Chapter 75 Today Is a Day Worth Celebrating!
After listening to Xiaoxing's explanation, Pu Jie opened WeChat, searched for the "WeChat Reading" applet, and saw "The Rogue Miracle Doctor" at the top of the best-selling list on the home page.
His hands and feet were cold and his face was ashen.
"Hehehehe~ Group channels? Financial problems? Hehehe~"
"I'm so stupid, really. I just knew that editor Xiaoxing was not a good person, but I didn't expect that a person could be so bad!"
"You can't backstab the same author twice in a row, at least not!"
Xiaoxing built the plank road openly and secretly attacked Chen Cang, completely keeping Pu Jie in the dark.
Pu Jie felt that his future was bleak.
He lay on the bed, folded his hands on his chest, and closed his eyes peacefully.
"When exactly did things become like this?"
"Why didn't I notice it at all?"
"Who are the traitors?"
"Who is the one-man show leader of the LSP gang? Who is the tidal sea spirit who rewards the leader? Who recommended my novel to the director Fu Weng? Who is the ghost operator of Qidian's new channel!!!"
In this cold world, Pu Jie felt that only Shadow Night Cat's negative comments could bring him a trace of warmth.
"Tomorrow, the world will continue. Should we continue to love or wait for destruction?"
etc!
"Hey! No, I really think I'm not dead!"
Pu Jie sat up in shock when he was dying. The clown was not him!
"Um~Wait a minute! Here's my calculator! Um~Wait a minute!"
He took out his calculator and began to calculate all the royalties for "The Rural Scoundrel Doctor" since its publication.
February: None;
March: 2832 yuan;
April: 15,191 yuan;
May: 240,118 yuan;
The book has been open for more than three months now, and the total manuscript fees add up to 258,141 yuan. After deducting taxes, Pu Jie’s current total income from the new book is 214,257 yuan.
"Actually, I only received 210,000 yuan in royalties, and there is still one month left before the book is finished. As long as the total royalties in June do not exceed 390,000 yuan, I can still make a comeback!"
Pu Jie took another look at the new media channels’ estimated royalties for next month: 150,000 yuan.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"As long as the total manuscript fee this month does not exceed 240,000 yuan, it will be fine!"
has hope!
Pu Jie immediately contacted Xiaoxing: "Will the channel royalties next month be more than the current ones?"
After Xiaoxing received the message, he hesitated for a moment. After all, he was not from the WeChat Reading Operations Department and did not know the specific measures there.
But I heard that they are still burning money there, so they probably won’t make much profit in a short time, right?
Pu decided to pay the channel royalties for last month. After he strongly protested and the publisher said they would consider sharing the operating expenses of the book, he reluctantly reached this amount.
It's only been in operation for two months, so it's probably still burning money!
"I guess there won't be any more. Only after they start charging normally will our channel royalties be qualitatively improved."
"That's good!"
Pu Jie breathed a sigh of relief. As long as next month's amount is no more than this month's 210,000 yuan, then after tax is deducted, he will only get 174,000 yuan, which is not a big problem.
When Xiaoxing saw it, she was instantly moved.
It depends on Pu Ding! Knowing that new channels are not easy, even though he felt that the royalties of 210,000 yuan were not worthy of the sales of his books, he still considered it for Qidian.
What is this called?
This is called mutual prosperity of the website and the author!
Pu Jie asked again: "What happened to my new media channel last month? Why did I have an estimated manuscript fee of 150,000 yuan? It increased by 20 times? Is there any problem with the data?"
Xiaoxing can see some data from new media.
"Oh! Last month, the new media channel gave you a big recommendation. Every book after 1 million words, as long as the data is not particularly bad, will have the opportunity to be recommended by this big recommendation. There will be a short-term surge, but The next time this kind of recommendation relies on word count, it should be 2 million words. ”
"Oh, then I'll be relieved!"
It turned out to be a big push, no wonder!
After Pu Jie was deceived by new media channels, he was also paying attention to the news here. He knew that new media channels now have many customers and books, and the recommendation position is very tight!
Many books have been waiting for several months without a good recommendation, but once they come, they can take off within a month.
This book is only recommended because of the word count.
He could write less than 2 million words and would finish the book at 1.5 million words.
Then the new media royalties will definitely plummet next month! Even back to the level of around 10,000.
