Chapter 250 Assumption
Lin Chuyi briefly told Yuan Qizi about her vision for the bookstore, and concluded, "I've already thought of a name for the bookstore, it's Wanjuanshu. In two days someone will hand you the deed, land deed, and decoration drawings for the Wanjuanshu storefront. You need to personally oversee the decoration of the Wanjuanshu storefront to ensure that it can open normally on the day I set."
Yuan Qizi stood up and bowed in response.
Lin Chuyi pulled out two folded papers from his sleeves and handed them to Yuan Qizi, who quickly reached out to take them, "Miss, what is this?"
"These are the types of essays and writing requirements I have set. If someone comes to apply and wants to make money by writing and selling their articles, I will ask them to read the writing requirements carefully and choose at least one of the story types I have specified to create. Then, I will emphasize to them that they should use more vernacular when writing."
"The target audience of our novels is ordinary people. If the writing is too erotic, ordinary people will not understand it and will not want to continue reading. If no one reads the book, it will not sell well. Then, no matter how well the story is written, it will be worthless to us. Do you understand this principle?"
Yuan Qizi nodded repeatedly. He understood this point deeply. Although he had left the training base, he did not give up learning.
However, his own learning foundation was not deep, and without the guidance of a teacher, his learning efficiency was much lower than before.
When he was studying on his own, he was often in a state of knowing the results but not the reasons. He always felt that the contents of the book were obscure and difficult to understand, which made him confused and easily distracted.
If the collected works only pursue gorgeous words or concise text, then such articles may be sought after by literati and scholars, but they will definitely not be loved by the general public and will not gain the mass market. Even if the literati praise it to the sky, this work is a failure.
"Let's talk about the price of the purchased works. I'm not sure what other bookstores are paying for story picture books. You can ask your brothers to go out and ask around. Our pricing will be based on the current opening price of our peers and we will set the price accordingly."
"If the other party's work does not meet the manuscript requirements I have set, I will directly reject it on the grounds that it is off-topic. If the other party's story meets the manuscript requirements but is poorly written or the story is old-fashioned and has no novelty, I will offer a price of 60% of the market price. If the other party is willing to sell, we will buy it. If the other party is unreasonable, I will directly blacklist him and not do business with him in the future."
"If the writing is average, but the story is tight and fascinating, we can buy the work at 1.5 times the market price and print and publish it ourselves. If the writing is excellent, but the story is average, we can also take it and give it a try. If both are excellent, then of course it would be great."
"The calculation method for the first time royalties for these three is the same, because different people have different views on the same thing. It is useless if we just think that the work is good. It has to be recognized by the market."
"We can give each author three chances. As long as their manuscripts are successfully accepted once, and the subsequent manuscripts are not too bad, Wanjuanshu will accept their works at 1.5 times the market price."
"As long as one of the published works has a retail volume of more than 1,000 copies, it proves that the work has been successfully written, and then you can take the initiative to contact the author of the book to make an appointment for the next one."
“If the other party agrees to continue the cooperation, we will increase the original royalties to twice the market price. In addition, we will prepare a profit-sharing contract for the other party, promising that after the new book sells 1,000 copies, 10% of the proceeds from continued sales will be given to the author. With such tangible benefits dangling in front of them, I don’t believe they will not treat their work with care.”
Yuan Qizi swallowed his saliva. Not to mention those writers, he was a little tempted after hearing what Lin Chuyi said about the treatment. He would try to write when he had the chance. He just didn't know if the works he wrote at his level would be pleasing to the girl.
No, no, this idea was quickly rejected by Yuan Qizi himself. He had only studied for such a short time, what good works could he write? It would be better to concentrate on completing the task assigned by the girl, so as not to be distracted and lose focus, and end up doing neither of them well.
Thinking of this, Yuan Qizi quickly calmed down and listened carefully to Lin Chuyi's instructions.
"…As for the weekly report, you are better than me at collecting information. I only have one request, which is that the content published on the news page of the weekly report must be accurate and true."
"If the report distorts the facts or exaggerates, it may not have a big impact once or twice, but if it happens too many times, it will leave the public with an impression of unreliability. Once this impression is formed, it is difficult to eliminate. When the public's trust in the weekly newspaper disappears, it will be the beginning of the weekly newspaper's decline. So you must remember this point firmly."
Yuan Qizi nodded seriously, indicating that he had remembered it. After listening to Lin Chuyi's words, he felt very stressed.
Originally, the girl asked him to come to Lanzhou City to recruit beggars from the streets as his followers. He thought the girl wanted him to be the leader of the Beggars' Gang in the storybooks, gather beggars from all over the city, and secretly collect information for her.
Yuan Qizi was able to recover from a sickly little beggar and now became a small boss who manages dozens of people. All the turning points in his life were thanks to the girl.
He was grateful to the girl, and he did whatever she asked him to do. He thought that this task would become his main task in the future, but he did not expect that the girl would arrange other jobs for him, such as opening a bookstore and being the shopkeeper.
He was not stupid. Through Lin Chuyi's narration, he knew clearly that this bookstore was different from that other bookstore, because he had never seen a bookstore that published a weekly newspaper, and he had never even heard of it.
The girl took a different approach. Not only did she come up with the idea of publishing a weekly newspaper, she also divided the sections of the weekly newspaper clearly. Once the weekly newspaper was successfully launched and made influential by them, the profits it would bring to them would be simply immeasurable.
The girl has many talented people under her command. Not to mention anything else, there are dozens of people in the Qingzhou training base alone. Although he is slightly better in terms of performance, through that period of time spent together, he found that everyone in the base has extraordinary talents in some aspect. If the exam items are broken down into smaller items, he may not be a match for others.
If the other students are still in the growth stage and cannot take on the big responsibility, there are still three teachers. Each of them is extremely capable, especially Master Wen. Master Wen knows everything about astronomy and geography, and there is almost no problem that can stump him.
