Chapter 391: Traveling lightly

Liu Changtian listened to Xu Hong's words and said: "Isn't that 'New Star Publishing House,' just over a month after its establishment! What strength can such a newly established publishing house have?"

When Xu Hong heard this, he smiled and said: "Of course, what you said is reasonable, but if there are some rich people who see the potential of this publishing house and want to raise funds for this publishing house, then can you still say that this 'new star publishing house' has no strength!"

"What are you talking about, financing! Can 'New Star Publishing House' still attract financing?" Liu Changtian listened to Xu Hong's words, and he was still a little unconvinced. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Xu Hong heard this, he said: "Don't forget, now our "Sanmao Wanderings" is selling very well, which shows that the future of our 'New Star Publishing House' is bright. This alone is enough to attract the attention of some capitalists. ”

Xu Hong is actually talking nonsense! That capitalist would notice a small children's publishing house that has just been established for less than two months! Even if "The Wanderings of Sanmao" sells well, it will not be able to attract the attention of capitalists at all.

But no matter what, after Xu Hong said this, Liu Changtian felt very reasonable, and felt that 'New Star Publishing House' could raise funds in this way!

After listening to Xu Hong's words, Liu Changtian also had to nod, feeling that what Xu Hong said made sense, and it was not the same as his 'Chunya Publishing House' at the beginning, it was because of the publication of "Robot Adventure", the sales were very good, which attracted the attention of many investors, and made him a publishing house soon bigger and stronger.

Thinking of these things, Liu Changtian was a little disappointed again, he looked at Xu Hong and said: "In this way, I can't share the benefits of your "Sanmao Wanderings" at all. ”

Looking at Liu Changtian's somewhat disappointed expression, Xu Hong just looked at him and said, "In this way, I can sell you some of the peripheral copyrights of "Sanmao Wanderings", do you want it." ”

Hearing Xu Hong say this, Liu Changtian was still a little inexplicable, he didn't seem to know much about the words 'peripheral copyright'.

Seeing that Liu Changtian didn't react, Xu Hong explained: "I mean, you can develop some children's utensils, such as student schoolbags and stationery boxes, and then cooperate with the manufacturer, you are responsible for designing the appearance of these supplies, and then let the manufacturer produce them, and finally you will share the sales benefits, do you understand what I mean!"

As soon as he heard Xu Hong say this, Liu Changtian felt that his eyes lit up, he seemed to understand some truth, and he felt that the thing Xu Hong said could also be done. As long as the sales of "Sanmao Wandering" can continue to grow, then he can also make a lot of profits from making these peripheral products.

"Okay, Xu Hong, your statement is not bad, then you say, how much is the copyright of your "Sanmao Wanderings" going to sell. Liu Changtian listened to Xu Hong's words, but he felt that it was very reasonable, and this thing could be done.

When Xu Hong heard this, he stretched out his hand and lit up in front of Liu Changtian.

Liu Changtian was stunned for a moment, and then he thought, is it 50,000 yuan? He thought, if it is 50,000 yuan, it is really too cheap. So he asked in a low voice: "Xu Hong, do you mean 50,000!"

Xu Hong shook his head and said, "No, it's 500,000!"

As soon as he heard Xu Hong's words, Liu Changtian was shocked, thinking, if it is 500,000 yuan, is it too much! This risk is still quite big, if the sales of "Sanmao Wanderings" can continue to rise, it is natural that these investments can be earned. But if the sales of "Sanmao Wandering" are not rising, I am afraid that it will be a loss.

Thinking of this, Liu Changtian just looked at Xu Hong and said, "Can it be a little less, how about 300,000, 500,000, the risk I take is still quite big." ”

Xu Hong looked at Liu Changtian and said: "You won't suffer 500,000 yuan, I am confident that the sales of our "Sanmao Wandering" will continue to rise, and it will not be a problem to surpass "Robot Adventure". I'll give you a price of 500,000 yuan, you are already very advantageous, I will not lower the price anymore, this is the lowest price, if you are willing, you will sign a contract with your publishing house, if you are unwilling, then I will sell the surrounding copyright of "Sanmao Wanderings" to other children's publishing houses, anyway, in addition to your "Chunya Publishing House" in this capital, there are two other large children's publishing houses!"

