Chapter 496 President Pu Has Set His Sights on the Physical Business of Online Literature

Duoyu Company.

Audio reading department.

Recently, Duoyu Audiobook has been steadily advancing and expanding its product line.

From the initial online listening to articles, it has expanded to a collection of news, crosstalk, ghost stories, mother and baby, science, food, music, English, business, and other sectors, and the development speed is amazing.

The constantly expanding content has kept latecomers catching up, and has never been surpassed, firmly holding the leading position in audio reading.

Moreover, with the development of the audiobook industry, the habits of the user group have been cultivated, and the market is also slowly expanding.

Duoyu Audiobook has become a daily necessity for many people.

In Africa, it is also developing slowly. Last month, a radio cooperation project in another country was just added, and it can be foreseen that as Duoyu Audiobook's influence in Africa gradually expands, there will be more and more opportunities for cooperation.

After all, there is not even a decent competitor there, which is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

With the speed of the "hard-working" African people, it will take a few years to copy the international version of Duoyu Audiobook.

Many people in China who admire Western and Japanese and Korean countries do not know that the land of Africa is full of legends of China.

China is the real YYDS!

Made in China is very popular. Old clothes in China can be sold for a lot of money after washing and hanging in the store.

This line of English letters is engraved, which represents quality!

Therefore, no one can resist the dimensionality reduction attack of Duoyu Audiobook in Africa. This cheap audiobook service also has a large market in Africa.

The Duoyu Audiobook Department is also the one that President Pu pays the least attention to.

I only know that this is an incurable backstab department. It brings a considerable burden to the company every month.

And in this department, there is a strange person.

His job is very simple. He just needs to check some background bugs and make small repairs on a daily basis. He has a lot of free time.

His name is Cao Mu, and he is a fellow apprentice who was recruited with Tian Gou, Jiang Rui, Liu Ming, and Fang Ke.

He has always been low-key, but he is the most popular person among the employees of Duoyu Company.

Because of his other identity: a handicraft master!

He is the only employee who can really implement Mr. Pu's slacking philosophy. As long as he finishes his own work, he will not do more. He picks up a pile of tools on his other table and starts making figures.

There are all kinds of things, and he can make anything.

After he finished, he did not collect them, but gave them to his colleagues. Each one was very exquisite.

In the past year since he came to work, everyone in Duoyu Company has received figures produced by Cao Mu, and Mr. Pu has two beautiful models on his desk.

How can everyone not like him?

And the colorful figures have become a beautiful landscape on the desk of Duoyu Company.

Cao Mu is very grateful to Duoyu Company. He originally thought that what Mr. Pu said when he joined the company was all empty words, such as that after work, he could arrange his time reasonably, do something interesting, go to a movie, and exercise.

Unexpectedly, it was all true!

He was cautious at first when making figures in the company, but later he did not hide it. No one cared about him at all. The supervisor even praised him for adding capital to Duoyu Culture.

Cao Mu not only likes figurines himself, but also has a circle of people who also like to make figurines. They disdain to buy expensive figurines of people who live a good life, and would rather make them by themselves, and the Chinese figurines they make can better represent their country's culture.

Especially after coming to Duoyu Company, Cao Mu has designed figurines for many of Zhongshan Novels' top novels for free. The website occasionally uses his figurines for event draws, and is privately regarded as a classic by book friends.

"Huh~"

Cao Mu put down the razor in his hand, looked at a pretty animal-eared girl, and smiled with satisfaction.

He looked up and looked around. His colleagues were busy with their own things. No one came to disturb him, and no one came over to be weird. Everyone was doing their own things.

"The company is so good. I really don't know how I can get such a job. It would be great if I could do something for the company."

Then, he smiled self-deprecatingly.

As a handicraftsman, what can he do for such a big company.

It's better to burn two incense sticks for President Pu during the holidays.

Looking at the cat-eared girl figurine in his hand, Cao Mu pondered for a moment.

"It seems that the company has a new department manager, send one to him."

Upstairs, the office of the president of Duoyu Company.

"Huh~"

After arranging the two biggest things in this cycle, President Pu felt much better.

The struggle was punished, and the huge loss-making project began.

There is another small matter. President Pu needs to pay a little attention.

"Assistant Qi, call Yuan Hua."

"Okay, President Pu."

After a while, Yuan Hua, who had a big back hair and dressed like a dog, walked in. He was a little restrained and didn't know where to stand to report.

Pu greeted: "Sit down! In our Duoyu company, there is no such messy saying. Everyone is like friends, not to mention that we are good buddies in the same dormitory. Apart from the company's identity, we still drink and brag together in the evening."

"Yes, yes, yes" Yuan Hua sat on the leather sofa with half of his buttocks, leaning forward to listen.

Since his family fell into poverty more than half a year ago, Yuan Hua has suffered a hard life that he has never experienced in the past 21 years.

It was the first time I knew that he had no money, no free house to rent, and no car of his own to go to Didi. He only had an old house on the seaside that his aunt gave him to live in, and a broken fishing boat.

