Here, after testing the depth of the joke zihao, the literary giant Jin Yong said again: "Ahao, now let's get back to the point. Let's talk about your novel..."

Duan Zihao knew that the focus was coming today, so he carefully sounded.

Jin Yong said slowly: "I will look through the "Auntie Qi Tan" you wrote. It is indeed a good novel. Our newspaper also plans to publish this novel. But you have to know that I am a writer, but also a businessman. I need to know if my investment will be rewarded, so I hope you can tell me about your conception of the future of this novel. After all, there are very few novels with this kind of theme. I can't find a few books except "Shushan", so I am very worried about the readers' reaction..."

Duan Zihao had already expected that Jin Yong would say such things, and nodded immediately and said, "Mr. Cha, I understand what you mean! I can roughly introduce to you the conception and purpose of my novel. You may have known that my novel is adapted from my script of the same name. To put it bluntly, my drama was stranded by the TV station. Therefore, I really hope to use this novel to fulfill my wish and let the story in my heart enter everyone's heart."

After hearing this, Jin Yong nodded and signaled to Duan Zihao to continue speaking.

"You just said that you are a businessman, so you will definitely be able to see the potential of my book... Of course, because of the haste time and insufficient writing style, this novel may not be as perfect as you imagined. However, one thing I can be sure of is that the stories I tell must be touching, touching, and let them fall in love with it!"

At this moment, Duan Zihao introduced to Jin Yong the overall conception of "The Legend of the Ancient Sword" and the storyline. Duan Zihao himself is already familiar with this story and is no longer familiar with it. From the script to the novel, he can be said to have put a lot of energy and hard work, and his eloquence is good. At this time, when telling the story, he is definitely very knowledgeable. Jin Yong listened very seriously and did not interrupt Duan Zihao in the middle.

Finally, Duan Zihao finished roughly telling the storyline and creativity of the novel, then looked at Jin Yong, waiting for his evaluation.

Jin Yong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ahao, in my opinion, your story is very good! The plot is touching. Although the final ending is a tragedy, it is very memorable. In addition, this novel subverts the limitations of previous martial arts novels. It is used to package martial arts and martial arts to package romance. It can be said that the grammar is very clever."

In fact, Jin Yong likes to tragic novels. His "The Legend of Condor Heroes" was said to have wanted to write a tragedy. Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu were separated from each other. Xiaolongnu was buried at the bottom of the valley, but they couldn't stand the readers' letters asking to "Little Dragonnu to write to life", and some even threatened him. If Xiaolongnu died, he would set fire to his house, so that he had to call the police while modifying the outline of the story he had originally written, and then "reunite from the bottom of the valley". This turned away the resentment of many readers.

Therefore, Jin Yong regrets that his book failed to become a tragedy. In his opinion, most of the classic works from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad end with tragedy. For example, Shakespeare is most famous for his tragic story "Hamlet", Hugo is most famous for "Notre Dame de Paris", and Jin Yong's favorite "Resurrection"...

Pain can be remembered forever;

Sadness can keep people in their hearts forever.

Thinking of this, Jin Yong had already made a decision. He said: "Overall, your novel is very good, at least it is a breakthrough in creation. There are very few subjects of fairy tales. I hope it can be carried forward. Therefore, I decided that our Ming Pao is willing to publish your novel!"

"Really?". Duan Zihao was overjoyed and thought to himself that Mr. Jin is Mr. Jin, a person who knows the goods!

At this moment, Jin Yong ordered his secretary He Mina to get the same copy for the company's author's contract and hand it to Duan Zihao.

Duan Zihao took it and carefully looked at the signing contract. There are two ways to sign the contract. One is conservative, with how many words are submitted and how much royalties are given per month; the other is open, with the royalties calculated based on the number of newspapers. If you write a good novel and read more people, you can get more royalties.

"How is it? Ah Hao, which one do you choose?!" Jin Yong said with a smile.

"These two contract methods are very good, but they are not suitable for me." Duan Zihao said with a smile.

Jin Yong was stunned, "It's not suitable for you, what do you say? Do you have any objections to the royalties?"

In Jin Yong's opinion, the other party may think that the royalty is too low. After all, he is not an ordinary author and is somewhat famous in the entertainment industry, although he is now banned...

As the female secretary, He Mina couldn't help but say: "Mr. Duan, please forgive me for taking advantage of myself. Don't take yourself too high. Maybe you are really good at acting, so you may not be able to write novels. After all, different things are like different mountains. I hope you can understand this principle."

These words were a bit straightforward, and Jin Yong would not say them in person, but it was the same for the secretary to say them, so he did not stop him.

Duan Zihao smiled slightly, "In fact, I did not come here this time to write a book and earn your company's royalties. On the contrary, I was sending money here."

As he said that, Duan Zihao put a check worth 500,000 on Jin Yong's desk.

Jin Yong and He Mina were both stunned at this moment. They didn’t understand what the hell was doing. They weren’t here to contribute, but they were actually here to give money?

Seeing Jin Yong's expression of confusion, Duan Zihao explained: "That's right, Mr. Cha. Actually, I really hope that your company can publish my novel in the newspaper, but I hope to create a new supplement instead of directly publishing it in the novel column of your newspaper. To put it bluntly, my novel will be published separately in a newspaper, and all the novels I write in the future will also be published in this supplement..."

