Chapter 496 Mr. Pu is eyeing the physical business of online articles
Multifish Company.
Audio reading department.
For a long time recently, Duoyu Tingshu has made steady progress and continuously expanded its product series.
From the initial listening to online articles, it has expanded to cover news, cross talk, ghost stories, mother and baby, science, food, music, English, business, etc., and the development speed is astonishing.
The ever-expanding content allows latecomers to keep catching up and has never been surpassed, firmly maintaining its leading position in audio reading.
Moreover, with the development of the audiobook industry, the habits of user groups have been developed, and the market is slowly expanding.
Duoyu listening to books has become a daily necessity for many people.
In Africa, things are also developing slowly. Last month, a new radio station cooperation project was added to the country. It is foreseeable that as the influence of Duoyu Tingshu in Africa gradually expands, there will be opportunities for cooperation.
There will be more and more.
After all, there isn’t even a decent competing product there, it’s simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
At the speed of the "hard-working" African people, it will take several years to copy the international version of Duoyu Tingshu.
Many people in China who admire Western and Japanese countries do not know that the land of Africa is full of Chinese legends.
China is the YYDS!
Made in China is a very popular item. Used clothes from China can be sold for a lot of money if washed and hung in the store.
This line of English letters is engraved on it, which represents quality!
Therefore, no one can withstand the dimensionality reduction attack of Duoyu Audiobook in Africa. This kind of cheap audiobook service also has a huge market in Africa.
The Duoyu audiobook department is also the one that Mr. Pu pays the least attention to.
All I know is that this is a hopeless backstabbing department. It brings a huge burden to the company every month.
And in this department, there is a strange person.
His job is very simple. He just checks some background bugs and makes small repairs on a daily basis. He has a lot of free time.
His name is Cao Mu, and he is a fellow disciple who was recruited together with Tian Gou, Jiang Rui, Liu Ming, and Fang Ke.
He has always been secretive, but he is the most popular person among the employees of Duoyu Company.
Because of his other identity: handicraft expert!
He is the only employee who can really implement Mr. Pu's fishing philosophy. As long as he finishes his work, he will not do more, pick up a pile of tools on his other desk, and start making figures.
There are so many different things, you can do anything.
After they were finished, they were given away to colleagues without collecting them. Each one was very exquisite.
In the year since I started working, everyone at Duoyu Company has received figures from Cao Mu, and Mr. Pu has two beauty models on his desk.
Can everyone not like him?
The colorful figures have also become a beautiful scenery on the desk of Duoyu Company.
Cao Mu was very grateful to Duoyu Company. He originally thought that what Mr. Pu said when he joined the company were all lies. After he was done with work, he could arrange his time reasonably and do something interesting, such as watching a movie or exercising.
.
Unexpectedly, they are all true!
He was cautious at first when making figures in the company, but later he made no secret of it. No one cared about him at all, and his supervisor even praised him for adding value to Duoyu Culture.
Not only does Cao Mu like figurines himself, but there is also a circle of people who also like to make figurines. They disdain to buy high-priced figurines that lead a good life, and would rather make their own Chinese figurines that can better represent the culture of their country.
.
Especially after joining Duoyu Company, Cao Mu has designed figures for several head novels of Zhongshan Novel for free. The website will occasionally use his figures for event draws, and he is privately regarded as a masterpiece by book friends.
classic.
"Huh~"
Cao Mu put down the razor in his hand and looked at a pretty girl with animal ears, showing a satisfied smile.
He raised his head and looked around. All his colleagues were busy doing their own things. No one came to disturb him, and no one came over to look weird. Everyone was doing their own thing.
"The company is really good. I really don't know how I can get such a job. It would be great if I could do something for the company."
Immediately, he smiled to himself again.
What can a handicraftsman do for such a large company?
It would be more practical to give Mr. Pu two notes of incense during the holidays.
Looking at the figure of the cat-eared girl in his hand, Cao Mu pondered for a moment.
"It seems that the company has a new department manager. Send him one."
Upstairs, the office of the president of Duoyu Company.
"Huh~"
After Mr. Pu arranged the two biggest things of this cycle, he felt much better.
Struggle forced punishment, and a huge loss-making project began.
There is another small matter that requires Mr. Pu to pay a little attention to.
"Assistant Qi, call Yuan Hua."
"Okay Mr. Pu."
After a while, Yuan Hua, who had a slicked back hair and dressed like a dog, walked in. He was a little cautious and didn't know where to stand to report.
Mr. Pu greeted: "Sit, sit, sit! In our Duoyu company, there are no such nonsense. Everyone is just like friends, not to mention that we are close buddies in the same dormitory. Apart from our status as a company, we still drink and brag together at night.
.”
"Yes, yes, yes." Yuan Hua sat half-assed on the leather sofa, leaning forward to show his listening.
Since his family fell behind more than half a year ago, Yuan Hua has experienced hardships in life that he has never experienced in the past 21 years.
This was the first time I knew it. It turned out that he had no money, no free house to rent, and no car of his own to go to Didi. He only had an old house on the seaside that his aunt gave him to live in, and a broken fishing boat.
