Although Zheng Long gave most of the money to his parents, he actually withheld a little bit in advance. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After all, you can't keep a penny around you, and you still need some start-up capital.

In fact, he has already thought about it, and the next step is actually a crucial step for him to enter the literary world!

That is, set up a studio.

Seriously, if you have been a contributing writer, then you have no future, you need to deal with editors for the rest of your life, and you are likely to be abandoned after you are not popular.

This kind of thing has happened many times in history, and many writers who were once smash hits ended up in poverty, because they probably didn't know how to manage money, and because they didn't set up their own studios and publish their own magazines when they were at their most popular.

Only by pinching all the resources in our own hands can it be possible to grasp the upper and lower industrial chains and grab the maximum benefits.

It was this method that later Guo Mingming used to finally build his own literary empire...

Zheng Long left a total of 5,000 yuan, and he had already thought about it, so he first built a small studio in Xiacheng.

As for why it was established in Xiacheng, it was because the Pucheng city where Zheng Long was located was too small and too unsuitable for contacting the outside world.

Although Xiacheng can only be regarded as a second-tier city compared with the Shanghai market, it can already complete some of Zheng Long's ideas.

However, the most important thing now is to find yourself a surrogate.

The agent has to help him with something, and most importantly, he has to trust him completely.

Zheng Long needs this agent to take full charge of his studio operations and help him with many troublesome and trivial things.

He thought of someone.

Zheng Xiaohai.

Although he is very unreliable and seems to be submissive, he still has a certain discipline in doing things.

And the most important thing is that after this pyramid scheme turmoil, Zheng Xiaohai has changed his mind and decided to work hard to be a new person.

After all, he is not young anymore, and if he continues to be as muddy as before, his old age will be even more difficult in the future.

Zheng Long found Zheng Xiaohai and explained his thoughts.

Zheng Xiaohai looked embarrassed and said:

"Aaron, I don't know if I can get this thing done. I used to be just a gangster, your circle... I can't get involved..."

Zheng Long smiled and said:

"Uncle, you're wrong, there's nothing special about our circle, not to mention that I just asked you to help me set up a studio, it's not a difficult thing. I was still a student and I couldn't handle it, otherwise I would have done it myself..."

Zheng Xiaohai has always admired his clever nephew, and after the last pyramid scheme turmoil, he admired him even more. But this incident made him a little embarrassed. After all, it's normal for someone who has never had any formal work experience to do something that seems to be more important, and it is normal to be unable to bear it all of a sudden.

"This... Well, all I can say is, I'll try it..."

"Well, it's actually not that difficult, just do it, everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones..."

Zheng Long said, took out a bag of money from his pocket and handed it directly to Zheng Xiaohai...

"Uncle, this money is your first phase of activity funds, I will continue to send you money in the future, what you have to do now is to open a bank card of ICBC and deposit this money in it." This card is regarded as the company's card, and any expenses of the company in the future will be carried out through this card. By the way, go to the Agricultural Bank of China to open a card, and it will be used as your salary card..."

Zheng Xiaohai heard Zheng Long say that he wanted to pay himself a salary, and his eyes lit up suddenly, but he felt a little embarrassed, so he said:

"This... It's not good, what am I going to do with your money, how ugly it is to get out..."

"Uncle, don't pretend... My brother is settling accounts, this is still a must..."

Zheng Xiaohai took Zheng Long's heavy bag of money, and felt very heavy in his heart. Of course, at this time, he still has little confidence in whether he can do this job well.

"Uncle, I just have so much money now, and there should be funds in the account one after another, and I will continue to call the company's card... This first month's salary is 800, what do you think? ”

"Oh, it's all my own people, and I don't have any money..."

Zheng Long smiled and said no more.

After separating from Zheng Xiaohai, Zheng Long made a phone call to the overseas market and informed Xiao Hongda that the next manuscript fee would be transferred to another card, which Zheng Long had just handled.

Although in principle, minors cannot apply for bank cards, but in mainland China, many times Zheng Long can be accommodated through his relationship with Cai Liangfa, and finally got this bank card, so that he will have the autonomy of funds in the future.

At the same time, he is also seriously thinking about how to recruit employees.

In 2001, various recruitment websites were just emerging, and they had not yet become fashionable, and the traditional recruitment sessions were still relatively mainstream. It seems that Zheng Long needs to go to the recruitment special in Xiamen City to recruit a few people.

Because what Zheng Long wants to do is a studio, which is actually a relatively simple cultural company, and this procedure is simpler than the formal company setup procedures. But no matter how simple it is, the necessary running relationship is still inevitable. At this point, Zheng Long let Zheng Xiaohai do it, after all, although Zheng Xiaohai has not taken any classes seriously for so many years, but the age is there, and the basic human feelings are still understood.

Soon, with Zheng Xiaohai's efforts to invite guests to dinner, the business license was quickly issued.

At the same time, Zheng Long is also thinking about how he should run his own magazine...

Originally, Guo Mingming ran the "Island" magazine at that time, and the style was not fundamentally different from other youth literature magazines on the market, so the degree of homogeneity was actually very high. This also led to the fact that the sales of this magazine were actually not very good for a period of time, and there were often cases of the core team leaving en masse.

In order to prevent this from happening, Zheng Long felt that he should take a more refined route at the beginning of the establishment of the magazine.

What should be done? Zheng Long thought about it for a long time before he figured out that in fact, the positioning of the magazine should be more refined.

Traditional youth literature magazines, although they are also working very hard to organize manuscripts, set up columns, illustrations, etc., but the setting of the target group is actually very vague, at most it wants to catch all middle school students. But that's not reasonable.

In fact, junior high and high school students always read magazines, and most of them are girls. Even if boys are reading, many of them are shunted by martial arts, fantasy, and suspense, and most of the readers of youth novels are definitely girls!

Of course, some of the more feminine boys will also join the readership...

Therefore, if you want to serve these readers, then you should do a more refined design for the magazine, especially in art and design, and you must strive for perfection and make it more exquisite than the original "island".

However, thinking of this, Zheng Long suddenly thought of a very difficult question.

That is, to publish a magazine, you need an issue number...

And this issue number is often attached to various publishing houses... If there is no publisher willing to give a number, then publishing a magazine is illegal and criminal...

This question really stumped Zheng Long for a while...
