The next morning, I had a buffet breakfast in the hotel.

After eating, he took Lin Youyou to Mengya magazine and found the editor-in-chief Zhao Changqiang again.

As soon as Editor-in-Chief Zhao saw Lu Ze, he told me a good news: "Haha, Lu Ze, you kid finally came. Just in time, I will tell you a good news. The Writers Publishing House, which published a collection of winning works for the New Concept Composition Competition, read Youyou's novels and agreed to help her publish the book."

"Is that true, Teacher Zhao, this is really good news." Lu Ze was also amazed at Zhao Changqiang's efficiency at this time.

This year, it is not so easy to publish magazines and publish books.

Although the current [Shiguang] member journal is very large in circulation, it can only be regarded as an internal journal of the company and has been published for free. Lu Ze still dares to use [Shiguang] magazine to sell it publicly.

It is even more difficult to publish a book than to publish a magazine.

Unless you print and publish your own money at your own expense, and the sales are completely done by yourself. Otherwise, if you want to publish a book, you must go through the distribution of a regular publisher and use their sales channels to make it possible to be listed in major bookstores across the country and gain fame and profit.

And if you want your works to become best-sellers, it is not enough to find some small publishers. You must find old publishers with strong and background.

In the media circle and cultural circle, Lu Ze has no connections at all, and he is powerless to do anything for the time being if he wants to publish a novel for Lin Youyou.

I came to participate in the New Concept Composition Competition, and it was true that I came right. With the help of "Mengya" magazine, I easily achieved something that Lu Ze could not do for the time being.

Lin Youyou's novels can be published, and [Shiguang] Company and Mengya magazine will definitely spare no effort to promote them. The more famous she becomes, the more beneficial it will be to both units.

Originally, these resource arrangements were prepared by Mengya magazine for the famous student Han, but now they are all cheaper. After all, compared to Lin Youyou today, Han’s bragging things are not enough to read.

When hyping Lin Youyou, the benefits and returns are much greater than those when hyping Han. The more Zhao Changqiang thinks about it these two days, the more he thinks that this is the case.

Therefore, he was even more impressed by Lu Ze.

Seeing Lu Ze happy, Zhao Changqiang replied proudly: "Since we cooperate, I will do my best. If you don't have any skills, wouldn't you be despised?"

He is really telling the truth. After all, the circulation of "Mengya" magazine is only tens of thousands of copies per issue, which is far inferior to the millions of distributions of "Shiguang" magazine. If he really has no performance, he is really worried about being looked down upon by Lu Ze.

Selling favors and delaying relationships, finally making an urgent arrangement for the publication of Lin Youyou's novels.

As soon as he saw Lu Ze, he couldn't help but start showing off.

"Haha, Teacher Zhao is too worried. You are a big shot in the media circle, so how dare I look down on you? What's more, under your leadership, "Mengya" magazine is about to soar to the sky. In the future, we juniors will have to rely on you to support us." Lu Ze followed the trend and praised him.

Zhao Changqiang is also considered an old man, but he doesn't want Lu Ze's trick: "Stop giving me a ecstasy soup, I'm ready, it's up to you next."

"Teacher Zhao, don't worry, it will definitely satisfy you." Lu Ze promised.

Lu Ze had long planned for the cooperation and follow-up publicity between the two parties.

After confirming some marketing details with Zhao Changqiang, Lu Ze and Lin Youyou said goodbye to him.

After leaving Mengya magazine, Lu Ze took Lin Youyou to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. It is the most suitable place to buy gifts.

Although it is inevitable to be treated as a foreign tourist, it can save a lot of time.

After all, in the Magic City in 1999, there were the shopping malls here with the richest products.

Large shopping places such as New World City, First Department Store, Donghai Fashion Store, Yong'an Department Store, First Food Store and other large shopping places can almost meet all the shopping needs of tourists.

The two first came to the No. 1 Department Store, and Lin Youyou bought some gifts for her sister and mother.

Then he went to the First Food Store and Lu Ze bought some specialty food for his uncle and uncle's house, which was also a pity.

