Chapter 66.

Cheng Mo returned home.

Just as he was about to cook dinner, Shen Mo came.

“Team leader, what do you think of this tube?” Shen Mo handed Cheng Mo a roughly thirty centimeter metal tube that was heavy.

“Where did it come from?”

“A broken bearing on this tram, I’ll get the factory’s pliers to hollow it out and process it, see if you can use it?” Shen Mo explained.

“You didn’t tell anyone what to do?”

“No, I just said that I wanted to make a gadget and needed an iron pipe with a slightly stronger hardness.” Shen Mo said.

Cheng Mo reached out and touched the wall of the pipe, the processing was not bad, quite smooth, this master’s level was really good.

“Is there any quenching?”

“Well, quenching can increase the hardness.” This reasoning Shen Mo understands.

“You have welding equipment in your power plant, right?”

“There is, but if you want to use it, the application procedures are more troublesome, and it’s not impossible to use it secretly, but secrecy will be ……” Shen Mo said.

“See if there is a way on Dachun’s side, the auto body shop should also have welding equipment, if not, go to him.” Cheng Mo said, if he has a auto body shop, it is much more convenient to do the work, which is like now, you need to put together.

“You haven’t eaten, I’m cooking noodles, let’s eat together?” Cheng Mo greeted, it can be seen that Shen Mo came from the tram depot, certainly did not have time to eat.

“Good.” Shen Mo is not polite, this time to go back, there is no place to eat.

“About sanctioning Lu Hong, what are your thoughts?” Cheng Mo asked.

“Lu Hong has done the public board of directors Hua Dong, not only is the family big, reputation and influence than Fan Gang and Yang Fuyuan most, want to kill him, not easy, if we give us enough time, I think we can through the internal buy poison method, this is more secure, but if we want to sanction it right away, need to take a certain amount of risk, he is now going out in the car, and bodyguard protection, it is difficult for us to get close to him, and we will be able to get out of the car. There are also bodyguards to protect him, it’s hard for us to get close, the point is, it’s hard for us to determine his whereabouts, and if we use violent means to assassinate him, if it’s not good, it will jeopardize our own safety ……”

“Contact the Shanghai Special Administrative Region Intelligence Group, ask them to provide Lu Hong’s recent itinerary, since it’s a task assigned to us by the Special Administrative Region, they should also contribute.”

“OK.”

“Inform Da Chun, we’ll go over tomorrow night.” Cheng Mo said.

“Good.”

While speaking, without paying attention, the noodles cooked in the pot almost roamed out, Cheng Mo’s eyes were quick, and he hurriedly reached out to turn off the gas stove.

“I don’t cook often, at most I can cook noodles, so you can just eat.” Cheng Mo said in a not-so-good-natured manner.

“Noodles are good.”

The two big men sat down, each served a bowl of noodles, and quickly ate it all.

Early the next morning, Cheng Mo put all the manuscripts of Ghost Husband into his bag, and then rode out on his bicycle.

Passing by Lao Miao’s grocery store, he took the opportunity to buy cigarettes and learned that Wang Hai, the president of Zhengdong Library, had called last night.

At this time, even a small opportunity, he will not give up, if there is no financial resources, Zhengdong Library is really difficult to continue, rely on the face of the past borrowing can only flourish for a while, and these debts will eventually have to pay.

Only their own blood, find a way to make money, this is the fundamental to come back to life.

At lunchtime, Cheng Mo once again came to “Zhengdong Library”, this time, he finally met the president Wang Hai.

Cheng Mo was here to talk about cooperation, so naturally he didn’t like to talk nonsense.

He directly gave Wang Hai the first three chapters of “Ghost Husband”, and Wang Hai just read a little bit, and then fell into it.

It wasn’t that Cheng Mo’s writing was so good, but the story was so good looking, and it could definitely earn a woman’s tears.

As a veteran editor who had been engaged in publishing for many years, he could not help but understand that once this novel was published, it was bound to cause a sensation in the world, but this did not conform to the publishing philosophy of the Zhengdong Library, which had always been in line with its philosophy of publishing pioneering books, including novels, and the publication of all kinds of revolutionary books had often been warned and ordered to be rectified by the authorities in the rented area. They were often warned and ordered to rectify by the rentier authorities, and could be said to be a key target of the Bureau of Public Works.

