As the daily newspaper with the largest circulation in Zhejiang and Yue Province, "Qiantang Evening News" has an office area of two floors.
Zhang Xinde's "Essays" column does not occupy the main page, but since ancient times Jiangnan has produced literati, and now there are many people who like freshness and style, so their column usually receives good reviews.
Among all the column layouts, it is not the best, and it is certainly not the worst.
The middle position is the most comfortable.
As soon as Zhang Xindecai entered the big room, a group of editors pointed behind him and looked.
Several younger people stood up and looked around.
Then they saw Shen Huan and Shui Qianyu.
what happened
Everyone looked at Zhang Xinde.
"Come on, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Chu Liuxiang, the author of "A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles"." Zhang Xinde raised his hand in a ceremonial manner and introduced.
I don't read much, don't lie to me.
I am also a college graduate. Do you think I am so easy to deceive
Stop making trouble and invite the real Mr. Chu Liuxiang in quickly!
The thoughts of a group of editors were reflected directly in their eyes, and even Shen Huan and Shui Qianyu could detect them.
"Originally, my little sister suggested that I put some beard on before coming here. This would be in line with the wisdom and compassion of "A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles", which is full of insight into world affairs, and also show that I am not a young man's innocent moaning." Shen Huan said in front of everyone. He spread his hands and said, "But I think it's better to appear in front of everyone like this upright. I am Chu Liuxiang. I'm glad that you like "A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles"."
Hearing this completely different opening statement from others, even the old editor smiled broadly and nodded slightly.
A younger editor gave a thumbs up, "Teacher Chu, you are the best! Even better than "A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles"!"
"You're welcome." Shen Huan happily accepted the compliment, ""A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles" is certainly very good, but I also hope that I can continue to make breakthroughs and write better articles in the future."
It’s true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!
Editor-in-chief Shao Dong, who came out of the office, smiled and shook his head when he heard this.
Judging from his twenty-year editing career, "A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles" is also the top category. It is basically very difficult to surpass such articles.
If a person can write such an article in his lifetime, it is enough to become a famous person.
But Chu Liuxiang is so confident, and coupled with his handsome and energetic face, he completely coincides with the genius in people's minds.
No wonder an editor just called him "teacher" directly. This is also a sign of his recognition.
After passing his thoughts, Zhang Xinde brought Shen Huan to Shaodong. After greeting him politely, Shaodong returned to his office.
To him, such an outstanding young author deserves his attention.
But it's just a medium-sized article. The editor in charge can handle the contract matters, and there is no need for him to take action personally.
Moreover, the "Essays" column is just for doing things steadily and does not ask for wealth at all. No matter how good the article is, will it bring any great benefits to everyone
Therefore, the next work will be completed by Zhang Xinde.
"For an article of less than 5,000 words, our standard fee is about 500 yuan, and we have the right to reprint and publish it in paper media and electronic versions. Do you think there is a problem with this?" He took out the contract , Zhang Xinde explained to Shen Huan.
Shen Huan did not answer first, but carefully read this standard contract and found that there was no exclusive agreement, not even exclusive publication in paper media.
This is normal. It is simply unrealistic to monopolize too much power with just 500 yuan.
There is also the fact that "Qiantang Evening News" is a bank-run newspaper and does not attach much importance to economic interests.
Zhang Xinde also sighed slightly when he saw this. If it were other young people, they would not read the contract and turn their creations into printed works. They would be very happy and would not care about anything else.
Shen Huan's youthful and precocious behavior didn't look like the 16-year-old boy on his ID card just now.
But that's not surprising either.
He should be so mature and steady if he can write articles that can only be written by a middle-aged literati who has gone through years of vicissitudes and has accumulated a certain amount of experience.
"I have no problem here." After a moment, Shen Huan signed his name.
Now you can also apply for an ID card at the age of 16. Shen Huan also applied for it a few months ago, otherwise he would not be able to inherit Grandpa Shen's real estate.
With the ID card, the bank card number and the bound online payment are naturally a matter of course.
Then, Zhang Xinde also stamped and signed his name on behalf of "Qiantang Evening News", and the contract for authorized publication was established.
If it were 30 years in advance, such a thing would not be troublesome at all.
After the author submits the article through the post office and the newspaper adopts it, the author's fee will be settled directly with the post office remittance. As for the identity certificate, bank account, and rights details, there is no such thing.
Nowadays, people have a strong awareness of copyright and law. With such an additional procedure, both parties will feel more at ease.
"Editor Zhang, when are you going to publish the article?" After signing the contract, Shen Huan asked one more question.
"You can do it tomorrow." Zhang Xinde said with a smile, ""A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles" is so excellent, we also hope that readers can see it soon. Teacher Chu, you will definitely become famous!"
After hearing such positive praise, Shen Huan walked out of the newspaper building, feeling a little light-headed.
He lived for more than 20 years in his previous life, but he never published any works. I didn't expect that we would also become literati now!
When he was in a good mood, he naturally swelled up and said, "Come on, Miss Shui, I'll take you to have a big dinner to celebrate!"
Shui Qianyu looked at him with a "you're a fool" expression: "Teacher Chu, the minimum customized package of Baodao King Pai is 268 per person, and the service fee is additional. Are you sure 500 yuan is enough?"
"Ahem!"
Shen Huan's face turned red when she was reminded like this, "Oh, let's do it next time! When I finish the business of the noodle shop, I can ask Uncle Shui to treat us to dinner!"
"I think you still have time to write a few more articles." Shui Qianyu reminded him, "Don't forget, your tuition fees and your living expenses will not be paid in the future."
Shen Huan took a breath of air.
It really is!
In the past, Grandpa Shen had a retirement salary subsidy. Now that he has passed away, although Shen Huan received a funeral fee, it was only 20,000 yuan. According to normal expenses, it can be used up in one year.
However, Shen Huan also has a real estate in his name, so he will not receive subsidies for orphans and poor students.
That is to say
You still have to rely on yourself for everything!

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone^_^
