Chapter 232 Duoyu Company Started to Lose Money! ?
After Pu Jie returned to Kyoto, he slept for a long time and recovered.
The next morning, he opened the Writer Assistant app that he hadn't used for several days and saw a system message in "Writer Consultation".
"Hello, I'm notifying you that your work "Infinite Time and Space" will be recommended in the "Best Selling Selection" column of the Qidian Client-Selected Page at 06-10 00:00:00. Please keep updating the non-finished works. In case of emergency, please contact your editor in charge in time. Thank you for your cooperation!"
Pu Jie: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
"Fuck! Fuck you!"
A middle finger pointed to the void at the editor-in-chief of the second group, Minghe.
Pu Jie didn't need to read anything, and he couldn't go wrong by greeting Minghe directly!
"Qidian's dog editors are like leeks, one after another. I'll dig Minghe over someday and let him work illegally for me. He'll get tens of thousands of yuan a month in Duoyu Company and wait for death!"
"I'm so angry!"
Originally, after his first two waves of operations, the growth of the book's performance had been curbed, and now he's here to mess with him again.
Although the effect of killing Rong Hao in the second wave was not as strong as the first time, it was still effective.
The number of new readers and the number of lost readers were almost the same.
His average subscription increased slowly and reached 13,000 at present.
But the readers were obviously not as firm as he said. After a while, they forgot about the previous hurt. They saved up dozens of chapters and started to kill directly. They were very happy.
Pu Jie could only feel helpless about this.
"Fortunately, the beginning of this book is not pleasing, and the dissuasion function is strong. The recommendation is mainly based on the title, introduction, and the three golden chapters, so the effect must be not good, even worse than "Star Legend"!"
He has thought about it and will not do anything fancy this time.
If it is over-interpreted by readers like Teacher Liu again, it will arouse the rebellious psychology of readers.
It is just an ordinary sentence: Zheng Tuo enters a strange space, where he must travel to various worlds and go through thrilling encounters again and again. All he can do is to keep getting stronger and then. Survive!
It is not outstanding or bad, it is very ordinary.
Pu Jie has analyzed it.
This kind of ordinary introduction actually has the worst effect.
Now people are used to fragmented reading, and they all hope to know the highlights and cheats of the book at a glance. Unless it is a book by a great writer, they will have the patience to read it.
Is Pu Jie a great writer? Obviously not!
His author information shows that he is just an ordinary level 5 writer, which is obviously not big enough for most readers.
Therefore, there is no essential difference between his writing and the introduction of "The Question of Heaven"!
"This recommendation position must be lame."
Pu Jie took a look at the manuscript fee for last month.
[Total royalties in June: 503,295 yuan (417,734 yuan after tax)]
["Urban Son-in-law Dragon King": 134,427 yuan (including 50,000 yuan in audio copyright fees)]
["Rural Rogue Divine Doctor": 144,410 yuan (including 50,000 yuan in audio copyright fees)]
["Star Legend": 98,871 yuan]
["Infinite Time and Space": 125,587 yuan]
[Qidian Main Station: 125,339 yuan (including 1,500 yuan for full attendance). New media channels: 0 yuan. Group channels: 248 yuan. ]
[Expected royalties from new media channels next month: 1,000 yuan. ]
Among them, 310,000 yuan in royalties from 3 old books after tax were deposited into the system, and more than 100,000 yuan from new books were transferred to Duoyu Company and became company funds.
"Meng finally did a good thing. He bought the audio copyrights of my two old books and got me 100,000 yuan. I will transfer it to the company's funds in the future. After losing it, it will be directly converted into 1 million personal funds tenfold, which is still very good."
The three old books received the bonus from the 12 Heavenly Kings. The subscription data last month was very good. In addition, the sales of Pu Jie's two books in new media channels and Qidian's self-operated channels are still warming up, so the royalties are not bad, accumulating funds for the challenges of the next cycle.
But the new book
"Ah, the royalties for works with 10,000 orders are high. Even if the channel has no money, "Infinite Time and Space" also received a monthly royalty of 125,000 yuan, and 104,000 yuan after tax. According to this trend, it will be completed in 7 months, and there may be 800,000 yuan in royalties in the end."
"Fortunately, the problem is not too big. The subsidy amount is 2.4 million yuan, and it will be enough to get 1.6 million yuan in the end. The key point is that you can only input 100,000 yuan of expenses to the company every month, and it will be gone if you spend a little."
As long as there is no problem on the company's side, Pu Jie is basically stable in this cycle.
Both sides can get a satisfactory amount of money.
Financial freedom in one go!
"By the way, today is June 9th. The company should have almost settled the income and expenditure of last month. Let me see how much I lost."
Directly call up the "Pei's Online Literature Operation Module" of the system.
[Pei's Online Literature Operation Module]
[Company Name: Duoyu Culture Co., Ltd.]
[Total Funds: 7011027 yuan (↓8021244 yuan)]
[Challenge Period: 120 days]
[Challenge Rules: One week before settlement, the company must not have backlog copyrights, unreleased TV series, unsold products, etc. If so, it will affect the system settlement. Please pay attention to the time. ]
[. (Click to expand detailed rules)]
[Conversion ratio: 100:1 for profit settlement, 1:10 for loss settlement]
[57 days left before settlement. ]
Two months have passed since the start of the challenge, and Duoyu Company still has 8.01 million left!
"Huh? What's wrong? Logically speaking, the compensation should be almost done now. Just keep the balance of payments for the rest of the time."
Pu Jie felt that there was something wrong with this number and had to go to the company to check it immediately.
Arrived at Duoyu Company.
Facing him was Liu Jiannan's iconic voice: "Hello Mr. Pu!"
The little fish at the front desk immediately pouted.