Hearing Xu Hong say this, Liu Changtian was a little hesitant, he didn't know what to do with it for a while, so he looked at Editor Zhang and said: "Lao Zhang, how do you feel, can we exchange 500,000 yuan for the peripheral copyright of "Sanmao Wanderings"!"

Of course, Editor Zhang spoke on Xu Hong's side, and he was originally very optimistic about a work of children's literature like "Sanmao Wanderings". Now Xu Hong said that he would sell the peripheral copyright of "Sanmao Wanderings" to 'Chunya Publishing House'. Of course, he supports Xu Hong's point of view.

After listening to Liu Changtian's words, Editor Zhang just looked at Liu Changtian and said, "President Liu, do you still have to hesitate! Last time, we missed the full copyright of "Sanmao Wanderings". This time, do you still want to miss out on this 'peripheral copyright'? I feel that 500,000 yuan to buy the 'peripheral copyright' of "Sanmao Wandering" is really not much, and we will definitely be able to earn it back. Not only can you earn back the cost, but you can also make a lot of profits. ”

As soon as he heard Editor Zhang's words, Liu Changtian also had confidence, thinking about the last time he missed the full copyright of "Sanmao Wanderings", which really made him regret it! This time, it is impossible for him to regret it again.

Thinking of this, Liu Changtian just looked at Xu Hong and said, "Okay, 500,000 is 500,000, let's go back to the publishing house to sign the contract!"

Seeing that Liu Changtian agreed, Xu Hong said again: "I need cash, and you can transfer the money to me right away." ”

When Liu Changtian heard this, he didn't care and said: "Of course, although 500,000 is not a small amount, it is nothing for our 'Chunya Publishing House'.

After the three of them discussed, Liu Changtian called the waiter over to settle the bill, and then returned to the 'Chunya Publishing House' with Xu Hongzhang.

When he arrived at the publishing house, Editor Zhang naturally returned to the editorial office. Because of the following play, he doesn't have to act anymore.

Xu Hong and Liu Changtian came to the president's office. Liu Changtian took out two contracts and asked Xu Hong to sign them. After that, he also signed it.

After the contract was signed, Liu Changtian used the computer on his desk to transfer 500,000 yuan to the account that Xu Hong told him.

In just over an hour, Xu Hong's account has another 500,000, plus the previous 500,000, he can now be said to be an out-and-out millionaire.

After Xu Hong came out of the 'Spring Sprout Publishing House', he did not go back to school directly, but went to the 'New Star Publishing House'. ’

After arriving there, he came directly to Zhao Shihonghe's office.

Zhao Shihong and Li Wei were in their offices reviewing manuscripts sent in by authors. Seeing Xu Hong coming, he beckoned Xu Hong to sit down together.

Xu Hong sat on the sofa in the office, then looked at Zhao Shihong and asked, "How is the sales of "Sanmao Wandering" recently. ”

When Zhao Shihong heard this, he looked at Xu Hong happily and said: "It's completely beyond imagination! The sales of "Sanmao Wanderings" have not only not declined, but have continued to rise! I believe that in less than half a month, the sales of "Sanmao Wanderings" will definitely be able to surpass that of "Robot Adventures." Now it's an average of a few hundred copies a day. ”

After listening to Zhao Shihong's words, Xu Hong just looked at him and said, "Okay, I'll be relieved now." It's just that in this case, we should strike while the iron is hot and publish the cartoons of "Sanmao Wanderings", so that they can complement each other and further increase the fame of "Sanmao Wanderings". In this way, "Sanmao Wanderings" may be targeted by the film and television industry. If that were the case, we could have made a lot of money from this book. ”

After listening to Xu Hong's words, Zhao Shihong felt that his eyes were also bright. However, if they want to publish the comic works of "The Wanderings of Sanmao", they will have to make investments! And now their "New Star Publishing House" does not have much liquidity at all, and I am afraid that they can only think about it, and they will still not be able to publish the comic version of "The Wanderings of Sanmao" for a while.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shihong said helplessly: "Brother Xu, your idea is good, but we don't have the money to operate! This must wait until the sales revenue of our "Sanmao Wanderings" is recovered, and it is possible to do this thing!"

