After defeating Bi Feiyu, Jimmy's confidence greatly increased and he went to attack Su Tong again.
Good guy, in less than half a day, he brought good news, and Su Tong also took it, with the same conditions as Bi Feiyu.
Jimmy spent another two days getting the contract with the writer's agent, and then he was ready to go north to Yanjing to sign other writers on the list in one fell swoop.
Before leaving, Jimmy heard about the Cucumber Garden Poetry Reading Club going to Jinling University to cause trouble.
After hearing the news, he immediately ran to find Yu Dong.
"Dong, I've heard about your science fiction association and poetry reading club. This is a good opportunity."
"What good opportunity?" Yu Dong was preparing lesson plans and learning drama knowledge, and was not very interested in what Jimmy said.
In order to attract Yu Dong's attention, Jimmy raised his voice, "At this time, you can apply to the school to sponsor these two organizations. It won't cost much. A few thousand yuan a year is probably enough. Let's not talk about the poetry reading club for now.
There are relatively few science fiction associations in China, and they are very competitive. Let them organize members first to expand their influence, and then computer networks will develop rapidly in a few years. The Cucumber Garden Science Fiction Association will take the first step and will definitely become the leader in domestic student science fiction.
Organization, even if you don't have any works by then, you can still maintain influence among students."
Jimmy successfully attracted Yu Dong's attention.
Yu Dong raised his head and looked at Jimmy. He didn't expect this guy to think so far and also think about the rapid development of computer networks.
"Have you thought a lot about computer networks?" Yu Dong asked.
Jimmy shook his head, "Actually, that's not the case. Computer networks are not the point. Don't you have disciples in China? Now if you get some sponsorship for their Cucumber Garden Science Fiction Association, aren't they your disciples? With these disciples
In the future, we will save a lot of money on publicity and marketing. I like them because they are very ambitious, and ordinary school organizations will not think about recruiting members from other schools."
Yu Dong smiled, Jimmy really had a thorough understanding of China, or in other words, he had a thorough understanding of marketing and could always come up with ideas to take advantage of the situation.
"Since you mentioned this matter, I think we can also do some charity, starting with basic education." Yu Dong said.
Jimmy immediately gave a thumbs up, "Awesome, charity is a powerful tool. It not only helps in marketing and publicity, but also can establish a positive image. In addition, the company will definitely receive preferential treatment from policies in the future. It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.
"
"If you want to do it, do it well. I don't mind if you use charity to promote it, but what you promote cannot be fake, and what you promise must be fulfilled." Yu Dong said seriously, he didn't want charity to become
A business through and through.
Jimmy nodded and said: "I know this. There is no need to do fake charity, and there is a risk of backlash. We only need to regularly use a certain percentage of the publicity funds for charity, and there is no problem at all. And I will not over-promote it.
Yes, charity should be publicized, but it should not be over-promoted. Once it is over-promoted, it will arouse public resentment."
"I feel relieved when you say that. There are a lot of things going on in the company during this period. You should wait until you are over this busy period before thinking about charity. Since you want to do it, you have to do it carefully."
"I've got it in my head. After the company stabilizes, I'll set up a charity department at the head office, right? By the way, I'm often away and there's no one to take care of your daily life. Do you want me to send you an assistant a few days ago?
The company has hired a few young people, and they are very efficient..."
Yu Dong waved his hands repeatedly, "Send someone to take care of my daily life? What have I become? You can do something serious."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
…
After Jimmy left, Yu Dong went to tell Wu Changxin about sponsoring the Science Fiction Association and the Poetry Reading Club.
Of course Wu Changxin was very happy, and immediately decided to give the Science Fiction Association and the Poetry Reading Association a fixed and dedicated mobile classroom each, and promised to free up a space for the two associations in the Jingwen Building to be built next year.
Jingwen Building is a building specially built by the school for the drama department.
Now there is only one drama major, and the requirements for teaching space are not high. You can share classrooms with other students.
But when the performance major is established in the future, it will need its own building like the Academy of Fine Arts.
Yu Dong's sponsorship is divided into two parts. One part is basic activity funds, which is 3,000 yuan per club per year. The other part is reward funds. Members can receive bonuses of varying amounts if they publish works in designated newspapers and periodicals.
For example, if you publish a short story in "Science Fiction World", you can get a reward of 50 yuan, a novella 200 yuan, and a novel 500 yuan.
Or you can get a reward of 100 yuan by publishing a poem in "Poetry Magazine".
Other magazines such as "Zhongshan" and "Harvest" can get rewards as long as they have manuscripts published.
When Wu Changxin first heard about this plan, he doubted whether it would cost too much. But after careful calculation, he found that it was actually OK.
