Chapter 159: The Road Ahead

"The plan that my company has made so far is like this......" Listening to the explanation of the staff of Kadokawa Bookstore, Wen Xun looked at the plan in his hand.

It turned out that the idea of Kadokawa Bookstore was that they would contribute 9.8 million yuan, accounting for 49 shares, and Wen Xun's side would account for 51 shares, which needed to be 10.2 million yuan. In this way, the total investment amount is around 20 million, which is enough to lay a good foundation for future development.

Wen Xun has no opinion on this funding plan. Anyway, this is just a joint venture subsidiary, although the assets of this subsidiary seem to be much higher than the parent company, but after all, they are all dishes in Wen Xun's bowl.

"For this joint venture, we would like to explicitly add the word Kadokawa, but of course, because you have invested a lot of money, your name should be placed in front of Kadokawa...... "Koichi Sekiguchi said through an interpreter.

Wen Xun nodded, since Kadokawa Bookstore cooperated with him, it was impossible for him not to let the family hang up their names. In addition, Kadokawa Shoten has a good reputation, and in general, it is good for everyone if you put your name on it. However, at this time, Wen Xun considered another problem.

That's the publishing house he just started, should he change his name? When he contracted a publishing house in Lanyang before, Wen Xun suggested changing the name of the publishing house to "Rotten Keyuan". It is an allusion to watching chess for thousands of years and the axe is rotten.

At that time, I hoped to get a book that made readers fascinated after reading the book of Rotten Ke Yuan, and when they woke up, they were shocked to realize that the world had passed a thousand years. But now that he thinks about it, he begins to wonder if he's hiding this allusion too deeply.

Because Lu Yuqing knew that the three words "Rotten Keyuan" were suggested by Wen Xun, she also curiously asked Wen Xun why he chose such a strange name......

"It's a weird name...... It's a strange name...... Son, take me away."

Wen Xun's mood at that time was really the above sentence, Wen Xun couldn't believe it at that time, a lady like Lu Yuqing, a girl from such a big family, didn't know the allusion of Rotten Ke? Still think it's a bad name?

After being depressed at the time, it was okay, and later Wen Xun began to think about whether the allusion to the name was too deep, and began to think about whether to change the name of the publishing house in his hand. However, just go back and discuss such a thing with Lan Yang and the others, there is no need to think about it on this occasion.

When Wen Xun gathered his thoughts, he only heard the employee of Kadokawa Bookstore saying: "Our company has gone through a thorough market research in advance, and found that EVA, that is, the animation of "Neon Genesis Evangelion", has a very large influence in China, so our company is ready to deploy various resources about "Neon Genesis Evangelion" in Japan to test the ...... of the mainland market."

Hearing this, Wen Xun was shocked. He didn't expect Kadokawa Bookstore to investigate in such detail, although Wen Xun is not an ACG otaku, and he doesn't seem to be interested in anime and comics. But there are a lot of people around him who like anime and comics, and in the previous semester, he often heard Li Liuyun discussing with other classmates about what Ling Boli and Asuka are the heroines.

"Well, after signing the contract, I hope you will tell me your plan in detail." Wen Xun nodded and said. The main purpose of today's negotiations is to discuss the establishment of a subsidiary with joint investment, not to discuss how to operate the subsidiary after the establishment of the subsidiary.

"Okay, my company hopes that after the establishment of the joint venture company, we can appoint Japanese personnel to take charge of these positions," he said, and the international student employee of Kadokawa Bookstore handed Wen Xun a piece ......of printer paper.

Wen Xun took a look and found out what kind of deputy positions were such as vice president, deputy director of the finance department, and deputy director of the personnel department. He agreed. After all, no matter what, Hitokadogawa Bookstore has contributed people, resources, and money, and it is impossible for someone who does not have a position for them at all, right?

Although the positions of these departments are considered to be the key departments of a company - what department does a company ultimately want? One hand of financial power, one hand of personnel power. When a boss controls a company, he relies on the rights of two aspects to control the company. If someone else has these two rights, then they can casually set up the boss.

But after all, Kadokawa Bookstore also paid a lot of money, and it was impossible for the vital department not to even put an eyeliner in it. If you really don't let go of an eyeliner, then Kadokawa Bookstore probably won't be able to survive to this day.

Soon, the two parties reached a consensus on the terms of the joint venture to establish a subsidiary, and the next step was to prepare for the signing.

In fact, if Kadokawa Shoten had negotiated a joint venture with another publishing house to establish a subsidiary, it would not have gone so smoothly. It's just that Wen Xun's light is too dazzling, and after entering the Japanese market, he has not only proved his ability to write books, but also proved his ability to market and hype.

