Huang Han continued, "While focusing on production, we cannot relax our ideological work. Frequent meetings are a must.

Emphasize equal pay for equal work, reward those who work hard and punish those who are lazy, and encourage employees of the same type of work to compare with each other, but we must severely criticize and educate employees who make random comparisons.

You don’t have to be polite to those employees who constantly compete with the factory director and technicians for bonuses. It’s okay to kill them as a warning to others.”

"That's right! There are differences in wages and benefits. Should apprentices be compared with eighth-level workers? Can general cadres be compared with ministers?"

Huang Handao, "You can talk about these words at the meeting, emphasizing the correct position and correct mentality. There are also differences in socialist wages. Only with large contributions and high incomes is it in line with the trend."

"Well! After listening to your words, my heart is much brighter. From now on, I will not be the first to be the first rafter, and let the technician who develops qualified parts and improves the self-production rate of the 'Sunshine Brand' rice cooker to win the highest prize."

"By the way, don't preach dedication to others, give real money in real money and don't play with empty money. This is the true respect for talents.

As long as you can ensure that the backbone of the technology research team at the Sunshine Electrical Appliance Factory will receive better treatment than the factory director, the Sunshine brand rice cooker will definitely get better and better."

"That's right! If you are willing to pay, you can definitely recruit more technicians, and graduate students can also be hired, and you will definitely be able to complete the self-production of all parts earlier. The factory's profits will be higher, and there will be no losses at all."

Huang Han's words were not only heard by Qian Guodong, Huang Daozhou was also deeply touched. He said, "I am also prepared to do this. What is money? If you don't bring it with you in life, you won't take it with you in death. Give more to those who contribute."

I'm happy to be a technician!"

Huang Han said, "You are all managing a prosperous factory now. As long as you stick to the bottom line of not cheating, truly respect talents and treat talents well, you will be fine for smooth development for more than ten years."

…

Song Danhua, director of the sales department of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, called his superiors to request 300 more copies of this issue of "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times" but failed to do so.

Because the municipal and provincial bureaus simply don't have the goods, they have contacted the publishing house and asked for a quick reprint.

"Legends of Modern and Ancient Times" sold more than two million copies in one issue, not now, but four years later, in 1986.

In the initial stage, there were only tens of thousands of copies per issue. This time, because several editors were unanimously optimistic about the work "The Rise of Great Powers in the Late Ming Dynasty", a record number of 100,000 copies were printed.

The first time the circulation hit the 100,000 mark, the "Legends of Ancient Times" team was a little nervous, but also very looking forward to it.

Who knew that God would be kind and the editors only had to suffer for two or three days before receiving many calls for replenishment.

One hundred thousand copies were far from enough to satisfy readers. The refreshed editor-in-chief gritted his teeth and decided to publish another one hundred thousand copies.

This decision is undoubtedly a preparation to take the just-broken sales record to a new level.

This shows that the editorial department of "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times", which is on the rise, still dares to fight hard and is courageous!

Reprinting is easy. Editors don’t need to use their brains. They can just notify the printing house to print more. When the next issue’s typesetting was put on the schedule, there was a problem because the manuscript was not sent by "Lunfeng Huipi" for a long time.

Fortunately, the editor in charge had detailed information about "Lunfeng Huibi" and the phone number of the hydraulic components factory.

Ever since, Huang Daozhou received a long-distance call from Hubei.

"Hey, I'm Huang Daozhou, who are you looking for?"

"I am the editor-in-chief of the editorial department of "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times". My surname is Yuan. You should be Lunfeng Huibi!"

"Hello, hello, this is me, what are your instructions?"

"The response to your work has been very good. We have already started preparing for the layout of the next issue. I am contacting you today to ask, has the second manuscript been completed?"

"Already done!"

"Has it been sent?"

"Nope!"

"Then please hurry up, it's best to send it today!"

"Here, Editor-in-Chief Yuan, I'm in a bit of trouble here!"

"I'm not the editor-in-chief, I'm just the editor-in-chief. If you have any difficulties, please tell me."

"I'm a little embarrassed to speak!"

Huang Daozhou often discussed business, so bargaining was no problem. He understood the situation and knew that this issue of "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times" was selling well. He believed that Huang Han's request for thirty yuan, one thousand words to settle the next issue's manuscript fee was not excessive.

point.

He also thought about asking for more for his son.

On the other end of the phone, Editor Yuan was silent for a moment and then said, "I understand. You probably think the manuscript fee is too low, right?"

"Hey! It's not easy to climb the grid day and night. It's hard work!"

"Well, how about I give you fifteen yuan for a thousand words this time?"

There is a tacit understanding among the editorial board of "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times" that the amount of royalties should be no more than 10 cents per volume.

I bought 70,000 copies of the last issue, as long as I paid no more than 7,000 yuan in royalties including tax. In fact, I paid less than 5,000 yuan.

This issue is known to have sold 100,000 copies. If the reprint of 100,000 copies is still sold out and there is no return, the 20,000 yuan remuneration for this issue will be within the normal range.

The actual expenditure was only 5,000 yuan.

Editor Yuan therefore happily added three yuan to a thousand words.

"..."

Unexpectedly, Huang Daozhou was silent on the other end of the phone, only some noises could be heard.

"Hey! Hey! Comrade Huang Daozhou, why don't you bite? Isn't that too little? Our magazine has rules, and this is already an exception."

"Why don't you forget it and let me take a look at it and talk about it later?"

"No! We're waiting for your book manuscript to be typeset!"

"Alas! It's not easy to write a popular work! Your bid is not a little lower than others. I'm afraid..."

"Family? Which family is it?"

"I can't say that, but there are quite a few!"

"Then tell me, how much do they pay?"

"Forty dollars for a thousand words!"

"Forty? How dare you speak? Our editorial department has never given such a high remuneration to any author!"

"No, don't force it. It seems that you have to emancipate your minds! It doesn't matter, business is not a business, and I still want to thank you. Come to Sanshui County when you have time, and I will buy you a drink! Goodbye!"

"Hello?"

This Zodiac Zhou has hung up the phone.

Editor Yuan was furious for a moment and said fiercely, "Forty, why don't you go and grab it?"

This price is really high. At present, "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times" has really not given such a high remuneration to any writer.

Because based on the calculation of 300,000 words per volume, 40 yuan for 1,000 words, the manuscript fee expenditure is 12,000 yuan. Calculated with the circulation of 7,000 copies of the above issue, wouldn’t the gap in the extracted royalties be as high as 5,000 yuan?

Editor Yuan came to the editor-in-chief's office angrily. Before he could speak, the editor-in-chief pointed to a pile of letters on his desk and said

"Xiao Yuan, look at these hundreds of letters. They are all written about their thoughts after reading "The Rise of Great Powers in the Late Ming Dynasty". I think we need to be bolder. We might as well print 300,000 copies of this issue!"

Editor Yuan was stunned and said, "If there is a backlog due to printing so much, the loss in returns will be too great."

"Haha..., based on my experience, I can definitely sell 300,000 copies, and maybe another 100,000 or 200,000 copies will be printed!"

"You have confidence in "The Rise of Great Powers in the Late Ming Dynasty"."

The editor-in-chief nodded and said, "The last part is just the beginning, the plot has just unfolded, and the second part is getting better.

Alas! It's a pity that the manuscript has not arrived. If I read the manuscript, I would be more confident! Maybe 400,000 copies will be printed directly. By the way, how is your contact with Lunfeng Huibi?"
Chapter completed!
