After listening to some of Cao Zhiqiang’s passionate remarks, the senior leader suddenly slapped the armrest of the sofa and laughed: “You are so young and energetic, not bad, you should be energetic when you are young, this is what young people should be like.

!”

After shaking his head, the big leader once again looked at Cao Zhiqiang with admiration and said: "I don't care whether you can do it or not, just because of your drive to do something, I am optimistic about you.

Yes, yes, no wonder you were able to find me through Silly Pillar. I thought you were going through the back door through me to find yourself a good job or something.

But I never imagined that you were looking for me to do something bigger, which is far more difficult than finding a job."

"If it wasn't difficult, I wouldn't come to you." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "If I were just looking for a job, it would be too easy for me.

To be honest, since I became famous for my poetry writing, many magazines are now begging me to join them. Even the Hongguang Machinery Factory where I currently work is begging me to stay.

In order to keep me here, Hongguang Machinery Factory even transferred me out of the workshop and gave me a very idle job. They even said that they would make me a full-time employee in a few years and make me a cadre in a few years.

.”

"Oh, that's right." The big leader chuckled, "A capable person will shine wherever he goes. Everyone will notice him, and everyone will want to keep him in their hands. It's really normal."

"So, great leader." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "If it's just for myself and for me to live a better life, my followers don't have to come to beg you."

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang said again: "Actually, I'm not afraid to tell you, the senior leader.

Recently, since I became famous, I have not only met a lot of editors and experts, but I have also recently recognized two god-sisters. One of the god-sisters’ father is the secretary to the district chief of Chongwen District, Beiping City, and the other god-sister’s father

, is the leader with real power at the jun level.

If you want to make a name for yourself and make a lot of money, I have plenty of ways and ways to do it.

Apart from anything else, if I wanted to open a magazine affiliated with a certain unit, it would be as easy as drinking water and eating.

There is also a restaurant. I have long bought a front-end house in a good location and hired people from the Peking Design Institute to decorate it. The decoration is almost finished now.

Coupled with Uncle He joining us, my restaurant business will be officially opened in a short time.

However, I have more ambitions, I have more and greater ambitions, and I am not willing to just open a very profitable magazine, or just open a very profitable small restaurant.

I want to set the trend, I want to change the entire publishing world.

I can’t stand the chaos in the current cultural world. I can’t stand the scar literature, reflective literature, and miscellaneous literature from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the West that are everywhere.

What I want is something more positive and progressive.

Either I don’t do it, or I do it, and I just do what Lu Xun was like back then.

No, I not only want to be Lu Xun, I want to do more than him.

Not only do I want to become famous myself, I also want to lead a large number of like-minded people to become famous together, and then lead a more positive cultural trend.

I want to launch a new new culture movement. I want both classics and modernity, and I want a combination of classics and modernity.

In terms of literary creation, I don’t want to be sad about the Spring and Autumn Period, and I don’t want to reflect on the scarred literature of many mistakes in the past. I want to be more positive, more reflective of reality, and more new literature that seeks novelty and change.

In the field of singing, I demand innovation and change, combining classical Peking opera with popular songs, and combining traditional Chinese musical instruments with modern musical instruments to create new individual stars and star groups.

I want the whole world to hear my voice, I want the whole world to see my words, and I want everyone in the world to understand what I am thinking.

I want to be a new generation of young leaders, but also a new generation of cultural changers.

Yes, now is the time.

The spring breeze of reform is the best soil for my survival.

I want to take advantage of this spring breeze to give full play to my youth and talents.

Then, I will use my influence to drive more and more latecomers to play a piece of music for the new era with me!

To put it bluntly, I have great ambitions and want a lot of things, and I will never be willing to just be a rich and famous man.

To do all this, I cannot do it alone. I must have a platform, a platform that is completely under my control and where I can exert my personal influence.

This platform can only be an all-inclusive publishing and distribution platform like a publishing house.

Only by having a publishing house that is completely under my control and allows me to splash ink at will can I realize my ambitions faster and better!

And to do this, after much thought, only you, the great leader, have this ability.

As long as you say hello to the relevant departments, you will definitely allow me to have a publishing house that I have the final say on, so that I can realize my ambitions and realize my dreams as soon as possible.

So, I am here, specifically to beg you."

After listening to Cao Zhiqiang's long speech, the senior leader did not immediately praise him. Instead, he frowned and fell into a long test again.

