Chapter 385: A good start
The soft decoration of the studio was very fast, and within a few days, office desks, office chairs, computers, water dispensers, conference tables and other office utensils were all in place.
The efficiency is so high, and thanks to the help of the newly recruited Dong Xiaoyu and Xu Qin, with them helping Fu Lei, the efficiency has naturally improved a lot.
Sun Quan's own work also began to be shared.
He handed over the work of collecting some materials needed for the new book to Dong Xiaoyu.
For example, the collection of information on the various gods and goddesses in ancient myths and legends and the Buddhist family also needs to be collected.
If he had to collect these materials by himself, it would definitely be very time-consuming and test his patience, and after handing it over to Dong Xiaoyu, his workload would be reduced in an instant.
As for Xu Qin?
He temporarily handed over the manuscript he wrote every day to Xu Qin to correct the typos, as well as polish the wording, he coded each chapter very quickly, in this process, because the hand speed is too fast, sometimes it is inevitable that one or two sentences are not smooth enough and other small problems.
Give it to Xu Qin to polish, and the reader's reading experience will definitely be slightly better.
As for Fu Lei?
The manuscript that Xu Qin has revised and polished will be handed over to Fu Lei for another review and review.
Of course, Fu Lei's main job is not this, auditing, just a little work incidental to Fu Lei, she is mainly responsible for the operation of the entire studio, as well as copyright promotion.
One afternoon, Fu Lei knocked on the door and entered Sun Quan's office.
"Mr. Sun, I have something I want to discuss with you. ”
After entering, she spoke.
"What?"
Sun Quan temporarily stopped the code word, looked up and asked her, and by the way, he stretched out his hand to signal her to sit.
Fu Lei sat down across from his desk and said with a smile: "Mr. Sun, that's the case, you told me a few days ago that when you recruit writers in the future, try to recruit men, right?"
Sun Quan smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes! What's wrong?"
Fu Lei: "Well, not much, but have you thought about it? If we all recruit men to come, how to arrange accommodation? At present, Xu Qin and Dong Xiaoyu and I are all living downstairs, if we recruit a few more men to come over, let them also live in this villa? Inconvenient, right? In case something happens...... What do you say?"
Sun Quan frowned.
Fu Lei said again: "And there is only one villa area nearby, you can't rent or buy another villa in order to accommodate a few employees, right?"
Sun Quan's brows furrowed even tighter, and he squinted at her, "So, you mean that in the future, we will all recruit women?
Fu Lei couldn't help but smile, bowed her head slightly, and then raised her head again and said: "That's not it, I want to make a suggestion, I think we can install an anti-theft door at the staircase on the second floor, and then several of our women will move upstairs to live, vacate the rooms below, and let those male colleagues live in the future, do you think it's okay?"
Sun Quan pursed his lips and glanced at her, "Do you have a suggestion and just say that the suggestion is not okay? Go around in such a big circle with me? Okay! I agreed, pay attention in the future, if you have something to say, don't go around in circles with me, okay?"
Fu Lei nodded, "Well, I remember!"
When she got up and wanted to leave, Sun Quan stopped her, "Wait!"
"Mr. Sun, do you have any other orders?"
Fu Lei turned around and asked, her expression a little surprised.
Sun Quan hummed, opened the desk drawer, took out a piece of paper with several book titles written on it, and handed it to Fu Lei, "These books, you take them back!" Find a way to contact the authors of these books, ask if the relevant copyrights of these books are still in their hands, if they are still there, try to see if you can buy the relevant copyrights, well, if you can buy them, the copyright use time, at least sign me for more than 20 years!"
"Oh...... Good, good!"
Fu Lei took the piece of paper in a daze, and looked down to see several titles on it, and each title was also marked with the relevant copyright name.
For example, behind "Zhu Xian" is written the game adaptation rights and film and television adaptation rights.
For example, behind "Step by Step" and "Langya Bang", film and television adaptation rights are written.
Wait a minute.
Seven or eight book titles, Fu Lei looked at it at a glance, and only two or three of them were familiar to her, and she didn't even remember any of the rest.
She originally wanted to ask a few words, such as which website first published these books?
When the words came to her mouth, she suddenly thought that this information could be found on the Internet, so she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, nodded and said, "Okay, I will work hard, don't worry!"
Sun Quan hummed and said with a slight smile: "We have limited funds now, so don't be too rushed, first ask if the relevant copyright is still in their hands, if so, slowly bargain with them, anyway, we are not in a hurry, understand?"
Fu Lei smiled, "Understood!"
Sun Quan smiled and waved his hand, and then Fu Lei left.
When he was the only one left in the office, Sun Quan squinted and thought for a while, then smiled again before lowering his head and continuing to code.
