After listening to Xiaoxing's explanation, Pu Jie opened WeChat, searched for the "WeChat Reading" applet, and saw "The Rogue Miracle Doctor" at the top of the best-selling list on the homepage.
His hands and feet were cold and his face was ashen.
"Hehehehe~ Group channels? Financial problems? Hehehe~"
"I'm so stupid, really... I just knew that editor Xiaoxing was not a good person, but I didn't expect that a person could be so bad!"
"You can't backstab the same author twice in a row, at least not!"
Xiaoxing used one move to build the plank road openly, but secretly attacked Chen Cang, leaving Pu Jie completely in the dark.
Pu Jie felt that his future was bleak.
He lay on the bed, crossed his hands on his chest, and closed his eyes peacefully.
"When exactly... did things become like this?"
"Why didn't I notice it at all?"
"Who are the traitors?"
"Who is the one-man show leader of the LSP gang? Who is the tidal sea spirit who rewards the leader? Who recommended my novel to the director Fu Weng? Who is the ghost operator of Qidian's new channel!!!"
In this cold world, Pu Jie felt... only Shadow Night Cat's bad comments could bring him a trace of warmth.
"Tomorrow, the world will continue. Should we continue to love, or wait for destruction?"
etc!
"Hey! No, I really think I'm not dead!"
Pu Jie sat up in shock when he was dying. The clown was not himself!
"Um~Wait a minute! Where's my calculator! Um~Wait a minute!"
He took out his calculator and began to calculate all the royalties for "The Rural Scoundrel Doctor" since its publication.
February: None;
March: 2832 yuan;
April: 15,191 yuan;
May: 240,118 yuan;
The book has been open for more than three months now, and the total manuscript fees add up to 258,141 yuan. After deducting taxes, Pu Jie’s current total income from the new book is 214,257 yuan.
"Actually, I only received 210,000 yuan in royalties, and there is still one month left before the book is finished. As long as the total royalties in June do not exceed 390,000 yuan, I can still make a comeback!"
Pu Jie took another look at the new media channels’ estimated royalties for next month: 150,000 yuan.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Then as long as the total manuscript fee this month does not exceed 240,000 yuan, it will be fine!"
has hope!
Pu Jie immediately contacted Xiaoxing: "Will the channel royalties next month... be more than the current ones?"
After Xiaoxing received the message, he hesitated for a moment. After all, he was not from the WeChat Reading Operations Department and did not know the specific measures there.
But...I heard that they are still burning money there, so they probably won't make much profit in a short time, right?
Pu decided to pay the channel royalties for last month, but after he strongly protested and the publisher said they would consider sharing the operating expenses of the book, he reluctantly reached this amount.
It's only been in operation for two months, so it's probably still burning money!
"I guess there won't be any more. Only after they start charging normally will our channel royalties be qualitatively improved."
"That's good!"
Pu Jie breathed a sigh of relief. As long as next month's amount is not more than this month's 210,000 yuan, then after tax is deducted, he will only get 174,000 yuan, which is not a big problem.
When Xiaoxing saw it, she was instantly moved.
It’s up to Pu to decide! Knowing that new channels are not easy, even though I feel that the 210,000 yuan royalties are not worthy of the sales of his books, I still consider it for Qidian.
What is this called?
This is called mutual prosperity of the website and the author!
Pu Jie asked again: "What happened to my new media channel last month? Why did I have an estimated royalties of 150,000 yuan? It increased by 20 times? Is there any problem with the data?"
Xiaoxing can see some data from new media.
"Oh! Last month, the new media channel gave you a big recommendation. Every book after 1 million words, as long as the data is not particularly bad, will have the opportunity to be featured in this big recommendation. There will be a short-term surge, but
...The next time this kind of recommendation relies on word count, it should be 2 million words."
"Oh...then I'll be relieved!"
It turned out to be a big push, no wonder!
After Pu Jie was deceived by new media channels once, he is also paying attention to the news here. He knows that new media channels now have many customers and books, and the recommendation position is very tight!
Many books can’t be recommended even if they’re queued for months, but they can take off within a month if they come.
This book is only recommended because of its word count.
He has less than 2 million words to write and will finish the book at 1.5 million words.
Then the new media royalties will definitely plummet next month! Even return to the level of around 10,000.
"After all this calculation... I still hope to get the system subsidy next month. Although it is a bit less, only tens of thousands of yuan, but... I can finally unlock my 2.4 million royalties!"