“Excuse me, sir, did you write this novel?” “Of course.” Cheng Mo nodded.

“The style of this novel is not consistent with the style we publish, otherwise, would you like to try another publisher?” Although he knew that publishing this novel would make money, he couldn’t disregard the publisher’s philosophy as well as his own beliefs.

“Zhengdong Library is going through a financial crisis, and President Wang is still so stubborn, this novel of mine only celebrates the steadfast love between a man and a woman, there are no other intentions, just because it doesn’t match your style of publishing novels, are you going to turn it away?” Cheng Mo asked rhetorically.

“Mr. Wind Up Loulan, right now it is a time of national disaster, such a novel, although it is very nice to look at, is really out of place.” Wang Hai said with a straight face.

“President Wang, to do anything, you need to have financial support, even if you want to fight against the Japanese, no money, no resources won’t do, just like you are running this publishing house, now it’s come to the point where you are tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, if there is a sum of money that can allow you to continue to run the business, will it be able to publish more books you want to put out, to edify and influence more people, but once it collapses, how many people can be saved from your adherence to your ideals and beliefs will be known to how many people?” Cheng Mo said.

Wang Hai fell silent, how could he not understand this, but to ask him to give up his publishing philosophy was the same as saying to take a knife and poke him in the heart.

“Pioneer novels or Yuanyang Butterfly School novels, they are all for people, only the reader audience is different, my novels glorify steadfast love, there is no extravagance, this for ages, love and family and national sentiment are both equally praiseworthy, ordinary people and revolutionaries both need love, don’t they?”

“If President Wang feels that publishing this novel under the name of Zhengdong Library will affect Zhengdong’s reputation, I do have a solution here, I wonder if President Wang would like to hear it?”

“Please speak, sir.”

“How about you and I, President Wang, jointly fund another publishing house to publish this book?”

Wang Hai’s eyes lit up, this is an accommodation, Zhengdong Library can not have to change the concept of their own industry pioneers, but another publishing house can publish money-making books, and the money earned to subsidize the Zhengdong Library, in this way, it is a perfect solution to the kinks in their own hearts.

It was actually the same department with two brands.

“Then how does Mr. Wind Up Lou Lan want to fund it?” Wang Hai asked.

“I’ll put up the capital, you put up the personnel and equipment, we’ll take up shares in the ratio of 3:2, what does President Wang think?” Cheng Mo asked.

Wang Hai thought about it for a while, this matter is not bad for him, and he is not a major shareholder, he is just cooperating with others for survival, it can be said that it is a personal and private behavior.

In that case, the old friends should be able to understand themselves.

Seeing Wang Hai nodding, Cheng Mo then said, “Since President Wang agrees, let’s draft an agreement, the registration aspect of running the company will be handled solely by you, and I’ll take care of the relationship over at the Ministry of Public Works Bureau.”

“Mister has connections in the Ministry of Public Works Bureau?” Wang Hai gave a surprised cry.

“Formal introduction, my humble self Cheng Mo, serving in the Ministry of Public Works Bureau Police Department Political Unit, liaison group detective.” Cheng Mo said, since they were cooperating, there was no need to hide it, besides, it was impossible to cooperate only once.

Wang Hai was startled.

This was related to the Political Unit of the Public Works Department, many things were complicated, and he immediately had concerns coming to his mind.

“President Wang, there is no need to worry, I don’t interfere with the operation of the publishing house, but in today’s public leased territory, if you want to continue to survive, someone has to be able to bail you out, you can still refuse now, but after that, you won’t have a chance.” Cheng Mo just looked at Wang Hai.

The choice was a tough one.

For Cheng Mo, he was too unaware of the other party’s temperament and political inclination, once he cooperated, then he might be tied up, and did he still want to lose this reputation?

But the problem was that right now he was also at the crossroads of near closure.

“I’ll take the liberty of asking, what does Mr. Cheng think about the current situation in China and Japan right now?” Wang Hai clenched his fists for a moment, then asked nervously.

“President Wang, are you Chinese?”

“Of course.”

“So am I.” Cheng Mo reached out and pointed to where his heart was, “Always.”

Wang Hai’s expression relaxed and he made one of the most important decisions of his life, “I’m willing to work with Mr. Cheng.”

“President Wang, happy cooperation.”

“What’s the name of the new publishing house?”

“Flower Room Society.”
