On July 26, Wei Feng returned to Star City.He was accompanied by 50,000 sets of lucky rings that had just been printed.In this book, when Xiao Bai was discussing the outline with Wei Feng, he added some magical elements to it, and it began to have a little flavor of later online literature.After the manuscript was completed, several people in the studio read part of it, and even Zhang Xuemei and Liu Xiaoling felt that the book was fast-paced and made people's blood boil to stop.But what the market's reaction will be will have to be tested by the market to know.Therefore, including Xiao Bai, Lin Xiang, Tang Sanjie, Jiao Yang and the other two big booksellers were more cautious.Of the 50,000 sets of books printed for the first time, each of them ordered 5,000 sets in advance, all with the attitude of giving it a try.Because of this kind of magical realism theme, there are not many on the market at present, don't look at them are all veterans of the industry, and they are also uncertain.In addition, Xiao Bai also left 5,000 sets for Chunyu Bookstore, so that there are still 20,000 sets of 50,000 sets of books that have just been printed.The Lucky Ring book has a total of 680,000 words, which is divided into two volumes, and the price of the full set is 82 yuan."
Nephew, no one asks about your new book, is it because I have too few customers here?
I don't know what the sales situation of Boss Lin and the third sister is on their side?
”A week after the new book was released, there were very few lucky rings sold out by Chunyu Bookstore.Not only did no out-of-town customers come to pick up the goods, but even the small and medium-sized booksellers on this street basically had no one to pick up the goods.Liang Yuqi was not at ease, so she deliberately pulled Xiao Bai to talk about it after dinner that day.Because my grandmother had to take care of the two little ones, she rarely went to Xiao Bai's house.So Liang Yufen often went to the rented small courtyard to cook dinner, and Xiao Bai's family of three went back after eating."
Boss Lin and Tang Sanjie are in a slightly better situation, but they are also limited.I estimate that many customers are still in the wait-and-see period when our new book is launched, and it should be better after a while. ”In fact, in this situation now, even Xiao Bai is a little uncertain, maybe people don't like this type now?
But it doesn't matter, anyway, a total of 50,000 sets of books were printed, and the printing cost, distribution costs, and various miscellaneous expenses add up to 110,000 yuan.Lin Xiang, Tang Sanjie, and Jiao Yang, the five booksellers, have already eaten half of the goods, which is equivalent to helping Xiao Bai share most of the costs.250,000 sets of books were sold to them at a 45% discount, and Xiao Bai returned a total of 92.25 million yuan, and even if the remaining 250,000 sets could not be sold, he would only lose 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan at most."
If you know what to expect, then let's wait and see."
Liang Yuqi felt that her abilities were limited, and she couldn't play much role in this matter.She didn't feel it if she didn't come to the provincial capital, but after opening a store here, she found that there were so many ways to do business.She felt that the only thing she could do was to keep up with her nephew and do her best to keep the bookstore running.In short, this set of new books sold little by little, and Liang Yuqi decided that when customers came in the future, she still had to recommend this set of books to others.The next day.Xiao Bai came to the studio in the morning, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that the atmosphere in the room was not right.Zhang Xuemei and Jiang Xiaozhou were listlessly proofreading the four famous capture masters, Liu Xiaoling was guarding the telephone in a daze, and Wei Feng was like a frosted eggplant, and the whole person was wilted."
Director Xiao, I'm sorry, I didn't write this book well."
When Wei Feng saw Xiao Bai, he felt even more uncomfortable, and immediately stood up and apologized.Zhang Xuemei, Jiang Xiaozhou, and Liu Xiaoling all looked at Wei Feng a little worriedly, for fear that Xiao Bai would be angry at him."
Hey, what's going on?
Isn't it possible that the new book will hit the street, besides, how long has it been, who knows if this book will turn around in the future?
Lao Wei, you don't have to apologize, according to what you mean, the outline of this book is mainly the idea I put forward, so should I also apologize to everyone?
It's inexplicable!
”When Xiao Bai saw Wei Feng's appearance, he was angry.Co-authors can only fight with the wind, and they have just encountered a little difficulty, and they are discouraged?
Wei Feng and the others have long been accustomed to the new terms that pop up from Xiao Bai's mouth from time to time, of course they understand it when they hit the street, isn't it just that the new book has failed?
Seeing that Xiao Bai was really angry, these people breathed a sigh of relief.Because Xiao Bai didn't blame Wei Feng for the root cause of the unsuccessful sales of new books, the boss just didn't like everyone to be depressed when they encountered a little difficulty Zhang Xuemei exchanged glances with Jiang Xiaozhou and Liu Xiaoling, and then what should I do."
Sit down, old guard.This book is an attempt by us, and if it fails, we can sum up our experience well, it's not a big deal.In the past few days, you have also helped Aunt Zhang proofread the four famous capture masters, I hope it will be delivered and printed within a week, no problem, right?
”Xiao Bai felt that he couldn't let Wei Feng be idle, as long as he was idle, he would definitely think crankily.Therefore, he assigned tasks to several people, and completed the proofreading work in a week, even if there were three people working together, it would never be easy."
Okay, I'll get the job done."
