Xu Hong walked over, took the brand-new sample book and looked at it again and again, and felt that the cover of this book was really well designed, which was completely in line with his own ideas. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Mr. Xu, are you still satisfied with this cover? This is just a sample book, if you are not satisfied, we can modify it and replace it with another cover, or you can design one yourself." ”
The cover of the book, that is the face of the book. The cover of this book, of course, is very important to the author. Now Zhao Shihong looked at Xu Hong and wanted to hear his opinion.
"Satisfied, very satisfied, that's it, no need to modify it. Xu Hong originally felt that the cover of this book was very good. It is to draw the image of a comic, and the image of this comic is what he drew before. Now Li Wei and Zhao Shihong have put the comic image of Sanmao drawn by Xu Hong on the cover of this book. In this case, Xu Hong was naturally very satisfied when he saw it.
Also, Xu Hong doesn't have time to worry about this cover now! The first thing he has to do is to take this book and exchange it for his 500,000 gambling money!
"Well, if Mr. Xu is satisfied, we can print this sample book in the future. The first time, we wanted to print 1,000 copies and try the water first. ”
This is the first time Zhao Shihong has been the president, and he is still a little scared to do this book, so he only wants to print 1,000 copies and try the market's reaction!
As soon as he heard Zhao Shihong's words, Xu Hong looked at him and said with a smile: "1,000 copies, it's too little! I think you will print 10,000 copies for the first time! It will be New Year's Day in two days, and the students will be on vacation." If you put it into the market on New Year's Day, you will definitely get off to a good start. It's not that I'm bragging, I feel that my work, as soon as it's on the market, it will definitely become popular. You'd better print run 10,000 copies! This is an opportunity, if the sales are good and you run out of stock, you're going to miss the opportunity!"
Xu Hong feels that his work has experienced the test of the market in the world before his death. Even in this parallel world, this work will not be much worse. With a first printing of 10,000 copies, there must be no problem.
When Zhao Shihong heard this, he was still a little worried, he picked up the phone on the table, and made a call to Li Wei, asking him to come to his office from the editor-in-chief's office.
Although Zhao Shihong is now the president, he has never done the business of a publishing house before, nor has he worked in a publishing house, and all these things are just the first time that a big girl has been in a sedan chair. Therefore, he wanted to ask Li Wei for advice on everything! Anyway, Li Wei had been working at the 'Chuncao Publishing House' for more than half a year. I still have a good understanding of the working procedures of the publishing house. How much this book needs to be printed for the first time, Li Wei also knows in his heart.
Li Wei received a call from Zhao Shihong, and came to Zhao Shihong's office from his office. When he saw Xu Hong, he greeted Xu Hong first: "Oh, it's Mr. Xu, you're here too." ”
Xu Hong just looked at Li Wei and smiled, and nodded, but didn't say anything.
Li Wei walked up to Zhao Shihong again and said, "Brother Zhao, what are you looking for me?" ”
Zhao Shihong looked at Li Wei and said, "You say, how many copies of "Sanmao Wanderings" are appropriate for us to publish this time!"
As soon as Li Wei heard Zhao Shihong's words, he glanced back at Xu Hong, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, although Mr. Xu's work is published for the first time, it can be regarded as a masterpiece. I think that as soon as it is listed, it will definitely be popular, and this first seal must at least be printed in tens of thousands of copies!"
"Even you're so sure. As soon as I heard Li Wei say the same thing, he wanted to print 10,000 copies for the first time, and Zhao Shihong's self-confidence also came. It's just that he still asked Li Wei with some concern.
Li Wei listened to Zhao Shihong's words and said: "Don't worry! Brother Zhao, although Mr. Xu is a newcomer, there is nothing to say about the quality of his works." There is a more important reason. Mr. Xu's work, although it has not yet been published, is already famous!"
Hearing Li Wei say this, Xu Hong and Zhao Shihong were a little surprised. think, Xu Hong's book has not been published, so how can it be famous!
