192 My Territory, My Rules!
Because Cao Zhiqiang pretended to be drunk, he did not participate in the later links, such as lottery shows and the like.
After the end of the song and everyone left satisfied, Cao Zhiqiang secretly asked people to find Yu Deli and asked him to quietly inform him that after the opening ceremony, everyone would not have to go to work in the afternoon, take a half-day off, and come to work early tomorrow morning.
Of course, the site must be cleaned up before the holiday.
Because Cao Zhiqiang felt that the opening ceremony was so big and the fun was so high, people's hearts were wild, and if they let people work in the afternoon, the work efficiency would definitely be very poor, so they would simply take a holiday.
In this way, I am also idle.
Then, at nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, when Cao Zhiqiang arrived at the office building of the publishing house, he found that everyone had already arrived.
Not only Yu Deli and the six newcomers he was looking for have arrived, but also President Zhou Huaien and five other old employees of the original Red Light Magazine Department.
In other words, everyone is waiting for Cao Zhiqiang, the general manager.
This made Cao Zhiqiang a little embarrassed, but he really couldn't do it if he asked him to go to work at seven o'clock in the morning.
seemed to see Cao Zhiqiang's embarrassment, President Zhou Huaien suddenly said first: "Actually, General Manager Cao has every opportunity, and he works hard for the affairs of the publishing house every day, and yesterday in order to deal with the leadership, he was directly drunk on the spot."
This body is a little unwell, and it is understandable to come a little later today, don't you say? ”
The president has said so, and everyone can say anything else, naturally they are all right.
In this regard, Cao Zhiqiang could only smile and nod to everyone and apologize.
Next, Cao Zhiqiang announced in public that since all the personnel are here, let's go to the conference room for a meeting.
In this way, the first all-staff meeting after the establishment of the publishing house officially began.
As soon as the meeting began, Cao Zhiqiang immediately proposed a new rule, requiring everyone to go to work in the future, all of them are scheduled for 9 o'clock in the morning, the end of work is set at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and the lunch break is from 12 o'clock in the afternoon to 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
It's called 9 to 5.
In addition, you can rest on Saturdays and Sundays.
This is called Saturday and Sunday.
Originally, Cao Zhiqiang thought that this proposal must be welcomed by everyone, but who knew that it would usher in a lot of opposition.
Many people feel that this is too loose, and if they don't do it, it is easy to cause slackness and work efficiency.
This made Cao Zhiqiang stunned, I really didn't expect that people in this era were so simple, as leeks, but for the sake of capitalists everywhere.
What can Cao Zhiqiang do?
Although he is the boss who pays money, he can't fight against public opinion.
In the end, the discussion went back and forth, and a compromise was simply taken.
The new plan is to go to work at 8:30 in the morning, take a lunch break from 12 noon to 1:30 in the afternoon, and leave work at 5:30 in the afternoon.
Saturdays and Sundays are canceled, and they still follow the trend, with only one day off on Sundays a week.
However, on Saturday, the unit will not arrange important work, so everyone can relax appropriately.
In addition, this rule only restricts the employees below the general manager, that is, the seven newcomers, including Yu Deli.
Cao Zhiqiang, the general manager, and the six old employees who were originally sent by the Red Light Magazine Department are not within the constraints of this working time, and their working hours are arbitrary.
After this plan is passed, the next and most important topic will be the next topic - to carry out the project!
Yes, the publishing house is open, but it's just an empty shell, and there are no actual projects for which money has come in.
It's like a shell company with a company name but no entity.
If it is a regular publishing house in the nature of a public institution, it is okay, and whether there are projects or not, the money will be distributed as usual, after all, there is a financial allocation.
So that kind of publishing house, you can fish slowly, and the publishing house has not come to the project for more than half a year since its establishment, which is normal.
However, Cao Zhiqiang, the Hongguang Publishing House, is a contract management system, which is purely self-financing.
If you are not in a hurry like other publishing houses, I am afraid that you will not be able to pay your salary soon.
Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang has a plan for this matter.
After all, the so-called money project is the content, and in terms of content, Cao Zhiqiang has already had it.
The reason why Cao Zhiqiang deliberately established the publishing house was to get the distribution channels right first.
With its own distribution channels, it's trivial to make content.
"Regarding the project, don't worry." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Actually, I had several projects in mind long before I established this publishing house. ”
Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang paused, and then said his project plan.
It turned out that Cao Zhiqiang already had three projects at hand, representing "far, medium and near".
That is, long-term projects, medium-term projects, and near-term projects.
The first one is the upcoming project, which is the project that everyone is going to do right away.
This project is to publish a book, but not a collection of poems, but Cao Zhiqiang's "Broken Void".
The book "Broken Void", Cao Zhiqiang has written it a long time ago, but Cao Zhiqiang has been keeping it secret and has not easily found someone to publish it.
Now, with your own publishing house, you can sign a contract with yourself, and of course all kinds of discounts can be full.
In this way, not only can you make a fortune with the book, but the publisher can also make a fortune from it.
For this reason, Cao Zhiqiang has investigated and made an estimate a long time ago.