Mr. Pu’s first time today, he didn’t take it with his own mouth.
"Hello Mr. Pu~"
"Yeah! How about you guys, Jimmy, get me a cup of coffee and bring it to the office."
"Okay Mr. Pu, I have made a new product - coriander coffee. Do you want to try it, Mr. Pu?"
"Well, that's it."
It was only when Mr. Pu walked to the office that he realized something was wrong.
"He just said... vanilla coffee, right?"
"Assistant Qi, come here!"
Qi Fei, who was in the office next to her, came through the small door and entered Mr. Pu's office.
"Mr. Pu, you are back. Do I need to give you a recent work report?"
Mr. Pu waved his hand: "That's not important. Just tell me about the company's financial situation, last month's income and expenses."
"Oh well."
Assistant Qi's notebook seemed to have recorded all the questions Mr. Pu wanted to ask, so he took it over and read it.
Mr. Pu is a little curious, Assistant Qi. Are you ready to deal with his questions every day?
After some understanding, Mr. Pu understood where the problem lay.
I didn’t spend all my money in spring!
The income of the online literature department in the first two months was still stable at around 5 million, and there has been no downward trend so far. Mr. Pu feels that if the fishing seeds left over from the last training continue, other people will soon be led to start writing blindly. Not only will Duoyu Company not be able to make any money at this time, the company will also have to pay these authors a guaranteed salary, double compensation!
The audio reading department earned 6.1 million yuan last month. Hearing this figure almost made Mr. Pu's blood pressure rise.
However, after Assistant Qi’s explanation, Mr. Pu probably understood that the number of paying users of Duoyu Tingshu had reached 600,000 by the end of the month, and the payment capacity was much higher than that in the online literature industry, because the groups he faced were relatively wealthy. So all in all, the average first charge per person is 10 yuan.
Because new users have a 7-day free listening period, they still have a large number of potential paying users, who will be converted into real paying users this month.
At present, the growth rate of Duoyu Tingshu has tended to be stable, unlike the sudden surge in the previous period.
And the most important thing is that Meng Xingkong didn't give a penny to the company for the profit of 6.1 million. After receiving the money, he took it all away and spent it!
Mr. Pu was very satisfied.
Although Lao Meng struggled a bit, he still spent money very well.
"Tell Lao Meng that in the future, just like this month, you will spend the money you earn by yourself and don't add additional burdens to the company."
"Okay Mr. Pu."
Although he didn't understand why making money was a burden, Assistant Qi carefully recorded every request from Mr. Pu.
As for the game adaptation department, it's not that they don't spend money well, but they have a payment cycle.
Because it takes three and a half months to produce a game, the time is tight, so a lot of work is subcontracted, and most of them only pay 50% of the payment. After the game is completed, the remaining 50% will be gradually provided.
Therefore, Dachun only spent 7.5 million, and the remaining 7.5 million will be fully spent next month.
Mr. Pu used his college mathematics knowledge to calculate.
701-750=-490,000.
The company is already losing money!
"Hi~ This is perfect!"
If you round up, Mr. Pu will earn 150 million.
At present, it seems that everything is under control.
Just sit back and wait for 2 months to count the money and be done with it.
"Assistant Qi, how much does our company's monthly fixed expenses cost now? Just give us the total."
"We currently have a total of 113 employees. We spent a total of 2.55 million yuan on wages, subsidies, commissions, overtime pay, company site fees, and daily consumption last month."
Assistant Qi saw that Mr. Pu's face was a little tangled, so he naturally understood.
"Mr. Pu, the current expenditure of our Duoyu Company is a bit too high. The salary level here in Kyoto is the top level, and the welfare subsidies are also first-rate. In fact, many of our employees cannot reach this salary. level, in order to maintain the company’s profits, I think it can be appropriately reduced.”
As an assistant, Qi Fei must strictly grasp the boss's thoughts.
Mr. Pu's troubled look must mean that he spent too much.
It is inconvenient for the boss to bring up this matter directly, so he should bring it up himself. The boss will take the initiative and do it. When the time comes, the villain will be responsible. When colleagues talk about it, they can only say that they are unreasonable. The boss can't lose money to the company, right?
Isn’t that a big injustice?
Pu Jie glanced at Assistant Qi in surprise: "Downsizing? Why downsize? Don't look down on our employees. If we can give full play to their strength, they may be better than people in big factories! Look at how good each of them is! This I think the salary is too low! Forget it, don’t mention the salary, even if my company loses money!”
Assistant Qi: "Ah! Mr. Pu, you are such a good boss!"
"Okay, I'm back to the company today, why don't you let everyone express their gratitude? Where are the excellent traditions of our company?"
Assistant Qi: "I understand! I will urge everyone to hold a meeting immediately to summarize the experience and shortcomings of last month, formulate remedial measures, and look forward to the direction and goals of next month"
Pu was shocked: "Are you crazy? Who has meetings every day? It wastes time and efficiency. This is a bad habit and must be changed! I said that you should arrange team building. You have a day off in the afternoon. Let's have fun!"
Assistant Qi: (￣△￣；)
"Okay, Pu, I will arrange it."
The boss is really hard to figure out.
Pu saw Qi Fei go out and shook his head.
He was just struggling because he did some calculations.
Now the online literature department can earn 5 million yuan in royalties every month. Excluding the fixed expenses of the remaining two months, Pu will still have a surplus of about 5 million yuan before settlement.
"We have to find a way to spend this 5 million yuan."
Ahem, 6,000 words for the second update, not very short.
Due to some accidents yesterday, I posted a duplicate chapter and some classmates subscribed to it. Later, I asked the editor to block it. After the editor comes to work on Monday, it will be modified to the content of the latest chapter and released. Those who have already subscribed can read it directly. It’s not a big problem.
