218 I sell it with sheep's head and dog meat

After having breakfast at a roadside stall, Cao Zhiqiang played three rounds of personal strength and went directly to Hongguang Publishing House.

No way, now except for the publishing house, it is not very convenient to go anywhere else.

After coming to the publishing house, I found that there were only two people in the entire publishing house, one was Niu Shufen, who was an accountant and human resources, and the other was Tian Huifen, a cashier and administrator.

Niu Shufen didn't say it, it was the original Sister Niu, who was nearly fifty years old and belonged to the veteran faction of Hongguang Machinery Factory.

Tian Huifen was hired by Yu Deli, who is only 27 years old this year, and previously worked in a bookbinding factory, which is considered a new talent.

This kind of distribution is actually quite normal, after all, the accountant and the cashier cannot be the same person, this is the rule.

No matter how small the scale of Hongguang Publishing House is, it still has a national name, and everything has to be done according to the rules.

Of course, it is precisely because the temple is so small that many people wear many hats.

For example, Sister Niu, her main business is an accountant who manages money, but she also has to manage personnel.

When I'm busy, I have to help with manuscript review.

and Tian Huifen, whose main job is cashiering, but she also has to be responsible for internal administrative matters.

For example, pouring tea and water, buying office supplies, and paying wages and benefits.

Even when she's busy, she has to help with illustrations.

That's right, this Tian Huifen was originally from an art background, and she painted a good hand.

is not only Tian Huifen, but also the old Qian who also belongs to the old school, is also very good at drawing illustrations.

In this, Sister Niu was originally an accountant, and Tian Huifen made a cashier, but she was actually chasing ducks to the shelves.

Because when Yu Deli recruited people, he was looking for professionals in the industry, either editors or artists, and none of them had worked as accountants and cashiers.

The accountant said that Niu Shufen could continue to work, and she was willing to continue to exert her spare heat.

After all, according to Niu Shufen, it is more comfortable to come to work to drink tea and read newspapers and knit sweaters, if she stays at home, she has to do this and that to serve people, too tired.

This is actually not wrong, because just look at the women in the courtyard who don't go to work, such as Qin Huairu and the third aunt.

In this day and age, if a woman does not go to work, it is impossible to be idle, but it means more tired, because she has to take care of the housework of the whole family, which is more tiring than going to work, and it is not pleasing to him.

But if a woman goes to work, the housework can be shared, and no one can say anything.

For some, it's not just a question of economics, it's also a matter of customs.

You are like Niu Shufen, even if she doesn't go to work, she has money, and she is said to have a certain economic status, but so what?

As a woman, if she doesn't go to work now, she still has to do housework at home, otherwise she will be pointed at by her children, relatives and neighbors, and she will be regarded as a lazy woman.

This also explains why Niu Shufen could not go to work all day before, but she is still the most diligent one at work, and the reason is here.

It's so cool to go to work.

Of course, this also varies from person to person, and different families have different situations, so they cannot be generalized.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang wanted Sister Niu to work part-time as a cashier, but he was unanimously opposed, including Sister Niu.

Because the accountant and the cashier cannot be alone, this is a matter of principle.

So in the end, Tian Huifen was chosen as the cashier.

chose her as a cashier because she is shy and responsible, she is a local, she is better at settling accounts, and she likes to be more serious.

Of course, this is all said by Yu Deli, but Cao Zhiqiang thinks there is no problem.

Again, everything in the current publishing house is the first to be established, and the accounts are clear at a glance, and it is difficult to cheat.

And at this time, people are relatively more simple, and they will not commit crimes easily, because the cost of crime is too high.

The most important thing is that the actual financial power is actually in the hands of Cao Zhiqiang.

The publishing house spends money, and Cao Zhiqiang basically specifies the major policies first, and then Yu Deli formulates a specific plan, including how much money to spend.

Next, Yu Deli showed the specific plan to Cao Zhiqiang, and after Cao Zhiqiang signed it, he handed it over to Sister Niu to do the accounting, and Sister Niu stamped it here, and then went to the cashier to get the money.

Specifically, it is the printing cost and public relations cost of the two books "Jianghu Xing" and "Broken Void".

These accounts are all clear, Cao Zhiqiang himself is clear, and there is no room for fraud.

"Yo, Manager Cao, why are you here so early today?"

It was Niu Shufen who took the initiative to greet Cao Zhiqiang, after all, with her age and qualifications, she could indeed speak in this tone.

"Sister Niu laughed." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "It's not that there has been something wrong with book sales recently, I'm worried that something will happen, so I'm going to take a look." ”

"Something? Didn't you say that the sales were good? What else could have happened? Niu Shufen asked while knitting a sweater.

Obviously, Niu Shufen did not know about the problem of selling at Xinhua Bookstore yesterday, nor did she know that Hongguang Machinery Factory urgently sent ten trucks to transport goods and replenish the goods, and then sold books along the local streets.

This is also normal, because Cao Zhiqiang was in charge of the overall situation in Xinhua Bookstore at the beginning, including later calling people to replenish the goods, and he also called Director Li of the machinery factory first, and then directly picked up the goods from the warehouse of the factory's printing office through Director Li.

During the whole process, no one notified the headquarters of Hongguang Publishing House, so the left-behind personnel such as Sister Niu did not know about this, which was normal.

As soon as he heard Sister Niu's words, Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, simply sat down opposite her, and told her what happened yesterday.

"That's the way it is, now you know what's going on, Sister Niu?"

Sister Niu nodded: "So that's the case, it's no wonder!" No wonder writers' publishing houses are going to do that. ”

"What's the wonder?" Cao Zhiqiang asked subconsciously.

