Qingyun County Bus Station.

A long-distance bus from Zhonghai to Qingyun has arrived. Ye Yun wore sunglasses, opened the parasol, and stepped out of the bus. Stepping into this small northern city again, she was full of emotion in her heart.

Just then, a familiar voice came.

"Teacher Ye, welcome to Qingyun Entertainment." Chen Yuan smiled faintly.

Ye Yun took off her sunglasses. Under the scorching sun, her beautiful and charming face seemed to shine brighter than the sun. The surrounding passengers couldn't help but look this way. She had always worn sunglasses before, and no one had ever seen her in person. When I saw it at this time, I couldn't take my eyes off it for a while, what a beautiful woman!

Ye Yun ignored everyone's gazes, she smiled at Chen Yuan and said, "Why do you still call me Teacher Ye?" I'm probably not going to be a teacher anymore. You should call me by my name. ”

"That's not good, is it?" Chen Yuan said.

"This is a must," Ye Yun said softly, "Qingyun Entertainment wants to develop and grow, and there are no rules. Although you are young, you are the president of a company after all. And I am your subordinate, an employee, and it is normal for you to call me by my name. ”

Ye Yun's attitude was very resolute, and Chen Yuan could only change his previous title. Ye Yun, Ye Yun, screaming and screaming are also full of mouths.

The two took a taxi back to the office.

The front desk of the company is still Fan Bing on duty. Seeing Ye Yun for the first time, Fan Bing was very surprised. She found that the other party had a very unique temperament, which made people feel ashamed of themselves.

Fan Bing muttered to himself in his heart, who is this person? Why do you still have luggage?

She suppressed the question in her heart and took the initiative to say hello, "Mr. Chen, where is this sister from?" It's so beautiful! ”

"She's a new employee of the company, and she may be your boss in the future." Chen Yuan briefly introduced two sentences, and then advised: "There are many things in the company during this time, you must stand up for your own position." Don't just let people in. If you find that the situation is not right, you can call a security guard. Also, do your job. ”

She whispered yes. Then he smiled at Ye Yun next to him.

Ye Yun stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "Hello, I'm Ye Yun." ”

Fan Bing hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ye Yun. said: "Hello, my name is Fan Bing......"

"I've seen your play, it's amazing!" Ye Yun boasted casually.

Fan Bing grinned, and suddenly felt that this woman should be quite easy to get along with. She stepped forward to help pull up the suitcase and said affectionately, "Come with me." The room next to me is still empty! ”

The trio went straight up to the third floor of the dormitory, which has been converted into a dormitory. It is divided into 18 single rooms, 6 double rooms, and 2 large rooms. There aren't many people in the company now, so most of them live in single rooms. Both the double room and the large room are still empty.

Ye Yun couldn't help frowning when she saw the accommodation on the third floor.

There are not many single rooms, and Fan Bing's next door is still empty, so Ye Yun lives in it. The indoor environment is the same as that of a hotel, with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. Clean and tidy.

Fan Bing stayed behind to help Ye Yun clean up the room. Chen Yuan went downstairs and returned to his office.

The computer on the desk is black. But it's still on. Chen Yuan moved the mouse, and the computer screen immediately lit up. What appeared in front of Chen Yuan was the mailbox interface. Shown above is a new email from Jiuhuang Publishing House that I received at eight o'clock this morning!

At this time, it has entered August of the solar calendar, and the simplified version of "Sealing Demons" has been released to the eighth volume. The sales of the eight volumes of "The Sealed Demon" continued to decline. This month, "The Demon" only sold 380,000 copies, and Chen Yuan's after-tax income barely reached 2.4 million.

This kind of sales made Chen Yuan very dissatisfied, and he could foresee that the sales of the simplified version of "The Sealed Demon" would continue to decline in the future. In the end, it is a question whether the full set of 108 volumes will be released!

Abominable piracy! Chen Yuan scolded in his heart.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Yuan raised his head and said, "Come in!" ”

Then I saw Ye Yun moving his steps and walking in. She changed her clothes, which were very formal professional attire. White shirt and black skirt. Long hair combed back of the head. Between walking, the waist swayed, graceful.

Chen Yuan looked at Ye Yun in front of him and felt very surprised.

Ye Yun came straight to Chen Yuan. He placed a stack of papers on his desk. She said: "Mr. Chen, this is my thoughts and suggestions for the future development of the company. ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "Teacher Ye, oh, it's Ye Yun, you just joined the company, there is no need to be so anxious......

