Chapter 204 White Whale(2/2)
Wang Zixu was stunned and immediately said: "Where is her home? Let me bring her some food."
"There's no need for you to step in, I'll just go." Ning Chunyan patted his shoulder with a half-smile. In the eyes of people who didn't know Chen Qingluo's writing habits, her smile was strange.
Ning Chunyan went on to say: "Since the Little Prince's issue became popular, our sales in the last few issues have not been very good."
Wang Zixu nodded: "It's normal. Many people just read it as a novelty. After buying one issue, they may not buy the next one."
"Yes, I was dazzled by the traffic of Little Prince, and I overestimated the current paper media market." Ning Chunyan said, "The issue of Little Prince was sold out, and I kept printing more copies. As a result, the last two issues
, sales volume has been cut in half, and in this latest issue, it is even cut in half.”
Wang Zixu said: "Did you lose money?"
Ning Chunyan's expression was a bit bitter: "It's okay to lose money, but the key printing factory refuses to give in. If we reduce the printing volume, the charge will not be much lower. If we print too much, we won't be able to sell it, and we have to backlog it in the warehouse.
You have to pay warehouse fees.”
Wang Zixu asked cautiously: "So there is no problem with funds now?"
"Barely breaking even - Breaking even means breaking even when the funds are used up. If you still lose money in the next period, you will have to pay for it."
Diao Yiwen asked: "Sister Xiaochun, how can we change this situation next?"
"Invite more manuscripts and make more good manuscripts." Ning Chunyan waved his hand, "We can't just have one little prince. We need to cultivate more newcomers who can hold up the table. It is best to use the remaining influence now to make appointments with a few
A manuscript by a famous writer."
After finishing speaking, she was stunned and couldn't help but feel sad: "Originally, the purpose of setting up this magazine was to change the current situation of only recruiting celebrities for articles, but now we are forced to embark on this path!"
Diao Yiwen said: "There is no way, Sister Xiaochun, reality is like this. Readers are very realistic. If you don't publish celebrity articles, they will never pay for it."
Ning Chunyan turned to Wang Zixu: "What did you want to say to me just now?"
"nothing."
Wang Zixu had long given up on asking her for money. He was also a poor man.
"Why don't you start now? You all go to well-known writers to ask for manuscripts. Come on, I have the contact information of many writers here. You can contact them..."
Diao Yiwen hesitated and said: "Sister Xiaochun, I am not familiar with her, can I get an appointment for the manuscript?"
"It's okay. Just chat with them and you'll get used to it. They don't care about "Xin Shan"'s face, but they also care about my face."
"Sister Xiaochun, I believe they will take your face into account. What if they just talk to me but don't give me a manuscript?"
"Then let's just wait to die!"
Wang Zixu walked out of the door silently and looked at the sky outside the railing for a while, when suddenly there was a "thump" in his mind.
Then, he immediately turned around, returned to the room, and said to Ning Chunyan:
"Spring Banquet, do you want to ask the little prince to make an appointment?"
The room fell silent. Ning Chunyan stared at him with her beautiful eyes and said, "What did you call me just now?"
"I call you editor-in-chief."
Ning Chunyan said nothing and lowered his head to pack his things.
"Let's ask the little prince to make an appointment." Wang Zixu suggested again, "Let's promote it properly. If the sales of the next issue increase, our reputation will also be spread, and the financial situation will be much better."
Ning Chunyan packed her things and used her hand movements to cover up her panic: "No way."
"Why not?"
"We can't be too, too..." After hesitating for a long time, Ning Chunyan lowered his voice and said, "We are too dependent on him."
After she said this, her face turned red again.
Wang Zixu ignored the little daughter's attitude and said: "This is not a matter of dependence or not. Our life and death are at stake now, so what if we ask him for help?"
"It's not so scary as a matter of life and death, right?"
Diao Yiwen also helped: "Yes, just ask him for help. He will definitely be willing to help. If it doesn't work, editor-in-chief, just pledge yourself to me."
"What are you talking about?"
The two women started quarreling again.
Wang Zixu's cell phone rang. He looked down and saw that it was Xiao Mengyin.
