Text Chapter 239 The action of buying and buying
Zou Ming, Pan Ziyu and Peng Qingguo have been busy for more than a month, after the reorganization of Maimai.com and the merger of Sky Book City, they received tens of millions of yuan of investment from the development of Zhouguang, most of which was used by Zou Ming for the next development of Maimai.com, and the other part was allocated to the audio-visual section of the book in charge of Peng Qingguo.
According to the plan formulated by Huang Jinshu and Zou Ming, the book and audio will play a very important role in the next development of Maimai.com.
This separate section is named Maimai Bookstore, and Maimai.com will use Lao Cha and Xiong Da's new works to promote the promotion of Maimai Bookstore, and then let Maimai Bookstore drive the development of the entire Maimai.com through the method of point to face.
Zou Ming and Pan Ziyu acted separately during this time, running between various cities in China, on the one hand, looking for express logistics companies around the country to reach cooperation, on the other hand, they are also seeking the support of the postal department, because in today's private express logistics has not become bigger and stronger, the postal service is still the only giant of domestic logistics.
If you can get the cooperation of the postal service, the development of Maimai.com will be much smoother.
Not long ago, Zou Ming specially rushed back from Shanghai. Because Huang Jinshu introduced a company called "Easy Pay" to him, according to Huang Jinshu, "Easy Pay" is a newly established financial company, and its main project is an online third-party payment platform!
Zou Ming knew the importance of the third-party payment platform to Maimai.com, so he put down everything and rushed back to Suicheng.
Before coming into contact with "Easy Pay", Zou Ming had already guessed that the relationship between this company and Zhouguang must be unusual.
Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Maimai.com urgently needs a third-party payment platform to cooperate with the development of the online shopping business, and after the completion of the restructuring, such a company almost tailor-made for Maimai.com was established?
Or take the initiative to send hugs to come to the door to cooperate?
Sure enough, after meeting with the person in charge of "Easy Pay", Zou Ming learned that Zhouguang accounted for more than eighty percent of the company's equity, and the rest of the shares were held by a financial company called Jiangda Securities.
In other words, even if Zou Ming disagrees, "Easy Pay" will reach a cooperative relationship with Maimai.com, because this is the layout and arrangement of Zhouguang.
What's more, Zou Ming couldn't find a reason to refuse.
"Easy Pay" has taken care of everything, and they have received the support of two of the four major commercial banks in China to complete the matching of capital circulation. The approval documents of the relevant departments have also been obtained, which is not an easy task, after all, this third-party payment platform is still the first in China, and there is no second one in China.
Not only that, "Easy Pay" also helped Maimai.com connect with the postal service by virtue of its own network resources, which solved a big problem for Maimai.com.
At the same time, the people in "Easy Pay" are all professionals in the financial field, which saves Zou Ming a lot of trouble.
As a result, Maimai.com and "Easy Pay" have successfully become strategic partners, and the two sides have carried out comprehensive docking.
After making these preparations, the next step is to buy and buy bookstores.
Peng Qingguo was naturally not idle, he merged all the previous resources of Sky Book City into the Maimai bookstore after reorganization, and the books that were originally on sale were not taken off the shelves. In addition, the original users of Sky Book City have also been imported into Maimai.com, and the same is true for Maimai.com, so the total number of registered users has been greatly improved.
After everything was ready, Peng Qingguo finally met with Tiancheng Culture on behalf of Maimai.com.
According to Huang Jinshu, the new works of Lao Cha and Xiong Da have been authorized to Tiancheng Culture for distribution, and Peng Qingguo only needs to find Tiancheng Culture for specific matters.
Of course, Tiancheng Culture only had a record business before, and this book release was also the first time, so Peng Qingguo, a person who is familiar with the publishing process, naturally took care of the application for the book number and publishing license.
The person who negotiated with Peng Qingguo on behalf of Tiancheng Culture was Xie Weizhu from the marketing department, because Tiancheng Culture did not have a special publishing department, so he could only be responsible for these things temporarily.
On this day, Peng Qingguo came to Tiancheng Culture to find Xie Weizhu again.
After meeting several times, the two have become quite familiar, and Xie Weizhu's steady style also makes Peng Qingguo quite impressed.
"Mr. Peng, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is about one million words, and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" is slightly shorter, and it is estimated that there are three volumes. Xie Weizhu said: "As for how to launch the market, you are professional, I won't say more." ”
"Okay, leave it to me. Peng Qingguo said: "Mr. Xie, have you read these two books, are they good?"
Speaking of this, Xie Weizhu came to his senses, and his originally slightly dull expression was a little more excited:
"It's not just good-looking, although I only have electronic text in my hand, and it looks a little inconvenient to put it on the computer, but the other day I almost stayed up all night!"
