The third platter of Wang Bo's career is the four Internet cafΓ© chains of the "Time and Space Tribe". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info He has a 25.45% stake in it and is the largest shareholder.
The "Time and Space Tribe", which has stopped the pace of expansion, is now on the defensive, but this also means that the five shareholders do not need to invest, and all the monthly turnover can be divided except for one expense.
At present, four chain Internet cafes, a total of 150 machines, can bring nearly 300,000 net profits to five people every month, according to Wang Bo's shares, he can get more than 70,000 nearly 80,000 dividends.
Quite impressive!
I just don't know how long this windfall profit will last. With the gradual increase in the number of Internet cafes in Sifang, it is inevitable to reduce prices in order to compete for customers, and the unit profit will become lower and lower. And today's computers are updated very quickly, and a computer will not last for a few years.
But...... Whatever, if you can earn a few years and earn a few years, when you really can't make any money, you can find a way to do something else.
The fourth and latest platter of Wang Bo's career is the two studios managed by Cheng Wenjin:
Wang Zi'an Music Studio and Wang Zi'an Literature Studio
The literary studio is the simplest, he is just one employee, and there is only one book at the moment, not much to do.
However, although there is only one book, the book is really selling so well that it has set off round after round of sales frenzy in mainland China, and there have been several publishing houses and booksellers in several countries who have set their sights on his bestseller, and are currently discussing the issue of copyright agency with Cheng Wenjin.
At the forefront is a Hong Kong publishing house introduced by Hong Kong's little superman Li Kai. After preliminary contact, the two sides have signed a publishing contract, and the traditional version of "The Wandering Earth" will soon meet Chinese people in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and even the world through this powerful publisher. As for the royalties of the traditional Chinese version sold, there is a little superman's face and the book's sales in the mainland, which must be calculated according to the first-line writers. Wang Bo did not sign any one-time buyout price, but signed the royalty share directly like the Writers Publishing House. With the wide spread of Wang Bo Zi'an's "double masterpiece of books and songs", "a cross-field talent who is difficult to come out of a hundred years and a thousand years old", the sales must not be much worse.
Wang Bo is not in a hurry to translate his novel into other languages and promote it to the world, but just asks Cheng Wenjin to inquire more and learn more about the information of the partner, and those who are not strong will not cooperate. Moreover, for countries where Swedish and English are spoken, he has a request that he appoint the translator. Wang Bo studied English for more than ten years in his last life, majoring in English language and literature, and has read hundreds of Chinese and foreign classics, and understands very well that the translator plays a decisive role in the success or failure of an excellent novel translation.
Two examples:
The first, Mo Yan, the first Nobel laureate in the mainland.
Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize not because he was the best novelist in China β of course, he was first-class, but certainly not the bestββ, but because he had an excellent queen's translator, Ms. Chen Anna. This woman, whose full name is Anna Gustafsen, is a native Swede who has been immersed in Chinese for decades and is truly well-versed in both cultures, and is able to translate the essence of Chinese into another language to the greatest extent. And other writers of the same level as Mo Yan are not so lucky, and it is a waste to be translated by some second-knife translators to translate their works, even if the original work is excellent, the translator's level is not enough.
The second is Liu Chixin, Asia's first Hugo Award winner.
Liu Chixin won the Hugo Award thanks to his translator, Chinese American Yukun Liu (Ken/Liu). Liu Yukun immigrated to the United States with his parents at the age of 8, and since then he has received a bilingual education, and Chinese and English have been deeply rooted in his blood and bone marrow, and there is no problem in the conversion. What's even more commendable is that Liu Yukun is a writer himself, and his two short stories have won the Hugo Award twice. It is up to him to translate Liu Chixin's works, which is simply a combination of Chinese and Western, peerless and unique!
The results of the facts also proved Liu Yukun's excellence, and the first part of Liu Chixin's "Three-Body Problem" trilogy, "Once Upon a Time on Earth," which he translated, won the Hugo Award in one fell swoop, making it the first person in Asia to win the second prize! And "Once Upon a Time on Earth," which is more exciting, has a grander narrative, and has a larger brain, is more brilliant than the first "Once Upon a Time on Earth," because the translator is not Liu Yukun, but a pure American who is not very proficient in Chinese. The American is just a pure translator, not a writer, unlike Liu Yukun, who writes and translates, and his writing is not in place, so he fell to Sun Shan in the second year's selection, and he didn't touch a single hair. Wang Bo also went to read the readers' messages on Amazon at that time, and many foreigners reported that the second part of "Dark Forest" was obscure, and compared with the first part, it was like a different author. In the eyes of foreigners, "Once Upon a Time on Earth" translated by Ken/Liu has no traces of translation at all, and feels like it was written by an American writer, while the second "Dark Forest" is full of translation, jerky, and has no sense of fluency in reading.
