Chapter 362 If you don't read your life for fifteen years, even if you call it a bright powder, it's in vain!
"Yes, to be rich is to be capricious. γγβ
Zhang Chu didn't want to miss this opportunity, it has always been his dream to open a small bookstore in Hanlinxuan all over the country, but after he could do it again in this life, he focused on the publishing field.
But writing a book doesn't seem to be a contradiction with opening a bookstore, and after you have money and time, of course, you have to fulfill your dreams!
Now, if he doesn't count the copyright income, the monthly manuscript fee is about 3 million yuan, and the two-month manuscript fee is not a pain in his muscles and bones.
Moreover, Zhang Chu's book sales in the UK and the United States are quite good, and the manuscript fee over there has not been counted in this.
Even if Zhang Bowen knew that his son was very rich, he didn't want the money to go down the drain, so he still persuaded him: "Then do you know what you need to prepare to open a bookstore? Where to buy goods, what books to buy, what is the business strategy, what style is the decoration design week, and what are the characteristics of your bookstore?"
Zhang Chu knew all these things, but he didn't have time to think about it carefully, after all, he just learned today that those stores were going to be taken back for re-bidding, and now he just asked for support.
"Dad, I haven't even found the bidding team yet, are you worried too far ahead? In case I fail to bid, it's just a waste of time and energy, what you said is what the bidding team should consider when making bids. β
Zhang Chu told the facts, now everything is only this intention, all actions have not yet begun, the bidding is not just throwing money to bid, but also has to come up with specific things.
After all, this is a competition with several bookstores, and everyone wants to get that store, and they have to use substantive things to earn points, because this bidding is a scoring system!
"Okay, okay, you can go and toss it yourself, and call me if you need to do anything. Zhang Bowen really didn't want to pour cold water on his son, so he let him accept the cruel experience of society.
"Thank you, Dad, the main thing is that this bidding method needs to be scored, if I only go to register a bookstore now, I will definitely not be able to compare with others in the qualification review. Anyway, our Hanlin Yuan is also an old bookstore for more than ten years, and it has recently opened a branch, which is much better than looking for someone else. β
After Zhang Chu hung up the phone, he began to search for related things on the Internet, he had never been in contact with bidding related things in his two lives, and he didn't know the specific process, so he definitely needed a special team.
Now there is less than a month left before the end of the bidding, and it is quite difficult to complete the bidding, especially Zhang Chu has to be busy studying and writing!
Looking at the specific requirements on the screen, Zhang Chu couldn't help but praise his wisdom and martial arts, fortunately, "Sou Shen Ji" has written more than 100,000 words, even if it is serialized at the same time in the newspaper and on the website, it can support it for a long time.
Now Menglong Culture hasn't even confirmed which newspaper it will update, and at the same time, he will take a little time to write the rest of the content.
At the beginning, I thought about writing all the content of "Sou Shen Ji" in one go, but now it seems that it is really too naΓ―ve, and there will always be all kinds of things in life.
Bidding is a technical job, and it is easy to be blinded by a lot of information and details, and Zhang Chu can only turn to external companies for help to do a good job in bidding.
Fortunately, as long as you have money, you can do anything, and the special bidding company has a professional team to help share the difficulties, but Zhang Chu did not go through Zhou Kang or Menglong Culture Media, but dialed the phone number of the other company after searching for relevant information on the Internet.
Yanjing Ruihua Enterprise Planning Co., Ltd. is a professional company approved by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, including various feasibility study reports, business plans, bidding documents, evaluation reports and other copywriting.
The projects they are responsible for are large and small, the qualification certification is in place, and the performance is very good, and the various major tenders completed are quite conspicuous, such as the construction of the new Capital Museum, the Yanjing Metro Line 4 project, etc., which are all obtained with the help of Ruihua planning!
Now Zhang Chu is more worried about whether his order will be too small, it is this kind of big business of hundreds of millions, more than one billion, and his bookstore seems to be a little too small, at most only a few million.