Peng Qingguo wanted to ask Xie Weizhu what was going on with the two panda eyes on his face just now, but he saw it.
Having worked in the publishing industry for many years, Peng Qingguo knows a wide range of readers. A middle-aged man like Xie Weizhu, who has a stable career and strong self-discipline, is generally not so obsessed with a certain book.
Even people like Xie Weizhu are uncontrollable all night, which shows how attractive this is.
"Tell me about it. Peng Qingguo said.
"I personally like "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", let me tell you, the character of Chu Liuxiang has simply fulfilled my martial arts dream for many years. Handsome, chic, brave and strategic, there are a few confidantes around him, and they feel envious when they look at it. Xie Weizhu said: "But "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is also very good, Lao Cha's style can really be described as magnificent! I won't talk about the specific plot, so as not to reduce your fun, anyway, I can say that this is a work that is not inferior to "Dragon Babu"!"
Peng Qingguo was itchy by him: "No, I have to take a look when I go back tonight." ”
"Look, don't forget about business. Also, you must not leak those texts, otherwise it will be a big disaster. Xie Weizhu reminded.
"Got it. Peng Qingguo nodded: "By the way, if there are no other problems, we can sign the contract." ”
"Yes. Xie Weizhu agreed.
In accordance with the established cooperation between the two parties, Tiancheng Culture handed over "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" to Maimai.com for online distribution. Maimai.com charges promotion fees according to the agreed proportion, which is not large, and is almost negligible compared to the share ratio occupied by traditional publishing companies such as Crown Publishing House or Wanshan Group.
At the same time, Peng Qingguo is also responsible for the printing aspect, and the specific cost Tiancheng Culture will pay separately.
After Maimai.com signed a contract with Tiancheng Culture, Lao Cha and Xiong Da respectively released news on the Zhouguang blog, saying that they were about to launch a new work, and also posted the title of the book.
After this was announced by the two authors, martial arts fans all over the world went crazy. The news released by Lao Cha and Xiong Da has a sensational effect that is even more powerful than Han Zhucai's work of closing the mountain.
Lao Cha and Xiong Da, two writers who have only debuted for one year, have achieved results that are not inferior to those martial arts masters, and have set domestic sales records one after another.
"Dragon Babu" and "Peerless Twins" are still in the hot selling stage, and after China, their foreign distribution is also very popular with Chinese.
Many people know that literary creation is a long work, and with so many martial arts writers in China, it is common for them to write a work in three or five years, let alone those who sharpen their swords in ten years. The most prolific martial arts writer in China only publishes one work every two years on average.
And the aftermath of these two martial arts masterpieces has not dissipated, Lao Cha and Xiong Da are about to launch new works, and thousands of book fans are surrounded by a strong sense of happiness, but they are also worried about whether the quality of this new book will be affected.
However, some people have also suggested that looking at the pen power of these two gods, it is clear that they are not the kind of rookies with immature literary styles, and they are very likely to be late masters. Their work, perhaps written many years ago, has only recently been published.
This statement has been recognized by many book fans, and another situation that has attracted everyone's attention is that Lao Cha and Xiong Daduo both stated at the same time that the new book will not be serialized on the Internet, nor will it be sold in physical bookstores, but after it is printed into a book, it will be directly authorized to Maimai.com and distributed in Maimai bookstores.
Many people have heard of such a consumption model when buying books online, but very few have tried it.
Although many people agree that Lao Cha and Xiong Da are most likely not newcomers, the way they publish their works is very trendy.
"Dragon Babu" and "Peerless Double Pride" were first published in the forum with the largest traffic in China, and then transferred to the newly launched Zhouguang blog, attracting almost all netizens from major forums to the Zhouguang blog.
Now, they have directly abandoned the serialization, and even bypassed the physical bookstore, and only sold it in the Maimai bookstore.
This is sad for those book lovers who are old and don't even know how to use the Internet. Fortunately, they generally have children and nephews, so these young people have received orders from their elders to pay close attention to the dynamics of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang".
But even among young people, a large percentage of them have not tried online shopping. As a result, they have paid attention to Maimai.com, especially Maimai bookstores.
Zou Ming took the opportunity to announce the upgrade of Maimai.com, officially introducing the "Easy Pay" system to ensure the safety of users' consumption, and at the same time reminded users to use the postal service or local courier companies to receive goods.
For the new thing of third-party payment platform, the majority of users are very curious, and at the same time worry about whether such a payment method is really safe.
And "Easy Pay" also put forward the slogan of "you dare to use, I dare to pay" in a timely manner to express its determination.
As a result, the number of registered users of Maimai.com has skyrocketed in a short period of time, which has attracted the attention of the entire Internet in China.
