Chapter 72 Acquisition of the Publishing House
"Tianxia Weekly", which has broken free from the shackles of conspiracy, can be said to be quite powerful, and by the time it reached the third issue, the total sales finally surpassed that of "Fresh Weekly", reaching 50,000, and it is still growing at a slow rate, and the growth momentum seems to be faster than that of "Good News Magazine" a few months ago.
In fact, compared with other comic magazines, the growth of "Fresh Weekly" is not slow, after all, Huang Yulang's new comic "Drunken Fist" is also a classic Hong Kong comic in later generations. It's just that it is undoubtedly a notch behind "Tianxia Weekly", which includes "Football Player" and "Chinese Hero".
When Huang Yulang saw "Fresh Weekly", his face was naturally not very good-looking, although he expected it to become like this, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. He knew in his heart that the wings of the World Comics Company were beginning to gradually plump, and they were no longer able to suppress at will as they were at the beginning.
That is, when the world's comic companies gradually gained a foothold, and finally began to have cartoonists start to contribute, although they are all some cartoonists who are not well-known, but they are better than nothing.
Although these cartoonists are relatively ordinary, they can make Zhao Chen's next plan go smoothly, that is, to fill in the "Tianxia Daily"; If there is no work of these cartoonists to fill in, "Tianxia Daily" will only have Shangguan Xiaobao's "Bruce Lee", which can only be distributed in the form of a weekly magazine.
But with the contributions of these ordinary cartoonists, "Tianxia Daily" already has the ability to do it every day, most of these cartoonists originally belonged to the Holy Fire Publishing House, and after seeing that Tianxia Comic Company had successfully gained a foothold, they came here to submit articles because of Shangguan Xiaobao. Among them are Huang Weizhao, Huang Guoxing, Xie Zhirong and Zhao Rude, these four later achievements are limited, and the biggest achievement is Zhao Rude, who is known as De!
Although the people who joined were relatively ordinary cartoonists, the most important thing for a comic company is to have enough ordinary cartoonists, otherwise even if Zhao Chen, Shangguan Xiaobao and Ma Rongcheng have limited achievements, and at the same time, this has also increased the momentum of the world's comic companies in the industry.
"Tianxia Daily" belongs to the daily comic daily, but it is not low, after all, there is "Bruce Lee" to take charge, and the first issue of the line exceeded 20,000 copies, which shows how strong the momentum of "Bruce Lee" is in Xiangjiang. Now with the contributions of these ordinary cartoonists, "Tianxia Daily" can finally operate normally, although other comics are relatively ordinary, but "Bruce Lee", a classic comic, has undoubtedly driven the sales of ordinary comics, making the sales of "Tianxia Daily" grow rapidly.
The profit of "Tianxia Daily" is not as good as that of comic magazines, but the nature of the two is different, and comic daily can undoubtedly allow Tianxia Comics Company to have a certain right to speak in Xiangjiang, and having the advantage of public opinion is bound to avoid some conspiracies. In other words, when the sales of "Tianxia Daily" increased rapidly, Tianxia Comics Company not only increased its momentum again, but also began to stabilize its foundation.
Even so, "Tianxia Daily" has brought Zhao Chen a lot of profits every day, perhaps far inferior to comic magazines in terms of profits, but "Tianxia Daily" is a daily business, and it is not the same concept as a weekly comic weekly. In terms of overall profits, it can be said that it is not worse than "Tianxia Weekly", if it were not for the profits of "Bruce Lee" to be handed over to Shangguan Xiaobao, the profits brought by it would inevitably exceed that of "Tianxia Weekly"! This is the main reason why there are far more comic magazines in Xiangjiang Comics Daily than comic magazines.
But this is only the current form, when more and more exquisite comic magazines appear in the future, the consumer's vision will also be higher and higher, and the time will inevitably turn the market, after all, the quality of comic magazines is stronger than that of comic daily newspapers, and it is easier to collect.
What Zhao Chen can do is to make a fortune while the comic daily newspaper has not yet declined, and then transform into a comic magazine model if the comic daily newspaper is not good.
In the World Comics Company, Zhao Chen came to Shangguan Xiaobao and opened his mouth to say something that surprised Shangguan Xiaobao.
"Uncle Shangguan, I'm going to buy a publishing house, but I still need Uncle Shangguan's help!"
"Isn't that too fast? Although the exhibition has brought a lot of profits to the company after this period of exhibition, even if the acquisition of a small publishing house is at least more than one million! ”
Shangguan Xiaobao concealed the surprise in his heart, he actually knew in his heart that this step would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, you must know that the world comic company has only been established for two months.
