The entertainment tycoon of the Republic of China

A series of conspiracies caused by Wen Heng's trip to Sichuan came to an end temporarily with Wen Heng's safe return.

On the whole, all parties in China have benefited a lot from it. Sichuan successfully regained part of the air route control, Gansu and Lin Province reached a cooperative relationship, and Hankou successfully bit off a piece of meat from the racecourse controlled by foreigners. .

Fang Qingming specifically asked Xie Yan for his opinion on how to deal with the shops that were forcibly taken back from the Japanese.After communicating openly and honestly about the incidents related to Xiang Yanlin, Fang Qingming trusted Xie Yan more and more, as if he wanted to become a confidant and think tank.

Xie Yan is naturally happy to see the results. His career and family are rooted in Hankou. With the support of Fang Qingming, who is on the Huguang tour, many things will be much more convenient.

Fang Qingming's misgivings about those shops in the racetrack that once belonged to the Japanese were not groundless.After all, the Japanese have been operating there for a few years, and they are surrounded by forces from other Western countries, so they will definitely do things secretly. Ordinary Chinese businessmen cannot stand there.

Western countries may also think of this, so they feel relieved to cheat Japan.

Fang Qingming wants Xie Yan to relocate the Xianzhe Theater to the racecourse. The Xianzhe Theater is currently the most influential entertainment venue opened by Huaxia people in Hankou, and Xie Yan and the Wen family are behind it. If it can’t be here Standing on his feet, Fang Qingming could only consider ways to injure the enemy one thousand and self-injure eight hundred.Anyway, no matter what, it is impossible to return it to foreigners to make money.

After listening to Fang Qingming's suggestion, Xie Yan didn't agree directly, nor did he rush to deny it. He had some other ideas that needed to be carefully considered.

It was noon when we came out of the inspection mansion.Wen Heng went to the pharmaceutical factory to be busy today, and it is said that the research on new drug antidote is coming to an end, Wei Guangliang sternly protested Wen Heng's behavior of leaving all the work to him, a strong man, and directly rushed to the door to reprimand the unscrupulous classmate.

Wen Heng was not at home, and Xie Yan was not in a hurry to go back.

He got into the carriage of the patrol mansion, and said to the driver, "Go to Xiangmanlou."

The familiar coachman smiled, raised his whip steadily and vigorously, and after a shout, the carriage rushed towards Xiangmanlou.

Xie Yan went to Xiangmanlou this time to entertain guests. When the monthly magazine was about to be released, the banquet made a lot of effort for the monthly magazine.

In addition to Guan Cheng, Luo Dao and Ding Hai whom Xie Yan knew before, other like-minded editors and contributors were also invited to this banquet. Taking this opportunity, we can re-acquaint the main members of the newspaper.

Xie Yan arrived neither early nor late, almost half of the people were there, and they quickly communicated with each other.

The identity Xie Yan used was still the owner of the presenter's theater, plus an investor in a newspaper. Everyone only knew that he had a close relationship with the presenter and was the presenter's spokesperson outside.But no one knew that the smiling young man in front of them was the same person as the knowledgeable presenter they admired in their hearts.

At first, some educated youths were worried that Xie Yan was good at doing business and not very proficient in knowledge and ideas, so they tried to find some simple topics to chat with him, but soon they found that no matter what they talked about, the boss Xie Yan You can come up with refreshing insights. After a while, the way everyone looks at Xie Yan has changed.

After the dishes were served, Xie Yan asked the waiter not to disturb, and started to chat about business.

"I have already read the catalog of articles for the first issue of the monthly magazine that you have drawn up, and I have read it with Guan Cheng. The preface to the monthly magazine written by the presenter has also been handed over to Guan Cheng. There is one more important thing today, that is, the name of the monthly magazine. I want to ask if you have any good ideas?"

A young woman wearing glasses thought for a while and said, "Since the monthly magazine is the idea of ​​Mr. Presenter, why not call it Presenter just like the theater, and everyone will know what it is when they hear it."

"Not good, not good." The chubby young man shook his head, "This publication is a serious scientific publication, not to say that the presenter is not good, but if it is called the presenter, the entertainment meaning that people associate will affect the authority of the monthly magazine .”

"I said, how about calling it science?"

"It's a bit too commonplace, and many people may not know what science means."

……

The people in the box all fell into deep thought. For people like them who tend to do research, it is really difficult to come up with a name.

"I have an idea." Luo Dao said while thinking, "The daily we run is called Minsheng, which means the voice of the people. The name of the monthly magazine can also be thought in this direction."

"That makes sense, what is it called?"

"Voice of the people, voice of the people..."

Listening to the discussion of the crowd, Xie Yan, who had been thinking silently, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "The voice of the people is for the voice of the people; the wisdom of the people is for the wisdom of the people, how about it?"

"People's voice, people's wisdom... I think it's good!"

"A good name is neither too obscure nor vulgar and meaningless, and it also contains the philosophy of our publication, that's it!"

"Everyone." Guan Cheng raised the wine glass in his hand, "Let's congratulate each other, and wish our Minzhi release goes smoothly, and also wish the land of China, the people's wisdom blooming!"

"I wish Minzhi, I wish Huaxia!"

