Chapter 7： Fun Children's Publishing House

Sansheng Village, in the tomato field in front of Li Fan's house.

Li Fan is checking the changes of tomatoes, and he poured space spring water again last night.

Compared with yesterday, today's tomato has not changed much, but this made Li Fan breathe a sigh of relief.

In this way, although the space spring water is magical, it is not too bad for the sky. They won't turn these vanities into real fairy fruits. You can use it with confidence in the future.

Li Fan stood up and just wanted to go back, when he suddenly found that his mother was holding something in her arms, coming back from the weir pond.

"Mom, what are you holding?" Li Fan asked.

When my mother saw Li Fan, she replied from a distance: "The puppies of Wu Niang's family are full of the moon and are giving away. When I saw this thief, I brought one back."

Li Fan was overjoyed when he heard it. He has always liked dogs.

"Enough is a sincere friend of mankind" he agrees.

"Let me see." Li Fan hurriedly greeted him and took the puppy from his mother.

The little guy had just been full moon, his body was round and chubby, his head and tail were dark brown, but his body was white, just like wearing a white coat. The eyes are dark, which really gives people a very elf feeling.

The puppy lay in Li Fan's arms and whimpered happily.

"Mom, let me raise this dog." Li Fan said.

The mother knew that her son had always liked dogs, so she said: "Okay, you can raise it, and I can help you take care of the nursing home in the future."

When Li Fan returned home with the dog in his arms, the more he looked at him, the more he found this little guy cute.

"By the way, isn't there a magic pill in the mall system? I don't know what will happen if I let this guy eat it?"

Thinking of this, Li Fan carried the puppy into the space. His mental body can bring animals in.

When I first entered the space, the puppy in his arms whimpered pleasantly, seeming to like this place very much.

"Master, there is a special kind of aura in the space, which is helpful for the growth of animals. They will instinctively like this place." Xiao Zhou looked at the puppy in Li Fan's arms and explained.

"Really? It's weird that this guy seems to like it very much. If you let it grow up here, I don't know, will it change? Aura, it sounds very high-grade." Li Fan thought so. .

‘Spirit Pill’ requires 50 reputation points.

"Uh, I was excited for a while, but I forgot my current prestige value, and I can't afford a spirit-enlightening pill." Li Fan looked at the puppy in his arms and sighed helplessly: "You little fellow, there is no such thing for the time being Orally."

After thinking for a while, Li Fan said to Xiao Zhou: "Xiao Zhou, I put this little guy in here for a while, and you help me watch it."

"Okay, master, please rest assured." Xiao Zhou also seemed very happy. It's better to be accompanied by a puppy than to be alone.

Since you can't afford Qi Ling Pill, let the little guy stay in the space for a while.

When the space is out, my mom is already cooking dinner, and my dad is back.

"Parents, I'll tell you something. I plan to go into the mountain and lie down tomorrow. I haven't been there for a long time, so I want to see it."

Li Fan has two main plans to enter the mountain tomorrow. One is to go to the mountain and get some wild flowers and fruit trees to be transplanted into the space, otherwise the space will be bare and lifeless, looking uncomfortable.

The second is that this guy is going to try his luck and see if he can find a wild ginseng. Because he found that his savings of more than 20,000 yuan was almost used up. How can he make the first money quickly? The first thing he thought of was wild ginseng.

Wild ginseng generally grows in virgin forests at an altitude of 1000-2000 meters, which is very demanding on the environment. Li Fan didn't report any hope, so he was just trying his luck, because I heard from the old people in the village that some people had found wild ginseng on Baiyun Mountain before.

Hearing that he was going into the mountains, his parents did not object, but reminded him not to go to places where people don't go often, because now the villagers don't hunt anymore, and there are more dangerous animals in the mountains.

…

Provincial capital, in an office building.

A young man with glasses knocked on the door of the president's office with this stack of printed a4 papers in his hand.

"Please come in." A middle-aged man's low voice came from inside.

The young man opened the door and put the a4 paper on the desk in front of the president.

"President, this is a relatively good work we have selected. Please have a look."

The president is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He has a square face and looks a little tired, with thick black eyebrows and a little stubble.

He didn't look at the young man, he was obviously thinking about something.

Just said: "Thanks for your hard get off work, Xiao Liu. It's already off work, so go back and rest soon."

"Okay, President, you also pay attention to rest." The young man walked out after speaking and closed the door gently.

"Oh!" the young man sighed, "still no good works."

The "excellent" works he just sent in are just relative to other works, although they also meet the minimum requirements for publication. But every issue of the magazine is full of such works, and readers will definitely not be happy.

For a magazine, at least one or two excellent works should be the main focus.

His name is Liu Yun, and it has been two years since he came to the magazine.

In the past, their Fun Children's Magazine Publishing House issued "Fun Children", but it was one of the largest circulation magazines for children in the southwest region, with a circulation of more than 300,000 copies per issue.

It is a pity that the circulation in the past year has been lower and lower, and the circulation in the previous issue has been less than 20,000.