You know, among Japanese publishing houses, no one dares to claim to be the number one in terms of hype ability, except for Kadokawa Shoten

Since the ability to hype is the first, it proves that Kadokawa Bookstore attaches great importance to hype and marketing. Now after seeing that Wen Xun's marketing ability is so strong, and the market they are going to enter is still Wen Xun's home field, they will naturally be full of sincerity for cooperation.

Soon, Wen Xun signed a contract with Kadokawa Bookstore. After signing the contract, Wen Xun and his entourage Lan Yang, Lu Yuqing and others attended the celebration reception held by Kadokawa Bookstore.

"I didn't expect this contract to be signed so smoothly, I didn't expect the little devils to mention the harsh conditions at all, I don't feel like their character......" Lan Yang whispered to Wen Xun while eating.

But before Wen Xun could speak, he only heard Lu Yuqing interject: "That's when we Wen Xun proved himself before, how harsh were their terms last time we slapped them in the face?" Kindness? At that time, it was deceived by the possibility of publishing in the Japanese market. If Wen Xun hadn't slapped their faces with his grades, they would have been so polite today? When she said this, her face was full of disdain and pride. Disdain is naturally for little devils, and pride is naturally for Wen Xun.

"Hehe, in fact, more mature business negotiations are like this. When you don't have the strength, the other party will definitely try their best to squeeze the oil and water out of you. When you have the strength and can pick and choose, the other party will definitely be sincere......" Wen Xun said with a smile. "Actually, don't say it's me, it's the same when Jackie Chan was in the United States. At the beginning, he went to the United States in the 80s to make a movie called "Killer Trench", and when he made that movie, the Yankees simply didn't treat him as a star, he had to take care of everything, and he was not allowed to do anything. As a result, after more than ten years, now that he is going to the United States to film "Rush Hour", does the Yankees still dare to look at people with their noses? ”

"That's ......" Lan Yang nodded and said, after thinking for a while, he suddenly asked Wen Xun: "By the way, Wen Xun, what are we going to do next?" You can't just set up a subsidiary and then do nothing, right? You can't just help them with Kadokawa Bookstore's "Neon Genesis Evangelion", right? ”

"Well, the matter of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" is to test the water in China and see how the consumption power of the domestic youth market is. If it can be proved that the domestic market still has a certain scale, it is estimated that Kadokawa Bookstore will release all the resources in their hands one after another. Anyway, they have already been sinicized in Taiwan, as long as they are translated into simplified Chinese and some of the characteristic colloquialisms in Taiwanese Chinese are removed, they can basically get a hairstyle in the mainland, and there is no trouble...... "Wen Xun said, "At the same time, this is also our opportunity." ”

"Our chance?" Lan Yang said a little confused, but suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and immediately asked: "You mean, we can also take this route that is very closely related to anime in the mainland?" ”

"Yes," Wen Xun nodded, "If they do well after testing the waters, I plan to use the next book to target the youth market even more." ”

Although Wen Xun is now writing "The Alchemist of Steel" is aimed at the youth market, the worldview in the whole novel is relatively dark, and it can be said that the protagonist is pursuing the light the size of a firefly in the dark. In fact, novels with such a worldview are more suitable for adults. In other words, it is more suitable for people who have experienced the warmth and coldness of the world.

"Basically, in the second half of the year, we will go several ways at the same time." Wen Xun thought about it and said to Lan Yang and Lu Yuqing.

He used to bury this kind of thing in his heart, but now that the company's structure has risen and his career has started, he should talk to these two left and right hands about his thoughts. "One way is to see how Fullmetal Alchemist works in Japan, and if the manga works well, then the animation and the like will have to be scheduled. The other way is to consider the issue of writing studios. From now on, I'll only be responsible for the outline, plot points, and final revisions, and I'll leave the usual writing work to the people in the studio......"

"Studio?" Lu Yuqing's eyes widened and asked.

"Yes, it's just to get on the industrial production line of writing, and it's too late for me to write alone. Because I'm ready to think about how to bring another signature dish to our company in addition to Fullmetal Alchemist," Wen Xun said.

It turns out that Wen Xun wants to open several books at the same time? Lan Yang thought in surprise at this time. However, after thinking about it for a few seconds, he also agreed with Wen Xun's approach. Now Wenxun is a signboard, or a brand. After having a brand, it is natural to increase production and open up multiple profit points while ensuring quality, so as to make the whole business bigger and bigger.

Although this studio sounds like it's synonymous with finding a gunman. But who says you can't find a gunman? Gu Long, who writes martial arts novels, is still looking for a gunman openly, and Jin Yong also asked Ni Kuang to help him write a plot on his behalf.
