512. Market
These big businessmen usually have no days off for work, not that they are diligent personally, but that they have a large number of subordinates, and as long as they think of something, they will arrange it immediately.
Weekends belong to the working class who receive monthly pay.
"Faster than I thought!" Li Guobao exhaled, "Send a message to Eddie and ask him to hurry up as soon as possible." Stuff need to be printed quickly!"
Li Guobao stared at these file bags, this book was like a mountain of gold. He also has a branch in San Francisco, and the Li family also has several companies there.
Speaking of the end of the year, East Asia should take the opportunity to swallow up a few small banks, and now these 20 or so branches are too few!
Thinking of this, the palms of his hands were already sweaty, as long as he didn't let these people see Li Yiming, otherwise it would be good to keep half of these things in his hands.
"After receiving the message from Jinli, some of the owners of those factories have already come over, and now they are being taken to the conference room on the third floor, but there are not too many people there. ”
"I'll leave this to them," Li Guobao waved his hand and took a deep breath, "You can just notify the next one." ”
Bai Annie's eyelids twitched slightly.
Li Guobao clenched his fist and lightly smashed it twice on his forehead, carefully recalling Li Yiming's every word and deed.
He didn't seem to ask about the no-plan plan after the breakfast meeting, and he ran it with East Asia, and then he wrote his own book, and now that the lawyer has arrived, he should start dealing with patents.
"In this way, the priority book is the first, but it says three hundred and sixty-five, and there are only so many here...... Immediately the people from those factories are coming up, what is he trying to do?"
Li Guobao really wanted to go over there, and he was itching, but he had to endure it, because at any time, there would be a surprise visit from the uncle and brother, if he went to that conference room,......
It's better to figure out the plan of agency issuance first, otherwise...... What to say?
I have to say something that Li Yiming doesn't understand very well!
......
Li Guobao looked at the information, and then instructed Bai Annie: "You go to the shelves and find those books on copyright law." ”
He didn't know much about taxes before, but it was easy to understand.
As mentioned above, the United States is very supportive of the publishing industry, and its first copyright law was in existence in 1891. And now there is no federal tax on the publishing industry, but state governments levy a sales tax of 7 to 10 percent on commercial publishers and no sales tax on non-profit publishers.
The point is that the import and export of books and periodicals is duty-free.
"The cost of printing in Hong Kong is very low. Li Guobao said in a low voice.
"Actually, it's even lower in the mainland!" Aaron said, looking up.
"There are not many factories in the mainland. Li Guobao knew in his heart that Li Yiming was so eager to write these books and take them for typesetting, he must have wanted to make money as soon as possible.
It turns out that he is such a Li Yiming!
Li Guobao looked down at the information while contemplating carefully, if Li Yiming's books are of the same level, then how should this market be opened?
The Li family actually has some network resources in English-speaking areas, just like in the UK, needless to say, they can find a suitable distribution partner at any time.
Another big market for books is the United States, where book distribution is mainly based on chain bookstores and mega bookstores.
But outside of bookstores, newsstands, stationery stores, cigarette shops, pharmacies (grocery stores), department stores, supermarkets, train stations and airports actually sell books.
Professional books are mainly mail-order, and popular books, paper books and children's books are mainly in the retail market.
There are a lot of bookstores in the United States now, but if you want to spread them out, it is best to go directly to B. Dolden. Dalton) and aldenbooks, as these two large bookstore chains now add up to more than 1,500 branches.
"Li Sheng, no!" Bai Annie said.
Li Guobao frowned and raised his head: "How could it be." ”
He stood up and walked over, and there was a large shelf in the office for books, and a whole row of books at the top of the room was a code, which he remembered as the U.S. copyright law.
Bai Anne didn't speak, she really didn't find it.
Li Guobao looked at her: "You took it yesterday?"
Bai Annie hurriedly shook her head: "I didn't take the things in this room." ”
Li Guobao stared at the obvious vacant space, and the few hardcover books that were missing made the originally dense pile of books a little loose.
"Could it be ......," Aaron said suddenly.
Li Guobao stared at the shelf for a while, looked at the window, looked at the door, and shook his head: "You go to Li Sheng's office on the eighth floor to take a look." ”
Anne Bai nodded a little panickedly.
"Forget it!" Li Guobao stopped her again, "You go and give him these materials, and ask him if he wants to read the copyright law in the United States." ”
"You're not going?"
Li Guobao shook his head, clicked on the manuscript, and motioned for him to read it again: "By the way, you asked him if he wanted to come over and take a rest." ”
Bai Annie nodded and walked out of the door, thinking for a moment that she was not in a hurry to go to the conference room, walked to her seat and sat down, twisting her fingers for a while.
Huang Anqi listened to the phone and recorded.
White Anne glanced at her, gently opened the drawer, and pulled out a bag of chocolates.