The lesser of two evils!
If you can't get the 600,000 subsidy, you need to complete the system tasks first.
As long as the manuscript fee is not locked by the system's [Anti-Addiction Regulations] in the future, everything will be worth it!
"Stay steady and you can win!"
...
Qidian Editorial Department, Group 2 Office.
When Xiaoxing saw that Pu Jie had sent a reply of "Oh...then I'll be relieved!", Xiaoxing deleted the message she had just edited.
"Hey...it seems that he has been paying attention to the rules of the new media. He knows that after this big promotion based on word count, if the effect is good, he will arrange a stronger recommendation position on the homepage...
"
"Haha~ I actually thought that Pu Ding was dead."
"Who is Pu Dingzuo! The first generation of new media king! New media channels are his home base. Don't you know better than me?"
Xiaoxing happily sent a message to Pu Ding: "Stay steady, you can fly!"
Pu Ding said: "Haha!"
Seeing the familiar two-word reply, Xiaoxing closed the chat box with satisfaction.
"Sure enough, everything was as expected by Pu Ding."
This floor has the strongest security measures in the company. If you want to enter this floor, you must have the work badge of this department, plus facial scan verification, and then go through a metal detector.
It is said that it was for the personal safety of the two operations managers.
The two operations managers didn't ask for their first-month bonuses, and the security system was upgraded overnight.
I'm afraid that colleagues who have been brushed aside by Pin Xixi will suddenly rush over and chop them.
It's a real chop.
"By the way, the news that we are working as a WeChat reading operation department... must not be leaked again, it will be bad for our personal safety in the future."
"It must be kept secret!"
Two operations managers launched a forwarding promotion event last month. As long as you ask friends to help you chop a few times, you can read the entire book for free!
New customers get more cuts.
Everyone can draw a lottery. After drawing, the progress will be 99%. If you pick up friends who exceed 95%, and then complete a few tasks, you will reach 99.9%.
Customers are trying their best to find someone else to cut it, hoping to read an entire book for free.
However, in the background of the two people, it can be clearly seen that the user's progress is 0.9996427%, but what the user sees is the abbreviation of 99.9%.
There are too many numbers, and I’m afraid users won’t be able to read them, so I’ve abbreviated them for you.
Is this reasonable?
Very reasonable!
After the two of them completed this activity, they didn’t spend much money, and the number of users increased dramatically!
More than last month, a full 4 million new users!
The two used the money they saved to renovate the office, leaving several secret passages for escape, leading upstairs and downstairs...
After Xingchen found out what the two were doing, he laughed and cursed: "You know it's wicked, right? This new activity is really bad!"
Then he glanced at the 4 million new users of WeChat Reading and raised the corner of his mouth: "But I like it very much..."
Today, the new channel royalties data has been released, and the WeChat Reading Operations Department has stepped up its waist!
In the second month, their channel has started to make profits!
This is incredible in the era of Internet investment where everyone is competing to spend money more ruthlessly!
After only burning a month of money, it has already turned a profit, and its users are growing at an extremely fast rate. Relying on the big data push of its own WeChat program, most of the customers it finds are target group customers!
What can be expected is that...the new channel has amazing potential, and it will also be a J-sucking beast in the future!
"This is just the beginning. Next, brothers, are you ready with the guillotine?"
"Ready!"
"Let's come together... touch your hair~ Bah! You said it wrong, let's come together~ leeks!"
In June, the operations department is preparing to take action on the 7 million registered customers of WeChat!
The promotion effect in May was great, far exceeding their expectations.
Last month, we only tightened up our activities a little bit, and the authors' royalties skyrocketed like a rocket.
Especially for "The Rogue Doctor", the manuscript fee went from 10,000 to 210,000, a full 21 times increase!
Capitalists were so jealous when they saw this ratio.
"Why don't we post a post on the Writer Assistant app to celebrate the smooth start of the new channel?"
"Hey~ it's too early. Wait until next month, when we return to normal prices... our income will at least increase several times! Then we will publish an article and list the royalties for Pu's "Rogue Doctor".
It will be a sign of our WeChat reading, and at the same time, it will also attract attention for him. It will definitely make Pu Ding extremely happy!"
"That's necessary! He still has to thank us! Even if we compensate him for the advertising fee shared in the first month."
During working hours, everyone in the WeChat Reading Operations Department raised glasses and drank wolfberry water together.
