Rebirth of the Wild Age

In late November, Song Weiyang's hair had grown out, but it still looked too short.

Calling Chen Tao to the office, Song Weiyang asked, "How is the novel going?"

"It's almost finished." Chen Tao said.

"Let me take a look." Song Weiyang said.

Chen Tao sent two manuscripts in a hurry: "There should be 80,000 characters in the grid, and there is still an ending."

Song Weiyang flipped through it, and unexpectedly found that the writing was very smooth. Although the writing style was straightforward, like a journal, it was qualified as a popular romance novel.

"Okay, there's no need to find someone to polish it. Hurry up and finish the ending." Song Weiyang said.

"Do you want to contact the publishing house?" Chen Tao was quite excited. She is also a literary youth, but she only reads romance novels and chicken soup prose. Poetry, philosophy and so on can make her fall asleep, which is a completely different type from Lin Zhuoyun.

Song Weiyang said: "It's too troublesome to contact the publishing house, so go directly to the pirate dealer and print 20,000 copies first. Each province sends a person there, hires local people, and gives the pirated novels to the bookstore for free. By the way, the book also contains It needs to print the legend and folding method of the thousand paper cranes, and then put the trademark of Xifeng Canned Food. Well, it says on the title page, Xifeng Canned Food wishes all lovers in the world to get married.”

"Isn't it officially published?" Chen Tao was a little disappointed.

Song Weiyang said: "If you want to publish, I can help send it to the publishing house. But at the speed of the publishing house, by the time the original version comes out, pirated novels are already flying all over the sky."

Chen Tao smiled and said, "That's fine, as long as it can be published."

Secretary Chen is a rich man, so she doesn't care about the royalties, she just wants to realize her literary dream.

...

More than half a month has passed, and the new factory building is almost completed.

And Guo Xiaolan and Yang Xin also negotiated successfully, and only spent 2.8 million yuan to buy two complete general-purpose canned fruit production lines. In addition, they also provided several redundant splitters, pitting machines and high-temperature boilers. Once these equipments are debugged, the daily output of canned food can be increased to more than 60 tons, and there is no need to find those small factories to join forces.

Yang Xin has made great contributions, and this move can save at least 8 million funds and precious time for the cannery.

You must know that foreign exchange is needed to introduce production lines abroad, and foreign exchange is in short supply in China at this time. If you really go abroad to buy equipment honestly, the US dollar is not easy to deal with first, and the intermediate operation will be very troublesome.

"Chairman, it's a good luck!" Yang Xin said with a smile.

Song Weiyang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Yang, you are a great contributor to the company! By the way, there is no accident in Shanzhou, right?"

Yang Dao said, "What could happen? The Shanzhou Cannery Factory has been shut down for a long time."

"Where's Sea Overlord?" Song Weiyang asked.

Yang Xin said with a smile: "The joint venture between Haibawang and Shanzhou Canned Food Factory is about to be concluded, and the contract may be signed after New Year's Day. Haha, the equipment should have been shipped back long ago, but we have to wait until the Taiwanese businessman sends someone to inspect and accept it." Factories and equipment. I guess, when they sign the contract on New Year’s Day, Taiwan compatriots will visit the canning factory. Hey, why is the canning production line missing? I think they will be so angry.”

"The Shanzhou Cannery is so courageous," Song Weiyang said.

Yang Xin said: "In fact, it's nothing. I only sold two general-purpose fruit production lines, and there are a few food canning lines. Even if the Shanzhou Canning Factory sold all the machines, Taiwanese businessmen can only recognize it by holding their noses." , After all, they are going to invest more than 100 million yuan, so they can't turn their faces just because of a few machines."

These days, it doesn't make sense to do business in China.

Foreigners are unreasonable and do all kinds of things. The Chinese are also unreasonable, making foreign and Hong Kong and Taiwan businessmen dumbfounded.

"Where's Lao Zhang?" Yang Xin asked.

Song Weiyang said: "I'm on a business trip, and the new canned food will be on the market soon."

Zhang Guodong did not contact any distributors. After meeting with Song Qizhi, he took the lead to go to various places to promote.

The two also divided the territory, Song Qizhi was in charge of the north of the Yangtze River, and Zhang Guodong was in charge of the south of the Yangtze River.

The general publicity strategy was decided by Song Weiyang, but the specific implementation plan was formulated by Zhang Guodong. Due to the shortage of manpower and lack of channels, they plan to break through the provincial capitals of the provinces first, and then attract local dealers to come to seek cooperation after opening up the situation in the provincial capitals.

...

Jinmen.

night.