As the senior leader took the long exam, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Not only the senior leader, but also He Yuzhu looked at Cao Zhiqiang in surprise, obviously not expecting Cao Zhiqiang to say such a thing.

After a full three minutes of silence, the senior leader ended the long test and smiled at Cao Zhiqiang: "Young man, I appreciate your frankness and courage, and of course I also appreciate your ideas and courage.

Not bad, not bad, really good. Nowadays, there are really fewer and fewer young people like you who dare to think and do.

However, what you just said are all your own ideas, or did someone teach you?"

"Of course it's my own idea." Cao Zhiqiang said.

"Oh?" The big leader raised his eyebrows, "I remember your name is Cao Zhiqiang, right? Then I call you Xiao Cao, do you mind?"

"Of course I don't mind." Cao Zhiqiang said quickly.

The big leader nodded, put down the bankbook and receipts in his hands, and sighed: "Xiao Cao, you are talented and dare to think and do. Although you seem a bit arrogant, I think it is very good, very good.

Young people should be energetic, dare to think, dare to do, and dare to fight.

Then, it seems that you are not just a talker.

You can rely on your true ability to make money in just a few months that ordinary people cannot make in a lifetime, and as you said, you will make more and more money in the future.

It is very rare that you have the ability to make a lot of money, you also have the desire to make a lot of money, and you follow the right path and do not engage in crooked ways.

What's even more rare is that after you make money, you don't think about enjoying it for yourself. Instead, you have greater ambitions. You want to use the money to do more things and help more people. This makes me appreciate it even more.

However, have you ever thought that earning royalties from writing articles is completely different from opening a publishing house that you fully control?

When you write articles to earn royalties, what you earn is your own. As long as your talent does not dry up and everyone loves to read what you write, your wealth will continue to flow.

But if you open your own publishing house or even a chain of restaurants, it will be different.

Whether it's opening a publishing house or a restaurant, it all involves management capabilities, which is completely different from writing articles.

Let’s not talk about opening a restaurant, let me talk about opening a publishing house.

Although private publishers are not allowed to operate now, with the reform and opening up, everything is new and changing, so it is not impossible to use you as a pilot.

But the question is, what should you do if you fail? Have you thought about the consequences?

As you said, if you open your own private publishing house, it is a private company model, and you have to pay serious business taxes. The risks are far beyond those of regular publishing houses.

You finally saved five hundred thousand, but once you open a publishing house and lose money, aren't you worried about losing money?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "When you are crossing the river by feeling the stones, there must be a pioneer, and there must be someone who takes the first step. Personally, I am very confident that I can successfully run a publishing house.

Otherwise, in addition to being more passionate and enterprising, I also have better talents than others!"

After a brief pause, Cao Zhiqiang said directly: "To put it bluntly, my works alone can support a publishing house. I can defeat at least half of the poets and novelists in the country, and I can be a catfish.

Let there be a big earthquake in the entire publishing industry and force them to reform!"

"Oh? So powerful?" The big leader smiled and said, "That's not a small tone!"

Cao Zhiqiang said with a serious face: "The tone comes from strength. Only with this strength can I dare to say this."

After a brief pause, Cao Zhiqiang continued: "Big leader, first of all, although publishing houses look at business methods, in the final analysis they still look at products.

What are the products of the publishing house?

Of course it is an excellent work!

As long as my own works sell well, I will soon form a trend and symbol, and become a star writer who is highly sought after by everyone!

If I were just a writer, even if I became a star writer, I would at most make more money.

However, it would be different if I, a star writer, were also the owner of a publishing house.

At that time, I can publish my own works and change the pricing power in the publishing industry.

For example, I can turn the royalty sharing system into a formal method of payment of royalties.

Other publishers don’t dare, or say they don’t want to play with royalty sharing, but I dare.

Once I form the royalty sharing system into a formal payment method for manuscripts, and add my own example, I will definitely attract more outstanding authors to join.

The more excellent authors there are, the more excellent works will be.

The more excellent works you have, the more you will sell and the more money you will make.

If it is based on a share-sharing system, once the writers who join the franchise make more money, the publisher will only make more money.

To put it bluntly, my method is the so-called small profits but quick turnover, win-win cooperation.

At that time, if other publishing houses do not follow me and launch the royalty sharing system, they will wait to be eliminated."

"It makes sense." The big leader nodded.

Cao Zhiqiang continued: "Secondly, the same principle applies to hotel management.
To be continued...