I have experienced the ups and downs of life in more than half a year, and my previously cheerful and optimistic personality has been smoothed away and I have become a little cautious.

At this moment, the distance between him and Pu Jie was too far.

There is simply no way to face it with a normal mentality and make these actions subconsciously.

But after hearing Mr. Pu say this, I finally felt a little relieved.

"Mr. Pu, according to the request you gave me, I went to inspect some comic companies and found that things are not very optimistic."

"Ten years ago, paper comics still had a high market share. However, they have been severely impacted by the mobile Internet in recent years, and sales have dropped again and again. At present, all the comic books we can hear about have excellent sales. They are old books from 10 years ago, such as Doumou Continent and Doumou Cangqiong. Many comic magazines that were very popular at the time have now closed down. "

"So, if we join the game now, it will be difficult to get good results. Even if we publish novels and comics that are relatively popular now, it will be almost impossible to reproduce the glory of the past. If we do well, we can barely survive, but if we do not do well, we will lose a lot of money. Pen."

The more Yuan Hua talked, the more in tune he became and talked eloquently.

"To sum up, it's not that the comics industry is completely over. After all, there is a large number of fixed audiences, but it means that we can invest in comics, but it will be safer to make electronic comics, and the customers we will face will be larger and wider, and it will not Printing is a fixed investment, and it can be operated at a light cost. Even if it is a loss, it will not hurt the vitality.

On the contrary, if we make money, we can expand the scale. When the operation reaches a certain level in the future, we can in turn produce high-quality collectible paper comics and sell them to rich fans to make a lot of money. "

"In this way, we can advance, attack, retreat or defend. Mr. Pu, do you think it's still feasible?"

Mr. Pu: "."

Is it possible?

It’s so doable!

Yuan Hua's insights are very practical even for a comic layman like Mr. Pu.

If he is really allowed to operate, not to mention losing money, what if it makes the already wealthy Duoyu Company even worse?

It is indeed the result of such a long period of research, and it is worthy of being a talent higher than Dachun and Zhang Yang. There is indeed something!

Although it may not be successful in practice, this insight is already above the level of normal people.

horrible!

You must not do what Yuan Hua said!

Mr. Pu said seriously: "It's too small, the structure is too small."

Yuan Hua: (°ー°〃)

"Mr. Pu, this is just a family opinion. In the end, it depends on your guidance."

Mr. Pu nodded: "Then I won't be polite and will start ordering you directly."

Yuan Hua's mouth twitched: "Okay"

Mr. Pu felt that Yuan Hua did one thing very well, that is, he could see that physical comics periodicals would lose money, and his analysis was very accurate. This point was seen more clearly than Mr. Pu, and it deserves recognition.

"It must be a physical comic journal! The value of Duoyumanke must be carried by paper journals! Are the things we sell the same as the comics we see online?"

"No! What we sell is comic culture!"

"Those who buy our periodicals are loyal users of comics. We rely on them to promote the adaptation of comics and even animations from online articles!"

"And those who like to read the electronic version online are not our users at all, and we don't need them! We only need to serve users who like to read the physical version well!"

"Besides, who stipulates that you must make money? Do you know, we are Duoyu Company? Oh no, Duoyu Group! Our group is a large comprehensive company centered on Internet articles. You have to consider it from the overall perspective of the company. The question is, every decision we make is not necessarily made for profit, but to expand the group's influence and lay out the full commercial sector of online articles. Can you understand? "

"hiss--"

Yuan Hua took a breath, frowned slightly, and showed an expression of disbelief on his face.

Mr. Pu's heart sank.

Unfortunately, Yuan Hua, unlike Dachun and Zhang Yang, is not easy to deceive.

Sure enough, my far-fetched reason was that except for the fact that it was difficult for the system to deceive others,

You have to find some other reasons to convince Yuan Hua. You can't just forcefully arrange it like Li Wei and others. Otherwise, Yuan Hua will doubt his decision-making from the beginning, and then it will be difficult to arrange the work in the future.

Just when Mr. Pu was looking for other reasons, Yuan Hua suddenly shouted:

"good!"

"As expected of Mr. Pu, his position is high! I was the one who fell behind.

I think what you said, Mr. Pu, makes so much sense! We can’t just follow the crowd, we should be real! What we sell is not comic periodicals, what we sell is comic culture! Tsk tsk~ Mr. Pu, your words are perfect! It could definitely be used as a slogan for our Duoyumanke journal!

The physical business can do far more than just comics, and can also include other derivatives of online literature. It doesn't matter whether we make money or not, the main thing is to improve the quality of our online writing! In the future, when our company goes public, we can estimate the value by several hundred million if we don’t say much. That’s great! "

Mr. Pu: Σ(°△°|||)︴

Is this such an exaggeration?

Forget it, let him do whatever he wants, since he is not planning to list the company anyway.

Mr. Pu thought for a moment and then replied: "Okay, that's it. Go ahead and do it! By the way, how much do you estimate it will cost?"

