After inspecting the editing room and arranging the recruitment of editors, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.

Chang Zheng came to another key part of the company, the IT control room, to continue the inspection.

There are four people on duty in the control room, an engineer from a system software company, and Zou Peng and two other IT department employees. Some of the four were nibbling on burgers, some were eating pizza, and some were sucking hot and sour noodles. They look at the computer as they eat their food.

"It's always good." , the four of them greeted Chang Zheng, and they hurriedly put down the food.

"Okay, okay." , Chang Zheng returned with a friendly smile, "You can continue to eat, it's okay." ”

Chang Zheng asked Zou Peng: "Everything is normal?" ”

Zou Peng: "At present, it is normal. Today's number of hits on my site skyrocketed, and there were more hits in an hour today than in the previous ten days combined. ”

Chang Zheng continued to ask: "How is the server load?" ”

Zou Peng: "Now it can correspond. We made a prediction that if the number of books in the library reaches 50,000, we may have to upgrade the hardware and system. ”

Chang Zheng nodded: "Okay, I see." Thank you very much. Is there enough manpower? ”

Zou Peng whispered to Chang Zheng: "Mr. Chang, please take a step to speak." ”

Chang Zheng and Zou Peng entered the next office, and Chang Zheng asked Zou Peng quietly: "Dapeng, have you encountered management problems?" Chang Zheng knew that Zou Peng invited himself here alone and specified what to say.

Zou Peng looked a little worried: "At present, with me, there are a total of five people in the IT department, and if the firepower is fully opened, it will be just enough." I have something to report to Mr. Chang, several of my brothers are very willing and diligent. But in terms of treatment, they seem to be a little bit of a whisper. ”

Chang Zheng maintained a calm expression, but he was a little unhappy in his heart. How long have you been doing this before you're asking for a raise?

Chang Zheng smiled and asked Zou Peng, "Then what kind of treatment do your brothers expect?" "Zou Peng's salary is six thousand, and the salary of his four younger brothers is three thousand three. Their basic salary is set by the regular levy himself, which is indeed not very high. But they work a lot of overtime. Counting overtime wages, the four younger brothers can get five or six thousand a month.

Zou Peng hesitated for a few seconds and said: "Their work intensity is very high, and they are also engaged in the core work of the company. They hope that their wages will be increased appropriately, and the basic monthly salary will reach 5,000. I talked to them and told them that the company was just starting out and that everyone should take their time. It will get better in the future, and the treatment will go up. But I can also understand their feelings, the so-called distribution according to work, more work is more. ”

Chang Zheng's eyes flashed with a gleam, but it disappeared immediately, he still kept smiling, but he was a little worried in his heart. Zou Peng, Zou Peng, I don't think it's your little brother asking for a salary increase, but you yourself want to raise your salary, right?

Use my little brother as an excuse and threaten me? I have left you. My site won't work, will it?

The basic salary of the younger brother has risen to 5,000, and Zou Peng, as the head of the department, must also increase his salary.

In fact, it is nothing to raise the salary with a few of them, but Chang Zheng does not like to be threatened. Whether it's light or dark, he doesn't like it.

But now, Chang Zheng really has to rely on Zou Peng's group of IT personnel. Especially Zou Peng, he has been following up since the bidding of the software system. He is most familiar with the system of New Beginnings. This Zou Peng is very respectful to me on the surface, but he has a lot of ideas in his heart.

Zou Peng said he used to partner with a friend to open a software studio. Take the subcontract of a large company and write some small programs. Later, he lost money, the studio closed, and he was in debt, so he came out to work.

Chang Zheng knew that people like Zou Peng would stay with him for a long time, and Dafan had done it himself, and when they had saved enough capital one day, they would fight again.

Chang Zheng now needs experienced people like Zou Peng, Zou Peng needs money, and they take what they need.

But Zou Peng, are you a little too anxious? After only working for more than two months, you came to force the palace? I can understand that you need money to pay off your debts or save up capital for a comeback in the future. But you really shouldn't be in such a hurry, everything will fall into place.

Chang Zheng patted Zou Peng's shoulder and said, "Dapeng, I understand the feelings of the brothers. However, the company's salary and treatment are different, and the treatment is different for different levels. You say that I have raised the basic salary of your IT department all of a sudden, what will the other employees think? It's hard to keep this kind of thing a secret. Can you guarantee that your brother will not give this festive news after his salary has been raised? This greatly affects the harmony and stability of the company. ”

Zou Peng's face was embarrassed: "That's ......"

