Chapter 155: Simply
"Hello Zhuang Yan, my name is Yao Qian, and I am in ...... as an undergraduate."
"No, no, Mr. Yao, what is your name, which school graduation resume you have on it, I want to hear from you now about your work experience. Yao Qian was about to introduce himself, but was interrupted by Zhuang Yan.
In fact, they also have work experience on their resumes, but Zhuang Yan still wants to hear them say it in person, which is easier to understand a person faster.
Only then did Yao Qian understand why the time of the previous applicants was so short, and it turned out that Zhuang Yan's interview method was so direct and rude.
Taking a deep breath, Yao Qian organized the language and began to say: "After I graduated from university, I set up a magazine with my classmates, but the magazine was only two years and I couldn't do it. ”
He originally wanted to talk about his ideals and ambitions for running a magazine at that time, as well as the business opportunities he later found in advertising, but thinking of Zhuang Yan's direct interview method, he still chose to describe it more simply.
Zhuang Yan became interested: "You have accumulated a lot of channels before, is there any publishing in the middle?"
"Absolutely. Yao Qian stood up and found a bit of state, "We are a magazine company, and we must have dealings with publishing, and we also have business dealings with many media, otherwise we can't do advertising and promotion later, after all, to do advertising and promotion, media resources are very important." ”
Zhuang Yan nodded, and asked again: "Since you have started advertising and promotion, why don't you continue to do it, is there a problem with the channel?"
Yao Qian heard that Zhuang Yan seemed to be particularly concerned about the problem of channels, and he said: "There is no problem with the channel, but there is a lack of funds......
He said again about the fact that there are large companies and big funds entering their industry, and Zhuang Yan probably understood that the resources and channels he said should not be too strong, otherwise these resources and channels alone would not make him give up starting a business for twenty or thirty thousand a month's work.
But Zhuang Yan didn't care how many resources Yao Qian had and how many channels he had, he valued more that this person had experience dealing with the media industry and publishers.
Yao Qian is Zhuang Yan's interview so far, and he feels the most satisfied, although he was surprised when he recognized himself at first, but he was able to calm down quickly, at least he didn't ask for an autograph like the previous people.
In addition, judging from this person's experience, he is still very stamina, very resistant to stress, and has a very sensitive sense of smell. The important thing is that his academic qualifications are also very consistent with his own requirements.
"Do you have any requirements for salary?" Zhuang Yan asked.
Yao Qian's expression froze, and he usually only asked this question at the end of the interview.
"Mr. Zhuang, I would like to ask what my job is, to be honest, I still don't know what the position of 'Business Editor' is for. Yao Qian asked frankly.
Zhuang Yan smiled: "You know me and know what I do." ”
"Of course, I've read all of your works. Yao Qian nodded.
"Your job is to help me with some work things, basically copyright, and if necessary, you may also need to help me with media PR. Zhuang Yan said.
Yao Qian was overjoyed in his heart, "Teacher Zhuang, if I understand correctly, are you looking for a writer agent?"
"Well, yes, it's the writer's agent. Zhuang Yan nodded, Yao Qian could know the writer's agent, which made him very satisfied.
"Since Mr. Zhuang wants to find a writer agent, I think I am very suitable, although I have no experience in this field, but I have founded a magazine and dealt with various publishers, so I know more about this aspect. And I've done advertising, and I have no problem with PR at all. Yao Qian straightened his chest and began to sell himself vigorously.
Zhuang Yan waved his hand, "I already know your experience and your major, whether you are qualified for this job, I will naturally have my own considerations, I am now asking you if you have any problems with the treatment of this job." ”
"Not at all, I personally didn't have any problems with the treatment. Yao Qian said.
Zhuang Yan didn't expect Yao Qian to speak so easily, in fact, the treatment of a writer's agent is not this fixed salary at all, but a commission, under normal circumstances, a writer's agent will not sign only one writer, and many writers' agents will have several writers in their hands.
And the kind that Zhuang Yan is looking for can't be completely said to be a writer's agent, in fact, he is more inclined to be an assistant who helps him deal with all aspects of affairs, and only serves him alone.
Otherwise, although there are not many writer agents in China, there will always be one, and he can just attach one at random, so why bother to find another one. And even if a person like Yao Qian is excellent, there is still a gap between him and a professional writer agent.
But that's not what Zhuang Yan is looking for, he wants to have a partnership that he has led from the beginning, or an employment relationship.
Some professional writer agents will interfere with the writer's own creation, for example, the writer wants to publish a book, but the agent is not very optimistic, and will give various opinions, or even directly do not recommend publishing.
It's okay for famous writers, even if the writer's agent doesn't recommend publishing, they have no problem having to publish. And some small writers, the manuscript has to be selected by the agent, the agent thinks it is good, and will help you operate, and the agent thinks it is not good, then it is embarrassing, so you can only call back and rewrite it. Because if you don't listen to the writer's agent, he won't operate for you, your book won't be published at all, and even if it does, the results won't be good.
Although being a writer seems to be a more noble profession, when it comes to this, many situations are no different from entertainment stars and sports stars, and in the relationship with agents, it is also a very real question of who is in charge of whom.
Fortunately, Zhuang Yan started from a high start, so he didn't need to think about these things, and he had more freedom.
Zhuang Yan was very satisfied with Yao Qian, this was the best one he felt in today's interview so far, but he didn't make a decision on the spot, but said to Yao Qian: "Okay, if you don't have other questions, then our interview will end here, and I will inform you if the results come out later." ”
After saying goodbye to Zhuang Yan and walking out of the conference hall, Yao Qian breathed a long sigh of relief, he actually wanted to ask Zhuang Yan for an autograph just now, but in the end he still didn't pull down this face.
When leaving "Ande Guangsha", Yao Qian also glanced back, he was glad that he had not left before, but at the same time, he was a little apprehensive, not knowing what the final result would be.
The interview time was too short, and his communication with Zhuang Yan was three questions and three answers, and he had no chance to show himself more at all, which made him very bottomless.
He looked at the cars flowing on the road, and sighed with some self-deprecation, when he entered this gate, he still had a dispensable attitude, and when he left this gate, he became a gain and a loss.
But then he adjusted his mentality and told himself that even if he was not admitted in the end, today was a special experience, and it was an extraordinary gain to be able to chat with Zhuang Yan for so long.
