Chapter 72: The Success of the Assembly Line!

  It is said that good fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortune never walks alone. However, today heaven seems to be especially blessing Su Yan, just as "Hui Ming" received a lot of praise. The works created by the Writing Association's assembly line have also caused a stir on the internet.

  Within two weeks, netizens have updated the second batch of books written by the pipeline team of Shang School's Writing Department to half. The first book has been published successively. Although it has only been more than a month since the emergence of the pipeline team, it seems that this is already a well-known fact on the Internet. Maybe it's because Su had never thought of hiding it from the beginning.

  The first batch of books published by the entity had a good response, although they couldn't be called bestsellers, but at least each book didn't lose money and even made a small profit. Boss Huang was indeed a good business talent, after being prompted by Su Wei, he decisively contacted all the small bookstalls and bookstores within the entire Tianhua Province, initially forming a network with them.

  This is a corner that has not yet caught the attention of other publishers. In fact, it's not that no one else has noticed this corner. It's just that they can't play a role in other publishers. These places are not where genuine books are sold, only pirated books can find living space in this corner.

  All of Boss Fat's actions went smoothly, without encountering any obstacles. Even those few state-owned publishing houses secretly ridiculed him, thinking that Boss Fat had recently become more and more degenerate, to the point where he was willing to collude with pirates.

  But when it comes to the sales of pipeline books, these small bookstores and stalls have strongly supported the sales volume. Most small bookstores and stalls have taken in all ten books, usually only one or two copies per book, with a few taking three or four copies, but rarely taking more than five copies at a time.

  In the words of the old president of Gucheng People's Publishing House, Pang Zong has already transformed a wholesaler into a retailer. But no one laughed at that, it was these scattered sales that made each book sell three or four thousand copies! And this is just the number for one month! Of course, some people may say that these small bookstores and bookstalls will rarely order the same book again after they have ordered one.

  That means they bought this book this month, and next month they won't buy the same book again. But for Boss Huang, it doesn't matter, anyway, there will be a new batch of books born next month. For the assembly line team, one month is enough to create ten books. And one month's time is just right for small bookstalls and small bookstores that haven't restocked yet. After all, one month's time is also enough for their customers to finish reading the new books in their store.

  After calculation, Boss Huang found that after deducting all expenses for this item every month, he could still get nearly 100,000 yuan! This is one million in a year's time! Moreover, with the expansion of scale and increase in channels in the future, this number can be expected to further increase. The most important thing is that this is a very stable business, although it's not a huge profit, but it's a steady stream of income.

  "Ah ah, not bad, not bad, looks like there's a bright future ahead!" The plump boss's round face was like a blooming chrysanthemum!

  In comparison to Boss Huang's profits, the Writing Club's income is not small either. The Writing Club provides books to Boss Huang and earns 10% of the revenue! This is written into the contract. Moreover, it's 10% of the gross profit! This means that the Writing Club can earn 50,000 yuan per month from this alone! As for this amount, the Writing Club also takes a 10% cut, which is 5,000 yuan! Su Jing suddenly realized that he too has qualified to be a capitalist, and every month he can have an income of 5,000 yuan without doing anything. Of course, in name, this is the Writing Club's public fund, which will be used to benefit many club members in the future.

  The remaining 45,000 will be divided among the many assembly line members. According to the rules, since the previous ten works were trial productions, they were only the work of ten small teams, so this money is naturally shared by the ten teams. Since the team leader's workload is the largest, the rules stipulate that the team leader can increase their salary by 10% based on the existing members' salaries, and similarly reward outstanding members who have demonstrated excellent performance with a 10% bonus. This means that there will be twenty members who receive an average income of 11%.

  This works out to the team leader and outstanding members each month getting 286 yuan, while ordinary members get 261 yuan. Don't look down on this number - in '98, the average factory worker's salary was only three or four hundred yuan. This means that these assembly line team members are already earning about eighty percent of what an adult earns.

  This means that these members can already afford their own living expenses; this means that these members can already afford their own tuition fees; this even means that these members are already considered independent.

  Everyone in the world is bustling about, all for the sake of gain. Everyone in the world is scrambling about, all for the sake of profit. The stimulation of money is immediate and visible, after the school has finished distributing everyone's deserved salary. A shocking piece of news began to spread wildly throughout the school.

  "Do you know? I heard those bastards in the writing group each got 300 bucks! Alas, if only I had joined the writing group too, my writing skills would have surpassed theirs!"

  "Do you know? I heard that those bastards in the writing club each got 500 bucks! Alas, if only I had known earlier, I wouldn't have quit the club. In the past, I was also a veteran of the writing club, and if I were still there, I would have gotten the money too."

  "Do you know? In the business school, if you join the writing club, you can get 800 yuan! Alas, why does our school's writing club not only not give us money but also ask for money? Can't we join the business school's writing club?"

  ……

  Don't be surprised, rumors are called rumors because they always change in the process of spreading. Of course, as for which direction it changes, it depends on which direction the crowd wants it to change. In short, the rumor about our writing club has been embellished by countless people during its spread, and even Su Yan was stunned when she heard it - which writing club is this? It feels a bit familiar, huh?

  However, how the rumor would evolve was clearly beyond Su Jin's consideration. What truly delighted Su Jin was that as the rumor spread, the writing club began to experience a period of rapid growth.

  In just one week, the Writing Club membership has broken through the 2,000 mark! Not only have members from our school made a historic breakthrough to over 1,800 people, but many students from other schools have also joined! And this is far from being the limit. As time goes on, this whirlwind is sweeping towards every school in the ancient city with an unstoppable momentum! Moreover, it's not just limited to students, some graduates are also taking action after hearing the news.

  In 1998, the year when university students officially started to enter society, away from the country's arrangement, some of them who had just left campus still felt at a loss in the face of social cruelty. "High vision but low ability" was the mainstream society's evaluation of these new graduates. The existence of the writing club undoubtedly provided a transitional place for those students who were somewhat lost.

  Within the writing club, the book-writing group also received a huge boost. Within just one week, Liu Mei received nearly a thousand applications to join the book-writing group. From then on, Su Jin's book-writing group finally had room for selection. Although the book-writing group's streamlined team had already lowered the writing requirements as much as possible, basically anyone with a general high school student's language level could handle it!

  But the students of the business school are basically all eliminated from high school, and even this condition is not possessed by everyone. Moreover, many people joined here because of a temporary craze, how many people can really persist? The original writing group was able to join the pipeline team with almost all members because at that time, all members had independent writing experience and their writing skills had been trained to some extent, so they could take on the task.

  So, Su Jin naturally formed a writing preparation group. All members who applied to join the writing group were required to join for two months. During this period, all members had to write at least 3,000 words per day and complete a book of around 200,000 words within two months. The work was uploaded to Dream Net. Only those who met these conditions could join the writing group and participate in the pipeline allocation.

  Su Jing believed that after two months of testing, anyone who could meet the conditions would basically meet the minimum requirements of the pipeline team. Moreover, in the future, this average pattern will not be adopted again, and only when a book published by a pipeline team earns a profit can it be distributed equally among the team members. And if two-thirds of the team members agree, they can expel a member from the team!

  There is pressure only when there is competition! There is progress only when there is competition! History has long proven that the big pot of rice is destined to be eliminated.
