I have to say that it is extremely refreshing to leave professional matters to professionals.
Since the website was handed over to Wang Qinghe, Ding Wei has basically not worried about it anymore.
And if she logs in without any problem, she can always find some little surprises on the website.
When I chatted with Zheng Minghe and others, they also praised the management very much. There was no resistance at all to the management that ordinary technical staff would have.
I have to say that this is also Wang Qinghe’s personality charm.
Ding Wei felt that her arrangement was absolutely right.
…
For Wang Qinghe, facing such a small website that is still in development, what he did was very simple——
Spend money.
Why sell your precious time when you can do it with money?
First, taking the company's budget, he hired a secretary for himself.
The kind who works carefully and down-to-earth, works hard and knows how to drive.
Then I found a designer from my circle and casually arranged it for the office building. If there was anything that needed to be changed here, I asked the secretary to do it.
The office building is already in a renovated state. The drawings provided by the designer are just adjustments in various aspects, and the workstations are designed to be more pleasing to the eye and reasonable. The workload is not large and it is not expensive.
It's just rather trivial.
The poor young man received such an important arrangement just after he took office. The boss let him go all the way and he was left to figure it out all by himself.
As a result, he lost 8 pounds in a week and became completely tanned.
But for this reason, I received an additional bonus of 2,000 yuan this month, so I am even more motivated.
He also felt that his boss was the most kind and kind boss in the world, and if he followed him, he would have a bright future.
…
Next, spend money.
Also in his own circle, in order to be cheap and easy to use, he found a professional HR person to work for him.
Within three days, Li Lifengxing hired a front desk administrative cleaning lady and even arranged for outsourcing and delivery of employee meals.
In the past three days, Wang Qinghe finally did some work, which was to divide the salary and benefits and arrange for HR to chat with the eight part-time college students.
This HR resigned from his previous company because he was pregnant.
Nowadays, the children are still young, no one is watching at home, and they cannot afford the high workload of a large company.
Out of trust in Wang Qinghe, I found a leisurely job here.
Although the salary is lower, the time is relatively flexible, which is better than having no income at home.
So he works very hard.
Besides, with her previous qualifications in a Fortune 500 company, wouldn't it be easy to comfort a few employees in a small website?
In less than three days, the five part-time computer science students who had been deceived were rushing to the company with enthusiasm and did not even plan to apply for campus recruitment.
Which school should I go to to recruit?
If they are looking for jobs through school recruitment, can they easily enter the Fortune 500?
Can Fortune 500 companies arrange dormitories for them?
Can I still apply for staff meals after arranging dormitories?
The employee meal packages are ready, and the monthly salary, five insurances and one housing fund are deducted. Can I get 5,000 yuan after deducting it?
no.
The senior who had excellent grades in the previous class now has good development prospects in the company, but he works overtime in a dark way, without food and accommodation, and only gets 7,000 yuan a month.
Over the past year, my hairline has receded a layer.
This also made the few students who saw the reality tremble, but they haven't found a partner yet.
There are some who make tens of thousands a month now, and there are also those who make tens of millions just by selling some software... But they are obviously the best among the best, and everyone is self-aware.
Even if food and accommodation are included, I have to stay in this company for a few years before I can talk about it!
Besides, the new office space has been rented, which is really grand.
Maybe their development prospects will get better and better.
If you really want to work in another company, even if a newly graduated Langtouqing has a little work experience, which company will offer such a high salary from the beginning?
So what are you talking about? Just do it. This unit is so good.
…
Ding Wei had no choice but to be convinced by all the beatings and incentives.
She looked at the report Wang Qinghe gave her, which also included three newly recruited intern editors, and she couldn't help but wonder:
“Does our website receive that many submissions now?”
We need to recruit three intern editors...you know, before, editor Guo Mu was doing it alone.
Although there were plans to recruit people, Ding Wei's original idea was to have Guomu recommend senior and experienced editors.
Save time and money to bring in new people.
