semi-official organizations nor events in recent years, he has many fans in the literary world. Just a writer village has given him an important position in the domestic literary world.

Therefore, the upright faction, which has the support of the semi-official organization, the upright faction does not suffer in public opinion and even has a slight advantage.

He Ping was unpredictable about this round of storm in the outside world. He wrote too many letters to readers over the years. This is the first time that a reply letter involves so many troubles. It seems that no matter which era it is, things like keyboard warriors cannot be messed with.

He decided to do something.

At the end of December, New Era Group issued an announcement to the public, announcing the establishment of the "Revival Literature Award".

The purpose of the award is to encourage the creation of excellent domestic literary works and promote the prosperity of Chinese socialist literature.

The awards are selected every two years, and the awards are in mid-June, avoiding the awards of the two awards of Maolu.

The first Literature Awards will be held in June 1994, and the first three months will be the time for readers to vote.

The selection scope is publicly published in the previous two years. The published literary works include novels, poetry, prose, reportage, translation literature, and dozens of subdivided awards such as long, medium, short, micro-fiction, prose, and essays.

There is only one work for each sub-prime award, and there are no outstanding works in the previous two years, and the awards may be vacant.

The total prize of each Revival Literature Award is 5 million yuan, and the prize amount is divided according to the weight of various works. The prizes for the bye in that year will be equally divided by all other winning works.

The award method is also very interesting. Unlike the Mao and Lu Awards, the Revival Literature Award will be nominated by the Revival Literature Award Committee, and then the New Era Group will join hundreds of newspapers and magazines across the country to vote for readers and finally select the winners.

Readers who love watching movies should look familiar. Isn’t this the literary version of the “Hundred Flowers Award”?

That's right, it's not a fool.

"If you want to choose, you must choose works that the people like!

This is what He Ping said to Liang Yuejin.

Even if this happens, the award evaluation procedure will cause a lot of trouble and expenses, but if done well, it will really be loved by the general public.

The Revival Literature Award is also likely to become a supreme literary award in China through this operation.

Once the news of the establishment of the Revival Literature Award was released, the incidents of He Ping and Lu Yao were instantly forgotten by literary and literary enthusiasts.

5 million yuan!

What is the concept in 1992?

The per capita annual income of urban residents nationwide is less than 3,000 yuan, and 5 million yuan is required to earn a class that is more than a thousand years old for ordinary working class.

Even if the Revival Literature Award has dozens of sub-prime awards, the prize is 100,000 yuan.

Before the release of the Revival Literature Award, the most well-known "Mao Dun Literature Award" and "Lu Xun Literature Award" in the domestic literary world were both around 10,000 yuan.

The Revival Literature Award increased the prize tenfold as soon as it came out, which is a typical disruption of the award rating market, which made the jury of the other two awards very unhappy.

It doesn’t matter if the jury is unhappy, all the writers in the literary circle are crazy happy!

Compared with the prizes of the Fuxing Literature Award, Mao Dun and Lu Xun's two prizes were instantly weak. After winning those two prizes, they will not have to worry about eating and drinking for a few years at most.

But if you win the Revival Literature Award, you will be free of food and clothing for half your life.

Writers are all inquiring about the inside story of the establishment of the "Revival Literature Award" and the criteria for judging awards. No one has a grudge against money. It is so good that you can win the award when you publish your works.

The relationship between New Era Group and He Ping is not a secret. Anyone with a lot of thought will know by inquiring. It turns out that this matter was proposed by He Ping.

Many writers in the literary circle couldn't help but sigh, looking at their awareness and attitude, they were scolded and donated money to get awards.

Just as a group of domestic writers and literature enthusiasts lamented He Ping's generosity and awareness, he was talking on the phone with Wang Meng.

"I said you guys are such a big deal!"

"This is a big deal. In our country, the literary awards that can be named after the Mao Dun and Lu Xun are still too few for many literary enthusiasts and writers. If you have any new works in the future, you may also win a prize in the Revival Literature Award!"

"That's good. I'm considered an old tree blooming, haha!"

In addition to inquiring about the establishment of the Revival Literature Award, Wang Meng also talked about the debates some time ago, and semi-official organizations from all over the country were involved.

"This is why I don't want to join a semi-official organization. They are all literary creations. It's better to be simpler. Don't exaggerate and form cliques at any time."

Wang Meng knew that he had never had any good feelings for the semi-official organization, so he told him on the phone not to intensify the conflict.

"Don't worry, I wish everyone was at peace."

Wang Meng, a retired old man, called to ask about the Revival Literature Award, which shows how popular this incident is in the domestic literary world.

He Ping's establishment of the Revival Literature Award was also considered to have achieved his goal.

The first is to enrich the number of domestic literary awards and the criteria for evaluation. He also emphasized to Liang Yuejin that serious literature must not be allowed to occupy the absolute mainstream of awards, and avoid the suspicion of high and low musical music in several sessions, otherwise the influence of the award will be greatly weakened;

The second is to calm down the previous debate. There is a huge prize that surpasses the times for the Revival Literature Award. Who cares about He Ping and Lu Yao? The facts have proved again that few people really care about the matter of traditional serious literature;

The third is to advertise for the New Era Group with a very cost-effective price. Before the establishment of the Fuxing Literature Award, New Era had many domestic businesses, but its influence in the hearts of ordinary people was relatively weak. Now, the awards were released and the public was paying attention. Not only that, it was a huge opportunity for New Era to expose before and after each award. It took 5 million in two years, but only 100 million in 40 years. Compared with the influence brought by the awards, this amount of money was worth spending.

The successful establishment of the Revival Literature Award was achieved successfully, which made He Ping quite satisfied.

Time has come quickly to 1993, and this year Global Investment has entered a year of harvest.

First of all, at the beginning of the year, Hu Yao Glass, which invested in, chose to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Hu Yao was founded in 1987 and won the large order for Peugeot Automobile Glass in 1989. Since then, he has opened the door to the automotive glass business and has been out of control. As of the end of last year, the total output value exceeded 500 million yuan.

In addition, with Global Investment, a local household, it is not difficult for Hu Yao Glass to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Hu Yao's stock is listed and issued at HK$9.5, and this time it raises a total of HK$245 million.

The opening price on the day of listing was HK$12.3, the closing price was HK$12.8, and the market value was HK$3.3 billion.

For Hu Yao, a glass manufacturing company that has only developed for 6 years, achieving such listing results is almost perfect.

After Hu Yao went public, Wang Wenjing's UFIDA Software was followed. Not only did the company's establishment time besides, but it was also the time for listing.

But unlike Hu Yao Glass, UFIDA Software's listing location was selected on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Today, UFIDA Software has become China's largest management software, ERP software and financial software supplier, and is also the third largest ERP software product supplier in Asia.

More importantly, UFIDA Software's average annual growth rate exceeds 36%, and even among the global enterprise application software suppliers, it is one of the few potential companies.

UFIDA's conditions are best to go public on Amelic's Nasdaq, but unfortunately, many of UFIDA's domestic customers are government agencies, finance, finance, tobacco, electricity...

As the saying goes, success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He. UFIDA Software takes advantage of the opportunity of electronic offices in the domestic government and government agencies to develop rapidly, but because of this, it is because of this that it is impossible to choose to go public overseas with too much sensitive information.

Global Investment also knows this truth well and does not dare to take the blame for the world and encourage Wang Wenjing to go public abroad. He can only choose to go public on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in a low-key manner.