The main reason for this is that several authors who have provided for the magazine for a long time were poached by Sunshine Children's Publishing House at a high price.

In the past, Sunshine Children's Publishing House and Quwei Children's Publishing House have always been rivals, and the circulation of the two companies is similar. They have maintained a long-term competitive relationship.

Until a year ago, several authors of Fun Children's Magazine suddenly announced that they would stop writing for Fun Children's Magazine and switched to Sunshine Children's Publishing House.

Among them, Yang Jie, the "Little Fairy King", who was cultivated by the fun children to become famous.

Yang Jie became famous for Fun Children, but after becoming famous, he abandoned his old club and joined Sunshine Children, his rival. The reason, in addition to the high price set by Sunshine Children, seems to be because Fun Children once offended him.

Yang Jie's move was secretly despised by his colleagues.

The media and netizens gave mixed reviews on this matter. Some people think that doing so is really against the principle of being a human being. Some people also said that Yang Jie is understandable in doing this, so she must stay with her old club for a lifetime.

Of course, most of these supporters are fans of Yang Jie. After Yang Jie was named the "Little Fairy King", she also had a lot of fans.

Regarding the comments made by the outside world and colleagues, Yang Jie himself didn't respond at all.

He felt that he had no need to care about those "ordinary authors".

As for what the outside world thinks of him, he never cared.

This sudden accident caught the children by surprise.

Without good fairy tale works, one can only select some relatively good works for publication from a large number of submissions.

The circulation is getting worse and worse.

Sunshine Children's Publishing House was joined by Yang Jie and others. Unstoppable for a while, the circulation is getting higher and higher, the last issue exceeded 800,000 copies, and the distribution range has also covered all parts of the country. Become the publishing house with the largest circulation of children's magazines in the country.

The dregs of the previous competitors and the fun children are not left.

"I hope that the president can find a solution. The best thing is to find an excellent fairy tale writer, who can contribute for a long time." Liu Yun thought this way, but he also knew that it was too difficult.

In the president's office, Tang Quan flipped through the manuscript in hand, "Sure enough, it's still the case, the quality is too average."

There are three days left until the next issue is released, and now even the manuscript is still finalized.

Tang Quan took a sip of water and rubbed his brows, feeling a little tired, "Is it so difficult?"

Over the past year, he and the editor-in-chief Xie Peng have used all their contacts and contacted many fairy tale authors willing to contribute, and it has indeed been supported for a while.

It's a pity that as Yang Jie's reputation grows, no author can compete with it anymore.

Later, those authors gradually stopped contributing to the magazine.

Now, fun children can only find works for publication among a large number of submissions.

Fun Children was founded by Tang Quan, and it was once brilliant.

Now, being so crushed by a rival that was once well-matched, what the opponent relies on is the author trained by his own magazine to become famous.

This made Tang Quan very unwilling.

He did not allow the magazine to go down. It’s just that there are too few good fairy tale works, although occasionally one or two excellent works can be found in a large number of submissions.

But after all, it was a drop in the bucket. For a publishing house, it was too little.

When Tang Quan was having a headache, suddenly his cell phone rang, and when he saw that it was his daughter, he quickly picked it up.

He feels a little guilty about his daughter. He used to be busy with work and cared less about her daughter. Now that my daughter has grown up, she likes to sing, but she still has trouble getting ahead.

Although I have a publishing house, I can't help much.

"Yingying, what's wrong with calling dad?" Tang Quan asked.

"Hey, Dad, I still have a headache about the work." A tall girl in a certain community said to the phone.

"There is one thing, but you don't have to worry about these things, Dad will solve them."

"Well, I believe in Dad, but Dad, I have a fairy tale here. I think it is very good. Let me tell you."

When Tang Quan heard his daughter say this, his heart suddenly warmed. Not to mention the quality, he was content with her daughter's heart.

"Really? Then you say, dad listen."

"The fairy tale's name is "The Tortoise and the Hare"..." the voice of her daughter came through the phone.

Tang Quan's eyes brightened as he listened, and when his daughter finished speaking, he stood up excitedly.

"It's great, my daughter is great, this fairy tale is great. This will definitely be a classic. Daughter, where did you hear it?"

"Hey, how is dad? The story is very good. It was Qingqing told me, she said it was the brother of a student in their class." The daughter explained.

"The elder brother of the student of the love girl?" It was the student and the elder brother again, which made Tang Quan very confused.

He knows Su Qing, and he often sees it before. It's just this girl who went to teach in the countryside not long ago.

"Well, but I don't know the specifics. I have asked Su Qing to ask. I will tell you in detail when that happens."

"Well, daughter, thank that girl for Dad. Dad would like to visit that gentleman if he can."

"I know, Dad, come back soon, I'm still waiting for you to eat."

"Well, Dad will be back now."

Tang Quan did not expect that his daughter would tell him a piece of such a classic work.

"This may be the first line of life for the magazine, and I must seize it."
