Chapter 093: Magazine
Two days ago, I went to the capital and signed a face-to-face interview, and I didn't wronged myself, unlike Zheng Shuming, who took the train back and forth overnight every time, and Suzhou and Hangzhou took a plane.
It still feels like a toss-up.
Finally, on the first weekend of April, I couldn't be free, so I was busy for a day on Saturday, and I rushed to Shangdu on Sunday.
Zhong Changlin asked Su Hang to help staff the follow-up of the 'Qingxu Cup'.
In the first three months, three editions of the registration form were sent in a row, and this month, it is considered to stop receiving manuscripts, and the rule is calculated according to the time of mailing, and March 31 is the deadline, and the manuscripts sent after that will be automatically eliminated.
The sales volume of "Qingxu" in the new month is expected to be stable at the million level, not to mention this, but the manuscript of this "Qingxu Cup", not counting the batch that is still on the road, has reached 3.2 million copies.
Shangdu.
In the headquarters of Boyi, Zhong Changlin is still in a spacious office that makes people feel magnificent at a glance.
The meeting with the "Qingxu" team ended, and I met with "Shanghai" again, and the time was already past 11 o'clock.
There's a dinner at noon, so I'm here for the time being.
Zhong Changlin lit a cigarette, watched the young man opposite sit down, and continued the previous topic: "Don't look at the current scenery of "Business Sea", everyone also understands that its prosperity is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden, wait for next year...... As soon as your "Gale" is over, you will return to its original form, I don't know if there will be 1 million copies by then, but "Qingxu" is now stable. ”
Su Hang held a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "There can be more than 10 million sales for more than a year, Uncle Zhong, you should be content, right?" ”
"How is it possible to be content?" Zhong Changlin didn't hide it in front of this junior, and said with a smile: "Moreover, even if I am content, it is impossible to be content, the situation is so good now, if I can't go down for this, when the time comes, from 10 million to 1 million, those guys who are already looking at me will probably jump out." ”
"If you really jump out, just let them have 1 million."
"You ......" Zhong Changlin smiled more: "Boy, I feel quite conflicted about you, occasionally sixteen or seventeen years old, and in the blink of an eye, it may be the same as us old guys." ”
Su Hang could only smile but not answer.
Zhong Changlin saw that the young man refused to express his position, so he could only take the initiative to say: "Okay, count me as an uncle, please beg you, Su Hang, next year...... Think about it ahead of time? ”
"There's really no way," Su Hang shook his head sincerely: "Or, the current 'comeback', there can be one or two more projects next year, but it is definitely not as attractive as Jiangdong Electronics, as for ...... Even if I write another one, it may not have the current influence, heh, I am just eating the dividends of my young age, because I am young, and if I do something, it is easy to attract attention. Next year, I'll be 18 years old. ”
Zhong Changlin almost choked himself with a puff of cigarette: "You said you were old when you were 18 years old, how can you let us live?" ”
"I'm different," Su Hang said with a smile: "Seriously, Uncle Zhong, I've seriously considered retiring at the age of 18." ”
Zhong Changlin: "......"
I've started to think very seriously about whether it's a hands-on thing.
This kid always makes people have the urge to beat him.
But......
Think about it again, this kid, 18 years old, will ...... next year I'm afraid I don't know much about my personal net worth.
Money that others may not be able to earn in dozens of lifetimes.
It's not an exaggeration to say retirement.
It's outrageous.
Thinking so, Zhong Changlin continued: "Then write "Gale" a little longer? ”
"It's planned, it's too lazy to write."
"You kid, do you really want to see me being found faulty?"
"It's enough for you not to find fault with others," Su Hang was very relaxed: "I know you can do it." ”
Seeing that someone's oil and salt didn't enter, Zhong Changlin didn't continue, this thing can't be used at every turn, not to mention, as a teenager said, even if it lasts for a year and a half, it should fall or fall.
After all, this sales volume was completely an accident.
An accident under a combination of multiple factors.
The accident has passed, the public's curiosity has cooled, and "Shanghai Sea" can only rely on its own hard power.
To put it simply, it's better to do more good things.
Since this matter is no fun, Zhong Changlin turned around: "By the way, I told you last time, the magazine edition number of the Department of Culture and Tourism, I asked recently, are you interested?" ”
"Interested, not interested."
