Start with the script killing shop

Autumn Exhibition, one of the two biggest exhibitions of the year.

Compared with the spring exhibition held in the south in the first half of the year, the autumn exhibition held in Peiping every October is usually larger in scale.

This is not because the spring exhibition is not as good as the autumn exhibition, nor is it because October is more suitable for holding exhibitions than the first half of the year - mainly because the organizer of the autumn exhibition every year must have a pot.

The Autumn Exhibition was brought together by S Company and Guo Guan. This is why S Company has been far less developed than Guo Can in recent years, but it has been able to become the organizer every year. Feng Zhiqiu, the owner of Guo Can, started out writing emotional books. Under her leadership, Guo Can’s new books are mainly emotional books.

As the organizer of the Autumn Exhibition, Guo Guan’s new flagship book will be premiered at the Autumn Exhibition every year.

As the market for screenplays has become increasingly sluggish, reasoning books that once held a dominant position have withdrawn from the main stage due to various reasons. The no-threshold emotional books have quickly occupied the market and become a life-saving straw for countless small stores. The Autumn Exhibition has also become the well-deserved No. 1 exhibition and has become the first choice for small shops.

"Speaking of which, because the organizer of this year's Autumn Exhibition has no money, it can only book a hotel in a suburban area. It is a blessing in disguise. If nothing else, the area of ​​this hotel is larger than the one in the central location where I attended the last Autumn Exhibition. Already." Jiang Qi stood at the entrance of the exhibition hotel with a cup of coffee in his hand, looking at the various exhibition staff who were actively decorating the hall on the first floor, and sighed to Jiang Cha beside him.

Jiang Cha had never participated in the previous Autumn Exhibition, so he didn't have any feelings about it. He simply thought that the Galaxy Script Club's booth was really good.

There is a check-in counter on the first floor. Everyone who has bought a ticket for the exhibition, whether they are a store owner or a tourist who just comes to join in the fun, can get a small gift in a paper bag with their ticket at the check-in counter.

The gifts for this autumn exhibition are very good. In addition to the regular leaflets, posters, paper towels, fans, snacks and small bottles of drinking water, there are also peripheral badges of the popular emotional book produced by Guokan last year and Jingjing’s products from the year before last. Produced by the popular notebook peripheral keychain.

The boss of Company S is a bit stingy, and the surrounding area is just regular fans, which are shoddily made. Because of this peripheral issue, the worker who was so obsessed with it even had three arguments with his boss on the phone in the hotel room, but all failed. In the end, he could only hold his nose and accept this crappy peripheral.

The Galaxy Script Club's booth was right on the way to the check-in area, and it was so conspicuous that it was impossible to ignore it. Company S's booth is next to Galaxy Script Society, and Guo Guan and Jingjing's booths are on the other two places that cannot be ignored.

As far as the booth is concerned, the booth of Galaxy Script Club is equal to or even better than that of the three organizers. Who calls Galaxy Script Club in the first and most conspicuous position?

"Indeed." Jiang Qi nodded, "I owe Boss Feng another favor."

Jiang Qi also found out after asking Feng Zhiqiu for help in publicity that the booth now belonging to Galaxy Script Club was originally owned by Guo Guan. Because Galaxy Script Club suddenly landed, and Club S was unwilling to squeeze out of the booth, Feng Zhiqiu gave up her booth and ran to squeeze in with Jingjing.

In addition to the booths on the first floor of the exhibition hotel, the banquet hall on the 6th floor was also rented by the organizer and turned into booths. Of course, compared to the prime location on the 1st floor, the location on the 6th floor is much worse.

The banquet hall on the 6th floor is at the innermost part of the hotel, very far from the elevator entrance. Even if the organizer arranges signposts along the road, there will definitely not be many people willing to follow the signposts to find this banquet hall, so this booth on the 6th floor can only be said to be better than nothing.

The function of the booth is to attract customers. The booth on the 6th floor is so deep that no customers will go there, so the function of attracting customers is almost zero.

"Boss, is it a little weird for the two of us to just stand at the door and see if..."

Before Jiang Cha finished speaking, Du Xiaohui's eye-catching voice, like Wang Xifeng's laughter, covered her voice.

