“Can a magazine as big as ours still treat authors badly?”
Now that Lu Li saw this sentence, she felt upset.
It was already evening now. She had been working hard since getting up early in the morning and now, except for eating, she had no time for leisure at all.
But despite this, the writing speed of human beings is still not as fast as that of computers. After working hard all day, my arm will be broken, but I can only write 10,000 words.
This is pretty good.
In the past, she had to send copies to editors, so she had to control the fonts and not be too sloppy.
Later, the editor commented that this was not conducive to their identification and entry, so she changed it to printing. This way, the speed was a bit faster...
But machines are still subject to wear and tear, let alone people. If you write continuously for a long time, your arms will become sore, numb and swollen in the later stages, making it difficult to maintain high efficiency.
…
From eight in the morning to six in the evening, apart from eating, drinking, and going to the toilet, she worked solidly for nine hours.
It took nine hours to write 10,000 words. Of course, it was because she had no ideas during her ex-wife period, but at the same time...
Lu Li rubbed her sore and numb elbows and wrists, feeling deeply depressed.
——Manpower is sometimes exhausted.
…
Including the 100,000 words written during the vacation and the 15,000 words written intermittently during this period, Lu Li roughly estimated that the story is almost halfway through.
In fact, she herself didn't know whether the estimate was accurate. After all, she didn't have any experience in writing so many words, so she could only rely on her feelings.
But if you can get one-third of the last manuscript fee halfway through writing, then naturally it is better to communicate with the editor early.
However, what she thought was beautiful, and what the editor said was even more beautiful.
"Don't rush to catch up with the progress so quickly. I think your book has the potential to become a hit..."
"real."
"You can extend the word count a little longer, to 300,000 words, no problem."
"The total fee for your last issue was only 1,700 yuan, all because of the small number of words! Only by writing long novels can you have a future."
"I've already given you six hundred, don't worry."
"How can a magazine as big as ours still miss your manuscript fee?"
…
Lu Li didn't answer.
She looked at the stack of magazines laid out under Chen Siyu.
Although she is no longer in the book rental business, she still has many magazines at hand.
Lu Li thought silently that if she couldn't get the money back this time, she would submit her article to another magazine next time.
In the past, it was because the article I wrote was rejected, so I didn’t have the confidence to switch to other companies, but now it’s different.
She is confident in her essay.
It's really written so smoothly and so well.
And looking at the popularity of her original post on the Tianya Haijiao forum, it proves that everyone likes to read it now.
This time, she can definitely surpass Ding Wei.
Just what Ding Wei wrote about mecha and rebirth...
Lu Li admits that she is good-looking, but it is not a popular subject?!
She was tidying up the manuscripts on the table and her mood improved now.
…
While coding in the same dormitory, Ding Wei and Lu Li may be in a situation where one is in heaven and the other is on earth.
By the time she added up the two novels and wrote another 100,000 words this weekend, the week had passed again.
Ever since she lost weight, the days when Bai Shanshan spent her free time lying in bed eating, reading novels and watching TV shows are gone forever.
She is extremely bored now, so she can only follow Chen Siyu to do odd jobs.
Although she is no longer a partner, she is a good sister. She is idle when she is idle. Lying in the dormitory, Ding Wei will definitely urge her to go out for activities again...
Hum, ruthless Weiwei.
When I wanted to get a massage or take a bath, I would call her "cute". Now that I am addicted to work, I would ask her to go out and exercise to lose weight.
This heartless woman.
…
Chen Siyu has officially started recruiting employees.
Her store has now been upgraded and has a lot of customers every day.
When Zheng Minghe and the others were no longer able to take care of both, she officially started interviewing employees.
Fortunately, even if the store is upgraded, one employee should be able to take care of it if the size of the store is placed here.
However, to be on the safe side, I plan to hire an extra packager and delivery person to look after the warehouse, so that the two of them can take turns doing customer service.
At worst, I'll give you more overtime pay.
This ruthless capitalist has shown her fangs.
…
But even though we only planned to recruit two people, the small garage could no longer accommodate so many things.
