Chapter 581 Branch(1/2)
"Branch?"
If it was within Jiang Qi's expectation that Feng Zhiqiu would invite Galaxy Script Society to be the organizer of this year's autumn exhibition, then inviting him to open a branch was completely unexpected.
Scripts kill this industry. Scripts are easy to become famous, authors are easy to become famous, and certain capitalist bosses are also easy to become famous, but it is difficult for a store to become famous.
Under normal circumstances, the reputation of a store only spreads within the local area. A more famous store may spread to surrounding cities, attracting many fans of script killing.
But if you want to find a store that is truly famous all over the country and is known to everyone...
I'm afraid there is only Galaxy Script Club.
But this does not mean that Galaxy Script Agency can open branches across the country.
The downturn in the script killing industry has been going on for a long time, and many small shops opened in alleys, communities and remote locations have been on the verge of bankruptcy since the year before last.
If it weren't for the two popular new books released by Galaxy Script Society at last year's autumn show, and the dozens of board games sewn by Principal Peggy that gave small shops a breath of fresh air, I'm afraid many small shops wouldn't be able to wait.
This year’s Spring Exhibition couldn’t hold on before the Chinese New Year and collapsed one after another at the speed of dominoes, falling into the darkness before dawn.
It is the consensus of people in the industry that opening a store does not make money.
The era when you can make money by opening a store has passed; now is the era when you can make money through publishing.
Jiang Jun and Cao Luoping's JC is already one of the largest stores in Xuncheng, and its actual profitability is only about this. Otherwise, the two couples would not risk their lives for a wedding room and find friends to create a new book and sell it to make money.
Finally, I asked Jiang Qi for help and made a lot of money.
"Meet Again" and "Class Reunion Murder" released by Galaxy Script Society last year have sold more than 150,000 copies so far, and Galaxy Script Society's commission is nearly 10 million. The amazing quality of the scripts themselves and Galaxy Script
The company's amazing appeal in the script industry has caused many pirated copies of the book to be bought for 50 yuan a copy in stores with tears in their eyes and bought a genuine copy to show their respect.
It only takes one year to make a profit of tens of millions by starting a business and selling it.
If you rely on opening a store, and only open one store...
Probably dreaming is faster.
"Why did Feng Zhiqiu invite me to open a branch?" Jiang Qi asked curiously.
Faced with Jiang Qi's question, Jiang Cha said that she couldn't answer it. After all, she didn't have the ability to read minds, and Principal Peggy didn't have any truth-clarification water. Feng Zhiqiu didn't hide things in the safe or under the floor like those who went in.
Habit.
Before Jiang Cha could answer, Jiang Qi realized that he had asked a stupid question and smiled: "I'll ask Feng Zhiqiu directly on WeChat later."
With that said, Jiang Qi took out his mobile phone.
"Boss." Jiang Cha interrupted Jiang Qi's movements, "You don't need to ask on WeChat, you can just ask offline."
"ah?"
Principal Peggy smiled like Jiang Cha: "Miss Feng is in the amusement park now."
"ha?"
"Ms. Feng participated in the second round of internal beta testing of Wild Star Adventure. She came to the amusement park at the end of May and wrote 15 long internal beta reviews."
"She stayed in the Train Dada theme hotel for one week and stayed in the Snow Village the rest of the time. If nothing else happens, she should still be in closed beta testing. You can go to the Snow Village to find her directly in the evening."
Jiang Qi:……
Jiang Qi didn't know for a moment whether he should lament that Feng Zhiqiu had made a lot of money in the past two years from publishing, or lament that she was really free.
Jiang Qi didn't go to work and went out to hide from people and travel for more than a month, all under the guise of accompanying the theater troupe on tour, at least on the surface it was a business trip.
Feng Zhiqiu, on the other hand, was simply absent from work.
"Damn it, doesn't she even go to work?" Jiang Qi murmured.
Jiang Cha & Principal Peggy:……?
Are you qualified to talk about her???
.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, Jiang Qi and Feng Zhiqiu made an appointment to have dinner at Jasmine Restaurant.
After Ji Xue resigned, Shen Lirong found a way to recruit a Cantonese chef from Guangdong Province to take over the position of head chef at Jasmine Restaurant. Although the new chef could not cook Watan Huadiao Chicken, his cooking skills were superior to Ji Xue's. Many Cantonese dishes are both authentic and delicious.
If the new chef hadn't brought his own apprentice to the amusement park, I'm afraid Master Bai's reputation as the chief chef of the amusement park would be in jeopardy.
But Master Bai doesn't care. It doesn't matter if he is the chief or not, as long as he can fish without reducing his salary.
There are no private rooms in Jasmine Restaurant, so Jiang Qi and Feng Zhiqiu sat at a small table by the window on the second floor.
The two of them just sat talking carelessly in the restaurant, surrounded by tourists eating. The environment was noisy and full of people. No one would have thought that there was an amusement park owner sitting at the table by the window.
Thanks to Jiang Qi, Feng Zhiqiu also tasted the white sugar cake made by Master Bai himself.
"Boss Jiang, is your troupe's tour over?" Feng Zhiqiu asked while eating sugar cake.
"Not yet." Jiang Qi shook his head, "Qiuqiu, Jiang Cha said you want to invite Galaxy Script Club to open a branch."
