In Zhongwan Village, there is an old family area on the east side of Haidian Street.

This was originally the resettlement site of the Handa teachers' apartments, and the professors slowly moved there after the Han University built several new teachers' apartments on Yiheyuan Road, with good facilities and close to the school.

Leaving an empty building.

The gray walls of the five- or six-storey bungalow were somewhat blackened, and the surrounding vines were crawling all over the walls, almost overwhelmed by plants.

The house is old and the environment is peaceful.

On the railing on the second floor of the bungalow hangs a sign more than two meters long for the headquarters of the book club

Last year, "Running to Dinosaur Island" and the small album were big sellers, and they made a small profit, and the shotgun was changed and moved here from the campus of Han University.

Now it is no longer the original three-melon and two-jujube grass platform.

It is a regular book company with an editorial department, a design department, a marketing department, and two accountants.

There are more than 10 full-time employees and hundreds of part-time employees.

A thriving scene.

At noon, Gu Meng drove over, found Vice President Li Guoqiang and General Manager Liu Fucai, and had a small meeting.

"Brother Qiang, Lao Liu, I will go to Yinzhou the day after tomorrow, and the things in the book club will be entrusted to the two of you."

Li Guoqiang sneered, "It's as if you don't have to worry about us if you're here, you ask yourself, as the president, have you been in charge of the affairs of the club from last year to now?"

Gu Meng was a little embarrassed, he had to go to school, train, buy a house, record albums, copy books, and he had no time to manage at all.

He spread his hands, "I didn't want to be the president at the beginning, you two wanted me to be, and now you are complaining, or should I take the blame and resign?"

"The beauty you think!"

Li Guoqiang scolded with a smile: "You are the major shareholder, who should you be the president?"

In the first half of the year, the country's economic structure was relaxed, and the state allowed some enterprises that did not affect the market order to get out of their physical condition and assume responsibility for their own profits and losses.

It took the lead in responding to the call of the state and redeemed half of the shares from Handa Publishing House, becoming a joint-stock private enterprise.

Gu Meng's money accounted for 60, Li Guoqiang and Liu Fucai each accounted for 15, and 10% was distributed by the directors and deputy directors of several departments.

Gu Meng pondered for a moment and joked: "You guys have money now, why don't I sell some of the shares to the two of you?"

"I can't afford it!"

Li Guoqiang said lightly, now the total assets are about one million, and he can still afford some shares, but he can't miss Gu Meng, he can write books and be famous, what is it without him?

"Gu Meng, you can be the president with peace of mind, you are steadfast in our hearts. ”

Liu Fucai held the teacup and smiled, he was wearing a white shirt, tied in his trousers, his stomach was thickened, the belt was tightened, and the whole person's face was also in the direction of the fat head and big ears.

Gu Meng shook his head, "You two want to keep me here again, and you dislike me for not working, it's really hard for me." ”

"Haha!"

After a few jokes, Gu Meng talked to the two about the book club again.

Since last year, the main products of the book club have been "Running to Dinosaur Island" and small picture albums.

One million copies were sold in one year.

The fourth volume of the album "Dinosaur Island" has been published in six volumes, and more than 800,000 copies have been sold.

The market response has been overwhelming.

In addition to the high readability of the small album, it has a lot to do with Gu Meng's influence.

Asian Games, Spring Festival Gala, records, movies... Gu Meng's influence in China is growing.

There is no need to fight anything, people have paid money for the author Gu Meng.

This is also the secondary reason why Li Guoqiang and Liu Fucai want to keep Gu Meng.

The main reason is that Gu Meng can write books.

In addition to Dinosaur Island, he wrote another "Little Mage" last year, which is also a model for adding a small album.

At first, Li Guoqiang and Liu Fucai were not very optimistic about "Little Mage", but Gu Meng is the president, can his book not be distributed?

Who would have expected that after it was put on the shelves, "Little Mage" would be a big hit, and the momentum was better than that of Dinosaur Island.

After Gu Meng went to the Spring Festival Gala and performed a trick of 'Qibo Gong', the little mage sold it out directly, and the printing house that cooperated with the book club couldn't be busy at all.

In half a year, the genuine "Little Mage" sold 2 million copies, and the small picture album exceeded 1 million copies.

Another big profit.

"Gu Meng, you came just in time, we have a lot of things to discuss with you. ”

"A lot?"

"The first one!"

Li Guoqiang raised his finger, "We plan to buy this building"

Gu Meng raised his eyebrows, he already had this idea.

It is bordered by the Han University and the Fourth Ring Road Interchange to the north, Zhongwan Village Science and Technology Park to the east, and a large number of universities in the surrounding area.

The Future Book Building is exactly at this location.

"How much do you want me to pay?"

Li Guoqiang smiled mysteriously, "Lao Liu, show our president the financial statements of the last quarter, and ask him to sign by the way." ”

"Good!"

This was Liu Fucai's office, and he quickly found the documents.

Gu Meng took the financial statement and looked at it, and said in surprise: "In the first half of the year, a total of 1.28 million was profitable?"

"Haha, isn't that surprised?"

Li Guoqiang said disdainfully, "Is it a shame that a big president worth millions of dollars went to film?"

Gu Meng doesn't feel ashamed at all, making money is fun, acting is also fun, it's the same.

He smiled, "I'm filming to open up popularity, and when I become famous, the sales of the book will naturally increase, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Li Guoqiang thought about it, and this is really the truth.

Liu Fucai smiled, "Gu Meng, no matter what you do, I will be unconditional"

Gu Meng smiled slightly, "Is this building for sale, what is the price?"

"Sell!"

This building was originally an asset of the school, and Han University wanted to build a new apartment, so it mortgaged all the community to the bank, and when the loan was not repaid, the community was in the hands of the bank.

