"Xingjin Yujia, give him the contract." Su Jie snapped his fingers, followed Xingjin Yujia next to Su Jie to open his briefcase, took out a stack of contracts, and walked to the early cartoonist according to Su Jie's instructions. put it on the table.

The young manga artist clenched his fists, as if he had a foreboding, his body was shaking slightly.

It's a pity that it's too late to go back on it now, Su Jie smiled coldly and said, "I have already received your opinion, and now, as the president of Brunei Publishing House, I will terminate the contract between Brunei Publishing House and you. Wages and compensation will be credited to your account, and now you can leave here, I wish you a good job in a different environment."

"You...you can't do this, you can't...I worked for Brunei Press for three years, why did you drive me away."

The early cartoonist gritted his teeth, his chest heaving violently, as if it would explode at any moment.

"Oh, you worked for Brunei Publishing House for three years, but how much value did you create? You haven't had much vacation time, Xingjin Yuka, what did you tell him to do for the publishing house?"

"Yes!" Xingjin Yuka lifted the black hair that covered her left eye, and started serious mode: "Fujiwara Hisakusaku, since he joined the company on May 1997, 5, he has worked for three years and one month, during which he has serialized eleven comics. Absenteeism for 17 periods, the popularity index of the comic "Witch of the Night" is currently less than 26 in the "Literary World", and the average sales volume of the single volume is 719..."

One by one detailed data came from Xingjin Yuka's mouth. Every time he said a data, Fujiwara Hisakusaku's body trembled, and his face turned red.

Not to mention that he has worked for three years and has a total of two years of vacation, the sales data of his works are simply appalling. Not to mention that such data brings value to the publishing house, his pants will be lost. "

"How? Did you bring value to Brunei Publishing House, or did you rely on Brunei Publishing House to suck blood." Su Jie snorted heavily, looking at Fujiwara Hisakusaku with shame and annoyance.

Fujiwara Hisakusaku subconsciously looked at other colleagues, hoping that someone could help him with a few words. As a result, all the cartoonists and writers turned their attention away, their eyes were erratic and lacked focus. Lonely old man.

The angry Fujiwara Hisakusaku's face was darkened. Before, no one wanted to stand up in front of Su Jie, but now he came out on his own, for the sake of not everyone's interests, but ended up in such an uninterested end.

Fujiwara Hisakuo was so mad that he didn't die of anger. He finally threw his sleeves and pointed at Su Jie: "You can be proud of yourself now. Without the support of us cartoonists, I see what you can do to manage it."

Abandoning these cruel words, Fujiwara Hisakusaku continued to stay ashamed, turned his head and walked out of the conference room.

"If it were all a cartoonist like you, I would rather let the Brunei publishing house go out of business." Su Jie pouted in disdain, and then looked at the crowd below: "Well, who else is dissatisfied with my decision? I can let you go at any time, Fujiwara Hisakusaku hasn't gone far, and those who are willing to be with him can still catch up now."

In the face of Su Jie's blatant words, the cartoonists and light novel authors below were silent, and none of them were stupid. After all, there were very few people who were impulsive and mindless like Fujiwara Hisakusaku, and very few people who fought hard with the boss would have a good end.

They can all foresee the life of Fujiwara Hisakusaku in the future. As far as his 719 volumes of comics are all single, which publishing house can read them?

Although Brunei Publishing House cannot become famous, at least the comics you draw can be counted according to the number of pages, and the novels you write can also be sold in bookstores and get a commission. Compensation money is useless. In the current economic depression in Japan, it is difficult to find a job. Sooner or later, you will be hungry.

"I'll take it as your default when no one speaks."

There was a smile on the corner of Su Jie's mouth, he moved a stool and sat down, looking at the cartoonist light novel authors, as if he had changed someone, and smiled gently: "I know you all say in your heart that I am not friendly, in fact, I am People are very talkative and never quarrel with people."

It's weird to believe you.

The cartoonists shouted in their hearts. In their eyes, Su Jie is similar to a man-eating devil. The only difference is that Su Jie is wearing a human skin.

"After the revision of Brunei Press in the future, many of our measures need to be changed, and at the same time..."

When Su Jie said this, many people below started to get restless. Those cartoonists and light novel authors were afraid that Su Jie would say something severe about reforms.

"At the same time, wages and benefits will also increase. When you work at Brunei Publishing House, you will experience a completely different feeling from before. Starting today, the basic salary of cartoonists and light novel authors will increase by 15%. The sales of novels will increase by 2%, for a total of 12% of the sales.”

Su Jie said with a half-smiling smile, as soon as these words came out, the worried cartoonists and light novel authors immediately opened their mouths, and everyone was stunned.