"Boss Jiang, Director Jiang, why are you standing in front of the hotel? It's so cold this morning! Have you had breakfast? I bought some breakfast and brought it over. Xiao Xu, give Boss Jiang and Director Jiang a cup of soy milk each. ." Du Xiaohui was carrying two large bags in her hands and a large canvas bag on her shoulder. Behind her was Xiao Xu, a part-time barista who had just been captured from the university town two days ago. Xiao Xu was carrying no less than twenty cup of soy milk.

Jiang Qi:?

Du Xiaohui discovered a new business opportunity and went to the exhibition hotel to sell breakfast?

Before Jiang Qi and Jiang Cha could speak, Du Xiaohui stuffed a breakfast into each of their hands.

The breakfast is quite rich, including two steamed buns, a siomai and a tea egg, and the steamed buns are still warm.

Jiang Qi had actually already eaten breakfast, but in order not to waste Du Xiaohui's kindness, he still took a bite of the hot bun.

The meat filling is very filling, and it is full of meat in one bite. The skill of the steamed bun maker is pretty good, definitely inferior to that of Master Bai, but it is better than the steamed buns sold in most breakfast shops.

"Boss Du, why are you here?" Jiang Qi asked with a smile.

"Come and deliver breakfast to Jun and the others." Du Xiaohui said, "Isn't Jun's booth on the 6th floor? She said she could squeeze in some space to hang posters for our store's new releases. I've never been a publisher here, and I don't know how to decorate a booth. , I can’t help much, so I can only take care of logistics and deliver meals to everyone.”

Du Xiaohui didn't mention it, but Jiang Qi had forgotten that she was actually a new publisher and had to sell copies.

"Boss Du, can you now take out the DM from the store to show the book?" Jiang Qi was a little surprised.

The board game business in Du Xiaohui's store was so good that he wished he could be the boss of two people, but he didn't believe that Du Xiaohui would be stupid enough to let go of the money in front of him and waste the DM who opened the board game to come to the exhibition to open the book.

It’s not that he is badmouthing, but the quality of books like Du Xiaohui’s is not good either. No publicity was given in advance, no money was spent on advertising, and the tickets were purchased at the cheapest level. There was not even a table in the hotel room, so if you want to open a book, you can only The newcomer who uses the bed as a table is a poor little publisher and a perfect cannon fodder for the exhibition.

It's not always possible to get a bus in seven days.

This is the case for major exhibitions. Drought will cause drought and waterlogging will cause death.

From the perspective of selling capital, Boss Shen's behavior of being a producer and not daring to take 20% of the profit from any job may seem very unethical and shameful, but it does work.

When a newcomer releases, there is no one to guide him. Unless he is very lucky, he will be reduced to a foil and spend money to experience the miserable life of a loss-making release.

Jiang Jun and Cao Luoping declined Boss Shen, mainly because they felt that Boss Shen was not worth the price.

If it was a 10% profit, maybe these two people would really agree.

Seeing the undisguised surprise on Jiang Qi's face, Du Xiaohui laughed loudly: "I'm not that stupid. I still know how many kilograms my old book weighs. I just think this issue ticket costs several thousand yuan." , even if you buy it, don’t waste it.”

"I went to the university town to recruit two DMs two days ago. I made a temporary surprise to let them learn how to open the new book for this exhibition. These two part-time workers will be responsible for the entire exhibition."

Jiang Qi:......

You guys, the university town in Peiping has all kinds of talents, including baristas and DMs.

Jiang Qi was so excited that he also wanted to go to the university town to catch some high-quality and low-priced art gallery actors.

"Boss Jiang, I'm going to the 6th floor. You and Director Jiang don't stand in this draft, be careful of catching a cold. Xiao Xu, let's go."

Xiao Xu, a part-time barista captured from the university town, followed with soy milk.

"Boss, can I come here to help in the morning? I don't have classes tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so I have nothing to do. I heard that Zhou Ping and others pay 180 a day, but I only need 80."

"Okay, you can come if you want. You can add Sister Jun's WeChat account later and follow your sister Jun's instructions. I will give you 100 a day."

"thank you boss!"

Part-time barista Xiao Xu followed Du Xiaohui into the elevator, full of youthful energy and energy.

"Wow." Jiang Qi stood at the door of the hotel, looking at it with envy, "The capital is different, there are so many talents."

Jiang Cha:......

"By the way, where is Principal Peggy?" Jiang Qi looked at the time, "Didn't she go out for breakfast at around 5 o'clock? Why hasn't she arrived yet? It's already 7:30, and you can start signing in at 8:30. At that time, the store owners should arrive one after another.”