He wasn't sure that the works on the list he had just handed over to Fu Lei would be able to buy the copyrights of a few books in the end, but it didn't matter!
Even if you only buy the relevant copyright of a book, it is still earning, anyway, there are dates or not, let's talk about it first.
If you can buy the relevant copyrights of a few more books, and then sell them to the outside world, it should be completely possible to earn two or three million, three or five million for one copyright, right?
Such a lucrative deal is almost comparable to investment real estate.
Of course, he can use all the money he earns in the future to invest in real estate, but after all, he is a person who writes online articles, and in the online literature industry, he really can't help but want to reach out and grab a handful of money that he can see.
Making money is one thing, and on the other hand, it's also about developing and growing his current studio.
He believes that as long as he handles the copyrights of those books, within a few years, his studio will be able to make a name for himself in the industry.
And then there may be opportunities to participate in some film and television drama investment.
You can use the copyright of those books as a stepping stone, and while making a fortune, you can also get in touch with some good film and television companies by the way.
In the end, what he wants to do most is to be able to participate in the film and television adaptation of his own works, the deeper he can participate, the better, he doesn't want his works to sell the adaptation rights, and just let others change them......
......
Sun Quan thought that after the list was handed over to Fu Lei, it would take at least a few days before the relevant report was made to him.
He definitely didn't expect that Fu Lei would come to report to him the next afternoon.
"Mr. Sun, on the list you gave me yesterday, I have contacted two of the authors, and the author of one of the books expressed her willingness to sell the film and television adaptation rights of her book, but she asked for 500,000 yuan, you see...... Do you want to continue to drag her for a while and then lower the price?"
Sun Quan was stunned, looked up and asked, "Which book?"
Fu Lei: "Step by Step"!"
"Step by Step" ......"
Sun Quan squinted and muttered, to be honest, he was surprised, he remembered that the book was adapted into a TV series quite early in the original time and space, and it was one of the early works of online text adapted into a TV series.
He couldn't remember the exact time, he vaguely remembered that the release time of this drama seemed to be only two or three years, and he had written the title of the book on that list before, but he didn't have much hope in his heart.
Because he subconsciously felt that the film and television adaptation rights of the book were likely to have been sold.
But the fact is that the film and television adaptation rights of this book are still in the hands of the original author?
"Mr. Sun, do you need me to drag her for a few days to lower the price?"
Fu Lei saw that Sun Quanhao didn't reply for a while, so she asked again.
Sun Quan came back to his senses and shook his head with a smile, "No! She wants 500,000 yuan, right? Give it to her! Sign this contract for me as soon as possible!"
He was afraid of long nights and dreams, and he couldn't remember when the film and television adaptation rights of the original time and space book were sold, but he believed that it should be soon.
At this time, of course, he must sign the adaptation rights of this book as soon as possible, and he can't entangle with the original author for three melons and two dates.
His thoughts in his heart were very clear, but Fu Lei was a little confused, she hesitated and asked: "Mr. Sun, 500,000 is just the author's offer, you give me a little time, I am confident that I can press down some of it! Didn't you say it yesterday, let's not be in a hurry to buy, contact first, can we drag down the price?"
Sun Quan shook his head, "The asking price is not high, and you still have to press 500,000 yuan?" Besides, this is the first business we have come into contact with since the opening of our studio, let's hurry up and sign this contract first, and strive for a good start!
"This ......"
Fu Lei was still a little hesitant, but after all, this studio belonged to Sun Quan, and since Sun Quan said so, she couldn't help it, so she just muttered: "500,000 is still cheap?"
Now it's only the beginning of 09, and the four trillion plan that began to be implemented at the end of last year has not yet fully developed, and 500,000 is still an astronomical amount for many people, and it is the wealth that the vast majority of families cannot accumulate for generations.
"Go! The sooner you sign it, the better! I'll wait to celebrate you!"
Sun Quan raised his chin and signaled that Fu Lei could go.
......
Fu Lei was very cautious in purchasing the film and television adaptation rights of "Step by Step", after all, this was the first copyright she personally purchased for the studio, and the amount involved was as high as 500,000.
So she deliberately went to borrow a lawyer from Yuan Shuiqing who was 99 Yellow Braised Chicken, and the next day she took the lawyer and flew to the city where the original author of "Step by Step Shocking" was located.
In fact, in today's era, there is no need to go through such a lot of trouble to sign a contract, the two parties negotiate the main terms of the contract on the Internet, and the party who buys the copyright provides an electronic version of the contract to the other party to see, if there is no problem, let the other party print out the electronic contract, sign it, send it over, and as for the copyright fee, it can also be transferred through the bank.
But Fu Lei wanted to go over in person and sign a contract with the author on the spot in person, Sun Quan naturally had no opinion, he appreciated Fu Lei's caution and seriousness.