Originally thought that Su Jie was going to target them, but he didn't expect to give them welfare, and it was not an ordinary welfare.

In Japan, whether you are a cartoonist or a light novel author, if you want to make money, you have to rely on the sales of single books and novels. In this regard, publishing houses generally give authors 10% of the copyright revenue, and those who squeeze a little bit more are 5-8%. Lai Publishing House is sharing 10% of the copyright to cartoonists and authors, and now Su Jie has increased the share to 12%, which makes these cartoonists and authors fall into a dream.

This move by Su Jie completely broke the conventions and rules of the publishing house. Generally, the copyright share of other publishing houses will not exceed 10%.The single volume of several comics has brought huge profits to Weekly Shonen Jump, but the copyright share is still 10%, which has become the default unspoken rule of the publishing house.

So after Su Jie announced the good share, these cartoonists and light novel authors were full of excitement and fanaticism. The 2% increase in the copyright share seems insignificant, but it means that the income of cartoonists and authors can increase by one-fifth. This is what cartoonists and light novel authors want to see the most. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to live in Tokyo, a high-cost city, based on the basic salary of the number of pages of comics and the number of words in the novel.

"President Su, you...are you serious?" A light novel author bit her lip and turned white, not knowing, almost suspecting that she heard it wrong, eager to hear the real answer.

"If that's true, then... that's great, I hope it's not a lie."

"I suddenly felt that it would be good to stay at Brunei Publishing House and observe three seconds of silence for Hisa Fujiwara."

"What's in it for me to lie to you? I won't know if it's true or false until the salary is paid next month. I'm not short of this money."

Su Jie was full of confidence. Facing the skeptical or excited eyes of these cartoonists and authors, he pretended to say: "Do you know how much I paid for Brunei Publishing House? 8000 million yen, do you know how much my car cost?" [-] million yen, do you know how much my net worth is? Even I don’t know, because my net worth is increasing countless every day. In short, I will not deceive you to earn that little money. I can drink afternoon tea It's not worth the points."

Depend on!

Many cartoonist light novel authors rolled their eyes, and no one dared to brazenly show off their wealth.

But after rolling their eyes, it was their ecstatic smiles. If what Su Jie said was true, at least Su Jie had the capital to guarantee his promise, which made them anxious and had Dinghaishenzhen. No one thought it was too much money, right?

Seeing these ecstatic expressions, Su Jie shook his head. The matter was much simpler than he imagined. With a big stick and a radish in one hand, he gave benefits after dismounting. Few people would resist Su Jie's orders.

Even if there is, they have to keep it in their hearts and can't say it, otherwise 12% of the copyright will be gone from them.

In essence, these cartoonists and light novel writers are a bit nerdy, and their thoughts are relatively simple. Otherwise, it is estimated that some people will flatter Su Jie at this time. They do not have so much heart to oppose Su Jie. Brunei Press is still satisfied.

"Okay, the meeting is over. I hope you will remember my words. Next Monday, "Literature and Art World" will have a new serial issue. I don't want to see someone give me a vacation. The same is true for light novel authors. roll."

After a few reminders, Su Jie announced the end of the meeting and let these cartoonists and light novel writers leave.

So far, Su Jie took half a day to bring Brunei Publishing House under control, and initially let his prestige go down.

"The next step is to recruit new editors and other employees. Xingjin Yujia, you should take more care of this. I have to trouble you for the time being."

"Communications with other bookstores and other channels also need to be discussed. The new owner has to have a new look and increase the distribution channels."

"By the way, we have to launch a new essay competition award to attract a group of high-quality newcomers to Brunei Press. With the original team, nothing can be developed."

Thinking of a bunch of troubles at Brunei Publishing House, Su Jie had a headache. Su Jie was not good at these things, so it seemed that he had to find someone to share with him.

Chapter 340 Three: Editor-in-Chief Candidate: Yukinoshita

Brunei Publishing House was wholly acquired, and this trivial matter did not make any waves in the publishing circle of the industry pill.

Originally, Wenlai Publishing House was the worst group, and neither authors, bookstores nor other publishing companies looked down on it very much. Naturally, such a small publishing house would not receive much attention if it changed hands.

However, the so-called money can make a ghost run the mill. When the high salary package began to recruit employees, it was quite attractive. Many editors, proofreaders, publishers, etc. began to apply for jobs. Lai Publishing House is in a situation of shortage of staff.

