Set sail for the editorial department, 2:00 pm.

Li Gefei held the first in-group meeting in his office.

The meeting in the small office is already looser, and it is sleepy, so the sitting postures of Antarctic and Ice Wolf are naturally a little lazy.

But Okura was very energetic and opened the book seriously, with his eyes full of students looking forward to bathing in knowledge.

Li Gefei was also presided over the meeting for the first time, and the reference samples were limited, so he swept the data on the screen like Shana and spoke calmly.

"I'll talk about the situation in a macro way first."

"In the past six months, our group has been ranked tenth among the ten editorial groups of the Shihang."

"At the best time, there is about 20% gap with the ninth."

“The gap is now 40%.

"This situation is only related to Changjiang's work attitude, and it's not your fault."

After talking, Li Gefei turned his chair and faced the three of them.

"But now, I'm in charge of the work."

"I hope everyone can recognize me and cooperate with me to go all the way."

"Follow my path, if it still doesn't improve, I will take all the responsibility."

"In this process, if you have any opinions on my work policy and have difficulty implementing it, we can communicate at any time."

While Li Gefei was speaking, his hands were unconsciously wrapped around the desk. His two thumbs were fighting and nodding to the three of them.

"If you have any questions, you can ask now."

Antarctic shook his head slightly, and Kokura stared bigger and waited for knowledge to bathe.

Binglang laughed and said, "Editor-in-chief, please talk about the policy first. Only after we can we ask questions, right?"

After hearing this, Antarctic laughed.

Xiaokura didn't know what to say, just lowered his head and took notes hard.

Li Gefei's heart trembled when he said this, and sweat oozed from his palms under the table.

I worked hard for a long time before I could get this part.

Management work...is not suitable for me.

He coughed quickly, looked at the computer again, imitating Shana's appearance and looked at it in a sensible manner.

"The editor's work... is divided into three major parts here."

"One is the standard."

“Contract Standards and Recommended Standards.”

“The second is resources.”

“Signed quota and recommended positions.”

“The third is service.”

"Serve old authors and their works at any time, while inspiring and guiding new authors to create opportunities for them."

"My attitude towards these three major work must be different from the Yangtze River."

"I will prevail in the future."

"Next, let's sort it out one by one."

Li Gefei developed his own book selection criteria.

"First of all, we don't need to read and read books with less than 50,000 words."

"Believe in and hone your vision."

"The Internet is developing every day, and the authors are constantly transforming."

"As an editor, if you only know how to rely on data and stop learning and thinking, you will be replaced by algorithms sooner or later."

...

Throughout the whole process, Antarctic and Ice Wolf listened very well.

As for Kokura, he couldn't remember it even if he tried his best, so he simply turned on the phone to record it and did a two-pronged approach.

In more than ten minutes, Li Gefei roughly explained his criteria for choosing books.

He has been in the industry for many years and was the first time he taught people how to fish like this. He gradually became immersed in this feeling, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to gesture at the end.

"In the end, I advocate 'man is greater than books'."

"A book may not be that good, but if you believe in the author's potential, you can still sign it."

“Like an athlete, he doesn’t necessarily play every game.”

"What's important is that you can spot the shining points on him."

"The above is what I ask for book selection."

"I don't force you to implement this standard 100%.

"You can leave about 20% of the space to display your personality and explore freely."

"I will also learn with you and continuously improve the signing standards."

"That's what this part is, you can ask now if you have any questions."

Antarctic then raised his hand and shook it: "No problem."

While writing wildly, Okura nodded vigorously: "I must understand the editor-in-chief's spirit."

Binglang turned his pen in his hand and looked down at his notebook, looking at his thoughts but stopped.

"Ice Wolf, if you have any questions, please ask now." Li Gefei said immediately.

"Ah, this... Editor..." Binglang rubbed his chin and thought, "You said you should control the follow-up work to within 30% of the contract. I feel that this requirement is too conservative. Follow-up books are equivalent to cooked meat delivered to your mouth. If we don't eat it, others will eat it. Whether in order to pursue profits or reduce risks, I don't think this restriction should be made."

"I understand your thoughts very well." Li Gefei said calmly, "I have experienced the trend of 'sign-in', 'richest man', 'scumbag' and so on dozens of times, and have always been a group of followers, and very few can stay. Instead of encouraging this kind of creation, it is better to leave opportunities for diversification. 30% is already a very wide limit. In my personal opinion, 5% is too much."

"That is to say..." Binglang didn't look at Li Gefei, but just rubbed his forehead and said, "I don't want the performance I sent to my mouth?"

"Ice Wolf, the cycle of a book is very long, and an author's creative career is longer." Li Gefei raised his hand carefully, "Our choice today determines the future in half a year. Do you still remember what he looked like three months ago? Look at the present, are there sign-in? Just like farmers farming, if you plant all apples because they are valuable now, you will suffer in the future. Blindly following the trend is just a small profit in front of you, and we must also focus on the diversity and health of the next six months, one year, or even three to five years."

"But this does not affect the fact that you have made a lot of money by signing in in the past few months?" Binglang shook his notebook and said, "The reality of high apple prices is here. It's better to take action in advance than other fruit farmers. It's better to plant cherries, oranges, etc.."

"That's why I gave 30% of the space to grow apples." Li Gefei nodded heavily.

"Well..." Binglang pursed his lips and turned to Nanji and Okura.

Seeing one bowing his head and dazed, the other was trying hard to take notes.

He had no choice but to shake his head: "Okay...you continue."

Li Gefei then breathed a sigh of relief, at least letting this guy accept an arrangement.

In the next ten minutes, he explained the recommendation standards.

This time, Binglang became anxious without waiting for him to ask questions.

"Every book signed must be given at least a Level 4 recommendation?" He put down his book and spread his hands on the spot. "How else can I do this job, editor-in-chief?"

"You can keep it steady first, but I'm very confused." Li Gefei frowned and looked at Binglang, "I can't even give you a level 4 recommendation, so why do you have to sign?"

"To be ahead of others," Binglang stated with a proper expression, "Many books don't need to be recommended at all. Just look at the retention rate of natural traffic, you can tell whether it is good or bad."

"Then you should also know that for new authors' new works, the natural traffic is extremely rare, and often only has a few dozen or even a few readers' exposure." Li Gefei raised his arm incomprehensible, "Where is the conscience to use this extremely accidental sample to sentence a book full of hard work to death?"

“…”

“…”

The office suddenly fell into silence.

Antarctic looked out the window with his chin scratching his chin.

Kokura was so scared that he lowered his head and said nothing.

Ice Wolf himself was stunned.

Li Gefei realized that he was accidentally excited and said the truth.

In such an environment, as a leader, it seems that he should not question his subordinates' conscience.

"Cough..." He quickly coughed again, put his hand in front of his mouth and explained, "Even if it is only about performance, this judgment is irresponsible. There is a high probability that the potential book will be lost. At least a level 4 recommended traffic should be given to give up."

After hearing this, the Ice Wolf lowered her eyes and pondered for a long time before looking up at Li Gefei.

"Editor-in-Chief, I appreciate your personality."

"But we are the performance here?"

"I also believed in my vision at the beginning and would focus on cultivating some authors I like, and would provide resources and tutoring word by word."

"But the response to me is the eunuchs again and again."
