Chapter 7 Controversy Li Qingquan also just found out that this rice flower...
Li Qingquan just found out that this Daohua is the same Li Daohua, who is a troublemaker.
Young people like Liang Ning are inexperienced in the world, but he is different. He has met all kinds of people. There are few people like Li Daohua, but there are some. It’s just that Li Daohua is more educated than them.
Her writing style has changed so much that I didn't realize that "Undercover" is a standard piece of reform literature, with an uplifting spirit of struggle in its bones.
“She is a new author after all.”
"I've read her new novel, and I personally feel it's even better than this one. It's called 'Dujuan's Entrepreneurship Story.'" Liang Ning added.
Li Qingquan looked at her. Young people still like to act on their emotions. However, her professional ability is unquestionable and she can still tell whether her novel is good or not.
Another one, really fast.
"Well, 4 yuan per thousand words is already very high for a new writer. Didn't you say that they are not well off recently? I will make the decision and approve her manuscript fee in advance. This will not happen again."
The early batch is also good, Liang Ning thought, and felt that this should be a very good result. The Chinese New Year is next month. If the manuscript fee is paid next month, then the Chinese New Year will be too cramped.
Beihang University has already had its winter vacation, and only staff members and a small number of students who have not returned home are left in the school.
Most of the students who did not go home came from rural areas. The cost of a round trip may be more than the cost of staying here for a winter vacation. They cannot study well at home, and they suffer even more on the road.
With fewer students, Ouyang Yuan and his colleagues don’t have to be as busy as before, but they still have to be on duty.
Li Daohua stopped writing and said, "Can you please stop staring at me and do something else, like read a book or a newspaper, or study. Maybe you can even get into university."
Since she started writing the manuscript, Ouyang Yuan, who was at home without a job, kept looking at her and the manuscript, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"I want to too, but I can't control myself and always want to see it." Ouyang Yuan lowered his head. He really didn't mean it.
There was a knock on the door, and Ouyang Yuan stood up quickly: "I'll go open the door!"
When I opened the door, it was Liang Ning. She had been coming here quite frequently recently, and many people in the building knew her. When they saw her coming, they greeted her, "Editor Liang is here."
"Hey, here I come."
Ouyang Yuan asked her to go in quickly, leaving the person who was peeking outside the door.
"Daohua, look, I'm here to give you your royalties! I told the editor-in-chief about your current difficulties, and in order to support your creation, the editor-in-chief approved the royalties for you in advance.
He also told me that if I had any difficulties, I could just ask and we would help as much as we could, so that I could concentrate on my creation.”
Before Liang Ning sat down, he quickly took out the envelope containing the manuscript fee.
At this time, the largest denomination of cash was ten yuan, which was more than one hundred and sixty yuan, and it was also of a certain thickness.
"Thank you so much! Now I can have a good New Year." Li Daohua took the envelope, opened it, and saw neatly stacked cash inside.
Ouyang Yuan was also shocked. He had never seen so much money before. He had just started working and could not save so much, not to mention the daily expenses.
Liang Ning took the tea and spoke carefully: "Daohua, I think your new novel is very suitable for our magazine. Publishing two novels one after the other will be good for you and will make it easier for readers to remember you."
Li Daohua actually hasn’t decided yet where her new novel will go. Or rather, she feels that it doesn’t matter where it goes for now. As a newcomer, she’ll be satisfied if she can just get it published.
Since Liang Ning has spoken, it is fine to publish it in Peking Literature and Art. What's more, Peking Literature and Art is not a small magazine and it still has some influence.
In fact, there is still a lack of talent. If it were in the future, Li Daohua would have been eliminated in the first round with his mediocre skills.
After Liang Ning left, Li Daohua took out the change and put the hundred yuan aside. She planned to save the money to buy a house as soon as possible.
One reason was to take advantage of a good deal, and the other was that the house they lived in now was too small, and it was really depressing to huddle at a small table to write every day.
Just over sixty years old was enough for them to have a good New Year. Not to mention, in this era, people with a regular job would receive gifts during the New Year, so they could save some money.
"Let's go! Let's spend money!" Ouyang Yuan had coupons. They would issue a certain amount of coupons every month, of various kinds, covering all aspects of life, but they were relatively few.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, the supply and marketing cooperatives are packed with people. If you go too late, you won’t be able to buy many things and will have to wait for a while.
Peking is better than other places. The supply and marketing cooperatives are relatively larger, and have a wider range of products, and even some products that do not require coupons. However, there are fewer such items and they are usually more expensive.
The two of them squeezed in the crowd for a long time and then bought some food to go home. Li Daohua wanted to buy other things but she couldn't afford them because she didn't have a ticket.
Soon, amid Li Daohua’s anticipation and others’ anxiety, the new Peking Literature and Art journal was published.
Li Daohua didn't need to buy it because she had a sample issue. Others would pool together to buy a magazine, or wait for the magazines from the library to arrive.
