After a round of recruitment, the number expanded to 70 people.
35 old employees and 35 college students who have not graduated or have just graduated.
After this month of running in, the newcomers have been able to get started with various tasks. Although they are a bit unfamiliar, the manpower is sufficient and most of the time they can complete the daily work without working overtime.
After the website department was expanded, the focus of work shifted to the new website.
The 1,000 authors under him began to publish their books on the Zhongshan Novel website one after another.
At this time, the cooperation model of both parties changed.
It is no longer the case that the studio accepts assignments, collectively develops new themes, and then shares the profits from the novels.
Instead, it is changed to the relationship between the author and the website.
Most of them are guaranteed contracts.
A guaranteed price will be given based on the performance of the previous book and the quality of the new book. If the manuscript fee for the book exceeds the guaranteed price, half of the extra money will be given to the author.
The advantage of this is that authors don’t have to worry about the operation of the website.
Even if Zhongshan's novels don't work and no one reads them, they can get their share of the royalties as long as they keep updating them.
Earn more than before in the studio!
Why wouldn't these authors do this?
If the website can be built, even better!
If you exceed the guaranteed royalties, you can also give yourself half of it, which is great.
Moreover, they have grown up with Duoyu Studio. Everyone is used to working together. They like every editor here. Naturally, they hope that Duoyu Studio can succeed and everyone can make money together.
But this group of people's new books will take time to write, and the number of words is still too few.
During this period, if you want to retain the readers you attract, you must rely on the library of small new media channels acquired previously and the huge library of Qidian!
Recommendations on websites and apps must give way to good books.
At this time, retaining readers is the most important thing.
There were not many books signed with Qidian last month. Authors under Duoyu who wrote books on Qidian immediately signed operating contracts. Their representative works are dozens of simulator books and dozens of signed books.
These are also some of the books recommended by Zhongshan Novel, focusing on imagination and refreshing.
Both old bookworms and novices can read it.
The interactive interface they made has a lot of recommended spots on the homepage, and they have to be rotated every day, otherwise readers won't be able to find the right book at the first time, so other Qidian works basically have a chance to be recommended on the homepage.
This made the first batch of Qidian books available for free.
Coupled with 55% of the royalties, the authors get even more money.
This is also the reason why many popular books like Mr. Tian also receive a good amount of royalties.
Of course, the authors who get the most royalties are the authors under Duoyu. After all, they are our own people. If they support more traffic, they will come here to write again.
And this is also a back-up that Li Wei left behind, and he might not be able to use it in the future.
Three people from the Internet Literature Department, Li Ke, Xiao Xing, and Tian Gou gathered around a computer and an operator.
Watching the number of signed books backstage continue to soar, a smile of success appeared on the corners of my mouth.
Outrageous: "The fish is hooked."
Xiaoxing: "The authors need this royalties, so they will naturally sign them. In fact, I am not worried about the problem of the library, but we seem to have spent too much money. I just asked the finance department to do the calculations. Last month we
Various expenses have reached 30 million, while the total revenue of the website is only 11 million. There is a huge gap. Although there are factors such as early price reductions, purchase channels, and one-time investment in advertising, Mr. Pu gave us 100 million, which was gradually reached within half a year.
, I'm afraid that if we continue to spend like this, our capital chain will not be able to sustain it, then..."
Tian Gou thought for a moment and then said: "Editor-in-chief Xiaoxing is right. We had an income of 11 million yuan last month, which was all due to advertising. It looks very prosperous on the surface, but we know what's going on inside.
But this data must not be known to other websites, especially Qidian! The more it is like this, the more we must show the momentum of throwing money forward, and we must continue to burn, so that users and websites can see our confidence and strength! As long as we follow our
I am confident that our plan will work! We will definitely be able to make a comeback before we burn out all the money!"
The corners of the outrageous mouth curved into a confident arc, and paired with short hair, she looked heroic.
"That's right! Oda is right. We will act according to the source plan and continue to invest heavily in advertising! We will also acquire some small channels and distribute our books to various entrances. We were originally going to do it in a big way. In a moment,
Don’t be cowardly, editor-in-chief Xiaoxing, do you still remember what you told Mr. Pu? The most important thing is to spend all your money!”
