Chapter 125 VAM Agreement?

Hearing this, Wen Xun understood what he felt was wrong. But he asked quietly, "What do you mean?" ”

"We are very optimistic about Wen Xun's husband's book "Fullmetal Alchemist", and we even think that your book is one of the few commercial and literary works in the Chinese mainland market in recent years, so we want to introduce the traditional Chinese market in Taiwan to test the waters, and if the response is good, it is not ......impossible to land in the Japanese market."

"What about coaxing ghosts...... Wen Xun's mouth moved slightly, and he complained softly. It's not impossible to land in the Japanese market...... This kind of is okay to deceive children who have never seen the market, and it is okay to deceive Wenxun? If Wen Xun was so easy to deceive, Wen Xun's family would have been sold out by traffickers a long time ago......

Although it sounds exciting, as long as it is not implemented in the contract and is not written in black and white, it is not much different from the people in the village back then, and everyone built a house in the field together, and the government must give more money to build roads, and then everyone will be a nail household, and then the government will give a lot of money...... Isn't that a more enticing prospect than this possibility? As a result, the highway that was supposed to be taken from Sanliu Village bypassed from other villages, and it was because the price of Sanliu Village was too high

"It's easy to say...... Wen Xun smiled, and then continued to ask some key questions: "What is your company's idea about Taiwan's traditional Chinese market?" ”

"According to the royalty of 10, I don't know what Wen Xun's husband thinks?" The Taiwanese translator said with a smile.

“10？” As soon as Wen Xun repeated this number, he heard Lan Yang leaning over and whispering to him: "The Taiwan market has shrunk a little in recent years, and in the past, ordinary novels could sell 30,000 or 40,000 copies, but now they are more than 10,000 copies, which is considered a very popular book......

Hearing Lan Yang's words, Wen Xun's whole person was shocked, and he had the impression that Taiwan seemed to be very big? It seems that the population is also quite large? It can be regarded as a provincial-level unit with few words, and the sales of a very popular book are only more than 10,000 copies? You must know that the first copy of Wen Xun's "Fullmetal Alchemist" shipped to Bertelsmann is one million copies, and after an average of more than 30 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China, there are about 30,000 copies per provincial-level unit, and this is only one printing

"There are a lot of people there," Wen Xun asked Lan Yang in surprise. "More than 20 million, but I don't know if it's because the entertainment is too diverse, so there are fewer and fewer people reading books. Of the more than 10,000 copies sold, more than half of them are purchased from the bookstore...... "Lan Yang said some of the information he knew.

Hearing these materials, Wen Xun simply shook his head helplessly, a market of 23 million people has now been reduced to a book that sells more than 10,000 copies is considered a bestseller? Compared with the more than one million sales on the mainland, it feels as if the whole world has fallen into a pot all at once - suddenly everything has become so small

Wen Xun really feels a little uninterested, although he can get royalties no matter how many copies he sells, but the royalties he gets can still be NT$, and he has to convert them into RMB according to the exchange rate, and then he has to pay a tax.

It doesn't all say that if Bill Gates drops his wallet on the street again, and if the money in his wallet is less than a thousand dollars at this time, he will not pick it up. Because the action of bending down to pick up the wallet took enough time for him to make a profit of $1,000

Wen Xun feels this way now, just for the sake of such a little manuscript fee, he is really not happy to let him toss and turn so troublesomely. But at this time, a Taiwanese translator said: "Wen husband, I didn't say it, I think it's better for you to agree, our Taiwan market is very close to the Japanese market, if you prove yourself in the Taiwan market, it is very likely to land in the Japanese market." Landed in the Japanese market, where there are more than 100 million people in the market, and the price of books is high, when the time comes, you can buy a private jet when you return to the mainland? ”

I have to say that the words of this slightly girly Taiwanese translator have a great "push" effect on Wen Xun. Originally, he didn't want to publish a book in Taiwan, but after hearing the words of this Taiwanese translator, he basically didn't want to publish a book in Taiwan

"Lao Tzu is the first book of "The Alchemist of Steel" in the mainland, and more than 1 million copies have been shipped to the Bertelsmann Book Club, all the investment and profit are mine alone, and I have made a profit of more than 6 million yuan, and it is my honor to tell me to go to that pot to publish a book now? Let's put it this way, if Kadokawa Shoten in Japan is interested in bringing my books to Japan, then I'm still a little interested. If it's just to enter the Taiwan market, soryy, I personally don't have that ......much to spare," Wen Xun said directly and sharply.

When he said this, he even used the colloquial language of "Lao Tzu", which Shuchuan people are very accustomed to. In other provinces, it may seem too arrogant to use "Lao Tzu" as a self-title, but in Shuchuan, it is simply too common to use this as a self-title, no matter who you are, you will use this "Lao Tzu" to refer to yourself.

