Chapter 406: Joining Forces?
This meeting was very successful, and it is impossible not to succeed, because the net profit of the sword qi in the past six months is indeed very impressive! When Zhao Yan bought this station last year, Youjian Qi was still operating at a loss, and Jin Jianhu, the boss of Jianqi at that time, had already lost confidence in Youjian Qi, and he didn't have more money to continue to fill this bottomless pit, so he sold it to Zhao Yan at a low price. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Now, in just one year, the net profit in the last half year has exceeded five million, if Jin Jianhu hears about this profit, I wonder if he will regret not being able to eat for a few days?
Anyway, Zhao Yan's mood is very good, the company, both new and old employees, feel excited, and have confidence in the future of the sword, so that everyone from the boss to the employees is satisfied, how can such a mid-year summary meeting not be successful?
The good atmosphere at the meeting continued to the celebration banquet after the meeting, everyone smiled, cups came and went, as the boss Zhao Yan and editor-in-chief Wang Qin, the director of the technical department Xi Jian, the director of the copyright department Zheng Houwen, and the technical backbone Tan Jun all ushered in the situation of alcohol test.
Almost everyone toasted to them, Zhao Yan drank okay, saw that the wind was not right, and also paid attention to controlling the amount of drink every time he accepted a toast, so he didn't make a fool of himself at the wine table, Wang Qin usually directly manages the entire company, majestic and prosperous, no matter who toasts him, he doesn't dare to force him, basically the toaster did it, he is casual, so he is not drunk, Xi Jian is relatively low-key, and he usually doesn't talk much in the company, so he doesn't drink much today.
As a result, Zheng Houwen, the new director of the copyright department, attracted most of the firepower, and everyone frequently toasted him, seeing that he attracted everyone's firepower, Zhao Yan and Wang Qin and others did not go to "rescue", but watched the play on the side, smiling.
"Director Zheng! I remember you said you like to drink! Come on, come on! Done, done! You like to drink, you have to drink well! No, no, no! If I did it, you have to do it! ”
"Director Zheng! Come! I'll toast you too! In the past six months, under your leadership, the copyright department has achieved such fruitful results, and I would like to toast you on behalf of all colleagues in the company! This cup must be dry! On behalf of all my colleagues, I respect you! Ay...... That's right! Pretty! Well done! ”
"Director Zheng! Come on! Let's have a drink! Director Zheng! Let me tell you, you were deceived by Xu Shun just now! "This is Su Junyu.
Zheng Houwen scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Why did Xu Shun lie to me?" ”
Xu Shun also sat on the side with a smile at this time and watched what Su Junyu said, and everyone's attention was attracted.
Su Junyu held a wine glass and said to Zheng Houwen seriously: "Xu Shun is not President Zhao or Editor-in-Chief Wang!" He is not qualified to represent all his colleagues in the company at all! Did you say you were deceived by him just now? ”
Zheng Houwen was stunned, the others laughed, and Xu Shun, who was sitting next to him, also shrugged his shoulders with laughter.
Su Junyu was not finished yet, raised the wine glass in front of Zheng Houwen, and shouted boldly: "Come!" Director Zheng! I don't lie to you! I don't speak for anyone else, I say I toast you on my own behalf! What if you could afford me! Just do it with me, otherwise, I'll do it, you can do it! ”
After speaking, without waiting for Zheng Houwen, who reacted, to defend himself, Su Junyu raised his neck and drank all the wine in the cup, and then showed the empty bottom of the cup to Zheng Houwen, and looked at Zheng Houwen without speaking.
Zhao Yan can actually roughly guess why everyone is toasting Zheng Houwen today.
There are probably several reasons: first, Zheng Houwen joined Youjian Qi later, and served as the director of Youjian Qi's copyright department as soon as he came, although he used to be a senior editor of Oracle and was poached by Wang Qin with a high salary, but there are still many people in the company who are jealous in their hearts, jealous that he will climb to their heads as soon as he comes, and they are also jealous of his high salary.
You must know that Zheng Houwen's current salary in the company is on par with that of the editor-in-chief Wang Qin.
Second, his qualifications as a leader are shallower than other leaders, although he has led the copyright department in the past few months to achieve brilliant results and remarkable results, but this is only a performance, but his prestige has not yet been established, so everyone dares to toast him and dare to focus their firepower on him.
Third, probably because he said in the company before that he likes to drink, coupled with his eight-sided and exquisite personality, everyone dares to coax.
