Xiaojianghu Magazine.
The middle-aged man helped the old man into the president's office, and then made two more cups of tea, one for the old man and one for himself.
In fact, the old man has a strong body, not deaf or dazzling, and he rarely sees whiteness of his head.
It's just that the middle-aged man felt an inexplicable depression on the old man, and he stepped forward to help him.
The old man is the old friend Zheng Jie mentioned, named Liang Yuan, who is also the president of Xiaojianghu Magazine.
The middle-aged man named Gu Wei is the editor-in-chief of Xiaojianghu Magazine. I have been in Xiaojianghu for more than 10 years, and I have witnessed the glory of Xiaojianghu, accompanied by the loneliness at this time.
Now, besides his editor-in-chief, Xiaojianghu Magazine has only two editors left.
The remaining two editors actually want to leave, but they are both old editors of Xiaojianghu, and they also have feelings for Xiaojianghu. In addition, the president and editor-in-chief are very kind to them, so they can't bear to leave now. .
However, they also know that Xiaojianghu will not last long. The president has decided to transfer Xiao Jianghu out. If the transfer does not go out, it will only be relevant.
Judging from the current situation, in all likelihood, it is only relevant.
The two editors can only sigh in their hearts, there is no way.
Of course, if there are slightly better submissions, their magazine may still have a ray of life. It's just that their sales of 20,000 or 30,000 copies per issue, and it's still a semi-monthly publication, is obviously not attractive to those martial arts authors who are better.
The manuscripts submitted to them are generally the works of some newcomers. Without receiving good manuscripts, sales are naturally getting lower and lower.
If this vicious circle continues, there is no other way but to close the door.
According to the estimates of the two editors, it is estimated that more than half of the current sales of two to thirty thousand copies of this magazine are bought by old readers who have feelings for this magazine.
After buying it back, it's really hard to tell whether you will read the above story.
This is also one of the reasons why the president Liang Yuan decided to transfer or close the magazine. The old president does not want people to buy his magazine, just because he has feelings for the magazine, not because he likes the above story.
...
In the president's office.
The editor-in-chief Gu Wei took a sip of tea, pondered for a while, and said: "President, several major magazines based on "Great Martial Arts" have engaged in a competition between various martial arts newspapers and magazines. Do you want to... …"
President Liang Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Gu, if we have a good work, it will be a good publicity to participate in the competition. But if we take any work to participate in the competition, it is just going to Just take it for yourself."
Gu Wei sighed after hearing this. Why didn't he know this.
Moreover, this should be the main purpose of these magazines for such competitions.
However, this may also be their only chance at the moment. If this opportunity is missed, it may never be.
After a long time, Liang Yuan sighed and said: "Xiao Gu, I have already published the news of the magazine's transfer. If someone takes over, it will be best. If not, then, publish the last two issues. After the two issues, you, Xiao Liu, Xiao Lin, and others will change places. You are very capable. I know that many magazines have been digging for you recently. It is Xiao Jianghu that drags you down."
After speaking, Liang Yuan sighed again and again, suddenly he seemed a lot older.
Finally, finally came to this step.
Gu Wei felt sour in his heart and whispered softly: "President, Xiaojianghu did not drag us down, it was we who took Xiaojianghu as our home, and we stayed here voluntarily."
After Liang Yuan heard this, he suddenly smiled with relief, only said two "good" words, nothing more.
...
When Li Fan arrived at the provincial bus station, it was almost half past nine in the morning. After leaving the station, he called a taxi and went straight to Wuyi Lane.
An hour later, Li Fan stood at the entrance of Wuyi Lane. First, I glanced at the strangely different buildings on both sides of the alley. Then he locked his gaze on the front, on a very conspicuous sign.
Li Fan nodded in satisfaction, this sign is quite a bit of a murderous air, if you want to laugh proudly, it should be like this in the first place.
Immediately, Li Fan walked over and stepped into the door of Xiaojianghu Magazine.
There were some listless girls at the front desk. Seeing Li Fan coming in, she was slightly taken aback. She didn't seem to expect that a strange young man would come in at this time.
It is estimated that there have been no strangers for a long time, and I walked in from here.
After Li Fan entered the door, he saw the slightly stunned expression of the girl at the front desk, somewhat inexplicable, and frowned slightly.
Only then did the girl at the front desk react and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, sir, what do you want? Since no outsider has been here for a long time, I was a little dazed just now. I'm so sorry.
Uh, the girl said so frankly, it made Li Fan a little smile, really a cute girl.
"I'm looking for your president, is he there?" Li Fan said with a slight smile.
"Yes, yes, please come with me, sir." The girl walked out of the front desk while talking, leading Li Fan into it.
Li Fan smiled and followed the girl in. Well, the figure is still good.
Before coming to an office, the girl knocked on the door and said, "President, a gentleman is looking for you."
"Someone is looking for?" Liang Yuan was stunned, "Could it be...hey! Forget it, it is better to transfer it out than to close it."
Liang Yuan suppressed his complex emotions and said, "Please come in!"
The girl pushed open the door of the president's office and motioned for Li Fan. Li Fan nodded slightly, and then walked into Liang Yuan's president's office.
Seeing someone coming in, Liang Yuan was stunned again, "Why is he so young? Didn't he come to transfer the magazine? So what did he come for?"
Although so many thoughts flashed in his mind, Liang Yuan quickly got up, walked outside the desk, shook hands with Li Fan and said, "I am the president here, Liang Yuan."
Then he gestured to Gu Wei again, and continued: "This is our editor-in-chief, Gu Wei. Brother, please sit down!"
Li Fan first shook my hand with Liang Yuan, then shook hands with Gu Wei again, and then sat down on the sand.
At this time, the sister at the front desk also brought a cup of tea and put it on the coffee table in front of Li Fan.
Li Fan smiled and thanked him, the face of the girl at the front desk blushed, and then she walked out.
Liang Yuan sat back on the chair behind the desk, looked at Li Fan, and said, "I don't know what this little brother is called? What is the purpose of coming here?"
Li Fan nodded slightly and smiled: "President Liang is polite. My surname is Li. I heard that President Liang intends to transfer this Xiaojianghu magazine. I wonder if there is such a thing?"
Liang Yuan heard that the other party was here for the magazine, and all kinds of feelings such as disappointment, gratification, regret and so on appeared in his heart. After a short while, he sighed softly and said: "There is such a time. Does it mean Li Xiaoyou intends to take over?"
Li Fan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I don't know how President Liang intends to change the law?"
Before Liang Yuan could answer, Gu Wei stood up and said, "President, Mr. Li, if you have something to discuss, I will go out first."
Liang Yuan nodded, and Li Fan nodded likewise.
Immediately, Gu Wei nodded towards Liang Yuan and Li Fan, and then left the president's office.
Gu Wei, who came out of the president's office, was puzzled, "Don't this young man know the current operating conditions of the magazine?"
