Chapter 117: Talking about cooperation

ps: The third update, please support the book friends, thank you......

Liu Zelai was just about to stand up, when he heard Xiao Fei calling him, he sat down again, looked at his watch, it was already more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and before he knew it, they had been talking for more than two hours.

"Xiao Fei, you say." Liu Zelai said.

According to Xiao Fei's understanding of Liu Zelai in his previous life, he is a person who dares to act and does not want to stick to the old rules, he loves work, works diligently and steadfastly like an old scalper, and at the same time, he also has a restless heart.

When he realized that his meager salary was not enough to provide a better life for his family, he began to put down the literati shelf and resolutely jumped into the business sea.

He invested in a cake shop, and he did not hesitate to mortgage his house to borrow a huge amount of money, and opened an express hotel at the risk of bankruptcy.

He succeeded in changing his identity and became a Confucian merchant, and he did quite well.

Of course, this is all in the future, and Liu Zelai is still very young now, and his thinking may not have begun to change subtly.

But even so, Xiao Fei still believes that the current Liu Zelai is still the best partner he can find.

Liu Zelai is sincere, loyal and duty-bound, and can be trusted.

Liu Zelai is rigorous and thoughtful, and although he is adventurous, he is not impatient and rash. Working with him doesn't take much risk.

Liu Zelai has worked in the Central Plains Evening News for many years, in addition to the Baihuatai supplement, he is also responsible for the editing of the serial layout, which makes him accumulate rich contacts in the cultural circle, many domestic publishing houses have his acquaintances, and he also has a good relationship with many writers.

Liu Zelai graduated from the Chinese Department of Hexi University, and many of his classmates work in media, television stations, and publishing houses inside and outside the province, which is also a very useful network.

It is precisely because of the above comprehensive considerations that Xiao Fei chose Liu Zelai as his future partner.

It's just that he is suspicious now, and he doesn't know if he can persuade Liu Zelai to cooperate with him now. After all, working in a newspaper is a very decent job, and not everyone can give it up without any decision.

"Mr. Liu, that's right, I have a plan, I plan to open a book planning company in the near future, and I want to ask your opinion." Xiao Fei said.

"What? Starting a company? You're still a student, aren't you? Even putting aside your identity, starting a company is not just fun, it requires a lot of capital and a lot of energy to operate, I think your idea is not realistic. Liu Zelai raised his eyebrows and frowned slightly.

His speaking style is as direct as ever.

"I think I can raise funds in two or three months at most, and now the cost of opening a company is only a few large pieces of renting an office, recruiting salaries, office equipment purchases, and reserving a few large pieces of working capital, 300,000 yuan, right? As for the operation, I intend to completely let it go and hand it over to my partners. Xiao Fei said with a faint smile.

Liu Ze came to look at Xiao Fei and thought that this kid's brain was not pumping?

What nonsense?

Is $300,000 a small amount? In the era when the average monthly salary was two or three hundred, for the vast majority of people in China, 300,000 yuan was an astronomical amount that could not be achieved in a lifetime.

Xiao Fei actually said that it could be raised in just two or three months. Where did he get so much confidence? Where could he raise such a large sum of money?

Speaking of this part of the business, he actually said that he can completely let go of his own partners, this is definitely the rhythm of brain water, is there a partner in this world who can be completely assured? Aren't you afraid that you will be eaten to the point that there are no bones left? It's still too young and too naïve to think.

"Xiao Fei, I think this is a pure unrealistic fantasy of yours, it is impossible to realize it, I advise you to be realistic, stop thinking nonsense, and it is only right to study honestly and prepare for the university entrance examination." Liu Zelai persuaded.

Xiao Fei sighed softly. Due to his age and identity, it was not so easy to convince Liu Zelai.

He thought it would be better to come up with something dry.

"Mr. Liu, don't you think the current book publishing market is a great opportunity? As long as we have a good book planning topic and a good work, we can get the book number from the operation of the publishing house, edit and typeset, and then hand it over to the printing house for printing, and then make every effort to develop the sales market. Xiao Fei looked directly into Liu Zelai's eyes and said softly.

"Huh?"

After listening to Xiao Fei's remarks, Liu Zelai realized that Xiao Fei was planning to exploit the loopholes in the publishing industry and make profits from publishing books.

Liu Zelai still knows a lot about the current book market.

As far as he knows, there are quite a few private book companies in the capital now, which make money by finding gunmen to concoct and plan book topics, and then buy book numbers from publishing houses and print and distribute them themselves, and they are indeed very profitable.

However, this business is definitely not very visible when it is done by private individuals, it belongs to the gray area, and the state does not allow private booksellers to do publishing.

Nowadays, all booksellers are trying to get out of the way, cooperating with publishing houses, or directly contracting a certain department of the publishing house, so as to put on a legal cloak for themselves.

But in any case, this piece is indeed profitable.

The key is that you need to have connections, but also have excellent book planning, of course, if it is a literary book, you don't need creative planning, you want the book to be good-looking and stand the test of the market.

Liu Zelai's heart was stirred all of a sudden.

He has been working in the Central Plains Evening News for more than 6 years, as an editor, this profession is glamorous, but under the glamorous coat, there is a poor status quo.

The income is meager, although it is not bad compared to many other industries in society, but it is only enough to support the family, compared with those businessmen and business owners, it is pitiful.

Liu Zelai still lives in a rented house, and his family of three lives in a small house of less than 20 square meters.

Now there are commercial houses for sale on the market, but the price of hundreds of yuan per square meter is not something he can peep at at all.

For many nights, Liu Zelai tossed and turned, worrying about his survival status. However, he could not find a better way out.

Now, Xiao Fei's words made him suddenly feel empowered.

He thought about it for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Xiao Fei said was not a way to make money.

He has no shortage of contacts and relationships, and he is confident that he can also make a difference in the planning of book topics, but what he lacks now may be funds.

If you do this, how much money do you need to invest in the early stage?

Liu Zelai calculated nervously.

After doing the math, he believes that the starting capital needs at least 50,000 yuan. $50,000...... His current savings are less than 5,000 yuan!

"Teacher Liu, let's do it together, let's cooperate, I will contribute funds and book planning, and you will use your connections and connections to preside over the overall operation, what do you think?" Xiao Fei saw Liu Zelai's heartbeat, and then spoke.
