Chapter 142: Mr. Pu fed the rice to his mouth 8/118
Meng Xingkong asked eagerly: "Then... what about the third article! What is the true meaning of the third article!"
Xiaoxing took a deep breath...
The light of wisdom shone in his eyes. At this moment, he only wished that he didn't know how to smoke, otherwise he would be like the editor-in-chief and say the most shocking conclusion surrounded by smoke.
Reveal the secret of Pu Ding’s operating methods!
"The third article, Mr. Pu said that we are not allowed to find old authors, but we need to find new ones, and formulate some contracts to restrict authors."
"This one... is extremely confusing! It is more difficult to analyze than the trap question in the second one. Even I... almost fell into the ordinary solution when I first heard it. Just now, I chewed it over and over again.
Mr. Pu's eyes, posture, and accent when he said this sentence, and after reading these words several times... I finally understood the true meaning."
Meng Xingkong sat upright: "Please enlighten me."
"First of all, is the newcomer that Mr. Pu is talking about...a novice who has never written a book and has extremely poor writing skills?"
"Based on the first two items, it's obviously not the case! Such people should be screened out in the second item."
"Then what Mr. Pu said about old authors and newcomers, how to distinguish this concept? Is an author who has written an unsigned book considered an old author? Is an author who has written a guaranteed book but failed to be considered an old author? Can he be considered an old author at Qidian?
Are the 100-subscriber authors who have signed a contract and have perfect attendance on the shelves considered old authors? These are not counted! In Mr. Pu’s eyes, their achievements are the same, so these also fall into the category of newcomers.”
"The old author Mr. Pu mentioned also gave the answer in the following words, that is... the old oil man who moves between multiple studios, playing everywhere and writing books! They are not worthy of trust.
, and we shouldn’t waste money and time training these people.”
"At the same time, in order to prevent the 'newcomers' we have discovered from becoming such old guys, we need to formulate contracts to bind them. In this regard, our company is uniquely endowed. It is much better than those unqualified studios. We can use the company's name to
Sign a formal contract with the author to prevent them from jumping back and forth. Mr. Pu is telling us that we must be on guard against others..."
"Hey~ I see! I actually understood at first that Mr. Pu wanted to find pure newcomers to write books and train them from scratch. I almost thought wrong! Fortunately, I have you, editor Xiaoxing!"
Meng Xingkong secretly rejoiced that he did not make random guesses, but asked Xiaoxing, the person in the company who knew Mr. Pu best.
Otherwise... Pu will always be disappointed with him!
Little Star waved her hand.
"Brother Meng, there's no need to talk about this. We are partners now, so we naturally have to advance and retreat together. My news is always open to you!"
"Good brother! With you, I feel much more at ease!"
The relationship between the two heated up rapidly.
Xiaoxing continued: "So, based on everything I just heard in Mr. Pu's office, I summed up a set of tactics that best suit Mr. Pu's wishes."
"We first recruit authors online by casting a wide net, and spend a sum of money in the early stage to win people's hearts, let them spread the word of mouth, expand our author pool, and then select newcomers with excellent character, works, and potential.
'Authors, sign a contract with them and become the first batch of writers in our Duoyu Company. Then we will start training them to learn Mr. Pu's writing style, find out the topics that may become hits, and then start writing!"
"Snap, snap, snap!"
Meng Xingkong couldn't help but applaud Xiaoxing.
This precise analysis would be impossible if I had not worked with Mr. Pu for a year.
"Now that Mr. Pu's guidance line has been clear...then we can get started. I am confident this time!"
"Mr. Pu has already put food into our mouths. If we still can't do it, we might as well move bricks."
The two of them are very motivated.
There is nothing in my mind, just two words: struggle.
Currently, Duoyu Company has 21 employees.
In addition to 2 administrative staff, 1 front desk staff, and 2 financial staff, Meng Xingkong and Xiaoxing also have 14 editors.
They are all intermittent gangsters who seem to be quite honest.
Simply because my body is currently in an exciting stage, it is easy to mobilize enthusiasm.
Everyone turned on their 12th generation i7 dual-screen computers and got to work.
As expected, Meng Xingkong has opened a studio himself and is very familiar with this set of things.
Especially since he still has a lot of online editing resources accumulated in the past, which can bring him many new authors.
The so-called Internet editor refers to the pimp in the Internet literary world.
Their identities are changeable. One day they may be editors of Hengsheng Chinese website, and tomorrow they will be editors of Feilu.com. If the author is really weak and cannot pass the manuscript after trying several websites, they will directly transform themselves into studio editors and replace the newcomers.
Throw it to a studio with lower requirements in exchange for some reward.
These authors are second-hand authors who have been screened by the online editor, and there are also first-hand authors who have not been screened. They need the same money from the studio as the website to get them.
Meng Xingkong happened to have some such resources.
"The new authors Mr. Pu mentioned... should be those who have potential and can be cultivated. Those who can only write impulsive articles of poor quality are not considered..."
After Xiaoxing explained everything to him, he was able to operate it like a duck to water and felt that every link had been planned by Mr. Pu.
Xiaoxing is not only a review editor, but also a pricing editor. She is responsible for pricing an article and then posting it to the website.
Usually after the website sets the minimum/buyout price, they will set a lower price for newcomers.
Now, it’s different!
As long as Xiaoxing sees that the quality of the article is acceptable, he will sign up for all the small websites.
The price is based on the highest market price for newcomers, which is 15 yuan per thousand words, and then settled at a premium of 1/3.
20 yuan for 1,000 words!
"Duoyu Studio, 20 per thousand words, real price, no discount once the manuscript is approved, no bully, welcome to submit!"
Once this price was posted to various websites where street writers wandered around, the effect was great!
Better than web editors and guides!
The WeChat accounts of the seven review editors in the office were all blocked, and submissions appeared one after another in their mailboxes.
There are all kinds of things, weird things, and shit hidden in the sugar.
Their workload increased immediately.
But everyone works very enthusiastically. After all, with such a high salary and such good conditions, if you don’t work hard, who is still a human being? How can you be worthy of Mr. Pu!
Meng Xingchen, along with seven other channel editors, continuously posted their recruitment information on the website, which was popular in major forums, post bars, and author exchange groups.
For a newcomer, the price is 20 per thousand words. It’s like Pan Jinlian who took sex pills. When she saw the burly brother Wu Song, she wanted to go up and lick him directly.
It’s so fragrant!
Editors from 7 channels are recruiting people like crazy and casting a net in the sea.
7 review editors review manuscripts like crazy and make gold out of shit.
Xiaoxing makes the final pricing and site selection.
As long as it was similar, he signed it.
If you have big ideas and a fast pace, go to Feilu Chinese website. If you have a slow pace and good writing, go to Qidian. For the son-in-law Longwang Wentou, go to the recently launched small website that specializes in channels. For the second dimension, go to Hedgehog Dog. For Danmei, go to Jinjiang.
literature......
Xiaoxing has considerable professional knowledge and can tell which website this article is more suitable for, and which website is more likely to produce results.
This kind of judgment is not possessed by new authors. Many of them cannot sign contracts, and they may just invest in the wrong place...
Of course, if the writing and plot are good, I’d still go for Qidian Shengdao.
While busy.
Meng Xingkong repeatedly chewed on Mr. Pu’s strategy this time.
"All our initial actions are to find loyal authors with character and potential. If there are already, can we directly enter the next stage..."