Jiang Cha showed a rare expression of shock: "So we have been standing at the door since 7 o'clock, and we are standing now to wait for Principal Peggy?!"

"That's not true. The main reason is that I saw Boss Shen hanging around our booth and thought it would be better to stay away from him." Jiang Qi said.

According to Jiang Cha's research and observation in the past few days, Boss Shen's mental condition is not very good and his mood is extremely unstable.

Forget about scolding the boss 37 times in 8 days. Who among the workers would not scold the boss behind his back, not to mention that his boss is the ultimate black-hearted capitalist. But Boss Shen not only scolded the boss, he even scolded himself when he got angry.

According to Jiangcha's statistics, Boss Shen scolded his boss 37 times in the past 8 days and also scolded himself 9 times, including calling himself a fool twice and scolding his newly written script 7 times. I revise the draft until late at night every night, and the new version for this exhibition has not yet been finalized.

Faced with migrant workers who were under such high work pressure, Jiang Qi thought it was better to stay away from them.

The booth of Galaxy Script Club is right next to Club S. The big boss of Club S will not show up, so Boss Shen, as the small boss, is the top leader. Theoretically speaking, the hard work of setting up a booth does not require the leader to do it himself.

I didn't look at Jingjing's boss Li and Feng Zhiqiu. I was just hanging around signing orders and making plans. Boss Shen didn't know what had happened, but he had been sitting next to the booth since 7 o'clock, doing nothing.

Those who were able to get a booth on the first floor were all big publishers with some strength, and they basically prepared small gifts to promote the script. A group of staff moved things back and forth, including various boxes, props, and small gifts. Moving back and forth inevitably raised dust.

Company S’s booth is the only way for everyone to move props.

Cao Luoping would sometimes hide to the side to avoid dust, but Boss Shen could sit as steady as a mountain. When people saw it, they couldn't help but sigh that the respiratory system is really good.

"Principal Peggy has been here a long time ago." Jiang Cha said expressionlessly.

"ah?"

"When we arrived at the hotel door, Principal Peggy was already upstairs."

"Which floor?"

"Sixth floor exhibition hall."

Jiang Qi opened his legs and walked towards the elevator, taking three steps and two steps at a time, walking with a breeze.

Jiang Cha followed silently.

Cao Luoping, who was sitting behind the booth and silently counting flyers, saw Jiang Qi finally entering the hotel. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to the JC backbone who was running around moving things and said: "A Fei, please remember to leave a message for Boss Jiang in the room later." A spacious location.”

A Fei picked up the small bag in the small box and said, "Don't worry, boss, it has been prepared a long time ago. I have brought the cushions."

As he said this, A Fei took out the cushion from the bag, a pink rabbit head cushion. There were even two long rabbit ears on the cushion, which looked very cute.

Cao Luoping: "...Did you buy it?"

"It belongs to my girlfriend. She said that during the exhibition, I was either reading books or playing with them. I basically sat down. She asked me to bring a seat cushion to save my butt from pain after sitting on a hard bench for a long time."

"Good job, don't bring it again next time."

Near the check-in desk, Feng Zhiqiu, who was checking the number of gifts with Jingjing's boss Li, also noticed Jiang Qi who was waiting for the elevator, and couldn't help but look up a few more times.

Boss Li followed Feng Zhiqiu's line of sight and asked, "Boss Jiang also has a booth upstairs?"

"The booth for "Meet Again" seems to be on the 6th floor." Feng Zhiqiu said.

Boss Li became excited when he mentioned "We Meet Again". After Feng Zhiqiu asked Jiang Qi to have dinner, he also asked Jiang Qi to have dinner alone. Although they only met during this autumn exhibition, Jiang Qi owed Feng Zhiqiu two favors, and Boss Li was far inferior to Feng Zhiqiu in terms of relationship.

When Feng Zhiqiu is chatting, he can casually ask about "Meet Again", board games, and whether Galaxy Script Club intends to publish it for a long time and steadily produce new books every year. Boss Li knew that he didn't have enough friendship to ask many questions, so he could only ask Feng Zhiqiu.

"Are you sure that "We Will Meet Again" is a box set? In the past few days, many stores have bought "We Meet Again" in private cars, and everyone is full of praise and can't wait to praise this book to the sky. I heard that "We Meet Again" "We Meet Again" was actually written by an author under Boss Jiang. That JC just put his name on it, is that true?"

