Miwu smiled and said, "15 million is fine." Du Xiao bought a house and still had to support his family, so he was not so free financially, but I think if he really fought hard, he could still get a few million. As for me, I have sold 6 copyrights in the past four years, the lowest one is 300,000 yuan, and the highest one, I still took me to talk about it last month, 6 million. How much can I spend on my own? But I threw all the money in the fund. Just get it out. ”

Lian Xingjie was surprised: "I don't think you're a money-saver." ......"

"Let's see how you spend it. Miwu said: "I'm just alone, and when I go out, I only have a few sets of clothes and a few bags." It really doesn't cost much. She had no intention of explaining her lifestyle, and she had no problem with her daily life just by writing a column for magazines.

"If there is no such thing, what are you going to do?" Of course, there is no reason for Lianxingjie to refuse such a good thing. Miwu holds 5%, coupled with the purchase of Qiu Dacheng and Feng Youshan, which is enough to completely offset the pressure of investors to release their shares, and Ming Qian can also stand still. But what he needs to confirm is what Miwu wants to do.

"Who wouldn't want to take their fate into their own hands. Mi Wu said with a smile: "After I published my first book, I thought that I would get a publishing house or a publishing company in the future, or at least become a shareholder, but I was tossed by stupid editors." Newcomer, I admit it. Later, especially in the past few years, traditional publishing has fallen sharply, and I have hesitated. Even if I don't have that, I'll probably talk to you about it in a few months, or even half a year. I like the business strategy of Ming Qian. ”

The business strategy of Ming Qian is very simple: serve good authors, stabilize editors, concentrate on doing good content, and combine marketing and promotion with the situation of the big market, and professionally package and promote. Only when you reach the director or above, you need to consider the whole situation, and sometimes adjust your business situation for the goals of other departments. But in each department, the degree of freedom is quite high. For example, Miwu, she has been working with an editor in front of the Ming Dynasty for about six or seven years, and both of them are very willful, but they can always run in, and the quality and sales of their works are very good. Whether it's an editor or Ah Yue, who is the text director, he will talk about the market with Miwu in daily communication, but when it's really time to create, he only talks about the book itself, and will never say anything like that you can't sell it if you write like this. Ming Qian company, there are several authors whose sales and starting print numbers are only 5000 to 8000, but because of the good quality of the works, although the niche Ming Qian does not dislike low profits, as long as it does not lose money, it is still a local one.

And now in the past few years, Ming Qian is almost one of the most distinctive companies in copyright marketing. All the copyrights sold before the Ming Dynasty have reached a good agreement with the film and television or game companies, everyone communicates smoothly, and the quality of the transformed works is also quite good. The so-called content industry chain, Ming Qian even wanted to take it a step further, acquiring a number of comic and illustration studios to internalize this aspect of the business.

What's even more peculiar is that the relationship between Ming Qian and various content website platforms is very good. Online, the cooperation with the website does not exactly depend on the amount of money, but reflects the brand of Ming Qian and the author's brand on various serial chapter pages, and pays great attention to the sales data from the website platform to Ming Qian.

Now, readers have a very strong impression that there may be books in front of the Ming Dynasty that do not match their tastes, but there are no poor quality. If an author can sign a long-term contract with Ming Qian, it is a guarantee in itself.

"I've thought about bringing authors into the company's content decision-making process before, but ...... It seems that everyone is not very interested. Lian Xingjie smiled and said, "Okay, I'll push to help you collect the shares." Then, let's talk about what lies ahead. ”

"You signed a long-term contract with Xiao Yue, right?" Mi Wu said, "Ah Yue mentioned it to me last time. ”

"Yes. Three years. Lian Xingjie looked at Yue Qingyan and said, "What? Do you want Xiao Yue to join the shares now?"

"You're against that?" Mi Wu asked.

"Of course not. Xiao Yue's talent and the ability he is showing now can be seen by everyone. To be honest, Miwu, your book is not to my liking, I personally think Xiaoyue writes better than you. "Lian Xingjie put on an attitude that I am my own person who said this to you.

"I'm. Mi Wu pretended to be angry: "But this, I really don't have anything to say." In the short story, I'm a lot worse than him. Even if it's writing romance, it's better than me. But, after all, it's not a long story yet, and I can still withstand it. The three-year contract is a bit short, and I am very optimistic about Xiaoyue's future. ”

"Xiaoyue, take some money out and give you the same shares. Today's table is full of my own people, so I opened it up. After a few months, as long as I have 51% of my own hands, if I take the rest by myself, it is better not to have it. "Lianxingjie is not nonsense, in fact, he has long had this thought. The current cultural company publishing company has gradually transformed from the original life of publishing to a comprehensive operation, with copyright as the core of the operation and profit, and the appeal of the core author is more important than ever before. It would be great if the author could be bound by equity. The operation of a cultural company, so that it looks very much like a law firm, the business model will change a lot.

