Chapter 141: Vision Determines Vision
After Yao Yi returned to the room that night, he began to start the manuscript according to Qian Yi's revisions.
This was a lot of work, and it wasn't until two days later that he drove a Passat with a temporary license plate out of the 4S store and drove Qian Yi to deliver the printout.
In the president's office of Yao's headquarters, Yan Wenxiang was sitting opposite Yao Qi's desk and slowly closed the folder.
Yao Qi signed the document in front of him and put it aside, "Wen Xiang, don't be in a hurry to leave, after talking about business, let's talk about Yao Yi." What's going on with him lately?"
Yan Wenxiang reported: "Mr. Yao, the first eight million of the 50 million start-up capital you gave Yao Yipi has arrived. ”
Yao nodded, but did not speak.
However, after Yao Yi left Shang Yang, he was not in a hurry to carry out the next step, but walked around, saw a lot of things, and bought a car. ”
Yao Qi was slightly interested, and raised his eyebrows, "Oh, what car?"
Yan Wenxiang was a little speechless and said: "Passat receives the top version, 1.8T displacement. ”
"Huh, Passat?"
Yao Qi's lips opened slightly, obviously a little incomprehensible.
He even showed a rare shock.
If it is to take someone else's car to drive, Yao Qi also drove Santana in his early years, but this is Yao Yi's own choice.
The first car I bought was the Passat, not the younger and sportier BMW 3, nor the Audi A4 with both business and fashion.
See the car and know the person.
Such a gap makes Yao Qi, a well-informed person, unable to understand it.
"What is this stinky boy thinking, could it be that he is deliberately pretending to be old in front of me?"
Yao Qi muttered in his heart.
Yan Wenxiang said again: "It is said that Yao Yi paid special attention to safety configuration when choosing a car, and even went to the maintenance workshop to check the front and rear anti-collision beams before paying. He didn't buy one aimlessly, it seemed to be well thought out. ”
Although Yao Qi was surprised in his heart, he nodded quietly on his face, "It's a good thing to pay attention to safety." ”
"By the way, he seems to be preparing to publish a book recently. ”
Yao Qi was slightly disliked, "Publishing books? He liked to watch martial arts for a while when he was a teenager, and this is a literary dream that has revived? ”
"No, he wrote an English training textbook and planned to publish it for Shangjing Literature and Art. ”
"Oh, how did I not know he would do this?"
In just a few minutes, Yao Qi was caught off guard by two times in succession because of Yao Yi's matter, but he was worthy of Mr. Yao, and he did not lose his temper again.
"I guess he had some experience during his stay in Shangyang, so he might have written something to keep as a souvenir for himself. According to the feedback from Shangyang Xuanwu Branch, Yao Yi's teaching effect is indeed very good. ”
Yao Qi nodded his head to express satisfaction, "It's a good thing to talk about methods and summarize things." People who are good at using their brains can do everything better than others. If he hadn't been Yao Yi, he might have been an excellent English teacher. ”
Yao Qi is very satisfied with Yao Yi's current movements.
He was not overwhelmed by 50 million, and he was not in a hurry to pick some specious projects to plunge into with the money, but still pushed forward the previous things step by step.
At the same time, he is also observing and learning, trying to find a breakthrough from this world where everyone thinks is an iron bucket and all the money-making projects have been completed.
This shows that Yao Yi has a plan and a purpose in doing things.
Before many people decide to go to the sea to do business, they will have a feeling when they look at it, he thinks that the whole world that he sees in his eyes has been done, and he is full of people, and he always feels that it is not easy to do anything.
This mentality has not changed from '09 to '19.
If you want to find a business that pigs can do well, and find a job that can make a lot of money without much effort, this is the biggest confusion of ordinary people before they start business.
Times are always changing, and people's hearts are resting on their laurels.
That's because ordinary people can't afford to take risks and can't afford to fail, so their primary motivation for doing things is not how much money I can make on this, but that I am the least likely to lose money doing this.
But basically, the less risky things are, the less money you make, and even if you do it for a lifetime, it's just a small business.
This can't be said that they are stupid, this is the cruel reality under the limitations of their financial resources and capabilities, and it is the great wisdom of the ancestors who have been handed down for thousands of years that the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall.
For example, the general manager and editor-in-chief of Shangjing Literature and Art are trapped in this vision at this time.
After the meeting at Genting Restaurant, Qian Yi went back and carefully studied the first draft from beginning to end, just as Yao Yi suggested.
He even bought a few popular English reference books for comparison, but he didn't expect that this second intensive reading would be even more amazing than the first reading.
First of all, Yao Yi's choice of entry point is very exquisite, and more subtlely, because this is Yao Yi's first book, he has jumped out of the common stereotypes of veterans who think in a stereotyped way in the control of words, and the explanation is simple and simple, just right and lively.