When Xu Hong heard this, he said again: "Don't wait, I just earned another 500,000 yuan, so I can invest in it first." We immediately began to design and publish the comic book "The Wanderings of Sanmao". ”

Hearing Xu Hong say this, Li Wei and Zhao Shihong's eyes widened.

Last time, Xu Hong said that he had earned 500,000 yuan, and it had only been a few days! He had earned another 500,000 yuan.

"Why, why are you all looking at me, don't you believe me!" Xu Hong asked a little strangely when he saw that Zhao Shihong and Li Wei were just staring at him.

"No, Brother Xu, are you opening a bank! How can you casually earn another 500,000 yuan, even if you are a small boss, you won't make money so fast!" Zhao Shihong couldn't understand how Xu Hong earned another 500,000 yuan in a few days.

When Xu Hong heard this, he just told him about going to see Liu Changtian just now, and then looked at Zhao Shihong and said: "How about it, my trick is okay! I just sold the peripheral copyright of "Sanmao Wanderings", and I actually earned 500,000 real money. ”

As soon as they heard Xu Hong's words, Zhao Shihong and Li Wei's eyes widened.

"Peripheral copyright!" the two said almost in unison.

Zhao Shihong and Li Wei seem to have heard such a term for the first time. For a while, I still didn't understand a little.

It is no wonder that the cultural market in this world is not as mature as the cultural market in Xu Hong's original world. Although some books have sold well, no one has ever thought that they can develop peripheral products to make greater profits.

As a young man who has traveled through time, Xu Hong naturally knows that in the world before his death, in the cultural market, these so-called peripheral products have been quite mature. As long as it's a good piece of literature and sells well, there will definitely be some merchandise.

Xu Hong glanced at Zhao Shihong and Li Wei, and felt that they didn't know much about this thing, so he patiently explained it to them again.

With this explanation, the two of them finally understood what was going on.

"What you mean is that you sold the peripheral rights of "Sanmao Wanderings" to 'Chunya Publishing House'. Zhao Shihong listened to Xu Hong's explanation, and he understood what was going on, and knew how Xu Hong earned the 500,000 yuan.

After listening to Xu Hong's explanation, Li Wei said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Xu, if you sell the peripheral copyright of "Sanmao Wanderings" in this way, are we at a loss? Since the sales of our works are so good, then this 'peripheral copyright' should also be worth a lot of money! You only sold 500,000 yuan, will you lose money? ”

As soon as he heard Li Wei's words, Xu Hong looked at him and said, "It's hard to say this question." But we already own the full copyright of "Sanmao Wanderings". It doesn't make much sense to ask for another 'peripheral copyright'. Maybe with it, you can make more money. But for this money, we have to use a lot of manpower and material resources, so that it can't be calculated. After all, we are a small newly established publishing house, and if we are greedy, we are afraid that we will have indigestion, so if we want to go faster, we must travel lightly!"

After listening to Xu Hong's words, Zhao Shihong and Li Wei felt that it was very reasonable. Now they, as a publishing house, have to move forward lightly, so that they can go faster.

"Okay, we'll listen to Brother Xu in the future, now Xu Hong is the moneymaker, in the future, this 'New Star Publishing House' will let Brother Xu be the president!

Thinking that Xu Hong took out another 500,000 all of a sudden, Zhao Shihong just didn't dare to continue to be the president, and wanted to be virtuous.

When Xu Hong heard this, he looked at Zhao Shihong and said: "No need for this, you should still be the president! Otherwise, just give me an editor-in-chief, I'm still a primary school teacher! I don't have time to stay here and work all the time!"

Hearing Xu Hong's words, Zhao Shihong was still a little puzzled, he looked at Xu Hong and said, "Brother Xu, you are now a millionaire, what kind of elementary school teacher are you doing!"

When Xu Hong heard this, he pretended to be helpless and said: "There is no way, I signed a contract with the school before, and I have to teach for three months! Now it is only a month and a half, and it will take more than a month!"