However, this was a crucial opportunity for change before the Ming Dynasty. For now, if you can bind an appealing author like Miwu, it will be good news first. Then, it is Yue Qingyan who is growing up. Indeed, as Mi Wu said, Yue Qingyan's writing skills have been proven through several short stories. But short stories and light novels do not sell money after all, and lack the possibility of systematic development of commercial value. But looking at Yue Qingyan's stylistic control ability, writing long stories is more a matter of type and subject matter than ability. In the long run, signing Yue Qingyan in advance and cultivating it may indeed be a more crucial point.

However, Yue Qingyan has no money.

"I don't have any money. Yue Qingyan spread his hands very frankly and said.

"I can come up with 4 million. After thinking about it for a long time, Du Xiao said: "Indeed, the family has a heavy burden, and I don't dare to smash it all at once." ”

Lian Xingjie smiled and said, "It's not a lot." ”

Xu Yingying followed and said, "I can't take it out, but I just ask my parents if they want it." I'm going to have 5% too. I'll go back and say, when will the boss be able to contact and talk at any time. ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and they were speechless about this kind of rich lady in the family. Indeed, the person present may be the least bad money is this Xu Yingying.

"I would like to contribute money, but with my current relationship with Yue Qingyan, hmm...... This feeling is more subtle. Mo Ersheng suddenly interjected and said: "I'll want 1% myself, I'm afraid of interfering with you." 1% For me, it's okay to ask my parents if they want it. However, I have an idea that can probably help Yue Qingyan. ”

Being able to sit at a table and eat, everyone still has a good impression of the girls Yue Qingyan brought with them, because Yue Qingyan is generally a very reliable person. So, adding such a shareholder may not be a bad thing? But even if she is Yue Qingyan's girlfriend, she really can't guarantee that there will be no problems in the long-term relationship, Mo Ersheng said it directly, but it seemed frank.

"Oh, what's the idea?" Xu Yingying was interested in this little girl who seemed to belong to Bai Fumei.

"I haven't asked Lao Yue, I don't know how your contract was signed. Royalties, though, right?"

"Yes. Of course. There are also other copyright collaborations. ”

Then, take 6% of the royalty and set up a special account for the excess part. If you have signed a contract with Lao Yue for three years, then it will be calculated according to three years. Except for the basic 6% royalty, all of them are deposited in a special account and retained as supplementary profits of the company. The company always needs more cash flow, right? If the accumulated income of three years can reach 15 million, then 5% of the shares will be given. If it is not reached, all the funds in this special account will be given to Lao Yue in a lump sum after 3 years, and no interest will be paid. If this account reaches 15 million in income, then the clause of 5% of the company's shares is activated. What do you think?"

"In three years, more than 6% of the royalty income and copyright sales revenue, etc., add up to more than 15 million?" Lian Xingjie was stunned for a moment: "You know...... Does that mean how much revenue will he bring to the company?"

"I still have a good idea. Mo Ersheng said a little shyly: "But Lao Yue is fine." ”

Yue Qingyan didn't have a concept in his mind, so he was silently calculating there. Then he reacted all at once: "Wait, this...... Xiao Mo, this is a bit scary. ”

"It's a little bit, which means that if there is not enough amount of relatively large copyright income, the total sales volume will probably be 20 million copies just by relying on the publication and distribution of books. Lian Xingjie sighed: "Lao Yue, your girl has really enough confidence in you." ”

If Lian Xingjie didn't say it, these people who had no concept of numbers present were still mentally arithmetic, but as soon as he said this, everyone was not calm. However, the first reaction is not exaggerated or impossible, but rather interesting!

"It's so decided, don't be cowardly. Mi Wu shouted out first.

"20 million copies in three years, if you can really sell this number, especially in this situation, even if the 15 million is not given to the company, I am willing to give 5% of the shares. It's cheap for me to come. Even if you include some of the income from copyright transactions, at least 10 million copies will be sold in three years......, right? It's amazing. Lian Xingjie smiled and said, "Okay, I recognize this deal." ”

"Yes. Yue Qingyan pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't suffer a loss." Three years later, it won't be this price before tomorrow, right? There are industry partners, business development, and industry connections...... Moreover, if I can buy so much, I will not make less money. Besides, 5% is not considered equity dilution in 3 years, which is very interesting. It's kind of a spur for myself. ”

As soon as Yue Qingyan said this, everyone immediately became excited. Of course, Lian Xingjie is willing to admit this kind of cooperation, but what the author is most afraid of is slackness, so that a Yue Qingyan, who has been full of firepower for three years, may really be able to create miracles? As for 15 million, it really doesn't matter when the time comes. In addition, the plan proposed by Morsheng increases the company's cash retention, which means that more money can be spent on the promotion and operation of the author. The direct beneficiaries of this are Yue Qingyan and the company's own people like Miwu and Du Xiao.

"Miss Mo, your 1% is fine. We'll exchange contact details and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Don't you really want to develop a little bit in operations, business, or authorship?" said Lian Xingjie, "It feels like it's going to be a good fit for you." ”

Morsheng shook his head and said, "I still want to learn to write on my own." I'm studying with Lao Yue. ”
