Chapter 23 Times Literature Publishing House

The next day, Li Chengzhi went to the relevant units in Taiwan to learn about the conditions for running a newspaper. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info however, it gave him a blow to the head!

At present, Taiwan is in a period of martial law, and the newspaper ban has been implemented, and Taiwan's newspaper industry has maintained a situation of only 31 newspapers. Among them, there are 15 newspapers directly run by the party, government, and military; among the 16 privately-run newspapers, most of them are run by people close to the ruling party, but the right to run the newspapers is completely manipulated by the party, government, and military.

Of course, the news that Li Chengzhi heard was not all bad news, Taiwan Book Publishing House adopts the Western social system, the threshold is very low, and it is easy to register a publishing house company!

After Li Chengzhi returned home, he told Li Zetian what he had heard.

When Li Zetian heard this, he was suddenly shocked, and in his impression, Taiwan allowed private newspapers to be set up, but now that he thinks about it, it should be after Taiwan lifts the ban on newspapers.

In fact, the ban will not be lifted until 1977!

The reason why Li Zetian first thought of establishing a newspaper instead of a book publishing house was because the newspaper was a mouthpiece and had great influence. With "Ming Pao", Jin Yong not only made him a rich man in Hong Kong, but also a very influential figure in the Hong Kong government!

Forget it, the rice has to be eaten bite by bite, and the road has to be walked step by step!

After the ban on newspapers is lifted in Taiwan, let's set up a newspaper office!

It's also good to set up a publishing house now!

As a Chinese who loves the motherland, he wants to have a newspaper in Taiwan that can uphold the public instrument, uphold the stance of press freedom, and maintain detachment, independence, and non-party affiliation!!

"Dad, then let's set up a publishing house! Instead of giving the money to other publishing houses to make money, it is better for us to make it ourselves! I believe that I will write more and more new books in the future, and our publishing house will not worry about running out of good works! When we have abundant funds, we can also sign contracts with other writers!!

"Well, that's all there is to it!"

The start-up capital of the publishing house is sufficient, "The Dedication of Suspect X" made Li Zetian earn more than 30,000 US dollars, and "White Night Walking" made Li Zetian earn more, reaching 95,000 US dollars, in addition, he worked for DEC company, salary plus bonus of 35,000 US dollars, Xu Guanjie's new album was released at the beginning of this year, and then quickly became popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, bringing Li Zetian nearly 40,000 US dollars in royalty income. So, he's now worth a total of $200,000. According to the exchange rate of 1:40 between the US dollar and the Taiwan dollar, there is 8 million Taiwan dollars, which is also a huge amount of money in Taiwan.

In addition, Li Zetian's parents naturally made some money while working in Taiwan, especially Li Chengzhi, who served as the head of "Life" magazine, and his salary and performance bonuses were not bad, totaling 25,000 US dollars, or 1 million Taiwan dollars.

Li Zetian decided to give $100,000 to his father to start a business in Taiwan, while he left $100,000 for himself to start a business in the United States!

The next morning, Li Chengzhi officially submitted his resignation and prepared to start his own entrepreneurial road. Even if Life magazine is not sold, but his uncle is gone, he is reluctant to work for Li Yuan and Li Jian. Coupled with Li Zetian's encouragement, he strengthened his determination to stand on his own!

When I heard that Life magazine was going to be bought by another large magazine, people in the company were panicking. The key is that he also took away the resources of the Mr.li, and "Life" magazine may be reduced to the second-rate magazine again.

Then a dramatic scene happened, the company that was originally going to buy "Life" magazine at a high price heard that Li Chengzhi had resigned, and immediately cut the purchase price in half!

After Li Yuan and Li Jian got the news, they almost vomited blood.

The people the two of them looked down on on weekdays slapped them in the face and made them suffer heavy losses!

However, what is more serious is that the "Life" magazine has resigned one after another, and they have jumped to a publishing house called "Times Literature" registered by Li Chengzhi in Taipei!

Talent is gone, and the rate at which Life magazine is declining is staggering.

The company that said it was going to buy Life magazine immediately changed its tune and said that it would give up the acquisition of Life magazine!

Although the Times Literature Publishing House has just been established, although it is small, it has all kinds of organs, including an art editorial department, a publishing department, a finance department, a distribution department, a proofreading department, a review room, a finance department, and an administrative office. This was completely beyond Li Zetian's expectations, he never expected that so many people would be willing to follow his father to start a business together, but one more person would have one more mouth, and the financial pressure would be quite large. Li Chengzhi is a sincere and sympathetic person, others are unemployed, and they have come to take refuge in him, no matter what, he must take them in. Li Zetian thought about it for a while, and decided to use the copyrights of "The Devotion of Suspect X" and "White Night Walking" as collateral and borrow money from the bank in order to pay the salaries of the employees! Fortunately, they also knew that this was a start-up and the salary requirements were not high, and after Li Chengzhi promised them that everyone would have stock options after the development of the Times Literature Publishing House, they would feel at ease and be more motivated to work.

At present, the main task of the Times Literature Publishing House in the first stage is to publish two books written by Li Zetian, "The Dedication of Suspect X" and "White Night Walking"! Of course, it would be even better if the works of well-known writers could be contracted.

Due to lack of funds and unable to print a large number of books, Li Zetian suggested that his father use the trick of empty gloves and white wolves!

First, take the money from the channel provider first, and then ship the goods.

Second, let the printing house print the books first and then give the money.

It is true that not every channel dealer and printing house is willing to do this, and some even rely on their own "channel is king", and even require that the goods be shipped first, and then give money when the books are sold. However, there are always some discerning channel dealers and printers who are optimistic about "The Dedication of Suspect X" and "White Night Walking", and they are willing to do what Li Zetian said. Next, on the one hand, I took the contract signed with the printing house to go to the channel dealer, and when the channel dealer saw the contract, he naturally had more confidence in the "Times Literature Publishing House", so that more channel dealers were willing to pay first; on the other hand, I took the contract signed with the channel dealer to go to the printing house, and the printing house looked at the contract and thought, since you have even found a way to sell, the printed books will not have to worry about having no place to sell, even if you pay later!

Under this virtuous circle, Times Literature Publishing House can complete the large-scale publication of books without spending too much money!!

Li Zetian is just talking about it, and everything is actually carried out by Li Chengzhi with the team.

At this moment, Li Zetian took advantage of the fact that the vacation had not yet arrived, so he simply prepared a new book at home.

The more popular novels in this era are martial arts novels, and a large number of famous martial arts novelists have emerged, among them, Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Liang Yusheng are known as the three great masters of Chinese martial arts novels, and are known as the founding fathers of new martial arts novels.

Li Zetian also wants to be a mountain patriarch.

As soon as "Zhu Xian" comes out, who will compete with it!!

That's right, this time he is going to write Xiao Dingda's "Zhu Xian" and create a fantasy novel in the Xianxia genre! As soon as this book was published in Taiwan, it soared to the top bestseller list in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and with its unbridled imagination and majestic narrative, it quickly became the pinnacle of Chinese fantasy literature and became famous overseas. It is the only martial arts novel in the "Three Strange Books on the Internet" and "Ethereal Journey" and "The Legend of Little Soldiers", and is regarded as a classic novel of the same level as the works of Jin Yong, Gu Long, and the owner of Huanzhu Mansion on the Internet.

However, Xiao Ding himself has said that there are many regrets in this book, including the description of the characters, the handling of the story, etc.

Li Zetian rewrote "Zhu Xian" this time, and strives to create a more perfect "Zhu Xian"!

To this end, Li Zetian retreated for three days and three nights, and wrote a 50,000-word outline!!