This old building is five stories high, covers an area of more than 500 yuan, and is sold for 800,000 yuan with land.

"Bought it!"

Gu Meng clapped his hands and made a decision, he walked out of the office and stood on the railing to look down, and said to the two people who came out with him, "Is the small park in front of the small building selling?"

Li Guoqiang looked at Liu Fucai, this matter was talked about by Liu Fucai.

Liu Fucai thought for a while, "On the bank's atlas, the small park in front can be sold as a package, and the price is about 400,000 yuan."

Four hundred thousand?

Gu Mengda only looked at it, there are about more than 800 square meters, and the price of a square meter is about 500, here is the fourth ring, and the price is about the same.

"Bought it!"

Gu Meng looked at the sky and said leisurely, "Those old comrades in our editorial department and design department, sitting all day long, are not good for their health, this place is reserved for them to walk." ”

"Ha, spend 140,000 yuan to buy it for a walk?"

Li Guoqiang disagreed.

"As I said, buying a house is the first thing, and the second thing is costly. ”

"Say!"

Our family is not short of money.

"The state began to unburden this year and released a number of enterprises with poor efficiency, including the Red Star Printing Factory that cooperated with us, and we discussed it and planned to take it down, about 500,000 yuan."

The printing house is in Tongzhou, a township enterprise model.

"Then buy it too!"

Li Guoqiang tugged at the corners of his mouth, "If you want money, big brother, do you pay for it?"

Gu Meng shook his head, he took out more money, and he had to divide the shares again, which was easy to discourage the enthusiasm of the two.

"I don't pay this time, we can take out a loan, I'll write you an address later, you go to him, it's easy to get a loan." ”

"Gu Meng, isn't it okay for Yin to eat grain?" Liu Fucai hesitated.

Gu Meng smiled calmly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little comrade, we are about to enter a new era, and only enterprises backed by banks can become bigger and stronger."

After entering the house, Gu Meng listened to the two of them report the third thing.

The film "Paradise Lost" received a very good response, and the editorial department plans to use his script as a prototype and publish the same name.

Gu Meng originally planned to do this, "Let the old comrades in the editorial department write it first, but wait until the end of the year to publish"

"Why?"

"Don't you pay attention to the news in the entertainment industry? The Golden Rooster Award shortlist has come out, and "Paradise Lost" has a total of five nominations, including Best Screenwriter. ”

Li Guoqiang and Liu Fucai were stunned for a moment, good news.

"Congratulations, screenwriter Gu!"

"Congratulations to Gu Meng!"

Gu Meng waved his hand calmly, "Don't be a sycophant, what's the fourth thing?"

"The fourth thing is my private matter. ”

Li Guoqiang is a senior this year, and he is about to face graduation assignment, as the vice president of the student union, the central government has extended an olive branch to him, and he is being treated at the department level.

He made a lot of money, and he couldn't look down on the position of forty-eight yuan a month.

Hearing the name of that unit, Gu Meng was a little jealous, super iron rice bowl.

"Brother Qiang, you said that in Huaxia, is power or money important?"

"Right!"

"That's right!"

Money is a bastard, and right is the bastard who gave birth to that bastard.

"Brother Qiang, my suggestion is, you go to experience it first, experience it, and continue to do it when you do it well, and I will wait for you to meet me in the future. ”

"Hahaha! I'll see it!" Li Guoqiang was a little proud.

Gu Meng shook his head and smiled, in fact, he was not optimistic about Li Guoqiang's prospects in the system.

Li Guoqiang is an atmospheric, righteous person, and he is very good as a friend, but he is too impatient and straight, and he has a big mouth, which is not suitable for the atmosphere of the system.

Li Guoqiang laughed a few times and asked, "What should I do?"

"Recruit!"

Gu Meng waved his hand, "In the future, the system will be restructured, and some professionals will be recruited to manage the company, let's set up a board of directors to supervise, at present, Lao Liu is in charge first, Brother Qiang and I are also in the capital, you can come over and have a look when you are free, does Lao Liu have a problem?"

Liu Fucai shook his head, "I have no problem, by the way, Li Hongyan, whom Gu Meng introduced last time, performed well in the marketing department, so he can be promoted." ”

"Okay!"

Gu Meng smiled and took out a few pieces of manuscript paper from his purse, "After talking about your affairs, I also have one thing." ”

"New?"

Li Guoqiang and Liu Fucai were pleasantly surprised.

"It's not!"

"The Little Mage" is selling well in China, and he plans to start translating it from Chinese to English.

He provided a general framework and asked professional English talents to rewrite a "Little Magician" according to the ideas of the little mage, mainly for foreign countries.

"Is this possible?"

Li Guoqiang was a little skeptical.

Although Gu Meng bought both copies well, in the literati circle, his reputation is very bad, and the literati have always thought that his writing is average, and his thoughts are too simple, which is not a real literary work, and it is not even popular literature.

Therefore, until now, no Federation of Literary and Art Circles has sent an invitation to Gu Meng, which is a manifestation of contempt for him.

Now Gu Meng wants to sell it abroad, can he do it?

"Remove the word for me!"

Gu Meng clicked on the "Little Magician" frame manuscript paper and said, "I personally contributed 200,000 yuan, you help me find someone to translate, if it's good, there will be a prize, and if it's not good, continue to find someone to translate."

"Or is it funded by the book club?" Li Guoqiang said.

"I'll pay for it personally!"

Gu Meng is worried that he will encounter copyright disputes in the future, if this film sells well, the future film copyright and its ancillary value can be bought.

After the three of them finished the meeting, when they were about to leave, Liu Fucai hesitated for a moment and said, "Gu Meng, Xiao Anzi has been on hunger strike for two days, can you go back and see him?"

"What?"