Yuan Hua rubbed his hands and said sheepishly: "Mr. Pu, I did some calculations and found out that there are costs for copyright, painting, publication, printing, and distribution. Among them, painters have the highest cost. We have to choose multiple good painters. It's very expensive, so even though I kept shrinking the budget, the minimum number of comics required to meet the launch of the publication is 4 books serialized at the same time, and there are also some small sections interspersed with content, so at least 5 animators are required to work at the same time. That’s fine, even if it’s paid in installments.”

"At least 5 million."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Hua looked at Mr. Pu nervously, waiting for his answer.

"5000000."

Mr. Pu's brows furrowed, deeper than when he first said he would start an online journal.

'broken! ’

Yuan Hua sighed deeply in his heart.

'Sure enough, asking Brother Jie for 5 million when I first joined the company is a bit too much. Even if you have money, you can't do this. Besides, I don't have any experience in this area.'

'Haha~ Brother Jie pulled me up when he saw that I was poor and gave me the position of editor-in-chief. I really regarded myself as a green onion. In addition to being more handsome than Brother Jie, I have more literary talent than Brother Jie, and I have better emotional intelligence than Brother Jie. At a higher level, who am I? What else can I do? ’

'Maybe I should be a gangster in the corner of Duoyu Company for the rest of my life.'

In just a few seconds while Mr. Pu pondered, countless thoughts flashed through Yuan Hua's heart, and his mood gradually became depressed.

"5 million is too little, right?"

Yuan Hua nodded: "Yes, I didn't think about it. I shouldn't have asked you directly for so much and so on!?"

"Brother Jie, you just said it was too little???"

Mr. Pu nodded naturally: "How can an investment of 5 million be enough to start an animation journal? It's such a small amount of money that people would laugh at me and think that my company, Duoyu Company, doesn't have the courage!"

"Speaking of which, Yuan Hua, I have to criticize you. You still don't know enough about the corporate culture of Duoyu Company. We are never afraid of high investment in doing things! We are never afraid of losing money! Just choose the right project and feel free to invest! I will take responsibility for any losses. Come on! Regarding corporate culture, you have to quickly learn from the old employees. Forget it, you should learn from me.”

The corners of Mr. Pu's mouth twitched slightly, as if he thought of some bad cases.

No!

He couldn't find a good case!

Gan!

Do my employees correctly understand the corporate culture I want to express?

Do I have to write on the wall?

Working overtime is a crime, long live fishing!

Work hard to survive on a desert island, drink tea and watch TV dramas for a happy life!

One day equals one year, and the company is about to lose money!

New project, new plan, new cycle company hangs!

There are too many!

Unfortunately, given the warning from the system, Mr. Pu could not be so unscrupulous and had to continue to subtly export the corporate culture in his actions, hoping that the employees below could sum it up for themselves.

And after Mr. Pu's secret observation during this period, he found that some of the company's stubborn old employees have gradually understood.

Niu Zi and Tian Gou outside have not had any trouble for a long time.

Every time I pass by their work stations, I will see scenes of them watching TV series or playing games.

They finally realized it.

Mr. Pu burst into tears!

"Ahem! In short, Yuan Hua, if you have anything to do in the future, please report to me more, and don't learn from other unknown people in the company. If I'm not here, you can communicate more with Niu Zi and Tian Gou from the Internet Literature Department. They are very knowledgeable about our company's business. The cultural understanding is very profound, very profound, and it is already at the level of enlightenment. ”

Yuan Hua nodded in understanding.

"oh"

Mr. Pu continued: "Then I will double this project for you, 10 million! It must be spent! Go ahead!"

Yuan Hua: "!!!"

"Hiss~~~Mr. Pu. Are you serious? I'll cry to death!"

Yuan Hua was extremely excited and took the certificate given by Mr. Pu to the finance department to apply for money.

Mr. Pu also went out happily. The company's affairs were taken care of, and he no longer had to work in the company, so he could go out and have some fun.

When passing by Niu Zi and Tian Gou's work stations, Mr. Pu glanced at them inadvertently.

One is playing World of Warcraft, and the other is following the anime "Staying at Home is Most Stable in the End of the World".

'good! ’

Mr. Pu nodded with satisfaction and went about his business with peace of mind.

moment.

The sound of the elevator going downstairs sounded.

Niu Zi and Tian Gou looked at each other and returned to the backstage screen of Zhongshan Novel. One was talking about advertising and investment, and the other was conducting a website recommendation review. It was very natural, as if they had practiced it hundreds of times.

Yuan Hua walked to his office, sat on the large office chair and spun around, feeling relaxed.

"It seems to be the same as what I speculated before. Mr. Pu did not just do it on a whim. He did not just create a comic journal, but focused on the physical business of online articles."

Damn it! I went to have dinner in the evening. I said I would go back to code after eating, but my friend refused to let me go! You must pinch it! He said that there was a project called Dragon Muscle Pulling that was very good, but I couldn’t resist him, so I had to give it a try, and now I have finished it. This chapter was actually written last night before the power outage.
