Chapter 703: Competition

As the most literary genius on high school campus, Guo Rui's masterpieces have always been classics circulated by everyone in the class, and he is proud of the fact that he naturally can't accept the fact that he was rejected. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As an iron-clad rich second generation at the foot of the imperial city, this incident also became a small obsession in Guo Rui's heart at that time.

This time the blow was so big that he no longer dared to submit a manuscript to "Sprout".

The cost of writing "Sprout" is considerable, for most students.

But for Guo Rui, who has a solid family, it is not worth mentioning.

Later, after going to college, this little obsession began to sprout.

So, after Guo Rui got a sum of money from his family, he single-handedly created "Contemporary Literary World"!

At that time, "Contemporary Literary Circle" was just a campus literary magazine, obscure.

After Guo Rui's efforts, the campus journal founded by this college student gradually began to become popular throughout Beijing University.

Not long afterward, with the influence of Beijing University, the sales point of "Contemporary Literary Circle", which bears the title of the first school magazine of Beijing University, has gradually radiated to many surrounding colleges and universities, and then to universities, primary and secondary schools across the country......

In the end, after four years of hard work, what was originally a small campus journal has now become one of the favorite reading materials for all students on campus in China.

Although there is still a big gap between "Contemporary Literary World" and "Sprout" in terms of sales, it is not enough to compare with the above, and more than the bottom.

The original obsession, and now "Contemporary Literary World", has become the starting point and heart of Guo Rui's career.

As the saying goes, where there is a market, there are interests.

Where there are interests, there is struggle.

The original literary dream has gradually dissipated, and Guo Rui, who is now a businessman, is naturally an eyesore to look at the competitor "New Red Studies" with considerable strength.

On the other hand, "New Red Studies", why don't you want to pull out the thorn in the side of "Contemporary Literary World"?

It is also for this reason that when boosting their own morale, the two magazines regard each other as hostile forces.

After a long time, there are some invisible hatreds between each other.

This has led to many internal magazine reviews, and the commentators and editors of the two magazines have changed their tricks to satirize each other in their own publications, and these battles have also become the talk of the industry after dinner.

In the face of the sarcasm of Chang Silin, the editor-in-chief of "New Red Studies", although he was disgusted in his heart, Guo Rui still smiled gently on the surface and said: "Mr. Chang, don't talk about me, aren't you also here to buy books? Don't tell me that you're here for dinner, it's not yet here!"

Chang Silin smiled, he came to the bookstore to buy books, but he just happened to see Guo Rui enter the Xinhua bookstore, so he temporarily moved his mind to follow.

The other person was thin, his eyes were very big, and there was a little suspicion on his face, from the moment he entered the door, he didn't believe that Guo Rui was here to buy books.

Therefore, his black eyes rolled slightly, looked at Guo Rui, and said with deep meaning: "I recently heard that Mr. Guo is very close to Hanhai Media, do you want to buy the serialization copyright of the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"? Mr. Guo is really wealthy, Li Qing's works are sky-high, 31% royalty rate, if it were me, I wouldn't agree." ”

Although Guo Rui wanted to leave the bookstore at this time, he was more worried that after he left, Chang Silin would say something about Li Qing's "Three-Body Problem" from the bookstore staff, he had already been greedy for "The Three-Body Problem" to the extreme, and he often went in and out of Hanhai Media Company in recent days.

He was afraid that Chang Silin would be the first to get to the ground after learning the news, so his heels seemed to be glued to the floor, and he couldn't move, and he replied as if he had seen a move: "It's not right for you to say that, Li Qing's reputation is top-notch, and since the Tang Dynasty Publishing House dares to offer this price, it is naturally not stupid, if it were you, would you do it? As the largest publishing house in China, the Tang Dynasty would not consider this and make a loss-making deal? You are too underestimate Mr. Fang." ”

Chang Silin originally just mentioned it casually, but at this time, when he saw that Guo Rui was in front of him and didn't leave, he was also angry.

However, he has been in the battle for a long time, and he saw a trace of strangeness in Guo Rui's quiet young face, and his heart moved, so he began to look around, and asked seemingly casually: "Oh? It seems that Guo always plans to buy the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" at a royalty rate of more than 30%......

Chang Silin kept talking nonsense, Guo Rui only thought that the other party was farting, and ignored it and said: "That's a good dare, so that Hanhai can have more choices......"

Chang Silin sneered, and was greatly despised in his heart.

Whether it is "New Red Studies" or "Contemporary Literary Circle", although they have their own publishing mechanisms, they rarely involve things such as taking book numbers and publishing novels, and most of them do serialized readings, and the royalty rate is not very applicable to magazine serialization.

So the two didn't even believe a single punctuation mark when they said that the other party wanted to get the publishing rights of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

Chang Silin looked around for a long time, but he didn't see any strange phenomenon, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the enthusiastic discussion of several middle school students who were checking out at the counter of the bookstore.

"It's really an eye-opener, I didn't expect Li Qing's college entrance examination essay to get a full score!"

"Does the world of the Trisolarans really exist?"

"What a magical alien civilization, I don't feel that this is an essay at all, it is more like a novel, and the content of the novel is logical and organized, as if it were a real thing. ”

"Li Qing has written a martial arts novel called "Xun Qin Ji", and recently a tomb robbery novel called "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Essence of the Ancient City" will be listed, hehe, don't look at me so surprised, I am a fan of Li Qing, I have read his songs and novels. Didn't you all like to watch the "Masked Singer" before, and the blind monk in it is Li Qing, you should all know about it!"

Several of the students had shocked expressions on their faces.

"Of course we all know that I still know Li Qing from "The Masked Singer", but what we don't know is that Li Qing actually wrote a novel?"

"Is 'Searching for Qin' Chronicles?Is it sold in Xinhua Bookstore?Where is it?Why didn't I find it?"

"Boss, when will "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Essence Ancient City" be released?"

The students asked a few questions in a row, and the bookstore salesperson who asked them directly was speechless.

In fact, even these salespeople have not read "Xun Qin Ji", and among them, only some people have vaguely heard of this title and know the pen name of Qinglian Sword Immortal.

As for the release time of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: Essence Ancient City", they also don't know anything about it without receiving any news.

At this time, Guo Rui, who was standing on the side, heard the words and conversations of these students, and only felt that his heart sank suddenly.

He looked up nervously, and saw a pair of rat eyes under Chang Silin's thief eyebrows, staring at the group of middle school students who were discussing enthusiastically, his eyes flickering continuously......