"Huh?" Huang Anqi stretched out his hand.
Anne Bai shook her head and pointed in the direction of the conference room.
Huang Anqi stuck out her tongue.
"Annie, is Li Sheng free?" Ah Biao came over with a pile of paper bags.
Bai Annie nodded and looked at the thing in his arms: "Again?"
Ah Biao hummed, turned around and walked towards Li Guobao's office.
The two girls stuck out their tongues, and it was only a matter of time, and there were only thirty books.
"Oh, that's... Is Ichiaki free?"
Ah Biao turned his head with a strange expression, a little stiff: "I don't know, what's the matter with you?"
"I have information to show him. Bai Anne raised the chocolate in her hand, and when she found that she had made a mistake, she quickly replaced it with a folder.
"Then you go and go in yourself. Ah Biao shook his head slightly and knocked on the door.
Taking two deep breaths, Bai Annie picked up the folder and put the bag of chocolates on it, and Huang Anqi pursed her lips.
When she came to the conference room, Bai Annie gently pushed the door, and couldn't help but be scared, as if there was a big monster locked inside.
When the door opened a crack, the sound had already come out, and it felt like the room was quite lively, and many people were working, but she only saw Li Yiming sitting behind the computer typing on the keyboard.
At the other end of the large conference table, six lawyers sat together, each with a few pieces of paper with product drawings and descriptions in front of them, which Li Yiming had just drawn for them, and they had to prepare patent application documents based on these drawings and some characteristic descriptions.
Everyone has a pen in their hands and writes something in a notebook, and from time to time they talk to each other, communicating in a normal voice how to apply for these patents.
The voice comes from them.
If they have questions that they have to ask Li Yiming, they can also ask, and Li Yiming will naturally answer them.
"Li Sheng!" Bai Annie called out softly.
Li Yiming's head poked out from behind the computer monitor: "Something?"
"This is the material we just found, the ,...... in terms of publishing" Bai Annie walked over and put these materials next to Li Yiming.
The chocolate was placed on the table and smiled: "This...... Delicious......"
"Thank you,......" Li Yiming nodded.
Bai Annie didn't know what he was thanking for, maybe it was information, maybe it was connected to the chocolate, but she didn't seem to look at the exquisite packaging.
"Have you read all the books?"
Anne White snorted.
"How does it feel?"
"A little less. Bai Annie bent down slightly and approached Li Yiming, "When will the second volume of the Doro Orld come out?"
Li Yiming looked at the information and said casually: "Next month." ”
"How many volumes are there?"
"I don't know about this,...... Li Yiming smiled imperceptibly, thinking to himself that I will write the first 300,000 words of this thing, and then organize others to write it, as for how many volumes to write, then who knows, as long as someone buys it, it may never be finished.
Anne straightened up, a little disappointed.
Suddenly remembering something again, she asked softly, "Li Sheng, do you have a copyright law?"
"Oh, in my office, you go get it yourself, on the shelf. ”
Li Yiming finished reading the information, handed it to his father casually, and asked him to take a look at it too, and practice English by the way, these will definitely be brought back.
I don't know how much it will cost to collect this kind of information in China, but it is all readily available here, no less than earning foreign exchange itself.
Li Jianguo took the paper and glanced at Bai Annie, he didn't know what this woman was doing so close to her son, and she was still holding a bag of colorful candy, but fortunately, her son was very determined to be revolutionary - never early love!
“......”
Sure enough, when did he go to Li Sheng's office to get it?
Bai Annie was a little scared of the young man in front of her.
Bai Annie's eyes swept over the table, and there were ten more bags, thinking they were new books.
"Do you want me to take these?"
"No, these are for patents. Li Yiming said.
Bai Annie was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the artwork that the lawyers were looking at was a product drawing.
secretly glanced at Li Yiming's hands, and he didn't know how these hands that looked very delicate could have such great ability.
"By the way, Li Sheng said do you want to take a break and go to his office. Anne Bai relayed Li Guobao's words.
Li Yiming stretched his hands, which was actually a little sour, and he was also challenging his extreme hand speed just now.
His one-handed speed is already dozens of times faster than ordinary people, and with the fact that he writes with both hands, this is twice as efficient.
A few lines of words were written on each sheet of paper and some strange symbols were drawn, and then the tail finger swept out of the pile of paper to free up the next white page.
Each book is 20,000 words, with the layout and those broken pictures, and the real time it takes to fall on the paper is no more than six minutes.
But then, he took a break while playing the keyboard, and the extreme challenge of this kind of thing, the burden of different muscle fibers is also different, and each has to have a degree, and if it exceeds too much, it will cause an accident, but it is not good to exercise unevenly.
"Let's go!"
Li Yiming had to go and talk to Li Guobao about the sale of these books, and in half an hour, he would have to meet with the people in the factory.
