Zhou Bingkun chose "The Rise of Great Powers". In fact, "The Rise of Great Powers" is a documentary filmed in 2006. It tells the story of the rise of nine countries, including Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Russia and the United States.
process, and also summarized the historical laws of the rise of the country.
With ideas and goals, Zhou Bingkun went to the library to borrow some materials from these countries. When his classmates and professors saw Zhou Bingkun’s behavior, they thought it was Zhou Bingkun who followed the professor’s advice. The professor was very happy and very happy.
A sense of accomplishment.
After consulting the information, lighting up the lamp and working hard on writing the article, Zhou Bingkun finally completed the first chapter in a week.
Thinking that there are eleven chapters to come, Zhou Bingkun feels a little dizzy.
The first chapter, Zhou Bingkun writes about the Ocean Age, which is the opening chapter and Portugal and Spain.
In the days that followed, Zhou Bingkun accelerated the process and completed the next eleven chapters within one and a half months, and then mailed it to the National Daily in Beijing.
Zhou Bingkun also thought about posting directly to the local newspaper in Jichun, Jiangliao. However, he was worried that the local newspaper was not very well-known and would not be conducive to dissemination. After much deliberation, he chose the No. 1 major newspaper, the National Daily.
In fact, when Zhou Bingkun voted for "The Rise of Great Powers" to the National Daily, he did so with trepidation. He really didn't know how this newspaper operated, so he could only try his luck.
Even if "The Rise of a Great Power" is not adopted by the National Daily, Zhou Bingkun will not make any mistakes if he chooses another newspaper.
...
Beijing, National Daily.
The deputy editor came to the editor-in-chief's office with a copy of the submitted manuscript, "Editor-in-Chief, I received a very interesting article. Come over and ask you to take a look?"
"Oh? For which famous writer's work, you, Mr. Lao Dong, made this trip yourself!" the editor-in-chief joked in confusion.
"It's not a famous person, nor is it an invitation from our newspaper! It's an ordinary college student from Northeast Normal University!" After hearing the editor's joke, deputy editor Lao Dong explained with a wry smile.
Hearing Lao Dong's explanation, the editor-in-chief became even more curious, because as the largest newspaper in the country, it is really rare for ordinary people to dare to submit articles casually!
The editor-in-chief curiously took over the article from the deputy editor-in-chief Lao Dong, and read it questioningly, "Oh, the rise of great powers! Such an awesome topic choice!"
The editor-in-chief, who didn't pay much attention at first, became more and more surprised as he read the text of the article carefully, and gradually became shocked in his heart.
Seeing the change of expressions of the editor-in-chief, deputy editor-in-chief Lao Dong, who had the same experience, felt extremely happy.
It can be said that the staff of the National Daily are all senior writers. There are very few articles that can surprise them, and articles that can shock them can be said to be rare.
After reading this article in one breath, the editor-in-chief said with emotion, "There have been so many talented people in China since ancient times! Such a good article was written by just a sophomore student! It's really incredible!"
"Yes! The historical facts of this article are relatively accurate, and it basically captures the theme of the rise and fall of great powers." Deputy editor Lao Dong saw the editor's emotion and said with admiration.
"The most rare thing is that this article explores the experiences and lessons of the rise of nine great powers from the special perspective of our people, and provides necessary reference for our country's four modernizations."
"Editor-in-Chief, do you want this article "The Rise of a Great Power" to be on the front page tomorrow?" Lao Dong suddenly made an excited suggestion.
"Old Dong, you are crazy! We are the National Daily, can we act so wantonly? Report it first and use it as an internal reference!" Hearing the suggestion of deputy editor Lao Dong, the editor-in-chief widened his eyes in shock and looked at
The old director in front of me, who was originally the most stable old comrade, actually had such a crazy side.
Regarding this article "The Rise of Great Powers", seeing the editor-in-chief's mature and prudent approach, deputy editor-in-chief Lao Dong sighed in admiration. It is indeed necessary for such an excellent article to be handed over to internal reference.
"In this case, this article "The Rise of Great Powers" may never be published publicly again. The remuneration..." Lao Dong suddenly said in confusion.
"Haha, let's pay this student from Northeast Normal University first! It can be considered as an expression of our National Daily's goodwill!" Upon hearing Lao Dong's doubts, the editor-in-chief said with a smile.
Just like that, something happened that Zhou Bingkun didn't expect. This article, "The Rise of Great Powers", which could bring him both fame and fortune, was directly included in the internal reference.
...
Zhou Bingkun knew that as long as he submitted his article "The Rise of Great Powers", he would have to wait for a while.
Unexpectedly, I received the royalties from the National Daily today. It only took three days to complete the payment. Zhou Bingkun was also shocked by the high efficiency of the National Daily.
Zhou Bingkun opened the envelope with great expectations and found that there was only a remittance slip for 1,200 yuan inside. Zhou Bingkun was disappointed again.
My article "The Rise of Great Powers" is such a classic, but I only got this little remuneration, which is too little.
Although in this era, the royalties of 1,200 yuan were already considered a huge sum of money, Zhou Bingkun still felt dissatisfied.
Fortunately, the letter contained the contact number of the National Daily, so Zhou Bingkun went directly to his professor's office and borrowed a phone to call.
"Hello! I'm Zhou Bingkun from Northeast Normal University!"
"Hello! Hello! Excuse me, have you received the payment for the article "The Rise of Great Powers"?"
"Yes, I received it! But there is only one thousand two hundred yuan in it. Is this all the royalties?"
"Uh? Yes!"
"But, this is too little! One thousand two hundred yuan is not even enough to buy milk powder for my child!" Zhou Bingkun suddenly complained.
"Ah? Your child is so good at feeding on milk powder!" The person on the other end of the phone was also shocked. He had been working at the National Daily for so long, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation where he disliked the low remuneration.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Bingkun shook his head in disappointment and left the professor's office under the shocked gaze of the professor.
"This Zhou Bingkun! How many children do you have? One thousand, two hundred yuan is not enough for the children to eat milk powder!" Looking at Zhou Bingkun's leaving figure, the professor, who did not know the cause and effect, also showed a shocked expression.
"Could it be that Zhou Bingkun goes home every day just to give birth to a baby?" the professor wondered in his mind.
...
I really have a lot to do. I need money to build a house for Guangming. My Zhou family also needs money to build a house. I also want to start trying to do business if I apply for an "individual business license" next year. Money is needed everywhere.
When the money comes to use, I will hate the lack of it! The ancients will not deceive me!
Zhou Bingkun went directly to the nearby post office and received the 1,200 yuan remuneration, but he felt melancholy in his heart.
As he rode his bicycle and walked on the street returning home, Zhou Bingkun's thoughts flew far away, thinking about how to make money.
