Chapter 827 Fairy Tale King
In order to build a library for himself and expand the museum at the same time, Lin Weimin specifically found the leaders of the Ministry of Rites.
The leader of the Ministry of Rites is only the lowest position held by this old comrade. To be able to trouble a leader of this level to come forward means that the relationship is indeed very powerful.
The news about this matter has spread throughout the Yanjing Municipal Government in the past few days.
Lin Weimin did not reveal to Ma Dudu how he had obtained connections in Yanjing City. Ma Dudu only found out the whole story when he had dinner with government officials and was shocked.
Although I have known Lin Weimin for many years, I have long witnessed the strength of Lin Weimin's connections.
But when Ma Dudu thought about the fact that Lin Weimin specifically asked a vice-state leader for help just to build a library, he was still filled with emotion.
When they saw Li Guangfu, they couldn't wait to start spreading the word.
Li Guangfu started his career in decoration and had thought about entering the real estate industry a few years ago, but was ultimately scared by the real estate bubble in 1992 and did not dare to enter the market.
However, in the past two years, his engineering team has been doing very well and is becoming more and more like a regular army. This time, the project of building a new library fell on his shoulders, while the expansion of the museum was handed over to Yanjing First Construction Company.
The museum expansion project was handed over to Yanjing First Construction Company, which was Lin Weimin's way of repaying the municipal government.
Of course, these are just verbal agreements, and the project is still in the early planning stage.
Ma Dudu met with Li Guangfu and just had a brief chat.
Time flies and it is already late August.
Yu Hua was sitting upright in a chair reading a newspaper, with a cup of jasmine tea on the table.
He has lived the life he dreamed of when he was young. He has achieved a rich life by writing novels, has gained considerable fame in the literary world, has no pressure at work, and being late and leaving early is a common occurrence. But he is not happy.
Because his good friend Mo Yan lived a more carefree life than him, which made him very unhappy.
After Mo Yan was discharged from the army, he joined Wenhua Film and Television. At first, Yu Hua felt pretty good about it because he was the editor-in-chief of Tongwen Press, but Mo Yan could only be a small soldier in Wenhua Film and Television. He was called the chief screenwriter, but in fact he didn't have any soldiers under him.
Nothing like him, he has five or six people under him!
But I don't know when all this started to change subtly.
If we have to count, we should probably start from Mo Yan’s recent government-funded trip.
Part of the plot of Feng Xiaogang's new movie "See You Tomorrow" this year needs to be shot in Los Angeles, the United States. After completing the domestic shooting plan some time ago, the crew moved to Los Angeles, the United States. Tong Zhonggui and Mo Yan actually took the opportunity to go abroad at the crew's expense.
The two of them were originally busy writing the script for "Hero". After revising the second draft of the script, Teacher Lin read it and thought it was very good and could almost be finalized. It happened that the crew of "See You Tomorrow" was going to the United States for filming, so Teacher Lin waved his hand and rewarded the two of them with a trip to the United States.
This not only made the people at Wenhua Film and Television jealous, but also made Yu Hua's eyes turn red with envy.
"See You Tomorrow" had to be filmed in the United States, so it was inevitable to use Teacher Lin's connections. It was also because of this relationship that the crew had everything go smoothly in the United States and lived a very comfortable life.
Yu Hua just talked to Mo Yan on the phone yesterday. He asked Mo Yan how he was doing in the United States, and Mo Yan replied: It’s just so-so.
This sentence kept Yu Hua awake for half the night. He also wanted to experience the same treatment.
"What are you thinking about?" Yu Hua was in a daze when he heard a voice in his ear. He looked up and saw it was Vice President Li Xin.
No, actually it’s the president.
The president of Tongwen Press is still Mr. Lin, who basically doesn't take care of things. Li Xin is in charge of the work and is almost equivalent to the president.
"Nothing, just reading the newspaper." Yu Hua answered casually.
Li Xin glanced at the newspaper and saw that the most eye-catching piece of news was "South Korea's Seoul District Court sentences former President Chun Doo-hwan to death."
The fact that a country's leader was sentenced to death was indeed eye-catching. Li Xin thought Yu Hua was paying attention to the news.
Yu Hua looked at him and asked, "How was the conversation going?"
"It's not that easy!" Li Xin sighed.
Some time ago, Lin Weimin gave him a task and asked him to contact Zheng Yuanjie.
Although there were no strict requirements for him, they definitely wanted to bring Zheng Yuanjie into the team of the National Literature Society.
Li Xin felt that he had a great responsibility and took this matter very seriously.
I talked to Zheng Yuanjie twice through my friend, but with little success. Zheng Yuanjie was not interested in the Guowen Society at all, so his behavior was understandable.
In 1985, in order to get rid of the fixed fee of 2 yuan per thousand words, Zheng Yuanjie founded "Fairy Tale King" on his own.
As soon as the publication was published, it was warmly welcomed by readers, and the sales of the first issue reached 100,000 copies.
Three years later, the sales of "The Fairy Tale King" successfully exceeded one million copies.
Zheng Yuanjie is a freelance writer and is not qualified to publish a magazine. "Fairy Tale King" is actually affiliated with the SX Provincial T Committee.
