Chapter 99: The Contradiction of the Writing Club

  What Su Jin said is actually a contradiction that the current writing club is facing. In fact, this contradiction has existed since the day the writing club was established. It just wasn't severe at the time, but as the writing club developed, this contradiction became more and more prominent, and now it's already at a level where it can't be ignored.

  That is the problem of too many idle personnel in the writing club. The so-called idle personnel in Su Jin's mouth actually refers to the reading group in the writing club. Su Jin is not opposed to the existence of the reading group, on the contrary, no one can ignore the merits of the reading group.

  In Su Jin's view, the reading group in the writing club has a similar meaning to the editor of a certain point in later generations. Before the writing group officially uploads its work, there is a reading group that evaluates it first. This is especially true for the pipeline team.

  It is not uncommon for the reading group to also undertake tasks such as collecting outstanding works from the internet, providing creative ideas for authors who want to write books, and commenting on books. It can be seen that while undertaking editorial work, he is also responsible for promoting the writing club in a certain sense.

  But everything has a limit. The existence of reading groups cannot be ignored, but the number should be controlled! Have you ever thought about the result that there are more editors than authors in some future publications?

  Maybe in other people's eyes, this doesn't matter much, a bit more is just a bit more. It's not formal work, can't you arrange it more comfortably with more manpower?

  But Su Jin doesn't think so. In his view, the Writing Society has developed to a point where it can no longer be treated as an ordinary club. To date, the society's official members have exceeded 3,000 people! This number already surpasses that of the School of Commerce.

  If there isn't a reasonable system, it's hard to believe that he will continue to maintain it. What did the writing club develop into? It's simple: welfare. The welfare of the writing club is almost equivalent to the salary of an ordinary worker in current society.

  As a student, you can get a salary comparable to that of an average adult. For these vocational students who are just here to kill time, this is undoubtedly an irresistible temptation.

  But in business, Su Jin couldn't just give anyone a high salary. From his perspective, the employees had to put in labor that matched the salary he was giving them.

  This is not stinginess, but a necessary choice. If all employees were paid high wages, let alone the fact that Mengxiang Technology's strength does not allow it to do so, even if it really did, it would probably be a loss.

  Giving the same salary to some idle people, how can we explain it to those members who work hard every day. Simply put, the current writing group's member salary is generally maintained at a normal person's salary level.

  Of course, excluding the top ten people in the first-tier writing club, who are currently at the high level of the entire writing club. We're talking about ordinary members. What kind of labor do they pay? At least 7,000 words per day! And this is without holidays, that is to say, if a member wants to avoid being delayed by some things, it's best to maintain more than 10,000 words per day. Only then will there be affluence.

  Ten thousand words a day. Generally speaking, a writer can produce about 2,000 words in an hour when they have ideas, so ten thousand words would take at least four or five hours, and if you add the time spent thinking, it's equivalent to an eight-hour workday.

  This model can only be achieved in a business school that doesn't take learning seriously, if it were to happen in a key middle school, the school would have already gone crazy. After putting in this much effort, if these writers are paid the same as ordinary employees, who would be willing?!

  Moreover, people do not worry about poverty but worry about inequality. Some may say that if so, then let the members of the reading group take low wages and it will be fine. In theory, this is possible, but it goes against Su Wei's goals.

  In Su Jin's view, if the level of wages is lowered to a standard that people don't care about, then the enthusiasm of the commune members will naturally also be reduced to a degree that they can hardly tolerate.

  Imagine. If no one cares about this job, who will take the writing club's work seriously? You know that reading group work can also be boring. Sometimes even reading the same book continuously can be annoying.

  The best approach is to control the size of the reading group, ideally keeping it at a ratio of 1:10 with the writing group.

  What a pity. The ideal is very rich, but the reality is very poor. Currently, the reality is that this ratio is close to 8:1. Su Jin had to admit that in the eyes of most people, they still prefer reading books over writing them. People are all lazy after all.

  Currently, even though Su Jin has tried his best to lower the salaries of the book club members, the number of people in the book club is still increasing. Of course, there's another reason, which is that not everyone is suitable for writing books.

  After all, everyone has their own strengths. It's just that at present, the existence of the writing club is the only one, which has led to this situation. Su Jin believes that if other organizations similar to the writing club can be established as soon as possible, it will have a great promoting effect on the writing club.

  "Hey, have you heard? Our school is going to be featured in a TV series," said a student wearing glasses with golden frames.

  "Really? When did it happen? How come I didn't know?" A round-faced girl immediately came over and asked.

  "Haha, of course, this is internal news from the writing club. My older brother is part of the management team, and I heard it from him." The bespectacled man said with a self-satisfied smile.

  "What's going on? What TV series are we supposed to film?" The round-faced girl asked hurriedly.

  "To be honest, I'm not very clear either. All I know is that we're going to film a TV series, and the name seems to be 'Youth in Blossom' or something like that. That's all I know." Jin Bian said with some embarrassment.

  "Hmph! I thought you were more capable than that, but it turns out you're just this weak!" The round-faced girl said disdainfully.

  "Hey, don't look down on people, okay? Although I'm not very clear about it, but I know that Su Yan is going to give a speech soon. At that time, he will definitely talk about the TV series." said Jin Bian, his eyes behind his glasses flashing with indignation.

  "It's time for the speech! It's great, Su Jin is going to give a speech again. Su Jin's last speech was really wonderful, it made people feel excited and enthusiastic without realizing it." The round-faced girl suddenly looked forward to it with anticipation.

  "Alright, stop being infatuated with him. Even if Su Jin is great, he has nothing to do with you, and with the school flower around, what does he have to do with you? You'd be better off considering me than expecting something from him!" said the bespectacled man with a hint of resentment.

  "Flower idiot? Who's a flower idiot, you're the one who's a flower idiot! Your whole family is full of flower idiots!" The round-faced girl suddenly shrieked.

  ……

  It wasn't long before the news of filming a TV series spread throughout the school, thanks to Su Man's intentional or unintentional efforts. Similarly, the news that Su Jin was going to give a speech also spread throughout the school and even beyond, circulating in the entire ancient city.