……
Halfway through, Zhao Yan went to the bathroom to come out, and when he washed his hands next to the pool, Fan Long also came out of the bathroom, and while the two were washing their hands, Fan Long asked Zhao Yan: "Ah Yan!" When are you going to go home this summer? ”
Zhao Yan finished washing his hands, put his hands under the dryer to dry the water stains on his hands, thought about it and said, "Tomorrow!" Go home for a while, if there is something on the company's side, rush back, if it's okay, I'll stay at home for the rest of the summer! ”
Fan Long glanced at him, just washed his hands and gave a thumbs up.
"You're still chic! You are a beautiful shopkeeper! ”
Zhao Yan smiled and did not refute.
In the company, he has always disliked to meddle too much, he is self-aware, he has little experience and little confidence in managing the company, and it is more reliable to hand it over to a professional like Wang Qin.
Besides, Wang Qin has done a good job this year, and he has no need to interfere, if he has any opinions, he mentioned it to Wang Qin, and Wang Qin has not failed to implement it.
Moreover, he didn't go home for half a year, and he did feel a little homesick.
Thinking about his own bed in the attic at home, thinking about the balcony outside the attic, and the dishes made by his mother, he ate more and more times in the hotel, but Zhao Yan found more and more that only the dishes made by his mother were the most suitable for his appetite.
No matter how exquisite the dishes in the hotel are, I always feel that there is a feeling missing.
When I left from the bathroom, I happened to see Wang Qin also walking over here, Zhao Yan smiled and nodded with Wang Qin, and Fan Long also smiled and said hello: "Editor-in-chief Wang also came to the bathroom, right?" ”
"yes!"
Wang Qin responded to Fan Long with a smile, hesitated, stood still, and said to Zhao Yan: "Mr. Zhao! Can you wait for me a moment here? There's one more thing I'd like to report to you separately! ”
"Oh?"
Zhao Yan was a little surprised, glanced at Fan Long beside him, Fan Long was slightly stunned, saw Zhao Yan's eyes looking at him, and immediately came to his senses and said with a smile: "Ah! Then Ah Yan, I'll go first! You two bosses will have a good chat in a while! ”
"Okay!"
Zhao Yan smiled and patted Fan Long's shoulder and watched Fan Long leave. Wang Qin said to Zhao Yan again: "Wait for me!" He walked briskly into the bathroom.
What does Wang Qin want to report to me? Why didn't you say anything at the meeting just now?
Zhao Yan thoughtfully walked to the vacant seat next to him and sat down, which was a double table near the window and about ten meters away from the cash register.
While guessing in his heart, he subconsciously took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and when he was about to light it, he happened to see a waiter passing by, Zhao Yan raised his hand and shouted.
"Hey! Hello! Please bring me a pot of tea! Two cups! Thank you! ”
The waiter was stunned for a moment, and immediately agreed with a smile on his face.
"Okay! Wait! ”
Zhao Yan waited here for a few puffs of cigarettes, Wang Qin shook the water droplets in his hand, walked out of the bathroom quickly, looked left and right at the door of the bathroom, and saw Zhao Yan sitting on the seat by the window, so he walked over quickly with a smiling face.
When sitting down opposite Zhao Yan, Wang Qin smiled and quipped: "Mr. Zhao! If you are seen by other colleagues who come to the bathroom, you will definitely think that you are deliberately hiding from drinking here! ”
Zhao Yan smiled.
"Then I'll tell them you're drinking in the bathroom!"
"Haha!"
Wang Qin was amused by Zhao Yan.
In the laughter, Zhao Yan picked up the cigarette case on the table, opened the lid and handed it to Wang Qin, Wang Qin thanked him, and naturally took out one from the box and put it in his mouth.
Zhao Yan didn't show any boss at this time, put down the cigarette case, Wang Qin reached into his trouser pocket and didn't find the lighter, Zhao Yan had already taken the lighter and lit the fire in front of him.
Wang Qin was a little surprised, and also smiled.
"Thank you! Flattered! ”
Wang Qin lit a cigarette against the fire and was about to speak, when the waiter brought the tea that Zhao Yan had just asked for.
Unhurriedly, he put down the tray and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Yan and Wang Qin respectively, and the waiter said "Please use it slowly" before turning around and leaving.
"What did you just say you want to tell me alone?"
Zhao Yan held a cigarette between the tips of his right fingers, brought the teacup to his mouth with his left hand, raised his eyes to Wang Qin and asked casually.
Wang Qin didn't serve tea, and after taking a puff of cigarette and spitting it out, he nodded and said, "Yes!" Mr. Zhao! Tianxia Book Club has given us a quote again! This time they offered more favorable conditions! ”
As he spoke, Wang Qin paid attention to Zhao Yan's expression.
"Oh?"
Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows a little unexpectedly, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, leaned back relaxedly, leaned back on the back of the chair, and asked with a smile: "Tell me about it!" What conditions did they set this time? ”
With the recent adaptation of one online novel after another into movies and TV series, not long ago, Wang Qin reported to Zhao Yan that the Tianxia Book Club offered 5 million, and wanted to buy Zhao Yan's sword energy.
5 million, the net profit of 5.22 million in the first half of the year summarized at today's mid-year meeting came out, and the 5 million offer of Tianxia Books not long ago became a complete joke.
If it was still about the same conditions, Zhao Yan would naturally not be able to agree.
At this time, Wang Qin still chose to report to him alone, Zhao Yan estimated that the price of the World Book Society should be raised by a few grades, otherwise, Wang Qin would have refused by himself, or just mention it to him on the phone, why is there any need to report to him alone here today?
Wang Qin smiled, raised his right hand, stretched out five fingers, and said, "50 million!" Mr. Zhao! The World Book Club has offered 50 million this time! Buy 90% of our shares, say you can keep 10% of the shares, and there will be dividends every year in the future! ”
"Huh!"
Zhao Yan was amused.
Pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray on the table, clapped his hands, and asked with a smile: "Do they know our net profit in the first half of this year?" 50 million 90% shares? Are they too shrewd? Or do you think I'm too stupid Zhao Yan? ”
Wang Qin also smiled, took a sip of the teacup, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao! I know this offer is too low! However, when they gave this offer, they didn't know that our net profit in the first half of this year exceeded 5 million! The reason why I am reporting this matter to you is because I think that Tianxia Book Society can offer an offer of 50 million 90% shares without knowing our profits in the first half of the year, which can at least show their sincerity! You must know that you have sword qi a year ago you bought at a price of only 350,000, and in a year's time, they first opened 5 million, and now they open 50 million 90% of the shares, which is enough to show their sincerity! ”
After patiently listening to Wang Qin's analysis, Zhao Yan picked up the teacup again, and while drinking slowly, he raised his eyes to carefully examine Wang Qin's expression, and at the same time, he also figured out in his heart the reason why Wang Qin spoke so for the World Book Society.
Is it that he wants to let Youjian Qi sell to the World Book Society, and he Wang Qin is so good to enjoy the shade under the big tree? Or did Tianxia Book Society give Wang Qin any promises, such as shares? Like high salaries? Or the middle fee, that's why Wang Qin is so helpful to the World Book Society?
Several thoughts appeared in Zhao Yan's mind one by one in the tea room, Wang Qin did not avoid Zhao Yan's gaze, and calmly let Zhao Yan's gaze scrutinize, from his face, Zhao Yan couldn't distinguish more emotions.
"What do you mean?"
Zhao Yan slowly put down the teacup and asked Wang Qin out of the corner of his eyes.
Wang Qin smiled slightly, met Zhao Yan's gaze, and said, "Mr. Zhao! Personally, I think it's an opportunity to work together! If it works well, we can take this opportunity to leap forward and completely distance ourselves from other similar paid reading websites! At least in three or two years, we will definitely not have any more opponents! ”
"Oh?"
Zhao Yan's eyes narrowed, he became a little interested, put his hands on the table, raised his chin, and said, "Tell me what you think!" What is the strong cooperation method? ”
Seeing that Zhao Yan was interested, Wang Qin was also in good spirits, put her arms on the table, leaned closer and whispered to Zhao Yan: "Mr. Zhao!" You want to! The World Book Club and Kyushu Reading are equally famous, second only to Oracle in terms of strength! And we have sword energy! It can also be said humbly,At present, it is already the leader in the same kind of paid reading website,If the two of us cooperate deeply,We have a lot of excellent works of sword energy,You can directly send it to the World Book Society for publishing,Other works that can be published or not,I think because of our partnership,It is likely that we can also get the World Book Society to publish! Moreover, in the process of cooperation, we can also attract many readers who originally only read the physical books of Tianxia Book Club to come to us! Right? ”
Zhao Yan nodded slightly and did not speak.
So Wang Qin continued: "And that's not all! As one of the top three publishing houses in the publishing industry, Tianxia Books has a lot of novel publishing contracts, and if we cooperate with them, we hope to get the electronic copyright of most of the signed authors' works in their hands, and we have the sword energy to sell them! There are not a few famous artists under the World Book Society! Mr. Zhao! If we can sign the electronic copyrights of those works of Tianxia Book Society, our monthly net profit will definitely increase again! ”
Zhao Yan was a little moved.
"How do you want to join forces with them? How do you join forces? (To be continued.) )
