Start earning money as the girl next door

"Oh!" Liu Mengcheng asked, "Based on the current collection, how many subscriptions will there be after it is put on the shelves?"

"If the subscription ratio is 10 to 1, it would be 800 subscriptions, right?" Zhao Han said casually, "Basically, it's 10 yuan per thousand words."

"4000 words a day, doesn't it cost 40 yuan a day?" Liu Mengcheng said happily, "It's equivalent to a salary of more than 1000 yuan a month!"

"This is divided between two people." Zhao Han said, "On average, the monthly salary is 600 yuan, which is 800 yuan lower than my previous monthly salary of 200 yuan."

"But I feel that if I can get such royalties steadily, I will be very satisfied." Liu Mengcheng looked like he had no future.

"This is only the first week of recommendations, and there will be more next week! It has to be promoted for at least four consecutive weeks, and then it will be put on the shelves next month." Zhao Han said, "Even if the subsequent recommendation effects are not as good as this week, they are expected to increase a lot. .”

Zhao Han was amused by Liu Mengcheng's unaware look.

If he only paid two cents for the manuscript fee of a thousand yuan a month, and each person received a few hundred yuan, could he still ask Liu Mengcheng to cooperate with him in writing a book?

pattern!

She is too small now.

I didn’t realize at all that the number of users of online literature paid websites, led by Pastry Chinese Network, is growing rapidly.

Now, many authors may feel that they are very excited to receive a royalties of RMB [-].

After all, it is a change from 0 to 1!

In the past, I only posted my own articles on the website. A very small number of them were so popular that they were picked up by publishing houses and took the offline publishing route.

Others, those who were not selected, generate electricity with love and earn less than half a penny.

In October 2003, the Chinese Pastry Network experimented with 10 paid works, and the highest monthly income was more than 8, and the other seven were several hundred per month.

But that was only the beginning. Every month thereafter, the number of paying readers grew rapidly.

At this time, the overall environment of the paid reading market can be said to be changing with each passing day.

If the author who made a few hundred yuan at the beginning does not give up the serialization, in the next few months, it will most likely increase to more than 1000 yuan, more than 2000 yuan, or even 5000 yuan a month... In a few months, it will follow the VIP payment Readership grows, and a rising tide lifts all boats.

It is expected that when "Rebirth of the 1990 Literary Era" is put on the shelves, the market size will be different from when the batch of books was put on the shelves in October.

Maybe the market has expanded tenfold in just a few months?In the future, it will continue to expand...

To put it simply, Zhao Han was writing online articles at this time, which was the fastest-growing stage of the dividend period for online articles, and it was also the stage where he could taste the sweetest fruits.

Competition is not as fierce as in later generations, and the market continues to gain growth.Unlike later generations, there are more and more authors, and they are compiling existing resources.

"If I have a collection of 1500 and a subscription of 20, the remuneration for a thousand words can reach [-] yuan. I will be satisfied!" Liu Mengcheng expressed her wish at this time sincerely.

"Pfft!" The tea in Zhao Han's mouth spurted out, and he almost burst out laughing.

These days, the price of VIP paid subscription is still 2 cents per thousand words.

Subscription 1500?20 yuan for a thousand words?

Is this all you can do to make a difference?

Liu Mengcheng in later generations will be a big boss in Wanding!

In addition to thousands of subscriptions, there are also channel royalties. In addition to channels, there are also physical books. The writing is slower, tens of thousands of words a month, but in total, one word is equivalent to one yuan.

In the future, you will be able to earn one yuan per word you write!

just now……

Just have the ambition of 20 yuan for a thousand words?

Grass is a plant...

I choked on my tea and kept coughing!

Seeing Zhao Han extremely happy made him sad, and he was choked while laughing.

Not only did Liu Mengcheng not sympathize with him, he also laughed at him heartlessly: "You deserve it! You deserve to look down on me, you think I'm stupid, you think I'm slow in writing!"

Although Liu Mengcheng's tone was full of disgust, but... during this period, she felt that she really learned a lot!

Originally, Liu Mengcheng worked behind closed doors and had little knowledge of writing novels. However, during his cooperation with Zhao Han, it was completely shattered.

The main thing that was broken was that she used to focus on the best of the best and regarded some side details as the focus of writing novels.

But Zhao Han's writing style, which doesn't pay attention to details at all, still makes the story very beautiful.The writing is a bit poor, but it made him realize that he is good at making up stories and can really do whatever he wants.