Chang Zheng changed his words: "However, you can respond flexibly." As the traffic of our station increases, the system support staff in the rear definitely needs more. After there are more people, the IT department can be upgraded to the system support department, and then you will be the section chief Zou. In the future, when we become larger, we will also set up a technical support department. If the department is upgraded and expanded, your brothers will naturally be promoted, and won't it be justified to give them a salary increase at that time? You tell me? The day will come soon, trust me. ”

"Okay, thank you Mr. Chang for your support. Then I'll go back to work. Zou Peng was not very happy, but he was not unhappy, so he went back to the control room.

People are the most complex individuals, everyone has their own ideas, and Chang Zheng knows this. Zou Peng has his own ideas, and Chang Zheng can understand them. But through Zou Peng's words today, Chang Zheng also deeply realized that as a manager and the controller of a company, you can't just rely on a gun. You have to have a spare tire.

Chang Zheng stabilized Zou Peng just now, after all, he needed him now. But he didn't promise to give them a salary increase right away, otherwise where would the prestige of the general manager be? If you say it's going up, I'll give it to you right away.

Controlling people is really a profound knowledge, which is much more difficult than writing a book. Chang Zheng thoughtfully walked out of the office on the second floor, not only Zou Peng, does every important position have to be prepared?

The prime minister is divided into left and right, and the generals are also divided into left and right, it seems that the previous emperors have long known the importance of spare tires.

……

After inspecting the control room, Chang Zheng returned to the third floor, and he looked outside the editing room, where all four editors were working overtime.

Chang Zheng walked into the editing room, he slapped his face and said, "Thank you for your hard work, let's have a small meeting." After saying that, he pulled a whiteboard and wrote and drew on it.

Chang Zheng drew four boxes, in which were written "people", "machines", "materials" and "laws". Chang Zheng said: "Now there are more and more registered authors on our site, and the quantity and quality of authors and their works. It is the foundation for the survival of an online website. How to manage these authors and works well, I would like to share with you on the aspects of people, machines, materials, and methods. ”

"First of all, let's talk about the 'law' link. For us and the author, law is a contract, a stipulation. As more and more authors are registered, more and more authors will be signed. Therefore, we must have a perfect signing mechanism, this signing mechanism can refer to the major online websites, they have developed to the present, the signing mechanism has been very mature and perfect, we can learn from it. ”

"Machines and materials, i.e. equipment, machines and production materials. That is, the hardware and software of our website, which we also have. And it will continue to escalate. ”

"The most important thing is people, and people are the authors of the first serialization on my site. Attracting them, retaining them, managing them well, and finally cultivating them into gods is a long way to go. As long as a website can have a few great gods, at least it will not starve to death. So it's also a very meaningful and exciting thing. It's not enough to rely on the god of the cang. Chang Zheng smiled as he spoke, "Fenghua Net has five main gods, twenty-four great gods sitting in the hall, and Blue Orange Net has eight King Kong supreme gods." There are six dominant gods in the Red Leaf Net. We also have to have a group of immortals, and we have to form a group for everything these days, and the gods are no exception. ”

"God, not every writer can become a god like you. The chances of becoming a god are very low. Let's just say that the five main gods, more than 500,000 writers of Fenghua.com, can only produce five main gods over the years, that is really one out of a thousand. No, one out of 100,000 miles. If we want to form a group of immortals, we must have at least a reserve of hundreds of thousands of writers. Unless you go to the outstation and dig up the great god directly. ”。 Lin Yonggang said.