When Geng Zhong squeezed out from the train station, he was already exhausted, so he directly called a taxi to go home.

Geng Zhong is 40 years old this year and is a reporter for "Beyond Eight Hours". He had just returned from Zhejiang Province, and Wanxiang Group was about to go public. Taking advantage of the hot spot, Geng Zhong interviewed Wanxiang's boss, Lu Guanqiu.

Lu Guanqiu is very powerful. In 1985, he was named one of the top ten news figures in the country. When Song Shumin was still struggling with the shareholding system of the winery, Lu Guanqiu had already gone through formal and legal operations to force the local government to give up two-thirds of the shares of Wanxiang Group.

"Beyond Eight Hours" is also very good. The sales volume of this magazine can be ranked among the top five in the country. Popular stories, celebrity demeanor, documentary reports, and key news... everything is included, and it is popular among readers.

Geng Zhong is a reporter who specializes in interviewing celebrities, and Lu Guanqiu also warmly welcomes him when he sees him. Song Weiyang can't fall into his eyes for the time being.

"Dear listeners and friends, it's time to feel the music with your heart again...Xifeng Canned ordered a song "Thousand Paper Cranes", wishing all lovers in the world to get married. Xifeng · Thousand Paper Cranes · Born for Love... Fold a thousand pairs of paper cranes and tie a thousand hearts. According to legend, hearts can meet each other..."

Geng Zhong was tired from the long journey, and was resting his mind with his eyes closed. When he heard the radio, he suddenly smiled: "This cannery is interesting. It advertises by ordering songs."

The driver answered: "Maybe it's because the cans can't be sold. I'm so anxious. I've heard it several times these days. But this song is not bad. I'll know it after listening to it a few more times...My heart, I don't regret it, fold it It's all for you. My tears can't be shed, the burden entangled in dreams and nights..."

The driver sang while talking, and Geng Zhong only thought it was funny.

These days, the advertisements are getting stronger and stronger, and they have exhausted all means, even the radio and karaoke stations.

Among them, the one that impressed Geng Zhong the most was "Fengtian Feilong", a broken company that sells health care products. There is no factory building, no office building, and the products are manufactured by people, and then advertised frantically. In the first year, 1.2 million yuan was invested in advertising, and the profit was 4 million; in the second year, 10 million was invested in advertising, and the profit was 60 million; in the third year, 50 million was invested in advertising, and the profit directly exceeded 100 million.

Geng Zhong wanted to interview the boss of "Fengtian Flying Dragon" many times, but unfortunately the other party advertised high-profile, but he was very low-key and resolutely refused to accept media interviews.

Back home, as soon as Geng Zhong put down his bag, his wife asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Geng Zhong said.

"Then I'll serve you a bowl of noodles." The wife said and went to the kitchen.

Geng Zhongruan collapsed on the sofa, fell asleep after squinting his eyes, and vaguely heard his wife calling him to eat noodles.

"Are you awake?" asked the wife.

Geng Zhong rubbed his eyes, picked up the noodles and ate them.

At this time, the prime time has passed, the 8 o'clock TV series has already finished broadcasting, and the song-demanding program has arrived as scheduled.

In the 1990s, almost every TV station had a "King Station" column, and the lower the level of the TV station, the longer the "King Station" was.

Geng Zhong originally focused on eating noodles instead of watching TV, but the familiar singing voice attracted him.

"A Thousand Paper Cranes" again?

This time there is an MV screen, and there are subtitles on the screen: Canned Xifeng wishes all lovers in the world get married! Xifeng Qianzhihe is born for love.

Geng Zhong thought to himself: This crappy cannery is crazy, no matter how much money is spent on ordering songs, no one will listen to the songs to buy canned food.

What Geng Zhong didn't expect was that his daughter Geng Xiaoyun, who had just entered junior high school, suddenly ran out when she heard the singing, and only called "Dad" before sitting on the sofa and listening to the song attentively.

At the beginning of the MV, there is a beautiful girl in a white dress, pacing back and forth in a room full of paper cranes, sad and lonely. Even though Geng Zhong was 40 years old, he still couldn't help being a little moved, because the girl was so beautiful, and her whole person was so immortal, as if she couldn't eat fireworks.

Soft light filter, a rotten trick used in idol dramas, was amazing in the mainland in the early 1990s.

Even Geng Zhong, a reporter from a best-selling magazine, didn't understand what was going on, only felt that the MV heroine was a little too beautiful.