Assuming that the first printing volume of this book is 100,000 copies, then the total printing price will not exceed 300,000 yuan, and the printing cost of a single book will not exceed 3 yuan, which is still a requirement for high-quality printing.
If the price of a single book is twenty-five yuan, then the book is divided like this.
The first is the issuance cost, which is generally at 60% of the list price.
This part is mainly to sell the books in bulk to wholesale institutions such as Xinhua Bookstore and Distribution Office, and the share they want at this time is generally called a discount.
For example, if the issuer wants 60 percent, it is 6 percent, and 70 percent is 7 percent.
The bigger the publishing house, the greater the discount, for example, the textbooks issued by the People's Publishing House can be discounted to 5%.
But for small publishing houses, seven folds are normal.
And Cao Zhiqiang has a big leader as a backer, and I believe that it is no problem to negotiate a 6% discount wholesale price with Xinhua Bookstore.
Of course, if the publishing house doesn't sell the book to wholesalers, it does its own wholesale and retail, that's fine, but it's another cost, it's not suitable for now, and you can consider it later.
Excluding half of the 60 distribution cost, a book priced at 25 yuan will only have a profit of 10 yuan.
This part of the profit minus the cost of three yuan, there is only a share of seven yuan.
If the circulation can reach 100,000 copies, it will be 700,000 yuan.
700,000, 37 cents.
The publishing house took 30% and got 210,000.
Personally, I take seventy percent, and I get 490,000.
For a publishing house, earning 210,000 yuan for a book is really a lot.
Nowadays, many publishing houses, it is difficult to say whether the gross income is 20,000 yuan a year.
Don't look at the publishing boom in the 80s, but there are many types and quantities of books on the market, and many books can't be sold at all, so it's good if you don't lose money.
is like the later Internet authors, just looking at the top gods made money, but most of them were still at the bottom of the street.
The same is true for the publishing houses in these years, most of them are street publishing houses, and there are dozens of well-known publishing houses that can really get ahead.
Only publishers that can sell bestsellers can really make money.
To put it bluntly, in the publishing house, if you want to make money, you have to win with content.
In other words, once the book "Broken Void" is released and listed, as long as the book is priced at 25 yuan, it can sell 100,000 copies, even according to the outrageous division method of gross profit of 37 cents, it is enough for the publishing house to eat for several years.
As for whether this division is unscientific, is there a problem......
The publishing house is mine!
I'm in charge of my territory!
I said yes, if it doesn't, if it doesn't!
That bald guy surnamed Zheng can run a children's magazine that only serves himself in two years, and he can eat it all up, why can't I?
As for whether "Shattered Void" will sell well, can it sell 100,000 copies?
Hehe, Cao Zhiqiang is saying less, the actual situation will only be better.
After all, this is 1983!
At this time, the reform of state-owned enterprises had just begun, and the printing houses were basically state-run and had not yet taken care of their own profits and losses.
This has also caused a phenomenon, that is, domestic piracy has not been as rampant as later, and even if there is piracy, it is only a small fight, and the number of pirated books cannot be compared with genuine books.
It's not the age of the Internet, where it's so easy to read a pirated book.
But because of this, everyone's entertainment methods are still very backward, and the enthusiasm of the Chinese people for martial arts is extremely high, far exceeding that in the future.
To put it mildly, the martial arts of the 80s, in terms of attractiveness, are actually far less than the martial arts and fantasy of the 90s or even 2,000 years later.
Without him, the competitiveness is different.
Martial arts after the nineties are extremely competitive.
The martial arts that can stand out from those competitions can basically be judged as fairy grass, and they don't worry about sales at all.
Therefore, a good book like "Broken Void", which has been evaluated by the broad masses of the people, has a circulation of 100,000 copies?
Hehe, the pattern is small!
According to Cao Zhiqiang's estimate, if this book is really released, it must start with one million copies!
It's just that if you start printing one million copies, the cost will be at least two million yuan, and Cao Zhiqiang can't afford this money now.
Therefore, he can only print 100,000 copies first, the purpose is not to test the waters, but to quickly return the funds.
You must know that the author's name of this book, Cao Zhiqiang decided to use the pen name "Qiangzi", which is already somewhat famous.
Although "Qiangzi" is a poet, who said that poets can't write martial arts?
On the contrary, with the blessing of the halo of a famous poet, I believe that the forced style of this martial arts book will also be raised, and the peak of debut will not be reached, but it should still be possible to become famous when it debuts.
With fame, as long as the content is good, sales will definitely not be a problem.
At the very least, the sales at the beginning were no problem, after all, there was the blessing of the fame of a well-known poet.
In other words, if the pen name "Hadron" is added, and it is indicated that this is the new work of the poet Hadron Tzu.
Then the book "Broken Void" is no longer the treatment of a newcomer and a new book, but a new work by a well-known author, with its own halo of popularity, and when it is published, it can speed up the distribution.
The fast issuance speed is equal to the fast return of money.
If you get the money back quickly, you can naturally use the money to continue to invest and do bigger things.
For example, Cao Zhiqiang's next medium-term project and long-term project.
