Chapter 220 Publisher’s plan to double profits!

 A few days later.

The popularity of the news caused by Bai Di's horse-falling incident has finally subsided. The changes in life are not as drastic as Lin Zhibai imagined. That is to say, he will occasionally be recognized when he goes out for a run to exercise, but in fact, most people When I see a celebrity on the road, I don't dare to confirm whether I have recognized the wrong person. Even if I am really sure that I have recognized the wrong person, Lin Zhibai runs so fast, and he is too embarrassed to go up and ask for an autograph directly.

certainly.

Occasionally, some people will still have the courage to shamelessly ask for autographs, so the most annoying thing for Lin Zhibai now is to sign autographs. Hearing these two words gives him a headache. It is easy to think of the day when the horse fell off the horse, and the whole school wanted to ask for his autograph. scene, even though he basically wouldn’t refuse.

this day.

Saturday.

Lin Zhibai came to Shinhwa Publishing House again in a driver's car. As the president of Shinhwa Publishing House, he now has an assistant secretary and a driver.

 Go into the company.

Lin Zhibai felt that everyone was staring at him fiercely. Lin Zhibai had seen this kind of gaze a lot recently and was almost used to it.

 “President!”

 “Hello, President!”

 “Come on, President!”

 “President, I am your fan!”

 “When will the president release a new song?”

 “Is it okay to play “Xiaochou” in the company cafeteria today?”

 "It's better to play "Gong Xi Fa Cai"!"

After Lin Zhibai lost his horse, the employees of Shinhwa Publishing House knew that the president was Empress Bai. Everyone's attitude was different from before, and their eyes were obviously full of admiration. In other words, he had control over the company. Does it seem stronger?

 It’s also pretty good.

Lin Zhibai didn't put on airs, he would nod when greeted, and then he would hold a meeting with the middle and high-level people as usual.

 The middle and high-level employees were no different from ordinary employees. When they saw Lin Zhibai, everyone's eyes were very hot and full of curiosity, as if they had gotten to know the president again.

All right.

 It seemed that only Roda Bailey and Ren Jiachun seemed to be in a low mood, looking at Lin Zhibai with very complicated expressions.

  “Have a meeting.”

Lin Zhibai didn’t care what everyone thought, he knocked on the table and said: "Wang Zi, how is the progress of your software project over there?"

 “I’m doing everything as you told me!”

Wang Zi's mental outlook was completely different from before. One was because he discovered the potential of the software, and the other was that his mood changed slightly after learning that the president was Bai Di. Although he himself couldn't explain why, anyway, in his heart Quite beautiful.

"Um."

Lin Zhibai was quite satisfied with Wang Zi. He asked his secretary to keep an eye on him. This guy was not entangled with Luo Da. After losing his position as chief editor of the reasoning department, he has now devoted himself to the company's new projects.

  After a few words of encouragement.

Lin Zhibai spoke again: "I have a new plan, and it is still related to the Internet. The market for physical novels has been saturated, and we need to open up a larger market, so I decided to build a website called Qinzhou Chinese Network... "

  Qinzhou Chinese website?

 What the **** is this?

Everyone in the conference room was confused. For a moment, they didn't know what Lin Zhibai Baidi, the teacher who had been in the news recently, wanted to do.

"Is such that."

Lin Zhibai smiled and explained: "Recently, I have discovered that many people have the habit of reading some articles on the Internet. If this area develops, it is likely to impact the physical book market in the future, so it is better for us to take the initiative to develop the Internet market, I position Qinzhou Chinese website as an online novel website."

"Internet novel?"

 This explanation is understandable to everyone.

Roda immediately shook his head and said: "Although the public occasionally reads some short articles on the Internet, the reading habit of the vast majority of people is still to buy physical books and read books on the Internet. I have been publishing for so many years, but this is unheard of. of."

 This new president is quite capable.

 Forget about whatever listening to books you had to do before.

Now you are writing an online novel in a whimsical way?

 Publishing and distributing physical books is the fundamental model on which the book market relies.

Blue Star has not yet developed the concept of online novels. This is actually the project inspiration that Lin Zhibai recently got from the "Qidian Chinese Network" in his past life memory. This is a model that has been successful in previous lives, and has even promoted the model to The international community has also made some achievements and achieved a certain goal of cultural export. Don’t you see that Lao Hei stopped smoking after reading the online article?

 And in Blue Star.

Although there are no online novel websites yet, it does not mean that they will not appear in the future.

Since Lin Zhibai thought of it, he must strike first, and the successful examples in his previous life are not just the "Qidian Chinese Network".

 In the country of Xiaori.

 There is a top publishing house.

 It seems to be called "Kadokawa Publishing House".

 This publishing house has several websites.

　　They are Sneaker Bunko, Fujimi Fatasia Bunko and Dengeki Bunko!

These three websites are equivalent to the "three major online literary websites" of Xiaori Kingdom. Everyone can serialize novels on them. Many classic animations of Xiaori Kingdom are actually adapted from light novels published by these three major websites.

For example, "Sword Art Online".

