A new day. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At seven or eight o'clock in the morning, it is the rush hour. The tram entered the station, and Li Shanhe squeezed out of the crowd of canned sardines, took a long breath, and loosened his collar.

He could have just waited at home for the editor to come and pick up the manuscript. But he still chose to report to the Shogakukan building every day. Observing the operation of a magazine up close was an invaluable experience for him.

It's not an easy job.

The train bell is ringing, and it is about to start. He turned to the glass of the tram, straightened a few stubborn hairs on his forehead, and pushed a pair of small dimples on his cheeks with his fingers.

Life is a constant battle!

Carrying a dark brown hand-sewn canvas bag, he approached the elementary school hall again with a refreshing smile like an ordinary college student in later generations.

"Good morning, Maiko!"

As soon as he entered the primary school building, Li Shanhe greeted him from afar. The sunlight shone into the hall with his footsteps, as if the whole building had come to life.

"Good morning, Sanshui!"

"Good morning, Notaro!"

He greeted everyone who remembered their names, some nodding coldly, and many more bowing back.

There was a person who passed by by mistake, and suddenly received Li Shanhe's smile, and touched his colleague in surprise: "Hey, Xiaoquan, who is this?" Why don't I remember much? ”

The colleague looked at the popular Li Shanhe enviously, and said, "You went on a business trip, I don't know, this is the new popular writer, Mr. Aldous." There are very few people who don't know him now. ”

"Huh? This is the Chinese who dare to collide with Sakamoto? So young! The man sighed, "Young writers are really different." It's nice that I want the courage to say hello to others. ”

Li Shanhe's smile infects everyone around him.

There is only one exception.

"Morning, Editor-in-Chief Sakamoto! Hope you have a good mood today, too! ”

Sakamoto seemed to have dark clouds on his face, and as soon as he walked into the hall, the dark clouds were also suppressed, as if they turned into a rendering of power, and the hall was covered by dark clouds for a while, and everyone bowed to her in unison.

Except for Li Shanhe.

His eight teeth still shone, the only place of light under the clouds.

Sakamoto Tsuma's face is like an old cellar, and he can't see the light. She glanced at Li Shanhe, snorted, picked up her satchel, clicked on her high heels, and went straight to the elevator.

This is the norm in the RB workplace, dozens or even hundreds of people bow in unison, just like the emperor of the soil.

Li Shanhe shook his head with a smile, and he was not annoyed. Passers-by cast sympathetic glances at him - it was pitiful that he had to bow his head every day and not look up.

For Li Shanhe, in this protracted workplace battle, weakness is his best shield.

One is a sunny and kind celebrity, and the other is a gloomy and cold boss. If everyone were to vote anonymously, he believed that his popularity would be much higher than that of Sakamoto Tsuma.

Public opinion is a position, and if the enemy does not occupy it, then don't blame me for occupying it! Just pay a little smile and enthusiasm, there will always be a rewarding day!

Humming a little song, Li Shanhe took the elevator to the new office of "Shonen Jump". Shonen Jump no longer needs to be nestled in a dark basement, but has a spacious and bright 7th floor, an entire floor!

In order to retain Kuan Fukazawa, who was originally planning to resign, Shueisha's top management tilted a lot of resources down, and almost in just a few days, "Shonen Jump" was reborn.

Hiroshi Fukasawa also keeps his promises. On the first day of moving, Li Shanhe was given an extremely lenient contract!

There is also a signing fee of 1 million yuan attached!

"Mr. Li, I hope you understand. The magazine is not very well funded now, so it can only come up with such a small amount of money. Fukasawa said guiltily, "One million signing fee, this is only the first year, and when the magazine is doing well, I promise to at least five times this number next year!" ”

The magazine's start-up capital was only two million in total, and Fukasawa gave him half of it at once, which made Li Shanhe also feel moved.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Fukazawa thought that Li Shanhe was too little, and gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Li, the main thing is that I want to promote the sole contract and pay a monthly salary to all the contracted authors, and there is a bit of a shortage of funds...... If you think it's less, how about 120, no, 1.5 million? ”

"No, a million is fine." Li Shanhe shook his head. 90,000 yuan a month, and now I don't lack this money.

He signed his name, and Fukasawa took the contract and looked at it specially, smiled, and shook hands: "Welcome, Mr. Li." ”

Li Shanhe smiled and said, "Don't call me by my real name." I want to make another pen name in the manga world. ”

"Oh? Do you have a clue? ”

"Not yet, but the magazine will be handed to you before the final printing......"