When Li Wei heard this, he glanced at Xu Hong again and explained: "Brother Zhao, you don't know, this work of Mr. Xu has stayed in the three publishing houses in the capital, and all the editors-in-chief, editors and presidents have read it. Everyone also knows in their hearts that Mr. Xu's work is a first-class work. The reason why it couldn't be published smoothly was only because of that Sun Yuanjie.
Now with such a toss, it can be said that in the entire publishing industry, Mr. Xu's works have some popularity. Imagine, the editors of these three publishing houses also have their own friends, and after they get off work, they will also talk to their friends about things in the unit, so is it possible to talk about "Sanmao Wanderings"!
In this way, Mr. Xu's "Sanmao Wanderings" has not yet been published, but it has already become famous. Now that we have this fame, we struck while the iron was hot, and then immediately published Mr. Xu's "Sanmao Wanderings". Then you say, those who know it, must buy it right away.
It can be said that now Mr. Xu's works are already hanging everyone's appetite. As long as it is published, there is no reason why it is not popular! Brother Zhao, do you think what I said makes sense!"
Li Wei is worthy of being in the publishing house for half a year, and his analysis is really incisive and reasonable. Let Xu Hong and Zhao Shihong listen to it, and they all feel that it is a real insight!
"Ah, Li Wei, in this way, we will definitely win this time, and we will definitely be able to get off to a good start. Originally, Zhao Shihong was still a little worried! How to say, Xu Hong is a newcomer. He is a newcomer himself. A rookie president, and a rookie author. It's uneasy to think about cooperating together to publish a book like this!
But as soon as he heard Li Wei's words, Zhao Shihong had a bottom in his heart. Even if Xu Hong listened to Li Wei's words now, he was a little impressed by Li Wei.
Originally, Xu Hong was also a little worried about his work, although he was an 'adaptation'. In the world before his death, Master Zhang's comic works. Although "The Wanderings of Sanmao" is a well-known story for women and children in the world before his death, in this parallel world, after all, not many people know. This is because of the matter of publishing, so that the presidents, editors-in-chief and editors of the three publishing houses and the editors know.
However, for most ordinary citizens, no one knows what kind of work "Sanmao Wanderings" is.
Now after listening to Li Wei's analysis, Xu Hong feels that his work seems to have reached the level of 'women and children know' before it has been published. This made Xu Hong immediately full of confidence.
"Li Wei, what you said is really good. President Zhao, you don't have to hesitate, just print 10,000 copies! Perhaps, it's not enough! Hurry up and get ready for printing!"
As soon as he heard Li Wei's words, Xu Hong was also very confident, so he looked at Zhao Shihong and said some nice things.
"Okay, I'll listen to the two of you, and I'll print 10,000 copies for the first time right away. Listening to Li Wei and Xu Hong's analysis, Zhao Shihong was also full of confidence.
"Okay, President Zhao, Editor-in-Chief Li, you can get busy with the printing business! I'll go make some money. If I make money and you have a problem with your finances, I can help you. ”
Thinking that he might earn 500,000 yuan soon, Xu Hong was also very happy, and thought that if he earned this 500,000 yuan, and Zhao Shihong's funds were tight, he could also help him. How to say, now my life is tied to Zhao Shihong and Li Wei. Only by letting this 'new star publishing house' make achievements can they all make a profit!
Hearing Xu Hong say this, Zhao Shihong himself was a little embarrassed. He looked at Xu Hong and said, "Mr. Xu, look at what you said, we didn't pay you for your work, and in turn, we want you to help us, so I don't know how to thank you!"
"President Zhao, you're welcome, since I signed a sharing contract with you, from now on, isn't your business my business!" Seeing that Zhao Shihong was still polite to himself, Xu Hong looked at Zhao Shihong generously and said.
"This is the case, if we print 10,000 copies for the first time and sell all of them, we may have to reprint them again for a while, and in this case, we will immediately have to pay a printing cost. In that case, it would be great if Mr. Xu could sponsor a fund. ”
After listening to Xu Hong's words, Zhao Shihong also said his thoughts. When Xu Hong heard this, he looked at Zhao Shihong again and said, "Okay, I'll go raise money first, as soon as our works are listed, they will definitely sell well." ”
"Well, okay, then trouble Mr. Xu. Zhao Shihong looked at Xu Hong again and said politely.