For example, "A Certain Magical Index".

 For example, "My sister can't be that cute". Wait, wait, wait, these Japanese anime masterpieces are all adaptations of novels published by Dengeki Bunko. Works like these that have relatively good results on the website will be selected by Kadokawa Publishing House for physical publication, which means that these three websites can be responsible for Screen out works with certain market potential for this publishing house!

It is this model that Lin Zhibai wants to copy.

Blue Star It’s true that most people like to read physical books.

  But this is because Blue Star people don’t know the concept of online novels yet.

Lin Zhibai believes that after the establishment of online novel websites, there will definitely be a large number of online readers.

 As for the books that performed well on the website, Shinhwa Publishing House arranged for them to be published physically.

"The threshold for physical publishing is too high for some people. Many people who have dreams of writing want to take the path of publishing houses, but publishing houses only publish so many books every year. There are always some leftovers that we ignore, right? ?"

Lin Zhibai needs to convince at least half of the people to support his decision.

If you can't be persuaded, just enforce it. Anyway, I am the president. If it fails, pack up and leave.

 Succeeded?

That is naturally the result of my foresight.

"The Qinzhou Chinese website I want to establish will allow writers whose novels cannot meet the publication requirements to have a channel to publish their works, and let the majority of netizens decide the results of their works. If the results are poor, we will not There is no loss, but if the results are good, we can arrange physical publication..."

Lin Zhibai talks eloquently.

 The middle and senior management went from being confused to thoughtful.

Ren Jiachun suddenly pointed out: "If this website does not develop, we will suffer losses. Even if this website develops, we will also suffer losses. It will change readers' reading habits and impact the sales of physical books. By then everyone will If you go online to read books, what will our publisher do..."

Lin Zhibai was a little surprised.

Ren Jiachun's worry is actually not unreasonable. The other party is not deliberately trying to make excuses, and has a longer-term vision than others.

 Three uncle’s people?

 Can you become your own person?

With this thought flashing through his mind, Lin Zhibai smiled and said: "Firstly, there are differences in the styles of online novels and physical books. Secondly, reading habits are not so easy to change. Most people who like to read physical books will continue to read physical books. , besides, physical works can also be released through online channels, which involves another plan of mine, we can make an electronic product."

"product?"

 “E-book.”

 In fact, it was the Kindle developed by Amazon in the previous life.

This thing failed in the Chinese market in its previous life, but this model has a good impact around the world, because there is no problem with its model, but there are too many competitors in Amazon China, such as iFlytek, Aragonite, etc. Major hardware manufacturers have launched new e-readers one after another, squeezing them out of our market. "By then, physical books can also be read through e-books. What we want to sell is not hardware, but electronic paid reading!"

 “The impact on physical books will be even greater…”

“But die-hard fans of physical books will still buy physical books, and the other channels are in our hands. They pay our publishers, or pay for our e-books. There is not much difference in essence, but the way readers read will change. Something has changed.”

Lin Zhibai reminds everyone.

"What I can think of, others can think of, it's just a matter of time. Rather than waiting for others to do it first, let's share the cake first. You should know the importance of being first. Let's start voting. Who will do it first?" Who is for it and who is against it?”

 Lin Zhibai issued an ultimatum.

 The senior executives raised their hands one after another.

 The number of people who support it is obviously less than the number of people who oppose it, and I don’t know whether they support the project or Lin Zhibai the person.

But it’s enough to have someone’s support.

Lin Zhibai said: "Then let's start preparations for the website project." He began to name names and directly appointed senior executives who he thought were reliable after his own observation to take charge.

　　I don’t care about the uncle’s second uncle and third uncle’s people.

If these projects are successful, Lin Zhibai will be able to control the life and death of this group of people, because the group only cares about performance.

If Lin Zhibai has a solid track record, no one in the publishing house would dare to talk nonsense.

Website project failed?

 E-book project failed?

 Of course it is possible. After all, the market environment is different, but Lin Zhibai is now very capable of resisting risks.

 Because audiobook software is a project that is almost destined to succeed. If this project succeeds, it will not hurt if other projects fail. The profits will definitely be more than the losses.

 What if everything succeeds?

Then Lin Zhibai will be able to achieve the goal of six-fold the profit of Shinhwa Publishing House and completely become the real boss of this company!

Luoda, Bailey and Ren Jiachun also understood.

Lin Zhibai didn’t want to have any office struggles with them, he was just betting on the success of these projects.

 These projects can be successful, and whatever Lin Zhibai says is right.

 The losses caused by these projects were too great, so Lin Zhibai packed up and left.

 “He has too many ideas.”

 “Just let him mess around.”

 “We’ll still get our salary anyway.”

“If these projects of his can succeed, then I’m convinced and it’s okay for me to leave, but why should he do it?”

"software…"

 “E-book…”

"Internet novel…"

 “No one sounds reliable!”

“You’re taking such big steps, and you’re not afraid of losing your temper!”

   While the doubling is not over yet, please ask for a monthly ticket from everyone. I can promise you that Zilbai will have an extra update every day this month!