"Thank you for paying attention to Brunei Press and applying for our position. You can be seen through the interview that you are an excellent talent. But after a comprehensive evaluation, we think that you are not suitable for our position at the moment, um, okay, thank you Your understanding, thank you again for your participation! I wish you a smooth job search and a bright future!"

In the general affairs office of Brunei Publishing House, Xingjin Yujia rubbed her understated eyebrows and hung up the phone again speechlessly.

This is already the fifth day that Su Jie has been in the Brunei Publishing House. Since Su Jie appeared on the first day, he has left the big and small matters of the publishing house to Xingjin Yujia. Essence.

Xingjin Yujia, the first secretary of Su Jie who has been with Su Jie for the longest time and manages the Firefly Animation Company in an orderly manner, is also Su Jie who has no talent and has no choice but to move to Brunei Publishing House to take care of it first.

But Su Jie forgot that Xingjin Yujia manages the animation company. It can't be said that he has no understanding of comics and light novels, but he is not good at it. Such a knowledge reserve makes it difficult for Xingjin Yujia to manage it, and he is deeply tired and tired. pressure.

Therefore, Xingjin Yujia, who is not good at these matters, can only increase the intensity of recruiting employees, especially senior talents, and maximize the recruitment allowance given to her by Su Jie, hoping to implement the recruitment of senior talents as soon as possible. After all, she still has to When she went back to Firefly, she couldn't stay in Brunei Publishing House for long. She didn't want to see the Brunei Publishing House in a quagmire when Su Jie came back.

In the face of urgent demand and labor shortage, Brunei Publishing House’s high salary is not small, and ordinary employees are basically recruited. Now they are working with the company as soon as possible. For senior talents, even if the salary is high, but for senior talents It's really not attractive.

Especially the position of editor-in-chief, who can manage the affairs of the publishing house, is not very popular. People with this level generally have more choices. High salary is not the only requirement. Qualifications, reputation, self-realization, and even equity. Wait, they value more things than the small Brunei publishing house.

Occasionally, there are interviews, and most of them are trying to fish in troubled waters. The real materials are not much, but they like the lion to open its mouth and open its mouth. Paid vacation or something, but when I asked about my qualifications, and when I asked about my past employment in other companies, they all hesitated, and they wanted to beat people with anger.

In fact, Xingjin Yujia does not expect Brunei Publishing House to attract Golden Phoenix, but at least you have to be more reliable, right?

The guy who called him just now, has been in the publishing industry for less than two years, and has been fired five or six times. He came directly to apply for the position of editor-in-chief, and he was able to finish the phone call with a smile on his face. Conserved.

Although Brunei Publishing House is small, it does not mean that there is too much money and no place to spend. Who is willing to spend a lot of money to attract parallel import management publishing houses, then whether the publishing house can survive this year is a question.

"Xingjin Yujia General Manager, someone has come to apply for the position of editor-in-chief."

An employee knocked on the office door and came in to report to Xingjin Yuka.

In order to make it easier for Xingjin Yujia to work in Brunei Publishing House, Su Jie gave Xingjin Yujia a title of general manager. Just like in Firefly, in addition to communicating with the author and cartoonist, Xingjin Yujia has the right to manage the company's major affairs. first hand.

"What kind of person is coming?"

Xingjin Yuka sighed secretly, praying that there would not be another guy who recharges the money. Do you really think that Brunei Press is small enough to come in as an executive and cheat money?

"That... is a girl." The employee scratched the back of his head and said cautiously.

In the past few days at Brunei Publishing House, the employees have seen the iron skills of Xingjin Yujia, a cold beauty. She is strict and serious with her subordinates. If the cartoonist light novel author of Brunei Publishing House is afraid of Su Jie, then this batch of newly recruited employees is afraid of Xingjin Yujia.

"Girl? How old is she?" Xingjin Yujia had a bad premonition when she heard the three words 'girl' to describe her age.

"About 18 years old, looks like he just graduated from high school."

"I graduated from high school to apply for the editor-in-chief." Xingjin Yuka took a few deep breaths, resisted the urge to go crazy, tried her best to calm down the depression in her heart, and said, "Please come in."

When the staff went out, Xingjin Yujia patted her headache, sometimes she really wanted to say something to Su Jie: Whoever loves to do it in this publishing house will do it, my mother will not serve it.

But after all, it is Su Jie who is entrusted with the important task. I unconditionally believe that Xingjin You Jiacai will give her management of Brunei Publishing House, plus her professionalism, she can resist this impulse, no matter how to look at the recruits first, so as not to be accused by others To live up to Su Jie's trust.

Xingjin Yuka was not allowed to wait for a long time, and soon the office door was pushed open again, and a stunning and beautiful girl wearing a light brown plaid skirt, black silk stockings wrapped her slender legs, and a cool temperament walked in.