In particular, the community express truck comes to collect the goods every day, and the door cannot be kept closed during the day. There are so many densely packed clothes inside, which inevitably attracts inquiries from enthusiastic aunties.
If they hadn't taken the initiative to say that these were not for sale, the aunts would have touched them and put them on before wearing them.
As we all know, there are no secrets in the circle of aunties.
Back and forth, many people pass by the garage every day and want to see how the business is doing, which is said to be selling clothes and wholesale... In the long run, it will inevitably attract the covetousness of interested people.
Chen Siyu also felt that this place was not very safe.
Today's public security is not as good as that of later generations. What's more, even if it were as good as that of later generations, she would not dare to take risks even if she has ten thousand to twenty thousand goods here.
Fortunately, good people don't admit defeat.
Chen Siyu quickly got the answer from the space. Everyone suggested that she apply for a business license and see if she could get insurance for her employees, so that if something went wrong, she could get to the bottom of it.
On the other hand, it is also a reassurance for employees. Otherwise, they have to go to class by themselves. Only employees are here every day. If they have bad intentions, it will be too late to stop them, and it is impossible for her to drop out of school because she cares about business.
…
Then, since we are selling things online, the imperial capital is currently developing an e-commerce park in full swing.
Each merchant has a dedicated warehouse and workshop according to different needs, and express delivery is delivered to the door at a designated location. The building has 24-hour security and monitoring, as well as dedicated property service personnel.
In addition, if necessary, regarding employee accommodation, you can also consider the supporting community nearby, where the houses are cheap to rent.
No matter from the environment or long-term development point of view, it is better than being in this small garage.
…
More importantly, I heard that the government will provide a certain degree of policy preference and preferential treatment to those who settle in the e-commerce park. Including cooperation with the Taotaobao website, there will also be some key support projects that you can participate in.
In this case, it is urgent to move the warehouse.
It's easy to move.
Ding Wei has a car now, so when this wave of goods is quickly cleared, she can just pull some simple things over.
But the problem is that the e-commerce park is far away, and it will not be so convenient to run from the school there in the future.
"what to do?"
Now Ding Wei can't give any good advice.
The academic qualifications from the University of Ming Dynasty are very important, and the knowledge taught there is even more important, especially since Chen Siyu is now doing well in business and has begun to attend courses in other departments.
Everyone is studying Chinese, so why does Ding Wei always speak so clearly and constructively?
But she can only applaud like crazy seals. Doesn’t it mean that she has no future?
Chen Siyu pondered that if he could not continuously improve himself, even if the business became bigger, whether he could manage it well or not would still be two different things.
Nowadays, there are ready-made opportunities that cost no money. If you don’t learn, you won’t learn!
Business expert Chen Siyu will never miss any opportunity!
…
But as Ding Wei said, e-commerce is rising rapidly in recent years. It is a rare opportunity. If you stop to further your education at this time, won't you miss a great opportunity to take off?
For a time, she could only take care of both ends, and her whole body was like a spinning top.
To be honest, there are quite a few people starting their own businesses in schools these days. Maybe they started from a small business like selling clothes, but quickly made the online store so big, and they were still working alone, and that’s Chen Siyu.
Ding Wei feels that she really has the potential to do business and make money from all directions.
But now we can't have our cake and eat it too, so it depends on whether Chen Siyu can spare the effort.
…
She is busier now than Ding Wei was last semester!
On the one hand, it is the driver's license, on the other hand, it is studying, and on the other hand, it is attending classes... In the end, the focus cannot be relaxed on my business.
Sure enough, if a person doesn’t work hard, his youth will be wasted.
When Ding Wei prepared her meal and waited for Chen Siyu with Bai Shanshan, she was still holding a copy of "Theory of Economic Organization" in her hand.
"Oh my god, I feel like this is too difficult."
She complained endlessly.
But the book in my hand contains a lot of dense notes.
It’s really difficult for a liberal arts student to study economics at the same time!
…
To be honest, Chen Siyu's time management is quite good nowadays.
She gets up in the morning, does exercises, has breakfast, and prepares for morning classes. Usually at this time, she is either doing homework or studying the theories of the School of Economics and Management.
