I didn't want to publish the book so early, but I planned to drag it out until the computer special effects technology matured and the movie was released. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But Bennett Klopf, the chairman of Random House, never thought so, as a businessman, he made several phone calls to Han Xuan, wanting to release the third part directly while the iron was hot, and the five-month interval was enough to arouse the interest of readers without making them impatient.

Han Xuan considered two days to accede to his request, and Bennett Klopf was willing to pay the price for it - the third "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" rose to 24% in the United States, and 3% in other countries.

Both sides were happy, Random House had a promising new star, and Han Xuan received a large income.

The way of thinking of the higher-ups has always been different from that of ordinary people, ordinary people are still worried about trivial things, and they are thinking about how to control the development of the world in the corner.

For example, the old man said a sentence at the dinner table, which made his grandson's good mood in the morning instantly fall to the bottom: "Since you know that these books can make money, why don't you buy a publishing house and start it yourself, I have a channel, and the thousands of branches in the future will ......."

The publishing industry is a well-known thing, and if you know a little about this industry, you should understand that its monopoly has led to excessive profits, and secondary wholesalers and retailers in the middle of sales have also made high profits on books.

Printing and paper costs account for 23 to 25 percent of the total price of a book, which means that a $20 book costs less than $5 from the printer.

Nowadays, the remuneration of authors is 12.5 percent, and the profit of the publishing house is generally 10 percent.

Random House has its own publishing houses and channels, all over the streets of the United States, large and small newsstands.

Han Xuan had juice in his mouth, and he didn't swallow it for a long time, losing his mind and sulking.

No wonder Random House was willing to give up such a high profit, originally thought that it was quite good to earn more than 100 million dollars, and was ready to show off to the two elders, but when I remembered that I had "worked hard" to write a book, those people sat back and enjoyed the success, and got several times more profits than themselves, and their hearts were suddenly unbalanced.

"Let's do it, let's release the third part, just give me time to prepare, don't you have to trouble setting up a printing company?"

"It's not troublesome, this line has long been finalized, the technology is very mature, and if you are afraid of trouble, you will buy a ready-made printing company, and it won't cost much. ”

Han Xuan glanced at his grandfather when he heard this, thinking that he was still not proud enough, and looked at the two elders, buying and buying in the left sentence.

said in his mouth: "Wait a minute, let people help me pay attention, there are domestic channels, and foreign ones will discuss with Random House again, and increase the share in the name of the company, a total of seven copies, tell me as soon as possible, and hundreds of millions of dollars will not be given away in vain." ”

"You still have the face to blame us? The skin is so thick, who knew that a book could be so popular, it hasn't appeared for many years. Han Laozi said, glanced at his watch, and beckoned someone to clean up the table: "I'm going to work, the auction will be held tomorrow, and there are still things to do, what are you doing later?"

"I went out on the street to see how my books were selling, and I didn't care. ”

Han Xuan said with a smile: "This shows that the tertiary industry is indeed developing rapidly, how about I sell the book to your company to make a movie in a few years, don't need money, and take a share of the box office." ”

"If I give you a fart, I will infringe on your intellectual property rights, what can you do to me?" Guo Muzhou scolded with a smile and continued to speak: "It's true that Dimen Pictures has been lacking scripts recently, and good scripts are too difficult to find." ”

"You find some for me, I'll help you choose, I've been writing a book for so long, and I still know a little bit about this text. Han Xuan pointed to his head and said narcissistically.

Guo Muzhou hummed and said, "It's nothing to do later, I'll accompany you?"

"Okay, just go to the headquarters of Random House and get those remuneration back, my CEO of Snow Mountain Investment Company is going to Trump Corporation today to sign a contract, I don't have enough money on the books, I will make up $160 million, and call Mr. Donald in a few days. ”

"You really don't stop, it's all long-term investment, see what if you run out of money, it's not enough to rely on that bit of remuneration. ”

"Isn't there no way, I also want to rob the mint to get money.

During this period, there are many opportunities, and the money in the bank is constantly depreciating due to inflation, and after a while, these companies will be able to generate profits.

Like Blizzard Entertainment, the Warcraft game has been fully produced, and the game development does not require much capital, but it is very profitable. ”

"I guess making some money isn't enough for your game company's daily expenses. ”

"No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, and in my opinion, this game alone can recoup the two million dollars I invested, and it will be available in September, you wait and see. ”

Han Xuan said, seeing his grandfather change his clothes and preparing to go out, he shook his hand and said goodbye.

"Let's go too, let's go and change our clothes, it's rude to see people like this. Guo Muzhou stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

Han Xuan walked to the door and said hello to Owen, but went back upstairs to make a call on his mobile phone, and waited by the car in the yard.

A few minutes later, two Audi A8s slowly drove out of the iron gate and merged into the traffic on the street.

Gabriel, who had a little cold and sat in another car, driven by Rice, asked, "Where are we going now?"

"Over there in Washington Square, Random House's New York headquarters, down Broadway Avenue, I remember there were a lot of newsstands. Han Xuan looked out the window and replied.

"Talk to Jobs, and I'll go to him when I get back to California. ”

Hearing his grandfather's words, Han Xuan spoke: "What?

Guo Muzhou couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Of course not, Pixar Animation Studios, he promised to sell it." ”

"Really??"

"I don't want money, I want shares in Apple, it seems that Jobs is not dead set on it, let me buy 4% of Apple's shares and exchange it with him.

Apple is now worth almost $3.1 billion, millions of dollars cheaper, and hopes that the acquisition will not cause the stock price to rise, otherwise it will lose money. ”

"I'd rather you give him money, Apple is a mess now, people want someone to buy it, the more you collect, the more you sell, don't dare to raise the price for fear of scaring you away."

Is Jobs going to go back now? Apple shares were scattered, and in the mid-80s, after being swept away by Sculley, he sold all his Apple shares in a fit of rage, and when you give him 4% in his hands, he will be considered a major shareholder, right?"

"Yo yo yo, do you understand very well, and you say that it's not interesting to Apple? ”

Guo Muzhou turned around and knocked on Han Xuan's head after speaking: "Don't meddle now, Apple is different from other companies, its equity is too chaotic, there are a few Wall Street predators standing behind it, the management is chaotic, and it will not be beneficial to meddle indiscriminately." ”

"I wouldn't, at least not touch it for four years. ”

"Not in four years!" (To be continued.) )