What Nobel Prize for Literature Wang Bo doesn't dare to think, he doesn't think that Liu Chixin's "Three-Body Problem" is worse than those Nobel Prize-winning traditional novels, but purely because of the taste of the Nobel Prize judges, people pay more attention to humanistic care, more down-to-earth, and more "human words" based on the past and present, rather than science fiction that describes the future, the brain is open, and it is a few light years away at every turn, and the future is thousands of years.
However, Wang Bo, the "Nobel Prize in Literature" in science fiction literature, is determined to win! The Nobel Prize in Literature has been won several times by Asians, Indians, and Japanese, and Wang Bo, who was reborn once, will not win it, and if he wants to win it, he will win an award that all Asians have not won, and win glory for the Chinese and even the yellow race!
And to win the Hugo Award, Liu Yukun is indispensable, because this is something that has been proven by the experience of the previous life!
Several foreign publishers are currently talking to Wang Bo's studio, but nothing has come of it, either because they feel that Wang Bo's royalties are too high and demand that they be directly compared with first-class writers, or they are quite complaining about his strange requirements for appointing translators. Wang Bo didn't panic, and his instructions to Cheng Wenjin were to talk about it if he could, and if he couldn't talk about it, he was not short of money anyway. Let's take it slow and see who can survive whom. When he praised Fang You as a world-class singer, and he himself became a world-renowned songwriter with Fang You's singing, and the fame of "Books and Songs" spread all over the world, it would not be the price it is now.
Wang Bo's music studio was established at the latest, but now there are signs of catching up in several of his businesses, showing a thriving and promising scene.
After a period of investigation, Cheng Wenjin finally selected a company with strong strength and strong distribution capabilities in the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, including the queen Wang Fei, and in the future, he will also include the legendary singer-songwriter Zhou Lunji's "Sony Records" as his partner, and work with the other party to create an EP disc for the new dark horse Fang You in the music industry.
The record company's suggestion is for them to find a songwriter to make a few more tunes for Fang You, plus her famous song "Meet", to make a real album, not an EP with only a few songs.
But when this plan was fed back to Wang Bo, it was vetoed by Wang Bo. Wang Bo then picked up three songs suitable for Fang You in his lyrics book and threw them to Cheng Wenjin, one is the ready-made song "Announce I Love You to the World" that he once "wrote" Liang Ya, and the other two are "Courage" and "It's a pity not you" by Malaysian diva Liang Jingru who he also likes very much, and he often sang in KTV songs in his previous life.
Cheng Wenjin took the three songs handed to her by Wang Bo, especially "Courage" and "It's a pity it's not you", just glanced at the lyrics and scores, her face was instantly moved, and her hands trembled a little and said: "Xiaobo, these two songs are also ...... You wrote it too?"
"Sister Wen Jin, if you haven't seen these two songs on the market, then I should have written them. Wang Bo smiled and said something ambiguous.
Cheng Wenjin looked at the two songs in his hand with a complicated expression, smiled bitterly, looked up at Wang Bo, and muttered: "Xiao Bo, I'm really a little jealous of Fang You." It would be nice if you were born more than ten years early, or your aunt was born more than ten years later......"
Wang Bo stared at Cheng Wenjin's face, and blurted out without thinking: "Sister, if you want to sing, these two songs will not be given to Fang You, you can sing them." Depending on your conditions, it is easy to become popular. β
Wang Bo's words made Cheng Wenjin's face flash with a bright light, shining with a shining brilliance, but this brilliance only shone for a while, and then disappeared in a flash. Cheng Wenjin looked at Wang Bo and said with a smile, "Xiaobo, I'm not afraid of you laughing, when you said that just now, there was a moment when I was really a little moved." My aunt's biggest dream when she was a child was to be a big singer. If you were born ten or twenty years early, let your aunt meet you when you were in college, and your aunt is likely to take the initiative to pursue you......!
Although he knew that this was just Cheng Wenjin's joke, it still made Wang Bo feel sweeter than eating a jar of honey, and his heart was immediately complacent, his self-confidence burst, and he said with a smile: "Sister, if I had been born twenty years earlier, I would definitely fall under your pomegranate skirt like countless people who admire you." β
Cheng Wenjin saw that the topic between the two was getting more and more crooked, and after saying a few more words, he turned to the topic: "Okay, don't talk to you little ghost." Xiao Bo, "Meet", "Announce to the World I Love You", "Courage" and "It's a pity it's not you" These four songs can be used as the title song of an album, all concentrated in one EP, isn't it...... What a waste?"
"It's okay, sister. My positioning for Fang You is to only sing high-quality products, not saliva songs. This is Fang You's first time releasing a disc, so let the global Chinese see the strength and sincerity of our studio. Fang You's play butterfly, if you don't do it, you won't do it, and you have to do your best!" Wang Bo clenched his fists and waved it vigorously into the air, saying sonorously and powerfully.
