Chapter 191: Planning in Advance
After Jiang Weimin returned to Qingdao, he began to prepare for various tasks in advance.
Actively communicate with the team about going to Beijing to work, and tell everyone that working in Beijing will provide food, accommodation and subsidies.
The painting team that Song Wenqing found for Jiang Weimin was composed of young people. They had no objection to going to Beijing to work and were full of expectations.
And everyone knows that this trip to Beijing is not to be transferred to Beijing for work in the future. Jiang Weimin will come back after graduation.
Another reason is that when I follow Jiang Weimin, the monthly bonus he gives me is higher than my salary.
If they miss this opportunity, they may be marginalized in Qingdao Publishing House or work in a workshop. Even if they don’t want to go, their families will force them to go!
People from other provinces who come to study here have no say because they have an agreement with Qingdao Publishing House.
They would definitely follow Jiang Weimin to Beijing, but Jiang Weimin also applied for subsidies for people from other publishing houses.
People from other provinces have been in Qingdao for some time, and it will take more than half a year for them to return to their respective publishing houses.
Jiang Weimin began to consider the issue of subsequent team members. There must be someone who can take over the painting work after this group of people leave!
At this time, Jiang Weimin urgently needed some "tools", but the school had not yet started recruiting students.
Although the textbooks compiled by Gu Bingxin had been sent, even if the school was established immediately, it would not be able to meet the current needs.
So Jiang Weimin found Song Wenqing again and asked him to help find at least ten more people.
Jiang Weimin now has a large team of people. As long as the personnel are in place, the transition will be very quick by adopting the model of old employees leading new employees.
Jiang Weimin now likes this method more and more. As long as he designs the characters' expressions and plots, others can create paintings according to the plots.
This model is both efficient and ensures the quality of the work, injecting strong impetus into the development of the team.
The reason why Jiang Weimin recruited so many people was that he had a grand plan in mind.
He was thinking of creating another comic strip on the theme of fantasy and chivalry to test the acceptance level of foreigners.
In the new century, the influence of Xianxia abroad may be limited.
But this is the 70s, a time when entertainment options and themes are extremely scarce.
As long as the fantasy theme can create a space and nourish the soil abroad, this land will surely become a bridgehead for the spread of Chinese culture.
Seeing that Jiang Weimin was going to recruit so many people again, Song Wenqing guessed in his heart that Jiang Weimin must be planning a new comic story.
Song Wenqing couldn't help but sigh that with Jiang Weimin's creative enthusiasm and planning, Qingdao Publishing House's existing printing equipment might still be far from enough.
Time passed quietly, and nearly four months had passed since Jiang Weimin went to Jinan.
During this period, the publishing house received a new color printing machine and a regular machine.
However, faced with Jiang Weimin's endless creations and growing demands, these devices still seem to be inadequate.
Nowadays, although Qingdao Publishing House’s monthly output has increased, it is still difficult to meet expectations.
Take the Monkey King comic book for example, eight volumes have been completed, but none of them have been released in the country yet.
The comic book series about the special forces has only just been published to its final volume.
At the same time, the special forces' storytelling has already been recorded and is being broadcast nationwide.
Fortunately, Jiang Defu and his group used pseudonyms in the story, otherwise, with such a fascinating story, they would have become famous all over the country by now.
Among the many characters, the most popular one is Wang Tieshan.
After all, he was brave and fearless in the battle and successfully beheaded the Japanese major general commander.
The thrilling scene and his heroism were deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience.
As the new year draws to a close, the Monkey King comic strip is gaining momentum overseas, with five volumes already successfully released.
Its printing volume remains basically stable at an order volume of around 100 million copies per month.
In 1977, the comic book "The Monkey King" alone brought Qingdao Publishing House foreign exchange income of up to 1200 million US dollars.
Each comic book can bring more than 200 million foreign exchange to Qingdao Publishing House.
You should know that the amount of foreign exchange obtained by Qingdao Publishing House alone was equivalent to the total amount of foreign exchange earned by Qingdao for three years in the 70s before Jiang Weimin was involved.
Such brilliant achievements have made Qingdao Publishing House the focus of everyone's attention.
Apart from handing over a portion of foreign exchange as required, Qingdao Publishing House now has ample funds and cannot spend them all.
As a result, various construction projects were launched in full swing, including the Qingdao Publishing House building, the comic book school, and the new printing factory.
Now, Qingdao Publishing House has started to build its own staff school and hospital.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Song Wenqing followed Jiang Weimin's advice and vigorously recruited a number of veteran Chinese medicine practitioners who had just been rehabilitated.
The addition of these veteran Chinese medicine practitioners will undoubtedly bring better medical care to Qingdao Publishing House’s employees and their families.
Although the wages of Qingdao Publishing House employees did not increase significantly, their various welfare benefits increased like a rocket.
Most of the former employees have now been allocated houses, and the new employees also know that new houses are still under construction, which makes them full of expectations for the future.
The entire Qingdao Publishing House can be said to have a high happiness index. In such a working environment, the employees are full of energy and confidence in the future of the publishing house.
Jiang Weimin's current royalty level has jumped to level 5, which is the highest level.
After calculation, he could earn as much as 5000 yuan for drawing a comic strip, including the royalties paid for earning foreign exchange.
Jiang Weimin thought about it carefully and was shocked.
In the 70s, such wages were truly considerable, almost catching up with the wage levels of the previous life.
Although five or six hundred of the 5000 yuan has to be distributed to the team, it is still amazing enough.
In more than three months, Jiang Weimin received more than 1 yuan in royalties and a lot of foreign exchange coupons.
Jiang Weimin used these foreign exchange coupons to buy some paintings by famous modern masters and ancient paintings.
However, some famous porcelains are still quite expensive, so Jiang Weimin only picked out two more famous ones.
Taking advantage of the current low price of jade, he also purchased a lot of jade.
It just so happened that this time he went to Jinan, he planned to give Su Tang and her mother a set of jade as a gift.
As for those porcelains and paintings, Jiang Weimin didn't dare tell An Jie and Jiang Defu.
Jiang Weimin only gave a set of bracelets to An Jie, and all the other treasures were placed in the military compound by Jiang Weimin.
In Jiang Weimin's opinion, the military compound is the safest place.
There are strict security measures here, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter at will.