Wang Qinghe smiled.
He gave HR recruitment requirements. Intern editors did not need to be too professional, even newcomers could do it. When facing Ding Wei, he naturally had his own ideas.
"I have studied online literature for a while before, and I found that the biggest difference between online literature and physical literature is that we don't stick to one style."
"So, the corresponding editors should also be eclectic."
"Judging from my experience, the more senior editors have their own unique views on articles, it will be difficult for them to escape from this shackles."
But for online novels, even if there are various flaws in the writing, as long as it is readable, it is worth including.
therefore……
"You can't just use magazine editors. Sometimes their requirements are a little more demanding, which is not conducive to the rapid development of our website."
"In addition, everyone has their own unique preferences. If they don't like the subject matter of some books, they will naturally be conflicted."
"Over time, the novel theme of the entire website will solidify."
Wang Qinghe had indeed studied this industry in depth, and Ding Wei felt that it was quite appropriate just to listen to the suggestions he made.
"So, if these experienced editors are willing to work full-time, they can be promoted to editor-in-chief. They will be responsible for copyright operations and development. At present, they mainly focus on physical publishing."
After all, these qualified editors all know several channels. As long as some excellent works are promoted, as long as the website can sell the copyright of one piece a year, with a little publicity, it will attract more authors and readers.
Even the copyright of a short story can be sold for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, but as long as the author is willing, they will naturally be happy to see it come to fruition.
After all, it is really impossible for some well-written short stories to sell for hundreds of thousands.
…
When Wang Qinghe said this, Ding Wei could roughly understand his thinking, but the other party still explained to her carefully:
"But other editors can serve as ordinary editors. On the one hand, they can communicate with the authors and help them solve some minor problems that cannot be solved. On the other hand, they can also be used for preliminary screening and review of manuscripts."
Otherwise, it would be like a high school gold medal tutor teaching elementary school students addition and subtraction. Wouldn't it be overkill?
Editors in the physical literature editorial department also have to be divided into different levels.
"Three intern editors cross-check, so the possibility of us missing good works will be greatly reduced."
"At the same time, if you are unanimously optimistic about a certain work, you can submit it to the editor-in-chief."
"On the one hand, the editor's workload is reduced and he can better develop other projects."
"On the other hand, the probability of selecting good works is also greatly increased, making it easy for the editor-in-chief to use it for operation."
In this way, everyone's work will be much easier, and the subject matter will be avoided to the greatest extent possible.
Ding Wei didn't expect this.
All her knowledge of online literature comes from reading novels, or from bits and pieces of information she heard on forums and exchanges with friends.
Everything was still being explored and developed, and she had never thought about the matter of editors cross-checking manuscripts before.
Now it was left to Wang Qinghe, but it seemed to be done as naturally and smoothly as breathing.
Ding Wei looked at each other, and Wang Qinghe smiled at him, his expression still so cheerful and natural, and the small moles at the corners of his eyes moved with his expression, making people feel that he was a real young man.
What a...unique appearance and character.
…
but……
"In this case, how many chief editors are needed? They must be senior editors in the industry."
Wang Qinghe nodded.
"Yes, you have a unique contribution channel in the magazine, and you rely on your connections to get to know some senior and powerful editors."
He emphasized again:
"Old editors like them have far more channels than you and I can imagine. Publishers even regularly request manuscripts from them and let them operate them. If the copyright can be sold, no matter how much or how little the money is, for the authors
It’s all a great motivation.”
"At the same time, it can also increase the visibility of our website and enhance their confidence. This is much better than if you promote it 100 times."
Ding Wei was thoughtful.
really.
Who writes novels and doesn’t like having their books published?
Wasn't it true that what her friend in her previous life cared about most was copyright?
It's a pity that I didn't sell a copy in the end, so I can only live off the subscriptions and rewards from the website.
…
Ding Wei was completely relieved.
"Okay, I'll find someone for the copyright operation and editing. You've arranged the other things so well and thoughtfully. I'll leave all these things to you. I really don't know as much as you do about this aspect."