Xiaoxing was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
"Oh yes, I'm in love again. If I care too much, my mentality will be unstable. Mr. Pu set a strategic direction for us at the very beginning, which is to spend 100 million in half a year to launch a blitz to seize the market! Spend! Must spend! This
We will invest another 30 million per month.”
Three young people gave each other courage, and together with Duoyu.com's cultural department, they used the bodies of ants to shake the giant dragon of Qidian.
If it were placed in another company and said that such a big strategy was actually developed by three young people aged no more than 25 years old, I would be shocked.
At this age, they are still playing in the mud!
I can’t even understand the office fights
In Duoyu Company, this is normal.
The older employees didn't even have any complaints and tried their best to pay for the wild ideas of these young people and implement them in their work.
Because they are originally those old scalper-type employees who don’t like to talk but are honest and reliable.
It's okay to do my job, but I don't know anything about office politics.
Mr. Pu is very grateful for giving mediocre people like them a job opportunity.
Not to mention the salary that is half higher than that of peers, as well as irregular bonuses and team building.
Mr. Pu told them to listen to whoever told them to listen.
Mr. Pu, you can’t be wrong.
But when the Internet and Literature Department was full of ambitions and doing great things.
Mr. Pu has come to the company.
His eyes immediately glanced at the online literature department.
Xiaoxing subconsciously took half a step back and lowered her head slightly.
After Mr. Pu came over, he looked at the ridiculous and slightly timid Xiaoxing in front of him with his head held high.
Directly.
"That's outrageous. Come to the office with me."
Xiaoxing likes to fool around, and Mr. Pu won't expose him, just let him take the lead in fooling around, and sooner or later he will bring the others along with him.
This cycle, the Internet and Literature Department has lost 100 million, and Mr. Pu still has to count on Xiaoxing!
This is the most loyal minister!
Look at this outrageous look, you almost have the words "struggle force" written on your face.
By the way, the article I posted before analyzing my book was also outrageous.
Mr. Pu felt that she would be able to write if the pen was given to her in the future.
Arrived at the office.
Mr. Pu asked straight to the point: "How was the income of the Internet and Literature Department last month?"
Mr. Pu has learned a lot this cycle. He must always keep abreast of the financial status of each department. There can be no oolong incident like the audio reading department suddenly taking over millions in the last cycle and ultimately falling short.
Every aspect is under control, and overall there will definitely be no problem.
Libi thought about it for a moment and decided not to say nice things to exaggerate their performance, but to tell the truth.
Little
Only in this way can Mr. Pu help them find problems and improve them, thereby helping them turn losses into profits faster.
"Mr. Pu, last month, we lost nearly 20 million yuan. There is a huge gap between user fee income and our expenses. And we are expected to lose another 20 million yuan this month to maintain the current development speed."
"Good! Good news!"
Mr. Pu clapped his hands and cheered.
This is the best news he has heard this cycle!
Sure enough, it was just as he expected, writing online would be a big loss!
This is a bottomless pit.
Listen!
It takes a loss of 20 million a month to maintain current development.
That means you will lose 20 million every month!
This is not stable!
Sure enough, Xiaoxing is still reliable!
At first glance, such a talented student like Weibo seems to have high ambitions and low hands. When analyzing, he is clear and logical, but when operating, he is completely confused.
When Li Ke heard Mr. Pu say yes, he was stunned for a moment, and then understood.
"Mr. Pu? Do you have any opinions about our online literature department?"
"No! Not at all! Very good, you did a great job!"
Weibo nodded, which meant that Mr. Pu approved their operation plan.
"That's right!" Mr. Pu suddenly said: "Well, you guys should take it easy and take control in the last month, otherwise the company won't have enough money."
According to this loss method, don't lose too much. When the time comes, the company will owe a lot of debt and be ruined by law enforcement.
"I understand Mr. Pu." Li Wei said and went out.
Mr. Pu frowned slightly.
What does she know?
Could it be seen that I am maliciously losing money?
Is it that obvious?
"That's right! That's outrageous! Lao Meng and the other three are back today. You go make arrangements and give them a celebration party in the evening to freshen up."
