Just when Cao Zhiqiang secretly praised his wit and was secretly proud of it, a young man with glasses who looked thinner than Cao Zhiqiang, but his skin was slightly darker, suddenly raised his hand.

"General manager, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Hearing the man with black thin glasses raise his hand to speak, Cao Zhiqiang was slightly stunned, but he still nodded to him very kindly: "It's okay, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

After getting Cao Zhiqiang's approval, the black and thin young man with glasses smiled shyly, then put down his hand and said seriously:

"General Manager, if I heard me right, what you just said is to let each of us go and be your ...... Book writer, record the martial arts stories in your heart, and then publish them in the form of serialization in one of your upcoming journals, right? ”

"Yes, yes, that's it." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "What, is there a problem?" ”

"There are a lot of questions." The man with thin black glasses nodded solemnly, "And very much taken for granted." ”

As soon as he heard this, Yu Deli immediately reprimanded: "Zhao Shouwen, what are you talking about? How do you talk to the general manager? ”

Cao Zhiqiang frowned, waved his hand at Yu Deli, and then looked at the man with black thin glasses again.

"Your name is Zhao Shouwen, right?"

"Yes, general manager, I'm Zhao Shouwen."

Seeing the other party's humble and arrogant answer, Cao Zhiqiang nodded and continued to say with a smile: "Then tell me, where is the problem with my plan?" ”

Zhao Shouwen said: "First of all, I know that you are a very famous poet, I have read your works, which are very good, and the popularity of your poetry collection once again proves your talent in poetry.

Personally, I think that, at least in terms of modern poetry, your fifty-one poems, the first classic, can already be regarded as the top poet of the new school of poets.

However, being able to write poetry does not mean that you can write, especially martial arts.

But even if you think that the martial arts you write are not bad, but this is just your own opinion, and it has not been verified by the market.

It seems too risky for you to let all of us write with you as soon as you come up without being market-proven.

Yes, you're famous, but you're famous, it's all in poetry.

And to put it mildly, the poetry circle and the martial arts circle, although it cannot be said that there is no intersection, but the intersection is not big.

Therefore, although your pen name is very famous in the poetry world, if you use this pen name to write martial arts, I am afraid that it may not be accepted by the market and may not be able to sell well. ”

Hearing what the other party said, Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but Zhao Shouwen spoke again:

"In fact, the general manager, our publishing house has just been established, self-financing, and has no reputation.

In this regard, I myself have reservations about your short-term project, that is, to immediately go all out to produce a book of martial arts written by you.

However, I am very much in favor of your desire to publish a journal focusing on martial arts and science fiction.

It's just that it's still the same sentence.

Our publishing house has just been established, everything has just begun, and everything needs to be stable.

In fact, I heard what you meant from your words, general manager, that is, you are very optimistic about the domestic martial arts market and think that martial arts can be sold, right? ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded subconsciously: "That's right." ”

"I think so too." Zhao Shouwen smiled.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Shouwen said with a straight face: "General manager, I personally think that you are now mispositioned!" ”

"Misplaced?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned slightly, "What do you mean?" ”

Zhao Shouwen said: "You confuse the position of an ordinary author who writes and submits books with the position of the general manager of the publishing house that publishes books.

That's right, you have a lot of things in your chest, and you want to write what you think and publish, and that's nothing.

But this kind of high-risk behavior like playing tickets seems to be done after our publishing house is on the right track and has the spare power, but it is by no means the time when it has just opened.

In other words, when you were an ordinary author, it was understandable that you wanted to write more and then submit it to others.

But now you're the general manager of a publishing house, and you're responsible for seeing which projects can make money from publishing, rather than thinking about writing your own book.

For example, the author of a book is like a soldier, as a soldier, he naturally has to ponder his personal martial arts so that he can fight the enemy face to face on the battlefield.

And the general manager of the publishing house is like a general, who doesn't need how good his martial arts are, what he needs is the ability to coordinate and command.

A high-ranking general ponders all day long to kill the enemy, and a front-line soldier ponders and directs a large corps all day long, both of which are not doing their job. ”

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled disapprovingly, and simply asked, "Then what is your so-called positive karma?" ”

Zhao Shouwen said: "We are a publishing house, what are the advantages of publishing houses? It lies in the fact that we have a book number and the power to issue publications.

