Reborn to be a scholar and a copywriter to buy a house nationwide

Chapter 166

All the novels published during this period have been changed, and now Sun Chao's two vests are like wolves in the publishing industry.

Other small publishing houses stagger as much as they can. If there are too many novels published together, readers will choose one selectively.

In the beginning, when Sun Chao's reputation was not so high, each publishing house followed its own plan. When Sun Chao's Tomb Raider series came out, other publishing houses consciously avoided this novel.

Later, after [Mouse]'s novel became more and more popular recently, everyone began to avoid [Mouse]'s new book when it was released.

This morning, the Literary Publishing House also started to promote Sun Chao's new book. They also want to take advantage of this gust of wind to promote "Full-time Master".

But during this period of time, Sun Chao's two vests are going to publish new books, which makes other writers and publishing houses very uncomfortable.

In the past, three publishing houses divided the majority of the cake for novel publishing, but now Boshu Publishing House also joins in the fun, and now it is divided among four.

Among the other two publishing houses in the top four, Boshu Publishing House was just watching the show. They didn’t compete for the novel market at all at first. Boshu Publishing House mainly aimed at textbooks and reference books for various grades. This is enough for them to eat their mouths full of oil.

But is it too hot to make money, especially in the past six months, seeing that Huaxia and Literature have made a lot of money, and Boshu Publishing House has also begun to set foot in novel publishing.

But the other one of these four families is suffering, and the remaining one is Book Heaven Publishing House. This publishing house is holding an emergency meeting to discuss this matter.

It was only now that I realized it was because of a change in the people in Book Heaven.

The president has retired, and the vice president, Jiang Quan, has just become a full-time employee for a month or two, but the old people in his family have passed away one after another. This year, Book Paradise Publishing House can also be said to be leaderless. The vice president, Zhang Yun, just took office two months ago, and is now publishing The society is officially on the right track.

In the past, the four publishing houses all went hand in hand. If you published a blockbuster book, I would also publish a blockbuster book. The three publishers competed for each other and looked down on each other, and the other one was as famous as these three for its teaching materials.

Now there are faint signs of three laggards in Book Paradise, and now Boshu Publishing House is also jealous of this cake, and now several novels have been published one after another in the past few months.

Cao Jie is the author named [Feng Mu] on the Internet. The novel on ancient costumes that ranked fourth in the essay competition last time was published by Bo Shu Publishing House, and the sales volume is not bad.

Readers don't care which publishing house the book is published in. As long as the book is of good quality and looks good, there will be no shortage of readers, and Cao Jie's books sell well.

In the morning, Book Paradise Publishing House was holding an emergency meeting. They were trying to come up with a solution. The market was occupied by Huaxia and Literature Publishing Houses. Now Bo Shu Publishing House also extended its hand to this piece of cake.

The deputy editor-in-chief, Zhang Yun, sat on the upper hand, and the conference room was full of directors from various departments. Zhang Yun is a woman in her 30s, and it is definitely not easy to get this seat.

Many of the executives here are older than her, but in the two or three months since she took office, she has revitalized the disorganized publishing house, and it can be seen that this woman is not simple.

Zhang Yunxian said: "Now our book publishing has been squeezed and there is no room for survival. Now our publishing house depends entirely on the magazine part. Let's brainstorm and talk about our own ideas, and see if there is any way to break the situation?"

After Zhang Yun finished speaking, there was a complete silence in the conference room.

Seeing that everyone was watching and caring, Zhang Yun became very angry.

"Since you don't have anything to say, I'll arrange it. Don't say that I'm embarrassing you."

After finishing speaking, he arranged without waiting for others to speak: "I don't care what department you are in, all of you are dispatched! Find a way to recruit all the writers from the other three houses, no matter how many writers these writers have signed with other publishing houses. points, all of which are one point higher than other publishing houses."

"If anyone can poach me the hottest recent [Mouse] and [Like a Dream], I will give you a bonus of 2 yuan if they can poach one!"

