Chapter 211: Hitting the list, soliciting
Chang Zheng and Ma Yuan communicated, and with a stroke of the pen, they signed the document.
"Mei Ju Ju and Ah Feng's books, first printed 50,000 sets each. The books of the other three authors were printed in 20,000 copies each. Look at the market sales, and then decide whether to print and how much. Chang Zheng added.
Ma Yuan: "Understood. ”
Chang Zheng asked again: "When will it be printed at the earliest?" ”
Ma Yuan replied: "It will take a month, and there is still some preparation work to be done. After printing, will it be sent directly to the distributor, or will it be put in the warehouse of the printing house for a period of time? There are storage costs involved in the printing house, so you need to greet them in advance, and they can arrange the warehouse. ”
Chang Zheng thought for a while and said, "Let's talk to them first according to the plan of warehousing for one month." ”
“OK。” After receiving the instructions, Ma Yuan left the general manager's office.
If you print the book, you have to find a market, otherwise it will rot in the warehouse. Chang Zheng already has a market, that is, to take the existing sales channels of Nangang Literature and Art Publishing House.
Chang Zhenggang said that the first printing of 50,000 sets and 20,000 sets was not something he said casually. He determined the number of first prints after communicating with the distributors of Nangang Literature and Art Publishing House.
Chang Zheng wholesaled the finished books to several large book distributors, and these dealers sent them to bookstores and online book shopping malls across the country for terminal sales according to their own channels.
The upstream and downstream sales channels of the book industry are basically this model.
In the following month, the new starting point of the permanent expedition entered a full-scale outbreak stage. Chang Zheng's heart blossomed.
More than 3,000 VIP works of the new starting point network were listed on the "know the world" mobile reading platform as scheduled, and the new starting point network finally realized the great wish of the omni-channel flowering of electronic copyright, and the new starting point network and Huayue Group will meet hundreds of millions of mobile phone customers across the country side by side. Chang Zheng's biggest heart disease is temporarily over.
At the end of March, the physical book of the first four episodes of "Full Time Master" went on sale. After communicating with Nangang Literature and Art Publishing House, Chang Zheng arranged his first signing meeting to be held at the Nangang Convention and Exhibition Center for two consecutive days.
There is a game exhibition at the Nangang Convention and Exhibition Center in these two days. New Beginnings applied for a booth. The "Full Time Master" web game participated in the game show. This activity was arranged by Chang Zheng a long time ago, and Qiao Jun and Linda implemented it very well.
In fact, the "Full Time Master" page game itself was not the focus of the exhibition, the focus was on the signing of the regular recruitment, and the twelve models cosplayed into the game characters in "Full Time Master", which were shown at the booth for two days.
The "Full-Time Master" web game can be said to be the game with the lowest technical content in this game exhibition. But the booth of "Full-time Master" has become the most popular one in the entire exhibition hall.
The twelve models were carefully selected. Nine women and three men, their figures and appearances are all superior, female models require long legs, thin waists, hips, and large breasts, and male models require small fresh meat, eight-pack abs, and obvious mermaid lines. Twelve people just got together the twelve zodiac signs, and there was always a zodiac sign that was the player's dish.
As for whether these 12 models are really so coincidental, one for each zodiac sign? It doesn't seem to be. According to their real information, there are Capricorns alone. But the New Beginnings Company arranged for them to have one person in each constellation, so they gathered twelve Golden Saint Seiyas.
Who cares so much? The star has plastic surgery, and the good double chin can poke people to death after being sharpened. There are still people watching their plays. True and false, false and true, just entertainment, if you are serious, you will lose.
The 12 constellation models of "Full-time Master" are the same, just operational.
The 12 constellation model show for two days is just foreplay, and the main role of foreplay is to pave the way for Gao Chao. After the end of the model show, the homepage of the "Full-time Master" web game and the homepage of the new starting point website released promotional materials, announcing the game IDs of the 12 models in the "Full-time Master" page game, and the majority of players and models are welcome to interact in the game. This is the real purpose of Chang Zheng.
No one succeeds casually. Major victories don't come for nothing, layout and careful design are important.
Chang Zheng's model bureau is considered a success. Since the models started playing Full Time Master, the number of players and the amount of money spent on this web game have exploded.
Major victories have been achieved in both the wireless battlefield and the game battlefield, and a new starting point has also made a breakthrough in the battlefield of physical publishing. The five sets of physical books published and operated by New Beginnings have all been printed in mid-April and are currently in the preparatory stage before going on sale.
The icing on the cake is: In late April, New Start Company won the title of "Cultural Innovation Enterprise". It can be regarded as a golden signboard issued by the government.
Breakthroughs have been made in wireless, physical, and game sub-battlefields, and the main battlefield of the new starting point, the new starting point network, has also enjoyed the fruits of victory.
By the end of April, the daily hits of the new starting point had exceeded 30 million. New Beginnings' ranking in April has risen to ninth in the country.