"Hey, this is it, the rice flower one?"
"It should be. I think this name is just unsophisticated."
"You're asking for your life, and you still dare to say something unsophisticated!" The person next to him quickly told the other person to shut up.
"'Li Yaomei's Laid-Off Story'? Is there anyone named Li Yaomei here?"
"I haven't heard of it... just watch it first, and you'll know after you watch it."
This is a short story that can be finished quickly. After reading it, several people looked at each other in surprise.
"Can this be possible?" They were suspicious about what would happen after Li Yaomei was laid off.
Chen Li had been worried that the novel was criticizing her, but she felt relieved after reading it. However, as an employee of a textile factory, she was more interested in the textiles mentioned in Li Daohua's article.
Their textile factory mainly produces cloth, and all the cloth is planned, from color to style to size.
Of course, there is no problem selling the products produced. Not to mention the high quality, even if they are defective, many people will rush to buy them.
But in the article, Li Yaomei later sold her products abroad and earned foreign exchange, which is a glory for the country!
With such doubts in mind, Chen Li was absent-minded the whole day.
After returning home, she discussed with her husband whether what was written in the novel was true and whether these things could really be sold overseas.
Liu Weidong's main point was to spoil the fun: "What does this have to do with you, a little girl worker in a textile factory? How can you be the boss of your factory? Besides, she is a rural woman, what does she know about foreign countries?"
Chen Li was still a little unconvinced by the first sentence, but she really couldn't refute the second sentence.
As the earliest literary magazine to be resumed, Peking Literature and Art has a group of loyal readers, who generally have a high level of education.
They have all read "The Record of Director Qiao's Taking Office". Some of them even wanted to learn the reform methods from it and reform their own factories after reading it.
After reading this, some people wanted to advise their factory managers to learn the above reform methods.
Therefore, when similar works such as "Li Yaomei's Laid-off Experience" appeared, they also watched them with a learning attitude.
After watching it, I felt something was not right. It seemed that it was not meant for those who were on the job, but for those who were laid off.
Meng Heping is leaving Peking today. He is here to study.
During his time in Peking, he felt he benefited a lot. When he returned, he even bought a few copies of "Peking Literature and Art". Their factory was a cotton textile factory, but its efficiency was getting worse year by year and there were too many people overstaffed.
They came to Peking to study not only advanced technology but also management systems.
During this period, there were dispatched students for study. After the vigorous start of reform and opening up, there were more and more such dispatched students for study. As long as they heard that a certain factory was successful, a lot of factories would flock there hoping to learn from its experience.
“The factories in Peking are similar to ours and have many problems, but I think the articles published in Peking Literature and Art are also worth learning from.”
Meng Heping took out the book "The Story of Being Laid Off" and pointed to some of the content in the second half and said, "Look, I think what she said is very right. Characteristics are very important, especially the characteristics of our own country and our own local area.
During my time in Beijing, I also learned that foreigners really don’t like to buy electronic machinery and equipment from us. Our products are not as good as theirs, but they like some small products and daily necessities very much. "
He didn't bring many books back. Two or three people read one book together. The main technical personnel and cadres in the factory read the novel and listened to him.
"What is the characteristic of our Sichuan Province? Pandas. It is also mentioned in the book that pandas are unique to our country and can't be found anywhere else. Let's make this and this..."
A lot was talked about in the meeting, and the more they talked, the more excited this group of people became. They not only talked about the contents of the book, but also came up with a lot of new content on their own, for example, they could do the same with clothes.
They have Shu embroidery, which is, of course, a high-end product, and some not-so-excellent embroidery products that can go the mid- to low-end route.
After finalizing the plan, they planned to make a part of it first to test the waters. There will be a Spring Fair after the New Year, and they plan to bring the product to see how it goes.
In order to ensure that everything goes well, before going to the Spring Fair, he wanted to take his products to visit Daohua, the author of "Layoff Diary".
There are many excellent employees in the factory, especially the older employees. They made their own clothes at that time. Practice makes perfect, and they can naturally do simple embroidery, and some of them are very good at it.
Soon, all kinds of products were placed in front of Meng Heping. After the New Year, they could take these things to visit Li Daohua.
"Li Yaomei's Laid-Off Record", such an obvious reform literature, was soon compared with "Director Qiao's Taking Office Record".
The author of the Record of Taking Office was himself the workshop director of a heavy machinery factory. Although people may criticize the political content in it, they do not have much objection to the reform itself.
The story of layoffs is different. People are targeting the reform itself, thinking that it is not so easy to succeed.
It is shameful for a laid-off worker to engage in capitalism and speculation! It is a fantasy to sell products to foreign countries at will!
Ordinary people just complain in private, but intellectuals will directly write articles to criticize.
"Unemployment Notes, a Poor Imitation"
"Arrogance Seen from the Story of Being Laid Off"