Ye Yun shook his head. said: "Mr. Chen, from the moment I agreed to join the company, it means that the company has declared war on Wanda Media!" Wanda Media has 17 subsidiaries, 7 cinema lines, and assets of 13.8 billion, and has a strong influence in China. And our company is still in the early stage of entrepreneurship, except for a barely able "Nightclub", "Crazy Stone" has not yet been released, and the company's contracted actors are still lacking in fame, and we have almost no power to resist in the face of media predators like Wanda Media......"

"Although Wanda Media is strong, we are not without the power to resist," Chen Yuan said as he flipped through the documents that Ye Yun had brought. Soon, he was attracted by Ye Yun's ideas and suggestions.

Seeing this, Ye Yun did not speak again, but waited quietly.

It took Chen Yuan more than half an hour to finish reading the documents prepared by Ye Yun. He raised his head and found that Ye Yun was still standing in place, his face always remaining calm. He suddenly felt an apology in his heart, and was about to apologize, but Ye Yun spoke first.

She said: "Since the company is known as 'entertainment culture', I believe that Mr. Chen's plan for the future should be extremely large. But at present, the company is still in the initial stage. We can only start small. So I divided the main business of the company into four parts. The first piece is Mr. Chen's novel. The book "Sealing Demons" swept the country. We don't talk about traditional publishing, but there is a big problem with simplified publishing. ”

Chen Yuan nodded, he was just having a headache just now. Unexpectedly, Ye Yun mentioned this first. He simply sat up straight and listened to the other party's opinion.

"Sales of Simplified Chinese Printing of "The Sealed Demon" are on a downward trend, but the bookstalls and book markets outside are full of pirated copies. For this purpose, Jiuhuang Publishing House has set up a special department to combat piracy, but the role is equivalent to none. If this situation is allowed to develop, I dare to say that domestic readers will never be able to wait for the day when "The Demon" ends! ”

Chen Yuan nodded, he had already thought of this situation.

"One of the biggest reasons for piracy is that genuine reading materials are too expensive for a large part of the population to afford. The book "Sealing Demons" is known as a huge work, with more than 100 volumes before and after. According to the calculation of 28 yuan for a roll, a complete set will cost more than 3,000 yuan. It is almost equivalent to the income of ordinary people for more than half a year. How many people do you think would be willing to come up with such a large sum of money? ”

Ye Yun saw that Chen Yuan didn't speak. She continued: "It's not cost-effective to look at the original, so most people choose piracy. Because the price of pirated books is only a quarter of the price of the original, or even a fifth! There is a way for people to enjoy genuine reading while spending less. That's the 'Rent a Bookstore' program I mentioned above in the document! ”

Bookstore renting emerged in the 80s of the last century. Due to the low price of renting books, it was once favored by people and has become a part of the memory of many people. In almost every city, especially near schools, there are several large or small bookstores for rent.

But Chen Yuan knew. With the development of the Internet and mobile phones in the future, renting bookstores will be out of the past. Ye Yun's plan to rent a bookstore was not feasible in his opinion. But he didn't interrupt the other party.

"The bookstore rental program will go some way to stopping the proliferation of pirated books. It only costs 5 cents to rent a volume of "Sealing Demons", and after reading one hundred and eight volumes of "Sealing Demons", it is only 54 yuan. Such consumption is already within the reach of the vast majority of people. Ye Yun said confidently.

Chen Yuan pondered for a long time and suddenly asked, "Is it worth it?" Is it that in order to prevent piracy, we have to open bookstores all over the country? And now that there are so many bookstores rented, do you think there is still room for market expansion? ”

"There's definitely room for market expansion. Regular and unified chain stores are definitely more favored by readers than those small black houses to rent bookstores. Ye Yun smiled slightly and said. If Mr. Chen just wants to make more money, there is no need to implement this plan to rent a bookstore. It's a huge and cumbersome program that requires a lot of effort and doesn't get the rewards it deserves. But if Mr. Chen wants to dominate the entertainment and cultural industry, then the plan to rent a bookstore is imperative! ”

"Dominating the entertainment and cultural industry?" Chen Yuan's heart moved.

"The awareness of copyright abroad is very strong, and piracy is not as rampant as in China, so cultural symbols like Marvel and Harry Potter can be cultivated. It's a difference in the overall environment, and it's hard for us as individuals to change. If he were an ordinary person, I wouldn't advise him to do that. But you're not an ordinary person. Whether it is the two contracts a year ago, or the current "Nightclub". You can see that you are a very ambitious person. ”

"Isn't it normal to be ambitious? Who wouldn't want to do something earth-shattering? Chen Yuan smiled faintly.