In a sense, our publishing house is a factory, nothing more than a factory for the production of cultural works.

Since it is a factory that produces cultural works, it is necessary to choose which product sells more for money.

For example, the general manager, you said martial arts, this is a very good product.

As far as we are concerned, we don't need to create our own works at all, we just need to find the works of those very famous writers, and then use them directly, and print and publish them directly. ”

"Oh?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned slightly, "Let's talk about how to do it." ”

Zhao Shouwen smiled lightly: "General manager, do you know the "Wulin" magazine? ”

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Of course I know." ”

Zhao Shouwen also nodded and said, "It's good to know." ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Shouwen continued: "The magazine of martial arts was originally just a journal in Guangzhou that mainly introduced martial arts.

At the beginning, this journal was not very eye-catching, what was the reason why this inconspicuous martial arts journal suddenly became popular all over the country?

It is a martial arts called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" by serialization.

Although the magazine was later serialized, its popularity has risen by the serialization of this book, coupled with the martial arts craze, resulting in the magazine now selling more than three million copies, becoming the number one magazine in China in terms of circulation.

If they can do that, why can't we?

To tell you the truth, I have a manuscript of "Book of Swords and Enmity", a complete series of books of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and even Mr. Jin Yong's "Snow Mountain Flying Fox".

These books have all proven to be good enough to attract people to buy.

We have ISBNs, so we can rebind them into books and distribute them directly.

Or, in our newly established periodical, we will directly serialize the complete "Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", which has not yet been published in the mainland.

Why not publish this content and make a profit without losing money?

Wouldn't it be safer to wait for our publishing house to make money and get on the right track, and then publish your personal works by the general manager? ”

As soon as they heard this, many people below immediately couldn't help but buzz to each other, but the meaning of the words was to agree with Zhao Shouwen's statement.

After frowning for a while, Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand: "Be quiet, be quiet." ”

When everyone quieted down, Cao Zhiqiang looked at Zhao Shouwen with a serious face: "Comrade Zhao Shouwen, do you know what you are talking about?" ”

"Of course I do." Zhao Shouwen was stunned and said, "Is there a problem with what I said?" ”

"It's a big problem!" Cao Zhiqiang said, "You said that you want us to release Mr. Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Book of Swords and Enmity" and "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", right?" ”

"That's right." Zhao Shouwen nodded, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes and the Book of Swords and Enmity have actually been circulated in the inland of our country for a long time, but they are not widely circulated, and most of the manuscripts are incomplete.

The snow-capped mountain flying fox has not yet flowed in, but only circulates in a small part of Guangdong.

But to collect these, it is still not difficult for us.

We're going to put it together and publish it in our new journal, and it's going to be a hit.

When the journal becomes popular and famous, it will be much easier for us to find other people to ask for manuscripts to be received.

Of course, you don't need to ask someone else for a manuscript.

When our publishing house has money, we can directly send people to Xiangjiang to bring back the well-known martial arts in Xiangjiang, such as Mr. Jin Yong's, Mr. Gu Long's, and Mr. Liang Yusheng's martial arts, and then directly copy the simplified Chinese version.

Once these people's books are published, our publishing house will not have any risks, and it will definitely be developed! ”

"Don't rush to talk about that yet." Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand.

"If you do this, how do you calculate copyright?

Let's talk about Jin Yong's ancient dragon Liang Yusheng, do you know how high their copyright fees are now?

I can't afford to pay their royalties right now to get their books published! ”

Zhao Shouwen was stunned: "Copyright fees? Why should we pay them royalties? ”

Cao Zhiqiang was also stunned: "You, you don't want to give people copyright fees, just publish their books, right?" ”

"That's right." Zhao Shouwen nodded.

Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "This, isn't this piracy?" This, this is going to go terribly wrong! ”

"What's the big problem?" Zhao Shouwen asked.