As for the best friends, they picked a piece of imported chocolate each and just deal with it. The gifts bought for their uncle and uncle's house were heavy enough. He really didn't want to carry too heavy things.

After finding Pizza Hut, he had a random lunch, and Lu Ze planned to take Lin Youyou back to the hotel to check out.

As soon as he walked out of Pizza Hut and was about to take a taxi, Lin Youyou stopped him: "Wait, I still want to buy something."

"Hasn't you bought them all? What else is missing?" Lu Ze asked curiously.

Lin Youyou looked twisted and then said in a low voice: "I want to buy a camera."

A few days ago, when she was in the Demon City and was in the streets, she regretted that she didn't have a camera and could not record their happy time.

Now as a little rich woman, she bought gifts for her mother and sister, so she also wanted to buy a gift for herself, so she thought of taking a camera.

"Haha, what am I going to think of? You said it earlier. Let's go back to the First Department Store to buy it." Lu Ze agreed with a smile.

The two returned to the First Department Store, asked the staff, and went straight to the fifth floor to the electronic digital product area.

I found the camera sales area, and the camera brands here are quite complete.

Kodak, Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Fuji, Olympus, Ricoh, and Yishui's neon country brands have to be said to be the world's top-notch in optical instruments.

However, Magic City is Magic City, and even niche camera brands such as Leica and Hasselblad have counters.

To be niche does not mean that the brand is small, but that it means that the price is so expensive that ordinary people can’t afford it, so it becomes niche.

You should know that the two brands of Leica and Hasselblad are the ceilings of the camera industry, which are far more advanced than those Neon brands.

In 1999, it has entered the era of digital cameras, but now the pixels of mainstream digital cameras are really unbearable to look at them.

Moreover, it is very troublesome to transfer photos and files between computers and is far from comparable to digital cameras a few years later. Therefore, Lu Ze suggested that Lin Youyou give up the choice of digital cameras and choose a film machine to play first.

He took Lin Youyou to the Leica camera counter and looked at it carefully.

Lu Ze didn't understand the camera very well, but after all, he was knowledgeable in his previous life, and there were friends around him who liked to play photography. He had heard of it a little.

Leica Camera is an optical instrument manufacturer founded in Germany in 1907 and focuses on the production and sale of cameras and optical products. It is a model enterprise that reflects the advantages of Germany's precision processing and manufacturing industry.

Leica is also the pioneer of 135-frame format. The first 135-frame camera was produced by Leica. It has won wide praise for its excellent camera system, highly restored quality and rich colors.

Even when digital cameras became mainstream later, Leica was still the leader in the optical instrument industry. More than a decade later, a patriotic brand of mobile phones went to great lengths to reach a cooperation with Leica to launch smartphones using Leica lenses, which was once the biggest selling point to promote.

In the era when everyone was in possession of a SLR camera, collecting a Leica classic film machine has still become one of the ultimate dreams of many literary and artistic youth.

After all, a collection-level Leica is even tens of millions of dollars.

Therefore, Lu Ze took Lin Youyou straight to the Leica counter to choose. Anyway, the basic Leica models are not as expensive as they would be hyped more than ten years later.

Looking at Leica's various models, Lu Ze didn't understand at all. He asked Lin Youyou directly: "How is it, do you like it?"

"Well, this brand of cameras is really good." Lin Youyou is even more amateur, but for girls, it is natural to look at the appearance and shape when buying things. How many girls are not controlled by their faces?

Lu Ze quipped: "How is it not good-looking? This is one of the most expensive brands."

"Ah? Then let's change the brand, don't buy too expensive ones." Lin Youyou was anxious to leave as soon as he heard this.

Although Lu Ze gave her a lot of dividends before, she gave her a lot of money to her family and took out part of it to her sister, which was very saving herself. She had no idea about money since she was a child, and she never thought about high consumption, let alone buying a luxury brand like Leica camera.