I have experienced the ups and downs of life in more than half a year, and my previously cheerful and optimistic personality has been smoothed away and I have become a little cautious.
At this moment, the distance between him and Pu Jie was too far.
There is simply no way to face it with a normal mentality and make these actions subconsciously.
But after hearing Mr. Pu say this, I finally felt a little relieved.
"Mr. Pu, based on the request you gave me, I inspected some comic companies and found that things are not very optimistic."
"Ten years ago, paper comics still had a high market share. However, they have been severely impacted by the mobile Internet in recent years, and sales have dropped again and again. Currently, the comics we can hear about have outstanding sales.
They are old books from 10 years ago, such as Doumou Continent and Doumou Cangqiong. Many comic magazines that were very popular at the time have now closed down."
"So, if we join the game now, it will be difficult to get good results. Even if we publish the novels and comics that are relatively popular now, it will be almost impossible to recreate the glory of the past. If we do well, we can barely survive, but if we do not do well, we will lose a lot of money.
Pen."
The more Yuan Hua talked, the more in tune he became and talked eloquently.
"To sum up, it's not that the comics industry is completely over. After all, there is a large number of fixed audiences, but it means that we can invest in comics, but it will be safer to make electronic comics, and the customers we will face will be larger and wider, and it will not
Printing is a fixed investment, so it can be operated at a light cost. Even if it is a loss, it will not hurt your vitality.
On the contrary, if we make money, we can expand the scale, and when the operation reaches a certain level in the future, we can in turn produce high-quality collectible paper comics, sell them to rich fans, and make a lot of money."
"In this way, we can advance, attack, retreat or defend. Mr. Pu, do you think it is still feasible?"
Mr. Pu: "."
Is it possible?
It’s so doable!
Yuan Hua's insights are very practical even for a comic layman like Mr. Pu.
If he is really allowed to operate it, let alone losing money, what if it makes the already wealthy Duoyu Company even worse?
It is indeed the result of such a long period of research, and it is worthy of being a talent one level above Dachun and Zhang Yang. There is indeed something!
Although it may not be successful in practice, this insight is already above the level of normal people.
horrible!
You must not do what Yuan Hua said!
Mr. Pu said seriously: "It's too small, the layout is too small."
Yuan Hua:(°ー°〃)
"Mr. Pu, this is just a family opinion. In the end, it's up to you to give me your advice."
Mr. Pu nodded: "Then I won't be polite and will start ordering you directly."
Yuan Hua's mouth twitched: "Okay"
Mr. Pu felt that Yuan Hua did one thing very well, that is, he was able to see that physical comics periodicals would lose money, and his analysis was very accurate. This point was seen more clearly than Mr. Pu, and it deserves recognition.
"It must be a physical comic journal! The value of Duoyu Manke must be carried by paper journals! Are the things we sell the same as the comics we see online?"
"No! What we sell is comic culture!"
"Those who buy our periodicals are the loyal users of comics. We rely on them to promote the adaptation of online comics to comics and even animation!"
"And those who like to read the electronic version online are not our users at all, we don't need them! We only need to serve the users who like to read the physical version well!"
"Besides, who stipulates that you must make money? You know, we are Duoyu Company. Oh no, Duoyu Group! Our group is a large comprehensive company centered on Internet articles. You have to consider it from the perspective of the company's overall situation.
Question, every decision we make is not necessarily made for profit, but to expand the group's influence and lay out the full commercial sector of online articles. Can you understand?"
"hiss--"
Yuan Hua took a breath, frowned slightly, and showed an expression of disbelief on his face.
Mr. Pu's heart sank.
Unfortunately, Yuan Hua, unlike Dachun and Zhang Yang, is not easy to deceive.
Sure enough, my far-fetched reason was that except for the fact that it was difficult for the system to deceive others,
You have to find some other reasons to convince Yuan Hua. You can't just forcefully arrange it like Li Wei and others. Otherwise, Yuan Hua will have doubts about his decision-making from the beginning, and then it will be difficult to arrange the work in the future.
Just when Mr. Pu was looking for other reasons, Yuan Hua suddenly shouted:
"good!"
"As expected of Mr. Pu, his position is high! I was the one who fell behind.
I think what you said, Mr. Pu, is so reasonable! We can’t just follow the trend, we should be a real entity! What we sell is not comic periodicals, what we sell is comic culture! Wow, what you said, Mr. Pu, is perfect! It can definitely be used for
The slogan of our Duoyumanke journal!
The physical business can do far more than comics, and can also include other online derivatives. It doesn’t matter whether we make money or not, the main thing is to improve the quality of our online writing! In the future, our company will be listed. The less we say, the more we can do.
It’s estimated to be several hundred million, that’s great!”
Mr. Pu:Σ(°△°|||)︴
Is this such an exaggeration?
Forget it, let him do whatever he wants, since he is not planning to list the company anyway.
Mr. Pu thought for a moment and then replied: "Okay, let's do it. By the way, how much do you estimate it will cost?"