When Duan Zihao said this, a hot light appeared in his eyes. This light Jin Yong was very familiar with it. When he started his business through novels, he also had this kind of scene. This light was called "ambition"!

Faced with such a young man, Jin Yong smiled faintly and said, "Haha, Ah Hao, I think the suggestion you made needs to be carefully considered and then formulate a detailed plan. As a businessman, you must make plans slowly when doing things, right?"

Duan Zihao smiled: "Are you rejecting me?"

"No. I just think your suggestion is too bold and too risky... This 500,000 is not a small amount, I think you should take it back."

"If it is not 500,000, but 5 million, or 50 million, would you still say such things?" Duan Zihao asked back.

"This..." Jin Yong was silent.

Duan Zihao immediately took out the plan that had been prepared in his arms and said, "I know you are a person who does big things and will never make a decision if I listen to my one-sided words. Therefore, I wrote the plan early in the morning. You can read it first before making a decision."

"Plan?" Jin Yong was stunned again. He didn't expect that Duan Zihao came prepared and seemed to be well prepared.

Jin Yong frowned, took the plan, and looked over carefully.

This plan is very simple and direct.

Therefore, the more Jin Yong looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the more he looked, the more incredible he felt.

Duan Zihao's plan is very simple. I hope to use the distribution channels of Ming Pao to create a DM advertisement called "Dream News", which serially publishes best-selling novels such as martial arts, fairy tales, urban romance, horror science fiction, etc.

These novels are all published for free as DM advertisements, allowing all Hong Kong people to see the story above to attract the other party, and then use the VIP charges in the second half of the novel and newspapers to attract advertisements to obtain benefits.

Simply put, Duan Zihao wants to use the weapon of novels to open up a broad advertising market. According to market research statistics conducted by Duan Zihao, there are more than 6 million people in Hong Kong, and the distribution channels of Ming Pao include about 2 million people. Among them, 60% of the customers will be attracted by the DM ads of "Dream News", which is more than 1.2 million people. These people are undoubtedly the targets of large shopping malls and supermarkets, as well as car dealers, and real estate developers.

In other words, "Dream News" has 1.2 million human resources that can be sold to these merchants, and what they give back to "Dream News" is millions of advertising fees every year... In the words of Duan Zihao, if the market is developed well, it is possible to make tens of millions a year!

In addition, in the second half of the novel, the profit may be very low at the beginning, but after the reader group is fixed, the income in this area will increase greatly. According to Duan Zihao's "guessment", computer technology will reach something called "Internet" in the future, and at this time, VIP paid novels will become a new situation and trend. They are now just the first batch of people to take the lead...

After reading this simple and shocking plan, Jin Yong had to re-examine the young man in front of him.

Actors, singers, screenwriters, are they still talented people in the business world?

Otherwise, how could such an incredible plan be designed?

How could Jin Yong know that these ideas of Duan Zihao actually came from online novels and DM advertisements in his previous life. In his era, newspapers and media were already in a slump by computer media and mobile media. Few people were willing to spend money to buy any newspapers. In order to attract customers, electronic reading came into being. Some newspapers even designed this kind of DM advertising style newspaper, which was given away and distributed for free, and published various information on it, making profits by selling advertisements, thus forming a new newspaper business.

Seeing that Jin Yong seemed to be moved by his plan, Joke Hao smiled and said, "So now, Mr. Cha, should you make a decision?" He looked at him with bright eyes.

Jin Yong took off his glasses, closed his eyes and rubbed his nose bridge, then opened his eyes and said to Duan Zihao: "Finally, I hope you can impress me with one sentence."

"Simple." said the joke loudly, "You can support a Ming Pao with your own martial arts, and I can support the entire Dream Report with my fairy tale!"

This sentence was like thunder, which shocked Jin Yong, as if he had returned to his energetic entrepreneurial era. So he laughed and said, "Well said it! With this sentence, I agree with you!" After saying that, he stretched out his hand and said, "I hope to cooperate with you and create a new dream reward!"

Duan Zihao smiled slightly and held it up.

Next to him, He Mina looked at Duan Zihao who was shaking hands with Jin Yong, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be full of indescribable mystery or charm.

Just when she was distracted, Jin Yong suddenly turned around and said to her, "From the future, I will leave the matter of founding the "Dream Report" to you. You and Mr. Duan should cooperate well!"

"Ah, what?" He Mina was stunned.

Jin Yong smiled, "What, do you want me to do it yourself? I'm old and I can't do those physical tasks anymore!"

He Mina's pretty face turned red, then she glanced at Joke Hao and said, "Then I'll ask you for advice in the future."

Duan Zihao said: "I dare not take the advice, we should learn together."

He Mina looked at him coldly, feeling a little confused, and she didn't know whether it would be a good or a bad thing to have frequent contact with him in the future.

...

The moment he walked out of the Ming Pao Group Building, Duan Zihao turned around and looked up at the skyscraper rising from the ground, and had the first time he had surging ambitions.

"One day, I will stand at the highest peak of Xiangjiang and overlook the world."

At that moment, Duan Zihao was really mature. (To be continued...)