It lasted until noon. After lunch in the cafeteria, it was time to rush to the driving school to learn to drive.
Come back when there is class in the afternoon, and not until dinner in the evening.
When there are classes, I take classes in the Chinese Department, and when there are no classes, I take economics and management classes. After dinner in the evening, I go straight to my new workplace. There is no subway, only buses, which takes about an hour and a half...
In the past few days, she had been able to survive her evening self-study by skipping classes.
But it's okay to do this in the short term, but if it lasts for a long time, it will probably become troublesome.
To be honest, the teachers I have met so far are much easier to talk to than Lao Wang and others.
Halfway through the semester, when they saw a strange student in the class, they didn't even raise their eyelids. Chen Siyu relaxed and studied even more energetically.
After all, as an auditor, she doesn't have to hand in homework or take exams. Wouldn't it be nice to think about it?
My classmates are having a hard time learning even a basic insurance course.
Of course, the progress of the two is also completely different.
But for Chen Siyu, this is already very satisfying.
…
Ding Wei wants to write a novel, and Chen Siyu is obsessed with making money. As a result, Bai Shanshan inevitably feels a little empty.
"It seems like I have nothing to do..."
Bai Shanshan feels so empty and lonely.
It's like the college entrance examination is about to take place, and my classmates are either studying questions or writing papers every day. I am just chatting in a daze by myself. Not only do I feel out of place, but I am also full of hesitation in my heart.
"How can it be okay?"
Ding Wei looked at her——
It is true that Bai Shanshan can no longer be so boring.
Whenever she has free time, she just wants to put something in her mouth, or lie on the bed... Why does such a good girl not care at all if she has fatty liver?
But it was impossible to work part-time. Neither the Bai brothers nor the sister-in-law would agree, and there was absolutely no need for her to experience this kind of life.
…
"Do you have a Weibo account?"
Bai Shanshan was stunned.
"Yes, I registered one when I was bored when I was promoting it on the whole network last year."
Weibo only emerged last year, and today’s active users are far less exaggerated than in later generations—to be precise, it has not yet fully opened up.
Bai Shanshan struggled to log in with her mobile phone: "Basically I haven't published much on this account. I just forwarded a few pictures of my favorite Korean celebrities."
"What's wrong? Do you need me to use my Weibo account for anything?"
She doesn't even have any fans.
…
Ding Wei pondered: "If you have a Weibo, would you like to think about writing something and posting it regularly on Weibo?"
"When the time comes, if we manage it well and can monetize a large number of fans, it will be considered a kind of business."
Bai Shanshan hesitated.
"Then what should I write? I'm not as good at writing stories as you..."
Besides, traffic monetization... does this mean making money?
"I don't necessarily have to make money...and how can this be a career?"
Ding Wei shook her head.
…
She looked at Bai Shanshan's suitcase stuffed under the bed.
"If you really don't know what to do, why not take photos of your pairs of shoes, edit them carefully, explain the pros and cons, and post them online to see if anyone likes to see them."
Bai Shanshan:???
"If you want to see shoes, can't you just go to the store and buy a pair? Why do you have to look online? I've worn them...you can see them when you go shopping."
Ding Wei:……
Alas, it is not only poverty that can limit one's horizons.
Even wealth can limit people's thinking.
Ding Wei said helplessly: "Look at the shoes on my feet. They cost more than two hundred yuan. How many student members wear these?"
"The average price of your shoes is basically more than four or five digits. I remember the pair of boots you wore last week...it seems to be the pair you have on your feet, or are they handmade and customized in Italy?"
Where can I find channels to buy shoes in Italy now?
Putian custom-made Ding Wei has worn it.
…
"How can ordinary girls get access to these expensive shoes? But everyone knows how to access the Internet."
"You write down these pros and cons, such as its characteristics, its advantages, fashion trends, how it actually feels on your feet, whether it is easy to take care of, etc... Write it all down and post it on Weibo. I think it will definitely
Someone is watching."
Bai Shanshan:......
She hummed: "Then...then I don't know how to take care of my shoes."
