Chapter 11 The Book That Triggered Sales
"Zhu Xian"
Looking at these two big words, Editor Lin was a little confused, but he still looked patiently and was immediately fascinated by this.
Su Zhe was not very surprised about this.
The reading fun of "Zhu Xian" is definitely not much worse than Jin Yong's martial arts. Perhaps it is not as good as these martial arts masters in terms of writing style, but it goes without saying that it is attractive to readers. Once Zhu Xian appears in the previous life, he will dominate the list.
Su Zhe believes that it is more attractive to ordinary people in Xiangjiang.
Fantasy fairy tale, compared to martial arts, can definitely be beaten in terms of worldview alone, just like the later science fiction Marvel movies, those action movies can't be sold.
"Boss, this book?"
Zhu Xian, Su Zhe only wrote 30,000 words, but he really couldn't continue writing. Su Zhe was going to buy a computer, but his handwriting was too slow.
"Editor Lin, what do you think of this book? Can it attract readers and increase newspaper sales in our newspaper?"
"It's so good." Editor-in-chief Lin was a little excited. He was the old editor, so naturally he could see whether some novels had the potential to explode.
The novel in front of me definitely has the potential to explode. Although the novel is a bit vernacular, it doesn't matter. Ordinary readers don't care at all.
"Boss, the novel you found from there, how many words does this novel have?"
"I wrote this novel myself. According to my estimate, it is about one million words."
Su Zhe smiled and said.
"Boss, you wrote it." Editor-in-chief Lin was a little surprised and then quickly reacted, "I didn't expect that you are still a writer, boss."
At this moment, Editor Lin has put away his original contempt for Su Zhe. As soon as this novel is released, Editor Lin believes that the status of the boss in the future will be greatly improved.
These days, the status of literati is still good.
Think about it, that Master Jin Yong, in terms of assets, he cannot rank in Xiangjiang, but his status is really no worse than some assets of one billion.
This is common in the world, and writers, especially great writers, have been sought after by the upper class in all countries around the world.
"Since you can, then leave these to you, and the newspaper layout is given to you. As for the magazines in the newspaper, I will not move for the time being."
Starring Daily also has a semi-monthly magazine, but its sales are even less scary.
Su Zhe is not ready to change for the time being. Let’s see if Zhu Xian can make a big hit. Once he can, he can transform the bimonthly magazine into a special novel serialized newspaper.
"Editor Lin, the newspaper will give it to you. Zhuxian Novels, I will give it to you on time every day, and you can find someone to calibrate it,"
"By the way, Xinghuan Daily will send a new newspaper. You can offer discounts with those newsstands and newsstand owners. In a week, the profit will be 50%. I think these people will highly recommend our Xinghuan Daily because of their interests."
Su Zhe suddenly proposed a small strategy.
"But, once the boss does this, every daily report will lose money."
"It doesn't matter. A daily newspaper does not lose much. Even if it's 100,000 yuan, it's only a loss of 10,000 yuan. I still have to lose this amount of money. If I really sell 100,000 yuan in a week, even if there is no profit rebate, I think I will make a profit in the future. Moreover, the newspaper earns advertising fees. If the sales volume is really enough, the advertising fees alone will make me enough in one month, right?"
Since Su Zhe wanted to make money, he naturally had a closer look at the newspapers. Most of the newspapers made money by advertising fees.
Simply selling newspapers, you really can't make much money.
"Okay, boss"
After hearing Su Zhe say this, Editor-in-Chief Lin did not refute it anymore.
So Xinghuan Daily started again under the formulation of Su Zhe.
In the past few days, Su Zhe has been writing novels often to learn about the sales of Xinghuan Daily. On the first and second days, the profit rebate increased to more than 5,000 copies.
On the third day, Xinghuan Daily broke out. On the third day, more than 13,000 copies were sold at once, and on the fourth day, it reached 24,000.
On the seventh day, it reached 50,000 copies. This data is definitely the result of a front-line newspaper in the central area. In the entire Xiangjiang River, it is almost in the top 20.
Of course, because of the profit rebate, many newspaper stands and newsstand owners strongly recommend this data. Su Zhe’s eighth day is the most important one.
Su Zhe came to the Star Ring Daily again.
"How is it? How much sales can you expect today?"
Su Zhe found Editor-in-Chief Lin and several other editors. Because of the sharp increase in sales, Xinghuan Daily has recruited several more employees in the past two days, one of whom is an advertising editor.
"Boss, today the printing yard has printed 30,000 copies and has already sent 20,000 copies. I asked someone to print 10,000 copies again. I guess today, even if it doesn't reach yesterday, the sales volume of 30,000 copies can still be achieved."
Editor-in-chief Lin smiled: "Boss, we succeeded"
It was indeed successful. The sales volume of 30,000 copies is a bit different from the top newspapers like Ming Pao, but in the Hong Kong Island General District, it is already a front-line newspaper.
As for the entire Xiangjiang River, the newspapers of Xinghuan Daily do not have such a large channel.
But everyone has information, and newspapers do not need it very much, because once you have enough content, someone will come to your door in person.
"very good!"
Su Zhe laughed when he heard this.
"Boss, there is better news, because the sales volume of our newspaper office has increased sharply. Several merchants have signed advertising fees with us. Now the advertising fees for newspaper offices have reached 300,000 in a month."
Advertising editor Chen Wenguang also sought credit for Su Zhe.
"Okay! Editor Chen, you didn't disappoint me. Everyone did a good job and doubled the bonus this month."
When Su Zhe heard this, he waved his hand.
"Boss Attractive"
When everyone heard this, their faces also showed an excited look. Their bonus was originally very high, and if they doubled, their income this month would probably reach the income of the previous six months.
Moreover, as newspapers increase their income, their bonuses will probably be higher by the end of the year.
Everyone knows that their boss is quite generous, so now the newspaper staff are very dedicated, at least they are very active in their work.
Su Zhe naturally saw the expressions of everyone. It was not a problem to use money to solve problems. Although he paid a lot of bonuses, Su Zhe earned more.
Now sales have increased significantly and advertising fees have suddenly become. Now, 300,000 yuan per month is 3.6 million yuan a year. Excluding taxes, employee salaries, etc., Su Zhe alone has nearly 3 million yuan in income per year.
This is still the same this year. Su Zhe knew that the revenue from advertising fees was more than that.
According to general sales volume of 30,000 copies, and the annual revenue of general newspaper advertising fees is at least 5 million.
Moreover, the sales volume of Star Ring Daily obviously has increased potential.
Therefore, relying solely on the newspaper, Su Zhe's annual income of 5 million is definitely not a problem.
Of course, compared with those top newspapers, these incomes are indeed not high. Mingbao's annual advertising revenue is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
But Su Zhe is confident in the potential of Star Ring Daily.
