Chapter 164 Nothing exists, except now
"Really? Thank God, after using it for so long, I found someone." Lu Ze sighed happily.
[Shiguang] Magazine, now there are only some part-time college girls, and no one takes on the heavy responsibility of the magazine. At the beginning, Lu Ze planned to recruit a full-time editor-in-chief and then paired with one or two assistants, so that the magazine could be operated.
But after so many days of recruiting, there was no suitable candidate. Unexpectedly, good news suddenly came from Liu Min today.
Liu Min smiled and said, "Boss, you can take the time to go to the city again. I will arrange the interview time in advance."
"Okay, then it's better to meet in the magazine's office on Sunday afternoon." Lu Ze replied.
Liu Min agreed that it was also luck to be able to recruit the right candidate this time, because the other party actually came to him and recommended himself.
On Sunday afternoon, Lu Ze traveled alone and rushed to the city soon. When he arrived at the office of the [Shiguang] magazine, the job seeker was already waiting for him.
Lu Ze learned her name in advance - Zhang Yu, the deputy editor-in-chief of Jiangyou Literature magazine.
"Mr. Lu, good afternoon!" Seeing Lu Ze coming, the part-time college students were very happy and greeted him enthusiastically.
Zhang Yu also stood up and said, "Hello, Mr. Lu! I heard everyone say that I can't believe it, but I didn't expect that you are younger than the legend."
"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Zhang! Sitting inside, let's go in and talk." As he said that, Lu Ze led her to the inner room.
The two sat opposite each other, Lu Ze was holding her resume in his hand, watching quickly while chatting with each other.
Lu Zexian asked: "Editor Zhang, I heard that you came to apply for a job on your own initiative. Reading your resume, you used to work in a regular magazine, so why did you think about going to our internal magazine for an interview this time?"
"Mr. Lu, it's not to be hiding. The magazine I used to work for, and the publication of "Xijiang Literature" has been closed for more than half a year. The magazine's performance is not good now, so I stopped paying and stayed at work to make a fortune, but I haven't found a very suitable opportunity.
A few days ago, I saw this [Shiguang] magazine on my daughter's desk and immediately grabbed my eyes. After asking my daughter, I learned that such a new journal has been circulating in middle school recently.
I was looking for a new job opportunity, so I asked someone to inquire. Now, today I came to the door directly." Zhang Yu said in an orderly manner.
Lu Ze then asked: "Editor Zhang, based on your experience and background, why can't you find the opportunity? You are so inexperienced to work in our small magazine."
"Where? The newspaper and magazine industry actually have few job opportunities. Especially the magazines I worked for before, because they run pure literature magazines, fewer and fewer people have to close the publication. This situation is very common all over the country.
I have read [Shiguang] magazine, and I think the content in it is very novel. I feel that the content pursued by the magazine is exactly the direction I like to work. So I recommend myself and I hope Mr. Lu doesn’t mind.” Zhang Yu replied very sincerely.
Lu Ze smiled: "The editor-in-chief position of our magazine is indeed a vacant position, and the salary will not be lower than that of your previous magazine. As long as you are willing, I will definitely welcome you very much."
"That's great, Mr. Lu! I've been suspended from my salary anyway, so I can report to you at any time." Zhang Yu immediately agreed and was very excited.
She has worked in the journal industry for many years and is very familiar with the current situation in the journal industry. Not to mention the pure literary magazines before their magazines, even the publication of some once best-selling mass magazines is declining year by year.
The reason why she came to her house on her own initiative was because she saw a special topic launched in Mengya magazine some time ago - "What to do with education".
Zhang Yu seemed to have grasped something, but he was puzzled until she saw the [Shiguang] magazine in her daughter, and her eyes lit up in an instant and she caught the context of the matter.
The content of [Shiguang] magazine, the youth campus novels serialized on it, aren’t they the favorite things for young readers on campus?
Otherwise, how could his daughter and her classmates not let go of [Shiguang] magazine?
