Chapter 56 Assembly Line Creation
Mr. Fat's figure has always been kept perfect, even if he was in full swing with the "Golden Book House", he didn't lose half a pound of meat! From afar, it looks like a ball of meat is piled up there!
"Sit! There are drinks in the fridge, take whatever you want! Fat always said to Su Jin. With their relationship, there is really no need to be polite!
"I'm here today because I want to implement a plan! , but needs your support! Su Jin took a bottle of mineral water to himself, opened it, took a sip and said.
"What's the plan?" Fat always showed a listening demeanor.
"Before that, I'd like to ask, how many sales do books found on Dreamnet usually sell in physical sales?" Su Jin didn't directly say the plan, but asked first.
"Dream Network's books, although there are some high-quality books, but most of them are not bestsellers, usually a novel that is recognized by netizens, and the annual sales of a selected novel are about forty or fifty thousand copies!" Fat always said honestly. There is no need to hide these data.
Su Jin thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about the affairs of the publishing house, what I want to know is how much the annual sales of the publishing house must reach before it can be profitable?" ”
"If it is Hongwen Publishing House, a book will probably have to sell one or two thousand to ensure profits!"
"One or two thousand? No book has to be published at least one or two thousand to make a profit? Su Jin's brows furrowed and said.
"Indeed! Normally, there are about 1,500 books in a printing house! The price of a book is usually the ex-factory cost plus ten percent! In other words, we have to sell at least 12300 copies to ensure that we don't lose money! Generally speaking, a book must sell at least all the first books released by the printing house to ensure that the publisher is profitable! Mr. Fat said leisurely.
"But it doesn't seem that any of the best books on the market are up to this standard?" Su Jin said with a little doubt.
"Of course!" Mr. Fat said without hesitation, "In fact, even the books published by the world's best publishing houses can only guarantee that 30% of the books are profitable!" After all, the changeable surnames of the market are beyond the control of ordinary people!
The model of the publishing house is a bit of a wide variety of small harvests! Generally speaking, the average publishing house has hundreds of books every year, and if more than half of them can achieve profitability, they can let their boss burn high incense! After all, among these hundreds of books, there is always one or two bestsellers!
In this way, the publisher will be able to continue to maintain me! If there is a publishing house that publishes hundreds of books without a single bestseller, it is no wonder that such a low level of professional quality has caused the publishing house to close its doors!
In fact, this is also the reason why several large state-owned publishing houses in the ancient city have always been a thorn in our side and a thorn in the flesh! After all, wealth is moving! Although there are few books on Dream.com that can reach the bestseller, they can usually have a sales volume of 40,000 or 50,000, and the most important thing is that the risk is low!
For a publishing house, it is really fat to find such a place! No wonder they are red-eyed! A few days ago, I heard that a few publishing houses came to secretly contact a few of our popular writers, fortunately, they usually have a good relationship with our publishing house, and notified me in time, otherwise they would be poached! ”
After saying that, Mr. Fat couldn't help but be a little indignant!
"Digging people?" Su Jin's heart moved, and he said, "Are those big publishing houses poaching people?" ”
Mr. Fat was stunned, as if he didn't expect Su Jin to ask this question, thought about it, and replied: "That's not it, it's a few small publishing houses!" ”
Su Jin's heart sank, is this really the case? This was not unexpected. In fact, he already knows something about Huaxia's publishing policy! In today's China, the publishing industry is also one of the most traditional fields!
There is indeed a bias against the emerging online novels in such a traditional field, and in later generations, most of the early online novels were published through Taiwanese publishers! The mainland side will not gradually open up until after 08!
That is to say, Mr. Fat's publishing house is a private publishing house, and Su Xingfeng is the deputy mayor of the ancient city, and in the absence of a clear document, all aspects will give a little face, so that Su Jin's online novels can be released.
This is also the reason why Su Jin wanted to find a publishing house to release a novel through Su Xingfeng at the beginning! Because he knew that if it weren't for Su Xingfeng, no publishing house would have released his book at all! The strict publishing system has killed him directly!
This is also the reason why several large state-owned publishing houses, although they are red and fat, have not intervened in it! If several state-owned publishing houses intervene in it, I'm afraid that Mr. Fat's life will not be so nourishing!
"Do you want to do that?" Su Jin hesitated. It can be seen from the reactions of several publishing houses that although the state does not explicitly stipulate that such books cannot be published, at least there is no support. It is uncertain whether there will be repression in the future.
To put it simply, the current Su Jin is playing a sideline in the country's publishing policy. The most important thing to play the edge ball is to master a degree! You can't cross the line, otherwise you will definitely be shot to death! But you can't be completely compliant, in that case, how can there be profit!
But where exactly is this degree? Su Jin doesn't know! Have you attracted the attention of the top management now? Su Jin also didn't know! But all he knows is that what he is going to do next is that it will be a great stimulus to the current country, the current publishing house, and even the current people of the whole country!
Based on his experience, he is very good at judging what kind of reaction this kind of stimulation will have, whether this is called excessive or not!
It is not surprising that he has the heart to ask Su Xingfeng for advice. Su Xingfeng's experience and ability are not comparable to him. The main thing is that he is his father, and he will definitely consider things from his standpoint, and he will definitely not harm him.
But he finally gave up, because he felt as if he had become dependent on Su Xingfeng. First, something like this that has never happened in history, even Su Xingfeng may not give the right opinion. It is more likely that Su Xingfeng will give a more conservative opinion out of love for his children!
On the other hand, he also felt that he already had his own career in reading, and he would face various things in the future. I can't go back and ask my father! Then he's too useless!
"That's it! People die and birds rise to the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years! So be it! It's not like there's no way back anyway! If that day comes, I won't lose a lot! Su Jin said fiercely in his heart!
"Fat brother, the plan I want to discuss with you is 'assembly line creation'!" Su Jin looked at Mr. Fat and said firmly.