"Renting a bookstore is an earth-shattering event, and in this matter, we only have investment for the time being, and there is no return. But we can nurture a fertile ground for the future entertainment and cultural industry. Ye Yun said.

"Your idea is bold. This is something that many people want to do but are afraid to do. The awareness of copyright in China is weak, and many Chinese people don't even know what is genuine and pirated. If we can cultivate everyone's awareness of authenticity, the domestic entertainment and cultural industry will achieve extremely vigorous development. Chen Yuan said.

Ye Yun nodded and said, "This is exactly what we want." In terms of population, China has a population of 1.3 billion, and our potential consumer group is very large. If you can cultivate these consumers. We have the capital to compete with Western countries! ”

Chen Yuan's expression was shocked, he didn't expect Ye Yun's heart to be so big. Fight the West and conquer the world?

Ye Yun said again: "In fact, even if we don't achieve all this, we have nothing to lose. The profits from renting a bookstore can fully recoup the investment. It's just that the cycle is a bit long. It's better than watching piracy run rampant outside, right? ”

Now that the sales of "The Sealed Demon" in simplified Chinese are declining very much, if you don't want to curb piracy, where will there be room for genuine reading in the future? Ye Yun's plan to rent a bookstore can temporarily curb piracy, but she doesn't know that renting a bookstore will soon be out of history in the future. Therefore, Chen Yuan was still a little hesitant.

He said: "I still need to think about the plan to rent a bookstore. ”

Ye Yun smiled slightly, changed the topic, and said: "I know that Mr. Chen is also very talented in writing lyrics and composing. This talent can't be wasted, and I think it's necessary for the company to set up a record department to train some singers. ”

Chen Yuan nodded, this coincided with his thoughts.

"The record department is the company's second business. The company's third business is film and television production. Now the company has signed several artists, except for Li Bing, who is still a little famous, everyone else can only be regarded as newcomers. In order for the company to develop and grow, on the one hand, it is necessary to cultivate its own artists, and on the other hand, it is necessary to come up with excellent works. I'm not worried about the work, I'm worried about the cultivation of artists. The company needed to set up a department dedicated to the packaging and training of artists, which was the company's fourth business. ”

"The company's four businesses are only temporary, and according to the plan in my heart, the company's future development must be all-round. We want to build the company into a real entertainment and cultural empire! Speaking of this, Ye Yun's emotions were a little excited.

Chen Yuan was infected by Ye Yun's emotions, and his calm heart also beat restlessly.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door. Two people who are caught in the fantasy of the future are awakened at the same time.

Su Muying's little head came out of the crack in the door, and when she saw Ye Yun, she grinned and ran in. She took Ye Yun's hand and said happily: "Teacher Ye, you finally came to the company!" ”

Ye Yun knew the relationship between Su Muying and Chen Yuan, but she still couldn't help asking: "Mr. Chen, Sister Muying is a contracted actor in the company, or is it ......?"

Chen Yuan understood what Ye Yun meant, and he said: "Muying will be an artist that the company will strive to cultivate in the future, and I want to train her to become a real big star!" Ye Yun, your ideas and plans are very good, and many places coincide with me. Now that you have joined the company, I hope you can manage the company's affairs well, and Li Bing will be your assistant to participate in the management of the company. ”

Ye Yun was a little surprised, and said, "She is willing to be my assistant?" ”

"Li Bing still admires you," Chen Yuan said with a smile, "There are too many things in the company, she can't be busy, and the first thing that comes to mind is you." She said that you are a very capable person, and if you can join the company, she is willing to be your assistant. Of course, she mainly wants to find some time to film. ”

As soon as Chen Yuan said this, Ye Yun understood a little.

Suddenly, a cell phone vibrated sounded.

Chen Yuan picked up his mobile phone and scanned the number on it, it was Li Bing. He pressed the answer button.

After the phone was connected, Li Bing's voice came from inside: "Mr. Chen, Wanda Cinema Line, together with other cinema lines, has changed this week's film schedule!" "Super Big Diamond", which was supposed to be released on Saturday, and "Magic Green Jade", which was released on Sunday, have both been postponed by a week! ”

……

Chen Yuan hung up the phone and met the inquiring glances of the two. He smiled faintly and said, "Li Yisheng has already made a move!" (To be continued.) )