Either send it to the counter for re-maintenance, or just sit idle and not wear it.
Anyway, a pair of shoes won’t last long even if you wear them all...
I really can’t write this.
Ding Wei:……
It's my fault, I don't understand the life of rich people.
"But I can post the conversation I had with the salesperson to prove that all my stuff is genuine!"
After all, Bai Shanshan is a big customer, so it stands to reason that things can be delivered directly to her home for selection.
However, her family is not here and she lives in a dormitory, so each counter in the Imperial Capital has a corresponding person in charge to provide her with personal services.
Ding Wei couldn't help but praise her: "What a flexible brain!"
"If you are interested, try to make a video and edit it yourself, and add commentary. I think it would be better."
However, Weibo has only been established for a short period of time, and it can only carry the same function as a blog, but cannot post videos, so these videos need to be posted on some other websites.
"But... you can also put your Weibo name on it to attract traffic to your Weibo account. It's still fine."
…
Although some processes were not very clear, Bai Shanshan understood the basic process in a jiffy.
"Yes, just like I wanted to know the taste of spicy strips at first, now some people should also want to know whether these shoes on my feet are comfortable, right?"
"After all, some people may need to save a year and a half of their salary to buy a pair. What if they buy it and find that their feet are scratched?"
Bai Fushan finally became considerate of the mood and wallet of ordinary girls.
Yes, that's right, the Italian custom-made boots on her feet cost 86,000 yuan equivalent.
Many people don't have that much money for a year and a half's salary.
Ding Wei thought that fashion bloggers still have a bright future.
Especially since Bai Shanshan doesn’t rely on this for a living, that’s even better!
After all, the first liquid foundation she bought in her life was recommended by a certain blogger on Weibo.
At that time, she never thought that it might be Chafan, and the blogger who led her to open a new world was subsequently submerged in more backlash.
…
However, it would be a bit of a waste to just be a blogger.
"In fact, you can also apply for a Taotaobao store and display all the unused luxury goods in your home. After evaluating and introducing them on Weibo, guide everyone to your store."
"On the one hand, it can help you deal with your unused items. On the other hand, don't you think it's interesting to start your own business? The resale and recycling of second-hand luxury goods has always been popular abroad."
Bai Shanshan's eyes lit up.
…
In Bai Fushan's eyes, the saying "If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools" was tailor-made for her.
Just an idea.
As soon as she had time, she went to the mall and bought a camera.
Seventeen thousand nine hundred yuan.
Chen Siyu felt very sad when she saw it.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu How old do I have to fight to have a life like Shanshan's now?"
Ding Wei thought about it carefully.
"This has nothing to do with us. The main thing is that we still lack a brother."
Oh, and I still need a sister-in-law and niece.
Chen Siyu:......
If she borrows another five hundred years from heaven, she will only have a younger brother, not an older brother.
…
In fact, Bai Shanshan's life in school is not luxurious.
Those things that ordinary people think of as luxury goods have been commonplace for her since she was a child. She doesn't think there is anything special at all, and naturally has nothing to show off.
But now I packed up my shoes from under the bed.
In just one winter season, there are more than a dozen pairs... not to mention the summer and autumn models that are filled with shoe boxes, with labels and custom cards still inside!
I wore these last year (maybe only for half a day) and didn't bring them back.
The ones with higher utilization rate are casual shoes and sports shoes.
…
Bai Shanshan pulled out these things in disgrace and said excitedly: "Weiwei, you really know how to deal with these shoes. I was originally thinking about what to do with these shoes... It's not good to give them away if they are worn. If they are sold, second-hand is not popular here.
Recycle……"
"I was thinking that if I don't move to the dormitory, I will keep it here. If we have to move to the dormitory in my sophomore year, I will throw it all away! Now it's better, it saves trouble."
If someone wants it, sell it, which not only saves trouble but also saves money.
God, she is such a considerate sister, so frugal.
…
Bai Shanshan has already registered a Taotaobao store. Nowadays, store registration does not even require a certification fee, so it is not too casual.
But her photography skills are only average. This is also due to playing around with a camera when she was a child.