"If there is a chance to dig up the great god, I will definitely not be soft." , Chang Zheng took an oil-based pen and drew a circle on the word "person", and said: "Of course, digging the great god also depends on chance, not that I can dig it if I want to, but the great god is not a radish." It is more realistic to train existing people. If you want to cultivate, you must first retain. We don't have anything to do with it at the moment, we can only improve the treatment of authors. As long as the signed author can be stably updated for a period of time, regardless of his grades, we guarantee to put him on the shelves. I have been thinking about it for a long time and want to implement an author benefit, as long as I sign a contract and guarantee to update more than 4,000 words every day, the author can get a full attendance award, and the amount is 500 yuan. ”

"Five hundred, no more, no less." Lin Yonggang said: "The full attendance awards of other websites are generally only available when they are on the shelves, ranging from 300 to 600. Always have the courage to sign a full attendance award, so that the company will increase a lot of expenses. I'll help you calculate, if we have a thousand signed authors with stable updates, we will have to give out 500,000 attendance bonuses a month. ”

Chang Zheng said with a smile: "Lao Lin, if we have a thousand signed authors who are stably updated, it means that the number of authors on our whole site must be one or two thousand." At that time, 500,000 yuan was nothing. Since we guarantee that we will definitely put it on the shelves after signing the contract, in fact, the 500 yuan full attendance award is only a few months early, or a few more months. From signing to putting on the shelves, if you guarantee that at least 4,000 words are updated every day, it will be one month fast, and two or three months slow. But for the author, being able to get the money first is a psychological incentive. Although 500 yuan is not much, for the authors, their efforts are rewarded and affirmed, which will stimulate their more vigorous creative desire. Hopefully, this is a good thing for the author and for us. ”

The four editors thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense." ”

Chang Zheng continued: "When you sign a contract, you will be given a full attendance award, which is the first benefit. The second benefit is that after the shelves, the average subscription share we give to authors is 5 cents per 1,000 words. ”

"A thousand words and five cents?" , the editor in charge, Xiao Gu, was a little surprised, "I have written an online novel for a while, and the price of a thousand words and five cents is very high. Fenghua.com is the highest in the industry, and the share they give to the author is four cents per thousand words. ”

Chang Zheng: "There must be brave men under the heavy reward, we are a new station, what do we rely on to attract authors if we don't raise the price?" If you want an author to create a good work, you have to let them fill in their stomachs. The five-cent subscription share, each with five hundred, plus the attendance award, can make an author fill in the stomach. The average subscription of 500 is calculated according to the monthly update of 120,000 words, and you can earn 3,000 yuan a month, plus full attendance is 3,500 yuan, and if there is a local tyrant reward, it will be more. The more you update, the more you earn. Save a little money, and you can spend 3,500 yuan in Nangang for a month. At this time last year, I hadn't even started writing "Infinite Terror", and more than 2,000 yuan was enough for me to live for a month. ”

"So ......", Lin Yonggang answered: "We give the author a share of five cents for 1,000 words, so the reader has to spend a dime to subscribe to 1,000 words?" We still have to charge five cents for our website. Readers subscribe to a dime for a thousand words, which is very high, Mr. Chang! Fenghua.com only charges eight cents, and the cheapest website is two or three cents. I'm going to say something nasty, why do we charge such a high subscription fee? ”

Ma Yuan: "yes, I also think it's a bit high. ”

Editor-in-charge Xiao Gu: "It's indeed a bit high......"

Contracted editor Xiao Cheng MM: "I haven't studied it. But I usually read online novels on Fenghua.com, and subscribing to a VIP chapter of 3,000 words seems to cost more than two cents. We charge a dime for 1,000 words, and those 3,000 words are three cents. ”

"Hey, don't worry, I'm not done yet." , Chang Zheng took an oil-based pen and wrote an "8" on the whiteboard, saying: "We charge eight cents for a thousand words, not a dime." Let's maintain a price balance with Fenghua.com. ”

"Huh?" , the four editors were even more surprised.

Lin Yonggang hit the nail on the head: "We charge readers eight cents for 1,000 words, the author gets five cents, and our website gets three cents." Aren't we losing, didn't we survive by subscription in the early days? Mr. Chang, are you quite willing to spend money, you have enough funds? ”

"Lost? We didn't lose anything, we couldn't make three cents. Chang Zheng explained to everyone: "Of course, the price of eight cents may be a bit high, but we can't be presumptuous. Fenghua.com charges up to eight cents per thousand words, why does the number of people who go to their website to read books only increase? Most of my country's consumers buy up and not down, and people think that products that are too cheap are copycats. Fenghua.com earns four cents for a thousand words, we earn three cents, one penny less than them, and we give this penny to our signed authors. Please believe me, don't underestimate this penny, today's penny investment will bring us hundreds of millions of times the return tomorrow! (To be continued......)