Young people who have left campus and entered society and have already worked will definitely get further and further away from literature. Only on campus is the best living soil for literature.
[Shiguang] Magazine focuses on young readers on campus and will definitely be able to take a different path.
This is an analysis that Zhang Yu obtained in a short time after seeing [Shiguang] magazine. Therefore, she made up her mind that she must seize the opportunity and find [Shiguang Magazine] to find a job.
After she asked, she recommended herself and found out today's interview.
Lu Ze stretched out his right hand, shook Zhang Yu and welcomed him: "From now, you will be the editor-in-chief of [Shiguang Magazine]."
Regardless of whether the magazine is in a downturn or not, he is willing to work in the internal magazine of his company, the grass-roots team. He is simply unsuccessful.
With Zhang Yu's work experience, it should be fine to be competent for this editor-in-chief position. But you have to adapt to it, be familiar with the requirements of the manual business for journals, and ensure that the content must serve the product.
So, Lu Ze and she gave a detailed introduction to the original intention of [Shiguang] cultural and creative company and the establishment of member journals and magazines. Moreover, they briefly explained the creation process and team of the previous two issues.
When Zhang Yu learned that the contents of the first two issues of [Shiguang] magazine came from the high school student team, he exclaimed in surprise and even said that he wanted to meet Lin Youyou, the former head of [Shiguang] magazine.
In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the two determined the matters related to joining the company. Zhang Yu will take up his post in the next two days and take on the role of editor-in-chief of [Shiguang] magazine.
At the same time, Lu Ze promised to assign her two assistants to be responsible for all the contents together.
Finally, Lu Ze gave her two tasks.
One is responsible for handling the issue number matters; the other is to contact and negotiate as soon as possible, and the serialization authorization of "First Intimate Contact".
Lu Ze gave her permission, and even if she paid a high price, she had to get these two things done as soon as possible.
He gave an order, hoping that the serialized content of "First Intimate Contact" could be seen in the first issue of [Shiguang] magazine in 1999.
After Zhang Yu joined the company, he was very decisive and acted very vigorously. While planning and organizing the content of the third issue of the magazine, he was busy with two things Lu Ze explained.
With her work experience, industry connections and journal issues, she successfully reached a cooperation with the magazine where she used to work.
He socializes a 500,000 yuan management fee to the magazine every year and obtains the right to use the original "Xijiang Literature" journal number.
The original "Xijiang Literature" is just an inconspicuous small magazine in Jiangyou Province, and its influence is more than three provinces. The journal number is transferred and authorized, and the superior supervisory unit turned a blind eye and successfully filed it.
But another thing, I'm in trouble.
Because the physical book "First Intimate Contact" is being sold in Baodao, the other party is reluctant to hand over the novel to [Shiguang] magazine for serialization.
The other party hoped to find a publishing house to cooperate with it and directly publish physical books. Finally, Lu Ze proposed a plan.
First, it will be serialized by [Shiguang] magazine and pay a one million serial licensing fee. When the novel serialization is about to end, you will find a magazine to publish and cooperate to publish physical books.
[Shiguang] Magazine will promote the physical books of novels for free and share sales channels.
Zhang Yu used his connections to find a very small publishing house to cooperate with him to jointly publish the physical book "First Intimate Contact".
This time, [Shiguang] Company will give up all the proceeds from physical book publishing and return them to the publisher and author of the novel in Baodao.
Only after packing these generous conditions together finally moved the publishing house and the author of Baodao, and successfully obtained the serialization authorization for the novel.
Good things have gone through, and the problem has finally been solved as expected.
[Shiguang] The company's handbook business is getting better and better with the deepening promotion of the market, and its revenue is also growing day by day.
Ten million, twenty million..., every day is setting new records.
As time comes, it is coming to the end of 1998.
In a blink of an eye, Lu Ze returned home and had spent nearly half a year. He seemed to have gained a deeper understanding of the classic in Hemingway's "For Whom the Death Bell is Sounding".
"Nothing exists except now.
It is true that there is no yesterday and no tomorrow.