Everything in the picture, the girl is strolling in the mall and comes to a row of canned food. As soon as he reached out to take it, the other hand also reached out, and the two hands touched together, and the camera zoomed out to reveal the boy's face—also filled with soft light, like a handsome man walking out of a cartoon.

"Wow, Ma Junhao is so handsome!" Geng Xiaoyun suddenly exclaimed.

Geng Zhong asked his daughter: "Who is Ma Junhao?"

"Male lead," Geng Xiaoyun said impatiently, "Don't disturb me listening to the song, I'll ask later."

The content of the MV is very simple. The hero and heroine met each other by chance, changing scenes, and finally when the girl tried on the wedding dress, the boy suddenly fainted, and the girl folded paper cranes for the boy every day to pray for blessings.

A song ends.

Geng Zhong asked again: "How do you know that man's name is Ma Junhao?"

"It's written in the novel." Geng Xiaoyun said.

"What novel?" Geng Zhong asked.

Geng Xiaoyun said: "In the novel "A Thousand Paper Cranes", this song is actually based on a real story. The male protagonist is Ma Junhao, and the female protagonist is Chen Yiyi."

Look at what kind of stupid name Chen Tao chose.

Songs, novels, canned food... Geng Zhong instantly noticed the traces of publicity and hype.

Geng Zhong asked: "Have you read the novel?"

Geng Xiaoyun immediately shook his head: "No, I never read extracurricular books. It was my classmates who told me."

Geng Zhong spread out his hand directly: "Bring the novel."

"Really not." Geng Xiaoyun beat him to death and refused to admit it.

Geng Zhong had no choice but to say: "I won't scold you, and I won't stop you from reading extracurricular books. Hurry up and give me the novel."

"Really?" Geng Xiaoyun couldn't believe it.

"Really." Geng Zhong said.

Geng Xiaoyun immediately went back to the room and brought the novel, honestly handing it to his father.

When Geng Zhong opened the title page, he saw the trademark of Xifeng canned food, and the phrase "Xifeng Thousand Paper Cranes Born for Love". He said, "Is this novel popular?"

"Anyway, our class is very popular," Geng Xiaoyun said, "At first, Peng Yan found it in a bookstore, because the title of the book was the same as the song on TV, so she rented it to read it, and it turned out to be the same story The preface of the novel also said that the song "Thousand Paper Cranes" was created based on a true story. The male protagonist is Ma Junhao, a rich man from Hong Kong City; the female protagonist is Chen Yiyi, a college graduate. They came together through ups and downs In the end, Ma Junhao got terminally ill, which is very tragic."

Geng Zhong asked, "Did you buy this book?"

"Well," Geng Xiaoyun nodded and said, "At the beginning, this "Thousand Paper Cranes" was only available in rental bookstores, and each rental bookstore only had two copies, and you couldn't even buy it in Xinhua Bookstore. After another two weeks, Suddenly it was sold in bookstores everywhere, so I just bought a copy."

Geng Zhong muttered: "This method is absolutely impossible!"

"What?" Geng Xiaoyun asked.

"It's okay, you go to sleep." Geng Zhong said.

In the era when all people read books, renting bookstores is the vane of the pirated book market.

Once a novel is popular, there must be a request from the owner of the rental bookstore to increase the purchase. And what they bought were pirated goods, so pirated booksellers would catch the news and print a lot in the shortest time, and they didn't even bother to do proofreading. Once the pirated booksellers engage in it, it will immediately promote the pirated book market, causing this novel to appear in more than 90% of bookstores in a short period of time.

Geng Zhong lay on the bed with the novel in his hand, and lost interest after reading half a chapter, so he threw it on the bedside table and fell asleep soundly.

The wife returned to the room after taking a shower, thinking that he was too tired, so she didn't bother him, so she picked up the novel and flipped through it. As a result, the more she read, the more addicted she became, and she spent most of the night reading it. When she saw the chapter where the hero Ma Junhao died, she couldn't help covering her mouth and sobbing, wiping away her tears vigorously.

Geng Zhong woke up in the middle of the night and found his wife was crying, he asked concerned: "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Fiction, Ma Junhao is dead." The wife wiped her tears.

"As for it, how old are you?" Geng Zhong was speechless for a moment.

His wife asked: "Old Geng, do you sell Xifeng Thousand Paper Cranes in Jinmen?"

"The paper cranes are folded by themselves," Geng Zhong said.

"I'm talking about canned food, the Thousand Paper Cranes series, which Chen Yiyi in the novel likes to eat the most," said the wife.

"I don't know why." Geng Zhong fell asleep.

(There was only one update yesterday. This chapter is nearly 4000 words, so it’s a bit of compensation.)