Originally, he was still worried before the call, and there were even various scenes of himself being harassed in his mind, but after answering the phone, he realized that everything was superfluous.
The other party did not despise the small amount this time, but arranged for Zhang Chu to go to the company tomorrow to discuss the entrustment situation in person.
"Hopefully it's time, after all, it's just a bid for a bookstore, and it's not a big project. β
Zhang Chu prayed silently, after being reborn, this was probably the moment when his blood burned again.
From the current point of view, his chances are very small, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he can't give up, maybe he can really see the scene of Hanlin Xuan appearing on the campus of Yan University!
β¦β¦
Time passed quietly in Zhang Chu's busyness, and when the bell rang on the university campus, he put his satchel behind his back and rode his bicycle towards his home quickly.
Matcha was napping on the sofa as always, but at this time Zhang Chu didn't have time to interact with the little guy, so he just threw the bag on the sofa and reached out to open the computer.
A few days ago, he told the professional team of Ruihua planning that he could accept, and the other party immediately started various exploration activities, the first thing is to get the rent!
What is the rent of the rest of the storefronts in Yenching University, and if there is to be competition, how much is the price more reasonable without putting pressure on your own bookstore.
For schools, it is necessary to hope that the rent will be higher and higher, and it is necessary to prevent other competitors from paying higher prices when bidding.
When the hardware strength is not enough, you can also consider the strength of the software, such as being able to get books and works that other bookstores can't have, or negotiating with the publisher to print a certain edition of the work.
For Zhang Chu, if he can get a cooperation agreement with most publishers, it will definitely add a lot of points.
So he originally wanted to hide Menglong Culture Media, but he had to confess to Zhou Kang yesterday, after all, this requires the help of the brokerage company, and at the same time, the purpose cannot be exposed!
Now he is in a hurry to come back to see how it has worked, and how many publishers have expressed their goodwill.
"More than 50 publishers have agreed to our request, but we didn't say that it was for this bookstore bid, but for yours. β
Zhou Kang's email listed the names of the publishing institutions so far, and many people thought that this was Menglong Culture Media for the convenience of Hanlinxuan, but in fact, this idea was not wrong.
After all, Zhang Chu went to bid in the name of Han Linxuan, and by the way, he helped his father solve the problem with the publishing house, so that he could save the part of the money that was exploited by the middle distributors!
Zhang Chu said to himself: "It seems that the current situation is quite good, I hope it can be useful." β
In recent days, he has used the word hope more often than in the past combined.
The bidding team is busy collecting all kinds of information and data, so there is not much news coming back, and Zhang Chu also knows the efficiency problem, and if he keeps urging, it may have the opposite effect.
Now his heart is in turmoil at this time, and he can't calm down to write "Sou Shen Ji", so he simply closed the document, and he opened the webpage to see what netizens commented on the book "Wanli Fifteen Years".
It's been a week since it officially met with readers, and it's not a lot of words compared to the rest of the works, and most people will read it at a very fast pace.
On Douban Reading, more than 60,000 people are already scoring, and the score is just 88 points, which is expected to go up again!
More and more historians are talking openly about this book, such as Shang Chuan, Xiao Gongqin and others have promoted this work to the outside world more than once.
Young scholars who are also active in Yenching University have repeatedly read this work, attracted by its novel historical descriptions, and encouraged each other to open up a new future of historiography.
For many young people who want to write historical works, the academic influence of this book is quite great, and some people have begun to imitate "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" to start writing academic research, and among the teachers and students of the History Department of Yan University, they have a copy!
In fact, the book's impact on scholars is not limited to the history profession.
In an interview, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Arts praised Zhang Chu, telling the Beijing News: "Zhang Chu's works are by no means the arrogance, conceit, or even arrogance and domineering that are common in some historical works." I admired Zhang Chu's scholarly demeanor, so when I was about to write the book "In Search of Harmony in the Natural Order", I deliberately applied the historiographical spirit I felt in "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" to my own historical narrative. In a sense, he inspires me!"
