Chapter 91: A reprint of the first edition
The year 1998 is history as the New Year's bell rings.
"I wish us a win-win situation in this cooperation!"
"Happy working together!"
On the occasion of the arrival of the new year, Wang Qinian, on behalf of the small partner culture company, successfully signed an equal business cooperation agreement with North Carolina magazine!
The 4ooo copy of "Rose Girl" in the inventory of the small partner company, according to the batch price of 7 yuan per copy, was all taken away by "North Carolina" magazine, and "North Carolina" magazine also paid 28,000 yuan in cash in advance.
For this cooperation, the editor of "BJ Cartoon" Yan took great pains and even gambled on his own future. Therefore, after the signing of this cooperation, Editor Yan's attention to "The Rose Girl" has reached a new level! Within the scope of his authority, he will increase the publicity of "Rose Maiden" as much as possible!
"North Carolina" sells a single book of "Rose Girl", which is also more professional.
For example, just publishing an advertisement for a single copy of "The Rose Maiden" in a magazine is enough to attract many readers to place orders. Because, most fans of "Rose Maiden" are through Guò "North Carolina" magazine to learn about the latest developments in this comic.
At present, many readers are willing to buy a single book, but they may not know that the single book of "The Rose Maiden" has been published.
In addition, as the leader of domestic comic magazines, the sales network of "North Carolina" can basically cover most cities in China. Once the channel advantage is fully displayed, almost any reader who wants to buy this book can buy it!
So far, the 10,000 copies of the "Rose Girl" manga have been sold out. In addition to various costs, the company made a net profit of 13,000 yuan.
After all the 10,000 copies of "The Rose Girl" were sold, Wang Qinian continued to cooperate with Relay Publishing House and placed an order for another 10,000 copies.
The cost of the second reprint of 10,000 copies is much lower than before, and the cost of a single book is about 4 yuan. Similarly, the second reprint also sold very quickly!
The 8ooo book was picked up by the "North Carolina" magazine as soon as it left the factory, and the 2ooo book sold by the partner company itself in BJ City was also snapped up by many bookstores and bookstalls that tasted the sweetness.
Because this project is very interesting, Wang Qinian decided to dig an expert editor who is responsible for running the "Rose Girl" project.
"What about this publishing business, that's it for now." Wang Qinian said, "At present, we are focusing on the "Rose Girl" series, managing the brand of this series, and increasing the value of its copyright. For other works, we don't have the funds and energy to do it for the time being, so there is no need to take this risk. If the "Rose Maiden" project makes more money, you can consider running other books in the future! ”
"Mr. Wang, what you said is very right." Chen Sanqiang, the company's only editor, nodded again and again.
"Also, it's 10,000 copies printed each time! No matter how optimistic the sales market is, it must be printed in batches, with 10,000 copies per batch! If the stock is not sold out, it will not be reprinted! Wang Qinian smiled and said, "The culture of our enterprise must be exhibited after the husband!" To survive, you have to make the risk controllable! Even if you lose money, you will control the loss within 10,000 books. ”
Chen Sanqiang showed an expression of sudden realization when he heard this, but in fact, he was a little disapproving.
The operation of a bestseller often depends on the senior editor's perception of the market and the appeal of the writer. As well as the company's capital strength and publicity strength, many bestsellers have printed hundreds of thousands of copies, and with such a large print run, it must be matched with strong publicity!
And batch after batch of printing, how does it look like a tactic to add oil!
Although the risk is controlled, it also reduces the efficiency and overall cost. If you have confidence in your work, you should do your best!
But there is no way, the little partner company was opened by Wang Qinian, the boss is the biggest, and whatever the boss says, it is what it is! There's no need to be as stubborn as before!
This Chen Sanqiang originally worked in an old publishing company, but because of the layoff of state-owned enterprises in 98, tens of millions of employees were laid off nationwide.
Chen Sanqiang's publishing unit has cut off eighty percent of its employees on a large scale, and although he has not been laid off, his salary is in arrears for half a year.
It is precisely because of this that under the solicitation of the 8oo yuan base salary plus performance bonus of the small partner company, it is easy for him to make up his mind and jump to a private company.
Of course, Chen Sanqiang is the only editor specializing in book publishing in his partner company, and the sales of books are also closely related to his personal bonuses.
The company signed a performance bonus contract for him, and he could be rewarded with five cents for each additional book sold. Others don't have a lot of money to read, but for every 10,000 books sold, they can bring him at least 5,000 yuan in bonuses. If the operating cost is a batch of bestsellers, then his bonus can be compared with that of a best-selling author!
In the world, which publishing season would give editors such a high share of the benefits?
Therefore, Chen Sanqiang is full of enthusiasm for his future!
Of course, he is only responsible for sales in one area of BJ City, so the work pressure is not very high. Thinking of this, Chen Sanqiang not only slandered in his heart, this was the lowest technical content in his career.
Therefore, Chen Sanqiang soon began to pick up a phone book and contact the bookstore owner he knew before: "Hey, Boss Zhang?" Little brother Chen Sanqiang! Now I don't work in the same place as before, and I go to the sea to work as an editor in a private company. Shortly after joining the company, he was in charge of the sales of the single comic book of "Rose Girl...... Oh? You've heard the name of this manga too! 5oo Ben? Thank you so much, brother, you are my benefactor, I will deliver it to my door in person immediately! ”
"Sister Li......"
"Uncle Zhang......"
"The ...... of the third master"
A series of phone calls came, some refused, and some cheerfully helped.
The order for 2ooo Ben was completed in less than a day.
Next, you can print again, print 10,000 copies, and earn a bonus of 5,000 yuan after successfully selling them, which is equivalent to a year's salary of the previous unit!
Chen Sanqiang suddenly felt quite proud, although he resigned from his previous unit, but instead he was a blessing in disguise and received a salary that was unimaginable before!
Now, he only hopes that the publishing business of his partner company can be expanded and a special publishing department can be established. At that time, if he was asked to recruit people, he would recruit those leaders who were high in the previous unit to run errands as junior brothers, and let them see their faces, haha......
