Chapter 291
With Li Shushan's guidance, Wen Qingyu only felt that his goal was more clear.
She was still comparing the advantages and disadvantages of many publishing houses. For example, this publishing house is better at packaging new people, that publishing house is especially good at marketing, and can invite popular writers to recommend something
However, she found that these were not the most important, because after Li Shushan constantly brainwashed her, her commercial debut "sword breaks the sky" was definitely the best. Even with its reputation on the Internet, it must sell well. After that, she was inexplicably full of confidence. She only felt that any packaging and marketing were empty. With her own strength, One book can seal the God!
Therefore, she began to favor those small publishing houses with higher royalties and more sincerity.
Compared with those publishing houses that contact Wen Qingyu through the Internet, it is undoubtedly the publishing house that the president of the publishing house personally comes to the door.
The name of this publishing house is called spring and autumn ancient and modern publishing house. It can't be regarded as a small publishing house, but its situation is worse than those small publishing houses, because it is on the verge of bankruptcy!
Originally, it was an old publishing house with perfect sales channels. However, due to wrong development decisions, its high-quality authors continued to lose, the sales of its magazines plummeted, and the main published works did not have a good market response at all.
Under such circumstances, the former president of the spring and autumn Publishing House died of illness, and Xu Rui, the daughter of the former president, took over the post.
Xu Rui is only thirty years old, which makes the staff of the publishing house more worried. They just think that this old private publishing house is bound to be finished. After all, the market competition is really becoming more and more fierce.
What they don't know, however, is that Xu Rui, the daughter of the former president of the publishing house, was not optimistic about his father's decision. In order to turn the spring and autumn ancient and modern publishing house from a medium-sized publishing house into a large publishing house, he spent a huge price to sign up for those traditional writers with great influence in the literary world and publish those so-called award-winning works that are extremely literary but not commercial.
As a result, the ancient and modern publishing houses in the spring and Autumn period did not have a good profit situation and became worse. This is the behavior of making money at a loss!
Xu Rui felt that her father was simply blinded by some large publishing houses engaged in this set. He was deceived!
Those traditional authors whose fame is greater than their strength are not trustworthy at all. The authors who large publishing houses really rely on are those who have commercial appeal.
As a result, Xu Rui's father fell ill because of this wrong decision. However, until he died of illness, he didn't feel that his heart was wrong, but he was too anxious and didn't bet on the right person.
There are such talented authors in this world. Their works can not only sell well, but also win awards and explode reputation. In this way, authors who take into account business and literature and art should perhaps be called literary giants!
After Xu Rui succeeded the president of the ancient and modern spring and autumn publishing house, she first agreed to the termination of some authors who really thought they had commercial appeal because of their little fame.
In fact, these authors just want to take advantage of the fire and see if they can continue to improve their treatment. As a result, they never expect that the new president should be so decisive.
Then some employees who don't trust the new president also choose to change jobs. They already think that this spring and autumn ancient and modern publishing house is going to be finished, so their resume is not good-looking. It's better to change jobs before it's finished.
Xu Rui also didn't retain these dead people who have completely fallen behind the times in her eyes. She is more willing to recruit more passionate and energetic employees. It's best not to have any prejudice against works of this type of commercial novels, but to like reading works of this type.
Yes, in Xu Rui's eyes, the way to save the spring and autumn ancient and modern publishing house is to unswervingly adhere to the business line, not to engage in fancy and misty literary and artistic works, and not to sign up for writers who are all famous by literary awards, because their works won't be liked by the public at all. The public just buy their works and put them on the bookshelf.
Such authors are all cancer writers. They blow a few of them. Her father has been cheated. Of course, she has learned a lesson completely.
After dealing with everything of the spring and autumn ancient and modern publishing house by means of thunder, Xu Rui naturally devoted her energy to the most important thing, that is to find several works with real commercial value and sign potential newcomers who can grow into the backbone of the publishing house!
This matter is very important, and the difficulty of completing it is also very high, and now the bad situation of spring and autumn ancient and modern publishing houses has made her fault tolerance very low!
After all, publishing a book is really like gambling. No one can guarantee that it will catch fire
Under such circumstances, the work "the sword breaks the sky" appeared in front of her. She felt that God must give her a chance to counter attack!
Xu Rui is a lover of business novels. She often visits a novel forum called "cooking wine and talking about books". Many readers who also like to read business novels will share their favorite works on this forum.
The novel forum of "cooking wine and talking about books" has been slaughtered by the conscience work of "sword breaking the sky" serialized on the Internet these days!
Everyone frantically discussed its world outlook setting, upgrading system and plot development. Between the lines, they were full of worship for the author, and then said that it was not enough. I really hope the author will publish the book quickly, and they will buy it!
It was with this curiosity that Xu Rui also went to see the work. Of course, she completely went into the pit, and then came up with a bold idea - why can't she sign the work and its author?
No one needs such a phenomenal work more than the spring and autumn ancient and modern publishing house. She must seize this perfect opportunity!
Therefore, when other publishers only kept making promises to the author of "ink stained copper stink" on the Internet, hoping to sign this seemingly inexperienced newcomer at the least cost (if the really knowledgeable old author can write such high-quality works, she must submit them directly rather than publish them on the Internet at will), Xu Rui took direct action, She made an appointment with Wen Qingyu on the Internet about the time and place to meet in reality. She wants to show her greatest sincerity in person!
Wen Qingyu, who was taught by Li Shushan that he only wanted to make money, was also full of expectations for a personal visit by the president of a publishing house.
