The building of "Oriental Daily" has been extremely lively these days. Our newspaper has once again become the sales champion in Hong Kong, which makes the employees very motivated - sales have steadily increased, and with the increase in advertising revenue, the employees' remuneration will also increase accordingly.
It was in this atmosphere that Kang Jianfei stepped into the newspaper office again.
Kang Jianfei walked leisurely towards the elevator, and suddenly a person next to him shouted: "Kang Jianfei, Kang Jianfei is here!"
Kang Jianfei turned around and saw that it was Yun Bo, the young reporter from "Oriental Daily" who had given him directions that day. As if he was seeing the God of Wealth, he rushed towards Kang Jianfei.
Hearing Yun Bo's shout, the newspaper staff on the first floor quickly gathered over and surrounded Kang Jianfei.
"Is this the Kang Jianfei who wrote "Looking for Qin"?"
"So young. I thought Kang Jianfei was at least 40 years old."
"And he is also very handsome, much more handsome than Ni Kuangke."
"Mr. Kang, in Chapter 7, can Xiang Shaolong use Mohist swordsmanship to show off his might?"
"Mr. Kang, can I do an exclusive interview for you?"
"..."
The employees of the newspaper blocked Kang Jianfei's path with their comments and made him extremely annoyed.
It stands to reason that these employees have not seen celebrities before, so they should not come over to watch Kang Jianfei in such a fuss. It’s just that Kang Jianfei is too mysterious and legendary: an unknown guy with unknown origins suddenly made "Oriental" famous with a novel
The Daily News comes back to life, which is like a novel in itself.
What's more, as an employee of "Oriental Daily", Kang Jianfei has brought them very real benefits.
"I've borrowed it, I've borrowed it, please let me go!" With a smile on his face, Kang Jianfei used a lot of strength in his hands, forcing the person in front of him to push away, and squeezed into the elevator.
Kang Jianfei knew very clearly when to be approachable and when to be assertive.
Now that Kang Jianfei is in the limelight, getting together with these ordinary newspaper employees will only weaken the halo of genius on his head. If he is appropriately aloof and aloof, as long as his words and deeds are not excessive, these people will think more highly of him.
.
After struggling to reach the third floor, Kang Jianfei just raised his hand when Yun Bo, who had been following him, knocked on the door of the chief editor's office first.
"Please come in!" Xu Jixin's voice came from inside.
Yun Bo rushed to open the door and reported to Xu Jixin: "Chief Editor, Mr. Kang is here."
"Kang Jianfei?" Xu Jixin didn't even see Kang Jianfei outside the door. He only heard the words "Mr. Kang" and stood up suddenly.
In the past few days, Xu Jixin and Ma Chengkun were waiting for Kang Jianfei every day, fearing that he would submit "Xun Qin Ji" to other newspapers without saying a word.
Kang Jianfei walked in, stretched out his hand and smiled at Xu Jixin: "Editor-in-chief Xu, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are much more energetic."
"Thanks to Mr. Kang." Xu Jixin shook hands with Kang Jianfei and greeted with a smile, "Mr. Kang, please sit down. I thought you weren't coming. What would you like to drink?"
"Please feel free to have a glass of boiled water," Kang Jianfei sat down on the leather sofa and said, "If I don't come today, Editor-in-Chief Xu may not be able to sleep at night."
Xu Jixin winked and told Yun Bo to pour water, pretending to be calm and said: "Mr. Kang is joking."
When Kang Jianfei saw that he didn't take the initiative to ask for royalties, he didn't bother to speak up himself, so he just sat there with his eyes closed and rested.
Just as Yun Bo was pouring the water, Ma Chengkun, chairman and general manager of Oriental Daily, suddenly barged in. Since Kang Jianfei was sitting on the big sofa with his back to him, Ma Chengkun didn't see anyone and anxiously
Asked Xu Jixin: "Uncle Xu, I heard that Kang Jianfei is here, where are the others?"
As soon as Xu Jixin saw Ma Chengkun's anxious look, he knew that today's negotiation would definitely suffer a loss. Although Ma Chengkun was young and promising, he was still too impatient in handling things and did not have much patience.
"Chairman, Mr. Kang is here." Xu Jixin pointed at Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei's face changed faster than the sky in June, and he suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Oh, you are Chairman Ma? I have admired you for a long time, you have always been my idol, you are in charge of a big newspaper at a young age
, he is simply a role model for young people.”
Seeing Kang Jianfei's respectful attitude towards him, Ma Chengkun felt quite relieved and said with a smile: "Mr. Kang is a young talent. His wonderful pen has stirred up Hong Kong. I am also a fan of Mr. Kang's books."
After the two talked nonsense, 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 serializing "Looking for Qin" in "Oriental Daily". You can give me a price for the manuscript fee."
"Okay, Chairman Ma is really brave enough," Kang Jianfei clapped his hands and cheered, "Since you said so, I can't seem too stingy, so I'll give you 500 yuan per thousand words."
When Xu Jixin heard this number, he was so angry that he almost fell down.
Ni Jiji's manuscript fee for "Ming Pao" was only 180 yuan for 1,000 words. Huang Yulang asked Ni Jiji to pay 500 yuan for 1,000 words for writing a novel. That was just hype and not a normal market price.
Ma Chengkun was also slightly angry, but now it was Kang Jianfei who took the initiative. He could only hold back his anger and said: "Mr. Kang, is this royalties a bit too much?"
