To be honest, Wen Xun's idea can be said to be crazy. If this is often seen in the venture capital world, there is really no one in the publishing industry who has ever seen such a contract! Does the average author have Wen Xun's confidence in this!

As soon as Wen Xun's words came out, the representative of the store in that corner was directly dumbfounded when he heard the words of the translator! After he was stunned for a long time, his first reaction subconsciously was not to ask Wen Xun for verification, but to ask why the Korean translator was flipping randomly! It turned out that he thought it was the translator who was fooling him!

After finding a translator to inquire clearly, the representative began to look at Wen Xun in a daze, pondering, he wondered if there was something hidden behind this seemingly jealous and unusual behavior. After thinking for a while, he said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wen, I personally don't have the authority to agree to such a clause, if you don't mind, I hope you can give me a chance to pay to the level uh......."

"Don't worry, I'm waiting for your reply." Speaking of this, Wen Xun served tea to the guests, which was the end of the meeting.

After he and the Taiwanese left, Lan Yanma eagerly approached Wen Xun and asked, "Wen Xun, why did you come up with such a gambling agreement!" Isn't that nonsense? ”

"You don't have faith in me?" Wen Xun heard Lan Yang's words so excited, he didn't get angry or angry, but asked Lan Yang with a light smile.

"It's not that I don't have confidence in you, I don't have confidence in the market! We haven't been exposed to the market, so we don't know what their reading style is like. Not to mention, Chinese cuisine has been localized in the United States, and Portuguese cuisine has also been localized in Macau. No matter what it is, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, how can we, as a cross-river dragon, have to match the local style of ......" "......" Lan Yang said bitterly.

"I know, I'm ready. This and the survey, I believe it is difficult for the two of us to be unable to buy foreign countries now, I remember the next time we went to Bertelsmann, it happened to be in Fuzhou? There is a foreign language shop on Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street next to Fuzhou Road? You should be able to buy the original of the book? And I heard Lu Yuqing say that it seems that now you can also buy things abroad with your credit card. We can still get a sample, although we don't know much about Japanese ......", under the pretext that the little prince Wen Xun immediately came up with an explanation that sounded like that would be so good.

Lan Yang heard Wen Xun say this, and thought for a moment. When he thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case, he and Wen Xun were not a literary school that ate the old times, they were both market schools, if they really studied the style of the book, even if they couldn't study anything in a day or two, they could always study a little bit in three months and half a year? This Cen said that this month's market localization thing, although it seems difficult, but if you really have to study it carefully

It's not a very difficult thing to do.

"Even if we can work it out, it's too risky for you to rashly propose such a condition...... If you lose, you won't have to pay for the manuscript! Lan Yang said a little sadly.

"Have you ever seen me lose?" Wen Xun asked Lan Yang with a smile, but without waiting for Lan Yang to answer, he continued: "I have my own ideas, actually, I think even if this time it is not unacceptable to lose all the profits of the first book of "Fullmetal Alchemist", or even the profits of the entire series......

Saying this, Wen Xun saw Lan Yang's dilated pupils with a frightened expression, and he explained with a smile: "Listen to me, to be a man, you have to look at the long-term and have a long-term vision. As my bottom line, I will not give up the right to adapt various cultural products, and the most I can give up is the right to publish in the market. If this fire caused a lot of repercussions, then with the help of those fine people, can they not develop their surroundings? ”

When Lan Yang heard this, he suddenly woke up. Yes, he also probably knows his own personality. In general, he thinks that his personality is not good for the overall situation, but he can do very well in details. Therefore, if it is really like Wen Xun said that "Fullmetal Alchemist" has become popular in Yueben, then all kinds of peripheral toys, games, cartoons, and theatrical movies will definitely come one after another! At that time, the money that Wen Xun will share is several times the publication royalty!

"But what if there is no fire?" Suddenly, Lan Yang thought of the consequences in case he lost, and he hurriedly asked Wen Xundao.

"What if there is no fire? It's great to lose all the manuscript fees in this market.

