"Don't worry, both of you are talented people! And I, Shi Zhijian, have always cherished talents!" Shi Zhijian said with a smile, picked up the Rémy Martin and topped up the Ni frame, and added a little more Cologne, then put down the bottle and looked at the two.
The person said: "If I remember correctly, both of you have the highest royalties now. How much is a thousand words?"
"One hundred and fifty!" Ni Jian said, "I'm quite satisfied with this price."
"Really? In other words, in addition to continuing to write books, Lao Ni also wants to be the president and manage the newspaper?"
"If possible, I would like to devote myself to the newspaper until my death!"
"Good ambition!" Shi Zhijian raised his glass, "Here, let's have a drink!"
Ni Jiang thought that Shi Zhijian had been persuaded by him, and felt proud. He quickly raised his glass and touched it with Shi Zhijian, took a sip of wine, and then continued: "I don't like to boast, but you can see that I am talented.
! Everyone says that I am one of the four most talented people in Hong Kong! If you let me take care of the newspaper business, I will definitely help you take care of it beautifully. By then, I will surpass Jin Yong's "Ming Pao" and become the number one in Hong Kong!"
Gu Long looked at Ni Jiang's bragging and swearing, and buried his head in drinking with some embarrassment.
They all write novels, and they are usually the best at bragging - there is no need to pay taxes for bragging anyway! As for the so-called management ability, Gu Long really hasn't seen it from Ni Jiji!
In Gu Long's view, what Ni Ji is best at is making up stories with his imagination, drinking red wine, picking up girls, and grinding his teeth, farting and burping while sleeping!
"I believe what you say!" Shi Zhijian said to Ni Jiang with a smile, "But before I appoint you as president, I want to know how you will lead Oriental Daily to break out of the siege and become the number one in Hong Kong?"
"Of course we all need to unite as one and work hard!" Ni Jiang drew the pie for Shi Zhijian, "When the time comes, you will be the boss behind Hong Kong's No. 1 newspaper. Are you powerful? You can also earn a lot of money, and you can count from day to night.
I can’t even count them all, are you happy? Go out and fool around, don’t talk about business, everyone is saying that I am your subordinate among the four talented people, do you care?”
Shi Zhijian smiled: "We'll talk about this later. I want to hear your specific plans?"
"What's the plan?"
"How to run a newspaper?"
"Of course you have to use your mouth! Delegate them to do things. If they do well, they will be given bonuses. If they do not do well, their salary will be deducted!"
"What about other than that?"
"Well, that is - let Lao Xiong and the others write more novels, sell more newspapers, and make money!"
"What else?"
"What else? What else?" Ni Jiang spread his hands, "I know what you said!"
"You've never eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig go away?"
"What do you mean? Are you insulting me?"
"What do you think?"
"Okay! Let's cut it off!" Ni Jiang stood up with a slap on the table.
“Now I’m going to deduct your royalties!”
"Let's make a clean break from now on!" Ni Jiang sat down again and glared at Shi Zhijian, "You are despicable!"
"Both each other!" Shi Zhijian said, "If you choose a day like this to threaten me, you won't be much better off!"
"Ahem, can each of you say one less word?" Gu Long was at the side trying to smooth things over.
"Shut up!" Shi Zhijian and Ni Jiang yelled at Gu Long at the same time.
Gu Long quickly picked up the brandy: "Okay! I shut up, you continue!"
Shi Zhijian looked at Ni Jiang: "If you really want to be the president, I will satisfy you!"
"real?"
"Of course it's true!" Shi Zhijian shrugged, "Because this president is very difficult to do! Not to mention having to work day and night, he also has to work overtime constantly to deal with various emergencies!"
"Don't worry about this. I'm a night owl and can survive very well! Don't you think so, old bear?" Ni Jiang winked at Gu Long.
Gu Long snorted and ignored him.
"Why don't you speak?"
"Didn't you tell me to shut up? What are you talking about? Are you talking about it?" Gu Long gave Ni Jian a small roll of his eyes.
Ni Jiang said sarcastically, "You're quite tempered! I'll bite your tongue first!"
Shi Zhijian didn't have time to laugh with these two guys anymore, and said to Ni Jiang: "Being a president is not that simple. You have to be able to endure hardships and be able to withstand pressure!"
"I can carry it too! Look how broad my shoulders are. Not to mention carrying a newspaper, I can even carry half of the sky!" Ni Jiang patted his shoulders, looking powerful.
"The problem is, if you become president, you will have to give up continuing to create "Wesley"!"
"Why? When Jin Yong was running a newspaper, he could also write novels! Besides, I can write very quickly!"
Shi Zhijian knew this. It is said that Ni Kuang read a lot of books when he was a child. Before he went to middle school, he had read through the four major classics. By the time he was in middle school, he had read many Chinese and foreign classics and developed his rich imagination.
How fast are his hands? He can write 10 pieces of manuscript paper at a time, and he can write 20,000 words a day. It is very easy. He can smoke, drink, and socialize. The best thing is that he writes serials for 12 newspapers at the same time, and writes 12 copies of them.
The manuscripts were clamped on the rope with different clips, and when one company finished writing, he would switch directly to the other. He could finish a 100,000-word novel in 10 days. He continued to write for a total of 35 years. Even when he was sick or drunk, he still had to climb on the table to write.
over.
