Chapter 26 Look, this is called efficiency!
The store is responsible for calling a taxi to deliver the computer to the designated location and install it at your door, which is very convenient for Sioux City.
The address was chosen directly in the office of the chairman of the Su Group. After all, for him, he had no desire to play with such a backward computer when he brought it home.
So, it can only be used as a work computer.
After installing the computer, Su Cheng locked the office door.
"Xiao Ai, what should we do next?" Sitting in front of the computer, everything is ready.
"Master, just turn on the computer and leave the rest to me. However, because this computer only has 64k of storage, the entire novel cannot be uploaded at once, and the score will be uploaded and deleted multiple times." Xiao Aitian Said sweetly.
Su Cheng still knows this. In future generations, this will be the most basic knowledge.
There is only 64k storage space, and it can only store more than 30,000 words at most. This is still a theoretical number, in fact it will be less.
After turning on the computer, everything was normal, so Su Cheng directly handed over control of the computer to Xiao Ai.
Logically speaking, this computer product should not be able to display Chinese characters, but at this time, lines of text suddenly appeared on the computer, and they were all traditional Chinese characters.
"Master, you can only upload 20,000 words at a time. I will print them out directly, delete them, and then continue to upload the next part." At this time, Xiao Ai reminded again.
"You just have to do it. I'll collect the printed paper on the side." Su Cheng said directly.
Twenty thousand words at a time, and "Looking for Qin" has a total of about 1.5 million words. In other words, the novel manuscript needs to be uploaded in 75 times.
Due to the restriction of printing speed, it took almost an hour to print out 1.5 million words.
Look, this is called efficiency.
I don’t know how much time it would take if I asked him to recite it and then wait for the typist to type it out!
The office uses a dot matrix printer, and the quality of this era is still good. After printing these documents, the printer did not freeze due to overheating.
10,000 words is about 10 pages. Printing forward and reverse can save half of the paper. In other words, these 1.5 million words use a full 750 sheets of paper.
This is because Xiao Ai has very strict control over the size and layout of the text, otherwise more paper will be needed.
After completing it, Su Cheng bound the papers and finally turned them into a book manuscript.
By the way, novels must have pen names. What should I use?
Su Cheng thought for a while.
Yes, since it is plagiarizing Master Huang’s work, let’s use a word of Master Huang’s as a tribute to Master Huang from another time and space.
As for the time and space of this parallel world, Master Huang has not yet written this work, so it is naturally not considered plagiarism.
Su Cheng used a pen to write under the title of the book on the front page: "By Su Yi."
Holding the thick manuscript and smelling the fresh ink on it, Su Cheng walked out of the office directly and went to Zhang next door. Sister's office.
"Boss, is there anything else?" Sister Zhang asked when she saw Su Cheng.
"I've figured out a way for you to bring Chiayi Literary Media Co., Ltd. back to life. What do you think it is?" Su Cheng smiled and handed the manuscript in his hand to Sister Zhang.
Sister Zhang curiously took the manuscript and saw the three characters "Looking for Qin" written on the cover of the first piece of white paper. Under the title of the book, there was also a handwritten author: Su Yi.
Sister Zhang flipped through it and found that it was a novel set in the Qin Dynasty. It was obvious that this was a historical martial arts novel.
"Dr. Su, did you write this?" Sister Zhang asked.
“Yes.” Su Cheng nodded and took the copyright as his own without blushing.
“Can this novel alone save Chivalrous Literature Media Co., Ltd.?” Sister Zhang obviously didn’t believe it. She is not a fan of novels, so naturally she cannot see how good the quality of this novel is.
"Let's go to Chiayi Literary Media Co., Ltd. and show it to our editor-in-chief." Su Cheng was full of confidence in this.
"Looking for Qin Ji" has already proven itself in later generations. The TV series of "Looking for Qin Ji" was filmed twice and the movie was filmed once.
Most of the subsidiaries of the Su Group have their headquarters independent of the group. In order to save money, Chivalry Literature and Media Co., Ltd. has already returned the offices rented outside and moved the office back. Su Group.
After all, the Su Group Building is its own property. If you come back to work, you can even save on rent.
In a corner of the 3rd floor, there is an office with an area of about 80 square meters. This is where the executives and editors of Chiayi Literature Media Co., Ltd. work.
When Sister Zhang brought Su Cheng in, she found that there were not even more than 10 staff members inside.
This shows how miserable this company is.
"Director Su, Mr. Zhang." Seeing Su Cheng and the others, the people in the office stood up in a hurry to say hello.
They all know the situation of the company, and now they are really afraid that the company will be canceled at any time, and they will be unemployed by then. You must know that it is not easy to find a job now.
“Where is Mr. Li?” Sister Zhang asked.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li is out on business," an employee said.
“Who is the editor-in-chief?” Su Cheng asked.
"Dr. Su, I am Wang Zhiye, the company's editor-in-chief." A middle-aged man walked out of his workplace.
"Come with me for a moment, everyone else, go back to their respective positions and continue working." Su Cheng said with a smile.
Because there are not many employees, although the office is not big, there is also a tea room. Authors who submit articles are usually received in the tea room.
After everyone sat down, Su Cheng directly handed the manuscript in his hand to Chief Editor Wang, and then said: "How about you take a look at this book first."
Although he thought it was strange, Editor-in-Chief Wang did it anyway.
As someone who has been in the industry for many years, he is naturally very skilled in reviewing manuscripts.
When he opened the first chapter, he read it carefully and quickly.
Su Cheng and Sister Zhang were waiting patiently.
Originally, Editor-in-Chief Wang only planned to read the first two or three chapters. This is the basic operation of reviewing manuscripts. Whether a book will be popular or not can be roughly judged at the beginning.
If the beginning is well written, as long as the rest is level, or even a slight drop in level, it will not affect its popularity with readers;
But if the beginning is not well written, No matter how wonderful your writing is at the back, it will still be a hit-and-miss. If you can’t read the front part, who will read the rest of it?
As a result, the more Editor Wang read, the more exciting it became. The more he read, the more fascinated he became. He accidentally read seven or eight chapters.
At this time, Sister Zhang couldn't help calling him and woke him up directly.
"I'm so sorry. I accidentally read it. Mr. Su and Mr. Zhang, with my many years of editing experience, this book is definitely a book that will be popular throughout Hong Kong and even the Chinese community. For example, it travels to ancient times. This way of writing is simply a historical precedent. This author is really talented. We must win it. Who is the author? If you sign this book, it will be difficult for our newspaper to become popular!" Mr. Wang! The editor said excitedly.
“This is a novel written by Su Dong.” Sister Zhang said from the side.
At this time, she realized that Su Cheng was really not lying, and that this novel might really save the half-dead Chivalrous Literature Media Co., Ltd.
A newspaper can generally only publish about 10,000 words. If pictures are inserted, there will be even fewer words. However, "Xunqin Ji" has 1.5 million words, which is enough for "Chivalry Literary Novel Newspaper" to publish for several months. .
