198 Buying Poems and Sending Novels With Sincerity(2/2)
For commemorative purposes, this set of books cannot be sold for ten yuan.
In other words, in the eyes of most people, "The Farthest Distance in the World" is the main sales volume of this set of two books, while "Shattered Void" is a tie-in. Even if "Shattered Void" is a thicker book,
There is also more content.
However, this majority does not include Cao Zhiqiang and Zhao Shouwen.
Because Zhao Shouwen is the main proofreader of "Shattered Void", he is very clear about the content of the book.
In Zhao Shouwen's opinion, the plot of "Shattered Void" is compact and majestic, especially the martial arts concept, which has a fantasy color of returning the pearl to the poster. Anyway, Zhao Shouwen himself likes it very much.
Therefore, Zhao Shouwen believes that this martial arts novel is a rare masterpiece and will definitely be popular once it is released.
Cao Zhiqiang was very grateful for Zhao Shouwen's recognition. Even though he knew that the book was definitely good, he was still a little hurt when others were not optimistic about it.
In fact, this other person mainly refers to editor-in-chief Yu Deli and president Zhou Huaien.
Yu Deli won’t say it anymore. As the editor-in-chief, proofreading and checking is what you should do.
As for the president, Zhou Huaien, Cao Zhiqiang assigned him the role of reviewer.
Because Cao Zhiqiang discovered that publishing houses in this era do not yet have audit management in the true sense.
In this era, there are no first-level review groups, and publishing houses do not need to submit books for review.
Therefore, the content of books published by publishing houses mainly depends on the self-discipline of the publishing houses.
Of course, this freedom is relative. Some obviously reactionary remarks, as well as some authors who have not been rehabilitated, are not allowed to be published.
In addition, although publishing a book is free and easy, once something happens to your book after it is published, such as being reported for various reasons, you will still be held accountable.
But generally speaking, publishing houses in the 1980s were really free and loose, so much so that the publishing house staff of this period were free to let themselves go.
If you don’t believe it, go and look at the books on the market. Even in regular bookstores like Xinhua Bookstore, you can find a large number of very colorful and violent books, and the publishers that publish such books are all regular publishers!
It can be said that throughout the 1980s, various formal publishing houses in the country had almost no review at all and published content very freely. They really relied on self-consciousness and self-discipline.
It is precisely because of this that Cao Zhiqiang followed the principle of waste recycling and asked the mascot-like President Zhou Huaien to do the content review work.
To put it simply, Zhou Huai'en's job is to check whether there are any violations or sensitive content in the books to be published, and if so, revise them quickly.
Zhou Huai'en is an old-school conservative figure. If he can approve the content of the book, there will most likely be no problem.
Fortunately, the content of "Shattered Void" is relatively healthy, and it is pure fantasy popular literature, which is relatively loose.
And amidst the efforts of these people, Cao Zhiqiang himself has not been idle either.
As the general manager, his most important role at the moment is to open up sales channels.
Cao Zhiqiang was no stranger to this. He went directly to Director Chen of the Publishing Bureau, and through Director Chen, he made an appointment with the secretary and manager of the Xinhua Bookstore Head Office, and they all had a meal together.
After the meal, one person was given a cash red envelope worth 1,000 yuan!
With this layer of public relations activities, the effect is overwhelming.
Secretary Gao of Xinhua Bookstore finally made the decision. From now on, Xinhua Bookstore will purchase books from Hongguang Publishing House at a 50% discount.
In other words, in the future, books published by Hongguang Publishing House will be eaten by Xinhua Bookstore at half price, and we will inform you that when books from Hongguang Publishing House are retailed in stores under Xinhua Bookstore, they will try their best to display them in conspicuous places
The place.
Damn, I only spent a total of 3,000 yuan in red envelopes, plus a meal of more than 100 yuan, and I was able to get such a huge discount. It was such a huge profit!
You know, this is the policy of the Xinhua Bookstore Headquarters, which is equivalent to the decision-making of the Xinhua Bookstore Headquarters!
The current book distribution market is still dominated by Xinhua Bookstore, which forms a monopoly with the Post Office.
It's just that Xinhua Bookstore prefers books, while the post office prefers periodicals, with slightly different emphasis.
But after all, this is also a national issuing organization.
This kind of hairstyling establishment can make one click, and its profits are huge.
I just had a meal with someone, and if each person paid 1,000 yuan, they could get a 50% discount. It was really a great deal.
Of course, this also takes up the spotlight in the capital.
Only in the capital city can we have this kind of convenience that affects the whole country at every turn. If it were anywhere else, we probably wouldn't have this kind of convenience.
So, with the full cooperation of everyone working overtime.
It only took a week.
Chapter completed!
