Just when the American comic book industry was in the midst of a war, Wang gradually sent Lily back to his apartment.

The two have their own tacit understanding of this unclear relationship.

Of course, no one talks about what will happen in the future.

By the time Wang gradually arrived at the office, it was already afternoon.

While the employees were busy, they flattered the boss and greeted the boss.

Wang gradually smiled and dealt with them one by one.

Soon, Tom came up to him with an ambiguous smile.

"Wang, this is the data for the physical book booking of the website. Tom followed him into the office.

Wang gradually picked up the data and watched it carefully, only to see that the number of bookings for "Arcane Constellation", which was ranked first, was still growing wildly.

The rest of the finished works have come to a standstill.

"This is the sales of the comic version from Dark Horse Comics. Tom handed over another file.

"In the first climax of comic book sales in three hours, Arcane Throne sold more than Superman and Spider-Man in the same period. ”

However, he was later overtaken by "Spider-Man". ”

"What about sales?" Wang gradually took the file, "did it meet expectations?"

"Of course, it should be said that it is far beyond the expectations of Dark Horse Comics. Tom replied with a happy smile.

Wang gradually smiled and made a cup of green tea bought from Chinatown at a high price, and said with a smile: "As long as "Arcane Throne" can reap profits in all aspects, don't just focus on one aspect of the comics." ”

However, it also shows that a work needs exposure in many aspects. ”

He pointed to the physical book booking data on the desktop and said, "Judging from the results, there will be a certain linkage between all aspects." ”

"Yes. Tom nodded in response, "So, can the conditions of Random House be agreed to increase the exposure of the work in terms of physical books?"

Wang gradually tapped his fingers on the table twice, and then said: "You can agree, but first you need a work to try." ”

"It's not appropriate to test the waters with the still growing Arcane Throne. ”

"Let's try it out with the second place we booked in the physical book?" asked Tom

"Yes. Wang gradually replied: "We don't know what the outcome of the cooperation will be, and neither does Random House. ”

"It's going to be easy to talk about. ”

He looked at the second place in the physical book reservation, which was "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"?

"That's it. He pointed to the document, "You go and contact the author and ask if he would like to sell the physical book." ”

"It's better to invite the author to New York and have a press conference with Random House or something. ”

"Okay. ”

Wang gradually smiled and watched Tom leave the office, and then picked up the phone to inform EA about the release of the comic book version.

After all, people pay for all kinds of subsidies, don't they?

After reaping a sound of joy, Wang gradually drank tea comfortably, ready to continue the adaptation of "Extreme Heavenly Demon".

But Tom turned back and said, "That writer named J.K. Rowling is ecstatic." ”

"As soon as I got on the phone, the other party was full of promises. ”

"And what about Random House?" asked Wang Yan.

They also agreed to hold a press conference to promote the signing ceremony for the website, the authors and the publisher. ”

Notify Dorsey and put the news on the homepage of the website. The king commanded.

In this way, it should be possible to greatly increase the willingness of writers to publish their works on the website.

He thought differently.

If you are a down-and-out writer, apart from the possibility of physical publication of your work, what else can reassure them?

"By the way, how is the tax-exempt status certification of the "Literature Lovers Charity Fund"? Wang gradually asked.

"This is much more difficult than you think. Tom said with a bitter face: "There are many foundations that apply for free qualifications every year, and if you want to do it, you need a lot of political resources. ”

Wang gradually looked at Tom looking at him with a look of hope, and sighed helplessly.

In the U.S., if you want to get things done, you have to find connections...

But the highest-level politician he has access to is only the sheriff level of the new community.

Thrown into the country, it is probably the head of a police station.

What good can this be?

"No, find a political PR agency?"

Tom, the turtle, was no better, and in the end he just held back a sentence that was not a solution.

Wang gradually rubbed his temples and said, "You inquire about the market first." ”

"Then, report back to me. ”

At the moment, within Silicon Valley.

A young man named Musk is taking a deep breath with a serious face.

Not long ago, he had just sold his ZIP company in exchange for some of the start-up capital.

Musk wants to use the money to invest in the construction of an online payment platform.

But the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

The construction of this online payment platform is, in a sense, the establishment of a large-scale capital guarantee company.

It not only needs the acceptance of merchants, but also the support of major banks, just like VISA and know-it-all on the network.

But with his small arms and legs alone, it is obviously difficult to accomplish such a feat.

So, Musk thought of the investors he was investing in when he founded ZIP, Sequoia Capital and Goldman Sachs.

All right... Two little people below.

But Musk has never been a person who is willing to give up.

He is convinced that as long as these two people can be impressed, it will be possible to declare the proposal to the top of these two major capitals.

For these two capitals, communicating with the bank is simply a breeze.

At that time, my own PayPal will be more than half successful.

Just as he was dreaming about the future, a staff member woke him up and led him to the conference room.

Musk looked at the capital representatives who came to participate in the Silicon Valley incubation meeting and showed a bright smile.

"Although, most of the services on the web are currently free. However, this business model is not sustainable. ”

Musk stood on the stage and said, "In the future, the Internet will have a variety of paid services. ”

"In this regard, eBay, Amazon and have been ahead of the curve. ”

As he spoke, he opened a slide and began to detail the payment of the three sites.

"And this kind of online payment service, VISA and know-it-all bank cards, are both inconvenient and insecure to use. ”

"So, my vision is to provide a fully web-based payment platform, PayPal. This will be very promising. ”

Musk said, looking at the thoughtful crowd below with satisfaction.

But what he didn't know was that in addition to his proposal, these people were discussing the website called it.

What is this site for, and why is the payment rate so high?

"What did you invest in?" someone asked Morgan's investor.

"No, we're investing in Amazon. ”

"What about you?" someone asked Sequoia Capital.

"We invested in eBay. ”

The investment representative of Goldman Sachs Investment glanced at the crowd of people discussing and walked out of the conference room slightly sideways.

"Manager, there's a website called it, it's worth paying attention to. ”