Li Xiaobo, as the host of CCTV's science and education channel, often gives people a sense of elegance, in fact, he is also a professor at Yenching Normal University, and he has a humorous and serious comment in the program: "Old good books are better than bad new books." Zhang Chu's "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" is a mirror that reflects how our predecessors behaved and did things, and at the same time tells us that a modern country cannot grow in the jar of Confucianism. β
The well-known writer Wang Suo often gives people a sense of cynicism, this freewheeling writer always has a high vision, and many famous figures in the literary circle have been scolded by him.
However, such a person has become the strongest fan of "Wanli Fifteen Years", not only read the work himself, but also posted several comments on Weibo, and even wrote a review after reading it and published it on "Xinming Daily"!
"When I was young, I always thought that history was just a pile of old papers, and maybe the sequelae of studying "History of the Chinese Revolution" brought about it, so I was afraid of history books, until a few days ago I bought a copy of "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" because of a friend's recommendation.
Zhang Chu is a great student, his works are like a window that opens my horizons.
Why aren't our history books good?
Because rigid thinking limits people's vision, consumes individuality and courage, and causes the lifeless life of historical works.
We don't have any sense of stability, and if we blindly take conservative measures for the sake of stability and security, it is actually a kind of evasion and sacrifice. β
Wang Suo not only wrote these contents, but he also got reflections from the fifteenth year of Wanli, from the reform and opening up to the political system, it can be seen that he is indeed seriously thinking, and it is by no means a general talk!
Horizontally, it is a peak on the side of the ridge, and the height is different from far and near.
In addition to scholars and writers, many entrepreneurs are also lovers of literary works, such as Zeng Wenqi, the CEO of Mingming Company, who directly combined this book with organizational management, which has a unique interpretation.
"The value of the book "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" lies in the fact that when we observe these people in the organizations around us, we can see the future rise and fall of the enterprise from their daily practices, ideas, and opinions, so as to cultivate an insight into the future. β
Because of the recommendations of these celebrities, "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" frequently appeared in newspaper news, and the Internet obviously made it more convenient for readers to communicate, and more and more people came into contact with this book.
The evaluation of ordinary readers is obviously more authentic and credible, it is like a cup of kung fu tea, if it is fermented and accumulated for a long time, it will definitely let the influence gradually spread from the academic community to the public.
On Douban reading, on Dangdang.com and Amazon.com, the sales volume is amazing, and the evaluation below is also amazing!
Some reviews have received quite a high number of likes, especially on the Dangdang books, where the praise rate of "Wanli Fifteen Years" has reached an appalling 995!
Readability, solid content, and excellent quality are the keywords given by consumers.
Throughout the book, each character is trying to adapt, but they all fall into a strange circle - they are clamped down by the civil official group, so that the development of the entire dynasty almost came to a standstill in the fifteenth year of Wanli. Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. β
"Just this year made me think about the outline of the entire history, the dismal ending of Zhang Juzheng and Yan Song, the modest compromise of Shen Shixing, the sadness of Emperor Wanli's helpless passivity and slackness, although Hai Rui is honest and honest, but he is not allowed to be in the world, it is too moving!"
Not only do I understand the crux of the cultural and political system, and people's hearts are distorted by the system, but I also learn a kind of thinking that looks at problems from a broad perspective, which is highly recommended. β
"I always thought that Zhang Chu's writing was superficial, and there was nothing really worth exploring. But this book subverted my thinking, it turned out that Zhang Chu turned out to be such a talented young man, he should not be restrained!"
"The scumbags trembled silently, the opinions of the gods are too profound, I can only summarize two words, that is, it is good-looking, this is definitely a good book. β
"If you don't read it for fifteen years in your life, even if you call it a fan, it's in vain!" [This chapter was first published.love.have.sound.,Please remember the URL ()]