Yuan Hua rubbed his hands and said sheepishly: "Mr. Pu, I have calculated the costs of copyright, painting, publication, printing, and distribution. Among them, the cost of painters is the highest. We have to choose multiple good painters.
It's very expensive, so even though I kept shrinking the budget, the minimum number of comics required to meet the launch of the publication is 4 books serialized at the same time, and there are also some small sections interspersed with content, so at least 5 animators are required to work at the same time.
That’s fine, even if it’s paid in installments.”
"At least 5 million."
After finishing speaking, Yuan Hua looked at Mr. Pu nervously, waiting for his answer.
"5000000."
Mr. Pu's brows furrowed, deeper than when he first talked about starting an online journal.
'broken!'
Yuan Hua sighed deeply in his heart.
'Sure enough, asking Brother Jie for 5 million when I first joined the company is a bit too much. Even if you have money, you can't do this. Besides, I don't have any experience in this area.'
'Haha~ When Brother Jie saw that I was poor, he pulled me out and gave me the position of editor-in-chief. I really regarded myself as a green onion. In addition to being more handsome than Brother Jie, I have more literary talent than Brother Jie, and I have better emotional intelligence than Brother Jie.
At a higher level, who am I? What else am I?'
'Maybe I should be a gangster in the corner of Duoyu Company for the rest of my life.'
In just a few seconds while Mr. Pu pondered, countless thoughts flashed through Yuan Hua's heart, and his mood gradually became depressed.
"5 million is too little, right?"
Yuan Hua nodded: "Yes, I didn't think about it. I shouldn't have asked you directly for so much and so on!?"
"Brother Jie, you just said too little???"
Mr. Pu nodded naturally: "How can an investment of 5 million be enough to start an animation journal? This small amount of money makes people laugh, and they think that my Duoyu Company has no courage!"
"Speaking of which, Yuan Hua, I have to criticize you. You still don't know enough about the corporate culture of Duoyu Company. We are never afraid of high investment in our work! We are never afraid of losing money! Just choose the right project and invest with confidence! I will bear any losses.
Come on! Regarding corporate culture, you have to quickly find old employees to learn from it. Forget it, you should learn from me."
The corners of Mr. Pu's mouth twitched slightly, as if he had thought of some bad cases.
No!
He couldn't find a good case!
Gan!
Do my employees correctly understand the corporate culture I want to express?
Do I have to write on the wall?
Working overtime is a crime, long live fishing!
Work hard to survive on a desert island, drink tea and watch TV dramas and live a happy life!
One day equals one year, and the company is about to lose money!
New projects, new plans, new cycle company hangs!
There are too many!
Unfortunately, Mr. Pu cannot be so unscrupulous due to the warning from the system, and has no choice but to continue to subtly export the corporate culture in his actions, hoping that the employees below can sum it up for themselves.
And after Mr. Pu's secret observation during this period, he found that some of the company's stubborn old employees have gradually understood.
Niuzi and Tiangou outside have not had any trouble for a long time.
Every time I pass by their work stations, I will see scenes of them watching TV series or playing games.
They finally realized it.
Mr. Pu burst into tears!
"Ahem! In short, Yuan Hua, if you have anything to do in the future, please report to me more, and don't learn from other unknown people in the company. If I'm not here, you can communicate more with Niu Zi and Tian Gou from the Internet Literature Department. They are very knowledgeable about our company's business.
Cultural understanding. It’s very profound, very profound, it’s already at the level of enlightenment.”
Yuan Hua nodded in understanding.
"oh"
Mr. Pu continued: "Then for this project, I will double it for you, 10 million! It must be spent! Go ahead!"
Yuan Hua: "!!!"
"Hiss~~~Mr. Pu. Are you serious? I'll cry to death!"
Yuan Hua was extremely excited and took the certificate given by Mr. Pu to the finance department to apply for money.
Mr. Pu also went out happily. The company's affairs were taken care of, and he no longer had to work in the company. He could go out and have some fun.
When passing by Niu Zi and Tian Gou's work stations, Mr. Pu glanced at them inadvertently.
One is playing World of Warcraft, and the other is following the anime "Staying at Home is the Most Stable in the End of the World".
'good!'
Mr. Pu nodded with satisfaction and went about his business with confidence.
moment.
The sound of the elevator going downstairs sounded.
Niu Zi and Tian Gou looked at each other and returned to the backstage screen of Zhongshan Novel. One was talking about advertising and investment, and the other was conducting a website recommendation review. It was very natural, as if they had practiced it hundreds of times.
Yuan Hua walked to his office, sat on the large office chair and spun around, feeling relaxed.
"It seems to be the same as what I speculated before. Mr. Pu did not just make a comic journal on a whim, but focused on the physical business of online articles."
Damn it! I went to have dinner in the evening, and I said I would go back and code after eating, but my friend refused to let me go! He insisted on pinching me! He said that there was a project called Dragon Muscle Pulling that was very good, but I couldn't resist him, so I had to pinch it.
I have finished it now. This chapter was actually written last night before the power outage.
