855, inspection and punishment
After the breakup, the entire high school career was really over. All that was left was the college entrance examination scores at the end of June and the waiting for the college entrance examination admission notice.
However, Wang Bo didn't care much about this.
In the next few days, Wang Bo spent three days carefully proofreading the manuscript of the first "The Past of the Earth" trilogy, which he spent more than a year on, and then sent it to Cheng Wenjin, asking Cheng Wenjin to sign a contract with the Writers Publishing House on his behalf.
Yes, this time he is not going to get "Science Fiction World" or "Mengguo" to serialize it, so he directly let the publisher publish it. Although the editors of these two publishers have had contact with him in the past year and expressed that he had asked him to consider serializing it in his own magazine, the conditions offered to him are also very generous. Wang Bo now has considerable appeal among young people under the age of 25, especially primary and secondary school students, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the first person is. Whether it is the main buyer of "Science Fiction World" or "Mengguo", they are primary and secondary school students. As long as Wang Bo chooses to serialize it in their magazine, it will improve their distribution volume qualitatively.
But after thinking about it, Wang Bo finally refused the invitation from the two editors. Now his power has become stronger and his wings are hardened. He does not need to rely on magazines to borrow power. Instead, the magazine is extremely eager to use his power to increase his subscription volume. But if Wang Bo chooses to serialize in the magazine first, his losses will be great. At least he has read the nearly 500,000 subscribers of "Science Fiction World" in which he serialized the novel. Except for a few fans, others will not buy the new book he released later. "The Past of Earth" is a novel with a total of nearly 300,000 words, and the price will exceed 20 yuan per book. Even if it is 20 yuan, according to the royalty agreement with the Writers Publishing House, he can get at least 3 yuan of royalty per book, and selling 500,000 yuan less is more than one million!
How much manuscript fee can he give if he chooses to serialize "Science Fiction World" in "Science Fiction World"? The manuscript fee for the first few short stories is 200 yuan/thousand words. For a novel of 300,000 words, "Science Fiction World" will only give him a manuscript fee of 60,000 yuan at most! Even if the price is raised by a top-notch writer now, it will not exceed 100,000 yuan!
One hundred thousand to more than one million, which is more important is almost an issue that needs no consideration.
After sending the manuscript to Cheng Wenjin, Wang Bo finally let go of a big thing in his mind. "The Past of the Earth" in the first song of "The Three-Body Problem" took him more than a year, and he was definitely striving for excellence, and the quality surpassed the previous two short stories and middle-class stories. There is no such thing as the first dealer in "Science Fiction World" and the second dealer in "Mengbeng". Wang Bo is very much looking forward to the sales of his new book and the subsequent profits calculated by millions!
As for the second part of "Dark Forest", Wang Bo plans to start writing when he is in college. After working hard for more than a year, it is time to have a good rest now.
Wang Bo thought of his girlfriend Sun Li at the first time, so he called the other party, wanting to see if the other party is free and come out for a meal together. He has been staying at home these days and busy proofreading novels day and night, completely forgot that he still has a girlfriend to contact.
"Lili, are you at home? It's almost noon now, let's go out for a meal together." After the phone was answered, Wang Bo said straight to the point.
"I'm sorry, Zi'an, I... I'm not in all directions." Sun Li on the phone sounded a little hesitant, and the background was a bit noisy, as if she was in the crowd.
"Ah, not in Sifang? Where is it? Rongcheng?" Sun Li's mother was in Rongcheng. Wang Bo was the first to think of where the other party might have gone to her mother.
"Well, at Shuangliu Airport. My mother organized a tour group, a seven-day tour of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and she could take her family. Recently, I... had nothing to do, so I went there." Sun Li said, her voice a little low.
Why don’t you come to me if you have nothing to do? Wang Bo was about to say that he suddenly realized that he had never contacted Sun Li since he had finished the meal. It can be said that he completely forgot the other party. As a boyfriend, this is a kind of dereliction of duty and indifference. A strong self-blame climbed into his heart, and Wang Bo immediately said, "I'm sorry, Lili, the publishing house has been urging me to proofread the new novel. I have been busy proofreading these two days and forgot to call you. When will you come back? I will drive to pick you up when the time comes, okay?"
"It's okay, Zi'an. The important thing is important. I can't say it. I'll call you after I come back from the trip." The girl's voice finally sounded a little lighter.
At this moment, another strange voice suddenly came from the earpiece: "Whose phone number? Get it faster. Change your boarding pass immediately."
"Dad...Dad called." Sun Li was shocked, subconsciously covered the microphone with her hands, walked two steps to the side, and said quickly, "Zi'an, I'll change the boarding pass immediately, I won't say much to you, bye."
"You old man still knows how to care about you?" Sun Li's mother Liu Min showed a hint of disdain on her face, "What did he say to you?"
"What else can I do? Isn't it just a good trip, have fun, and have fun?" Sun Li muttered.
"A good journey? We are taking a plane, not a car, and a good journey. We are doing well all the way - are you old man cursing us?" Liu Min's dissatisfaction became even stronger.
