Chapter 257 First Issue


    Gong Xue went to Guangdong.


    Guangdong and Hong Kong have always been closely connected and have a strong culture of worshiping gods, especially the Chaoshan area, which is very suitable for the background of "Mom Love Me Again".


    The crew shot in all directions, including Guangzhou and Chaoshan. As a pioneer in reform and opening up, Guangdong is full of mystery, making people who have never been there very curious.


    Gong Xue, aside from her worries about separation, is actually quite willing to travel far away and take a trip!


    forecourt.


    Chen Qi has three offices. Currently, there are too few people, so he only uses one. The second one is used as a conference room, and the third one is still empty.


    At this moment, in the conference room, the first all-staff meeting of "World Wonders" magazine is being held. There were 6 people who were supposed to be present, and 6 people actually showed up. The attendance rate was 100%!


    There are also two non-staff personnel, Chen Jianjun and Yu Xiuli.


    Each person holds a sample magazine in his hand.


    The same size as "Story Club", 32 format, the front and back covers are in color. Dai Hanhan designed a cover with the starring character of "Tai Chi" as the composition. The content is all in black and white, and the price is marked on the back: 0.25 yuan.


    That''s 2.5 cents.


    The number of pages is 100 pages.


    Content includes:


    The founding statement co-drafted by Chen Qi and Liang Xiaosheng, a long series of "Five Phoenix Rising Sun Sword", a novella of "Tai Chi", exclusive highlights and pictures of "Tai Chi", two Western novels "Puppet Master" and "I, Robot", and a masterpiece Enjoy the serialization of "Journey to the Center of the Earth", an adult fairy tale by Zheng Yuanjie, plus some jokes, popular science knowledge, etc.


    The main focus is martial arts at home, while the main focus is science fiction abroad, and there are even elements of film and television entertainment.


    At the initial stage, it can only be a hodgepodge, and readers will not be selective. It will be subdivided later as it develops.


    Chen Qi spoke a few words first, and then said: "In order to achieve good results for our first issue, we specially invited two senior comrades to come and give lectures today. I welcome Comrade Yu Xiuli''s speech with applause!"


    "Whoosh!"


    Yu Xiuli rolled her eyes and said: "I am in charge of sales at Xinhua Bookstore. I can responsibly say that serious literary magazines are still the mainstream now, but popular literature is gaining momentum, and the most popular one is "Story Club" .


    Popular magazines were also founded in various places, such as "Wulin" in Guangdong and "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times" in Hubei.


    The domestic market is vast and it’s a good time to enter. Your content is very informative and interesting and very attractive to readers. Don’t worry about this. But I think Western novels are too long, and those readers who are not very educated may not like to read them. You can add a small survey to ask readers which novel they like the most, and we will make adjustments in the next issue. "


    "Write it down! Write it down!" Chen Qi said hurriedly.


    "Remember it! Remember it!"


    Liang Xiaosheng wrote the records himself.


    Dai Hanhan even flattered her: "Listening to the holy teachings is like enlightenment. We will definitely study hard, spread our knowledge, and pass it on from generation to generation."


    Chen Qi was amused and said: "Well, let''s do this. We''ll ask readers to send back the questionnaires, and we''ll hold a small lottery. Ten people will be selected and given some gifts, or they''ll be given free journals for half a year. There are only three issues in half a year. It''s not a loss at all."


    “This is good, we must pay attention to the interaction with readers!”


    Liang Xiaosheng wrote another stroke.


    "Okay, okay, now I would like to invite Comrade Chen Jianjun to speak. Comrade Chen Jianjun is a veteran of the Xinhua Bookstore business. He has rich experience. He goes through wind and rain every day, and his wife and children are not taken care of. It is very hard and he is a good example for everyone to learn from. ”


    "Whoosh!"


    Chen Jianjun coughed and said expressionlessly: "Let me talk about the procedure.


    When a magazine is launched, it is usually first published in a bookstore. You need to contact the salesperson of the bookstore and submit a document, which is to introduce how good your magazine is, what content it contains, etc.


    The salesman looked at it and placed an order based on his personal judgment.


    The purchase price of Xinhua Bookstore has different standards depending on the publisher and the book. If the price is high, the discount will be higher, and if the price is cheap, the discount will be lower, usually 30-70% off.


    Your price is 2.5 cents, which is average, so you can get about 50% off.


    Once you have accumulated a certain number of readers, you can go to the post office. Of course, you must indicate the method and address for mailing subscriptions on the first issue. "


    "So writing materials is important?" Liang Xiaosheng asked.


    "Yes, I''ll tell you how to write it, and then leave it all to me, and I''ll contact those salesmen. I''ve been in business for 20 years, and I don''t dare to talk about other places. I''m familiar with North China." Sigh!


    The employees took a breath of human kindness. These two old comrades really take care of the young people. Look how good they are to our president, as if they were their own children!


    "If the sales are good, can I negotiate the price later?" Liang Xiaosheng asked.


    "Can!"


    "How many copies of the first issue do you think is good enough to sell?" an editor asked.


    "Nowadays, magazines are easy to sell, and they can easily cost hundreds of thousands. But the expectations for the first issue must be lower. 70,000 to 80,000 is a good result, because you have to go through a process of accumulating readers."


    "Can it be advertised? For example, in newspapers?" Liang Xiaosheng asked.


    "Yes, if you have the resources."


    "Yes! I know people!"


    Chen Qi raised his hand.


    Liang Xiaosheng asked again: "Then we advertise for others in magazines. Does this violate the regulations?"


    "There is no clear statement, but since newspapers have started advertising, if you can get sponsorship, you can give it a try."


    "Yes! I know people!"


    Chen Qi raised his hand again.


    "Stop it, or get out if you don''t listen!" Yu Xiuli scolded.


    "Oh~"


    Chen Qi shrank his neck and did not dare to say a word.


    Yu Xiuli and Chen Jianjun answered various questions very patiently. Everyone was a novice, so they felt enlightened after being given such guidance. The first issue has been scheduled to be released in January next year, and now in November, there is still enough time.


    Chen Jianjun accepted the job without hesitation and immediately discussed with Liang Xiaosheng how to write the materials.


    Yu Xiuli was okay for the time being and came out first. Chen Qi also pushed the car out and said: "Yu..."


    "What?"


    "mom!"


    He chuckled and said, "You guys were so impressive just now. Good guys, the old comrade calmed them all down. Look at their eagerness for knowledge."


    "Stop flattering me and send me back. I still have to go to work!"


    "Okay, sit down!"


    Chen Qi dusted off the back seat and drove his mother to Dashilan.


    On the way, he deliberately passed by the Qianmen Watchtower and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Comrade Zhanying! Just stand still and don''t move. I''ll come as soon as I go to negotiate a big deal with you for tens of thousands of large bowls of tea!"


    "What happened?"


    Huang Zhanying, who was busy, vaguely heard someone calling him, and asked his friends in confusion.


    "I didn''t see clearly, someone seemed to be shouting!"


    "What to shout?"


    "I don''t know, so I just yelled at you."


    "Shout at me?"


    Huang Zhanying glared, put his hands on his hips and said, "You are asking around all over the city, who doesn''t know about my front door, Director Huang? Who teases me in the street? Where did he come from? If he dares to come here again, I will kill him!"


    (No more…


    Everyone is stocking up on grains, and several shops in the community are out of rice! I had to buy two bags of noodles)
