Chapter 21: Digging the roots: The involution torrent from the web novel era!

A scholar's pen, killing the heart!

There is no need to use fists and feet, Ni Zhen has become a laughingstock in Hong Kong.

This guy ran away in a hurry, and it is estimated that he will not come back in a short time.

Wu Feng can be considered to have vented his anger, and his heart is comfortable and happy.

In fact, Ni Zhen didn't keep pestering Wu Feng's venue afterward, and the Mong Kok Police Station didn't send anyone to raid it again.

However, since this kid took action, he must bear the consequences!

"Wusheng, Ni Sheng passed a message through connections, hoping that we will not continue to target Little Ni Sheng!"

On this day, Liu Wenxiang, the manager of "Mong Kok News" office, reported carefully.

"Heh, then let that kid go for now!"

Wu Feng smiled lightly: "Anyway, that kid has already run away, it's meaningless to keep pestering!"

Seeing Liu Wenxiang secretly relieved, he felt funny.

It was because "Mong Kok News" had already become a trend, and Ni Kuang, the old guy, probably didn't have the confidence to target it.

If it were another small newspaper, would you see if this old guy would still be so easy to talk to?

Wu Feng didn't intend to let go, but there was no need to have a direct conflict with Ni Kuang.

He didn't think that Ni Kuang and Ni Zhen, father and son, would not care about this matter. How could it be?

With Ni Kuang's connections, although he couldn't do anything big, it was not difficult to disgust people.

Wu Feng's idea was very simple. If you want to do it, do it thoroughly and dig up the roots of Ni Kuang, the old guy!

Ni Kuang is the most profitable writer in Hong Kong's novel world at the moment. Not only is his typing speed amazing, but his manuscript fees are also hitting new highs, and it has stabilized at the level of 1,000 to 2,000 per thousand words!

The reason why this guy can become the so-called Four Great Talents of Hong Kong is because of this.

Is the novel he wrote really attractive, and has his writing level reached the level of a so-called talent?

From Wu Feng's perspective, he naturally felt that Ni Kuang shouldn't have such a great reputation.

In his view, to put it bluntly, it was caused by the lack of fierce competition in Hong Kong's entertainment novel world.

If it were in the web novel era, the style of his science fiction novels, where he couldn't round it up in the end and pushed it all to aliens, would be sprayed to pieces!

To deal with Ni Kuang, Wu Feng naturally had a way, and he still borrowed the creativity of a certain novel.

After leaving the newspaper office, he drove directly to Yindu Institution.

After reporting his name, he didn't expect Chairman Liao to receive him personally.

"Wusheng is so young, he is indeed a young talent!"

Chairman Liao was very enthusiastic. After Wu Feng sat down in the chairman's office, he smiled: "At such a young age, he founded a big newspaper like 'Mong Kok News'!"

Wu Feng suddenly realized that Chairman Liao valued the influence of "Mong Kok News."

According to the Hong Kong saying, he can also be considered a small newspaper tycoon at this time.

The propaganda influence of the media industry is huge, and it must be valued by the Mainland's resident institutions in Hong Kong.

Perhaps, he also has "united front value" at this time!

Thinking of this, Wu Feng didn't correct Chairman Liao's Hong Kong-style address, and smiled: "Liao Lao, I came here this time to ask for your help!"

"Oh, let's hear it!"

Liao Lao became interested, and of course didn't say anything to death: "If I can help, my old bones can still move!"

"It's not that exaggerated!"

Wu Feng smiled: "I want to ask you to contact the Mainland's Federation of Literary and Art Circles. My newspaper wants to solicit contributions to enrich the content and attract readers, mainly science fiction and martial arts types. If there are well-written folk stories, that's fine too!"

"You mean, soliciting contributions from Mainland writers?"

Liao Lao was stunned and asked curiously: "How did you have such an idea?"

"The writing style and writing strength of Mainland writers naturally go without saying!"

Wu Feng showed a "helpless" expression and smiled bitterly: "My newspaper has just started, and the funds on hand are not very abundant, so I definitely can't spend a lot of money to ask for manuscripts from famous Hong Kong writers!"

"Hong Kong writers with strength and standards have already become famous. They not only have high manuscript fees, but also have stable cooperative newspapers!"

He continued to explain: "As for those who haven't made it yet, I don't look down on them!"

Seeing Liao Lao hesitate, he said directly: "Liao Lao, if there are well-written manuscripts, my newspaper can collect them at a price of 100 or even 200 per thousand words, and the second tier also has 50 Hong Kong dollars per thousand words!"

"I know the Mainland is very short of foreign exchange. I settle directly in Hong Kong dollars. As for whether the contract authors receive Hong Kong dollars or RMB, they can discuss it with the local Federation of Literary and Art Circles themselves!"

"Wusheng knows the situation in the Mainland very well!"

Liao Lao was very moved, and his eyes looking at Wu Feng were quite strange.

Obviously, he didn't know Wu Feng's specific situation, and he should not have had time to investigate.

"Liao Lao, I have only been in Hong Kong for more than two months!"

Wu Feng smiled lightly and said leisurely: "I have been in the Mainland before, so I naturally understand the situation!"

"I also know that Mainland writers don't look down on popular novels like science fiction and martial arts, and it is estimated that they will feel troublesome to write. I will list rough writing methods and give away related novels that are quite famous in Hong Kong as a reference for Mainland writers!"

"Wusheng has considered it so clearly!"

Liao Lao was surprised and nodded: "Don't worry, I will help contact this matter!"

Things that can earn foreign exchange, I think local Federations of Literary and Art Circles and those writers will be interested, right?

It's not just interested, it's like cold water dripping into boiling oil, completely boiling.

Of course, this is a later story, not to mention for now. After Wu Feng and Liao Lao talked about business, they chatted for a while, and the initial communication was quite pleasant. When he left Yindu Institution, he was in a good mood.

Hehe, when the science fiction and martial arts novels created by Mainland writers arrive in Hong Kong, they will directly roll Ni Kuang, the old guy, to death, letting him feel the horror of involution from the Internet era in advance.

By then, not to mention the Ni guy, even if the founder of "Ming Pao" is still writing novels, he will encounter fierce competition. Even if he can stand out, the influence of his works will be much less than before.

As for the Ni guy, as long as his manuscript fee standard is suppressed and he becomes one of the so-called famous writers, his benchmark role will be abolished, after all, there is not enough influence.

By then, "Mong Kok News" will add fuel to the fire and kick him out of the sequence of the Four Great Talents. It will be much easier to target him in the future.

Ni Kuang didn't know that his good days were coming to an end.

Hearing the news from the "Mong Kok News" office, his unhappy mood finally got a little better.

On this side, Wu Feng took his underlings back to the headquarters, intending to rest well for two days to slow down.

These days of busyness were not easy, but fortunately the final result was quite satisfactory, and his efforts were not in vain.

"Oh, Brother Wu, you are finally willing to come back!"

As a result, on the second floor of the sauna, Guanzaisen came over with a shout, his face full of flattery: "Is there any chance to make a big profit in the short term? Brother, I have been very short of money recently!"

"Don't play this set with me!"

Wu Feng pushed him away, his eyes sweeping over the nunchucks in a handy position intentionally or unintentionally.