Even the story written in Zhao Han's style made her enjoy reading it, although she couldn't read it in detail.

In the process of polishing and revising Zhao Han's manuscript, Liu Mengcheng also generally understood Zhao Han's writing methodology.

It is really focused on advancing the story, and the writing style is polished and so on. I would not say that the writing style is vulgar, but it can only be said to be slovenly.

It is precisely because Zhao Han's novel writing style has a lot of room for improvement, so if Liu Mengcheng makes random changes, the improvement effect will be obvious.

In the past, she wrote articles by herself, writing [-] words in one day. During the rewriting process, the effect may be most obvious in the first few times. However, the effect will be very weak after the subsequent revisions, and the time invested is not worthwhile.

Zhao Han's mandatory requirement shortened the time she spent polishing the text, from revising it three times to revising it twice.

The improvement in writing is definitely not as significant as the three revisions and three transcripts.But with one less change, the speed is increased by one-third.

Chapter 35 Fried Chicken

At six o'clock in the evening, the sky was just starting to get dark.

Take Liu Mengcheng out for dinner.

Zhao Han was surprised to find that Zhang Lihua's stall had expanded to include a tent with electric lights and four tables.

People are cooking outside the tent, and the oil smoke will not smoke the inside of the tent.

"Business is getting bigger, Lunch Box Fairy!" Zhao Han looked inside the tent, where three tables were seated. They didn't mainly serve lunch boxes, but the guests ordered dishes, and Zhang Lihua cooked them on the spot.

"It's hard to sell lunch boxes at night," Zhang Lihua explained, "It's better to sell them at noon."

"Many uncivilized bosses have limited rest time at noon, and they don't get off work completely. It's too short and too troublesome to go home and cook. Going out to a restaurant is too luxurious, and packed lunches are the best choice." Zhao Han With a very understanding look, "After work in the evening, I really get off work. If you have time, you can eat at the food stalls and wait for the hot dishes to be fried."

"That's the truth. So, I changed my business and sold lunch boxes at noon and food stalls at night." Zhang Lihua looked back at the three tables of guests and smiled.

The lunch boxes cost 5 yuan each.

It has been changed to freshly fried dishes. There are cheap vegetables that cost two or three yuan a portion, meat dishes that cost more than five yuan, and expensive ones that cost ten yuan.

Rice is given for free, but it is only given if you order.We also sell drinks, so we can make more money.The price per customer increased from 5 yuan to more than [-] yuan.

"Brother Zhao Han, sister Mengcheng, you are my great benefactors. You can order whatever you want, and it will be at the price of a box lunch of five yuan a piece." Zhang Lihua still has the attitude of repaying kindness.

Zhao Han looked at the area of ​​her tent at night and knew that things were not simple.

Although this area is set up for stalls, the stall owners are fighting openly and secretly among themselves. How can they occupy such a large area without a backer?

When Zhang Lihua set up a pushcart stall before, it wasn't just that he had no money, but... he couldn't compete with the local snakes in the competition for territory.

You can only shrink into a small ball, occupying less space, and pretend to be pitiful, so that you won't be ostracized.

But now she dares to be so arrogant, occupying a large area and setting up four tables. This is because the stall owners here generally know that she has a backer.

The backer is Zhao Song from the nearby police station.

These local gangsters bully people mainly because they know the gangsters nearby, and the gangsters are afraid of the police.After Zhao Song came to the neighborhood several times, Zhang Lihua set up a stall here and established a firm foothold.

It is also for this reason that Zhang Lihua gave Zhao Han VIP treatment. For a box lunch price of 5 yuan, you can have a feast.

"Can you make fried chicken? KFC kind?"

Zhao Han looked at Zhang Lihua's stall, where a pot of boiling oil was frying various skewers, such as ham sausage, dried tofu, kelp, pork... and in the stall's food reserve, he saw fresh chicken pieces, and couldn't help but ask .

"Okay..." Zhang Lihua thought for a while and said, "The preparations are not sufficient. Thirteen spices, chili powder, pepper, soy sauce, salt, and sugar are marinated for a few minutes. Starch and flour are used as breading powder and spread on the outside. , then dip it in brine, and coat it with flour a second time. Fry it in a pan, and it will roughly have the texture of fried chicken sold in a few stores. Specifically, I don’t know what the difference is in taste, because... I don’t have it. Ate KFC.”

"Never tried it? How could you ever learn it?" Although Zhao Han didn't know how to make other fried chicken.

But after hearing what Zhang Lihua said, I felt that this was the way to go.