"Good afternoon, welcome ma'am. You can come to Brunei Press for an interview. The weather is a little hot today. You can come and work hard for you."

Xingjin Yuka smiled and exchanged a few words with the visitor.

"It's okay." The cold and beautiful girl said very little. If others Xingjin Yuka thought it was because the novice was too nervous, but in front of this girl, she felt that it was a kind of high-pitched, cold and lonely, a natural sense of alienation .

For some unknown reason, Xingjin Yujia saw some shadows of herself in her, because people usually say she is a cold beauty.

The two women with cold personalities stood up together. In general, Yukinoshita Yukino is colder. If Xingjin Yuka is winter, then Yukinoshita Yukino is the South Pole.

"Please introduce yourself, have you brought your resume?" Seeing that the girl is not someone who likes to talk, Xingjin Yuka also began to get to the point.

The girl nodded and handed her resume in front of Xingjin Yuka, then looked straight ahead, and said indifferently, "My name is Yukino Yukino, I graduated from Toyonozaki High School, and I have been interested in literature and various artistic creations since childhood. The moderators of the novels and comics section of the UTS Literature Forum manage and communicate with the novel readers and comic fans gathered in the forum. At the same time, because UTS is also an online book sales platform, I am also responsible for the distribution, online sales of novel books and comics. The distribution of goods in the next channel, and the publicity arrangement have been part-time..."

After a short self-introduction, Xingjin Yuka couldn't help but feel refreshed, her eyebrows relaxed a lot, and she fixedly looked at the girl who was like a proud snow and cold plum in front of her.

Among the many job applicants who have interviewed for the editor-in-chief, Yukinoshita Yukinoshi is the most reliable one she has encountered so far. At least she is not bad just looking at her resume, and she has management experience in online literature forums.

"Please wait a moment!" Xingjin Yuka entered the relevant information provided by Yukino Yukinoshita on the computer, and she found the self-introduction she said, which was not false, and also learned about the UTS literature forum, which is quite large. There are many novels and comics fans browsed every day.

"Very beautiful resume, but literary forums and publishing houses are different. Can you briefly describe the work of the editor-in-chief? If you were the editor-in-chief, how would you manage the Brunei Press?"

Xingjin Yuka asked with interest. Although she is not a professional, she has already learned about the position of editor-in-chief and heard the request made by Su Jie. She would like to hear Yukino Yukinoshita's opinion on this.

"The editor-in-chief, as the main person in charge of the publishing house, can be roughly divided into three tasks: the supervision and operation manager of the publishing business, the final judge of the review and processing of the works of the cartoonists and authors, and the commander of the editing work.

The second question, if I were to become the editor-in-chief, I would first cut off all the cartoonists who were on long-term vacation, and changed the serialization of my comics magazine to a weekly issue.

As a small publishing house, Brunei Studios should take a fast-paced and high-quality route. The long cycle of monthly serialization means a serious lag in publicity and promotion, the extension of capital returns, the difficulty of cultivating readers' dependence, and the laxity of cartoonists.

Weekly serialization can solve these problems very well, adjust the potential of animation artists, let readers buy comic magazines to generate inertia, speed up the return of funds, and improve the promotion of magazine works and the packaging of cartoonists.

Secondly, I have been working on online literature forums before, and I have some opinions on the networkization of this publishing house. Today, with the increasing popularity of smart phones and the rapid development of the Internet, I think Brunei Publishing House needs to promote digital publishing and sales. Use the Internet as a medium to sell e-books and seize this market that is rarely developed for the time being.

Finally, in addition to the efforts in the production and sales of publications, I noticed that Brunei Publishing House has little or no secondary use of the content of publications. The filming of publications, the development of comic characters, etc. are actually all It is the main profit growth point.

As for the secondary use of the publishing house, I also know that it needs to benefit from the talent improvement of comics and authors. At present, it is still difficult for Brunei publishing house to achieve. Poaching, especially other well-known publishers, such as Weekly Shonen Jump manga magazine.

We can poach outstanding cartoonists who failed to submit their manuscripts for Weekly Shonen Jump. Even if these are selected by others, they can be effectively developed and utilized for our Brunei Publishing House. Brunei Publishing House is small in size and has a small appetite. Expecting to eat into a fat man in one breath, at least gradually achieve a steady improvement. "

Yukinoshita Yukino explained her views and plans for Brunei Press, and she remained expressionless during the process.

Those indifferent eyes and cold face didn't seem to be moved by anything, but it was easy for people to trust her and subconsciously believe that what she said was true.