As soon as Wen Xun's Shuchuan mantra came out, he directly suppressed the Taiwan compatriots, perhaps because the island of Taiwan is relatively small and there are not many people, and many times even if they offend people, they will bow their heads and not look up, so ordinary people in Taiwan have a softer temper and are rarely angry. This Taiwanese translator has never seen Wen Xun open his mouth like this and say "Lao Tzu" directly

What's more, Wen Xun's words just now also revealed a situation that Kadokawa Bookstore didn't know before, that is, this book was actually invested by Wen Xun himself, and even made a profit of more than 6 million 6 million yuan, a book is equivalent to 25 million New Taiwan dollars, fast, what book in Taiwan can give the author 25 million New Taiwan dollars?

In the end, the Taiwanese translator was still helpless, and translated Wen Xun's words to the Japanese representative as much as possible. After hearing Wen Xun's words, the Japanese representative was also stunned for a moment. Before he came, he had done his homework and knew that Wen Xun's book was selling very well, but he didn't know that this "Alchemist of Fullmetal" was completely self-financing

After thinking about it, he still said: "It's not unreasonable for Wen Xunsang to say this, but please think about it a little." Our Japanese market is quite closed and exclusive, and it is quite difficult for foreigners to succeed in the Japanese market. If we at Kadokawa Bookstore brought in your Fullmetal Alchemist, it would be too risky...... Therefore, we still recommend that you try the water in the Taiwanese market now......"

Hearing this, Wen Xun waved his hand, originally he wanted to get up at this time, but he suddenly thought of something. Wen Xun, who was still sitting on the stool, thought for a few seconds, and then proposed with a twinkle in his eyes: "I heard that there is a contract in the international venture capital market called VAM investment ......."

It turned out that this was something Wen Xun saw when he was reading idle books two days ago. This so-called VAM investment is the relationship between the future development speed of the enterprise and the shares, for example, the international large Morgan Stanley investment gave a certain Wenxun company 100 million US dollars.

Then, Morgan Stanley definitely wants to take a large stake, say 70, but Wen Xun is certainly not happy. So the two sides simply made a VAM agreement - for example, if Wen Xun's company can achieve an average annual profit increase of 30% in the next five years, then Morgan Stanley will give up half of the share requirement and eventually only account for 35 shares. And if Wen Xun's company does not reach an average annual profit growth rate of 30, then it may have to lose 100% of his shares in the company

I have to say that Wen Xun's courage is indeed great, and the plan he proposed is exactly the same as the gambling agreement thrown by Morgan Stanley and other investment banks - if the first book of "Fullmetal Alchemist" can get more than 500,000 copies sold in Japan, then Kadokawa Bookstore needs to pay Wen Xun 20 royalties, and if the sales are less than 500,000 copies, then Wen Xun does not need a penny of royalties

Is this bold? Is it definitely big or not? Absolutely big, so-called starving the cowardly to death, how can Wen Xun's guts be so big? Wen Xun is not afraid of a case? If the hourly sales are low, then didn't he work for Kadokawa Bookstore for nothing?

Out of the same thought, Lan Yang jumped up in absolute shock when he heard Wen Xun's proposal, he desperately wanted to pull Wen Xun to cover Wen Xun's mouth, but he was still a step too slow. He said to Wen Xun in a panic: "Wen Xun, what are you doing here?" Giving money to others for nothing? The risk is too great, nine deaths, this is"

"Out of the way, I'm sure." Wen Xun said calmly at this time. As soon as he said this, coupled with his very calm expression, Lan Yang was directly confused. Lan Yang looked at Wen Xun's expression, listening to Wen Xun's words, how did he feel as if Wen Xun was really sure? Is Wen Xun scaring the Japanese and pretending, or is he really sure? He Lan Yang really didn't know how to react at this time, he Lan Yang was familiar with the mainland market, and he knew a little about the Taiwan market, but he was really not familiar with the Japanese market, so he really couldn't help Wen Xun

And Wen Xun is absolutely confident at this time - he has the ability to dream he doesn't believe it, with his Wen Xun's ability to operate, and the opportunity to try almost unlimited times in his dreams, he can't sell 500,000 novels in the little devil's territory? If he can't sell it, how did Hiromi Arakawa come to Mao Sui to recommend himself to him? If it can't be sold, then how can Fullmetal Alchemist be animated? Why do you still have to make a theme song?

Yes, Wen Xun knows what the outcome of the future will look like, this is his greatest confidence, he has the ability to see through the fog of time and space to see the end of the future, he has the ability to see the light of the end in the dark tunnel, so he has confidence

Although he may not be able to escape the various traps and cliffs on the road just knowing that the end is there, Wen Xun's dream ability can be tried almost infinitely

"How? Do you dare to bet? Wen Xun leaned forward and gave Kadokawa a location