"You don't know yet?" Sister Niu smiled, "As for your original poetry collection, I mean your original owner, does the writer's publishing house know?"

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "My first pot of gold basically relied on the Writers Publishing House...... No, what the hell are you talking about, what is it about the writer's publishing house? ”

Sister Niu smiled, continued to knit a sweater and said: "That's the case, my family's mouth, and the vice president of the Writers Publishing House, Lao Lu, is very familiar, last night he came to my house to play chess with my mouth, during which I listened to the old Lu said, the Writers Publishing House reprinted." ”

"Again? What to print? ”

After saying this, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly thought of something: "You mean, the writer's publishing house has reprinted my poetry collection, that is, the book "The World's Farthest Distance"? ”

"That's it." Sister Niu said with a smile, "Originally, their third edition had not been sold out yet, but seeing that the new version of our poetry collection "Jianghu Xing" was selling so well, they also wanted to make a fortune, so they printed another two million copies, which is a big deal." ”

Speaking of this, Sister Niu pouted: "Hmph, this is to see us make money, and want to grab business from us, it's too shameless."

By the way, I was about to tell you about this, why don't you go and say hello to them first and tell them not to do this?

It's disgusting. ”

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, and then laughed: "Sister Niu, don't worry, they like to print, then it's printed, how much love is printed, anyway, I have a share in that book, they sell more, and I share more." ”

"It's not." Sister Niu said, "Aren't you worried that they will steal business with us?" ”

"Stealing business? How can it be. Cao Zhiqiang smiled and shook his head.

"Sister Niu, don't you really think that our set of "Jianghu Xing" sells poetry collections, right?

Or, you don't really think that our set of "Jianghu Xing" can sell so well, relying on those poems, right? ”

"What do you mean?" Niu Shufen put down her sweater and asked, "Don't guess the riddle with me, tell me the answer quickly." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Sister Niu, our set of books is nominally to sell my poetry collection, but in fact, it is to sell the attached martial arts "Broken Void".

The reason why they were sold together at the beginning was mainly to use the fame of my pen name to reduce the risk of issuance.

But in fact, poetry is a very niche thing, and even if it is well written, the audience is very limited.

Anyway, if it was really a pure sale of poetry, my set of "Jianghu Xing" would never have become what it is today.

If it was really so popular, the original book "The World's Farthest Distance", which was not very different, could do it.

But in fact, although the original book "The Furthest Distance in the World" was a hot seller, it simply couldn't do the current hot situation.

At the beginning, the poetry collection relied on the connections of the writer's publishing house and the use of the national distribution channel to achieve a circulation of hundreds of thousands, but there was not a large number of second-hand dealers.

But now our set of "Jianghu Xing", just in the city of Beiping, is already in short supply, and there are people queuing up to buy books everywhere, let alone other places.

Judging from the feedback from the market, the hot scene of our set of "Jianghu Xing" far exceeds the original book "The Farthest Distance in the World".

The question is, the poetry collection "Distance" has been released for so long, and the popularity has begun to decline, there is no reason for us to reissue it, and at most ten new poems have been added, and it will become like this, right?

After all, as I said, poetry poetry has a small audience, and there are not many audiences.

So, what really makes our products popular and makes everyone flock to them is the book "Broken Void".

Only this kind of martial arts that is appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar can be loved by all ages, and can there be a wider market and such a high enthusiasm.

In other words, even if we don't sell the remastered poetry collection of "Jianghu Xing", we simply sell the martial arts book "Broken Void", which can still be popular, but the time of popularity will be a little slower and later.

The reason why I agreed to bundle the sale before was that in addition to actually borrowing the fame of my pen name, another point was to think about everyone's psychology.

You see, although martial arts is very popular in today's country, it is not elegant after all, and it is not favored by mainstream literature.

On the contrary, it is poetry, which is now a proper number one card, the noblest existence.

Poetry and martial arts, that is a sky, an earth.

If a person goes to buy martial arts, he may feel faceless and afraid of being talked about.

But if a person is going to buy a poetry collection, it must be very face-saving, and everyone will boast that he is knowledgeable and has connotation.

So, I tied up the noble poetry collection with the unpopular martial arts, and mainly sold poetry collections, but in fact, I carried a martial arts book.

In this way, others will have a lot of face when they buy a poetry book, and at the same time, they can also get a good-looking martial arts.

You won't be looked down upon, and you can watch it more refreshingly, so why not? ”

"I'll tell you." Sister Niu smiled, "Feelings, are you selling dog meat on a sheep's head?" ”

"Don't say it so ugly." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "I can't say that I sell dog meat with a sheep's head, I can only say that I sell dog meat with a sheep's head, there are poems, and there are both elegance and vulgarity." ”

"I see." Sister Niu nodded, "In other words, the main problem why our set of "Jianghu Xing" is so popular is not in that set of poems, but in that set of gifts, that is, the "Broken Void"? ”

"That's right!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile.

"That's right." Sister Niu smiled, "In this way, the Writer's Publishing House is going to make a mistake this time."

They thought it was your poetry book that became popular again, but they didn't know that there was actually another book on fire.

Everyone rushed to the martial arts book that came with it, not the poetry book.

Oh, you're hurting a lot! ”

"I can't say that." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "The quality of my poetry book is still guaranteed, not to mention, they have made a lot of money before, and the loss is not enough." ”

As soon as he said this, he heard the phone ring suddenly.

Niu Shufen was stunned, put down her sweater, and went over to pick up the phone: "Hey, Hongguang Publishing House, who are you looking for?" Ah, oh, yes, in! ”

Speaking of this, Niu Shufen covered the receiver of the phone and said to Cao Zhiqiang: "Manager, looking for you!" It's from the factory printing office! ”