"When I was young, I wanted to eat the KFC in the department store when I went to the city." Zhang Lihua said regretfully, "My dad thought it was expensive and wouldn't let me eat it. After I went back and thought about it, I made my own version of fried chicken."

"It's amazing!" Liu Mengcheng couldn't help but exclaimed.

Zhao Han glanced at Zhang Lihua and said, "You should be able to afford KFC now?"

"That KFC chain store has closed down. I don't know where it went." Zhang Lihua said regretfully.

Zhao Han couldn't help but feel surprised when he heard this. A chef with such a good craftsmanship still misses KFC because he never had it when he was a child?

In fact, fried chicken restaurants like KFC are selling a brand and management model all over the world.

Real fried chicken recipe, one place, one look.

For example, KFC in the United States is definitely not as delicious as KFC in China. The reason is that the brand is that brand, but the fried chicken recipe is not that recipe.

If KFC sells it according to the American formula, dogs won’t eat it.

When KFC entered the Chinese market, it was impossible not to know that China is a country with great culinary skills. If it followed the American food desert version of fried chicken, it would not only ruin business, but also affect the dignity of the United States.

People who have eaten the American brand come here because of its reputation. In the early stage, they paid a headache to buy it. If they were sorry for the price, they would be scolded.

It is with this consideration in mind that when KFC entered the Chinese market, the first thing they did was to ask local Chinese chefs to develop a fried chicken recipe that was more suitable for the country.

After developing a product that could impress people, they began to use the fried chicken improved by local Chinese chefs as the flagship product. As a result, it developed better in the Chinese market than in the American market.

Of course, there is no technical moat for fast food such as fried chicken. What exists are mainly brand and management advantages.

American-style fast food entered the Chinese market at a time when the Chinese people's admiration for foreigners was at its strongest. Therefore, with the aura of American brands, even garbage can be treated as treasure.

In a few years, the rise of domestic products in various fields will essentially mean that the filters of foreign brands are becoming increasingly devalued.

On the contrary, raising the banner of domestic products is more likely to be favored by the market.

This is also 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi!

This transformation does not happen overnight, but is a process of gradual development as national strength develops.

A plate of fried chicken, a plate of leeks, and a plate of fried stinky tofu.

Zhao Han and Liu Mengcheng sat in the food stall tent, eating rice and vegetables.

Fragrant.

The other guests in the tent were noisy.

"Lady boss, please serve the wine!" The guests at the table were all enjoying their meal, "I don't want Gujing Yuye, I want Lao Bo Gong!"

"Here we come!" Zhang Lihua served the wine with a beaming smile.

Selling drinks is actually more profitable than selling food. You have to cook the food yourself, and you directly earn the price difference on the drinks.

Gujing should be the largest liquor brand in the province, but it is not as arrogant as later generations, and even spends money on CCTV advertisements every year.

Today's Gujing is still mainly low-end and mid-range.

Gujing Yuye is probably the lowest-end bottled liquor in the local liquor market. In the 90s, Gujing Yuye authorized a bunch of OEM brands and smashed the Gujing brand into pieces.Even though the OEM label was later withdrawn, it still took the low-end route, costing 2 yuan a bottle.This is the price at a small shop. Zhang Lihua sells it directly for 3 yuan.

Lao Bo Gong's small shop sells a bottle for five or six yuan, and Zhang Lihua sells it for 10 yuan.

It may not seem like you earn much, but you add up to a small amount and increase your revenue scale.

At this time, Zhao Han had almost seen the prototype of Zhang Lihua's future restaurant.

Chapter 36 Gifts

Saturday.morning.

Zhao Han, who was lying in bed, was woken up by a knock on the door.

"Here we come..." He shouted, then he put on his coat and ran straight to the door from the bedroom.

Open the door.

There was an SF express delivery guy standing outside the door, holding an express package and saying, "Mr. Zhao? Your express delivery has arrived, please sign for it."

"Okay!" Zhao Han picked up the pen and signed the word Zhao.

Accept the express delivery and close the door to see off the guests.

Zhao Han shivered coldly, trotted back to the warm bed and got dressed.Then, open the package with bare hands.

This is also the first time Zhao Han has received express delivery from online shopping since his rebirth in 2003.

The thing is a second-hand laptop bought on Taobao. The configuration is very rubbish. The advantage is that it is cheap. I bought it second-hand for 3500 yuan.

By the way, Taobao was officially launched in May 2003. In the early days, due to confidentiality, Alibaba even thought it was a strong competitor.