After getting the revised version sent by Yao Yi by car, he carefully compared the revised points and was extremely satisfied.
finally mustered up the courage to knock on the office of editor-in-chief Liu Wende, and reported the contract conditions proposed by Yao Yi.
In the publishing house of Shangjing Literature and Art, Qian Yi, as the editor-in-chief of the top three in performance, has a certain degree of autonomy, and according to the conditions he reported to Yao Yi, he can basically make his own ideas.
If he applies again, with his seniority in the unit, he can get the first printing of 50,000 copies if he recommends it, but if he wants to go up, it is indeed not something he can decide.
The first printing of 100,000 copies, even the editor-in-chief Liu Wende does not have this authority, and the editor-in-chief Liu still needs to continue to report to the general manager Xiang Wannan, and has to hold a meeting in the editorial department to discuss and vote.
"Qian Yi, don't make me laugh, who do you say this Yao Yi is? I haven't heard of it! Where did he dare to print 100,000 copies for the first time?"
Liu Wende's facial expression is extremely rich.
Qian Yi rubbed his hands, "Brother Liu, listen to me, this textbook is really powerful, and I am particularly optimistic about it." Why don't you look at the manuscript when you go back?"
"If you don't look at it, don't look at it, what are you looking at! 100,000 copies, our printing cost and book number publicity cost add up to more than one million yuan, not to mention a novice author, even Mr. Yi Zhongtian didn't dare to print 100,000 copies for the first time. Qian Yi, you are our old employee, don't make such a principled mistake. ”
Yes, Qian Yi was directly blasted out by Liu Wende.
Seeing his reluctant expression when he left, Liu Wende added later, "With the relationship between the two of us, I can also trust your ability, but this matter is really too pitiful." I know you're not giving up, so I'll take you to the manager's side later. He's going to nod his head, and we'll officially discuss your book?"
Qian Yi's face was happy, but his heart was not steady.
Ten minutes later, the result was joy and sorrow.
Xiang Wannan, the grumpy general manager, almost blasted Qian Yi out with a roaring body.
"Get out of here! I've been doing something that I don't have, and I've got all the moths out of it. I'll tell you, no matter how optimistic you are about that person, if you give him back, the first printing will be 50,000 copies, not a single volume! Go, go! By the way, I've heard that the young writer Yue Ran is going to open a new book a few days ago, and you dealt with her last time, right? I'll let people give me a ticket, and you can go to the capital to get this thing done! I must get Yue Ran's new book in hand!
Xiang Wannan scolded painfully, but he did not deny the ability of his subordinate Qian Yi, and opened his mouth to mention the authority to 50,000 copies.
Qian Yi was so helpless that he could only follow Liu Wende out of the general manager's office with a disgraced face.
A middle-aged woman was waiting outside the door to see him look deflated, and she covered her mouth and snickered.
Qian Yi was unhappy in his heart, "Huang Xiaoqin, what are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at our editor-in-chief Qian, how can he still be as enthusiastic as a young man when he is old. No matter how much you like other people's books, you can't ask your manager for 100,000 copies. ”
Huang Xiaoqinpi smiled without smiling.
Qian Yi's mouth twitched, it's over, how can you tell Huang Xiaoqin's big mouth, and this matter will definitely spread all over the city in the society.
Huang Xiaoqin is another editor-in-chief of Shangjing Literature and Art, and he is also a strong contender for the top three in performance, and Qian Yi is a colleague, but he is a direct competitor.
Sure enough, that afternoon he heard someone talking about it in fragments.
Some people say that he is going to make a big mistake, others say that he may have accepted the benefits of other authors, and some people say that he is crazy.
Although no one said these words in front of him, Huang Xiaoqin, a stinky woman, came over from time to time to squeeze two sentences.
His henchman always performs the work of eyeliner perfectly, and gives him a 1510 report on any rumors he hears.
Qian Yi was so annoyed that he was so upset that he left with his bag.
He had just come downstairs when he received a text message on his phone.
Xiang Wannan really asked him to book him a train ticket to the capital next week.
This can't be said that Xiang Wannan is wearing small shoes for him, and he is promoting him.
Young writer Yue Ran is a new hot author in China in recent years, and almost every book can rush to the top ten of the best-selling lists of major bookstores.
Others can't do this job if they want to, just like after Qian Yi went out, Huang Xiaoqin followed to find Xiang Wannan, and that's all there was to it.
Qian Yi knew Manager Xiang's kindness, but he was unwilling in his heart.
Yueran's book may be regarded as "Quanzhen Law", but Yao Yi's book is "Jiuyang Divine Skill"!
