Chapter 328

Li Ye and Pei Pei Wencong and others arrived in Island City and were warmly entertained by Dong Dong Yuejin for three or four consecutive days, so warmly that Li Ye couldn't stand it.

So much so that Li Ye couldn't help but smile: "I say Old Dong, is your entertainment for these few days exceeding the standard? We are here to visit friends, not to add trouble to you."

"Looking down on who? What, is it that you think my entertainment for you is too good? Then next time you come, I will serve you pickles directly?"

Dong Dong Yuejin scolded with a smile: "You Seven-Inch Blade are a big rich man, but our magazine is not a poor unit!"

"It's not easy to wait for you two big Buddhas to come over, and you can't eat seafood beautifully? That's not losing my Dong Dong Yuejin's face. Whoever dares to say I exceeded the standard, I will paste it directly on his face."

Li Ye was a bit amused. Compared with the Dong Dong Yuejin two years ago, the Dong Dong Yuejin today has indeed changed a lot.

The style is fuller than before, and the shelf is bigger than before.

After all, Dong Dong Yuejin created tens of thousands of US dollars in foreign exchange income for Blue Sea Publishing House, and the RMB profit is even more, which is no longer the style of the year when he had to squeeze into a hard seat on the train.

It's just that when Dong Dong Yuejin faces Li Ye, the "honesty" in his bones hasn't changed.

In the three days of contact, Dong Dong Yuejin thanked Li Ye and Pei Pei Wencong for their help many times, and very frankly stated: "If I hadn't bet right that time, there would be no today for "New Wind", and no today for me."

Just this sincerity, Li Ye felt that Dong Dong Yuejin could at least surpass many people in the world.

Although it was indeed because of Li Ye and Pei Pei Wencong that "New Wind" magazine went from a dying situation to becoming the leader of popular literature periodicals in the mainland, he, Dong Dong Yuejin, also became a person with a little fame in the mainland literary world from a small editor.

But Li Ye has seen many people who are afraid that others will know that they were helped by others to finally succeed, so as not to affect their persona of "striving for a counter-attack."

Even those who stab in the back are not absent.

After a few consecutive days, Pei Pei Wencong's group took a plane to Chang'an to visit some acquaintances in the Chang'an Film Studio and see the progress of the film and television city project.

And Li Li Dayong, suffering from not being qualified to take a plane, could only say goodbye to Pei Pei Wenhui, and returned to Qingshui County with Li Ye in a depressed mood.

However, when leaving Island City, Dong Dong Yuejin put a lot of special gifts on Li Ye again, making Li Ye feel a bit embarrassed.

"Old Dong! If you have anything to say, just say it directly. I have a problem, I don't have a short mouth when eating people, and I don't have a soft hand when taking people. If you don't say it, I'm leaving!"

"Then since you said so, I must make a request,"

Dong Dong Yuejin said with a smile: ""Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun of Looking at Home" has been finished, and your "Flying in the North Wind" has also reached the end. When will the new book start? Will you consider publishing it on my side, Old Brother?"

Li Ye said: "I hosted a medium and short story in the school literature society, and I don't have the idea of opening a new book for the time being. Besides, you, Editor-in-Chief Dong, are now calling for followers, and you shouldn't be short of manuscripts, right?"

"Short, yours have always been short,"

Dong Dong Yuejin said: "Now "New Wind" has become a semi-monthly magazine, but it still can't withstand the market demand. The agency has decided to further increase the publication, and each issue will increase the length by 30%."

"Last time you told me about the disadvantages of blind expansion, I sent someone to conduct a detailed market research, and there are really many periodicals that are uneven, and the operation is not good."

"So according to what you said, being prepared for danger in times of peace, I now need well-known authors like you, and need high-quality long-form works to pull sales and expand influence."

The periodicals in the 1980s were blooming, but there were really few that could survive in the end. Although there were various reasons, shoddy production was definitely one of the reasons.

Li Ye thought for a while, but still shook his head: "I have too many things recently, I really don't have time to write a new book, but I can give you two suggestions."

"Then tell me, your vision, Little Brother, is absolutely this."

Dong Dong Yuejin listened to Li Ye's words, and was not disappointed, and gave Li Ye a thumbs up.

He knew that Li Ye was hosting the Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun Literature Society, and also had to go to school, prepare for the debate, etc. A student was busier than him, the editor-in-chief, so it was really inconvenient to force others. Otherwise, why didn't he take the initiative to mention the new book to Li Ye during these three days?

"First, you significantly increase the manuscript fee standard, second, you hold regular essay contests with prizes, and the prize money must not be too low."

Dong Dong Yuejin was stunned for a moment, a bit disappointed, but also thoughtful.

The two suggestions Li Ye put forward were actually not strange, but if he wanted to realize them, he, the editor-in-chief, didn't have the authority.

Although "New Wind" is now operating independently, it belongs to the Island City Blue Sea Publishing House after all. Any financial changes are not something Dong Dong Yuejin, an editor-in-chief, can decide.

And Dong Dong Yuejin felt that Li Ye's "money-only theory" was also a bit simple and rude, and it was not the only way to solve the problem.

But in fact, what Li Ye said was "experience," because those magazine media that survived later were all proving that if you want to attract excellent authors to contribute, you must take out real gold and silver.

Fooling authors into generating electricity for love? And then authors fooling readers? In the end, they will only lose both authors and readers. If you don't go bankrupt, who will?