Although it sounds like a great look, but if you actually analyze it, if you don't sell 500,000 copies, how much can you get with royalties alone? Can you have 6 million RMB? Far from it? How much does this graph cost? Generally this and teenagers, I want to hold up to death and start 100 yuan a book? If the royalty is 10%, 500,000 is 5 million yuan. Didn't we make much money selling our first book to Bertelsmann...... Okay, I'm sorry, I didn't make much money, you didn't make money ...... this book" Wen Xun said with a smile, and finally complained about Lan Yang.

"So, even if I lose this 5 million, it's not a big loss for me. Because I have passed this book, I can understand the general state of the market, and lay a good foundation for other people to enter the market in the future, and even say that before today, we never thought of entering the market. Therefore, if they agree to the gambling agreement, if we win, we will pick up a windfall for nothing, if we lose, we don't have to lose anything now, at least our domestic capital is not less than a point, right? Wen Xun said with a very mature analysis.

After hearing Wen Xun's explanation, although Lan Yang still felt a little weird, he had to say that he was basically persuaded by Wen Xun. After a sigh, he said, "I now finally know why you became a millionaire before the age of the force, and I will be the only one when the ray is old...... You are much bolder than I am, and you have a natural sensitivity and courage to pursue the maximization of profits from capital. I can't make your decision even if you kill me......"

Yes, in Lan Yang's opinion, Wen Xun is indeed bold, and his boldness is very reasonable! Why? Because Wen Xun is not strong yet! Can't he afford to lose? Even if he loses all the family businesses in the country, he can't hear it yet! Won't he be able to get up in this life? His age is his biggest advantage, he can break through without any scruples, even if it is a risk! Because what he has is the capital!

Of course, Wen Xun also knew that he had misled Lan Yang. He couldn't tell Lan Yang and said, "Oh, brother, you don't know, I actually have the ability to foresee the future in dreams, and then I foresaw the future, and I must have pulled it in this book~ Otherwise, a person like me who is a chicken thief will not place this and bet on it~"

This kind of thing, even if Wen Xun is willing to say it. , Lan Yang also has to believe it! If ordinary people hear someone say this, they will definitely have to join their families to send the person who said this to a psychiatric hospital!

After explaining to Lan Yang, Wen Xun returned to his home.

When Wen Xun returned home, the representative of the "corner" store hurriedly made an international call to return home to report the situation. When his situation was transmitted back to the headquarters, it suddenly caused a burst of chickens and dogs to jump in the headquarters!

The executives of the Kadokawa store were urgently called to the headquarters conference room in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, to attend an emergency meeting convened by President Norihiko Kadokawa. It turned out that for the Kadokawa store, Wen Xun, a well-known rookie writer in China, would not have been able to get such treatment that made the Kadokawa store jump like this, but the gambling agreement he proposed was okay!

For the corner and store, over the years, they have long felt that the traditional publishing industry will be a thing of the past, facing the twilight day by day. Therefore, as early as the "Corner ......" store, which has been publishing pictures for a long time, began to enter the film industry! However, after the gradual development of the Internet in the past few years, although the network has not developed much due to the closure of the market, they can already find the encroachment of various portals on the profits of the traditional newspaper industry by looking at the situation in Europe and the United States!

In this way, of course, the Kadokawa store has been thinking about how to increase the profit point. The route they chose before was multimedia, that is, transnationalization! For traditional enterprises, they always like to play happily in the local market behind closed doors. Even in the era of globalization, many well-known enterprises have retreated to play their own games on the island, and have not entered the track of globalization at all.

corner, the store is an alternative, and it actually went to Taiwan to open a branch. In such an alternative Kadokawa company, they have another plan, which is to enter the Chinese publishing market at a certain date. The executives of the store agreed that the Chinese market will be a very important and very large market in the future, especially after China's economy has been growing rapidly for n consecutive years.

Their original idea was to cooperate with some private publishing company in China and set up a joint venture subsidiary to run the mainland map publishing business. But today, they suddenly saw a new world from Wen Xun's gambling agreement!

Will this bet with well-known authors be a new way in the future? A new point of profit growth? In the future, when foreign plans are introduced into the market, can such similar VAM agreements be adopted?
