Comprehensive comic: Building a group of gods from scratch

Short hair, blue eyes, big breasts, and most importantly, black stockings.

Although she has a lustful image, she is actually a serious publisher editor and will soon serve as the editor-in-chief.

This is Machidaenko.

Standing in front of the office door of the editor-in-chief of Fusugawa Bookstore, Machida Enko took a few deep breaths, and then knocked on the door:

"Report, Machida Enzi came to report"

"come in."

A calm and rich middle-aged male voice sounded in the room.

After hearing this, Machida Enko hugged the folder in her arms tightly with her left hand, pushed the door open and walked in.

After pushing the door open, Machida Enko saw her boss's boss. ~’s boss, Editor-in-Chief Ito.

Seeing Machida Enko standing across the desk, Editor-in-Chief Ito just glanced at her and said:

"Machida, I heard that you were having a bad time with your colleagues in the marketing department?"

"No, it's not. It's just that there are some differences in the number of publications of the work as usual."

Machida Enzi, who had already had psychological expectations before coming here, was shocked when she heard this.

What did the people in the marketing department do? They brought such a trivial matter to the editor-in-chief and made a small report? What?"

Editor-in-Chief Ito turned to the summary of love metronome and couldn't help but frowned:

"The sales volume did not meet expectations. The printing house even accumulated 15% of the printed library copies, and the feedback from readers was not very satisfactory....I’m very curious about Machida’s reasons for supporting this work and hoping to increase its print run."

"......."Machida Enzi didn't dare to say anything for a moment.

Although the quality of some works is very good, the sales volume was actually released suddenly without much publicity. Therefore, the 15% inventory is not an unsatisfactory performance. The real problem lies in the propaganda department's messed up publicity.

The two major powerful departments of the publishing house have been offended by me, so can I still be an editor in the future?

Because of such concerns, Machida Enzi did not speak out and did not dare to speak out.

Seeing Machida Enoko's silence, Editor-in-Chief Ito's reaction was very calm:

"Machida"

"exist. Editor-in-Chief Yitong clasped his hands together, put them to his mouth, and said with a serious face:

"I can understand your feelings. The works you love are not understood by the public due to various reasons. This is a very sad thing."

"But it’s heartbreaking. Such a thing should not affect an editor’s judgment of data."

"《The work"Metronome of Love" may be excellent, but publishing houses want to make money. What we pursue is not excellent works, but profits!"

"Now, if you study the data carefully, is this work really worth reprinting?"

Machida Enzi didn't dare not answer:

"From sales data and reader feedback.....not worth it."

Seeing this, Editor-in-Chief Ito did not say anything further, but simply said:

"Inform the author to finish the three volumes and prepare for the next work. The publisher will not reject every work with good feedback data."

"You go down first"

"yes."

Machida Enko also knew what the problem was.

It was just a certain person in the publicity department who played a little trick.

Machida Enko, who was not aware of this at the time, strongly recommended Kasumigaoka Shiu's works to the marketing department, and the marketing department Out of trust in her, we increased the number of publications.

As a result, because of someone from the Propaganda Department, sales plummeted. A large number of multi-printed library books could not be sold, and the pressure was directly placed on the marketing department, which determines the number of publications..

Isn’t this a trap for the marketing department?

They believed in Machida Enko’s judgment and decided to increase the number of first publications. As a result, the product was not good and could not be sold, which was a trap for them.

This result directly Let the marketing department complain that Machida Enoko cheated people, which caused conflicts, and even went directly to the editor-in-chief.

After all, publishing novels in island countries must directly print books.

No matter how the book sells, before it is released, There is a print quantity.

And this print quantity requires payment.

The printer, editor draws a commission, the author draws a commission, the illustrator draws a commission, the bookstore draws a commission, and the transportation company draws a commission.

These commissions are determined by the marketing department. Then you have to pay for it.

And once the printed quantity is not sold out, the responsibility lies with the marketing department.

It was just a random change by the front-line staff of the propaganda department, and a book that Machida Enko thought would sell well was decided to be cut in half.

For romance light novels, five volumes is a normal series. After three volumes, isn't it cut in half? The publicity department did something wrong, and she took the blame with the marketing department. When it was over, the marketing department still hated her. Machida Enko really felt that she It was so unfair.

However, there was nothing she could do about it. Who made her just a powerless editor?

Machida Enko walked out of the editor-in-chief's office with a lot of negative emotions, and when she was about to leave, a colleague suddenly became angry come over

"Borrow it."

Machida Enzi heard this and stepped out of the way. She turned around and looked in at the open door of the editor-in-chief's office. She saw the editor-in-chief's confidant who seemed to be nervous and said something to the editor-in-chief.

【Extraordinary board meeting....Equity transfer....President transfer....The new president is coming to inspect....】

Machida Enzi blinked after hearing the end. She heard a familiar name behind the words of the new president.

——Kasumigaoka Shiyu

"No way?"A terrible thought came to Machida Enzi's heart...