……

After getting a close understanding of the operation of the publishing house, especially comparing "Youth Jump" with his own company, Li Shanhe couldn't help but sigh that the publishing house is really a service industry.

The value of a company depends mainly on the vision and connections of the editors. Others are like mods for games, which can be installed at any time, and there are even many small companies nearby that specialize in these outsourcing businesses.

And your own company, there's a fart editor? It's a bunch of salesmen!

The quality of the editors directly determines the quality of the magazine. How many authors you can know and how many high-quality manuscripts you can bring in are the most important things. There is also vision, grasp of the market context and so on.

Shueisha's manpower and material resources for "Shonen Jump" are the best they can get, and it can be said that they have concentrated the top people in the company.

As soon as he saw that the editors were constantly finding all kinds of excellent manuscripts, Li Shanhe really couldn't wait to bring "Youth Jump" back to his home!

Several times, as soon as he entered the company, he saw many employees lying on the ground, all working overtime, and Li Shanhe was itching.

You said, such a first-class business level, take the initiative to work overtime and do not need overtime pay, and have the spirit of sacrifice and dedication...... Which boss doesn't like it?

On the spot, he handed over the business cards one by one, and asked sideways, are you happy at work? How's the income? Is there a way to change jobs?

There were a few times when I dug the foot of the wall, and I was bumped into by Kuan Fukazawa. Editor Fukasawa smiled and shook his head, not meaning to stop him at all.

Because he's sure no one will be poached.

Li Shanhe's actions repeatedly hit a wall, and after asking about the situation, he couldn't help but sigh and stopped digging the foot of the wall.

Most of RB's companies are employed for life. If an employee has no major accidents, from entry to retirement, all of them are completed in this company. It is equivalent to the iron rice bowl of Chinese state-owned enterprises, in this case, how can it be possible to poach their employees?

Even though these people were swept away by the Shogakukan and thrown into Shueisha like garbage, they still have the dream of returning to the headquarters!

It was not possible to dig the foot of the wall, so Li Shanhe had to retreat to the second best thing and take the initiative to learn all the details of the operation of the publishing house.

At first, he just helped carry some miscellaneous items, and when he got acquainted, he began to intervene in the conversations between female colleagues; The second is to follow the field and channels. His smile is hearty, he is smart and sweet, especially the unscrupulous man who focuses on middle-aged and elderly women, steady and ruthless, after a few rounds, basically everyone is used to having such a person follow.

After a few days, the small notebook in his bag was full of all kinds of tricks.

If you really understand the insiders, you will know that there are some things that you will never know what the secrets are until you actually experience them.

For example, Li Shanhe has always thought that publishing books requires applying for a book number in advance, which takes time and money.

But the reality is that there is no need to be so troublesome at all, as long as you apply for a code that is easy to manage, and it is easy to apply.

Another example is the channel lifeblood that is crucial to publishing houses.

Hiroshi Fukasawa confidently rejected the kindness of the Shogakukan and did not use the sales channel that the other party lent for free. Channels are the lifeblood of a magazine, so he will not give his lifeblood to competitors so easily.

Does he want to run the newsstand one by one?

Li Shanhe was curious, or did he also have a way to set up a similar fax network?

Neither.

Fukasawa directly found a state-owned book wholesale company and contracted the sales of the magazine for the first three months to the other party, and the problem was solved at once!

At that time, Li Shanhe was stunned, and there was still such a method? He pulled the clerk of the book wholesale company and asked the bottom of the question.

It turns out that RB's publishing system is already very mature, and companies with special business channels, as well as small publishing houses that do not have the ability to run channels, all entrust their own books to each other to sell.

Although I make a little less money, I don't have to worry about it, I also save money, and there is no price reduction.

After getting this information, Li Shanhe was silent. He originally fantasized that he would set up a chain of bookstores and form a book and newspaper industry in the future, but this book wholesale company directly hit his ambition back to its original shape.

Not to mention that this book wholesale company is still state-run, and it is impossible to shake it at all.

You're still not a capitalist society! How can it be more socialist than a socialist country!

The last and most easily overlooked point is a law that is easily problematic.

The National Diet Library Act stipulates that for every publication published, a few sample copies must be paid to the National Library.

Violating this rule will result in jail!

After Li Shanhe heard this, he returned to his company and hurriedly sent the other party a fax draft of "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes". What the other party does with these pages, then he can't control it.

After visiting the front line, I roughly understood the operation method of the magazine.

At this time, the first issue of the semi-monthly magazine "Shonen Jump" was finally printed, handed over to book wholesale companies, and distributed to newsstands throughout Tokyo.