For a company that has only been established for a year, Chang Zheng is leading a new starting point by leaps and bounds.
The average number of hits per day is 30 million. This is the data for the reader's line. This data has directly led to a significant increase in the advertising revenue of the new starting point, and it is expected that the advertising revenue of the new starting point will exceed 10 million in April.
Coupled with the same sharp increase in website subscription fees, including the wireless share of the new profit channel "Zhitianxia" platform, and the income of the "Full-time Master" page game, Chang Zheng suddenly found that he seemed to have money. In April, the revenue of all channels is combined, and the profit of the new starting point company is initially estimated to exceed 20 million!
And that's not even counting his personal income, which is the share of sales of the physical book "Full Time Master".
Since May last year, Chang Zheng has invested nearly 50 million yuan in the development of a new starting point company, and all the money he earned from writing books has been invested, including the money from Dou Yan's shop. Among them, the bulk is to upgrade the system, develop mobile phone networks and clients, etc., several major projects before the Spring Festival spent 20 million or 30 million, and the final payment of the project is still delayed in the current Changzheng. He really didn't have the money to pay off the balance in the past few months.
Now it seems that he can settle the balance in full, and he owes money to others, Chang Zheng can't help but go after all. Chang Zheng is in a good mood now, at this rate of profitability, from the second half of the year, all the capital he invested should be recovered, and then he will make pure profits.
What makes Chang Zheng even more pleased. New Starting Point is now becoming more and more famous, not only attracting more and more readers, but also attracting many excellent new authors to publish books.
Sunday, April 26th.
At the new starting point, every Sunday at two o'clock in the afternoon, it is the time to change the list. That is, the works on various lists last week were off the list. Change a new batch of works on the list.
At two o'clock today, the list on the homepage of the new starting point network is as usual, and there are 15 new works on the whole site.
It is not so easy to get on the homepage, and only the new books with the best results in the same period can be on the homepage.
The homepage will be promoted from 2 p.m. on Sunday to next Friday, and the works will be on the shelves. This type of listing is called a forced listing.
The strong push on the shelves is the work that the editors of the book station are optimistic about, and the basis for the strong push on the shelves is the previous achievements of this work, that is, the feedback of readers, which is reflected in the clicks, collections, recommended votes and other data. Of course, it also depends on the quality of the book itself.
The homepage of this issue is strongly recommended on the list. 13 of the 15 works are new books by new authors. These new authors are all recent to emerge.
The so-called new and old authors are relative. The new starting point is a book station that has been open for less than 1 year, compared with the old book station like Fenghua.com, the authors of the new starting point network are all new authors.
Since last year, I have been publishing books on the New Beginnings website, especially these authors who have participated in the author training class, and Chang Zheng defines them as the old authors of the New Beginnings website.
Authors who register their author numbers after the end of the year are defined as new authors.
Chang Zheng was delighted to see it. The level of these new authors who are forced to put on the shelves is quite high, basically higher than the old authors. There are several new authors whose level is even higher than that of the three minor gods such as Mei Ju. Straight to the heavens.
Strongly push the works on the shelves, and they will be on the shelves soon, with the number of words mostly between 25-350,000. With the professional vision of Chang Zheng, including the editors of the editorial department, it is enough to see from these two or three hundred thousand words whether an author and a work are excellent and whether they have market value.
Building a nest to attract a phoenix, finally attracting a golden phoenix. The brand of the new starting point is hard. It's also normal to have excellent authors keep joining. People go to high places, and good birds choose trees to perch.
Chang Zheng's ambition is expanding, and in a few months, maybe he can really fool the great god who came to the outstation. He has money now. The name of the new starting point network is also gradually getting louder, and Chang Zheng has the capital to hook up with the gods.
For a book station, hooking up with the god of the station is one thing, and the more important additional output value is that the fans of the god of the station can hook up together. Many die-hard fans follow the great gods, and they go wherever the great gods go.
Of course, grasp with both hands, and both hands should be hard. The outstation should hook up, and the aboriginal authors of this site should be cultivated.
The situation is getting better and better, everything seems to be going well, and everything is developing according to the permanent plan.
Thursday, April 30.
Tomorrow is the first day of the May Day holiday, and Chang Zheng decided to take Dou Yan out tonight for a good time. They booked an ultra-luxury seaview holiday room in the Xiangjiang Special Zone and drove over tonight to check in.
Since the establishment of the New Start Company in May last year, Chang Zheng has not traveled with Dou Yan once. So this year's May Day, Chang Zheng will accompany Dou Yan on a three-day vacation in the Xiangjiang Special Economic Zone.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Chang Zheng had already driven to the vicinity of the pass in Dongkou City, and after passing the pass, it was in the territory of the Xiangjiang Special Economic Zone.
