Chapter 166 Handling Methods
The current decline in sales of "East Poster Literary Edition" has caused some doubts within the headquarters of "East Poster Literary Edition".
That's how things are in the world...... When you are proud, it is easy to give people the impression that a team is very harmonious and monolithic, because many contradictions will be covered up in victory......
But once it is not so smooth, even in adversity, all the problems may be revealed.
Now, once again, there are some wavering voices within the "East Poster Literary Edition", and you can hear things like job hopping again.
I have to say that this is also a helpless situation: a newspaper is completely broken by the novel of a novel author, and the quality and sales of the novel are still evaluated, which determines the thoughts of many people in the newspaper......
It's even a bit ridiculous!
And yet it is true.
Ye Xing also felt that some people were panicking, and now, what he could rely on was Dong Qi.
It's just that Ye Xing soon heard a news similar to bad news.
Dong Qi had a meeting early in the morning, and then told everyone that he had to go to Yanjing in the past few days, and he couldn't take care of some things in "East Poster" for the time being, as for "East Poster Literary Edition", he specially selected a person to deal with these things temporarily, this person was a student before Dong Qi, and he was also the deputy editor-in-chief of "East Poster Literary Edition", his name is Liang Jiasheng, and he is a very motivated person.
However, this man is very pragmatic.
Pragmatism may be a good spiritual guide for many people, but pragmatism can sometimes lead to the problem of short-sightedness: it is too easy to think about the present and ignore the long-term future.
And Liang Jiasheng is also the kind of person who wants to achieve results in a short time.
Ye Xing knew that Dong Qi was getting older, and he also hoped to find someone who could take over these stalls, and now it should be an investigation, Liang Jiasheng must also understand what Ye Xing meant, and now he is definitely gearing up and preparing to do a big job!
Sure enough, after Dong Qicai had just finished announcing, although Liang Jiasheng looked calm on the surface, he could still see his mood at this time from the little green tendons that jumped out of his forehead.
For some reason, Ye Xing always felt a little ominous.
"That's it! That's what I'm going to tell you! I hope that during the next period of my absence, you can all cooperate well with Editor-in-Chief Liang and complete the work! Dong Qi finally said.
Dong Qi opened his mouth, and everyone naturally applauded.
After Dong Qi opened his mouth to announce the end of the meeting, everyone also put away their things and prepared to leave, but when many people left, Liang Jiasheng stopped Ye Xing: "Ye Xing, you stay, I'll tell you about "Tianya, Mingyue, Knife", ......"
In the office, Liang Jiasheng said: "I know that Li Kuo's "Chivalrous Journey" was written very well before, and the sales are obvious to everyone, but now the sales of "Tianya Mingyue Knife" are not good, but it has also caused some people to have bad reviews of this novel, have you talked to Li Kuo about this matter?" I think it's better for him to change his writing style a little bit and not always be the way he used to be. ”
Ye Xing said helplessly: "I know...... But I also contacted Li Kuo before, and he said that this style has been finalized, and he has written a lot, and it is very unrealistic to change the style now...... I think he has a point, or we should wait and see, after all, the newspaper sales are better than before! ”
Liang Jiasheng frowned: "Is he a little arrogant?" Did the success of a copy of "Knight's Journey" make him swell? If a novel doesn't fit the market, it should be improved! What did he think? ”
It was impossible for Ye Xing to speak ill of Li Kuo in front of this guy, so he could only be silent.
"Tell him again, if he still doesn't want to change his writing style, I think we should do something about it."
Liang Jiasheng finally concluded.
Ye Xing was silent, just nodded.
…… In Liang Jiasheng's office, he also saw Ma Kai!
Ma Kai did not give up, and now, suddenly seeing that the sales of "Tianya Mingyue Knife" so far have not continued the previous hot thing, he feels that his opportunity has come.
It just so happened that he heard that Dong Qi was temporarily away during this time, and the affairs of "East Poster Literary Edition" would be temporarily handed over to Liang Jiasheng, which was a godsend for Ma Kai!
At that moment, Ma Kai directly found Liang Jiasheng.
"Can you promise us 20,000 newspaper subscriptions? Can this be put into practice? The conditions proposed by Ma Kai are actually a big reduction from those given to Dong Qi, but for Liang Jiasheng, this number is already quite good.
"Of course! There's no way I'm going to lie to you. ”
Ma Kai frowned and thought for a while: "I feel that 20,000 copies is still too little, 25,000 copies!" ”、
Liang Jiasheng pretended to be pensive and then raised his head and said, "Yes! Twenty-five thousand is twenty-five thousand! I accept! ”
The two quickly reached an agreement, without Dong Qi, and Liang Jiasheng saw some weakness in sales brought by the recent release of "Tianya Mingyue Knife" to "East Poster Literary Edition", and Li Kuo was able to take a lot of the manuscript fee from it, which became Liang Jiasheng's determination to replace the book "Tianya Mingyue Knife" with "Glorious Mission".
However, whether to cancel the serialization of "Tianya, Mingyue, Knife" depends on the sales of the newspaper in the future......
And for this matter, in fact, the person who is more worried must have a Ye Xing.
He also asked Li Kuo to tell him about Liang Jiasheng, but Li Kuo could only reply, and there was no way to change his style.
After all, for Li Kuo, it doesn't matter if the results of this book are not so good, because he believes that one day this book will still leave a coordinate like in his previous life, and become a mountain and benchmark in front of some martial arts novels in later generations.
Therefore, in terms of income, Li Kuo will not pay special attention to this matter......
In addition, there is another very important reason: "Tianya, Bright Moon, Knife" is the work of Mr. Gu Long, Li Kuo just moved this book to this time and space, if he wants to change the style of this book, how is it possible? Li Kuo may change beyond recognition......
So Li Kuo could only refuse again.
At this time, the sales of "East Poster Literary Edition" appeared again, this time maintaining a barely 220,000 copies of sales, but it was still two or three thousand copies lower than the previous issue.
So, Liang Jiasheng made up his mind to directly ask "East Poster Literary Edition" to suspend the update of "Tianya, Bright Moon, Knife"! Replace this location with Glorious Mission! (To be continued.) )