After the publication is successful, part of the profits will be handed over to the SX Provincial T Committee, and his income is still in the name of royalties, but the income level is no longer the same as it was in the past.
Until now, Zheng Yuanjie's annual royalties are calculated in millions. Before the birth of the Bu Lao Hu series, few Chinese writers' royalties or royalties could be compared with his.
In other words, Zheng Yuanjie is not short of money, so when Li Xin came to him to seek cooperation, Zheng Yuanjie was not enthusiastic and was even a little resistant.
After two conversations, Li Xin felt a little discouraged by Zheng Yuanjie's persistent attitude, so he decided to find Lin Weimin to think of a solution.
He chatted with Yu Hua for a few words, then came to Lin Weimin's office. When he saw Lin Weimin, there was a look of shame on his face.
“President…”
Li Xin reported to Lin Weimin about his two meetings with Zheng Yuanjie. Seeing that he looked gloomy and a little frustrated, Lin Weimin smiled and comforted him, "He is not short of money. You always talk to him about income, which is of course not easy."
Lin Weimin's words immediately awakened Li Xin.
He slapped his head and regretted, "Oh, I really lost my mind!"
He said to Lin Weimin again: "Then I will go again..."
Lin Weimin waved his hand and said, "I was distracted by this matter. You can't promise him too generous conditions. Without a basis for negotiation, it's natural that there will be no deal. How about this, you call him and make an appointment, and I'll meet him."
Hearing this, Li Xin's face flashed with shame again.
He failed to complete the task assigned by his leader and had to do it himself, which was a big setback for him.
Lin Weimin looked at his expression and comforted him, "It's okay. This is my responsibility."
The more Li Xin heard Lin Weimin say this, the more ashamed he felt. He nodded and changed the subject, "Then I'll contact him right away."
"Contact him again in a few days, I'll make some preparations." Lin Weimin instructed.
Li Xin didn’t know what Lin Weimin was going to prepare, and it was not convenient for him to ask, so he just said okay and went out.
A few days later, I made an appointment to meet Zheng Yuanjie in a cafe.
Lin Weimin walked into the coffee shop and looked around, but did not see the middle-aged man with a bald head. Then he saw a man with a crew cut waving at him.
He looked closely and found that it was Zheng Yuanjie with hair. You know what, with the black hair, he really didn't recognize him.
"Teacher Lin, I really like your Spirited Away."
When Zheng Yuanjie saw Lin Weimin, he greeted him warmly, and the two shook hands and sat down.
After ordering a cup of coffee, the two started chatting.
Zheng Yuanjie does not have any formal identity, but he is a very busy man, mainly because of the serialization of "Fairy Tale King". This publication has been published for eleven years, and all the serialized works were completed by Zheng Yuanjie alone. Therefore, he can take time out to meet with Li Xin and Lin Weimin many times, which can be regarded as an expression of respect.
The two first chatted about some creative matters, and then talked casually about family life.
Zheng Yuanjie's son just graduated from elementary school this summer. Because his education method was quite different from others since he was young, Zheng Yuanjie's son seemed out of place in school.
This problem has been bothering him for the past two years. Recently, he has been considering whether to let his son continue to go to school. For this reason, he has consulted the opinions of people around him, even the elementary school teacher who mocked him for being a loser.
Meeting Lin Weimin, a high-level writer, he naturally would not let go of this topic and asked Lin Weimin about his views on family education and domestic campus education.
Lin Weimin pondered for a moment and said, "The situation of each family is different. Family education is very important for children, but many families are lacking in this regard. There are subjective reasons, but to a large extent, they are objective reasons. Before the survival problem is completely solved and the living standard has not reached a certain level, talking about family education is disrespectful to the Chinese people."
Lin Weimin expressed his thoughts very objectively without any beating around the bush.
He went on to say: "Every family's situation is different. If you want to completely replace school education with family education, there is nothing wrong with that. After all, your family has the conditions and space for trial and error.
As for the current campus education model in our country, it is indeed more utilitarian and purposeful, which has a lot to do with the national conditions. This is certainly not the best education method in the world, but I believe it should be one of the fairest education methods in the world. "
Lin Weimin's words were concise, clear, and very pertinent. Zheng Yuanjie was thoughtful after listening to them.
"What you said makes sense. I have asked so many people, and most of them would not give me a clear opinion. Only a small number of people advised me that I should still send my children to school for education, but they did not get to the point."
What is the “idea” that Zheng Yuanjie mentioned?
To put it bluntly, he has the right to be willful and has the right to complete his son's education through home education.
He was a writer and earned a lot more than anyone else, which laid the foundation for his educational plans.
Later, the news that Zheng Yuanjie let his son Zheng Yaqi drop out of school and receive home education caused quite a stir in public opinion across the country.
This approach received a lot of criticism at the time. From the perspective of political correctness in public opinion, the criticism Zheng Yuanjie received was foreseeable.
Lin Weimin didn't care about Zheng Yuanjie's decision. It was his private matter. When asked for his opinion, he just answered truthfully.
The two chatted for a few more sentences before getting down to business.
Lin Weimin came up and threw a file bag to Zheng Yuanjie first. He opened it and took a look, and his face suddenly changed.
