God Descends the Second Element

"The first point is the current writers in our publishing house. Although there is a new writer with good potential for the time being, it is obviously impossible to support the entire publishing house."

Machida Enzi said slowly, paused for a moment, and glanced sideways at the new president who was sitting in the middle.

"Keep talking, I'm listening." Wang Hao nodded and replied lightly, with his hands and fingers crossed and his expression very serious.

“At present, relying on the remaining authors of Immortal Sichuan Publishing House can only temporarily support this small and medium-sized publishing house, but if it wants to grow bigger, this is the most fatal flaw.

Although we cannot compare with a giant like Dengeki Bunko, if we want Fusugawa Publishing House to get out of this predicament, we must have at least one top-notch writer who belongs to our publishing house! "

Her words were immediately recognized by others present. The current situation of Fusukawa Library is very bad. Several old authors and editors have quit one after another, which is also one of the important reasons for the current bad situation.

For publishing houses, the quality of novels must be good, which means there must be many middle-level authors. This is the most basic element to gain a foothold.

Immortal Sichuan Bunko was able to do this in the past, but the backbone authors have switched jobs one after another for various reasons, leaving only a group of newcomers. One of the newcomers has shown considerable potential and is currently considered by Immortal Sichuan Bunko. Focus on seed cultivation.

This newcomer who is valued by Fusugawa Bunko is none other than the writer Kasumi Shiko-sensei who is personally responsible for Machida Enoko!

It's a pity that although Teacher Kasumi Shiko has the potential to become a top-notch writer, she is too young. Maybe she will be able to achieve success in the future, but definitely not now. After all, distant water cannot save a near fire.

Originally, for small and medium-sized publishing houses like Immortal Sichuan Publishing House, there was no need to support writers at all, because this was too luxurious, and it was completely unnecessary to operate well.

Because currently there are very few leading writers in the entire light novel world in Neon, at least they all work in super first-class publishing houses.

Even Dengeki Bunko, the most popular light novel genre at the moment, has only three leading writers.

Of course, Dengeki Bunko also has a lot of backbone writers. With three top writers and a steady stream of high-quality newcomers, the limelight will only become more and more popular.

Now it can be seen that the old authors are basically stable and will not leave their publishing houses easily. Unless it is a publishing house that is as precarious as Immortal River and may go bankrupt at any time, the old authors will choose to leave on their own.

In addition, not to mention the top writers, publishing houses treat them like giant Buddhas, and they are of a type that is impossible to poach.

"What Editor Machida said is right, but where can we find the tripod writers? It's not that we haven't tried it before, but our small temple can't accommodate a big Buddha like the tripod writer, or in other words, people don't look down on us at all. Publishing House, and even newcomers have stopped submitting articles recently..."

Kotaro Aihara laughed at himself, and the words he said immediately made the talkative Machida Enko speechless, and the atmosphere at the scene became silent again.

No one refuted what Kotaro Aihara said, because Kotaro Aihara only told the truth, without any falsehood in it, and reflected the situation very truly.

Originally, everyone knew this kind of thing, but no one went to point it out. Kotaro Aihara was originally unwilling to say it out loud, because when Taku Watanabe was still serving as president, he had made relevant remarks, but he was severely punished. He was severely criticized.

Perhaps in Watanabe Taku's eyes, what he said was a slap in the face in front of everyone, because the reason why Fusukawa Bunko has developed like this is entirely the president's fault. 'credit'.

But this new president is different. Although Machida Enko's words were unintentional, they also gave the new president a loud slap in the face. However, the other party did not have any anger at all. Instead, he was seriously discussing with everyone how to solve the problem. .

For his new president to have such a humble attitude, Kotaro Aihara couldn't help but see a glimmer of hope. He thought he had feelings for this publishing house, so he chose to speak his mind frankly.

"Yes, the newcomers nowadays are basically the ones that major publishing houses are competing for. After all, fresh blood is the most important thing at the moment. For newcomers with great potential like Teacher Kasumi Shiko, it is already difficult for Fusukawa Bunko to I found the second one, let alone a great writer..."

Seeing two people starting to speak, Wang Hao still didn't say anything. Kenichiro Ishimoto also felt relieved, shook his head worriedly, and said with a little emotion.

For veteran authors and top writers, it is almost impossible for Immortal Sichuan Library to poach other publishing houses, so it can only start from the path of new authors.

But unfortunately, it is already very difficult to recruit new people now. Sometimes the editor-in-chief or even the editor-in-chief of Fusigawa Library personally come to recruit people, but they may not be able to recruit new authors.

The reason is also very simple. New authors who are new to this industry are inevitably arrogant. In addition, Dengeki Bunko has been recruiting new people in recent years, and there are obvious returns. Other publishing houses have followed suit.

Although he can't eat meat, he can at least drink a sip of soup, but for Fusukawa Bunko, he may not even be able to drink soup.

With this in mind, Kenichiro Ishimoto smiled bitterly, "If editor-in-chief Tomioka hadn't left..."

"That's enough, no need to mention the traitor!"

Before Kenichi Ishimoto could finish what he said, Kotaro Aihara immediately became excited and interrupted him quickly with a hint of annoyance. The rest of the members, including Machida Enko, remained silent.

Wang Hao's heart moved at that moment. He naturally knew who Tomioka was that Kenichiro Ishimoto said. He also had a rough idea of ​​the reason, because the information Busujima Saeko gave him even included a list of employees and some Fusukawa Bunko. Big events happened.

Tomioka Seisuke, the former editor-in-chief of the Immortal River Library, had a dispute with Watanabe Taku, and in a fit of anger, he took three editors and seven old authors of the Immortal River Library to change jobs.

After seeing such a simple paragraph, Wang Hao could already guess the general process of the matter, and also thought that the abnormality of Fusukawa Bunko during this period must have a huge relationship with this matter.

Because Tomioka Seisuke left with the editors and old authors, it may not have any impact on a large publishing house, but for small and medium-sized publishing houses like Fusigawa Bunko, it is a fatal blow!
