waited until he and Tang He got on the bus, and Wu Weicai, who was yawning, seemed to remember something, and asked Tang He: "Old Tang, Lu Guoxin finally came to Bingzhou, why don't we invite him to a meal?"

"Another day, he'll be here soon. Tang He replied.

When the time comes, we must invite him to Erlongshan University for a boiling four seasons. ”

Tang He was silent.

Just now, in addition to explaining his expectations to Li Zheng and Lu Guoxin, the focus was to discuss the company's next move.

Now that the company has been formalized, it still needs to recruit some necessary personnel, which are all in charge of Li Zheng. Tang He is concerned about the overall layout of the excellent bookstore.

One of the most pressing issues for the company at present is -

Do you want to open a franchise store in Bingzhou City?

According to the strategic vision of 'rural areas surrounding cities', the current goal of Youpin Bookstore is to occupy the book rental market at the county and prefecture-level cities by free means, and form a brand scale as soon as possible.

The success of the counties and cities in the northeast of Hebei proves that Tang He's strategy is very successful.

So in the face of Bingzhou, the capital city of Hedong Province with a population of nearly one million, will Youpin Bookstore temporarily cross over, or will it open up franchise stores in the urban area while opening up the markets of the counties under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou?

First of all, he is a little unconfident in the previous free tactics, can the investment of less than 1,000 yuan attract franchisees?

Bingzhou is always a provincial capital, and even if people here are no longer aware of the brand or anything, the smart mind knows how to ask a few more whys, and there will always be a shrewd bookstore owner who questions the pie in the sky.

In addition, the insight of people in the provincial capital is always stronger than that of the people in the county, will the black books currently provided by the excellent bookstore be noticed?

This is no small matter!

Although most people in this era have a tolerant attitude towards pirated books and black books, and the government also pays attention to the fact that the people do not hold officials accountable, there are always treacherous people and nosy people who give away others to their own detriment.

Therefore, Tang He is very cautious about whether the excellent bookstore can enter the urban area of the state.

It's just that the time left for Tang He won't be too long.

According to the original history, in 1999, Deyi Pavilion will be opened in Bingzhou. Tang He must make the brand of Youpin Bookstore deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and seize the market before its opening.

So Tang He needs someone to help come up with ideas, one person counts the short, the other counts the long, and the three stinkers are also on top of Zhuge Liang.

After listening to Tang He's hesitation, Li Zheng thought that he couldn't waste food because of choking, and it was a good strategy to solve problems when he encountered them, and he couldn't hold back because he was afraid of this.

Lu Guoxin wanted to express his opinion very much, but unfortunately his vision was still shallow, so he could only pat his chest and ensure that Tang He would hit him.

After synthesizing Li Zheng's opinions, Tang He finally decided that Youpin Bookstore would officially enter the urban area of Bingzhou from now on.

He wants to build a brand store directly operated by himself in the urban area of Bingzhou to accumulate experience for the future entry of Youpin Bookstore into first-tier cities.

As for what he was worried about......

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!

The reason why he has such courage is that Tang He now has more funds on hand.

According to the financial data of Li Zheng's statistics, the financial situation of Youpin Bookstore is now a virtuous circle. Although there are various free expenses for soliciting franchise stores, the profits from the current sales of books to franchise stores can not only offset the upfront expenses, but also barely maintain the daily expenses of the company's personnel.

Now the company has a little more than 50,000 cash on its financial books.

In addition, Tang He has two other incomes to spend in the near future.

One is the traditional copyright manuscript fee for "The Legend of Wukong".

That's right, the traditional version of "The Legend of Wukong" is selling crazy on Bay Island!

At this time, there were no online novels, and it would take two years for the ruffian Cai's "First Close Contact" to be written, so Tang He's "The Legend of Wukong" is the first book of online literature in the true sense.

"The Legend of Wukong" has swept the entire Chinese network as early as the time of serialization, and netizens on the Bay Island are naturally no strangers. Many people scratch their ears and cheeks because they didn't watch the end of "The Legend of Wukong" and are depressed.

Therefore, there is no shortage of potential Bay Island audiences in "The Legend of Wukong", and the reputation of the novel has long been spread on Bay Island.

In addition, "The Legend of Wukong" is a new compilation of the story of "Journey to the West", one of the four famous novels in China, with a clever theme, without a trace of reading difficulties, and its potential reading target is the young generation who are willing to pay for what they like.

Therefore, in early September, when Crown Culture Publishing House advertised and published "The Legend of Wukong" in the name of the first book on the Internet, 10,000 copies of the new book were sold out in just a few days as soon as they were released.

Faced with such a situation, Crown Press was overjoyed.

They expedited a second printing, and 10,000 copies were printed.

To everyone's surprise, this batch of goods was quickly digested.

"The Legend of Wukong" also made it to the Bay Island bestseller list.

In the face of readers' praise and the market environment in short supply, Crown Publishing House conducted a detailed market research, and the internal consensus was that "The Legend of Wukong" could sell at least another 40,000 copies, so the number of their third print run directly reached 50,000 copies.

This is what Tang He only learned about a few days ago when he received a call from Yu Manhong, the editor of Crown Publishing House.

On the phone, Yu Manhong excitedly told Tang He about the sensation caused by "The Legend of Wukong" on Bay Island, she said:

In the current Bay Island book market, except for the works of several great writers such as Qiong Yao and Sanmao, there has never been such sales in popular works.

The sales of "The Legend of Wukong" are a miracle for the current popular literature industry on Bay Island!

"The Legend of Wukong" is a dark horse among dark horses!

This conclusion has been unanimously agreed by the book publishing community on Bay Island.

Many in the industry are now angry that Crown Press was able to recruit such a best-selling author.

Yu Manhong said that she was promoted and raised because of the selection of "The Legend of Wukong".

Tang Hehe, hehe's right.

In addition to telling Tang He Crown Publishing House that the manuscript fee for the second and third printing numbers would be 96,000 to Tang He's account in the near future, Yu Manhong also cautiously asked Tang He's "We Chased Girls Together in Those Years" published in Jinyong Inn if it could continue to be published by Crown Publishing House.

Then the two had a verbal argument on the phone, and Tang He handed over the traditional copyright of "We Chased Girls Together in Those Years" to Crown Publishing House.

Affected by the market performance of "The Legend of Wukong", Tang He's manuscript fee standard has been raised by a notch, rising to 10% in one go, promoting the level of first-line writers in the Bay Island industry, and the first printing of "Those Years" is 50,000 copies, and other conditions are the same as "The Legend of Wukong".

In this way, the manuscript fee of Tang He's "Those Years" is 100,000 yuan!

And when Yu Manhong hung up the phone, he also revealed a gossip to Tang He.

Crown Press's branch on Hong Kong Island seems to have fallen in love with "The Legend of Wukong", and is currently doing market research, and if the feedback results are satisfactory, "The Legend of Wukong" will land on Hong Kong Island!