Feng Zhiqiu didn't expect Boss Li to be so straightforward when it comes to eating melons. You really dare to ask questions, and said: "You have to ask Boss Jiang yourself about this. I have never heard of such rumors."

"But the boxed version is definitely for sure. Boss Jiang said that he won't go beyond city limits and exclusives, only boxed products."

Boss Li heard the implication of Feng Zhiqiu's words: "So Boss Jiang is preparing to stabilize his income."

"One or two a year, that's what I said. Boss Jiang's main business is in amusement parks, so he definitely doesn't have that much time to deal with scripts. The scripts for this exhibition are all fully represented by JC, and Galaxy Only three people came, including Boss Jiang."

"One is Manager Jiang. I've seen him. He's tall, thin, quiet, and speaks softly. He seems to be the financial director of an amusement park. Do you know who Qiuqiu is? ?”

Feng Zhiqiu shook his head: "I haven't shown my face before. It's quite mysterious."

While they were chatting, Boss Shen, who had been sitting near his booth, walked to the registration desk and asked with a sullen face: "Qiuqiu, do you still have registration forms over there? Get me some."

Feng Zhiqiu found a few registration forms in the drawer and handed them to Boss Shen. Boss Shen left with a sullen expression, not even looking at Boss Li next to Feng Zhiqiu the whole time.

Boss Li has become accustomed to Boss Shen's uncertainty. He rubbed his nose and complained: "He behaves like this every day. Everyone he sees seems to owe him 5 million. I don't know who can stand him."

Feng Zhiqiu was also helpless: "Maybe he's in a bad mood."

"I've never seen him in a good mood."

Boss Li lost his mood and went to another place.

Boss Shen took the registration form and returned to his booth and continued to sit.

Boss Shen's assistant ran over and asked.

"Brother Shen, Sister Luo said that you have to get on board for "Meet Again" this afternoon and "Murder at the Class Reunion" tonight. But tonight is the premiere of your new book, and you are the author. If you weren't here..."

"What's the use of being there if you hurry up and rush out slowly?" Boss Shen scolded.

The assistant thought that you were quite self-aware, but he couldn't say that, and said, "But isn't it a little bad that you are not here and you go to the bus in the next room instead?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. This kind of garbage shouldn't be placed at the exhibition." Boss Shen scolded himself mercilessly, "Just let Xiao Sun drive it by himself. Don't say I wrote this book."

assistant:……

Are you being willful again? Who doesn't know that this book was written by you?

Apparently, Boss Shen's assistant was used to his boss going crazy on a regular basis, so he said, "Okay."

Then he turned around and took out his cell phone to send a message to his friend: That guy started again. I feel like he has been stimulated recently.

Friend: Oh? Talk about it in detail.

Assistant: I don’t know, maybe it’s because it’s a semi-finished product. I don’t think that person can be blamed for this, it’s mainly our boss who is stupid. The book was not finished yet, but the boss insisted on showing it to the Autumn Exhibition for the first time, saying that it could still be sold even if it was not finished, and that the worst he could do was to make the store wait for a year because he had not waited for it.

Friend: I won’t come until I finish writing. Isn’t that person also a minority shareholder? How can your boss put a gun to his head and force him to come?

Assistant: Who knows.

Friend: I can only say what lid goes with the pot. Your capitalist boss and that guy are a perfect match [dog head]

"Oh ho." Jiang Cha roared out after eating a new melon.

"Oh!" Jiang Qi roared when he saw the strange scene in front of him.

Before coming to the booth on the sixth floor, he imagined that the exhibition hall on the sixth floor was a group of small publishers with hope, working hard to decorate their booths, encouraging themselves, cheering each other up, and looking harmonious, friendly, striving for progress, and full of vitality. .

The actual exhibition hall on the 6th floor——

The exhibition hall has not yet been decorated, but everyone has a business card with the WeChat QR code of Principal Peggy on it, and you can add friends by scanning it.

A group of publishers who had not even arranged the exhibition gathered around Principal Peggy and listened to Principal Peggy's speech with bright eyes.

"This board game is for all players. It is a business development board game that can be played anytime and anywhere. It has no threshold and does not require a host. It is a simple and easy-to-play business development board game."