"Sue us?" Cao Zhiqiang said, "What if Mr. Jin Yong and they know about it, sue us for piracy and infringement, and let us compensate for the damages?" ”

Zhao Shouwen looked at Cao Zhiqiang, then shook his head with a smile: "General manager, you, are you worried about this?" Are you worried that Jin Yong and those people will sue us for piracy and infringement because we publish theirs without authorization, and then ask us to compensate them? ”

"That's right!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Zhao Shouwen sighed: "General manager, what you said is ...... I don't even know how to answer you. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned and asked, "Do you have something to say?" ”

"I'll tell you." Yu Deli suddenly glared at Zhao Shouwen, "Zhao Shouwen, you don't have to say a few words first, you can say it!" You know a lot! ”

Zhao Shouwen was stunned: "Editor-in-chief, I actually ......"

Syllable!

Yu Deli suddenly slapped the table, and said angrily to Zhao Shouwen: "Shut up for me!" ”

After the other party was silent and silent, Yu Deli said to Zhao Shouwen with a blushing face: "Zhao Shouwen, what do you want to do?" Well?

How old is the general manager? He wasn't in our business before, so it's normal for him not to understand this business.

However, what's so great about being knowledgeable?

There are a lot of insiders who know the industry, but how many insiders have you seen who can open a publishing house at his age?

Therefore, the general manager can get a publishing house out of scratch, and all aspects are smooth, this is the ability of others!

And this ability, you and I can't do.

As for whether an expert is an expert or not, is that important?

Who is born to understand everything?

When you enter the industry and get in touch with it slowly, don't you slowly understand it?

However, it takes time and patience for the general manager to be knowledgeable.

Even if you want to remind the general manager, you must pay attention to the way and means.

For example, can't you talk to the general manager alone in private about these proposals?

Why do you have to talk to the general manager directly at this meeting?

Or do you think I don't know what you're talking about?

But why didn't I say anything about it before?

Am I inferior to you?

That's because I know the way and the way, and I know that even if I want to oppose it, I have to talk slowly in private.

You have to give our general manager a respect, respect, understand?

Now during the meeting, you directly contradict the general manager, so that the general manager can't get off the stage, so that everyone thinks that the general manager doesn't understand anything, which shows your ability?

I don't think you want to do it here, do you?

If you really want to do this, then our temple here is too small to accommodate your ......."

"Stop!" Cao Zhiqiang suddenly interrupted Yu Deli's words in time, "Don't say it!" ”

"General Manager!" Yu Deli looked at Cao Zhiqiang with a pale face, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I didn't control it strictly, so I did this kind of thing, don't worry, I'll let him roll up and get out of the way immediately, you can't want this kind of self-righteous guy here!" ”

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "I think that Xiao Zhao is very good, at least dare to speak." Could it be that my subordinates are all a bunch of sycophants? ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled kindly at the earth-colored Zhao Shouwen: "It's okay, Xiao Zhao, Lao Yu is joking with you, don't worry." ”

Zhao Shouwen laughed dryly: "Yes, yes!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Shouwen suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Cao Zhiqiang: "I'm sorry, general manager, it's me who thinks I ......."

"Stop!" Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "Can't you understand people?" Sit down! ”

was reprimanded by Cao Zhiqiang, Zhao Shouwen was fierce, and then sat down again, but sat straight.

Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand, and then said to Yu Deli: "Old Yu, look at you, you are scared of others." ”

Yu Deli frowned and said: "General manager, dignity and humility cannot be abolished, he doesn't give you face like this, where is your prestige?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "What prestige is not prestige, just a dozen people, what kind of condescension and humility, it's boring, it's too tiring to live." ”

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang reacted: "By the way, I was interrupted by Lao Yu, and I almost went off topic." ”

After clearing his throat, Cao Zhiqiang looked at Zhao Shouwen again, and said elegantly and easily:

"Xiao Zhao, don't be afraid.

You're right, I don't understand a lot of things, that's why I want to ask you.

You don't have to follow me to any way or any private advice.

I'm an impatient, and I don't have the time to do that.

There is something to say the most about my temper.

So, what about you, tell me the truth now.

If I listen to your words and directly pirate Mr. Jin Yong, if he sues us for infringement and asks us to compensate for the infringement fee, but we can't get it, what should we do? ”
