Chapter 431 Take the initiative
Yang Xiao was looking at the data of the previous issue in the office when the phone rang.
The caller was his old friend Guo Jianzhong. Yang Xiao said with a smile: "Why did Mr. Guo have the time to call me? I made several draft appointments with you in the past few days, but you said you were busy recently and declined."
"I'm not lying to you, I'm really busy. Besides, are you still short of manuscripts for "Science Fiction World"? I heard Tan Kai brag to me that your editorial department is almost running out of manuscripts."
"He brags, and you believe it."
"Haha, no matter what, you really don't lack my manuscripts now. It would be good to publish more domestic originals."
Yang Xiao pursed her lips and smiled. Guo Jianzhong was right. Nowadays, domestic science fiction writers are emerging one after another, and they are indeed not short of manuscripts.
The reason why I approached Guo Jianzhong for an appointment was because they retained the foreign science fiction column and wanted to allow domestic readers to have more exposure to foreign science fiction novels and connect them with the world.
"By the way, Teacher Guo, why are you calling? Do you have a manuscript?"
"No, I just read Yu Dong's new book and I still have some energy. I want to talk to someone. I just called Tan Kai and no one answered, so I called you."
"Yu Dong's new book?" Yang Xiao was confused by Guo Jianzhong, "What new book?"
Guo Jianzhong was also confused: ""Moon", haven't you received the manuscript yet? I heard from Yu Liang that Yu Dong has already sent it to you."
Hearing Guo Jianzhong's words, Yang Xiao was startled, "You really said that?"
"Why are you lying to me? If I hadn't confirmed that Yu Dong had sent it to you, I wouldn't have been able to tell you about it. Isn't this a leak of secrets?"
"Okay, I understand. I'm going to ask. I won't tell you anymore."
Yang Xiao quickly hung up the phone and went to the editorial department first to make sure she had not received Yu Dong's manuscript. Then she called Yu Liang.
"Mr. Yu, I heard that the manuscript of Yu Dong's new book has been sent to us."
Yang Xiao's voice was a little anxious, which surprised Yuli, "Yes, Lao... Teacher Yu Dong sent it personally. Is there anything wrong with it?"
"The problem is that we didn't receive it."
"It's normal that I didn't receive it. After all, it was only sent a few days ago."
It had only been a few days since I sent it... It probably hadn't arrived yet, but Yang Xiao was still worried, "This manuscript won't be lost, right? Guo Jianzhong has already received it."
"Teacher Guo is very close, and even if you lose it, we can just send it to you again," Yuliang said nonchalantly.
"Mr. Yu, you didn't understand what I meant. I'm afraid that I'll lose the manuscript and encounter literary thieves."
Yuliang laughed, "It turns out that I'm afraid that someone will pretend to claim it. President Yang, you are overthinking it. If anyone tries to claim it falsely, we at Deep Space will kill him. We have backed up this manuscript in the computer, and Teacher Guo has already
I got it, and there are witnesses and physical evidence, so the thieves can’t steal it even if they want to.”
"That's it. I'm relieved. But the express delivery is too slow. Can't you have someone deliver it in person? After all, it's Yu Dong's manuscript, not an ordinary manuscript. You guys are taking it too seriously."
Yu Liang felt that Yang Xiao was too nervous, but he still said with a smile: "President Yang, don't worry, by next year, submission will be easy on the computer."
"Why?"
"Because our company is developing a free email address, which will be available to everyone next year." Yu Liang explained with a smile: "With the free email address, as long as the computers in your company are connected to the Internet, you can easily
You can easily receive emails sent from other computers, and documents can also be used.”
In fact, you can submit your manuscript online without an email. Shen Kong can directly code the manuscript to Shen Kong, set the permissions, and then give Yang Xiao and others a browsing permission.
However, this is a bit troublesome and not as convenient as email.
Yang Xiao knows about email but not much about email, but she can also understand what an email is.
She was not surprised that Deep Space would do this kind of thing. She also knew that Deep Space had invested in an item trading website in the United States. Deep Space was not essentially a cultural company, and was now involved in more and more industries.
At the last Deep Space Annual Meeting, Jimmy said in front of many people that the current situation has great prospects for opening a computer laboratory in China, and he analyzed it very clearly.
It is said that the Internet is slowly emerging in China, but personal computers are not yet popular. Therefore, computer rooms are a very good choice to meet the Internet needs of netizens.
From what Jimmy said, Deep Space seems to be opening a computer lab in China.
However, based on Yang Xiao’s understanding of Jimmy, he probably wants to let others open a computer lab, but Deep Space may not be involved in this industry.
If Jimmy really wanted to open a computer lab, he wouldn't have made a big deal about it, but would have already started working on it.
Yang Xiao not only heard Jimmy preaching the benefits of opening a computer lab at the Deep Space Annual Meeting, but later she accidentally saw news about opening a computer lab in a newspaper.
That news revealed the future of opening a computer lab and the process of how to open a computer lab.
When Yang Xiao saw the news, he knew it must be Jimmy's handiwork.
As for the reason why Jimmy wants to promote the benefits of opening a computer room, Yang Xiao has also analyzed that Jimmy probably hopes that this kind of computer room can be quickly popularized in the country, so that it can promote the development of the domestic network.
The domestic network is developing rapidly, and the first one to benefit is Deep Space. But don’t forget, what their Deep Space is missing now is users.
If computer rooms become popular, the number of users of deep space will grow rapidly.
Now that she heard that Yuliang said that their company was developing mailboxes, it proved even more true that her guess was correct. Jimmy's publicity in the computer room had a very clear purpose, which was to pave the way for what their company would do in the future.
Jimmy's publicity is also effective. As far as Yang Xiao knows, since the first half of this year, domestic computer labs have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
A few days ago, she saw a computer room called "Jiaren" in Chengdu. It didn't have many computers, the environment wasn't very good, and the access fee was not cheap. Most people really couldn't bear to go there.
However, there were many people going online, and there were many people queuing behind each computer.
This also proves that what Jimmy said last year is correct. It is indeed possible to make money by opening a computer lab. There is a market and there is profit, and depending on the situation, compared with other businesses, the initial investment is not particularly high.
However, Jimmy did not do such a profitable business, but vigorously promoted it and asked others to do it. Yang Xiao was a little confused.
…
In fact, Yang Xiao was wrong. The first Internet cafe in China was opened in Shenzhen. In March this year, it was opened in Yanjing and was called Coastline Internet Club.
But it’s just that one family.
After opening this online club, the business was very good, so Shen Kong found some media to report on it.
It was also because of the success of this online club that there were so many followers. The online club developed rapidly in Yanjing, and then the trend started in Yanjing and quickly spread throughout the country.
However, Jimmy didn't want to make money from the Internet cafe. He opened that Internet cafe solely to attract more people to follow suit and accelerate the development of China's Internet.