"I know you are a quick shooter! But Jin Yong is the boss, and he can decide to wear multiple jobs! But you can't, because I pay you a salary to manage the newspaper, not to work part-time!"
Ni Jiang was stunned, "That's understandable! When I take your money, I have to do things for you! Capitalists like you want to treat people like machines!"
Shi Zhijian nodded, "You can say that - do you accept it?"
Ni Jiang nodded reluctantly, "I have pursuits, not just for the little money! If you don't have a part-time job, you won't have a part-time job!"
Shi Zhijian smiled: "Then I can rest assured and let's talk about salary now!"
As soon as he heard about the salary discussion, Ni Jiang immediately became energetic. He drank some brandy and asked, "How much money can you make as a president?"
"Three thousand!"
"Pfft!" Ni Jiang spat out a mouthful of wine and widened his eyes: "What?"
Even Gu Long next to him was shocked and looked at Shi Zhijian in disbelief: "Three thousand? Did I hear correctly? Is it US dollars?"
"No, it's Hong Kong dollars!" Shi Zhijian said seriously, "As the president of Oriental Daily, my monthly salary is HK$3,000! There will be dividends at the end of the year! Holiday benefits are doubled, don't you feel good?"
"How cool!" Ni Jiang was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to touch Shi Zhijian's forehead: "Are you out of your mind? You only offer a salary of 3,000 yuan for someone like me to help you become the president? You
Do you know that I can earn at least 10,000 yuan a month by writing "Wesley"?"
Shi Zhijian nodded, "I know! Everyone says you are a quick shooter, with a hundred and fifty words per thousand. If you write three to five thousand words a day, you can earn tens of thousands in a month! But the problem is that the sales of newspapers are not good now.
, development is difficult! We are all still in the rising stage of our careers. For the sake of our ideals, we can only aggrieve your wallet a little!"
Ni Jiang rolled his eyes, "The problem is that I'm used to earning tens of thousands a month. It's hard for me to make three thousand again!"
"Then just be patient!" Shi Zhijian said earnestly, "Didn't you say that you are very idealistic and really hope that someone will see your ability? Now is your chance. Get a salary of 3,000 yuan to be the president of "Oriental Daily" and spread the word.
How great?"
Ni Jiang looked at Shi Zhijian speechlessly, and suddenly said: "Are you kidding me?"
Shi Zhijian picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "What do you think?"
"How much do you charge Lu Yawen?"
"Two thousand five hundred! Five hundred less than you. You are a talented person. Can I treat you well?"
"She only gets two thousand and five thousand?" Ni Jiang looked surprised and stared at Shi Zhijian, "Is she an idiot? She works so hard for you to help you manage such a big newspaper office, and she only gets so little money in a month?"
"She is not an idiot! As you just said, she is for ideals!" Shi Zhijian said, "Now, you think about it. If you are willing, we will sign an agreement. I will appoint you as the president of "Oriental Daily" every month.
I’ll give you a salary of three thousand yuan, and then you can compete with Jin Yong on behalf of the entire newspaper!"
Ni Jiang was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes, and with a smile, he reached out and patted Shi Zhijian on the shoulder and said: "Wow, I finally tricked you! I was joking with you! Lao Xiong said you have been under a lot of pressure recently, I'm afraid of you
I'm not in a good mood, so I invited you to drink and joke around! Why do I want to be the president? I'm so lazy, I like sleeping in the most, and I'm a night owl at night! Such a comfortable writer's life, even if you let
I don’t even want to be the governor of Hong Kong! Don’t you think so, old bear?”
Ni Jiang hurriedly gave Gu Long a look asking for help.
"If you have anything to do, call me Lao Xiong. If you have nothing to do, just slap my lungs!" Gu Long reluctantly looked at Ni Jiang, who was ogling him, and then said: "Yes, we are all joking with you! He
What qualifications do you have to be the president? He is extremely lazy, ugly, and most importantly, so lecherous! If he were to become the president, wouldn’t he be leaving a legacy for hundreds of years and harming the common people?”
Ni Jiang rolled his eyes and wished he could catch Gu Long and beat him up.
Gu Long picked up another pistachio with his hand and put it into his mouth to taste it. He shook his big head and continued: "So, just think of what he said just now as fart. Now let him go home and let him put it away."
Gong Atonement will help you write a few more articles to report on the foundation stone laying of your project today!"
Ni Jiang was so scolded that he had to force out a smile and said to Shi Zhijian: "Yes, yes! I am suddenly inspired and enlightened, and there are many beautiful words in my head that want to praise the opening of your project! I go first! You
Pay the bill! Say goodbye, no gift!"
Ni Jiang hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists and ran away towards Shi Zhijian.
But Shi Zhijian called him from behind: "Come back?"
"What's the point of your advice?"
"Don't write randomly in the manuscript!" Shi Zhijian said, taking out a manuscript from his body and "write according to the content on it!"
"Uh, why? Don't you believe my writing skills?" After Ni Jiang finished speaking, he looked at the manuscript handed over by Shi Zhijian. After reading it, he was stunned -
I saw it read: Raising 80 million yuan, buying out building materials and having fun! In brackets, the Kowloon Port is about to start construction, and we sincerely invite all building materials dealers in Hong Kong to discuss cooperation!
Ni Jiang was stunned for a long time before he could say something: "Why are you doing this?"
Shi Zhijian filled the wine glass himself, raised his head and said: "Fishing!"
