Volume 1 Ten Years of Silence Chapter 40 Paving the way
At present, Zhu Xian has written more than 800,000 words, according to the current progress, it is estimated that it will be a little difficult to end by the end of the year, but the contract signed with Gao Feng before clearly stated that the book will be completed at the end of the year, of course, if Chen Xiao is willing to pile up the number of words, but the gain of doing so outweighs the loss, and it is a blasphemy of the original work!
"Stinky boy, why are you willing to call me! I just have good news to tell you, the total sales of the three books have exceeded 200,000 copies!"
It's already gratifying to have this result in a month's time, but after all, it's just a string of numbers, and Chen Xiao doesn't have much feeling!
"Uncle Gao, Zhu Xian may not be able to finish the draft by the end of this year!"
Under normal circumstances, every book will be stuck, not to mention that Zhu Xian is so large, and you are still very lacking in knowledge and experience at this age, you need inspiration to create this thing, and you can't rely on imagination!"
"Sort of!" Chen Xiao is not because of the stuck, strictly speaking, Zhu Xian Chen Xiao only borrowed from the plot development in the original book, the character portrayal and narrative are all self-organized language, after all, although I have read the original work, it is impossible to memorize more than a million words word for word! Although Chen Xiao also has to take time to conceive, but it is not stuck, after all, he can be regarded as standing on the shoulders of giants! But since Gao Feng has made an excuse for himself, then go down the slope!
"To tell you the truth, I didn't expect you to finish it this year, and we plan to publish six volumes this year, after all, the market has to digest it slowly! If you can really finish it this year, I'm still worried about the quality!
"Well, I'm looking for Uncle Gao to see if there's room for maneuver!"
"Since you've opened your mouth, I don't have a reason not to help, wait for my news!"
"Then it's troublesome Uncle Gao!"
After these several contacts, Chen Xiao can see that Gao Feng is a very pure person, and he can guess the reason why he values himself! In the past, companies such as Yiwang will launch a personal free space this year, and the personal website has ushered in an opportunity for development, and then it will not be until next year that the online text will begin to rise! With the interest in online literature, it is difficult for the publishing house to have a foothold, this wave Chen Xiao will naturally not miss it, and Gao Feng may be a good partner!
It took Chen Xiao more than a week to get the Internet café management software done, and it didn't take so much time, but at this time and in the previous life, many things are still different from the previous life, Chen Xiao is not omnipotent, some things are just understood, so I have to check the information and explore, so I said that there is still a big difference between knowing how to do it and doing it, and many things can only be played by Chen Xiao himself!
In short, the bumpy or bumpy is to build the basic framework of Mu Xue's Chinese network, of course, compared with some Chinese networks in the previous life, it is simply low, but there is no way Chen Xiao does not have so much time to do it, although Mu Xue has been recruiting relevant people early, but there has been no good news! No way, this is also related to the geographical location of Shaanxi Province, and the dissemination of information is not comparable with Shanghai and Shenzhen! And the current channels for recruiting talents are through offline, so the limitations are great! Development takes a long process, and Chen Xiao can only try to get used to it! Of course, Chen Xiao has also left his contact information in several forums, and occasionally people have heard that he has lost interest in Anxi City!
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and after a few months, I finally came to apply for a personal job! On the phone, it was only briefly explained that someone would come for an interview, as for the other Mu Xue, no one understood, so Chen Xiao could only come forward in person!
Chen Xiao looked at the resume in his hand: Zhou Wensheng, graduated from a university in Shanghai in 95, majoring in computer science!
"How did you come up with the idea of going back to Anxi?" Chen Xiao asked!
It wasn't until Chen Xiao really sat in front of him and opened his mouth that Zhou Wensheng realized that this was his interviewer, and he originally thought it was the boss's son!
"It's hard to find a job in this major, and after staying in Shanghai for more than a year, I can't get around, so I came back to see if there is a suitable job!" Zhou Wensheng said truthfully! In this era, it is really difficult to find a job for computer majors, and it is only a few months old to take Yiwang as an example, which can be imagined!
"Have you done any projects yourself?"
Zhou Wensheng took out a CD from his bag, and wanted to come over to help, but when he saw Chen Xiao, he waved his hand and sat down again! Chen Xiao moved to the computer desk, connected the optical drive, loaded Zhou Wensheng's program, and looked at it!
Although he couldn't see the picture of Chen Xiao's computer, but looking at Chen Xiao's serious look, Zhou Wensheng couldn't sit still and couldn't help but get up and leaned over, Chen Xiao didn't say anything, this was originally a very taboo thing!
"You can also program?" Looking at Chen Xiao's skillful operation, Zhou Wensheng couldn't help but ask!
"A little bit!"
"I think you're fifteen years old, how can you do this?"
"I'm in junior high school this year!"
