Shenhao: Gold Medal Investor

Deng Jingyi is also a classmate of Gao Si. She is one of the six goddesses in the second class of the Department of Applied Mathematics.

On the day of the class reunion, she told her dream that the person Gao Si invested in the lottery was Chi Ying. But Chi Ying was unwilling to be lonely, so she roped in her roommate and best friend Deng Jingyi to open her small bookstore together.

To be honest, in the era of online shopping, it is very difficult for small physical businesses to survive. The two goddesses already understood their naivety in the process of looking for a store location.

However, since the investment has been taken, how can you know that you are not good if you don’t give it a try? An investment of 540,000 yuan cannot be pocketed by yourself, and it is not suitable to squander it. If you don’t use it to start a business, how can you give it back to Gao Si?

Not successful?

With the mentality of giving it a try without spending any money, they started working directly. Three thousand suspense novels were Chi Ying's ready-made collection without spending any money. The two of them took over a book store that had just closed down and the rent was not yet due.

Well. I only spent a few thousand yuan to change the sign at the door, and without even touching the decoration, I opened the Suspense Book Club.

When a new store opens, of course there will be no business.

Not only do they have no business, but the most troublesome thing is that they can't even spend their investment. As long as they have remaining funds, they have to keep the small shop going.

Deng Jingyi had nothing to do and wanted to read those suspense novels. Unexpectedly, she became addicted after reading two of them.

She feels that suspense stories should be attractive, but the threshold for reading is a bit high.

So, she came up with an idea and posted a call for manuscripts online, looking for someone who could write novels to adapt the suspense novels into dialogue-based short suspense stories, and then find a dubbing company to record them into a fifteen-minute suspense radio drama, which she would watch every day.

Premieres on Qomolangma Internet Radio at midnight.

Deng Jingyi was not sure whether this was feasible at the time. But she felt that it was much more cost-effective than advertising on group buying websites and Tongcheng.com.

Advertising dollars are gone once they are burned, but producing audio programs is different. The programs produced are just ideas. If Gao Si asked where the money was spent, he would have an explanation.

Unexpectedly, the suspense radio drama project suddenly became popular.

The income from rewards and advertising alone has already recouped the investment in the production of the radio drama.

Not only have the funds in hand not been spent, but they have also increased.

Now that the traffic is there, Deng Jingyi inserted small advertisements into her program. The target of advertising is the city of Shanghai. She called on netizens who like suspense novels to come to the store for a weekly offline gathering.

Most of the individual visitors who visit bookstores every day do not spend much. But offline gatherings are completely different. When everyone gathers together, they have the desire to compare and consume. Whether it is selling books or drinks and snacks, it is easier. Last month

, the income from selling books exceeded the rent, water and electricity for the first time, and the small bookstore actually made a profit.

If we do this, all our online and offline businesses will only be slightly better than normal at best, but they are far from being profitable.

But with traffic, many other opportunities came to the door. They first compiled the manuscript of the radio drama and published a physical book. Because the show was so popular, the publisher paid a guaranteed royalty of 500,000 yuan in advance.

The rights to the audio version of the radio drama were also recently sold to several different platforms, making another small profit.

After taking stock of the funds in the account, including the unspent investment money, there was a total of 1.3 million, which was a solid profit.

After Deng Jingyi finished telling the entrepreneurial story of Suspense Books, she smiled sheepishly.

"I'm embarrassed to say it. We girls only play small tricks and don't think about changing the world. The money we make is not even a fraction of your project."

Gao Si smiled and said: "Don't be so modest. Among the projects I have invested in, except for Wang Shanshan's Kindness Film and Television, your project has the highest return on investment. Originally, when you opened a small store, the ceiling was very low. I started

I’m not interested either. But you actually broke through this ceiling through the copyright transaction of the radio drama. The future is limitless."

Chi Ying said angrily: "Gao Si, you will give us a high hat. When we moved, we only ordered a lorry. Three thousand books were carried on our shoulders. We were almost finished.

I'm a migrant worker, but I haven't seen you come to help."

Gao Si complained in his heart, I don't know when you will move, but he said: "It's easy to say, if you two goddesses are in need, just call them, I promise to be there at your call."

Chi Ying rolled her eyes at Gao Si and said, "Forget it. Looking at your white clothes, I know you are not the material for work. You should help us give us an idea, what should we do next?"

Gao Si said: "It's very simple. The reason why you can succeed in the bookstore is due to the word vertical. There are three thousand books in the bookstore, all of which are suspense novels, which is amazing. However, there is one thing

You did something wrong, and this wrong thing may make you unlucky. Therefore, you need to correct this mistake before expanding."

Neither Chi Ying nor Deng Jingyi reacted. Are they trying to kill after they win?

Others looked at Gao Si with confusion, wondering what he was going to say.

Gao Si continued: "When you requested a manuscript, you paid the manuscript writing fee and bought out the copyright. This is a wrong approach. The correct approach is to add a share of the manuscript fee to protect the author's basic income while also working with

Only if the authors share future interests.”

"However, if we do this, our profits will be reduced by at least half, and possibly more than half."

"Pay attention to the pattern, goddesses, the pattern must be opened. Don't always look at the three melons and dates in front of you. Excellent authors who can continue to create are your wealth. Novels are the first step, radio dramas are the second step, physical books

It's the third step, and the online drama is the fourth step." Gao Si pointed at one, two, three, four with his fingers.

"What do you mean? If you sign a novel with us, it will definitely be made into a web series in the future?"

"Of course. This is your advantage. Other platforms are strict in entry and strict in exit. Anyone can write, but in the end there are very few people who can become professional writers. If you want to do it, be strict in entry and leave out. Once you sign the contract,

You will definitely be able to become addicted to screenwriting. Only by doing this can you bind excellent writers to your chariot from the beginning."

"But is it realistic for every work to be made into a web series?"

Gao Si smiled slightly: "Ten years ago, you would have thought that it would be unrealistic to turn every novel into a radio drama. Whether it is a radio drama or a TV series, shooting and production costs are falling crazily. This is a major trend brought about by technology.

.You also saw it during the graduation photo party. Now even high-level special effects can be real-time. Acting, like singing, will be a personal hobby in the future. As long as you close it at the novel stage, every work will be

Making it into a web drama is not only not a problem, it’s a trend.”

"Hey, Gao Si, why do I feel like my business has been robbed by them?" Wang Shanshan complained.

"Haha, I'll just steal your business. You'd better be prepared to accept the shooting assignment given to you by Chi Ying. Otherwise, you may not even get any work."

Wang Shanshan felt a little confused.

What the hell? Is it so curly?
