Diva's wife lives next door

Chapter 206 Ordinary Stories of Ordinary People
In the office of Panlu Publishing House, Ding Yulin has been refreshed recently, and treats his employees more amiably.

On the contrary, the president, Gao Yunhan, had a sullen face all day long, as if the sky was about to collapse, and the eyes that he casually glanced over all had a frozen aura.

For more than ten days in a row, Fanlu has been working overtime to review manuscripts.

no way!
This year's Dianqi Chinese website is like a bloodbath, not only increasing its advantages in online literature, but also launching an attack on Panlu's main front, publishing.

"Swordsman" fought a beautiful battle, which made Panlu directly confused.

Of course, Panlu Publishing House is not too worried, because they not only publish novels, but also poetry, prose, and comics, which can also bring benefits.

It's okay for ordinary employees to panic for a while, anyway, their salaries and bonuses are still paid, and it seems to be the same as before.

But the senior management of the publishing house has paid attention to it, especially Ding Yulin and Gao Yunhan.

Because novels are the most profitable, and can create IP, they can be extended and developed in multiple directions and angles, so there must be no loss.

Especially in May and June of this year, profits have declined. Although it was only a little bit, the investment bosses behind it saw the clues and warned them early on that they must pay attention.

The reason for this is because of "Swordsman".

When "Swordsman" came to an end in July, the profit dropped to the lowest in history.

Fortunately, Ding Yulin found two authors in time and vigorously promoted the two books "The Burrow" and "Ode to Joy", which saved the decline.

But both he and Gao Yunhan knew very well that it wasn't that their side was getting stronger, but that the enemy was shrinking.

The serialization of "Swordsman" is over, and there are only 80 words of novels, and only four books can be published.

Otherwise, for a novel with several million words, they would just find four or five traditional literature, and they would still end up losing money.

terrible!

I heard that the major shareholders behind Panlu have already intended to switch to Dianqi Chinese.com.

These capital companies have always aimed at making money with money, and they have no loyalty at all. It is completely normal to have such a move.

It is the nature of businessmen to bet on both sides and grab profits!
But Ding Yulin and Gao Yunhan couldn't abandon Panlu's foundation. Moreover, they had multiple channels and had a deep cooperative relationship with various traditional literature writers. How could they admit defeat!

This is just the beginning. Even if the profits of Panlu Publishing House decline, it is still more profitable than Dianqi Chinese.com.

Take precautions before they happen!
It is necessary to fight back, otherwise, when the Dianqi Chinese website has a firm foothold, there will be big problems in Panlu.

Ding Yulin made a detailed investigation of the online literature and traditional literature market, and immediately suggested to Gao Yunhan to launch an essay solicitation activity and continue to hold high the banner of traditional literature.

The essay competition is not restricted to anyone, as long as it is a novel, everyone can participate.

There are many awards and generous rewards, and it will definitely not lose to the online text market.

The activity has been going on for more than a month, and there is an endless stream of submissions. The average editor of the publishing house has to read more than ten novels every day.

Of course they just look at the beginning and filter out 90.00% of the spam.

If you think the novel is okay, you will continue to read it until you finish reading all the chapters.

After passing the level of ordinary editors, the next step is the editor-in-chief of each category, who will intensively read the works according to military, history, and modern times, and finally determine the selected candidates.

"Yellow Corn"!
"The Style of That Night"!
"Yanjing People in Rizhou"!
"Daily Anecdotes of the Great Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty"!
"The Last Bullet"!
……

More than a dozen novels have been selected from thousands of works, with refined writing and compact plots, all of which are fascinating.

When several editors held a meeting with Ding Yulin, they all said that the essay competition had achieved results, at least they could sleep peacefully before the Spring Festival.

Ding Yulin didn't agree, but told them to continue reviewing manuscripts, and don't miss good works.

Tonight, he read the novels recommended by the editor-in-chief as usual, and now he is reviewing "The Last Bullet".

The novel is a military theme. Seven soldiers sneak into the rear and need to perform a secret mission.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the mission, the other six soldiers either distracted the enemy, or charged into the enemy's formation with explosive packs, just to kill the leader of the enemy and kill the blood for their captain.

One of the fighters was captured by the enemy, and there was only one bullet left in the captain's pistol.

Whether to kill one's own fighter and give him a relief, or aim at the enemy leader to fight for the impossible chance to kill the enemy.

The shooting and fighting in it, and even some military scenes, are described in great detail. It can be seen that the author has a certain level of knowledge, and it is likely that he or his elders have served in the army.

The novel is not bad, but to meet the requirements in Ding Yulin's mind, I always feel that there is something close to it.

Boom!

Someone knocked on the door outside!

"Please come in!"

Ding Yulin's voice was gentle.

"Editor-in-Chief!"

The editor-in-chief came in. He blushed and said, "I have a novel here. Although I haven't finished it, I feel that the writing is very simple. Can you..."

"let it go!"

Ding Yulin smiled and nodded: "It's almost ten o'clock, go back early and rest!"

The editor-in-chief put down the manuscript, gently closed the door and left.

Through the crack of the door, Ding Yulin saw the lights on in the opposite office. Ding Yulin checked his mobile phone, but there was no new message on Weiwei.

It's been more than half a month, this woman must be forced!
Ferocity flashed across his usually gentle face, and Ding Yulin picked up the manuscript that the editor-in-chief had just sent.

"Ordinary World"!
[During February and March in [-], on an ordinary day, the thin raindrops were sandwiched with a little bit of snowflakes, which were drifting down to the earth one after another. 】

[The season is approaching the stinging sting, of course the snow will not stay any longer, and often disappears without a trace before it hits the ground.The cold and long winter on the Loess Plateau seems to be over, but the truly warm spring is far from coming. 】

[In such rainy and snowy days, if there is no urgent matter, people would rather stay at home all day. 】

[Therefore, the streets and alleys in the county town are much less noisy than usual.Shady places in the streets.The snow and icicles left over from winter are eroding under the impact of raindrops, and dirty sewage is flowing everywhere on the flagstone streets.The wind is still cold. 】

[On the empty street, sometimes a countryman walks by occasionally, with a broken felt hat covering his forehead, and a basket of potatoes or radishes on his arm, calling for buyers feebly. 】

[Alas, the city loses all life and loveliness in such days. 】

……

Starting from Sun Shaoping in the compound of the county high school, it describes in detail the hardships of a teenager's life.

But there is still true love in the difficult times. He and Hao Hongmei helped each other, and then separated because of reality, and the ordinary stories of ordinary people slowly unfolded.

Ding Yulin's breathing was short, and he was so absorbed that he completely ignored even the slight beep on his mobile phone.

'Tian Runye' went to the village to meet 'Sun Shao'an' in pursuit of his own happiness, but was seen by his father 'Tian Futang'. Whether the two of them can get together, readers want to know.

But at the end of the manuscript, the plot was broken.

Ding Yulin patted the table, fully understanding the distress of online readers when encountering interruptions.

Damn author!
Why didn't he submit all the manuscripts at once? He wished he could grab this guy whose pen name was 'Bige' and beat him up.
