Chapter 290: Visit in person

With Li Shushan's guidance, Wen Qingyu only felt that his goal was clearer.

She used to compare the advantages and disadvantages of many publishing houses, such as this publishing house is better at packaging newcomers, and that publishing house is particularly good at marketing, and she can also invite popular writers to recommend a waist cover......

But she found that these are actually not the most important, because after Li Shushan constantly brainwashed her, her commercial debut "Sword Breaking the Sky" is definitely the best, even if it relies on the reputation on the Internet, it will definitely be a big hit, she herself is inexplicably full of confidence, she only feels that any packaging and marketing are false, she can become a god with her own strength!

As a result, she began to favor smaller publishers with higher royalty rates and more sincerity.

Compared with those publishing houses that contacted Wen Qingyu through the Internet, the real sincerity was undoubtedly the publishing house that the president of the publishing house personally approached.

The name of this publishing house is called Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House, and it is not a small publishing house, but its situation is even worse than those small publishing houses, because it is on the verge of bankruptcy!

Originally, it was a relatively old publishing house, and its various sales channels were very perfect, but due to wrong development decisions, it continued to lose high-quality authors, the sales of its magazines plummeted, and the main published works did not have a good market response at all.

In such a situation, the former president of the Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House also died of illness, and it was Xu Rui, the daughter of the former president, who took over the position of president.

Xu Rui is only thirty years old, which can't help but make the staff of the publishing house even more panicked, only to feel that this old private publishing house is definitely going to end, after all, the current market competition is really getting more and more fierce.

However, what they didn't know was that Xu Rui, the daughter of the former president of the publishing house, was not optimistic about her father's decision-making at the beginning, and he spent a huge price to sign those traditional writers who had a huge influence in the literary world in order to make the Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House become a large-scale publishing house, and published those so-called award-winning works that were extremely literary but not commercial.

As a result, the Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House, which was not in a good profit situation, has become even worse, which is completely an act of losing money and making money!

Xu Rui felt that his father was simply blinded by some large publishing houses that engaged in this set, and he was fooled!

Those traditional authors whose fame is greater than their strength are not trustworthy at all, and those authors that large publishing houses really rely on are still those authors who have commercial appeal.

As a result, Xu Rui's father also fell ill because of this wrong decision, but until he died of illness, he didn't feel that his heart was wrong, but he was too anxious and didn't bet on the right person.

There are already such genius authors in this world, their works can not only sell well, but also win awards, and word of mouth explodes.

After Xu Rui succeeded as the president of Gujin Spring and Autumn Publishing House, she first agreed to the termination of the contract of some authors who relied on their own little fame and really thought they had commercial appeal.

These authors actually wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob and see if they could continue to improve their salary, but they never expected that the new president would be so decisive.

Then there are some employees who don't trust the new president who also choose to change jobs, they already think that this Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House is going to be finished, so their resumes are not good-looking, it is better to take advantage of the fact that it is not finished, and then change jobs first.

Xu Rui also did not retain these corpse vegetarians who were completely behind the times in her eyes, she preferred to recruit employees who were more passionate and motivated, preferably without any prejudice against commercial works, but rather liked to read them.

That's right, in Xu Rui's eyes, the way to save the Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House is to stick to the commercial route unswervingly, not to engage in the kind of bells and whistles, and not to sign up for authors who are famous by relying on literary awards, because their works will not be liked by the public at all, and the public just buys their works and puts them on the bookshelf to pretend to be forced.

Such authors are all tumor authors, all kinds of blows, she was cheated, of course she completely learned her lesson.

After dealing with everything in the Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House with thunderous means, Xu Rui naturally devoted her energy to the most important thing, that is, to find a few works with real commercial value and sign potential newcomers who can grow into the pillars of the publishing house!

This matter is very important, and the difficulty of completing it is also very high, and now the bad situation of the Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House has also made her fault tolerance rate very low!

After all, publishing a book is really like gambling, and no one can guarantee that it will be a hit......

In such a situation, the work "Sword Breaking the Sky" appeared in front of her, and she felt that this was really a chance for her to counterattack!

Xu Rui herself is a lover of business, and she often visits a forum called "Cooking Wine Books", where many readers who also like to read business share their favorite works.

This forum of "Cooking Wine and Discussing Books" has been slaughtered by "Sword Breaking the Sky", a conscience work serialized on the Internet, these days!

Everyone frantically discussed its worldview setting, upgrade system, and plot development, and the words were full of admiration for the author, and then they had to say that they really didn't have enough to see, and I really hope that the author will publish this book quickly, and they will definitely buy it!

It was with this curiosity that Xu Rui also went to see this work, of course, completely into the pit, and then had a bold idea - why can't this work and its author be signed?

No one needs such a phenomenal work more than the Spring and Autumn Ancient and Modern Publishing House, and she must seize this perfect opportunity!

So, when other publishing houses only stayed on the Internet to hook up and promise this author who "inked and stained copper", hoping to sign this newcomer who seemed to be very ignorant at the smallest cost (a really knowledgeable old author can write such a high-quality work, and he must submit it directly, rather than posting it on the Internet at will), Xu Rui took direct action, she made an appointment with Wen Qingyu on the Internet to meet the time and place in reality, and she wanted to go out in person to show her greatest sincerity!

And Wen Qingyu, who was trained by Li Shushan to just want to make money, was also full of expectations for the personal visit of a publishing house president.
