After lunch, Wang Shuo left first. He didn't plan to go to the expo. According to what he said, he could just come and take a look at this thing. It wouldn't be interesting to see too much. Moreover, this expo was half-baked.
Nothing to see at all.
Yu Dong and the others finally came here, so of course they couldn't leave easily, so they still went to the exhibition center in the afternoon.
However, they were separated in the afternoon and did not get together.
Yu Dong felt more comfortable walking alone in the exhibition hall. No one knew him, so he didn't need to spend too much energy dealing with others. He could freely and proactively see what he was interested in.
It was not until around three o'clock in the afternoon, when Yu Dong was about to leave the expo to visit Hu Yueming at school, that he met Huang Jie, the person in charge of the Sichuan People's Publishing House at the expo.
In addition to the books they had published, the Sichuan-Shu People's Publishing House's booth also displayed the magazine "Longmen Zhen" edited by their publisher. Yu Dong was somewhat impressed by this magazine, so he stopped and took a look.
The magazine "Longmen Zhen" is not very related to literature, but its content is humorous, witty, and close to life. It is widely circulated in the market. It is different from the "Yangzi Evening News" that Yu Dong bought by mistake before.
The style is somewhat similar, except that the former is a genuine publication of the Eight Classics.
Two colleagues went to other booths to "snoop on military intelligence." Huang Jie stayed alone at the booth. When he saw a young man with outstanding bearing, he smiled and came closer to introduce: "Hello, sir, we are the people of Sichuan and Sichuan.
The publishing house is a time-honored brand, very comprehensive, and covers a very wide range..."
After listening to the other party's introduction, Yu Dong nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I know the reputation of your publishing house. But I am not a bookseller. I just saw your "Dragon Gate Formation" and became interested and came to take a look."
The implication is to ask the other party not to waste time on you.
However, Huang Jie still said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you are a bookseller or not. We welcome anyone to learn about our publishing house and the works we publish. Of course, "Longmen Zhen" is also a publication with local characteristics. Our publishing house
I have always had high hopes for it. Oh, by the way, I am Huang Jie from the marketing department of the publishing house, what do you call me sir?"
Yu Dong looked at Huang Jie, then stretched out his hand to shake his hand.
Huang Jie looks to be in his thirties, wearing a decent suit, and his hair is meticulously combed. His overall temperament does not look like he works in a publishing house, but more like a vendor hanging out in a trade market.
The professional smile on his face is easily reminiscent of the lobby manager in a high-end hotel.
"My name is Yu Dong, nice to meet you." Yu Dong smiled and announced his name.
"In the East?"
Hearing Yu Dong's name, the smile on Huang Jie's face became strange. He stared at Yu Dong's face seriously for a while, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know, Mr. Yu, do you know Yang Xiao from "Science Fiction World"?"
President?"
"You want to ask me if I have published any works in "Science Fiction World"."
Huang Jie nodded sheepishly, "Yes, so you are Yu Dong, the author of "One Day" and "The Second World"?"
"Well, it's me."
After receiving a positive reply, Huang Jie smiled and said: "I didn't expect to meet you here. Sit down quickly and I'll get you a glass of water."
But Yu Dong shook his head, "I have something to do for a while, so I won't sit down. I'm really sorry."
"I understand, I understand, then I won't waste your time any more. Please let me know when you have time to go to Sichuan in the future. I like your works very much. I read few science fiction novels, but you are so good in "Zhongshan" and "Zhongshan"
But I have read both of the two novels published in "Harvest"." Huang Jie praised Yu Dong, and then returned to the topic: "Our Sichuan People's Publishing House is always thirsty for books, Teacher Yu, you are here
If you have any ideas for publishing works in the future, you can contact us. Moreover, our relationship with "Science Fiction World" is also very good, and there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Seeing what Huang Jie said, Yu Dong couldn't help but look at him differently.
Today, many publishers have extended an olive branch to Dongfang, but Huang Jie is the most enthusiastic, active and sincere among them.
Regardless of whether it comes from the heart or is for show, at least his performance makes people feel comfortable. Other publishing houses always have a somewhat condescending taste.
In fact, it is understandable that Yu Dong is a real newcomer when he first entered the literary world. Apart from science fiction, he has only published two novels in magazines.
It is true that the quality of the novel is not bad, but it cannot be said to be the kind of article that is unprecedented and unprecedented and caused a shock in the literary world.
There are many people like Yu Dong who publish one or two novels every year that make people shine, but they may disappear after a year.
Most publishing houses have tasks assigned by their superiors and have some well-known writers they regularly cooperate with, so naturally they don't pay much attention to newcomers like Dong.
Yu Dong would have to contact these publishing houses sooner or later, so Huang Jie, who was eager to take the initiative, would naturally not push it out. He smiled and said: "Okay, I guess I will go to Chengdu soon, and I will definitely go to your company then."
visit."
…
After saying goodbye to Huang Jie, Yu Dong left the exhibition hall, first bought some gifts, and then prepared to visit his teacher Hu Yueming.
At this time, Hu Yueming should not be in the office, so Yu Dong went straight to the apartment where Hu Yueming lived.
Yu Dong was lucky, Hu Yueming was at home at this time.
Hu Yueming was reading the newspaper when he heard someone knocking on the door. He shouted "Here we come" and got up to open the door.
When he saw Yu Dong standing at the door, he pushed up his glasses unexpectedly: "Why are you here?"
"Isn't it because I came to Yanjing and had no place to eat? When it was time to eat, I remembered my master's craftsmanship and came over with a shy face to beg for a meal." Yu Dong raised the things in his hand again, "Hey, I also brought some
Got the meal ticket.”
Hu Yueming stared at the things in Yu Dong's hand and said in surprise: "This Wuliangye is already 40 yuan less now. Why do you bring such good wine?"
"What else can I do? I'll give you a drink." As he spoke, Yu Dong carried his things and walked inside. As he walked, he said, "Where is my wife? I'll say hello to her."
"She went to play cards." Hu Yueming chased Yu Dong, grabbed his hand and said, "Keep the other things. You can take the wine and return it later. How much salary do you have per month? How much do you spend on it?"
Yu Dong smiled and said: "I made some extra money by writing a novel. I just bought it this time, and I will definitely not buy this wine next time. I also finally came back to school to have a drink with you. Didn't you say that before?
Chapter completed!
