Chapter 119 Harvest
“President, after careful consideration, I think we only need to design 5 drawings for the next Canton Fair.
Then we will give you these designs to coordinate and arrange for their use.”
"Can't Xiao Jiang design more?"
"President, it's not that I don't want to draw more, but if there are too many, it might reduce their value."
Song Wenqing thought about it and understood a little, "Okay, okay, okay! Comrade Xiao Jiang is indeed a thoughtful person.
Don't worry, I will properly distribute and utilize these five carefully crafted designs."
At this time, Jiang Weimin seemed to have something to say, but he hesitated.
Feng Nan, who was standing by, keenly noticed his abnormality and quickly spoke up.
"President, regarding the distribution of these design drawings, I think they must not be given to the First and Second Printing and Dyeing Factories!
You know, at the Canton Fair, they put all kinds of accusations on us!"
"I know this? If we really hand over these valuable design drawings to the First or Second Printing and Dyeing Factory,
If I don’t get enough foreign exchange orders in the end, who should I ask for the design fee? Right, Xiao Jiang? "
"Oh, President, please don't misunderstand me! I am definitely not that irresponsible person.
Besides, hasn’t the First Printing and Dyeing Factory successfully obtained many orders before this time? "
"Well, Xiao Jiang is definitely a serious and responsible person. Everyone understands that." Song Wenqing laughed.
Then Song Wenqing cleared his throat and continued
"Next, let's talk about the reward. This time, the three of you have made great contributions to our publishing house and successfully earned foreign exchange. You really deserve credit for that!
So, after careful consideration, it was decided to give Yunzhou and Lao Feng 200 yuan of foreign exchange coupons each as a reward;
As for Xiao Jiang, he was specially rewarded with 500 yuan in foreign exchange coupons! I hope everyone will keep up the good work and achieve more success! "
When everyone heard this, the three of them showed joy on their faces and responded in unison: "Thank you, leader!"
Then, someone couldn't hold back his excitement and volunteered, "Leader, can you send me to the Canton Fair with Brother Jiang next time? I will do my best to ensure that Comrade Jiang Weimin is fully protected!"
Another person echoed, "Yes, leader, we also long for such an opportunity."
However, Song Wenqing waved his hand, signaling them to stay calm, and replied: "Okay, okay, let's discuss this matter later."
Afterwards, Song Wenqing explained some other important matters at the meeting and finally announced the adjournment of the meeting.
But he then called Lao Feng, Lao Liu and Xiao Jiang and asked them to stay for a while.
After the rest of the staff left, Song Wenqing looked at Xiao Jiang and said earnestly, "Xiao Jiang, I have already reported in detail to the leaders of the Publishing Bureau about the matter you mentioned to me before about giving the painters and editors an additional payment after earning foreign exchange.
Unfortunately, after careful consideration, the superiors only approved the reissue of the manuscript fee.
They believe that the manuscript fee actually covers the editing fee." At this point, Song Wenqing sighed softly.
“President, you have to know that the key people who can really earn a lot of foreign exchange are actually the screenwriters!
Their creativity and talent are the key to bringing their works to the international market and attracting foreign readers!" Jiang Weimin said eagerly.
The president smiled and consoled him, "Xiao Jiang, don't be so anxious.
Everything has to be done step by step. For now, it is already quite good to be able to secure two royalties for our painters. "
Jiang Weimin thought for a moment and responded, "Thank you, President. It's really great to be able to pay you an extra copy of the manuscript fee now."
Then, the president added: "However, Xiao Jiang, there is another rule that I need to explain to you.
Only when the amount of the order received exceeds 5 US dollars can the painter receive the other full fee;
If the order amount is less than $5 but more than $1, you can only get half of the fee.”
Jiang Weimin nodded to show his understanding: "Well, President, this is quite reasonable. After all, the profits brought by orders of different sizes do vary."
At this time, Song Wenqing breathed a sigh of relief.
He took out a slip and handed it to Jiang Weimin: "This is the reimbursement for your manuscript.
Tianshui really benefited from your help this time! You two drew 9 works in total, 6 of which you were responsible for, and one of them was divided into two volumes. Tianshui drew 3.
So, I have settled all the fees according to the latest manuscript fee standards, and the total is 8330 yuan. Remember to go to the Finance Department to collect it later."
Jiang Weimin took the order with great joy
"President, thank you so much for your support and trust in my ideas!"
Song Wenqing patted Jiang Weimin on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Jiang, you are doing this entirely out of consideration for the future development of our publishing house.
If you have any new ideas or suggestions in the future, please feel free to put them forward.
Let’s work together to make the publishing house better and better!”
"President, please publish the news that our comic strips earn foreign exchange in major newspapers!
This way, we can publicize our advantages and attract more outstanding painters to submit their works!"
Song Wenqing smiled slightly and answered confidently: "Haha, Xiao Jiang, I remembered it when you told me about this last time, and I have already made arrangements for these things!
Not only that, taking advantage of this opportunity to successfully earn foreign exchange, I also communicated and negotiated further with the leaders of the Publishing Bureau and secured a batch of brand new printing equipment!
It is estimated that the monthly printing volume can reach 180 million copies! In terms of this number alone, it has surpassed Shandong Publishing House!"
Hearing this, Jiang Weimin couldn't help but give a thumbs up and exclaimed: "The president is really far-sighted and thoughtful!"
At this time, the president changed the subject and said, "Oh, by the way, Xiao Jiang, tell me about the posters you designed.
I consulted and found out that the most famous painters currently only get paid 50 yuan for each painting.
So, according to this market standard, I can only give you 50 yuan per painting."
"Boss, I can accept that."
"You painted a total of 11 works at the Canton Fair, which adds up to 550 yuan.
However, considering the actual situation, I specially helped you convert all the money into foreign exchange certificates."
"Boss, that's not right. Including the posters for the first and second printing and dyeing factories, I actually only completed 9 poster designs in total!"
Song Wenqing waved his hand and said with a generous smile: "It's okay, the design for my own booth also counts!"
Jiang Weimin quickly thanked him: "Thank you so much, President! By the way, President, I've been out for such a long time, I plan to go home tomorrow."
