Chapter 82: Consecutive Shifts
Wake up in the morning, it's a new day.
At six o'clock, Li Wenxing and Gong Wei appeared on time at the observation deck on the top floor of the hotel and continued to teach boxing.
At ten o'clock, after the boxing practice, Li Wenxing first went back to the room to wash, and then took the little girl Guan Jiani downstairs for breakfast.
After breakfast, Gong Wei drove up, picked up Zhong Chuhong by the way, and sent the two little girls to school before eight o'clock.
Then he left the school, and by nine o'clock, Li Wenxing had already appeared on the commercial radio station again, and plunged into the mountains of solicited manuscripts, and began to select and practice manuscripts that met the interests and needs of the literary society.
As of today, it has been more than a week since the 'Starry Sky Cup' Essay Grand Prix launched by the Star Literature Society under the name of Li Wenxing.
Because of the endorsement of commercial radio stations and Sing Tao Newspaper, there are many submissions for the competition, almost 100,000 copies.
What is the concept of 100,000 manuscripts? At present, there are only about 4 million people in Xiangjiang, which is equivalent to an average of one out of every 40 people participating in this essay contest.
Think about it, the accumulation of 100,000 manuscripts, just talking about catties, how can there be thousands of catties.
Don't think this number is exaggerated, you must know that this essay contest is just a bonus, and the top three can get a full 800,000 yuan together, not to mention the huge benefits hidden after winning the award.
800,000 bonuses, two sets of 1,000-square-foot houses in the city center, not to mention ordinary people, even scholars and writers who have been famous for a long time have to go crazy.
Prior to this, looking at the entire Xiangjiang, in terms of article remuneration, a very small number of great writers who have stood at the top of the literary world and have their own literary industry, such as Master Jin's Ming Pao, and others who can get the most remuneration, that is, Ni Yu and Liang Yusheng, but they still do not exceed 300 yuan per thousand words. Not to mention other literati who insist on writing, they can't even earn back the cost of pen and ink.
However, today, such a literary club suddenly appeared, in the name of 'no limit on the subject matter, no limit on the number of words, only looking at the commercial value and literary value of the article', opening such an essay contest, and also taking out as much as 800,000 cash as the contest bonus. What is this? This is definitely an unprecedented event for all the literati in Hong Kong and in the history of Hong Kong literature, so how can you miss this good opportunity for no reason.
Of course, it is a good thing that the literary club has mobilized everyone's enthusiasm for participating in the competition with a huge prize money.
But Li Wenxing almost vomited blood in anger after reviewing the manuscript in the morning. Even if there is a primary school student's diary in this manuscript, at least it can be read smoothly. It's just that there are still ghost drawing talismans in it? We are not the Maoshan faction to open the mountain and accept disciples.
"Now you may feel our feelings? You're fine, it's been many days since we came over, but we have to face those manuscripts every day, and we're tired of reading them. ”
In the lounge inside the commercial radio station, at this moment, Yu Jing, Shi Nansheng, Li Wenxing, and everyone in the support group sat opposite each other, chatting and chatting.
This would be Yu Zhen complaining, she was very dissatisfied with Li Wenxing's behavior of stealing and playing tricks, but leaving things to them to do.
"Well, I know you're affected. If you stick to it for a few more days, there will only be such a large-scale call for papers. ”
Everyone has worked hard, and Li Wenxing has been a little broken all morning, not to mention other people.
It's just that this thing must continue to be done, is it possible to give up halfway? Then we must not let these contributors kill and eat meat.
Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied Yu Zhen is, Li Wenxing can only serve and compliment with good words.
After all, Yu Jing is the general person in charge of the review support team here at Commercial Television, and if even she is dissatisfied, others will be even more unable to do things with their hearts.
What's more, Li Wenxing also knows that Yu Zhen is not really complaining about himself. She is just taking the initiative to pick up the topic and tell the objective facts, and she is saying this to appease others for him and buy others.
"I have already decided on the office location of the literary club, which is now under renovation, and it will be ready to move in next week at most. When the time comes, I'll take all these manuscripts with me and go over there to pick them up. In the past few days, the Literary Club has also recruited a group of people one after another, just so that they can start reviewing the manuscript. In this way, we will free you all. ”
In fact, Li Wenxing came to the commercial station in order to give everyone an accurate word. People take the salary of the commercial station, but they are here to do things for you, and they don't even have any oil and water, after a long time, what kind of business is this?
Maybe you can rely on the orders of the leaders of the commercial station to drive these people in front of you at first, and then you revealed your identity and background once in the night market that day, which will have a little deterrent effect, so that everyone will not dare to obviously mess around, steal and play tricks.
But if you want everyone to do this review work well, this is far from enough.
At the beginning, Li Wenxing didn't expect that there would be so many submissions, and he only thought that there would be tens of thousands of copies.
