Chapter 60: Lu Tao's Change
99 years have passed, this year, Zhuo Ziyuan has a good harvest, the additional issuance of ten miles of peach blossoms and the publication of pillow books have provided him with nearly 500,000 after-tax income, and the previous album sales are also very good, successively providing him with nearly one million after-tax income, deducting the money to buy the store, Zhuo Ziyuan still has more than one million savings, and he is already a standard millionaire, which is also the capital he dares to acquire 123.
Only two days later, Lu Tao sent a message back to Zhuo Ziyuan, and went to Zhuo Ziyuan's house to talk in the evening.
"Mr. Zhuo, this is the relevant information about this website, but, to be honest, we all feel that there is no need to acquire this website. As he spoke, Lu Tao took out a total of only three sheets of investigation information, because the information on the website was very simple.
"Oh, what do you say?" Zhuo Ziyuan replied to Lu Tao while looking at the information.
The information is very simple, the domain name was applied for in May, and the official launch was in August, and now it is basically spread by word of mouth, and the most used is the Internet café.
One of the information is Li Xingping's personal introduction, which is not very detailed, and you know the work address, home address, age, high school graduation, these simple information.
"First, this website has almost no technical content, just a collection of some commonly used website links, and any computer school graduate can do it. Second, the website has only been online for a short time, and there is no means of promotion. Third, this founder only has a high school education, has not received systematic management training, and is not of much value to website management. Therefore, if Mr. Zhuo wants to invest at a large cost, we recommend that it is better to develop it himself. ”
In fact, it only took Lu Tao one day to investigate these materials, and it took two days to come to see Zhuo Ziyuan, that is, Lu Tao consulted and communicated with the professionals of the law firm, and it took some extra time.
The reason why Lu Tao is willing to take the time to study these is because he is personally very optimistic about Zhuo Ziyuan, although after he communicated this matter with other lawyers in the law firm, others felt that Zhuo Ziyuan was a person who was ambitious and had no vision, but Lu Tao had frequent contact with Zhuo Ziyuan, and the more he understood, the more he knew that although Zhuo Ziyuan looked young, he had a maturity far beyond his peers.
Since the last film and television adaptation copyright fee was so far from Zhuo Ziyuan's expectations, Lu Tao knew that he needed to re-examine the cooperation between himself and Zhuo Ziyuan, he needed more initiative, and Lu Tao reviewed what Zhuo Ziyuan had done.
In Lu Tao's eyes, Zhuo Ziyuan is very measured, step-by-step, never in a hurry, writing, first submitted articles in magazines, and then became a little famous in magazines, and then arranged to publish books, and after two bestsellers in China, he was ready to be published by the United States. This matter may seem to others to be unscrupulous, but Lu Tao feels that this is a steady progress.
Then it is to write songs, Zhuo Ziyuan did not write a few songs and was in a hurry to sell them or sing them himself, and he made up enough enough to publish a compilation album, and then sold them through the relationship of the law firm to maximize profits, Lu Tao felt that this was the maturity and stability that he should have at his age.
Take the matter of convenience stores again, the supermarket has been open for more than half a year before expanding the convenience store, there must be a profit base and future sales expectations, and only one store is opened, Lu Tao knows that it is not a problem for Zhuo Ziyuan to make money to open five stores at one time, but Zhuo Ziyuan still only opened one, it should be a exploration of this new model, after all, convenience stores and supermarkets are different.
Therefore, Lu Tao knew that Zhuo Ziyuan was doing things safely, and he was willing to put the treasure on Zhuo Ziyuan, and he had a hunch that the future would be closely related to Zhuo Ziyuan, so Lu Tao was very concerned about Zhuo Ziyuan's affairs.
Lu Tao didn't know that Zhuo Ziyuan didn't have any ambitions now, but within his ability, he just happened to encounter these things, and he knew that there were prospects, so he did it, and there was no advanced planning, after all, the beginning of all careers needs capital.
Listening to Lu Tao's words, Zhuo Ziyuan was silent for a while, he didn't expect that he just asked Lu Tao to investigate the basic information, Lu Tao even found someone to make such an analysis together, the last film and television copyright matter, although he didn't say anything, but Zhuo Ziyuan was a little dissatisfied, Zhuo Ziyuan was very pleased that Lu Tao had such a change, which shows that Lu Tao is paying more and more attention to cooperation with Zhuo Ziyuan.
"I know what you said, but I don't want to attract too much attention, let this website develop slowly, when the time is right, I will communicate with the other party, and when the time comes, I need you to come with me and finalize the contract with me. ”
"I don't know how much Mr. Zhuo is going to buy. Lu Tao saw that Zhuo Ziyuan said this, and he didn't insist, he had already reminded what he could remind.
"Give him half a year to see the development of the website, within 500,000. Zhuo Ziyuan said casually.
"Mr. Zhuo, if that's the case, it's really better to build a website like this on your own, and the money is enough for the initial publicity. Lu Tao couldn't help but remind again.
"You also said that this website is very simple, if it attracts the attention of a large company, then it will be nothing for me, or let it develop silently is more in line with my current needs, and, lawyer Lu, I hope this matter is a secret between us, don't tell anyone else. Lu Tao, who was staring at Zhuo Ziyuan, said, he suddenly realized that too many people should not know about this matter, and the more people who know, the more variables there are, so he advised.
"Mr. Zhuo, rest assured, I still have this professional ethics, please rest assured. Lu Tao also said solemnly.
"Okay, I hope you can do what you say. Zhuo Ziyuan has decided in his heart that if another navigation website appears within 1 year, he will stop cooperating with Lu Tao.
Lu Tao didn't know that because of his initiative, Zhuo Ziyuan had already made such a bad plan, but fortunately, there was no second navigation website within a year, and he maintained a friendly development with Zhuo Ziyuan.
"Mr. Zhuo, regarding the publication of books by US imperialists, we have reached an agreement with a US imperialist law firm, and there are usually two models for US imperialism to publish books, one is a direct buyout, and we do not recommend this model. The other is to pay the copyright fee proportionally, the copyright fee of the US imperialists is much higher than that of our country, generally between 15~25%, the US imperialists respect the copyright of writers very much, oh no, it should be said that they attach great importance to the copyright of all knowledge. ”
"That's good news, because I and your firm are making more money. Zhuo Ziyuan was very happy to hear Lu Tao's good news, he didn't expect the copyright fee of the American imperialist to be so high, it seems that it is more appropriate to publish a book abroad, whether he wants to go all out to develop abroad in the future, but I don't know how much a book of the American imperialist generally costs.
Lu Tao explained everything that should be explained clearly, so he didn't bother Zhuo Ziyuan anymore, and said goodbye directly, Zhuo Ziyuan likes this style of doing things, he doesn't like and is not good at chatting with people or anything.