"Mom--" Sun Li finally couldn't stand the sarcasm of her mother and looked at her mother unhappily, "Do you still want to travel? Don't you want me to take the bus back to Sifang immediately."
"Okay, okay! If you don't say you, old man, don't say you, old man! You haven't seen you care so much about me!" Seeing that his daughter changed her face, Liu Min didn't dare to talk to her ex-husband anymore, and began to drag her suitcase and follow the tour leader who was holding a pennant in front.
Sun Li is not in Sifang, Dong Zhen, Jiang Mei, Zeng Ping, and Tian Xin are all at work. Fang You are filming the second advertisement of Mebang according to the endorsement contract. Ma Liting and her cousin Li Junhua are rehearsing the new song "Above the Moon" debuting in the girl group "Legend of Phoenix". Several girls related to him are busy. For a moment, Wang Bo didn't know what to do.
Wang Bo, who didn't know what to do, decided to "go on a tour in a very small way" and inspect his own industry.
So, in the next three or four days, from the sauce factory at home, to five flagship stores in De City, and then to four flagship stores in the provincial capital, Wang Bo went door-to-door to investigate and secretly. Originally out of boredom, he just wanted to pass the time and randomly, but he actually saw a lot of problems. After discovering the problem, Wang Bo did not attack on the spot, but just secretly wrote it down. After touching it all, he fed back the problem to Tian Xin, asking him to train the training, education the education, and expel the education.
Whether it is Tian Xin, Zeng Ping, and her parents, they actually have regular inspections of the family's sauerkrazin factory and nine direct-operated chain stores. However, her parents are not very educated and know nothing about management, and they can't even make any name for inspection. Sister Zeng Ping is relatively soft-hearted and mainly in charge of finance and doesn't interfere with the specific operation work. Tian Xin is fully responsible for the operation of the entire company and is decisive. She has always said that she is the only one among old employees and new employees. However, since this year, Tian Xin's main energy has been focusing on the development of new markets in the provincial capital. Occasionally, she goes to the store to inspect. When the employees in the store see that she, the boss, came over, there are no more people who are not positive and hard-working! Therefore, many times, she can't see any problems, and she is easily fooled by the face of the employees, and one set in person and one set behind her.
Wang Bo is a new face to many employees in his store. During the inspection, he put on makeup, wore glasses and a baseball cap, and even many employees who had seen him did not recognize him. He himself did not send any questions. Even if he found a problem on the spot, he would just record it secretly, avoiding the news between the managers of different stores. Most of the employees of different rice noodle shops did not know each other, but the managers of the nine stores knew each other because the company often organized store managers to study and inspect. The reason why Wang Bo, who discovered the problem, did not expose it on the spot was to avoid leaking the news and bring obstacles to the secret investigation below.
Although it was not a big problem and Wang Bo was a little nitpicking, his feedback still made Tian Xin so angry that he dealt with a group of people as fast as possible. At the same time, he personally apologized to Wang Bo, ensuring that similar problems would never arise in the future.
"Hehe, Xin'er, is it really wrong?" After dinner, he returned to Manguo International Apartment. Facing Tian Xin who apologized, Wang Bo laughed. Since he had dealt with Tian Xin, his name to Tian Xin was also the same as he was so stingy.
"Wrong!" Tian Xin said weakly with his head down.
"If you make mistakes, you will be punished, and if you make merits, you will be rewarded! This is the rule of our 'Sao Zeng Mi Fan'. This time, you are wrong, are you convinced?" Wang Bo looked at Tian Xin with a smile.
"I accept it."
"Then are you willing to accept the corresponding punishment?"
Tian Xin was stunned. Unexpectedly, Wang Bo would punish her. She felt a little aggrieved, but she was also a person who refused to admit defeat. She raised her neck and closed her eyes, looking like she was executed: "I...will!"
"Okay, then I will punish you today...eat bananas for half an hour!"
"Banana? Where did the banana come from?" Tian Xin opened her eyes and asked in confusion. Then she saw the boy in front of her suddenly start to laugh "hehe" with an ambiguous expression on her face. She understood it all at once, and her pretty face turned red, as if it was stained with a layer of blood.
"You... why do you like this trick every time?" Tian Xin, who had a pretty blushing face, glared at Wang Bo with shame and anger.
"Hehe, which move?" Wang Bo continued to laugh.
"Bad guy! I've never seen anyone you are so bad!" Tian Xin began to pinch Wang Bo's waist with his hands.
Wang Bo hid for a few times, cried out loudly, put his hand on Tian Xin's head, and began to press down the woman's head. "Good Xin'er, good Xin'er, half an hour, if we don't eat more, we will eat half an hour, ah?"
"Not to eat! Who...is rare! Besides, you... can you hold on for half an hour?" Tian Xin glanced at Wang Bo with charming eyes, and still squatted down to pull Wang Bo's zipper.
"Hey, underestimate me, don't you? I've been practicing the 'golden/gun/unfalling magical skills recently. Not to mention half an hour, I can get gold/gun/unfalling in half a day. One pillar/Qingtian, you will know it if you try it!"