Feng Zhiqiu originally wanted to talk about some things first and then get down to business. She didn't expect Jiang Qi to get straight to the point. He almost choked to death on the sugar cake when he was so excited.
"Cough cough cough, yes, cough cough cough." Feng Zhiqiu nodded repeatedly and drank a large glass of water, "I originally thought that you were on a business trip and touring, and you were very busy and didn't have time to ask about such a trivial matter, so I contacted Miss Jiang Cha. , I didn’t expect you to come back today.”
"I would like to invite you to open a branch in Shanghai, buy my store, and ask if you are willing to be the organizer of this year's autumn exhibition."
"This year's autumn exhibition will most likely be held early, expected to be in mid-September."
"Why early? Did something happen?" Jiang Qi asked.
Feng Zhiqiu smiled sheepishly: "There is a big hotel opening in Beiping at the beginning of September. There is an opening reward. It is cheaper to book it for the autumn exhibition."
Jiang Qi:……
Okay, what a simple and unpretentious reason.
Jiang Qi took a bite of the food and said, "You just said that you would take down your shop. Are you...?"
"I won't open a store anymore." Feng Zhiqiu said briskly, "I have made enough money in the past few years. Opening a store is too tiring and I have to take care of it all the time. My schedule is messed up day and night. I don't plan to do publishing. I plan to be a publisher now. Pure author, write one book a year, retire and take care of yourself."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now that we have gone straight to the topic, Feng Zhiqiu fortunately said it all.
She is different from Boss Shen who worked hard for 5 years and reached the top of the industry and came back poor. She has really made a lot of money in this industry.
Although Feng Zhiqiu's store is not located in a bustling business district, the store is now large enough, with the upper and lower floors combined covering three to four hundred square meters.
You know, this is a magical city where every inch of land is precious.
Over the years of opening a store, writing books, and publishing, Feng Zhiqiu has accumulated a very good reputation. Her store is also one of the best in Shanghai. Although the location is not good, it has its own traffic. There are 5 people in this group, and the customer base is very large.
.
Since Feng Zhiqiu revealed her intention to close the store and retire, countless colleagues have contacted her about buying a script store, and the prices they have offered are also very generous.
If it were Boss Shen, he might have nodded in agreement upon hearing the quotation.
But Feng Zhiqiu is a rich woman.
She doesn't care about money, nor does she care about the future of the store. What she cares about most is where the store's employees will go after she closes the store and leaves.
There are many people who can take over her store, but very few who can take over her studio.
Feng Zhiqiu's store not only has DMs, but also authors who have been brought in in recent years to specialize in writing books, and employees from the publishing studio. All the employees together total more than 40 people, which can barely be considered a small company.
Feng Zhiqiu originally wanted to contact Jingjing’s boss Li (one of the three organizers of last year’s autumn exhibition) to see if he could take over. However, boss Li has been wanting to enter film and television in the past two years, and the script industry is not in recession as before.
Making money every year, Boss Li has no intention of expanding the business.
Boss Shen Feng Zhiqiu actually considered it, but Boss Shen had no money and was weak-minded. The relationship between Feng Zhiqiu and Boss Shen was not good enough to donate the studio and store directly to him as a charity, so he did not consider it.
After contacting several well-known distribution studios in the industry, Feng Zhiqiu decided to turn to Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi is different from other distribution and script killing shop owners. Jiang Qi's main business is amusement parks. He has a big family and a big business, and he has a backer.
A script store can be bankrupted if asked, but a prosperous amusement park is not so easy to bankrupt. The amusement park has five insurances and one housing fund and various benefits, which is relatively stable.
Feng Zhiqiu has the circle of friends of Jiang Qi, Jiang Cha and Principal Peggy, and knows that employees of the Galaxy Script Club can be promoted to the amusement park through internal channels. She also knows that there are many graduates of the Galaxy Script Club now, and they are all beautiful and smooth.
The DM actually applied for the job with the idea that he would not be able to get into the headquarters, so he would first work in the subsidiary for two years and then find a way to be transferred into the headquarters.
Feng Zhiqiu has made enough money now, and plans to quit the business and do what she likes, retire and enjoy life. But she cannot ignore the migrant workers in the store who have worked with her from scratch for so many years, but make far less money than she does.
.
She has to find a good way out for everyone.
Amusement parks are very good, with many positions, good benefits, and high wages. They have five insurances and one housing fund, including food and accommodation, various subsidies, and overtime pay.
Crucially, it complies with labor laws!
"Boss Jiang, are you interested in taking over my store and turning it into a branch of Galaxy Script Club in Shanghai?" Feng Zhiqiu looked at Jiang Qi with bright eyes, "The price is easy to say, you can give it tens of thousands as you wish.
Just 1 yuan. I just have a grudging request. If you take over the store, can you please stop firing the previous employees of the store. The people in my current store, including DM, have basically worked with me for two years.
Above, with work experience.”
Seeing that Jiang Qi had no intention of refusing, Feng Zhiqiu thought it was interesting and continued: "I remember during the autumn exhibition last year you said that you were considering continuing to publish new volumes in the future."
"We have 17 employees in Guoguan responsible for the publishing business. There are three full-time writers and two part-time writers. All DMs are professional DMs with more than three years of work experience."
"If you are interested in taking over, I can provide you with all the design, printing, publicity, store and platform resources. Of course, you may not really need the platform resources, so it is better than nothing."
