Bang bang, early in the morning, Lee Chung-hee was woken up by a rough knock on the door, and Tony and Duncan were yelling outside.

Fortunately, with Son Ye-jin's phone call later, Lee Chung-hee slept fairly peacefully in the second half of the night, and although it was a little early at this time, he was not too sleepy.

"Hey, man, you didn't tell us before that you wrote another novel, wow, that's pretty cool!" When he got up, while he was washing, Duncan was crackling with his black rap.

Lee Chung-hee smiled, and after spitting out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, he shrugged, "If I don't make some money by selling books, how can I afford your high salary, as well as the operation of the company!" ”

Duncan rolled his eyes and punched him, "The Da Vinci Code" really surprised him, even their mentor Michael Morton did not expect it, extremely surprised, as for the whole of Harvard, it was also shocked by this thing.

After all, in the past two weeks or so, "The Da Vinci Code" has swept the entire United States, as well as the interview with the kid in front of him, speaking of which, this guy has become the focus of the whole United States, and he is very popular.

"Do you know what Professor Morton said?" Duncan shrugged, "He said you're a freak yourself, and you're just completely enlightened now!" ”

Over there, Tony was laughing, "Duncan, you're jealous of Vincent again, Professor Morton's exact words are that Vincent is a prodigy in his own right, and he will be a member of the Harvard Hall of Fame ......in the future." ”

After a short pause, watching Lee Chung-hee finish washing, he gave him a thumbs up, "The book is really good." Not only Professor Morton. It's the old stuff in the academy. Professors, including those in the Faculty of Letters, are saying that the book must be ...... Harvard's library collection. ”

"Thanks, buddy!" Lee Chung-hee smiled and high-fived him, and asked casually, "How are things going on the website?" ”

Tony laughed and joked with him, "I'm here to ask for money?" After that, he continued: "Now that it has begun, you can take a look, the specific operation, we have found a professional to do it." By the time you go to Harvard this time, you'll be able to see the whole team....... ”

Duncan also nodded, "There are only six people now, but that's enough for the time being, but, if you plan according to your ambitions, whether it will work in the end or not, but as long as you start out, it will definitely take a lot of money." ”

"I understand!" Lee Chung-hee nodded, then turned on the computer. Let's take a look at the prototype of Facebook first, it's very good. I basically have everything, I tried to operate it, and it felt very good, so I turned my head and said to them: "In the future, I will still build a new exhibition for you, and you need to dig new ideas to make this website continue to innovate and develop, so as to win the hearts of users." ”

After a pause, he thought about it and continued: "As for the money, you really don't have to worry, after the New Year's Day passes, I will inject 10 million US dollars at one time for your exhibition, of course, at that time, I will also let professional managers help you ......." ”

"What, ten million?" This time, even Tony was a little dumbfounded, even with the situation of Lee Chung-hee's family, 10 million is definitely not a small amount, not to mention, it would be good if it was invested in other projects, but now is the first year of the dissipation of the Internet bubble.

At this time, it is too late for countless capitals to escape from this industry.

"High risk means high profits, and only by seeing business opportunities that others can't see, can you earn the most benefits and even become a leader in the industry!" Lee Chung-hee only shrugged his shoulders at Tony's surprise, "I think, you are already familiar with these things, you don't need me to say more, of course, you must not only believe in me, but also believe in yourself, and what we are doing will definitely succeed......." ”

Duncan is a natural adventurer, otherwise, he would not have invested everywhere in his previous life to the point of bankruptcy, at this time, when he heard 10 million, he was more excited, and said: "Man, 10 million is a lot!" ”

Lee Chung-hee smiled, "The Da Vinci Code has sold more than 800,000 copies now, and by January next year, do you think one million copies will be a problem," Seeing Duncan shrug his shoulders and smile, "Then, if I sue you, Imperial Press is actually my company!" ”

"What?" At this time, Tony and Duncan were both surprised, then looked at each other, shook their heads with great emotion, and then laughed.

In the United States, a novel like "The Da Vinci Code" costs about $10 for the most common version, $30 to $50 for the hardcover, and nearly $100 or even 200 for the collector's edition.

And this time, "The Da Vinci Code" only has a hardcover and a collector's book, because Lee Chung-hee is not a famous novelist, so the price is $35.2 a copy, and the collector's edition is $89.9 a copy.

Even if the more than 800,000 copies are all hardcover, then the sales revenue is close to 30 million US dollars, but this is only the total revenue, and the publisher gives it to the bookstore, and the bookstore naturally needs channel sales expenses.

Generally speaking, the practice in book stores is that if the best-selling book is a new book, the publisher will give the bookstore a discount of six to seven percent, that is, about three to forty percent of the bookstore's profit.

Then, after the best-selling period, the discount at that time was 50% off or even a little lower, and the lowest was in stock, and it was not easy to sell, so it was generally one or two discounts, and it was normal to sell it even by the pound.

At present, for "The Da Vinci Code", the discount given by Imperial Press, to the largest Barnes and Noble bookstore chain in the United States is 60% off, and the others are generally 6.5% off or 7% off.

But even if it is six percent off, according to the current revenue, there is a net profit of 15 million US dollars, of course, more importantly, if the copyright of the book is sold to a publishing house, according to the royalty commission, the author will only get a dozen percent at most, and then, the amount he gets is only a few million US dollars.