Although she is the real big boss, Ding Wei can only be humble and learn from such talents.
Wang Qinghe was not modest at all, but instead sneered proudly and proudly:
"How old are you, and now you want to compare with me, then won't my life at such an old age be in vain?"
Ding Wei:……
But the problem is, you are standing in the face of a young man!
Ding Wei's face was expressionless: It's so inconsistent to say you are so old when you look so young.
She couldn't complain, and now she wanted to laugh, but she was worried that Wang Qinghe would feel disrespected, so she could only divert her attention——
"Then I'll ask if I can find a few senior industry editors and get them on board as soon as possible."
Wang Qinghe nodded: "Okay, the part-time editor now is doing quite well. I have read every novel she has screened. Although the requirements are stricter, there may be some pretty good works."
"But those who have been given contract quotas have a variety of themes and are quite readable. Some novels are even of good enough quality to be published physically."
Ding Wei was pleasantly surprised - she indeed pulled Guomu over. This was the right step.
But the other party still refuses to let go and works on the website. Ding Wei really feels that it is a pity.
She sighed secretly in her heart, but found that Wang Qinghe had a touch of complacency on his face, and suddenly he also laughed——
"Guo Mu certainly has a good sense. You praise her so much... Could it be that she told you that your novel can be published directly?"
The company now has three bosses, and each of them has a work under his name. If one day he uses the back door to help his novels climb the charts, it will probably be a bloody storm.
Ding Wei couldn't help but laugh a little when she thought about this scene.
Wang Qinghe's expression calmed down and he coughed:
"No, no, that's too much praise..."
But his eyebrows slightly twitched at the corners of his eyes, and it was clear that he was still proud.
Ding Wei thought to herself - with this performance, maybe the editor actually said such things.
…
When I returned to school from a drastically changed company, the campus was already deserted.
It’s the May Day holiday, so the excitement is outside.
Ding Wei returned to the dormitory and immediately went online, and typed the editor Guomu again.
This life is no longer 996: Here?
Editor Guo Mu sent a haggard and tired expression, and now he weakly typed a reply: "Here."
It's not that it's weak, the website has been publicized now, and the benefits for authors are unprecedented nowadays. Suddenly, a large number of authors, new and old, want to try it.
The number of submissions is increasing day by day, and now the mailbox is full every day. Editor Guo Mu and her husband stay up late every day, and they are preparing to apply for double wages.
No More in This Life 996: Are you sure you don’t want to join our company?
Next, we will recruit some intern editors, so that you will not be under so much pressure to review manuscripts. From now on, you will be mainly responsible for copyright recommendation. You will have more money but less work, and you will be close to home.
She sincerely wanted Guomu to become her editor-in-chief, but he refused to work full-time.
"I'm doing a good job at my current job, and there's no pressure. When I get older and work harder, sometimes I can't keep up with my energy."
Having more money and less things to do is close to home. This sentence really touched her.
Editor Guo Mu: How about this? Since you have decided to hire an intern editor to review the manuscript, my job will be much easier, so you might as well not give me a basic salary.
Editor Guo Mu: As for me, I will continue to select some high-quality works from your website, and then provide them to the publishers I have cooperated with before, and discuss the price by the way.
Editor Guo Mu: If we can negotiate well, you can give me additional bonuses and commissions.
…
Thinking about it this way, it seems okay.
Although she couldn't get her to agree to join the job, for Ding Wei, this result couldn't be better. She nodded immediately:
"Can."
No More in This Life 996: I will discuss the specific sharing standards and bonus standards and will reply to you later.
Then, he threw the question directly to Wang Qinghe.
After all, she took off too fast, and she still doesn’t understand many of the standards in this industry.
It is now 2006.
Before genuine reading became a habit for everyone, and when film and television production was far away, physical copyright sales were the largest source of income from novels.
If we really want to thrive, I'm afraid we have to wait another two years.
