Being a wise man, I am serious

Chapter 188
"Can you really invite me? How much is Dalang-jun's platform fee?" Qin Xiong asked immediately.

"I guess I can't invite him. He's too busy to make money. He earns more money than you. He won't come out to the platform casually." Zhang Wenshan responded.

"Since this is the case, it's better to invite a few well-known gods in the province directly. First, the reputation will not be much weaker, and second, it can save some money." Qin Xiong.

"If you just invite people from the province, then you don't need to pay. You will receive it well at that time. The unveiling ceremony is over. Please visit the scenic spots in Xiangcheng and arrange a few meals. It should be almost the same." Zhang Wenshan laughed.

"You can have this." Qin Xiong nodded.

After talking about the business, Qin Xiong was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Tang Qingya came to him again.

"I thought about it carefully, and I think I should report to you." Since Tang Qingya became the operation director of Writers' Village, during normal working hours, she always chatted with him about business matters, and directly communicated with him as her boss.

"What's the matter?" Qin Xiong asked.

"You have to be aware of the monthly basic expenses of the writer's village." Tang Qingya.

"Okay, then you can just say it, I'll listen." Qin Xiong said.

"At present, my salary is [-], my sister's is [-], and the two disabled cleaning staff are [-] each. The retired old accountant who is about to take office is estimated to be [-]. If it is lower, you will not be able to hire it." , People's pension is more than that, the new accountant in the association, two thousand..." Tang Qingya reported one by one.

"Just tell me directly, how much is the total basic monthly expenses?" Qin Xiong asked.

"Currently, according to statistics, it is [-], which is just the monthly labor expenses." Tang Qingya said.

"If all 15 members who intend to enter the writer's village are in place, how much income can they generate each month?" Qin Xiong asked again.

"According to the data they filled in before, if the water is not big, the monthly income is [-], five, the monthly income is [-], five, and the others are basically only one or two thousand, or no income, then, according to the [-] of the manuscript fee Ten percent of the rent is charged, which is about [-]." Tang Qingya said.

"Is there such a big difference between the two?" Qin Xiong was a little surprised when he heard this.

"About 24000 a month. Besides, you only charge for accommodation, and you don't charge for water and electricity. The three writers' buildings are also hot in summer. Each code room has to be air-conditioned, and the firepower is fully turned on. It is 12 per month. The electricity bill is 40 a year, and the annual loss is about [-]. In addition, you also promised to repay me [-] a year, which is [-]. On average, the monthly loss is about [-]..." Tang Qingya said.

"Oh my god, I really don't know. I was shocked when I calculated it. I usually don't have extra copyright income. My monthly manuscript fee is only tens of thousands. If this continues, let alone return the money, I may not be able to support it. It must go on, after all, the later the book is written, the less follow-up and new additions will be made, and this income may not be stable." Qin Xiong was also a little frightened when he heard this.

Although he wanted to do something good, he had to do it within his ability. If he insisted on playing like this, he could lose all his wealth and the writer's village in a few years.

Of course, with the momentum, he should be able to get some financial support from the government, but that won't be much, and it won't last.

Seeing that Qin Xiong remained silent, Tang Qingya said: "So, I suggested to you before that you must try to recruit relatively mature and accomplished writers. In this case, 15 writers, with a monthly rent of [-], is one Five thousand, then, let’s think about other ways to increase income.”

"This area should not be the main income-generating business of the Writer's Village. What do you think of turning this place into a check-in point for internet celebrities?" Qin Xiong asked.

"It's already there. Every day at least dozens of people come to take pictures and check in. However, their consumption is quite limited. They can buy some water or drinks at most, and there is no other consumption." Tang Qingya said.

"How about selling books? Get some signed books by famous masters, and display some published online novels..." Qin Xiong realized that after the stalls in the Writers' Village expanded, profitability was indeed a big problem, and a solution had to be found.

"It's also difficult. Nowadays, many people like to use their mobile phones to read books. There are very few people who buy books. Moreover, even if they buy books, the [-]% discount on Dangdang is not cheaper than yours? You can also sell them at this price. I guarantee that you will lose your pants. .” Tang Qingya.

"How about getting in touch with some local primary and secondary schools and making them a research base? Properly collect some fees from the schools." Qin Xiong.

"This method is not completely impossible, but if there are more students visiting every day, the writing of writers stationed here will be affected, and may even leave..." Tang Qingya analyzed.

"Well, when I launched the Writers' Village project, I realized that it might be a loss-making project, but I didn't expect that there would be so much loss every month." Qin Xiong sighed.

"In fact, there is no way at all, that is, to control labor costs, except for me and my sister, the basic cleaning work can be jointly maintained by the writers stationed there, and the finances of the writers' village are outsourced to the corresponding accounting firm. Everyone will share the electricity bill for the building..." Tang Qingya said.

"Even if we do this, it doesn't seem like much will be saved, right?" Qin Xiong asked.

"Who said, in this way, Xianxian and I have a total of 26 yuan, and the electricity bill of 15 yuan per month is also saved. Other labor costs are gone, and the total is only about [-] yuan. On average, the monthly expenditure, It's only a little over [-] yuan, and if we replace all the [-] recruited writers with monthly income of [-] yuan, the gap won't be too big," Tang Qingya said.

"Why do I think, after all the calculations, the labor costs of the two of you are too expensive, or I can't afford to replace you..." Qin Xiong laughed.

"It's okay, you don't want to use me, some people use me." Tang Qingya said a little arrogantly.

"Just kidding... the electricity bill of 15 is on average for [-] people, and each person is almost [-] per month... This is still a lot..." Qin Xiong said worriedly.

"Maybe in the end, the average is only three or four hundred per person. Think about it, writers stay in the room every day, and the air conditioner is basically turned on 24 hours a day, which is not the same as ordinary office workers." Tang Qingya explained road.

"So, the crux of our problem is still money. If we earn enough money, it will not be a problem." Qin Xiong concluded.

"That's the reason." Tang Qingya said.

"I don't think so much anymore, I have to do what I have to do, so far I can hold on." Qin Xiong gritted his teeth and said.

"But don't forget, your sound copyright, comic copyright, and animation copyright have all been sold, and you have voted them into the writer's village one after another. The rest is only the film and television copyright. With your book With the popularity of the industry and the current industry environment, if you can get a few million, it will be amazing, how much money do you have to lose?" Tang Qingya asked.

"Why don't you set up a short video team from among the people you choose. I'll be in charge of writing small scripts, and they'll be in charge of acting. With the help of the natural traffic from the writer's village, maybe you can make a little money in the short video field." Qin Xiong Said.

"You can try this, but your energy is also very limited. I might as well find someone who has experience in script writing from the writer. In addition, find someone who understands shooting and post-editing." Tang Qingya said.

"This method is feasible." Qin Xiong nodded.

"Then I'll optimize the list of resident writers. After all, it hasn't been made public yet, so it can be adjusted." Tang Qingya said.

"That's the only way to go. Only when the Writers' Village really has a balance of income and expenditure can we have the energy to provide more benefits to this industry." In desperation, Qin Xiong could only compromise with reality.
