Chapter 1885 Tianxia Book Company Temporal Lily
But the first release also needs to be discussed. First of all, the publisher and book company agree, because both Han Han and Guo Jinming signed the contract, and they are only responsible for writing books, and distribution is the matter of the book company and the publisher.
Guo Jinming is in Shanghai, closest to Hangzhou, so Cai went to Shanghai from the first stop to Shanghai to talk to Guo Jinming first. If he agrees, the next thing will be easier.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Cai Congxin arrived at Guo Jinming's studio.
The front desk was a ponytail girl in her early 20s. She was purely natural and could not see any flaws even if the sun shone on her face. Cai Congxin sighed sincerely - this skin is really good.
I made an appointment through Baba Company before coming, so I soon met Guo Jinming.
Guo Jinming is 22 years old. He is thin, short and has very white skin, but he doesn't know if it's because of staying up late.
"Hello, I am Cai Congxin from Baba Company."
After the two of them finished the ceremony, they quickly got to the point.
Cai Congxin said his thoughts: "As the Internet becomes more and more developed, traditional book sales will also break the balance."
When he was in Citigroup, Cai Congxin downloaded e-books from Amazon, which was much cheaper than buying books.
That's why he dared to make such a bold prediction.
Guo Jinming was stunned for a moment. What did this opening remark mean?
"I hope to hear it carefully!" Guo Jinming said.
Cai Congxin continued to say that buying books online has emerged abroad, and the sales of online books are rising steadily and increasing every year. Now Baba Company has opened a book sector, inviting bookmakers to enter, and specially invited well-known writers like Guo Jinming to enter. If Guo Jinming enters, Baba Company will do its best to help sell Guo Jinming's books. In this way, Guo Jinming's income will increase a lot. Baba Company will give Guo Jinming another 500,000 yuan in settlement fee every year, but Guo Jinming needs to hold three Baba book friends meetings every year.
Cai Congxin said a lot.
Half an hour later, Guo Jinming said: "I basically understand what Mr. Cai said, "I just want me to cooperate with your company, and you help me sell my books and expand my reputation."
"Yes, that's what it means."
"Online shopping is indeed a fashionable thing, I'm very interested, but what I said doesn't count. I have a contract with Tianxia Book Company, and my books are all distributed by Tianxia Book Company."
"Then can you tell your boss? I believe your boss will agree, because this is a win-win situation, so why not do it?"
Guo Jinming's expression suddenly became dark clouds.
Cai Congxin's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he had a bad relationship with his boss? Why didn't he terminate the contract if he was very bad?
With Guo Jinming's current reputation, he can open a book studio or find a large book company, so why is he attached to a small book company?
Before coming, Cai Congxin had already checked the information, but after reading the information, it felt quite strange.
"You should discuss the matters in the distribution with Tianxia Book Company, I have no right to inquire about it."
"Okay! I'll talk to you after we've got a talk with Tianxia Book."
"Can."
Cai Congxin had no choice but to turn around and look for Tianxia Book Company.
At 2 pm, Zhao Tianxia, the owner of the book company, received Cai Congxin.
Cai Congxin's first glance at Zhao Tianxia was a little excited.
Damn, this guy looks so much like a traitor.
Zhao Tianxia had bean eyes, two-parted heads, and buck teeth. He had a friendly smile, but he looked like a treacherous smile.
"Please sit down, please sit down!" Zhao Tianxia politely gave up.
After a few greetings, Cai Chongxin got to the topic and spent a few minutes explaining the purpose of the visit, Zhao Tianxia's face froze.
"Mr. Zhao, this is a win-win situation. If you think the first release is not good, we can change it to the first release of the online and bookstores. These are two different tracks and will not have any impact. I guarantee that online sales of books will not be worse than store sales."
Zhao Tianxia's eyes became cold, and it was the kind of cold that had dropped sharply. Ice slag could fall out of his eyes, which made Cai Congxin confused.
"Mr. Cai, I thought you were going to talk about what business you were going to say. Sorry, I'm not interested in online sales, please go back." Zhao Tianxia refused.
"Mr. Zhao..." Cai Congxin was surprised. There was no reason to refuse. "If you think about it carefully, this is a win-win situation."
"My sales model is already very mature. I still have more than 30 dealers under it, so it will be very troublesome to do online sales pricing."
There are pricing at the back of books, but most books will be a little more expensive than the pricing. This is the benefit of book dealers. Dealers are also divided into first-level agents, second-level agents, and third-level agents.
For example, if a book company gets manuscripts from the author and prints them out, the cost of a book is 8 yuan, and the price is 15 yuan for the first-level distributor, and the book company makes 7 yuan; if a first-level distributor gives a second-level distributor, it makes 3 yuan; if a second-level distributor gives a third-level distributor 19 yuan, the third-level distributor can only make 1 yuan. Don’t look at a small amount, but it is quite a lot. At least millions of books a year have to be distributed, even a third-level distributor can make millions of dollars.
This is a chain of interests.
Zhao Tianxia does not want to break the interest chain that has been in business for many years. If he skips dealers to sell books online, it will affect the pricing and sales of level 123 dealers.
That is to say, it will break the order.
After listening to it, Cai Congxin said, "Mr. Zhao, I understand your meaning, but online shopping is the general trend. There will be e-books in the future. Do you know Amazon, which is also an e-commerce company. What they mainly do is e-books. The era of paper media will pass. It is better to settle in the platform now and open an online bookstore first. When the time is ripe, you can convert all your books into e-books and sell them. This is another huge income."
Cai Congxin explained with great thought and took out a piece of data. The sales of Yanxia books fell year by year, while the number of netizens increased year by year.
Several online literature websites have appeared on the Internet, the largest of which is "Under the Banyan Tree", and the main one is modern romance.
Online literature had not yet emerged at that time.
I have said a lot, but I just want to express that it is time for you to transform, and the traditional sales model will collapse one day.
But Zhao Tianxia just couldn't listen.
This made Cai Congxin anxious. He gave another example: "Mr. Zhao, we used to use video recorders to watch movies, and then VCD. Now we download them online without spending money. The world is changing with each passing day. The final result is destruction. It is better to cooperate with Baba Company and settle in our company. We will give you the best service."
Zhao Tianxia was already irritated when he heard this. He suddenly slapped the table and said loudly: "You are nothing more than a few writers under my jurisdiction. You want to use their popularity to increase the popularity of your company. Don't pretend to be a savior in front of me, get out!"
