Chapter 3036

Huo Dechuan knew that Xu Zhengrong was busy with affairs, so he briefly stated the purpose of his visit. He hoped that the newspaper would publish an article to clarify and correct Fu Qiqiang's comments when the next issue of Express was published.

After hearing this, Xu Zhengrong laughed and said: "This issue of the newspaper just came out of the printing factory this morning. I'm afraid many people haven't had time to read it yet. Your reaction is too fast."

Preacher Hodder: "Editor-in-Chief, I have always been a loyal reader of the Express!"

How could Xu Zhengrong believe his flattery? He just shook his head slightly and said: "Xiao Huo, if the newspaper really does what you said, wouldn't it be damaging its own brand?"

Huo Dechuan quickly corrected: "No, no, no, this is at best a loss of Fu Qiqiang's brand. Not only will it not damage the reputation of the newspaper, it will also make the outside world think that the express newspaper must correct its mistakes and is authentic and credible."

Xu Zhengrong pondered: "The newspaper asked Fu Qiqiang to write an article, and he paid a lot of real money. Not to mention whether his article has the problems you mentioned, but now you want to destroy his brand, in the middle

Do you think it’s appropriate for the newspaper company to bear the losses?”

Huo Dechuan had expected this section a long time ago, and immediately responded: "How much remuneration Fu Qiqiang received from the newspaper, can the editor-in-chief reveal it, and I can consider compensating it to the newspaper."

Xu Zhengrong remained silent. He looked Huo Dechuan up and down, nodded and said, "I heard that you are now doing brokerage business. It seems that a sponsor has paid you to do this."

Huo Dechuan did not deny it, but continued to persuade Xu Zhengrong not to consider economic factors. As long as he did what he suggested, the newspaper would benefit.

Although Huo Dechuan's plan was good, Xu Zhengrong was used to meeting people from all walks of life, so he could not be easily persuaded. He saw that Huo Dechuan was very eager to achieve his goal, so he would not easily succeed in his plan.

meaning.

Huo De heard that Xu Zhengrong did not accept the offer, so he had to take the initiative to quote, starting from 500 and calling all the way up to 2,000. Xu Zhengrong still refused to let go.

At this time, someone from the newspaper came to Xu Zhengrong to review the manuscript. Huo Dechuan was unable to continue the conversation, so he had to stand up and leave.

Although the start was unfavorable, Huo Dechuan was not discouraged. Although Xu Zhengrong did not agree to his request, he did not refuse him flatly.

Huo Dechuan believes that this may be because his bid has not yet reached Xu Zhengrong's psychological price, or because he has other concerns besides economic reasons. However, the profit from this transaction is considerable, and as long as there is room for maneuver, he will not easily

Give up trying.

If the plan fails, Huo Dechuan still has a backup plan.

Since the matter arose because of Fu Qiqiang's article in the Express, it seems possible to solve the problem by going directly to the person involved, in addition to the newspaper office.

Fu Qiqiang is just a pen writer, not an employee of Express News. Of course, he cannot be found here. However, this is not difficult for Huo Dechuan. After a little effort, he got Fu Qiqiang's address from a certain newspaper employee.

Huo Dechuan rushed to the new battlefield without stopping, but this time he did not prepare any gifts.

Fu Qiqiang lives not in the old city of Sanya, but in the new city west of Fenghuangling. The house prices and land prices here are cheaper than those in the old city. Even people like Fu Qiqiang who make a living by writing can still buy a house here.

A self-contained residence.

After Huo Dechuan knocked on the door, the person who opened the door was a middle-aged man with triangular blistered eyes and a mustache. He looked a bit wretched. It was hard to imagine that this man actually made a living by writing articles. But Huo Dechuan had already

Recognize, this is the person you are looking for.

"Mr. Fu, I'm Huo Dechuan. I'm here uninvited today. I have something to discuss, so I'm sorry to bother you." Huo Dechuan handed over his hand and introduced himself first.

Fu Qiqiang didn't know him. Although he was a little confused, he still let Huo De pass in as he was a guest.

Huo Dechuan took out the express newspaper published today and asked straight to the point: "Is this article written by Mr. Fu?"

Fu Qiqiang said: "This is just my humble work. I wonder if you have any advice?"

Huo Dechuan asked: "Then why did you slander Star Island's military operations in the article?"

Fu Qiqiang naturally refused to admit it: "How can there be any slander in the following?"

Huo Dechuan waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I just want to know that if you are asked to write another article and publish it in the Express, the content must be a positive report about Xingdao and clarify the previous untrue statements.

, how much retouching fee do I need to pay you?”

Fu Qiqiang said in astonishment: "It's an insult to politeness, it's an insult to politeness!"

Huo Dechuan advised with an expressionless face: "Elegance also has a price, you might as well negotiate a price first."

Fu Qiqiang shook his head repeatedly, his expression began to become impatient, and he seemed to disdain to continue talking with Huo Dechuan.

Upon seeing this, Huo Dechuan raised his two fingers and began to quote: "Two hundred yuan. I think your fee for writing a front-page review may not be more than this, right?"

Fu Qiqiang just snorted when he heard this, but did not give an answer.

When Huo De heard that he had no intention of expelling him, he was already sure of it. He stretched out his five fingers and said: "Five hundred yuan. This price must be much higher than the fee paid to you by the newspaper, right?

"

Huo Dechuan had worked at Express News before, and he also knew a little bit about the fee market. For writing this kind of special review article, the fee for an article generally ranged from one to three hundred yuan. Those who could get more were rare.

Fu Qiqiang's writing style is quite controversial, and it is unlikely that he will receive a higher remuneration.

Fu Qiqiang finally spoke again: "Is my reputation as a special commentator for Express News only worth 500 yuan in your eyes? You are too contemptuous of me!"

Huo Dechuan smiled and raised the price again: "Eight hundred yuan. Is this a fair price? Eight hundred yuan for an article. No other newspaper in Haihan will give you such a high fee!"

Fu Qiqiang pondered: "Even if Fu is willing to write, he may not be able to pass the review of Express!"

When Huo Dechuan saw that the other party finally relented, he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "One price, one thousand! I know you must have a way to get Editor Xu to approve the manuscript. If you agree, I will pay half immediately and the other half after the article is published in the newspaper!"

"

Fu Qiqiang said slowly: "This matter is really not easy to handle. How about you add more...two thousand! For two thousand, I will handle the matter for you. I will report it to you in the next issue to ensure your satisfaction!"

Now it was Huo Dechuan's turn to be anxious. He suppressed his anger and said: "Mr. Fu, can you tell your conscience that the article you wrote is worth two thousand? For this price, I will hire ten literati to contribute to the Express."

There is still something left, don’t tell me that your integrity is worth a thousand!”

Fu Qiqiang turned a deaf ear to Huo Dechuan's ridicule, and just responded calmly: "Of course the article I wrote is not worth so much. But I can send you a message. I believe the person who paid you to do the work will feel that the price is well worth it."

When Huo De heard that the other party had also seen through his true identity, he did not deny it at the moment and said angrily: "The news you told me had better be really worth the price!"