In two months, there were eight issues of "Tianxia Weekly" and dozens of issues of "Tianxia Daily", although the sales were very good, but after all, it was published at its own expense, and the publishing house naturally occupied a part of the profits, and the remaining part was the Tianxia Comics Company.
This part of the profit adds up to just over 500,000 yuan, which is still for the sake of Xiangjiang, which means that there is only these funds on the books of the world's comic company.
"Uncle Shangguan, I know this! However, it is not possible to hand over a part of the profits to other publishers at a time, which will inevitably strictly restrict the company's exhibition. Although the funds on the company's books are not enough, I personally have nearly one million funds, and the acquisition of a small publishing house is enough. But this is not my goal, I want to acquire a medium-sized publishing house with a certain scale, so I need Uncle Shangguan's help! ”
The reason why publishing houses are so expensive, in addition to the frames and talents that have been purchased, the most expensive are naturally those printing presses.
At this time, the sales of "Tianxia Weekly" and "Tianxia Daily" were no longer able to be maintained by a small publishing house, and if they wanted to produce and sell themselves, they would inevitably need a medium-sized publishing house of a certain scale, so that they could completely control the profits of publishing.
At this time, it is already late autumn, and it has been more than four months since the release of "The Legend of the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", in which "The Legend of the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" has published four novels and comic monographs, which has brought Zhao Chen a steady stream of profits, coupled with the accumulated remuneration, Zhao Chen has almost become a millionaire in a short period of time!
"Do you want me to contribute or borrow money?"
Shangguan Xiaobao's hand holding the teacup shook slightly, and he pretended not to care and said, in fact, only he knew what he thought in his heart.
"Borrowed money, of course!"
What Zhao Chen wants is to completely control the publishing house, that is, to control all the profits of the publishing house in his own hands, after all, the publishing house is different from the comic company, and it is much higher than the comic company in terms of profits, and Zhao Chen is naturally reluctant to give up this piece of fat.
When Zhao Chen said this, Shangguan Xiaobao was naturally a little disappointed in his heart, and the huge interests were at the forefront, even if he had no ideas, he would be moved in his heart. In the comic book industry, the publishing house can be said to hold the largest part of the profits, as long as the comic company has enough sales, then the profits will be endless.
The World Comics Company has been established for more than two months, but the achievements are enough to shock people in the comic industry, not only successfully gaining a foothold, but also faintly having the potential to compete with Yulang International Co., Ltd. and Shenghuo Publishing House.
But potential is not ability, having a publishing house can be said to be the most important part of a comic company, as long as you have your own publishing house, then the world's comic company can have enough ability, otherwise it is all nonsense. This is also the reason why Zhao Chen is so anxious, especially when he sees a large amount of profits that originally belonged to him flowing into other people's pockets, that kind of pain can only be understood by the person concerned.
Although Shangguan Xiaobao was reluctant in his heart, he still knew the pros and cons, even if he didn't lend the money to Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen could also go to Jin Yong or Shao Yifu, instead of this, it was better to lend the money to Zhao Chen, and he could get a lot of favors, why not! As for whether Zhao Chen has the ability to repay the money, he doesn't have to think about it through his brain.
"Yes, how much do you want to borrow, let's talk about it first, your Uncle Shangguan is not a bank, and I can't afford to pay too much!"
Hearing Shangguan Xiaobao's agreement, Zhao Chen showed a smile on his face, this may owe Shangguan Xiaobao a favor, but it can also further deepen the relationship between the two.
"That's the number!" Zhao Chen stretched out two fingers and wanted to buy a medium-sized publishing house, but his little money was far from enough.
"Two million!"
Looking at Zhao Chen's outstretched two fingers, Shangguan Xiaobao fell into deep thought, he is indeed rich, just one "Bruce Lee" has brought him millions of profits, not to mention that he was a shareholder of the Holy Flame Publishing House before he jumped ship, so he was naturally not short of money.
Shangguan Xiaobao is rich, but it is also a little difficult for him to come up with two million at once, which makes him a little embarrassed.
"Okay, but it's going to take a little time to raise money!"
Shangguan Xiaobao finally agreed to lend Zhao Chen so much money, after all, Zhao Chen not only has enough ability to repay, but also his current boss!
"It's really good, then it's troublesome Uncle Shangguan! And Uncle Shangguan, if you have time, help me look at those medium-sized publishing houses in Chai Wan, it's best to help set up a plan! ”
"This one is relieved!"
