Chapter 92

Liu Jianping took out the key to open the door of room 502, and after entering the house, closed the door. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Wang Yaoshen, who was staying in the living room office, heard the sound of the door closing and didn't see anyone, so he shouted and asked, "Jianping, are you back?" ā€

"I'm back." Liu Jianping walked to the living room and said with a smile, "Just now, I received a text message from my cousin, saying that the author of the journey of "Ethereal Journey" wants to sell us half of the copyright of this work, what price does the other party offer?" ā€

Wang Yaoshen opened his mouth and was about to return, Zhu Fengnian opened the door of the master bedroom, and walked out, and replied first: "150 yuan per thousand words, except for the copyright of the traditional version of the physical book." ā€

Liu Jianping raised his right hand, touched the beard on his chin, and asked, "This price is a bit high, do you think the price is negotiable?" ā€

Zhu Fengnian replied: "I don't think it's easy to talk about it, the popularity of "Ethereal Journey" on the Internet, and the sales of traditional Chinese physical books on Treasure Island, are not worse than "Zhu Xian", if the price is lower, it can be regarded as a self-depreciation. ā€

"Yes!" Liu Jianping nodded thoughtfully, and said secretly in his heart, "Compared with "Zhu Xian", the sales of Xiao Ding's "Ethereal Journey" simplified version of the physical book are much worse, and the sales of a single volume should be okay, and it is also one of the three major online books, these two novels have been changed into large-scale online games, and it is estimated that in the future, half of the game adaptation rights will be able to earn back the investment in buying out these two novels......"

"Smashed?" Zhu Fengnian asked with a smile, "When I decided to buy half of the copyright of "Zhu Xian", you didn't think about it for so long, don't you think that after the simplified version of "Ethereal Journey" is published, it will hit the street, right?" ā€

"I don't think so." Liu Jianping smiled.

"Are you afraid of not having enough funds?" Zhu Fengnian asked again, "I talked to Xiao Ding, if I really signed the contract, I would not pay the manuscript fee at once, and I would pay it monthly, and he said it was acceptable." Even if there is a problem with the cash flow of the website in the future, isn't there still a big writer like you, as long as the good book network delays the release of your manuscript fee, there will be no problem. ā€

"Okay!" Liu Jianping nodded with a smile, "Sign the contract!" ā€

Wang Yaoshen interjected with a smile and asked: "What file does the author set for participating in the subscription revenue sharing?" ā€

Liu Jianping smiled: "It's the same as "Zhu Xian", the VIP chapter has more than 2,000 subscriptions, and the website and the author share it in half. ā€

Zhu Fengnian smiled and said, "Jianping, I just made a phone call, guess who I called?" ā€

"I'm not a fairy, I have something to say, it's okay, I can go back to the house and write a novel."

"I called Yuan Zhengjie." Zhu Fengnian smiled slightly, and asked again, "Guess, what did I say to him?" ā€

Liu Jianping knew that Yuan Zhengjie was Zhu Fengnian's college classmate, and his father was the leader of the logistics department of Jiangcheng Publishing House, and it was with the help of this person that his "Legend of Rebirth" under his name, as well as "Do You Mind If I Play Football", which was owned by Haoshu.com and Lin Hai Tingtao, signed a contract with Jiangcheng Publishing House for publication.

In recent months, Liu Jianping and Yuan Zhengjie have eaten three meals together.

Liu Jianping glanced at Zhu Fengnian a few times, and asked rhetorically: "You won't think I want to set up a company to engage in book planning, right?" ā€

"I didn't say you had this idea, so I asked, what are the difficulties in setting up such a company? He told me that it is not a big deal, as long as you dig a master of book distribution from the publishing house, publish a book, buy a book number, find a printing house to print the book, and wait for the book to come out and have a channel to sell it. ā€

Zhu Fengnian smiled and continued, "He said, I have a good idea, there are a lot of high-quality resources on the Good Books Network, and the online works that are popular on the Internet have a readership base and are well operated, and books like "Zhu Xian" can make a lot of money. ā€

Liu Jianping asked: "He knows that we bought half of the copyright of "Zhu Xian" at a price of 150 yuan per thousand words, right?" ā€

"You know, he thinks we've made a profit."

"I hope to be able to earn." Liu Jianping said with a smile, "Cousin, you find an opportunity to have a meal with Brother Yuan, and ask him to introduce us to a master with experience in book distribution." ā€

"I don't need you to remind you, I've already told him about it. When he answered my phone, he was at home and told his father about it, and his father said that Jiangcheng Publishing House really has talents in this area, and if we want to pry into the corner, the price will not be low. ā€

Wang Yaoshen interjected and asked, "How much does it cost?" ā€

"I didn't ask much, I just said that as long as it is a talent, it is worth hiring with a high salary."

Zhu Fengnian replied with a smile, paused for a moment, and continued, "I don't think it's as simple as asking for a high salary, and maybe asking for shares in the company...... Jianping, if that person made such a request, would you agree? ā€

"This book company should have the same parent company as Haoshu.com, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the parent company, so that there will not be too many problems when settling accounts in the future. Our business can only be regarded as just starting, and we will need a lot of talents to join in the future, and our company is still small, so it is impossible to pay employees too high salaries...... Stocks, as well as stock option awards, are the most cost-effective for us and for our employees. ā€

Gong Zhiyang, who was busy typing the code and listening to Liu Jianping chatting, asked with a smile: "Big boss, in the past month or so, Dagui and I have worked overtime almost every day, and we have one day off a week, how many stocks and stock option rewards can we get?" ā€

Liu Jianping turned his head to look at Gong Zhiyang, and asked with a smile: "Brother Gong, how much do you think?" ā€

"Of course, the more the merrier."

"Do you think this will work, by the end of this year, in the case of underestimating the company's market value, you and Brother Su, each of them can invest in shares, and the investment amount shall not exceed one percent, what do you think?"

Gong Zhiyang asked: "Will Kaixin.com and Haoshu.com merge?" ā€

Liu Jianping replied with a smile: "Yes, it will be wholly owned by the same parent company." You can invest in shares of the parent company. ā€

"Uh......" Gong Zhiyang smiled and pondered for a moment, "What do you estimate by the end of this year, how much is the market value of this parent company?" ā€

"I'll tell you the truth," Liu Jianping smiled confidently, "I think the market value may exceed 100 million." ā€

"100 million?" Gong Zhiyang had a surprised expression on his face.

"I think the market value of 100 million is still very likely." Su Dagui, who is a little introverted, interjected with a smile, "Haoshu.com is a profitable website, when calculating the market value of this website, the price-earnings ratio is two hundred times, which is not high, and it is not difficult to make a profit of 500,000 yuan this year." By the end of the year, the valuation of just one website, Haoshu.com, could reach 100 million. ā€

"100 million, 1 percent of the shares, 1 million!" Gong Zhiyang smiled bitterly, "Even if my relatives and friends lend me all their savings, I won't be able to make up one million." ā€

"In addition to investing in shares, you can also choose to get stock options." Liu Jianping smiled and said, "Brother Gong, Brother Su, we can be regarded as having tribulation together, work hard, I won't treat you badly!" ā€

"I'll do a good job." Gong Zhiyang said with a smile, "I have accepted your blank check, and I hope that when I cash it in the future, it will surprise me!" ā€

"There will definitely be surprises." Su Dagui smiled.
