Chapter 26 Look, this is called efficiency!
The store is responsible for calling a taxi to deliver the computer to the designated location and install it at your door, which is very convenient for Suzhou City.
The address was chosen directly in the office of the chairman of the Su Group. After all, for him, he had no desire to play with such a backward computer when he brought it home.
Therefore, it can only be used as a work computer.
After installing the computer, Su Cheng locked the office door.
"Xiao Ai, what should we do next?" Sitting in front of the computer, everything is ready.
"Master, just turn it on and leave the rest to me. However, because this computer only has 64k of storage, you cannot upload the entire novel at once, and you will have to upload and delete it multiple times." Xiao Ai said sweetly.
p>
Su Cheng still knows this. In later generations, this will be the most basic knowledge.
There is only 64k storage space, and it can only store more than 30,000 words at most. This is still a theoretical number, and it will actually be less.
After turning on the computer, everything was normal, so Su Cheng directly handed over control of the computer to Xiao Ai.
Logically speaking, this computer product should not be able to display Chinese characters, but at this time, lines of text suddenly appeared on the computer, and they were all traditional Chinese characters.
"Master, you can only upload 20,000 words at a time. I will print them out directly, delete them, and then continue to upload the next part." At this time, Xiao Ai reminded again.
"Just take care of it. I'll collect the printed paper on the side." Su Cheng said directly.
20,000 words at a time, and "Looking for Qin" has a total of about 1.5 million words, which means that the novel manuscript needs to be uploaded in 75 times.
Due to the restriction of printing speed, it took almost an hour to print out 1.5 million words.
Look, this is called efficiency.
If you really ask him to read aloud and then wait for the typist to type it out, you don’t know how much time it will take!
The office uses a dot matrix printer, and the quality of this era is still good. After printing these documents, the printer did not freeze due to overheating.
10,000 words are about 10 pages. Printing forward and reverse can save half of the paper. In other words, these 1.5 million words use a full 750 pieces of paper.
This is because Xiao Ai controls the size and layout of the text very strictly, otherwise more paper will be needed.
After completing it, Su Cheng bound the papers and finally turned them into a manuscript.
By the way, novels must have pen names. What should I use?
Su Cheng thought for a moment.
Yes, since it is plagiarizing Master Huang’s work, let’s use a word of Master Huang’s as a tribute to Master Huang from another time and space.
As for the time and space of this parallel world, Master Huang has not yet written this work, so it is naturally not considered plagiarism.
Su Cheng used a pen to write under the title of the book on the homepage: "By Su Yi."
Holding the thick manuscript and smelling the fresh ink on it, Su Cheng walked out of the office and went to Sister Zhang's office next door.
"Boss, is there anything else?" Sister Zhang asked when she saw Su Cheng.
"I've figured out a way for you to bring Chivalrous Literature and Media Co., Ltd. back to life. What do you think it is?" Su Cheng smiled and handed the manuscript to Sister Zhang.
Sister Zhang curiously took the manuscript and saw the three characters "Looking for Qin" written on the cover of the first white paper. Under the title of the book, there was also the handwritten author: Su Yi.
Sister Zhang flipped through it and found that it was a novel set in the Qin Dynasty. It was obvious that this was a historical martial arts novel.
"Dr. Su, did you write this?" Sister Zhang asked.
"Yes." Su Cheng nodded and took the copyright as his own without blushing.
"Can this novel alone save Chivalrous Literature Media Co., Ltd.?" Sister Zhang obviously didn't believe it.
She is not a fan of novels, so naturally she cannot tell how good the quality of this novel is.
"Let's go to Chiayi Literature Media Co., Ltd. and show it to our editor-in-chief." Su Cheng was full of confidence in this.
"Looking for Qin Ji" has already proven itself in later generations. The TV series "Looking for Qin Ji" was filmed twice and the movie was filmed once.
Most of the subsidiaries of the Su Group have their headquarters independent of the group. In order to save money, Chivalrous Literature and Media Co., Ltd. has already returned its rented offices and moved its office space back to the Su Group.
p>
After all, the Su Group Building is its own property. If you come back to work, you can even save on rent.
In a corner on the third floor, this is an office with an area of about 80 square meters. This is where the executives and editors of Chivalry Literature Media Co., Ltd. work.
When Sister Zhang brought Su Cheng in, she found that there were not even more than 10 staff inside.
This shows how miserable this company is.
"Dr. Su, Mr. Zhang." When they saw Su Cheng and the others, the people in the office hurriedly stood up and said hello.
They all know the situation of the company, and now they are really afraid that the company will be canceled at any time, and they will be unemployed by then. You must know that it is not easy to find a job now.
"Where's Mr. Li?" Sister Zhang asked.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li is out on business," an employee said.
"Who is the editor-in-chief?" Su Cheng asked.
"Dr. Su, I am Wang Zhiye, the company's chief editor." A middle-aged man walked out of his workplace.
"Come with me, everyone else, go back to their respective posts and continue working." Su Cheng said with a smile.
Since there are not many employees, although the office is not big, there is also a tea room. Authors who submit articles are usually received in the tea room.
After everyone sat down, Su Cheng directly handed the manuscript in his hand to Editor Wang, and then said: "How about you take a look at this book first."
Although I thought it was strange, Editor-in-Chief Wang did it anyway.
As someone who has been in the industry for many years, he is naturally very skilled in reviewing manuscripts.
After opening the first chapter, he read it carefully and quickly.
Su Cheng and Sister Zhang were waiting patiently.
Originally, Editor-in-Chief Wang only planned to read the first two or three chapters. This is the basic operation of reviewing manuscripts. Whether a book will be popular or not can be roughly seen at the beginning.
If it is written well at the beginning, as long as it remains level in the rest, or even if the level drops a little, it will not affect its popularity among readers;
But if you don’t write well at the beginning, no matter how exciting you write at the end, it will still be a failure. If you can’t read the beginning, who will read the rest of your content!
As a result, the more Editor Wang watched, the more exciting it became. The more he watched, the more fascinated he became. He accidentally read seven or eight chapters.
At this time, Sister Zhang couldn't help calling him and woke him up directly.
"I'm so sorry. I accidentally read it. Mr. Su and Mr. Zhang, with my many years of editing experience, this book is definitely a book that will be popular throughout Hong Kong and even the Chinese community. For example, it travels back to ancient times.
This way of writing is simply a historical precedent. This author is really talented. We must win it. Who is the author? If you sign this book, it will be difficult for our newspaper to become popular!" said Mr. Wang.
The editor said excitedly.
"This is a novel written by Su Dong." Sister Zhang said from the side.
Only then did she realize that Su Cheng was really not lying, and that this novel might really save the half-dead Chivalrous Literature Media Co., Ltd.
Chapter completed!