But now it's different, the publishing company is its own, so the more than 10 million is all its own, and this is just the beginning.

"Alright, you kid!" Duncan put his arm around Lee Chung-hee's shoulders affectionately and smiled. "We won't talk about the rest. Mr. Multimillionaire. Isn't it time for the two of us to go up on our salaries! ”

Tony over there shook his head with a smile, but stared at Lee Chung-hee, "Vincent, what's the matter with the professional manager you just mentioned?" ”

This is not a simple question, and Lee Chung-hee also answered very carefully, "Remember, Tony, this matter is still dominated by you and Duncan." Professional managers are used to help us handle the trivial matters of the company, including administrative, financial, legal, and other ....... ”

Tony understood, and also looked at Lee Chung-hee and smiled, "I actually didn't mean that, you know, I'm not good at managing companies!" ”

Lee Chung-hee also smiled and jokingly said, "If you can't do it, let's learn it first, anyway, I can't find anyone now." You coolie don't have to be in vain. "This kid is learning financial management, and he is calm and smart. He's just an opportunity.

Then, he slapped Duncan's chest next to him, "It's Duncan, he's really not suitable for management, he's suitable for venture capital ......." ”

"Hey, man, you're underestimating me!" Duncan smiled, "But honestly, you kid really understands my heart!" Then his eyes were fixed on him, "However, I don't have any money to be a venture capitalist!" ”

Lee Chung-hee and Tony both laughed, and after the former gave him another punch, he said indifferently: "You should honestly finish your studies now!" ”

"Wow, you look like my dad!" Duncan grinned and ran away, he and Tony had come from Boston, and now they were hungry, so they picked up the phone in the living room and called for breakfast.

Today's signing event will not start until nine o'clock, and it is not yet eight o'clock, Lee Chung-hee sat leisurely on the sand, chatting with Tony, and entered the official website of the savage girlfriend, now it is night in South Korea, but he is not here to chat, but intends to leave a message to Ha Ji Won.

Ha Ji Won has an account in this and has joined a fan club, which is something that he and Son Ye-jin know, and Son Ye-jin also has it, and everyone is still chatting on it when they are usually busy.

After yesterday's incident, although Ha Ji Won suddenly ate, he was still very sorry, but just when he was about to leave a message, he hesitated again.

He didn't call because he heard Ha Ji Won's extremely cold voice yesterday, but there was another point that he was afraid that he would make Ha Ji Won feel recurrent because of this, but the message was different.

With this mood, he frowned, and Tony, who was looking at him, couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing?" Li Zhengxi smiled helplessly, this thing is not easy to tell them, after shrugging his shoulders, he gritted his teeth, and still wrote, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, and I don't dare to expect you to forgive, I just hope that you can ...... well." ”

wrote, but felt that it was too bad, or messy, or that there was no way to express it at all, so he deleted it again and wrote again: "I'm sorry, I wish you a good ......." ”

It's just that it's too simple, as if it's perfunctory, which makes him distressed again, and Tony on the other side can't help but come over, but he can't read Korean, but he suddenly looked at Lee Chung-hee, "Hey, man, to be honest, you're not out of love like this, right?" ”

Lee Chung-hee was dumbfounded, then smiled helplessly, and after thinking about it, Tony and Duncan's relationship with him was really the same as that of brothers, so he finally said vaguely: "Well, how to say, if a man has a girlfriend, but another confidante who is very good with him falls in love with him again, he refuses, and it hurts the woman's heart, and the woman is very painful ......." ”

Hahahaha! Duncan laughed heartlessly over there, and even Tony patted him on the shoulder, "Man, everyone knows that this person is talking about you," and paused, "It turns out that you're a rookie in terms of relationships now!" ”

"Say sorry, why say sorry," Duncan said in a down-to-the-box manner, "You should love him, man, you know what, loving her is the best answer to her!" ”

"Get out!" Li Zhengxi rolled his eyes helplessly, but Tony also smiled: "To be honest, I'm jealous, but since you want to say sorry, I want to think about it, perhaps, you should say: I'm sorry, I don't dare to ask for forgiveness, I only dare to tell you this, I wish you ......well." ”

Hahaha, Duncan laughed again, and looked disdainful: "You two rookies, listen to me, you should say this, you know, dear, I'm really sorry, you are all I have, I also cry bitterly when I see you sad, please forgive me, I am willing to pay a price to make you smile again, so that my heart will be calm, and then smile with you......." ”

"Get out!" This time, Tony couldn't stand it anymore, however, Lee Chung-hee suddenly frowned, and thought of a sentence from Duncan's words. "If you're well, it's a sunny day!"

After thinking about it, he wrote down very decisively, "If you're okay, it's a sunny day!" He didn't write anything else, like an apology or anything like that, just this sentence.

Tony couldn't understand it, and asked curiously, Li Zhengxi didn't hide it, and explained, at this time, Duncan said disdainfully: "Man, that's what I just said!" ”

Lee Chung-hee gave him a kick angrily, but Tony frowned, "Wouldn't it be too ...... Anyway, it feels like a lover's statement, so wouldn't it be more troublesome? ”

Li Zhengxi smiled, "It is true, but the mood is different, and the feeling will be different, not to mention, it is superfluous to say too much at this time!" ”

After speaking, he pressed the table key very firmly...... (To be continued!)