Kang Jianfei said earnestly: "Well, Mr. Ma, actually I want so much royalties for the sake of Oriental Daily."
Xu Jixin finally saw what it means to confuse right and wrong. He asked for sky-high royalties and actually said it was for the sake of Oriental Daily. It was so shameless!
Ma Chengkun asked with a stiff smile: "How does Mr. Kang think about the newspaper?"
Kang Jianfei explained clearly: "First, I want a royalties of 500 yuan per thousand words, which is just a drop in the bucket compared to the profits made by Oriental Daily in the past few days. Moreover, you can also use this topic to hype up,
To say that my manuscript fee is the same as that of Ni Jiam is because the second Ni Jiam suddenly appeared. By the way, I forgot to tell you two that it has only been a little over a month since I swam from the mainland."
Ma Chengkun and Xu Jixin looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They nodded slightly to each other, indicating that they approved Kang Jianfei's plan.
Ni Ji also traveled from the mainland back then, and Ni Ji also became famous for writing novels. Kang Jianfei and him have too many similarities. In addition, both of them have received a sky-high royalties of 500 yuan for 1,000 words, so it is perfect for them to be hyped together.
The biggest difference between the two is that Ni Jiang is now a famous figure in the literary world, while Kang Jianfei is just a newcomer.
If Ma Chengkun operates properly, then "Oriental Daily" will become a hot topic of public opinion again because of this incident, and Kang Jianfei's own reputation will also soar. It can be said to be a win-win result.
As for Ni Jiang, I'm sorry, he can only exist as a stepping stone for Kang Jianfei to gain fame.
Kang Jianfei continued: "Second, if you give me a manuscript fee of 500 yuan per thousand words, I can guarantee that I will not submit articles to other newspapers within three years, and that "Oriental Daily" will be my first choice for publishing novels within five years."
Ma Chengkun and Xu Jixin are both happy. Kang Jianfei promised to be an exclusive contributor to "Oriental Daily". If you calculate it this way, with the popularity of "Looking for Qin", the remuneration of 500 yuan for 1,000 words is indeed not too outrageous.
How did they know that Kang Jianfei's writing was so terrible that even if he did not promise to write exclusively for "Oriental Daily", he would not be able to write other novels within two years - writing a "Looking for Qin" has already made Kang Jianfei so bad.
Vomited blood.
Just when Ma Chengkun was about to make the decision, Kang Jianfei suddenly said: "But I have a condition. I hope Oriental Daily can advance my entire royalties of HK$750,000. I plan 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 takes this money and turns around and runs back to the mainland, who should we ask for the manuscript?"
"How about five hundred thousand?" Kang Jianfei had been asking for a lot of money just now, but now he suddenly dropped it by one-third to give the other party a feeling of taking advantage.
Ma Chengkun hesitated for a while and asked: "Mr. Kang, are you in a hurry for money? If you need help somewhere, I can do my best."
Kang Jianfei asked, "How about this? I will give you a novel manuscript of 500,000 words first, and you will advance me 500,000 words in royalties."
Xu Jixin was still thinking about it, but Ma Chengkun was much more straightforward. After only hesitating for half a minute, he said to Kang Jianfei: "That's it. I wonder if you have brought Mr. Kang's novel manuscript?"
"Chairman Ma is indeed a man who can do great things," Kang Jianfei said, flattering him for not having to pay for anything, and took out a stack of manuscript paper from his bag, "All the manuscripts worth 500,000 yuan are here."
An hour later, the two parties successfully signed the contract.
Kang Jianfei got a cash check of 500,000 yuan as he wished, and was about to transfer it to the bank when he heard Ma Chengkun say: "Mr. Kang, how about having a cup of tea together?"
"Okay, Chairman Ma invites me. I'm honored." Kang Jianfei stopped.
In the end, the two of them did not go to drink tea, but found a coffee shop to sit down.
The reason why Ma Chengkun politely invited Kang Jianfei to drink coffee was because he felt that Kang Jianfei was very interesting and would definitely become famous in the future.
How many local Hong Kong citizens now struggle all their lives to save 500,000 yuan to buy a house? A mainlander who earns 500,000 yuan in one month after coming to Hong Kong can only be described as a genius.
Although Ma Chengkun is young and impatient, he has one quality that the experienced Xu Jixin cannot compare with, that is, he does not stick to small details and does not care about taking a small loss. Making good relations with Kang Jianfei before he really becomes successful is tantamount to laying the foundation for the future "Eastern"
The Daily added a layer of protection.
When Ni Jiji was just an ordinary editor of a magazine, he also started writing martial arts novels with Jin Yong's encouragement and support. In the end, the friendship between the two became unbreakable, and the Wesley series was only serialized in Ming Pao for more than ten years.
Ma Chengkun is very ambitious. He regards himself as the Jin Yong of the past and Kang Jianfei as the Ni Jiafang of the past!
The two of them were not very acquainted yet, and they did not talk about any work or personal topics. Instead, they chatted in random directions. Anyway, they were just complimenting each other in a false way.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Kang Jianfei suddenly said: "It is 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, "Movies are too risky. A friend of mine invested 1 million yuan to make a movie last year, but it was only shown in theaters for five days and the box office was only more than 3,000 yuan."
Kang Jianfei was disappointed for a while. He was still thinking of investing in a movie with Ma Chengkunla, but now he had to think of another way.