"After all this calculation, I still hope to get the system subsidy next month. Although it is a little less, only tens of thousands of yuan, but I can still unlock my 2.4 million royalties!"
The lesser of two evils!
If you can't get the 600,000 subsidy, you need to complete the system tasks first.
As long as the manuscript fee is not locked by the system's [Anti-Addiction Regulations] in the future, everything will be worth it!
"Stay steady and you can win!"
Qidian Editorial Department, Group 2 Office.
When Xiaoxing saw Pu Jie's reply "Oh, I'll be relieved then!", she deleted the message she had just edited.
"Hey, it seems that he has been paying attention to the rules of the new media. Knowing that after this big promotion based on word count, if the effect is good, he will arrange a stronger recommendation position on the homepage."
"Haha~ I actually thought that Pu Ding was dead and I didn't know."
"Who is Pu Ding! The first generation of new media king! New media channels are his home base. Don't you know better than me?"
Xiaoxing happily sent a message to Pu Ding: "Stay steady, you can fly!"
Pu Dingle: "Haha!"
Seeing the familiar two-word reply, Xiaoxing closed the chat box with satisfaction.
"Sure enough, everything is as Pu Dingle expected."
Qidian headquarters, WeChat Reading Operation Department.
This floor has the strongest security measures in the company. To enter this floor, you must have the work badge of this department, plus face scanning verification, and then pass the metal detector.
It is said that it is for the personal safety of the two operation managers.
The two operation managers did not ask for the bonus for the first month, and upgraded the security system overnight.
For fear that those colleagues who have been swiped by Pinxixi will suddenly rush over and chop them.
It's really a chop.
"By the way, the news that we are the WeChat Reading Operation Department must not be leaked again. It's not good for our future personal safety."
"It must be kept secret!"
The two operation managers launched a forwarding support activity last month. As long as you ask friends to help chop a few knives, you can read the whole book for free!
New customers chop more knives.
Everyone can participate in the lottery, and the progress is 99%. If you have more than 95% of your friends, and then complete a few tasks, you can reach 99.9%.
Customers are trying hard to find others to cut, hoping to read a whole book for free.
However, it can be clearly seen in the background of the two people that the user's progress is 0.9996427%, but the user only sees the abbreviation of 99.9%.
There are too many numbers, and I am afraid that users can't read them, so I abbreviated them for you.
Is this reasonable?
Very reasonable!
After the two people completed this activity, they didn't spend much money, and the number of users increased dramatically!
More than last month, a full 4 million new users!
The two used the saved funds to renovate the office again, leaving a few secret passages for escape, leading upstairs and downstairs.
After Xingchen knew about the two's operation, he laughed and scolded: "You know you are immoral, right! This new activity is really bad!"
Then he took a look at the 4 million new users of WeChat Reading and raised his mouth: "But I like it very much"
Today, the data of the new channel's manuscript fee has been released, and the WeChat Reading Operation Department has straightened up!
In the second month, their channel has begun to make a profit!
This is incredible in the era of Internet investment where everyone is competing to see who can spend more money!
After only burning money for one month, it has turned losses into profits, and the user growth rate is extremely fast. Relying on the big data push of its own WeChat program, most of the customers found are target group customers!
It can be expected that the new channel has amazing potential and will also be a J-sucking beast in the future!
"This is just the beginning. Next, are you ready for the guillotine?"
"Ready!"
"Let's touch the hair together~ Ugh! Wrong, let's chop the leeks together!"
In June, the operation department is ready to cut the 7 million registered customers of WeChat!
The promotion effect in May was too good, far exceeding their expectations.
Last month, the activity was slightly tightened, and the royalties of the authors soared like a rocket.
Especially for "Rural Rogue Doctor", the royalties went from 10,000 to 210,000, a full 21 times increase!
Capitalists are so greedy when they see this ratio.
"Why don't we post an article on the Writer Assistant app to celebrate the smooth start of the new channel?"
"Ah~ It's too early. Wait until next month, when we return to normal prices. The income will at least double! Then we will post an article to list the royalties of Pu Dingle's "Rural Rogue Doctor", to promote our WeChat Reading, and also attract some traffic to him. Pu Dingle will definitely be very happy!"
"Of course! He has to thank us! It's like compensating for his first month's advertising expenses."
During working hours, the people in the WeChat Reading Operations Department raised their glasses and drank wolfberry water together.
"Today is a day worth celebrating!"
There will be more later.