"Don't be on the move."
"Uncle Zhong, no one urged you to take advantage of the current momentum to make a few more magazines?"
"Of course I did," Zhong Changlin said, "but ...... Hey, there's nothing to hide from you, lately, I just said that...... I myself admit that I don't lack wrists, but there are more people with red eyes. My position, not necessarily when, will really be taken away, anyway, I don't want to make wedding clothes for others. ”
I talked about this last year.
Now all walks of life are restructuring, but the publishing industry has not been opened up for the time being, and can only use some indirect means.
Moreover, indirect means are not very reliable.
In case it is done, or even if it is done too well, once others are red-eyed, it should be taken away or will be taken away.
If you don't do it, you'll be fine.
Thinking of this, Su Hang thought about it a little and said, "Frankly speaking, after you mentioned it last time, I have been thinking about it in private, but I really want to make two more magazines." ”
"Two books, or the one you mentioned in the first place, martial arts and fashion?"
"No, fashion can still be done," Su Hang shook his head, wanting to joke, you can find a beautiful woman to take photos, but inexplicably thought of Zhong Qiying, stopped in time, and continued: "In addition, Uncle Zhong, you know that I am very interested in seal carving now, so I plan to make a related magazine as well." ”
"Seal carving, this is too out of the way," Zhong Changlin shook his head, and said: "However, if you do it, it can also attract a lot of attention, and the sales volume of 100,000 is certain." ”
"It's not that old-school seal carving," Su Hang knew what the inherent impression in Zhong Changlin's mind was, and after a little consideration, he said: "It's a kind of young subversive new seal carving, and if I want to do it, I definitely don't focus on any seal carving techniques, seal carving archaeology, etc., I hope to combine more seal carving with literature." ”
Zhong Changlin was interested: "Tell me carefully? ”
"That's ......" Su Hang thought about it again and gestured in one direction: "For example, over there on Qiyun Road, my shop has been renovated, and I will go over to see it in the afternoon." Well, it's wrong, but the general idea is from there, in short, a seal, I hope to dig more into its humanistic atmosphere, and around the seal, write a smart article, or even one, something like this. ”
Zhong Changlin understood, thought about it a little, and nodded: "This ...... Yes, by the way, it still has to be focused, and it is better to be aimed at teenagers. ”
"Yes, it's still as young as possible," Su Hang said with a smile: "I originally planned to face teenagers, after all, those old men in the industry didn't plan to get in touch, and they would definitely think I was messing around." ”
"If you can make money, it's not a mess," Zhong Changlin said with a smile: "What's more, well, if you really do this, those old men can't keep up with what they want to follow." ”
The meaning of juvenile is obvious, and the seal carving magazine in the style of youth literature.
Zhong Changlin couldn't help but think of an article called "Earth Dog Heizi" last year, those old antiques, it is strange to be able to keep up.
The more he thought about it, the more interested he became, Zhong Changlin raised his hand and pointed at it, and then he was a little depressed.
At the foot of the wide boss's table, there was originally a large seal.
Now it's empty.
The daughter stole it, what can be done.
Well.
There is a way.
Looking for a son-in-law.
said and motioned to an empty seal box: "Boy, see this, that [fortunately even zai], Xiaoying stole it for me, you take the time to engrave another one for me, you want the same." ”
Su Hang looked over and also thought of some of the seals he had been stolen, many of which he liked very much.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and Su Hang nodded: "Okay, I'll take the time." ”
Zhong Changlin then returned to just now: "In this case, two editions, I will help you find two departments, and Boyi can also give you some convenience in the channel, well, that's it...... When the time comes, I'm afraid that someone will say that you are going to fly solo. ”
"Boyi is not a listed company," Su Hang said with a smile: "You can't still worry about the stock price, right?" ”
"It's not," Zhong Changlin shook his head: "I'm just worried that some guys will think that I broke up with you, so there is even more reason to do it." ”
"This, Uncle Zhong, you don't need to worry about it."
Zhong Changlin thought for a while, but said quickly: "Actually, it's okay to let them think that I have a gap with you, and if you go out and do it alone, no one will say anything." Moreover, with your current influence, even if you do it, it will not be easy for someone to take it away. Well, by the way, I have some ideas for you about that fashion magazine. ”
"What?"