Who would have thought that now there are 100,000 copies piled up at once, and this is two days before the deadline of the event. In just one or two days, maybe there will be tens of thousands of points.
With such a large amount of work, if you don't appease these people, it is estimated that you will have to pick on them soon.
"In the past two days, I would like to ask everyone to work hard. When the review here is over, I will also discuss with Uncle He to give you some subsidies. Also, when my literary club officially opens, I also want to ask everyone to come over to be a temporary consultant, bring more of our newcomers, and at the same time strengthen the communication and cooperation between the two sides, I will recommend you to Uncle He. ”
"Ahh So, thank you so much, Ah Xing......"
"Ah, as consultants, then we are also teachers, and we can also take apprentices?"
"Haha, it's still you Ah Xing Changliang, don't worry, just leave the review to us. We all know you have a lot to do, and you can ...... even if you are busy."
"yes, yes......"
"No, I want to thank you. ”
Sure enough, you have to do this, and Hades is not bad for hungry ghosts.
Everyone comes out to do things for a living. No matter how big the face is, you can't just let people do things without giving benefits.
How good is it now? Everyone is doing well, and the efficiency and quality of the review will also be improved. In the future, you only need to check one more useful manuscript, and you will earn it all.
Speaking of which, I really can't figure out why those bosses who are rumored to be stingy should deduct employees' salaries, bonuses, benefits, etc., which is completely more than worth the loss.
Could it be said that an enterprise can only make a profit by deducting employees' wages? If we always do this, everyone will lose their enthusiasm, so how can we become bigger and stronger?
And no matter what others do, let's take care of ourselves first.
"That's okay, then let's bother everyone. I'm really busy, so we're here today. After a few busy days, let's go out and relax. ”
After appeasing everyone and talking about business, it is time for Li Wenxing to say goodbye.
Coming out of the commercial station, Li Wenxing and Shi Nansheng took a car and went straight to the Kowloon Patent Registry of the Intellectual Property Department.
After more than a week of registration applications, looking for a lawyer, and spending money on public relations, the Rubik's Cube patent submitted by Li Wenxing before was finally distributed.
After mastering such a procedure, the Rubik's Cube patent is already in the bag. It also means that from now on, Li Wenxing can rest assured that he can lay out the production and sales plans related to the Rubik's Cube.
Time waits for no one.
After Li Wenxing actually got the patent registration receipt formalities, he immediately came to Hongjia with Shi Nansheng, found Zhang Huiling, who was staring at the office decoration, and went to the Tseung Kwan O area together to start looking for a foundry for the Rubik's Cube production plan.
Children's shoes who have played with the Rubik's Cube in later generations know that in fact, the internal structure of the Rubik's Cube is not very complicated, and it is only necessary to produce modules of various matching sizes that can be easily assembled.
In addition, these modules that make up the Rubik's Cube are all hard plastic pressing molding, and only need to make corresponding molds, so most plastic factories on the market are capable of this kind of production OEM.
Li Wenxing is well-known for his love of calculation, no matter what he does, he always has to calculate it many times in his mind before he makes up his mind to implement it.
As early as a few days ago, Li Wenxing instructed Zhang Huiling to start investigating the plastic industry in Xiangjiang.
Will the Rubik's Cube be a big seller? Will it make money?
Regarding this, Li Wenxing and Ben didn't even think about it, it was a complete waste of time and unfounded worries.
But how much money can each Rubik's Cube make? This matter needs to be seriously considered by Li Wenxing.
If you want to earn the ultimate amount of money on every Rubik's Cube, it is nothing more than two points, increase the selling price and control the cost.
The sales price of a single Rubik's cube, even if it is set high, is not much higher. Otherwise, your price is too outrageous, then everyone can't afford it, you can't sell it, what's the use of high prices?
The Rubik's Cube is a kind of national pleasure, regardless of men, women and children, can play with commodity toys, the price of which of course has to be close to the people.
Under the premise that the price of the Rubik's Cube is not too high, if you want to make more money, you must control the comprehensive cost of each Rubik's Cube before it is put on the shelves, especially the cost of the production process, whether it is materials, man-hours, manpower, etc., it must be strictly controlled.
Therefore, Li Wenxing's complete plan related to the Rubik's Cube is like this:
At the beginning, we identified various large and small plastic factories for investigation and evaluation, found out the three or five factories with the best reputation, and then placed a small number of orders for them to produce OEM. After that, it is a survey and sampling to compare which factories use the most environmentally friendly and safe materials and have the lowest production costs.
By the time these data are obtained, presumably the friends on the side of the Jiulong Walled City have also built plastic factories. At that point, you only need to add a little more price to this minimum cost, and then place an order for them to produce it on the other hand.
In this way, Li Wenxing no longer has to worry about trivial things such as the production of the Rubik's Cube, and only needs to operate the relevant sales work to earn a large amount of money, accumulating a huge flow of funds for the invasion of the main global entertainment industry in the future.