"After this intersection, drive for another five minutes and you'll be at the gate." Chang Zheng said to Dou Yan, "I, Tolinda, helped me get a two-place license for this SUV, and we will drive directly through the customs later." Just hand the pass out and show it to the border officer, soon. ”
"I've been to the Special Zone several times, but every time it's a turnaround, I really haven't been there." Dou Yan said, "In fact, there is nothing to visit in the Special Economic Zone, except for high-rise buildings, it is a dense crowd. I only have one goal in going to the SAR this time, to go shopping! ”
"Fight! Fight to the death! You are shopping hard, stuffing this car and let's go back to Nangang. Chang Zheng said heroically.
At this time, the on-board display screen prompts that Chang Zheng's mobile phone has an incoming call, and the display screen and Chang Zheng's mobile phone have opened a Bluetooth connection.
Chang Zheng was driving, Dou Yan looked at the display screen and said, "Lin Yonggang called." ”
Chang Zheng: "Help me connect." ”
Dou Yan clicked on the display screen, and the phone was connected.
"Mr. Chang, it's not good! Something is wrong! As soon as Lin Yonggang opened his mouth, he said amazingly, and it sounded like he was in a hurry.
"Don't worry, Lao Lin, speak slowly, what's wrong?" Chang Zheng said into the display.
Dou Yan also frowned, a little worried. She knew that Lin Yonggang was not a person who had no master when something happened, and it seemed that something really happened.
Lin Yonggang: "Run, run away!" The authors all ran away. ”
"Huh? Wait a minute. Chang Zheng drove to the side of the road and hung the parking gear, "What's the situation?" Be specific? ”
Lin Yonggang: "Tomorrow is Friday, and this batch of 15 works that will be put on the shelves will be released tomorrow. Just half an hour ago, 13 of these 15 works were forcibly pushed to the shelves, and these 13 authors ran away collectively! ”
Almost at the same time, the 13 authors posted the latest chapters, revised their synopses, and pinned the highlights in the book review section. The message they conveyed was almost the same, that is: for some reason, I could not continue to post on the New Beginnings website. But I will continue to write about this book, and the new link is below......"
Chang Zheng was shocked, and he asked: "These 13 authors are all new authors, right?" ”
Lin Yonggang: "Yes, they are all newly registered in the last month or two. ”
Chang Zheng asked again: "Where is the new link linked?" ”
Lin Yonggang seemed to be gritting his teeth: "Flying Bird Net." ”
Dou Yan looked stunned, and Chang Zheng was thinking about something with a cold face.
After more than ten seconds, Chang Zheng hatefully spit out a few words: "Playing the list and soliciting customers...... It's really TM ruthless. ”
"Playing the list and soliciting?" Dou Yan didn't seem to have heard of the word.
"Mr. Chang, what should I do now? Did you seal these 13 works or what? Lin Yonggang asked.
"Are you in the company? Old Forest. Chang Zheng asked, and he seemed quite calm.
Lin Yonggang: "Yes, I was just about to get off work when I found out about this file." ”
Chang Zheng: "Don't do anything other than normal operations, don't seal the work." It's useless if you block it, they must still have a fan base or something, and they can still spread. When I returned, I arrived at the office in an hour. In this way, Lao Lin is responsible for maintaining stability at home, don't panic, wait for me to come back. ”
After hanging up the phone, Chang Zheng drove around and returned to Nangang.
"What do you mean by soliciting customers?" Dou Yan asked Chang Zheng, and she looked worried.
"In order to make the new starting point online office prosperous, I have set up a lot of bureaus and designed a lot of operation plans. I didn't think that I was also designed by someone else this time. It's this bird net again. Chang Zheng said coldly, "My layout and operation are all based on reasonable methods, which are normal marketing methods, and I have not maliciously attacked other competitors." But this bird net, the yin self again and again, is really hateful! ”
"Playing the list and soliciting customers, it is this bastard Flying Bird Network who arranges for undercover writers to come to our website to post and make lists. is on the list, there are more readers, and these undercover writers tell readers: I went to Flying Bird to continue the update, you all come over. ”
"It's so vicious, I haven't seen it in years. I didn't expect to experience it once in my lifetime. Chang Zheng actually has never seen the "list solicitation" such a bad trick, when he was an editor, he heard the old editors talk about this legend. That was what happened in the silver age of the earth's online literature (the early days of the earth's online literature), and then Changzheng's old club dominated the online literature world, and "playing the list and soliciting customers" has become a legend since then.
"It's like you've lived a long time." Dou Yan muttered, "What now?" Hit back? We also sent undercover writers to Bird.com to hit the list and pull readers back? ”
Chang Zheng shook his head: "Playing the list and soliciting customers is much more lethal than sending professional sunspots to hack us." This is robbing our readers and destroying the very foundation on which we live. Fighting back and forth, the two families died together. Kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000 yourself. Is Asuka going to die with us this time? It seems that we've been going too well lately, and the demons and monsters have jumped out. This matter should be considered in the long run, and we will talk about it when we go back. (To be continued......)