……

With the sound of toasting, the People's Wisdom Journal, known as one of the two peoples, officially entered the stage of history.The People's Livelihood Daily and Minzhi Periodicals have continued into the future a hundred years later, constantly exploring and improving, and bringing knowledge and beliefs to the land of China at that time in each era. Therefore, they are also considered by the follow-up mainstream concepts to be the most outstanding contributions of the current ones. .

Back in time, two days later, Minzhi periodicals were officially pre-sold. In order to spread the periodicals more widely and make booksellers willing to ship them to various parts of China, Xie Yan not only subsidized the booksellers who transported Minzhi, but also The novel version of Yulong Ji is made into a small booklet, which is attached with the periodical.

There are six volumes in total, and they will be sent out along with the magazine in the next six months. Xie Yan believes that after six months, the all-encompassing wisdom of the people will definitely open up the situation in China.

Although Minzhi is a periodical, Xie Yan did not expect to make money from it, so a thick magazine is not much more expensive than a newspaper.Because the novel of Yulong Ji was included with the book, many people followed suit and bought a copy on the day of release.

However, compared to novels with popular language and interesting plots, the contents of which are almost all about folk wisdom related to research results are too difficult for ordinary people to understand.Some shopkeepers who have read the books for several years do not believe in evil, and they turned over the periodicals, and finally found that only the preface written by Mr. Xianzhe could be read.

Although I can't understand it, the people also know that everything written in this book is good.

Mr. Xian Zhe said in the preface that foreigners can create so many good things because they have learned the knowledge called "science", and what is written in this book is the most powerful science that foreigners have researched. Chinese people learn it, and Huaxia can also make those things, so they don't have to be angry with foreigners anymore!

To use the metaphor of Mr. Shun's storytelling, this wisdom of the people is equivalent to the somersault cloud passed down by the Bodhi ancestor to Sun Wukong. It is more powerful than the magic treasure.

Because of this, some people who bought the periodical and found that they could not read it did not waste it, or took the periodical back to their children, hoping that the child would be able to learn it; or gave it to nearby schools and students, so that , The spread of people's wisdom has expanded by another layer.

Guan Cheng is the principal of a primary school, and he is very clear about the current education situation in Hankou. When launching the journal, he proposed to reduce the difficulty of reading the journal, add more simple knowledge, and make more people understand it, but Xie Yan rejected it. .

Xie Yan recalled that in the time and space of her previous life, the authoritative academic exchange platforms in the world were almost all monopolized by foreign countries. If domestic scholars want to obtain first-hand research results, they must learn foreign languages, and if they want to publish their own research results, they can only write in foreign languages. paper.

It is not a safe thing to be controlled by others in cutting-edge research and communication. In Xie Yan's time and space, even if Huaxia had stood up after suffering, this historical problem has not been effectively resolved. So this time, Xie Yan plans to Solve the problem from the root.

Minzhihui takes cutting-edge scientific research exchange as its journal concept. With the participation of more and more intellectuals, it gradually moves from China to the world.As for popular science, Xie Yan plans to create another simple and interesting popular science publication, so that ordinary people in China can also get in touch with modern scientific concepts.

If things go on like this, feudal ignorance will be replaced by rationality, and China will also form the soil for the growth of science.

After Xie Yan made his thoughts clear, Guan Cheng didn't insist anymore.Although he has not seen the future world with his own eyes like Xie Yan, what Xie Yan said can be understood with a little imagination.

After this incident, Guan Cheng admired Xie Yan even more. He thought he had considered it thoughtfully enough, but he didn't know that Xie Yan had already seen the distant future when he was still confined to his eyes.However, while admiring him, some doubts also took root in Guan Yi's mind.

"Guan Cheng! Principal of Guan University!" Ding Hai came to the elementary school to look for Guan Cheng that day, and saw his friend frowning sitting by the window in a daze from afar, "You don't work hard, what are you thinking about?"

"I..." Guan Cheng hesitated to speak.

Seeing Guan Cheng's expression, Ding Hai knew that something was really wrong with him, so he closed the door casually, pulled out a chair and sat opposite Guan Cheng.

"What's the matter, tell me?"

Guan Cheng confirmed that there was no one around to speak, "I'm thinking of the presenter."

"The present?"

"... Tell me, who is the presenter?"

"What did I think it was? It turned out to be because of this." Ding Hai breathed a sigh of relief, "The discoverer is unwilling to show up, there must be his reasons. But according to my observation, Ms. Anyu Jing'an must know who the discoverer is. The Yue and Wen family also know, by the way, as well as Boss Xie Yan, if these people confirm that there is no problem with the discovery, we don’t have to worry too much.”

Guan Cheng shook his head, "I'm not worried, I suddenly had a guess."

Ding Hai became interested, "Guess? Tell me quickly."

"Think carefully about what the presenter did, and then think about Boss Xie Yan...Think about his thought and speech and status." Guan Cheng pursed his lips, "Tell me... Could Xie Yan be the presenter? By?"

Ding Hai was stunned for a long time, then suddenly slapped his thigh, "My God! Really! Now everything makes sense!"

"Keep your voice down." Guan Cheng hastily pulled the man to sit down, "It's just a speculation, whether it is or not, the discoverer must have his own idea of ​​concealing his identity, we must not make it public."

"I know, I still understand this." Ding Hai frowned when he thought of something, "But..."

"I heard some rumors about Boss Xie Yan this morning. I thought it was just nonsense, but if Xie Yan is really the one who discovered it, I'm afraid there will be some trouble..."