Because these designated journals are high-level, it is very difficult to publish works in them. For example, magazines like "Zhongshan" may not publish a few a year, and you have to read Bi Feiyu and Yu Dong.
But in the end, Wu Changxin still felt that the money should not be paid by Dong alone, and decided that the school would also bear 30% of the cost.
The reason why he made this decision was that Wu Changxin didn't know that Yu Dong was very rich now, and thought that all he earned were royalties and bonuses, so he wanted to save him some money. On the other hand, he thought that such a well-known school was a good thing
You should also get a share of the pie.
The matter was settled quickly and a notice was posted on the school bulletin board.
…
"Extra number, extra number!"
Early that morning, Wang Hailin rushed into the playground with his hands raised.
Qu Aiguo was sharing the new issue of "Science Fiction World" with the association members when he saw Wang Hailin rushing over like a fool.
"Vice President Wang, you are now a leader, can you keep your focus?" Qu Aiguo said with a smile while holding the magazine.
After the "conquer" of Jinling University some time ago, Wang Hailin was promoted to acting vice president. The probation period was three months. After three months, if there were no accidents, he would be directly promoted to vice president.
Wang Hailin ran all the way over and was able to shout a few words on the way. When he finally arrived in front of Qu Aiguo, he was out of breath and couldn't say a word.
He held his knees and adjusted them for a while, then said: "My president, my senior brother, the school has issued a notice to give our association a big wave of support, and now we are prosperous."
"What do you mean, what support was given, and how did we become developed?"
"The notice stated that the school and Teacher Yu Dong jointly contributed funds to establish a support fund for the Cucumber Garden Science Fiction Association and the Cucumber Garden Poetry Association. The specific details need to be obtained by the presidents of the two associations from the Academic Affairs Office."
"It's true or false, don't misunderstand me." Because the matter was important, Qu Aiguo did not dare to delay. After shouting to the members, "You should do your own thing first," he ran towards the bulletin board.
The other members, who could not hold back at this time, all followed suit.
When they arrived, many students were already gathered in front of the notice board.
Someone recognized Qu Aiguo and the others and said with a smile, "President Qu, your association has become more prosperous now."
Qu Aiguo smiled and waved, and quickly went to the notice board.
He was tall and broad, and he moved the crowd to both sides with just one move.
When he arrived at the notice board, Qu Aiguo read the contents on the notice board carefully, fearing that he would miss a word or read a word wrong.
After looking up and down, looking back and forth several times, and confirming the contents of the notice board, he pushed aside the crowd and ran out, heading straight for the Academic Affairs Office.
After arriving at the Academic Affairs Office and getting the details, Qu Aiguo ran back to the playground with excitement on his face.
He held up the detailed rules and announced loudly to the members: "Comrades, our dawn has come. This detailed description of this support project is explained in detail. We can not only obtain basic activity funds of 3,000 yuan per year.
, and each member can receive varying amounts of rewards as long as he can publish his works in designated publications. This reward is quite a lot. Our Science Fiction Association currently only has one designated publication, "Science Fiction World". Comrades, you can guess
Guess, how much reward can you get for publishing a short story in the science fiction world?"
"Five dollars?"
"Ten dollars?"
"Twenty dollars?"
Qu Aiguo kept shaking his head until someone guessed fifty, then he stopped: "That's right, publishing a short story will not only get you the royalties from the magazine, but you will also get an additional reward of fifty yuan. And that's just
Short story, guess how much you can get for a long story?"
Before anyone could guess, Qu Aiguo had already said the answer: "Five hundred! A full five hundred yuan. As long as you are our member and publish a novel in "Science Fiction World", you can get a reward!"
Qu Aiguo's voice was high-pitched and inflammatory. After he finished speaking, the members seemed to have seen five hundred dollars flying towards them.
As for how difficult it would be to publish a long article in "Science Fiction World", they still can't imagine it.
After Qu Aiguo finished speaking, Wang Hailin reminded him in a low voice from behind: "Senior Brother, this matter is also a double-edged sword. With the benefits, I'm afraid that many bastards will come in in the future, just for this reward."
Qu Aiguo waved his hand, "For rewards? Then you have to be able to publish novels in "Science Fiction World". Of course, what you said is not unreasonable. We should really standardize the membership recruitment regulations and try to attract those who really like science fiction.
People come in."
"Also, our side is at a disadvantage compared to the poetry reading club. They seem to have many more designated publications than us." Wang Hailin added.
"It seems to be a disadvantage, but now the audience of "Science Fiction World" is small, and there are even fewer science fiction writers. When the number of science fiction readers and science fiction writers increases in the future, I believe there will be more magazines."