But when it comes to website page editing, this requires the use of the same old team...
The template that Jiang Yifan optimized before can be directly moved over and used without any effort.
The new picture on the item is from Little Du Ge.
Once the large and small shoe boxes were packed away, the whole girls' dormitory was really shocked.
Even if they didn't know the price of each pair of shoes, they were still surprised to see the quantity.
This is only part of it.
In the early years when most students were still very simple, this was indeed an exaggeration.
…
Because Little Doug wanted to take photos of shoes, the location was naturally his studio, and they had to drive there, so they only brought thirty pairs of shoes in the early stage.
Ding Wei couldn't help but look at the small uniform beds in their school:
"There are only so many lower bunks, how can you fit these in?"
A woman's storage ability is indeed one of the mysteries in the world.
…
Little Du Ge's business is quite good now.
The queue had already been full during the day, but now after dinner, it was already dark and it was difficult to take pictures, so it was empty.
He was patiently retouching pictures alone in the studio. When he received the order relayed by Chen Siyu, he reported the address without hesitation.
When he saw those shoes, he couldn't help but be surprised:
"Didn't I just see these in magazines?"
In a fashion photography studio, it is inevitable that there will be some displays of various magazines.
Sometimes customers would look through it, and little Du Ge would take a second look to see the current shooting style, so as not to keep up with the times.
Now when I take a look, most of them look familiar!
…
He was so skilled in his movements that he immediately put away the props and decorations without even calling his assistant.
At the same time, he also asked Bai Shanshan what kind of goal she wanted to achieve.
Reality has real shooting methods, and high-end shooting has high-end shooting methods. When the two are combined, the detailed pictures required are different.
Seeing his professional appearance, Bai Shanshan couldn't help but sigh, feeling that she bought the camera for nothing.
"If I had known that Little Du Ge could take so many photos here, I shouldn't have bought a camera! I just couldn't find it in his collection when editing my own pictures."
Ding Wei waved her hand: "Goodbye, I always send you shoes here. What will you do with your clothes in the future? What will you do with some of the things you usually use? You can't come here again, right?"
"Besides, little Brother Du is not always so free. Today is evening. If we jump in the queue, we might have to wait until two months later."
"Moreover, of course the blog posts you write yourself strive to be truthful. They are so beautiful that others won't believe them."
Little Brother Du understood their plan and couldn't help but be surprised: "Are you going to open a Weibo and post these on Weibo?"
Bai Shanshan nodded.
Little Brother Du hesitated for a while and then asked: "You are all registering for Weibo. Are there so many people there?"
He was a little moved.
"How about I register for one, and you guys say... how about posting some photos I take every day, some model pictures? Then I will let everyone see what I am capable of, and you can also come to me for an appointment!"
He thought for a while: "Isn't this just like those promotional pictures posted in the space?"
Ding Wei nodded.
"really."
But of course it’s good that little Du Ge has this idea.
Nowadays, there are no reviews or Meituan. At that time, when looking for something new, most people would either read advertisements or get introduced by relatives and friends.
If there is such a channel, and Xiao Du Ge can develop his reputation, he may be able to organize a team specifically to serve celebrities, or open a school...
There are many ways.
Moreover, Ding Wei saw that little Du Ge's makeup and hair styling skills and his photography skills are quite good, especially the editing and photography, which are simply amazing.
Just looking at the photos of models hanging in the studio, the unconventional pictures with half-pulled bangs make her look so dreamy and beautiful, without being embarrassed at all, and you know that she is actually very capable.
If everyone's non-mainstream era was like this, I'm afraid no one would think it was black history.
Therefore, there is definitely great potential for managing online word-of-mouth.
…
Of course, attracting fans on Weibo is not that simple.
In addition to krypton gold, if you want to attract traffic quickly, it is best to have a popular word that people can search for.
But those explosive elements are now squatting in the Tianya Haijiao forum, and Ding Wei can't figure it out for a while.
She thought about it again and again, and only came up with a joke that she would see online later——
"Speaking of...Shanshan, have you watched "Family with Children" during the holidays?"
