Ji Penghui decided to recommend "The Rise of Great Powers: Ocean Age" to his junior brother, Lin Daozhong, who was the deputy editor-in-chief of Guangming Daily in the north.

However, his recommendation method was a bit special. He did not inform him in advance, but instead mailed this issue of Ming Pao Monthly to the editorial department of Guangming Daily, preparing to give Lin Daozhong a surprise.

The whole process took a bit long. It was only after Ji Penghui sent it out that he received a call from Lin Daozhong.

On the phone, the two talked about work issues. After the talk, they inevitably talked about "The Rise of a Great Power".

"Lao Lin, how about this article? Is this article worthwhile?" Ji Penghui raised the topic in a joking tone.

"How to say it, well, talking about the rise and fall of a great country, the idea and writing style are undoubtedly excellent. What is even more valuable is that you can look at problems from a global perspective and have a high perspective. And it has a strong direction. If you can take overall control, it may have a good reference for the development of our country." Lin Daozhong exclaimed.

Lin Daozhong's vision of things is of course very profound when he is able to become the deputy editor of Guangming Daily and preside over the daily work of the newspaper. He only sees the truth because of the content of "Rise of Great Powers" and Ji Penghui's recommendation.

In fact, he received the package mailed by Ji Penghui half a month ago, but during this half month, he was reading, thinking and interpreting "The Rise of Great Powers: Ocean Age" in all aspects. He called Ji Penghui until he had time and had time.

"Oh, I didn't expect that Lao Lin, your evaluation is so high." Ji Penghui smiled.

...

The two talked about "The Rise of Great Powers: The Age of Oceans", and Lin Daozhong asked curiously: "Who is Lin Jing who can write such a majestic writing?"

"Haha, Lao Lin, I guess you can't help asking this question." Ji Penghui laughed loudly, to be honest. He was also surprised when he read the information of its author, so he said proudly now, "This Lin Jing is not an unknown person in Hong Kong and Taiwan."

“Very famous?”

"It was only last year..." Then Ji Penghui briefly explained what he knew about Lin Jing.

Lin Daozhong was shocked for a while. After a while, he sighed: "Hiss, he is less than seventeen years old, and he is almost born to know, he is a monster."

"Is it expected to be on the Guangming Daily?" At this point, Ji Penghui mentioned it in a timely manner.

"It turns out that Lao Ji, you are paying attention." Lin Daozhong laughed and pondered for a while. Then he said seriously, "If it is based on my opinion, it will be fine. But with the author's background of this article, I am not the only one who can make the decision. Let me put the article up and let the editorial department discuss it."

Ji Penghui was not surprised by Lin Daozhong's statement. After all, Guangming Daily is not an ordinary newspaper and has a very significant status. Every article published on it has deep meaning. "The Rise of a Great Power" is not bad, but because of the content issues and the author's background, it may involve political issues, so it cannot act hasty.

Ji Penghui, who was mentally prepared, replied: "This is not urgent. I have never asked the author about publishing this. I am just trying to find out your words. Besides, it is said that this is a series of articles, with hundreds of thousands of words at the end, involving six or seven countries."

“What other countries are there?”

"The Netherlands, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Tsarist Russia, the Soviet Union and the United States, I heard that the latest article about the Netherlands' "Small Country and Great Career" is about to come out."

"So fast?"

"You don't know how fast she was when she wrote novels and historical articles. That was extremely fast, which is actually slow. According to Ming Pao, the series "Rise of Great Powers" should have been conceived since last year. So it can't be too fast."

...

After about half an hour of telephone call, Lin Daozhong put down the phone, sat at the desk, smoking while thinking about how to convince a few old stubborn men with granite heads in the editorial department to publish "Rise of a Great Power".

"Dad, I'm back." A young man with beautiful eyebrows pushed the door and saw the smoke in the study room. He frowned slightly, saying, "Why are you smoking a long cigarette again?"

"It's Qingwen, I'm thinking about something." Lin Daozhong nodded and responded, but did not answer the young man's question.

"Just on the phone with Uncle Ji just now?" The young man was Lin Daozhong's son and a sophomore student at Peking University.

"Um."

"Have you asked me if I bought the book and when will I send it?"

Because Ji Penghui can easily buy many foreign books that cannot be seen in China in Hong Kong, Lin Daozhong entrusts Ji Penghui to buy some new books and send them back every once in a while, so Lin Qingwen asked this question.

"Your Uncle Ji is very busy recently, so where can you have time to buy books for you?" Lin Daozhong shook his head and said.

"Hey, "Ming Pao Monthly"." Lin Qingwen was about to walk out of the study, but looked up but saw a magazine lying on the desk. He was happy and asked, "Is it the latest issue?"

“September is not new.”

"It's quite new to us, let's take a look."

Lin Qingwen knew about Ming Pao Monthly magazine. A magazine run by Hong Kong martial arts novelist Jin Yong is quite well-known, and it is more exciting to read than the conservativeness of mainland magazines. However, it may be that some of the content of this magazine is too extreme and biased and cannot be seen frequently.

Some of the issues he has seen have been "reviewed", so there is no problem.

"If you want to read it, take it out and read it." Lin Daozhong, his son's love for books, knew very well that the books he saw were impossible to let go of, so he simply let him read it.

Lin Qingwen picked up the Ming Pao Monthly magazine and did not walk away. Instead, he hooked a chair next to him and sat down with his feet, and turned it around: "The Rise of Great Powers: Ocean Age", oh, Lin Jing, was it written by Lin Jing again?"

"Do you know Lin Jing?" Lin Daozhong seemed to be familiar with the name Lin Jing when he heard his son's tone.

"Haha." Lin Qingwen touched her head embarrassedly when she heard her father mention Lin Jing, and said, "I have read a few books she wrote."

"Oh, what are there?"

"Heroics, Kunlun, and those times I can't go back, and—" Lin Qingwen's face turned slightly red when he said these titles. He peeked at his father's face a few times. Seeing that he showed no sign of anger, he continued to say with confidence, "There are also "Things in the Ming Dynasty" and "The Three Kingdoms".

Lin Jing did not expect that before his books were officially published in the mainland, they followed Jin Yong's martial arts novels, and the stolen versions appeared first, and they were circulated very widely among major universities, and they were not lost.

"So many?" When I was just in the fairy tale with Ji Penghui, Ji Penghui said that Lin Jing's information was very simple, so Lin Daozhong only knew that Lin Jing was a great writer, but he didn't know what books the great writer wrote, "What kind of books are they?"

"Heroics and Kunlun are martial arts novels, "Those Times I Can't Go Back" is a youth campus novel, and "Things of the Ming Dynasty" and "The Three Kingdoms" are academic works that study history." Because he was worried that he would read too many martial arts novels to cause his father's unhappiness, Lin Qingwen emphasized when talking about "Things of the Ming Dynasty" and "Things of the Three Kingdoms", which is an academic work.

"It's not impossible to read martial arts novels, but be careful not to get addicted to it." Lin Daozhong could see his son's little thoughts clearly, but he did not have much prejudice against martial arts novels, so he just mentioned it a little.

"Yes, I know." Lin Qingwen responded quickly.

"Put the other idle books aside for the time being. Read this "The Rise of the Great Powers: The Ocean Age" carefully to see how others read books, see how the world and history." After saying this, Lin Daozhong extinguished the cigarette butts in his hand and walked out of the study.
