After chatting with Wu Xinping for a while, he checked that the time was almost up and went to his office with Wu Xinping.

The office layout is pretty good and elegant.

After all, Wu Xinping is a famous artist, his aesthetic ability is not a problem, and the carefully decorated room is naturally not bad.

When Zhang Junping and Wu Xinping entered the office, the leadership team of the art company had already arrived.

Nowadays, art companies have a lot of management people, and there are still a few people they don't know.

Zhang Junping gave in humbly, letting Wu Xinping take the main seat, and took the first position next to him.

“During this period, I have been helping the city government and receiving the Prussian inspection team.

Thank you all for the hard work at home.

I just saw some new faces.

Would you like to introduce yourself first?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Hello, Manager Zhang! I am the editor-in-chief of BJ Art Store magazine, and my name is Lu Zhaode."

"Hello, Manager Zhang! I am the deputy editor-in-chief of BJ Art Store magazine, and my name is Xue Xiaohong."

"Hello, Manager Zhang! I am the editor-in-chief of the Chinese Traditional Art Appreciation Magazine, and my name is Lou Xinying."

"Hello, Manager Zhang, I am the deputy editor-in-chief of the Chinese Traditional Art Appreciation Magazine, and my name is Shi Zhengjie."

Four strangers stood up one after another and introduced themselves.

Cao Xiangqian was really generous. Originally, Zhang Junping wanted to run two magazines with one team.

As a result, they assigned two teams directly.

Moreover, the two teams are composed of men and women.

"You all probably know me or have heard of me, so I won't introduce myself.

Mr. Lu, Mr. Floor, let’s start with you! Tell us about your preparations during this period.” Zhang Junping looked at the four chief and deputy chief editors and said with a smile.

"Manager, we just came here, Director Cao only told us the name of the magazine, but did not tell us the specific purpose and ideas.

Therefore, during this period of time, we only contacted a few editors through our previous relationships." After Lu Zhaode and Lou Xinying looked at each other, Lu Zhaode said.

"I understand! During this period, I was busy and didn't have time to communicate with you. I don't blame you!

The purpose of the magazine is very simple, which is to cooperate with art companies to promote artworks and artists.

I don’t require you to make a profit for either magazine, and I will support you with funding every year based on the circulation.

I have only one request. These two magazines are not only popular in China, but also sell well overseas. They must be published in Cantonese, English, French and Japanese.

Our magazines must be screen-printed on the best coated paper, and they will be the most exquisite magazines in the world.

We are all engaged in art, and the magazine we publish is not just a magazine, it should leave readers with a sensory experience as if they are appreciating a work of art.

Therefore, you have to find the best and top photographers in the country and use the top photography equipment.

Mr. Lu, Mr. Lou, Mr. Xue, Mr. Shi, can you understand what I say?

Now you know what to do next?”

"Understood!" The four people nodded in unison.

If they still don't understand, then there's no need for them to do it.

"Secretary Liu is here. You can ask Secretary Liu for more advice, publish some celebrity biographies, or ask famous domestic artists to write articles for our magazine.

There are so many works of art in the Palace Museum. In my opinion, every piece of art tells a beautiful story.

All you have to do is tell these artworks and the stories behind them well.

Only in this way can readers be attracted.

As for how to tell the story behind the artwork more excitingly, that is your editor's business.

If you want money, I will give it to you! If you want people, I will give you authority. You can figure out what kind of person you want to find.

If it still can't be done well, then it's a matter of ability." Zhang Junping had a faint smile on his face, but his aura was full, making everyone in the conference room feel breathless.

"Understood! Thank you manager for your support. We will work hard to run the magazine well!" The four people stood up and solemnly promised.

"I will not listen to your guarantee. I will give you two months. After two months, I will see the sample issue!

Lao Lu, go back and rearrange them, one for the magazine and one for the warehouse. The place is bigger and easier to use."

"I know, manager!" Lu Guozhong agreed quickly.

"Okay! That's all about the magazine.

Next, Minister Chen, please tell us about the situation of your business development department during this period!"

"Yes, manager! During this time, we have been continuing to purchase calligraphy and paintings in the painting shop.

A total of 138 works by famous artists were collected.

There are 869 works by well-known young artists.

In addition, we also contacted famous artists from other places through the relationship between Xinhua Bookstore and collected a total of 2,367 works by famous artists from other places.

There are more than 24,500 works by well-known young artists."

"Yeah! Not bad!

It’s very good that you can proactively contact and acquire works from foreign artists.

Our sights cannot be limited to BJ.

BJ said it is small. As a capital city with a population of several million, it is indeed not small.

But when it comes to big things, it is just a city with a population of several million, which is just a drop in the ocean when put into a population of 100,000,000.

Therefore, our sight must not be limited to BJ.

Minister Chen deserves praise for this." Zhang Junping affirmed with a smile.

Then, Zhang Junping called the names one by one and asked about the situation of each department.

In fact, he can know these situations just by asking someone to find out about them.

However, Zhang Junping still asked the heads of various departments to report in person.

It is to put pressure on them and let them know what they value.

After the meeting, Zhang Junping left Chen Lijun alone.

"Sister Chen, the focus of your work must change in the next step.

We can no longer focus on how many paintings we collect." Zhang Junping made Chen Lijun a cup of tea and said with a smile.

"Manager, tell me what to do!"

“The next step is to sign the contract.

Find out those young artists with potential, sign contracts with them, and carry out key training.

As long as you sign a contract with our art company, you can become our contracted artist.

You can enjoy certain benefits.

For example, as long as you submit one piece of work every month, you can get a full attendance subsidy, which is based on the salary of a full-time department cadre.

As the status of contracted artists increases, our full attendance subsidy will continue to increase.

A rating can be given based on the market's recognition of the signed artist.

For example, level one, level two, level three, level four, five, six, seven, eight or nine.

Level one is the lowest and level nine is the highest.

The full attendance subsidy for the first level refers to the level of a principal, the second level of a deputy department, the third level of a full department, and so on.

In addition, we no longer implement the buyout policy for all works of contracted artists.

But divided!

On a 50-50 basis, if a work sells for 10,000 yuan, we will pay 5,000 yuan, and the artist will get 5,000 yuan.

We must make it clear to them that for these 5,000 yuan, we have to bear the costs of publicity, operation, management, etc. for the artist and the work.

This cost accounts for about 35%.

In fact, after a work is sold, we can only get about 15% profit.

The author gets 50%.

Of course, this 50% has to be paid tax!

Taxes are paid according to the laws of the country where the transaction is made.

The tax will be paid by our company. After the tax is deducted, the remaining money will be transferred to the account designated by the author." After Zhang Junping said these words, he stopped and waited for Chen Lijun to digest what he said.

He took a sip of tea and then continued: "What I just said are the rights of contracted artists.

When you enjoy rights, you must also pay obligations.
To be continued...