Bai Shanshan must have seen it before, and she immediately added without hesitation: "Summer rain, summer snow, summer hail."
Ding Wei understood.
"Then, the photos are being taken here for now, don't worry... In the first issue, would you like to re-look at the computer and compare some of the clothes, shoes, rackets, houses, and electrical appliances shown in it?
Do you have any screenshots of cosmetics pictures?”
"Then let me tell you, at what price will these things be sold now?"
There must be some things that Bai Shanshan doesn't understand, but if you don't understand, you can check it out. There is no one who knows how to do everything.
Bai Shanshan's expression was confused for a moment.
She realized later: "Weiwei, what you mean is the living standard of a family with children...can't everyone do it?"
She always thought that was the life of ordinary people!
Ding Wei:……
Life is life, quality of life is quality of life.
Seeing Ding Wei's silent expression, Bai Shanshan couldn't help but be shocked.
…
How is it possible?
There are so many people in Liu Xing's family, but there is still enough space. There are at least four bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms. Let alone future generations, how many people still live in Tongzilou in today's imperial capital?
The entire TV series was filmed, and the clothes were basically the same.
Children have pianos, guitars and cell phones.
Just buying a tennis racket costs 1,000 yuan, buying a pair of swimming trunks costs more than 200 yuan, and making phone calls can cost 1,300 yuan...
If you were in an ordinary family, your butt would have to be spanked eight times.
Let’s take a look at what skin care products Liu Mei uses?
Zizitang, Estee Lauder, Givenchy.
How many people have to eat dirt to make enough money?
…
It has to be said that although Ding Wei is not a child when watching TV, she still has no idea about some brands, which does not lose the fun.
Let’s watch it again as an adult… Adina Fila tommy…
I'm so sad that I want to cry, okay?
When she thought of this, she was afraid that Bai Shanshan would not understand what distance was in the eyes of ordinary people, so she emphasized:
"If clothes cost more than 200 yuan, take screenshots. If shoes cost more than 400 yuan, take screenshots. If skin care products cost more than 200 yuan, take screenshots. Home furnishings. Anything over 500 yuan will take screenshots..."
"Then you can tell me which brand it is and what price it is..."
Bai Shanshan thought about it and couldn't help but sigh.
"How many times do I need to take screenshots?"
Why is everyone's life so difficult?
Ding Wei felt so sad after saying this.
She sighed: "Then you can make a rough collection? In short, this word should attract a lot of attention on the Internet now. You can use this to open up the situation first, and then slowly develop other... I think it should be quite good
suitable."
Even if it's inappropriate, that's okay.
After all, there is no real cost except time and effort.
For Bai Shanshan, who is now feeling empty inside, it couldn't be better.
…
After saying this, Bai Shanshan not only sat there thoughtfully, but also took a notebook to write and draw from time to time, probably making a preliminary plan...
Even little Brother Du was stunned.
He finally understood why Chen Siyu always talked about Weiwei and Weiwei when chatting...
This is too strong!
In comparison, a college student can be so outstanding, and he can think of so many things even after watching a TV series... Isn't an ordinary man like him too promising?
Little Brother Du's eyes were on his order book, which was densely written with the next itinerary, which made him feel a sense of courage and confidence.
But photography is a skill that everyone can master as long as they practice hard.
How can Ding Wei develop this kind of vision and insight? Some people think that such an outstanding girl is also Siyu's roommate. Does that prove... that all students at Ming University now have this ability?
In this way...
Is the gap between him and Siyu getting wider and wider?
The photos of luxury goods were beautifully taken, but little Du Ge's heart sank to the bottom of the sea.
…
In the next shoebox opened, there was the customer's customized card, charge sheet and receipt. The price of 13,000 also made little Du Ge's heart excited.
no!
It's okay if he can't compare to others now, but if he continues like this, sooner or later he will get further and further away from Siyu...
People, as expected, have to keep learning and making progress!
I heard that Siyu is currently taking courses from other departments at the same time. With her business so busy, she must seize every opportunity to study...
During this period of time, I am so obsessed with making money that I really don’t know how to make progress!
