The popularity of the overseas version of "League of Legends" has also attracted the attention of many other companies.

There are also many foreign companies that have known about the existence of Xinghuo for a long time, and even many companies have contacted Xinghuo and want to invest in or invest in Xinghuo.

None of them were rejected.

But for some companies, they are only now aware of "League of Legends", only to learn that this is actually a game adapted from a novel, which is very popular in China, and the number of people who pay attention to this book is hundreds of millions.

Some publishers have read the Chinese version of the novel of "League of Legends", and even checked the relevant information and background, and also went to the official website and forum of "League of Legends Universe".

This book, which can be translated into English, has been published in North America and even around the world.

The game of "League of Legends" is very popular all over the world, and it is normal for people who like this game to want to understand the story and background of this novel, and to buy a novel.

It's not just foreign publishing houses that have this idea.

Many publishing houses in China also have overseas publishing channels, and they have also seen the popularity of the League of Legends game overseas, so they naturally want to buy the publishing rights in other overseas languages.

Among them, Changlian Publishing House, which cooperated with Li Ming, cooperated with Li Ming to publish the Chinese version of "Dou Po", "League of Legends", and even the novel version of "Chainsaw 1".

Changlian Publishing House is not a big publishing house in China, after all, the publishing in this world is still very active, and there are many people who like to read paper books and even newspapers and comics, and there are naturally many publishing houses.

But this prevents Changlian Publishing House from wanting to win the foreign publishing rights of "League of Legends" and expand!

But......

Li Ming does not want to sell the physical publishing rights, whether it is the simplified and traditional Chinese copyright in Chinese, or the physical copyright of other countries around the world, he does not want to sell, but intends to buy a publishing house to operate.

All the copyrights of "Dou Po" are in the hands of Qi Yue, and Li Ming can't do anything about selling it at the beginning.

Later, the first volume of "League of Legends" Collector's Edition, as well as the publication rights of the novel of "Chainsaw 1", Li Ming handed over to Changlian Publishing House, firstly, because the royalties they gave were okay, and secondly, because there was no money and time to run the publishing house at that time.

Now that Xinghuo has been rectified, the animation department has been established, and both manga and animation are beginning to prepare.

At that time, comics will definitely need to be published, and Li Ming will have other novels and comics to come up with, and it is certain that he will acquire a publishing house to supplement the Xinghuo ecology.

The authorization of the physical publishing right of "League of Legends" can only be published once by Changlian Publishing House, and if you want to continue publishing, you need to find Li Ming to buy the copyright again.

Li Ming's emphasis on "League of Legends" naturally makes it impossible to hand over the copyright so easily.

Changlian Publishing House, one of the top Chinese Hualian Publishing House, Longxiang Publishing House, internationally renowned Milan Publishing House, Random House, Hill Publishing House and other super publishing houses, have successively approached Xinghuo Company and want to sign the publishing rights of the global physical book of "League of Legends".

"I'm sorry, there are no plans to sell the overseas entity copyright of League of Legends for the time being!"

This is already the "League of Legends" game since the global open beta, I don't know how many publishers have received it.

Li Ming received a call from the front desk, saying that someone from a publishing house wanted to see him and asked him many times, and finally he also received this person from the publishing house and directly said what he had repeated many times.

The man who came to see Li Ming was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a white shirt and trousers, medium build, and glasses, and he was a very bookish uncle.

This made Li Ming think of his father.

Before the middle-aged uncle could speak, he was a little embarrassed when he heard Li Ming's straightforward words: "That...... I'm Wu Haiming, the owner of Wanjuan Publishing House, is Lin always ready to buy a publishing company on his own?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Wu Haiming's words, Li Ming was a little surprised, it was actually the owner of a publishing house?

The people who came to him before were all editors or negotiators from publishing houses, and none of the bosses came to negotiate in person.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Ming listened to this uncle's words, and it seemed that he ...... It's not like I'm here to talk about publishing!

Wu Haiming is in his forties, and his son is almost the age of Li Ming, so he naturally sees Li Ming's doubts: "This time I came to Mr. Li, not to talk about the publishing rights of the overseas physical book of "League of Legends", although I also want this copyright, but it is basically impossible." ”

"I came here this time to buy my company...... Mr. Li"

Wanjuan Publishing House, that is, the publishing house under Wanjuan Book House Company.

The competition in the publishing industry is actually very large, Wanjuan Book House Company was established for more than ten years, was founded by Wu Haiming's father, at that time it was the top publishing house in the entire Guangdong Province, but because of the competition, it has now declined, facing the possibility of being acquired or bankrupt.

Without the money to sign good authors, there will be no good content to provide, leading to a vicious circle and slowly declining.

Of course, the most important reason is that it was maliciously targeted and suppressed, and the contracted authors of Wanjuan Company were all poached, which led to the decline of Wanjuan Book House Company in a few years.

According to Wu Haiming, it was the top publishing house in China, Hualian Publishing House, that suppressed Wanjuan Company.

Wanjuan Book House Company is only one of the publishing houses and companies that Hualian wants to acquire under the national expansion.

As a last resort, how could a person like Wu Haiming, who inherited the family business from his father, come to the door in person and ask Li Ming to buy his company?

He just doesn't want the company in his hand to be acquired by Hualian Publishing House, even if it is bankrupt!

But Wu Haiming knew about Xinghuo Company, knew Li Ming, and knew that Li Ming had many high-quality novel copyrights in his hands.

With Li Ming here, Xinghuo Company has no shortage of high-quality novels that will be missing, and he also knows that Li Ming will definitely buy a publishing house for Xinghuo Company, so he came over!

"My request is also very simple, I am willing to give up 80% of the company's shares, as long as Mr. Li can keep the name of Wanjuan Book House Company and publishing house!"

This is Wu Haiming's request.

Li Ming nodded slightly and said, "Well, you can leave a contact information, if I want to buy a publishing house, I will contact you at that time!"

Li Ming naturally won't agree to come down, at least he has to investigate the foundation of the Ten Thousand Books Company, if the strength is too scummy, there is no need to buy it.

Maybe Wu Haiming said it very well, because he was suppressed, he wanted to sell the company to Li Ming, and was willing to be acquired by Xinghuo Company.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, isn't this a strategy?

Selling Wanjuan Shuwu Company to Li Ming or Xinghuo Company, Wu Haiming's stake was reduced to 20% or less.

But with the resources in Li Ming's hands, Wanjuan Bookstore Company will rise again and become more valuable, and the 20% stake in his hand will be even more valuable.

is good at being like a battlefield, and Li Ming cannot be allowed to be careless and imprudent.

This kind of thing to talk about cooperation is not what Li Ming is good at, it really has to be handled by Wanjuan Company, and it is not what the other party says, but also needs the company's professional evaluators and negotiators to talk about it......