Lu Ze smiled: "Haha, you are about to become a bestseller writer. You have millions of royalties every minute. What's the point of buying a camera? Isn't it just a broken Leica? Buy it."

If you want to buy this kind of thing, you have to buy expensive ones.

Highness has its advantages because it will not only not depreciate, but will gradually appreciate because it has collection value.

Although Lin Youyou will most likely not be short of money in the future and cannot transfer it, he needs to buy some expensive ones, which can be used as a display item at home to add some literary tone.

"Okay then." She was 100% willing to listen to Lu Ze's words.

Lu Ze then casually pointed to a camera and asked the clerk: "Hello, how much does this camera cost."

"Hello sir, you have a good vision. This is the M6 ​​model of Leica's classic M series camera and is also the best-selling model in the past two years. The price of this machine is 2,800 yuan." The clerk explained patiently.

Lu Ze recalled his friend who loved photography in his previous life and had recommended knowledge points to him. The Leica M series rangefinder camera is considered by many photography enthusiasts to be the ultimate dream of the 135 camera, especially the M3 and M6 series, which are the most classic.

He remembered that a friend once told him that although the M6 ​​series is the most produced entry-level model, it is also the series with the most commemorative models.

What anton Bruer musicians, Bo Columbus, Safari Millennium, Black Lacquer M6, Historical historians, Thailand King, Danish Prince Wedding, Brunei King, Jaguar Limited, Platinum Limited, Last 999 Limited, Dragon Edition Limited, Sheepskin Traveler Limited, Titanium Buffalo Leather Limited, etc.

If you go out to sweep the street with an M6 series Leica camera, it is definitely the best shiny tool.

If it is a commemorative model, it is even more of a magical tool for flirting with girls. A young girl who knows how to be aware of will definitely give you a look that you want to know more.

Since it is a commemorative model, it means it is very valuable for collection.

When Lu Ze recalled these, how could he choose the ordinary style? He asked the clerk directly: "Is there any commemorative model of M6?"

"Yes, yes, or you're an expert. Look at this M6J, the 40th anniversary edition of the M series camera that was only released a few years ago, is much better than the M6. There are only 1,640 units produced worldwide, which is a treasure our boss finally got from abroad. However, the price is a bit expensive." The clerk was hesitant when he said that, fearing that Lu Ze and Lin Youyou might not be able to afford it.

If it weren't for the fact that the various commemorative versions of the M6 ​​series were too widespread, his boss might not have put this camera in a counter to sell it.

M6J, isn’t this a model that my friend in his previous life was longing for but couldn’t see?

This commemorative M6J, which was once hyped up to tens of thousands of yuan but has no market value, has not been collected by a model of good quality, which has become a regret for that friend for many years.

When I heard that there was an M6J, Lu Ze didn't even think about it, and said directly without asking the price: "I just want this one."

Do you still have to think about this kind of opportunity that is hard to come by? I will make the decision to buy Lin Youyou.

"Ah? Sir, this camera is more than three times the price of an ordinary M6, and it costs 8,000 yuan." The clerk was a little unbelievable.

Lu Ze took out a stack of 100-yuan bills from his schoolbag, pointed out 8,000 yuan and threw them over: "Issuing the invoice."

The 20,000 yuan I got for Su Jinyi’s computer before was left, and the cash I brought before coming to the Magic City was just enough to buy this camera.

The clerk was very excited. He didn't expect that he could actually make a big order today. Thinking about his sales commission, he could add a chicken leg tonight.

The invoice was issued, packaged, and gifts were given in one go. The clerk treated Lu Ze and Lin Youyou very respectfully to leave.

After leaving the mall, Lin Youyou said with a heartache: "I just want to take pictures casually. There is no need to buy such an expensive camera."

"You have to buy expensive things like this. They are not only photography tools, but also collectibles. Just listen to mine, that's right." Lu Ze explained patiently.

Why do rich people prefer expensive things? Preserving and appreciation are also a very important reason.

Lin Youyou could only accept Lu Ze's decision obediently: "Wait until I go back, I will give you the camera money..."