Of course, if "New Wind" finally went bankrupt, Li Ye would definitely not regret it, but would be happy to hit his heart.

Dong Dong Yuejin is still very capable, and his character is not bad. It would be just right to pull him into the bowl and build a media giant?

Dong Dong Yuejin, who sent Li Ye away, was thinking about Li Ye's two suggestions, but suddenly felt cold for no reason and shivered.

He really didn't expect that the righteous brother Li Ye had already started to hit his idea.

Li Ye and Li Xia Yue drove for most of the day and returned to Qingshui County when it was dark.

This speed was already quite fast, because in the early 1980s, the time limit for the transport company's task from Qingshui County to Island City was three days back and forth.

However, just as Li Ye's car turned onto the road on the west side of the county, he saw his little sister standing on the side of the road waving at him hard.

Li Ye hurriedly stopped the car and opened the window.

Little sister Li Ying said to Li Ye: "Brother, Dad asked me to wait for you here, and told you not to go home now. There are many relatives at home, all waiting for you to come back and help get into the joint venture factory..."

Li Ye asked strangely: "If you want to enter the joint venture factory, shouldn't you look for Grandpa? What are you looking for me for?"

Li Ying shook her head and said: "I don't know, but they are hanging around at home and won't leave, eating and drinking, and complaining that Grandpa doesn't care about family affection..."

Li Ye asked in surprise: "Who has such a big breath? Daring to put on airs with our Grandpa? Grandma didn't say anything?"

Generally speaking, with Li Li Zhongfa's prestige in the entire family, no one had heard of anyone being confused with him.

Even if there were some that Grandpa couldn't talk to, Grandma Wu Wu Juying was not a good person. She was proficient in pointing at the mulberry and scolding the locust, and was specially used to clean up all kinds of people who didn't have long eyes.

"Grandma said something, saying that this recruitment is managed by foreign businessmen, but they specifically named you, a junior, to talk!"

"And I heard Dad and Mom say that two of the old relatives helped us before, so it's really hard to refuse, but some relatives are really treacherous..."

Li Ying counted with her fingers and said to Li Ye: "There is an old aunt, a second cousin grandfather, and a great-uncle from the aunt's side..."

"Okay, I understand. You get in the car first, let's find a place to eat."

After listening to Li Ying for a long time, Li Ye finally understood.

The more these relatives who can't be reached by eight poles, the more they don't have a sense of themselves. They take a little family relationship as an imperial decree, feeling that if you don't help, it's unfilial.

But it is these relatives who are the most difficult to deal with, because they have no bottom line. You can't just beat people out with sticks, right? That would definitely affect Li Li Zhongfa.

On the contrary, those relatives who are close to the Li family and know Li Li Zhongfa well are more sensible and will never do such things that force people.

Now listening to Li Ying, it seems that some relatives who really have grace to the Li family have come, and those difficult ones have followed, which is why it is entangled and difficult to handle.

Li Ye drove to Li Li Dayong's house, but Li Li Dayong said: "Brother, I'll stop in the distance first, and I'll go over to take a look at the situation."

A few minutes later, Li Li Dayong also ran back in a panic, and said as soon as he got in the car: "Hurry up, hurry up, my house is also in this situation."

Li Ye was speechless.

How come those who ask for help are all demon gods? Do I have to hide from you? How big is your face?

Li Ye didn't say anything, turned the car around and went home.

Li Li Dayong saw that the direction was wrong and said: "Brother, what are you doing? You can't talk to them clearly."

Li Ye said coldly: "Li Dayong! If you want to become a manager, you must first learn to refuse, refuse those who think they are right, refuse those messy things, rest assured, some people are offended, they are offended, and not a hair is missing."

While Li Ye was talking, he drove the Volga to the door, deliberately honked the horn, and then asked Li Li Dayong to help move things into the house.

The sound of the car horn attracted people in the Li family courtyard, and several people came out at once.

"Yo, this is Li Ye, right? He has grown so tall in a few days?"

"Isn't it? He has become a big guy. I remember the last time I saw him, he was still stumbling when walking!"

"How much did he buy? It seems that this kid really made money. I haven't seen such thick hairtail fish..."

"This kid doesn't look bad from anywhere... it's just that he's not easy to talk to. Look, he doesn't even call us..."

Stumbling when walking last time I saw me? That was twenty years ago, right? I don't even know you, why should I call you?

And Dong Dong Yuejin sent quite a lot of things. Li Ye and Li Li Dayong moved several times and didn't finish moving.

But the few people around just kept pointing and commenting. Except for a half-grown child who only knew how to lower his head and come to help, the others just tucked their hands into their cotton sleeves, and none of them stretched out their hands.

What's the matter? Is this the attitude of asking for help?

But someone said in a big way: "Eh, Xiao Ye, I am your second cousin grandfather, do you remember me?"

Li Ye raised his head and said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "I don't remember! When you saw me last time, I was still stumbling when walking. How can a two-year-old child remember?"

The second cousin grandfather was stunned for a moment, a bit embarrassed, but immediately took out two yuan and stuffed it to Li Ye.

"Here, cousin grandfather gives you New Year's money, remember it now?"

Li Ye looked at the green two-yuan banknote and was stunned.

College students and technical secondary school students in the 1980s are all at the cadre level!

You use two yuan to corrupt cadres?