"This one is educational."

"This one is for war."

"There are also this one, this one, and this one, all for parent-child type."

"Why did I pick these out? It's because these things can be open to all players. There is no need for a host or to go to a board game store to play. Some of them can even be played by one person at home."

"Why do board game stores require players to come to the store to play board games? Why can't board game stores and script-killing stores sell board games to players?"

"The market for scripted games is currently in a slump. Everyone here is both a publisher and a store owner. You should know very well that it is difficult to maintain store operations simply by operating scripted games and board games. But can you definitely make money by relying on distribution? Maybe? You can make money by distributing scripts, but this was only two years ago. There are so many scripts on the market now. If the scripts themselves were not of high quality, it would be extremely difficult for a small publisher to get ahead."

"I know that many people here will definitely have some side businesses selling drinks, snacks, and even cat playing and mahjong in their stores. But do these side businesses help the main business? No!"

"What kind of side business is helpful to the main business? The peripheral products sold by Galaxy Script Club are helpful to the main business. Everyone has colorful ropes. I have seen them."

"Toy Story peripheral toys are very good and some people know about them."

"Green vegetable noodles? Yes, green vegetable noodles also count."

"What are the characteristics of these side businesses? They are all related to scripts, derivatives, and peripherals!"

"The board games I just listed separately are actually peripherals of our series of board games. Other board games must be played in the store, but these ones can be bought and played at home. They all come from a common series - the Mysterious Magic Academy series. Whether it is the world view, structure, story background, or even the characters, they are all the same and common."

"I believe that the distribution companies that have booths at the Autumn Exhibition are all stores with certain strength and scale. This is why our Galaxy Script Theme Park chooses you. The purchase price of this exhibition is definitely a super bonus, 100 The products are sold starting at the lowest price, and it doesn’t matter if they are not sold out. We will return the products unconditionally within half a year. You are all middlemen without any risk.”

"The sales purpose of our amusement park is to benefit everyone. I believe everyone has also got the news. This time "Meet Again" produced by our Galaxy Script Agency is in a box set. I can tell you that another one is produced by our Galaxy Script Agency The mystery book "The Class Reunion Murders" co-produced with Card Game Studio is also boxed."

"Why do we want to release a box set? Because we at Galaxy Script Club want the entire script industry to be better, we want everyone to be able to buy excellent books, we want everyone to be profitable, and we want the market to be more prosperous."

"The 29 board games I brought this time are also for this purpose!"

"Everyone can definitely..."

"The benefits this time are absolutely unprecedented..."

Principal Peggy spoke very hard, and the onlookers also cheered.

"Principal Peggy, can you tell me about the one just now?"

"Is it really true that we will return the goods unconditionally within half a year?"

"Can I be the exclusive agent for one region?"

"Are there any restrictions on purchasing goods?"

"Are these board games the only ones available? Are the others not available?"

"When can I go to Detective Du for a practical test?"

"Principal Peggy, can you tell me about the sales example just now?"

"..."

Seeing this scene in front of him, Jiang Qi only had four big words in his mind.

MLM scene.

Even Du Xiaohui and the barista Xiao Xu who came to deliver breakfast were so excited that they eagerly signed up to be agents, let alone others.

Jiang Jun's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Jiang Qi knew that his vision was right. If Principal Peggy didn't open a school and become the principal in another world and engage in pyramid schemes, he would definitely become the leader of pyramid schemes in the Magic Continent.

Look, look at this scene.

"Jiang Cha." Jiang Qi's voice trembled slightly, "How many years does the MLM sentence last?"

Jiang Cha looked at the publishers who had been completely brainwashed by Principal Peggy. They were enthusiastic and actively signed up to be regional agents. After thinking about it, he said:

"I don't know the exact number of years, but you are Principal Peggy's boss, so you must have sentenced more than her."

Jiang Qi suddenly felt his legs were a little weak.

Jiang Qi now understood why Principal Peggy had always said that he looked down on the private gatherings of a few businessmen.

He thought that Principal Peggy regarded distribution and stores as customer groups, but he did not expect that Principal Peggy regarded distribution and stores as downline development.

Sure enough, he was too small.

He thought they came to the exhibition to sell goods, but he didn't expect that they came to the exhibition to find regional agents.

These days are really getting more and more decisive.

When I woke up, the V group was gone.

I will send out the group number after the new V group is established...