"I will give a bonus of 5000 yuan to whoever finds a writer who sells better books in other publishing houses."

As soon as Zhang Yun finished speaking, the discussion started.

Zhang Yun paused for a few seconds to let everyone digest it. What Zhang Yun said was the amount of bonuses she had discussed with the president in advance.

If there is no bloodshed, my own publishing house is waiting to go bankrupt.

Their publishing house is not like other publishing houses with a large number of shareholders in the leadership. Book Heaven has only one boss, and it is relatively decentralized.

This is the vice president who was appointed because he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Also, in this paper solicitation activity held by Qidian, whoever can sign the books of the top three authors will get a bonus of [-] yuan per person."

The meeting room immediately exploded.

Some old employees worried: "President, if we do this, will we directly offend other publishing houses to death?"

Zhang Yun smiled contemptuously: "Our publishing house is like this, maybe they are all watching jokes behind their backs, and our colleagues are enemies, so we can coexist peacefully if we don't do this?"

"We're not the first to do this kind of thing. Before Huaxia Publishing House changed its president, did the Literature Publishing House rob people less?"

"For the past six months at our publishing house, you can see how many writers we have."

"You can contact writers from other publishing houses, not necessarily these three. Other publishing houses have better-selling writers, and you can try to ask for a manuscript."

"Then if the writer we recruited is still serializing novels, what about the serializing novels?"

When Zhang Yun heard someone below ask this question, he said domineeringly: "As long as you can poach this author, we will pay the liquidated damages, and you don't have to worry about the ISBN. I can help you poach me."

Of course Zhang Yun said this because he also asked the boss this question, and the boss replied to Zhang Yun in such a domineering manner.

Zhang Yun added: "The premise is that after paying the liquidated damages for this book, we have to make some money."

The actions of Shutiantang this time are bound to stir up the dead water in the circle of writers and publishing circles.

In the past, when a writer finished writing a book, he always cooperated with the publishing house that published the previous book.

The score of the writer's last book will directly affect the evaluation of the publishing house, and the writer's share depends on the score of the book.

If the writer continues to cooperate with the original publishing house, the conditions will be more favorable.

It's not that everyone doesn't want to poach people, but if they increase the share to lure this writer but don't make money, isn't that offending people and making money and making money?

"It would be best if we can find writers who have signed with us for a long time."

In fact, Zhang Yun knows very well that it is the most ideal situation to poach six or seven big-name writers.

But it will not be easy for a publishing house to lose three or two big-name writers.

"..."

As soon as Wu Zhenzhen arrived at the office in the morning, she received a call from the front desk before her butt was hot.

The front desk told her on the phone that the people from Huaxia Publishing House were coming.

What's the matter here now?There are no novels to be published on their website recently?
"Let them wait in the conference room for a while, and I'll pass right away."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Zhenzhen walked towards the meeting room.

Xu Chang chatted with the president for a long time in the last two days, but he forgot the next day. Xu Chang didn't sleep well last night and got up early in the morning.

He was afraid of what would happen if the literary publishing house took the lead.

In fact, Xu Chang came here for nothing today. Sun Chao will start school tomorrow, but there is no time to sign the contract.

When Wu Zhenzhen heard Xu Chang's intention to come, she was still very surprised.

[Mouse] This author's current fame is such that a publishing house will come to ask for publication of a new book as soon as it hits the shelves?
Before that, the starting point was holding two cash cows, no wonder they were so tightly hidden.

Wu Zhenzhen became happy again after being sour for a while.

Wu Zhenzhen can't make the decision herself, and the new book is only serialized now.

"I'll contact the author later to ask. It's not up to our website to decide which publishing house to choose."

Xu Chang was a little anxious when he heard what Wu Zhenzhen said. They were Zhao Liang who was the starting point of their contact before.

Generally, after Zhao Liang, the editor-in-chief, is confirmed, this matter will be almost inseparable.

Now [Mouse] changed to a new website, and I couldn't contact [Mouse] here without even asking about the conditions and directly kicked the ball.