"After you mentioned it, I have been paying attention to it," Zhong Changlin said: "The main profit method of this fashion magazine is advertising, heh, unless the magazine itself sells to a certain extent, just like "Shanghai Sea", well, this is not much to say, in short, when you arrive, you can separate the advertising business and set up a private agency, so that the magazine cannot be private in name, but its profit channel is in your hands, and others will grab it, and you can even directly change a version number. ”
After a little consideration, Su Hang had to admire it again.
This is called having a policy and a countermeasure.
The key is to follow the rules.
After all, since Zhong Changlin has mentioned it, there must have been people doing it, and it was tacitly acquiesced.
Thinking of this, Su Hang looked at Zhong Changlin: "Uncle Zhong, can "Shanghai" be restructured like this?" ”
"If it was a year ago, ......" Zhong Changlin shook his head, and shook his head again: "Heh, even if it was a year ago, it wouldn't work, unless I gave up my current position and went to sea." ”
Su Hang thinks about it.
No matter how the default rule is, if the peaches you want to pick are too big, you definitely can't do it.
In contrast, if you plant the seed yourself, grow it little by little, and eventually blossom and bear fruit, even if others know that you have borrowed someone else's orchard, they will recognize in your heart that you have some kind of ownership of the fruit tree.
"Uncle Zhong, if you can't do it, well, I can bring Sister Qiying."
"No, I can't tell if I bring her," Zhong Changlin was very relieved to hear that a certain teenager could think of his daughter, but shook his head: "Moreover, you have given her 20% of the shares of sildenafil, which is worth much more than a copy of "Shanghai". ”
"If you want to make a fashion magazine, you must collect all kinds of fashion information from overseas."
"Then you should open your mouth, it's not bad to let that Nizi get in touch with fashion more, so as not to really become a nerd," Zhong Changlin said: "Don't talk about anything else, she is your sister, it's not a matter of course for you to ask her to do something." ”
This......
It also makes sense.
It's settled.
Zhong Changlin followed and said, "By the way, have you applied for your visa?" ”
"It's done," Su Hang said, "I'll go with my dad." ”
Regarding rushing to the United States to attend Yahoo's IPO ceremony, Su Hang's initial consideration was to take a female secretary or something, and set off.
Then, his father insisted on following, saying that he was not at ease.
Su Hang realized again at that time, oh, he had just passed his 17th birthday, and his parents were inevitably worried about traveling thousands of miles, not to mention the thousands of miles away from the vast sea.
Since my father said it, let's go.
In addition, my mother also went with me to see the world, as well as other people around me, and went to whatever I wanted.
The expenses were all reimbursed by the rich man Su.
Then, he was scolded by Zheng Shuming.
When I was shopping in my own country, I just went as soon as I said I would, and I went in groups.
U.S. visas are not so easy to get, let alone expedited.
Then came the news from the United States.
Because it was Yahoo's invitation, of course, the other side had to bear the related costs. However, Yahoo was not at all generous, and only gave two places.
Yahoo's reimbursement of expenses Su Hangzhou doesn't matter, you can't pay for it yourself.
However, behind the two reimbursement places, even Yahoo only gave two business visa assistance places.
That is to say, apply for a visa here, and help cooperate there.
But, there are only two of them.
If you want to bring three, four, five, six, seven, or eight people...... Hey kid, you've got a problem!
Su Hang also knows that even after more than ten or twenty years, Lao Mei is afraid that foreigners will go to their country, so they will directly rely there, this kind of thing, this kind of thing is more frequent in this era, and when it comes, they will not leave, and they will be blacked out, and no one can find it.
If the number of people Suzhou and Hangzhou want to bring does not match the information provided by Yahoo, let alone use Zheng Shuming's channels to help expedite, it is more likely that it will not be possible at all.
Although it can be coordinated, Su Hang is too lazy to toss.
Two is two.
At the moment, there is nothing to hide from Zhong Changlin.
Yahoo's IPO time is next Friday, and the plan is to leave next Wednesday, and as soon as the IPO is over, I will come back quickly and not delay next week's class.
In the final analysis, even if you haven't really been there in your previous life, you should know what you should know, and Suzhou and Hangzhou also know. Therefore, Suzhou and Hangzhou do not have the feeling that many people look up to 'paradise' in this era, and for New York, what comes to mind more is the potholed pavement of Fifth Avenue.