Chen Xiao's answer subverted Zhou Wensheng's cognition, this is also too demonic, when he was in junior high school, he thought about it all day long, and he just studied it!
After reading it for a while, Chen Xiao stopped, although the writing is average, of course, this is compared to himself, but it is okay, the people who can go to college in this era are very diligent and hard-working, unlike those college students in the previous life who only pursued sixty points around girls all day long!
"How much salary do you expect?" Chen Xiao only needs a person who can pass the technical test at present, as for the design architecture and the like, who can be better than himself! Of course, the purpose of keeping Zhou Wensheng is not only because of technology, Chen Xiao values more because of connections! After all, he must know a lot of people in the same major who came out of college!
"One thousand!" Zhou Wensheng's voice was obviously out of breath with an inquiring tone, this salary is almost worth the salary of a programmer in Shanghai!
"I'll give you a thousand and a half a month, but I have a request!"
"You say!" Zhou Wensheng subconsciously thought that he had heard it wrong! Who had ever seen this kind of interviewer, and there was even someone who took the initiative to raise his salary!
"Dig people, dig people you know who can still do the programming level for me, the more unlimited people, the better! I will give you a bonus of 500 for every person I dig!"
"This ...... I'm afraid it's not easy!After all, our Shaanxi Province is closed to information, and the timeliness of a lot of information in this line is very important!" Zhou Wensheng was frightened by Chen Xiao's generosity, and thought for a few seconds and said!
"There's no money to be made!"
"I'll try my best!" Zhou Wensheng nodded!
"You can negotiate the salary, as long as it's not too much!"
Hearing this, Zhou Wensheng was a little more confident!
"Can I ask what we're going to do?" Zhou Wensheng wanted to ask just now!
"I can't tell you for the time being, but I'll tell you when you get a job!
After all, Yiwang can be regarded as a vane of the Internet industry, although the information is still very closed in this era not long after its establishment, but Zhou Wensheng also has his own circle and sources!
"I'll join the company as soon as possible!" The boss is so young and so big that he can't help but arouse Zhou Wensheng's interest!
Muxue Technology is a company that Chen Xiao asked Geng Dongdong to help register some time ago, and the office location is also near Muxue Stationery, because the team has not yet been set up, it is estimated that some positions will be held by Muxue Stationery for a long time!
Driven by high salary and curiosity, Zhou Wensheng came to Muxue Technology the next day to join the company!
"What kind of profit does this rely on?" Zhou Wensheng couldn't help but ask after reading the 1.0 version of Mu Xue's Chinese network!
"In addition to the placement of advertisements, I have no other plans to make profits in recent years!" "There are no advertisements to say that after all, there are only millions of Chinese netizens now, and they will have to survive the Internet bubble for 2,000 years! If a website does not have the accumulation of popularity and the precipitation of members, premature charging profits cannot retain people, and Chen Xiao, the old road of a certain Chinese network in his previous life, does not want to go!
"Then this investment is not small!" Zhou Wensheng could hear Chen Xiao's determination, but he couldn't figure it out! It is estimated that only a madman or a panicked person with a lot of money would do this!
Chen Xiao has long had the best plan to burn money on the Internet, with Mu Xue stationery and Internet cafes, Chen Xiao will definitely not be short of money!
Chen Xiao took the initiative to say some future ideas and plans, and Zhou Wensheng was convinced! I thought that Chen Xiao would be a little bit of what he said, and he really knew a little bit!
Chen Xiao didn't paint cakes for Zhou Wensheng, in fact, there was no need to paint at all, there was such a boss Zhou Wensheng could already imagine a beautiful picture of the future! Naturally, he spared no effort to dig up people, and he didn't care whether the phone bill was expensive or not! Zhou Wensheng finally gathered a small team of six people under all kinds of coercion and temptation! The team is currently brought by Zhou Wensheng first, although it is not suitable, but the person was summoned by Zhou Wensheng! I can only wait for the suitable person to be found before arranging it!
After recruiting some more clerical staff and editors, Mu Xue's Chinese network began its journey! At present, most of the book resources on the Chinese network are scanned masterpieces, and almost no authors have settled in! First, it has just started and has no popularity, and most of the people who are now surfing the Internet are going to Grand Theft Auto or small movies! For a while, it is estimated that many people will find it difficult to accept this model, although it is very convenient!
Of course, Zhuxian is also serialized on Muxue's Chinese network, but it lacks a suitable opportunity to advertise for free, and after being known, Zhuxian will definitely attract a large number of loyal users!
As for Gao Feng Chen Xiao, he doesn't know how to open this mouth, after all, he is now like a fish in water in Baihua, and Zhu Xian's current sales can be described as thriving, Baihua Literature and Art will definitely not abandon this meritorious man, as for Gao Feng himself, it is estimated that he will not throw away this watermelon to pick up sesame seeds!