Wei Feng immediately expressed his determination, Xiao Bai waved his hand, signaling him to go about his own business, don't sit there and continue to be annoyed.Liu Xiaoling saw that Xiao Bai had solved the problem in just a few words, and couldn't help but smile at him, there is always a way to persuade others, as long as he stands here, everyone will feel that they have a backbone in their hearts.From this day on, Zhang Xuemei, Wei Feng and Jiang Xiaozhou worked overtime continuously, especially Wei Feng and Jiang Xiaozhou, who were busy until one or two o'clock in the morning almost every day, and finally completed the proofreading of the four famous arresting meetings on August 5.Xiao Bai consciously wanted to exercise Jiang Xiaozhou, so he asked him to follow Wei Feng to Xintun and print this set of books as soon as possible.The book is actually divided into 5 classic short stories, which tell the story of the cold-blooded murderer, the bloody hand of chasing life, the iron hand and the poisonous hand, the ruthless jade hand, and the five stories of the four famous hunters fighting the thirteen murderers of the Jingshi.The book has a total of more than 30 million words, issued as a single book, priced at 580 yuan.Xiao Bai decided to print 300,000 copies for the first time, and told Zheng Ziming that the printing fee for the book might be slower, and agreed to pay it off before the National Day.Zheng Ziming has no opinion, he now has more liquidity in hand, and he doesn't care about the payment period of more than half a month and 20 days.For this book, Lin Xiang and others did not hesitate.On August 15th, the four famous booksellers went on sale, and their five major booksellers bought 30,000 books each.The book, from the very beginning of its sale, has been doing very well.For example, like Chunyu Bookstore, it can sell one or two thousand copies almost every day, and as for Lin Xiang, their sales will only be greater.After Jiang Xiaozhou came back from Xintun, he returned to the warehouse.The delivery of goods was handed over to him to arrange, and Wu Changlin and Wei Jianjun had to listen to his command.It's late August, and school is about to start again.Xiao Bai basically stays with Liu Xiaoling these days, and the two of them are in charge of checking out.However, the workload of the two of them is not large, and now counting the Spring Rain Bookstore, the studio is equivalent to cooperating with six booksellers, and the books and periodicals published and distributed are mainly distributed by them, and the studio has less direct contact with other large and small booksellers.Under this model, the studio's profits are undoubtedly reduced.But at the same time, the five booksellers Chunyu Bookstore do not count, after all, they are left hand to right hand.also helped Xiao Bai share most of the risks and financial pressure.For example, the lucky ring, which has not been sold well until now, in fact, Xiao Bai has not lost much money.What's more, Xiao Bai's last printed 200,000 sets of drinking horses and flowing flowers have finally emptied their inventory, and now the books that are pressed into inventory have become lucky rings.Last time, Xiao Bai printed a total of 200,000 sets of Ma Mingfeng Xiao Xiao and 200,000 sets of Drinking Horse Liuhuahe.Among them, Ma Mingfeng and Xiao Xiao returned a total of 104.76 million yuan, deducting printing costs, publishing and distribution fees and other expenses, and the profit was 4.93 million yuan.A total of 9.46 million yuan was returned, and the profit was 50.14 million yuan after various costs and expenses.Together, the two brought Xiao Bai a net income of 99.44 million yuan.The reason why the profit of drinking horses and flowers is higher is because these 200,000 sets of books are basically sold at a 55% discount.And Ma Mingfeng Xiaoxiao's big head was still given to Lin Xiang and other major booksellers at a price of 45%."
Sister Xiaoling, go back and make a benefit salary payment table, and I will write you the specific number of each person now."
In the short term, it was impossible for Xiao Bai to print these two sets of books anymore, so he decided to pay benefit wages.He wrote down the distribution standards for each person, and then handed it to Liu Xiaoling to let her make a watch.Xiaoling's sister took it and took a look, Zhang Xuemei was 1,500 yuan, Wei Feng was 1,200 yuan, Jiang Xiaozhou was 600 yuan, and Liu Xiaoling and Wu Changlin were both 400 yuan."
Brother Xiao, I have it too?"
Liu Xiaoling was pleasantly surprised, in addition to making accounts, she would also follow to collect money from time to time.Unexpectedly, she still has a benefit salary."
You and Lao Wu have both, you hurry up and make a watch, and send it tomorrow."
Today is Sunday, and Wei Feng and Zhang Xuemei are not there.So Xiao Bai asked Liu Xiaoling to make a watch in advance and send it to everyone tomorrow.Previously, Xiao Bai had a deposit of 196.49 million yuan in his passbook, plus this sum of 99.44 million yuan, a total of 295.93 million yuan.Xiao Bai withdrew 0.93 million yuan of it and handed it over to Wei Feng as the studio's expenses.Naturally, the cash for tomorrow's benefit wages will come from this.As a result, the amount of his bank deposit became 2.95 million yuan.For Xiao Bai, don't be stingy with the money you should give.If you shouldn't give it, don't be generous.At the beginning of the establishment of the studio, a complete set of systems was formulated, and there were clear calculation standards for wages, benefit wages, etc.Only bonuses and red envelopes can be sent as he wants.As for the backlog of lucky rings, Xiao Bai didn't bother to think about it, even if it was a failed attempt, he wouldn't lose any money, at most it would be a vain effort.
