Chapter 263: Keep Learning(1/4)
“Can a magazine as big as ours still treat authors badly?”
Now that Lu Li saw this sentence, she felt upset.
It was already evening now. She had been working hard since getting up early in the morning and now, except for eating, she had no time for leisure at all.
But despite this, the writing speed of human beings is still not as fast as that of computers. After working hard all day, my arm will be broken, but I can only write 10,000 words.
This is pretty good.
In the past, she had to send copies to editors, so she had to control the fonts and not be too sloppy.
Later, the editor commented that this was not conducive to their identification and entry, so she changed it to printing. This way, the speed was a bit faster...
But machines are still subject to wear and tear, let alone people. If you write continuously for a long time, your arms will become sore, numb and swollen in the later stages, making it difficult to maintain high efficiency.
…
From eight in the morning to six in the evening, apart from eating, drinking, and going to the toilet, she worked solidly for nine hours.
It took nine hours to write 10,000 words. Of course, it was because she had no ideas during her ex-wife period, but at the same time...
Lu Li rubbed her sore and numb elbows and wrists, feeling deeply depressed.
——Manpower is sometimes exhausted.
…
Including the 100,000 words written during the vacation and the 15,000 words written intermittently during this period, Lu Li roughly estimated that the story is almost halfway through.
In fact, she herself didn't know whether the estimate was accurate. After all, she didn't have any experience in writing so many words, so she could only rely on her feelings.
But if you can get one-third of the last manuscript fee halfway through writing, then naturally it is better to communicate with the editor early.
However, what she thought was beautiful, and what the editor said was even more beautiful.
"Don't rush to catch up with the progress so quickly. I think your book has the potential to become a hit..."
"real."
"You can extend the word count a little longer, to 300,000 words, no problem."
"The total fee for your last issue was only 1,700 yuan, all because of the small number of words! Only by writing long novels can you have a future."
"I've already given you six hundred, don't worry."
"How can a magazine as big as ours still miss your manuscript fee?"
…
Lu Li didn't answer.
She looked at the stack of magazines laid out under Chen Siyu.
Although she is no longer in the book rental business, she still has many magazines at hand.
Lu Li thought silently that if she couldn't get the money back this time, she would submit her article to another magazine next time.
In the past, it was because the article I wrote was rejected, so I didn’t have the confidence to switch to other companies, but now it’s different.
She is confident in her essay.
It's really written so smoothly and so well.
And looking at the popularity of her original post on the Tianya Haijiao forum, it proves that everyone likes to read it now.
This time, she can definitely surpass Ding Wei.
Just what Ding Wei wrote about mecha and rebirth...
Lu Li admits that she is good-looking, but it is not a popular subject?!
She was tidying up the manuscripts on the table and her mood improved now.
…
While coding in the same dormitory, Ding Wei and Lu Li may be in a situation where one is in heaven and the other is on earth.
By the time she added up the two novels and wrote another 100,000 words this weekend, the week had passed again.
Ever since she lost weight, the days when Bai Shanshan spent her free time lying in bed eating, reading novels and watching TV shows are gone forever.
She is extremely bored now, so she can only follow Chen Siyu to do odd jobs.
Although she is no longer a partner, she is a good sister. She is idle when she is idle. Lying in the dormitory, Ding Wei will definitely urge her to go out for activities again...
Hum, ruthless Weiwei.
When I wanted to get a massage or take a bath, I would call her "cute". Now that I am addicted to work, I would ask her to go out and exercise to lose weight.
This heartless woman.
…
Chen Siyu has officially started recruiting employees.
Her store has now been upgraded and has a lot of customers every day.
When Zheng Minghe and the others were no longer able to take care of both, she officially started interviewing employees.
Fortunately, even if the store is upgraded, one employee should be able to take care of it if the size of the store is placed here.
However, to be on the safe side, I plan to hire an extra packager and delivery person to look after the warehouse, so that the two of them can take turns doing customer service.
At worst, I'll give you more overtime pay.
This ruthless capitalist has shown her fangs.
…
But even though we only planned to recruit two people, the small garage could no longer accommodate so many things.
In particular, the community express truck comes to collect the goods every day, and the door cannot be kept closed during the day. There are so many densely packed clothes inside, which inevitably attracts inquiries from enthusiastic aunties.
If they hadn't taken the initiative to say that these were not for sale, the aunts would have touched them and put them on before wearing them.
As we all know, there are no secrets in the circle of aunties.
Back and forth, many people pass by the garage every day and want to see how the business is doing, which is said to be selling clothes and wholesale... In the long run, it will inevitably attract the covetousness of interested people.
Chen Siyu also felt that this place was not very safe.
Today's public security is not as good as that of later generations. What's more, even if it were as good as that of later generations, she would not dare to take risks even if she has ten thousand to twenty thousand goods here.
Fortunately, good people don't admit defeat.
Chen Siyu quickly got the answer from the space. Everyone suggested that she apply for a business license and see if she could get insurance for her employees, so that if something went wrong, she could get to the bottom of it.
On the other hand, it is also a reassurance for employees. Otherwise, they have to go to class by themselves. Only employees are here every day. If they have bad intentions, it will be too late to stop them, and it is impossible for her to drop out of school because she cares about business.
…
Then, since we are selling things online, the imperial capital is currently developing an e-commerce park in full swing.
Each merchant has a dedicated warehouse and workshop according to different needs, and express delivery is delivered to the door at a designated location. The building has 24-hour security and monitoring, as well as dedicated property service personnel.
In addition, if necessary, regarding employee accommodation, you can also consider the supporting community nearby, where the houses are cheap to rent.
No matter from the environment or long-term development point of view, it is better than being in this small garage.
…
More importantly, I heard that the government will provide a certain degree of policy preference and preferential treatment to those who settle in the e-commerce park. Including cooperation with the Taotaobao website, there will also be some key support projects that you can participate in.
In this case, it is urgent to move the warehouse.
It's easy to move.
Ding Wei has a car now, so when this wave of goods is quickly cleared, she can just pull some simple things over.
But the problem is that the e-commerce park is far away, and it will not be so convenient to run from the school there in the future.
"what to do?"
Now Ding Wei can't give any good advice.
The academic qualifications from the University of Ming Dynasty are very important, and the knowledge taught there is even more important, especially since Chen Siyu is now doing well in business and has begun to attend courses in other departments.
Everyone is studying Chinese, so why does Ding Wei always speak so clearly and constructively?
But she can only applaud like crazy seals. Doesn’t it mean that she has no future?
Chen Siyu pondered that if he could not continuously improve himself, even if the business became bigger, whether he could manage it well or not would still be two different things.
Nowadays, there are ready-made opportunities that cost no money. If you don’t learn, you won’t learn!
Business expert Chen Siyu will never miss any opportunity!
…
But as Ding Wei said, e-commerce is rising rapidly in recent years. It is a rare opportunity. If you stop to further your education at this time, won't you miss a great opportunity to take off?
For a time, she could only take care of both ends, and her whole body was like a spinning top.
To be honest, there are quite a few people starting their own businesses in schools these days. Maybe they started from a small business like selling clothes, but quickly made the online store so big, and they were still working alone, and that’s Chen Siyu.
To be continued...
