Chapter 233 Can you stay away from me

Xinhua News Agency

Ma Jin was led by Xu Xu to meet some people from Xinhua News Agency. Among these people, the one that Ma Jin values ​​the most is also what Xinhua News Agency needs most at the moment, and the editors Xu Xu carefully found.

An excellent editor must not only have an accurate vision, be able to pick valuable manuscripts from a bunch of submissions, but also have an understanding of the novel market, understand what readers like, and put forward some constructive opinions on the authors under his command.

A good editor will be the author's most trusted partner and the link between the author and the publisher.

A group of experienced and capable editors will be a valuable asset for the publishing house.

...

Five of the seven editors Xu Xu found were his classmates and friends, all of whom were scholars, one of whom was named Fu Jin, who was also a scholar.

When Ma Jin asked Xu Xu to recruit editors from Xinhua News Agency, Xu Xu didn't know anyone else. After thinking about it, he called all the friends and classmates.

Of course, this is also the person Xu Xucai called after asking for Ma Jin. Otherwise, as soon as he was in charge of Xinhua News Agency, he would stuff a group of his own people in, and even the boss would be in a grudge.

The reason why Ma Jin agreed to Xu Xu did this is very simple. There are too few suitable personnel, and it can be said that there is not even any. Even Xu Xu brought it out little by little. In addition, Xu Xu is very smart and learns things and learns from others. Only now can he stand alone.

In this way, Ma Jin also trained Xu Xu for nearly half a year before he slowly released it.

They are all novices. Instead of having some strangers to teach, it is better to let Xu Xu recruit a few acquaintances, know the roots and the bottom line, and be trustworthy in cooperation with Xu Xu.

There are also emotions as a bond, and they will not be easily poached after being cultivated later.

Moreover, this group of people is not weak in knowledge and smart in mind. With Xu Xu and him, I believe that they will become a qualified professional editor soon.

In addition to these five people, there are two editors, who were arranged by Ma Jin, and Fu Kong, the leader of the Ma family's naval army, and Hu Lai.

These two people were specially sent by Ma Jin to Xinhua News Agency to do dirty things, poach people, grab manuscripts, and throw dirty water...

Ma Jin has never been a regular businessman. Apart from being too despicable about literary inquisition, he never stings with normal business methods.

Moreover, after half a year of hard work, the navy troops under Fu Kong have developed a large number of offline operations, and intelligence networks are spread throughout most of the capital.

They dare not inquire about the private affairs of the government and the powerful, but ordinary people are fine. If something big or small happened in the capital, as long as the outside world shows its wind, the Ma Jin navy can find out the news.

From this point of view, even compared with the Black Guard, it is not much inferior.

After all, Ma Jin’s silver worth thousands of taels is not a waste of money…

...

Ma Jin had a small notebook that specifically recorded useful information he picked out from the naval army information.

Moreover, Fu Kong and his team came to Xinhua News Agency not only to do dirty work, but also laying the foundation for Ma Jin's next step.

Fu Kong and his team were just the first batch. When they were trained, Ma Jin would also recruit a group of clever navy troops to let Fu Kong and others lead the new ones with the old.

When the time is right, this group of people will become an indispensable force for Xinhua News Agency.

...

Xu Xu is the editor-in-chief. These seven people are editors. According to Ma Jin's meaning, Fu Kong is useful. The other five editors are responsible for two to three authors.

In the future, whoever signs a new author will be responsible for that editor. The editor will pay 5 taels of silver per month, and it will also have performance. The author under his command has a high sales volume, and Xinhua News Agency will also reward the editors responsible for him.

As for new editors in the future, they will follow this rule.

Guanbu, Du Shan, Sheng Yue and the others are the trump cards of Xinhua News Agency after Ma Jin. Xu Xu is temporarily responsible for it, and then make arrangements after sufficient editing will be made.

In addition to these people, Xinhua News Agency also had two coachmen, equipped with two carriages for these editors to use, and also bought eight mailboxes to be responsible for some trivial matters.

In addition, because Xinhua News Agency is full of important manuscripts, in order to prevent anyone from being ill-telled, Ma Jin sent fifteen guards to take charge of the care of the guards.

During this year, the Ma family's guards have been expanding continuously, and now there are more than 150 people.

There was no way, Ma Jin's stall was too big and he lacked a sense of security, so he recruited a large number of bodyguards. In the Ma Mansion alone, he had garrisoned forty people, and there were guards in front, middle and back yards.

In addition, there are 30 people guarding the bookstore for many years. If new books are released, additional staff will be sent.

There were also guards in the two Dingxiang Buildings. Last time, a few people got drunk and made trouble in the restaurant. They even beat the clerk. After Sun Youfu warned him several times, he gave an order and five or six big men rushed out, carrying one in one hand and threw it out.

There was also the Niu family's caravan and Ma Jin's guards followed him. It was not that he believed Niu Hong. In the business, the cost of a 100,000 new book was only a few thousand taels, and Ma Jin could not say nothing.

Most of these guards were from military backgrounds, and they were all good players. They were attacked by Ma Jin from Yan Yi and the Eighth Prince. I dare not say that they were more regular in the United States than the US. Anyway, ordinary thieves would die if they came.

...

Many people gathered together, so there was a lot of room for need. Ma Jin spent more than 8,000 taels to buy a four-entry yard for office use in Xinhua News Agency.

I greeted the editors of Xinhua News Agency. In fact, Ma Jin had seen these people before and had talked about them. Ma Jin didn't want to just paint big cakes for others, but when Xinhua News Agency opened, his boss could not help but express his feelings.

So, the real boss Ma used a very vulgar method - to invite his subordinates to dinner.

This place is not far from the bookstore, and someone asked An Yi and several of the backbone of the bookstore to have a sumptuous lunch at Tongfu Inn opposite the bookstore.

After the meal, Ma Jin gave An Yi and Xu Xu a while. In the next few months, several authors will plan to publish books, and newcomers will continue to contribute. Ma Jin's lower part is also expected to be released in June. The task of the two people is very heavy.

...

After chatting for an hour, Ma Jin said goodbye and left. He had a party in the evening. Yan Yi's wife Princess Su celebrated her birthday today. Yan Yi held a big banquet. Ma Jin, a strong man in the Su royal party, had to go to celebrate her birthday.

Ma Jin also bought a birthday gift for this, a jade ruyi was not expensive, more than 500 taels of silver, but the box underneath was valuable, and there were ten thousand taels of silver hidden in the mezzanine.

That's right, Yan Yi has no money, and Ma Jin, the God of Wealth, has to give him money again...

But the money was not given in vain. Anyway, Yan Yi was so moved.

After the birthday party ended, Yan Yifei, who had drunk too much, pulled Ma Jin and refused to let him go, and took him to see Princess Su.

Yan Yi was drunk on his face, hugging Ma Jin, and introduced to Princess Su while burping.

"Hi, this is Ma Zisheng, my good brother-in-law, Hiu, good brother."

After hearing this, Ma Jin was very moved and just wanted to say something to Yan Yi.

"Can you keep away from me? I wonder if you have drunk too much and your mouth is stinky..."