Xu Hong looked at Zhao Shihong and smiled, and didn't say anything more.
Li Wei also feels that Xu Hong is a good person, they are all young people, and they all have a heart that wants to do a career, but now it can be said that they hit it off and immediately became good friends.
"Teacher Xu, is the money you want to raise a bet with Liu Changtian!" It can be said that many people now know about this matter. It's like the fame of "Sanmao Wanderings". The bet between Xu Hong and Liu Changtian has also spread in the publishing industry!
Not many people knew about this. But Liu Changtian is a person who can't hide things in his heart, and he first told Zheng Tian and Yang Ming about it. wants to use this gambling money to bribe these two guys, so that they can attack and defend the alliance together, so that Xu Hong has no way out.
Because Liu Changtian also felt that as long as Zheng Tian and Yang Ming did not publish Xu Hong's works, then it would be impossible for him Xu Hong to publish his own works. Even if we could find another way to publish it, it would have to be ten days later, and it would not be possible to complete it in ten days.
The reason why Liu Changtian is so confident is because he knows that there are now three major children's literature publishing houses in Beijing. There are no other children's literature publishers. Xu Hong's work is only a children's literature story, and it can only be published in children's publishing houses, not ordinary publishing houses. In this case, Xu Hong bets with him, there is only the possibility of losing, not the possibility of winning.
However, what Liu Changtian never expected was that within this month, in addition to their three publishing houses, another publishing house was established. It's just that this one publishing house is very small. It didn't have any impact at all, and it was far away from their three publishing houses. So, for the time being, Liu Changtian didn't know that there was another newly established children's publishing house!
"Oh, that's pretty much it!Hey, Li Wei, how do you know? Xu Hong also thought that not many people seemed to know about the bet he made with Liu Changtian! Liu Changtian was the president of the 'Chunya Publishing House'. And Li Wei is the editor of 'Chuncao Publishing House', and there is no intersection between them.
"Oh! I heard some gossip when I was still at the 'Spring Grass Press'. Originally, I didn't believe it, but now it seems to be true. Li Wei looked at Xu Hong and said like this.
"Oh, that's the case! It seems that your previous President Zheng, Zheng Tian, also knew about the bet I made with Liu Changtian. As soon as he heard Li Wei say this, Xu Hong knew that the bet he made with Liu Changtian had already made Liu Changtian say it, it seems that this Liu Changtian really wants to let himself lose someone again!
"That's for sure, Liu Changtian, Zheng Tian and Yang Ming, the three of them are all good friends. It can also be said that it is a raccoon dog! How could Liu Changtian not tell Zheng Tian and Yang Ming about this! They just want to rectify you together! Hehe, as a result, I'm afraid they are rectifying themselves!"
Now that Li Wei also knows about the bet between Liu Changtian and Xu Hong, he feels that this time, Liu Changtian, is lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot!
"Haha, it's okay, Editor-in-Chief Li, President Zhao, you guys are busy! I'll go to Liu Changtian to settle accounts. Xu Hong was also very happy to listen to Li Wei's words. I just thought, hurry up and complete my 'face slap' task!
"Okay, Mr. Xu, you go quickly! When you get the money back, we will start a business together and do a good job, now, we, a small children's publishing house, I am afraid that we can compete with the three giants of them." ”
Thinking that he might also defeat the three giants, Zhao Shihong also had a heroic spirit in his heart. As for the bet between Xu Hong and Liu Changtian, he can also ask Xu Hong in the future, this matter must be very interesting, but he doesn't have time to ask it yet!
"Okay, you just wait for my good news!" Xu Hong came out of Zhao Shihong's office, went downstairs, and came to his car. Open the door and get into the car. Xu Hong went to the 'Spring Sprout Publishing House'. Along the way, Xu Hong was humming the popular songs in this world, and he was very happy. (To be continued.) )
