Chapter 79 The Rising Newspaper
After coming out of Yang Chaoye's office, Su Cheng did not leave the Su Group Building immediately, but came to the third floor of the building.
Originally, due to the small scale of Chiayi Literature Media Co., Ltd., the entire office was only about 80 square meters.
Now, as its scale grows larger, the entire office area has expanded to 200 square meters.
There are no longer only a dozen employees in the office, but more than fifty.
Whether it is the editorial department, investment department or printing department, many people have been recruited.
Su Cheng walked into the office, and the people inside recognized him immediately and said, "Hello, boss."
Su Cheng is now a celebrity in Xiangjiang. As an employee of his company , even if I have never met Su City in person, I have seen photos in newspapers and TV.
Su Cheng nodded and looked around the office. At this time, Chivalrous Literature and Media Company had been divided into two offices, one for management and one for ordinary employees.
However, a passage has been opened between the two offices, and the two offices are interconnected.
"Boss, you're here, please come in." Seeing Su Cheng, Editor-in-Chief Wang and Mr. Li immediately stood up from their respective posts to greet Su Cheng.
“I’ll just come and take a look.” Su Cheng said with a smile.
After all, I have written a novel for this place, so I have to find out how the current business situation is.
Speaking of which, there is a pretty good Hutchison Publishing House in Hutchison Whampoa, which mainly publishes English-language novels in Europe and the United States. Its strength is not bad in terms of Xiangjiang. The two companies can cooperate with each other. , it would be better if that side is responsible for publishing books.
Both sides belong to you, your palms are also flesh, and the back of your hands is also flesh. You can't just focus on the Su Group's side.
Of course, the two sides can also compete with each other in various developments. Only with competition can progress be achieved. The flowers in the greenhouse cannot withstand wind and rain, but healthy competition will make their progress faster.
Anyway, Xiao Ai has a lot of literary works. When more advanced computers are developed, Xiao Ai will upload them by himself, and Su Cheng will not have to worry about anything. Hutchison Publishing House is responsible for the English version of novels, It is also possible for Chiayi Company to be responsible for the Chinese version of the novel.
However, there is no need to think too much about this matter for the time being. The new computer is not yet available. The current efficiency is too low and he is too lazy to do it.
"The boss probably doesn't know me yet. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Li Shuai, and I am the general manager of Chivalrous Literature Media Co., Ltd." The middle-aged man in a suit next to Chief Editor Wang introduced himself.
As his name suggests, although Li Shuai is in his early forties, he does look somewhat handsome.
"Well, the company is asking you to work hard to get more profits for the group. The company will not treat you badly." Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Boss, let me report to you the recent situation of Chivalrous Literature Media Co., Ltd." After Su Cheng sat down on a chair, Mr. Li continued.
"Okay, you say it and I'll listen." Su Cheng nodded. "Since boss you gave the novel "Looking for Qin Ji" to our company, we followed your advice and released it for free for 7 days in advance. On average, only 100,000 copies were issued every day. As expected, it was very popular, and even some readers later In order to get newspapers, I queued up at some newsstands very early, causing the daily free newspapers to be distributed throughout Hong Kong in less than two or three hours.
The first day when fees were restored. , we originally thought that many readers would give up buying it, but unexpectedly it was still very popular, with the highest number of copies sold reaching 230,000. In the past month, it ranked first among all newspapers and periodicals in Hong Kong for nearly half a month. , if it hadn’t been for the hot news breaking out in the past few days, such as the Wharf shareholder war, the Hutchison Whampoa acquisition, and boss you taking over Hutchison Whampoa as the boss, etc., which led to a surge in Oriental Daily newspaper sales, maybe we would be the first The number of days can be more
Driven by the novel "Looking for Qin", we solicited short literary manuscripts from all over Xiangjiang. After screening, we published some excellent works in "Chivalry Literature Monthly". After ten days of publication, the sales volume has even reached more than 50,000 copies.
Today, our Chiayi Literary Media Company not only has the "Chivalry Literature Newspaper", but also added the "Chivalry Sports Newspaper", "Xiayi Horse Newspaper", "Xiayi News Morning Post", and "Xiayi Entertainment Newspaper" , "Chivalry Literature Monthly", etc. Driven by "Chivalry Literature Journal", the sales volume of other newspapers can also reach 5,000 to 30,000 copies per day. Now, our company's daily advertising revenue has grown to about 150,000 Hong Kong dollars a day. It is the subsidiary with the fastest growing profit of the group. ”
When Li Shuai reported to Su Cheng, he was also full of pride. Of course, he also knew that without the boss’s novel, such a scene would no longer exist.
Ten thousand words of daily serialization "Looking for Qin Ji" has become more and more famous now. Even martial arts masters such as Jin Daxia and Gu Daxia have published book reviews for "Looking for Qin Ji", which has made it even more popular.
Nowadays, a popular thing among readers in Hong Kong is to collect the "Chivalry Literature Newspaper" published from June 1st, especially the limited edition free issue of the newspaper. It is said that the price has now increased to 10 Hong Kong dollars. , one can imagine how popular "Xun Qin Ji" is.
In one month, 300,000 words were serialized. Who else?
You can’t find it in Xiangjiang!
Even its fame has begun to spread to Wanwan, Haojiang, Singapore and other places.
"Very good, develop well and don't let the company rely too much on my works." Su Cheng nodded.
"Yes, boss, so we are now taking advantage of the popularity of "Xun Qin Ji" to promote the brand of Chivalry, so that we can have our place among the many newspapers in Hong Kong, and we have now We are organizing a competition for essays on long martial arts novels, with rich rewards, which will definitely attract the participation of many first- and second-tier writers," said Mr. Li.
After "Looking for Qin" is completed, if no new good works appear, the sales of "Chivalrous Literature Journal" will definitely plummet. Therefore, now, we must make the brand bigger and attract more good works to be submitted, so that we can continue to do so. Be bigger and stronger.
As for the boss writing another good work for them? They didn't dare to think about it, and Su Cheng wouldn't say it for the time being, lest they lose the motivation to work hard.
"By the way, boss, we plan to publish the complete version of "Xun Qin Ji" when there are still about 100,000 words left in "Xun Qin Ji", so our book sales should be more." Mr. Li After thinking for a while, he said again.
The total number of "Xun Qin Ji" is about 1.5 million words, which means that if it is serialized 10,000 times a day, it can be serialized for five months. In these five months, a lot of things can be done.
Moreover, if the full version of "Xun Qin Ji" is released before the serialization is completed, many people must buy "Xun Qin Ji" to publish the novel in order to see all the follow-up content more quickly.
"It's a pretty good strategy. Also, I would like to make some suggestions. If you find some particularly excellent works here during the essay collection, you can reduce the number of serializations of "Xunqin Ji" in "Chivalry Literature Journal" and then put the new works into serialization. This way It can increase the exposure of new works." Su Cheng said with a smile, he has seen many similar operations in later generations.
“We have also prepared these strategies mentioned by the boss. In the later period, the serial number of "Xun Qin Ji" will be reduced to 5,000 words per day. In this way, the serialization time of "Xun Qin Ji" can not only be extended, but also Let other works develop." Li Shuai looked at Su Cheng with admiration, not expecting that his boss also had so many development strategies.
