Pioneer Publishing House originally mainly received Huang Yulang's orders to live, but since Huang Yulang founded Yulang International Co., Ltd. half a year ago, with his own publishing house, the director zhì Pioneer Publishing House has been extremely affected, and the business in the past six months has not even been able to maintain the most basic.

The owner of Pioneer Press is an elderly man in his late teens, wearing a pair of reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes are full of tiredness. The publishing house has had a hard time recently, as the owner of the publishing house, the old man thinks about ways every day, but he can't think of good ideas, and it is difficult to maintain his energy when he is old, so it can be said that the old man is having a bad time these days.

After Zhao Chen and the others expressed their intentions, the old man's eyes obviously showed a happy expression, which made Zhao Chen and the others, who had been observing him, couldn't help but move, there was a play!

The old man hid his inner joy, as the president of the pioneer publishing house, he naturally knew quite well the current situation faced by the publishing house, and to put it mildly, it would not last long. Pioneer Publishing House, which lost Huang Yulang's order, could not fill the huge vacancy in a short period of time, and had to sell it.

However, the old man still has some thoughts about Pioneer Press, especially the reluctant employees inside, most of these employees are older employees, if they lose this job, it will be difficult to find a new one at their age. Although I want to sell Pioneer Publishing House, I am afraid that Zhao Chen will lay off employees after the publishing house changes hands!

"It's okay to sell, but there's a requirement!"

Hearing the old man say this, Zhao Chen couldn't help but glance at Shangguan Xiaobao, or Shangguan Xiaobao took the lead and asked, "Old man, I don't know what the requirements are?" ”

"These old fellows are quite skilled workers, if you want to buy Pioneer Press, the premise is that you can't lay off employees at will, so I can agree to sell Pioneer Press!"

"This ......" Shangguan Xiaobao also hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but set his eyes on Zhao Chen, the decision in this regard can only be decided by Zhao Chen, he can't be the master.

Zhao Chen didn't speak, but looked at those employees, maybe the Pioneer Publishing House was more idle these days, but these old employees didn't have lazy behavior, and the operating machine qì was quite skilled, and it was better than the Galloping Horse Publishing House in Su zhì.

If you want to maintain a publishing house, the younger the staff, the better, the younger the representative, the more energetic, but the experience is undoubtedly better than the old staff.

"As long as they don't make mistakes, that's fine, but if they're past retirement age, that's another story."

The old man was obviously surprised, he didn't expect Zhao Chen to make a decision so quickly, but because of this, he was relieved. After all, with Zhao Chen's fame, it is impossible to be perfunctory at will.

"If you really want to buy it, I can give you two plans, because the land here is my own. If you want to buy the land with you, I can give you a good price; If you don't bring the land, if you are really sincere, you only need to pay 3.5 million. ”

The old man lifted his glasses, his heart was full of nervousness, he was afraid that the price would be too high and scare away Zhao Chen, so he didn't say the price of the first plan.

Zhao Chen looked at the Pioneer Publishing House, the Pioneer Publishing House and the Galloping Horse Publishing House are about the same size, not only is the machine relatively new, but the bid is lower than the Galloping Horse Publishing House, if you want to choose, it is undoubtedly the Pioneer Publishing House. But Zhao Chen still wanted to ask about the price of the first plan, after all, it was too troublesome to rent a factory, except for the period of Sino-British negotiations, the land would continue to rise in the future.

The land of Pioneer Publishing House is located on the edge of Chai Wan, but Chai Wan is one of the best choices for setting up a factory after all, and the land will not depreciate.

Zhao Chen's heart also has a plan, after more than two months of exhibition, the studio of the world comic company is now starting to look a little small, and I am afraid that it will become quite crowded in the near future. If he has the land of Pioneer Publishing House, Zhao Chen can build another layer and move the world comic company here. This is not only convenient for office, but also solves the hidden danger after the expansion of the comic company!

"Sir, how much does the first plan cost?"

The old man was obviously stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he still said: "This is a remote location, and the price of the land is naturally not expensive, but this piece of land is more than 200 square meters, even if it is cheap, there is a limit!" Well, for the sake of what you just agreed to ask, as long as you give another two million, it will be all yours from now on! ”

"Add two million, that's five and a half million!" Zhao Chen secretly said in his heart, his mind entered contemplation, such a high price would be a big burden for him.

In fact, because he wanted to get rid of it in a hurry, the old man did give Zhao Chen a lot of discounts, otherwise even if it was relatively remote here, the land would not be so cheap.

Zhao Chen finally decided to buy it with the land, but the price still needs to be negotiated slowly, and it can be reduced a little bit.

gestured to Shangguan Xiaobao next to him with his eyes, Shangguan Xiaobao comprehended, and began to wave his eloquence to bargain from all aspects of the defects.

The old man has been in the mall for so many years, and he is also good at arguing with words, and the two of them tried their best to wield their eloquence, and finally set the price at five million!

This price is still very expensive for Zhao Chen, but it is less than 500,000 yuan, not to mention that having a publishing house in his hand will be of great help to his accumulation of money, as long as he is given a certain amount of time, the money will be earned soon.

"Sir, can I pay in two installments? It's really shy in my pocket, so I can only pay three million for the time being, and the other two million will be paid off next year, please forgive me! ”

As Zhao Chen said, he couldn't pay so much money for the time being, and he was reluctant to borrow money from others, so he would inevitably fall into favor, so he had to resort to the trick of installment payment.

The old gentleman paused for a moment, and then nodded with a smile, as the president of the Pioneer Publishing House, he naturally knew Zhao Chen's ability quite well, and only two million could not defeat the demonic young man in front of him.

After the two signed several contracts, Pioneer Publishing House successfully changed hands and became owned by Zhao Chen.

After having the Pioneer Publishing House in his hand, Zhao Chen took over the magazines and daily newspapers of the World Comics Company as soon as possible, which greatly saved costs, and of course, also pitted the publishing house that was originally published at his own expense.

After the acquisition, Zhao Chen went to various departments to go through some procedures, and finally started to build another layer on the basis of the original Pioneer Publishing House.

It's just that in this way, Zhao Chen's pockets are more and more shy, and it is really these big moves that have made him not only invest all the money he has earned in the past few months, but also owe a lot of debts.

In the next few days, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" once again brought Zhao Chen a lot of surprises, but this time the locations were Nanyang and Treasure Island, the novel versions in these two regions sold significantly more, and the four single novels sold a total of 600,000 copies in two places, and the royalties and agency fees alone brought Zhao Chen more than one million benefits, if you add more than 300,000 copies of the comic version, even if you subtract the tax, Zhao Chen has nearly 1.5 million in the account, which can be said to be a lot of money, which greatly delays the shortage of capital chains.

As for the sales of the island country, I am afraid that it will take a long time to come out, after all, Shueisha first serialized "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" in the form of a weekly magazine, in order to accumulate fame first, and then wait for the serialization to reach a certain point before publishing a single comic book.

Zhao Chen didn't know what the situation of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was in the island country, he held an indifferent attitude, anyway, it was good to earn as much as he could.

In other words, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" has fried cold rice several times in a row and made money several times, which is basically impossible in the era of information and Internet in later generations, but there are such benefits in this relatively closed era.

However, these are only the number of genuine copies, which seems to be a lot, but after all, these are four novels and comics each, with the fame of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", how can it not take such a 'poor' result, and the combined income of Nanyang and Baodao is comparable to that of Xiangjiang slightly higher, I have to say that this is an irony.

But this is indeed the sales of the genuine version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", and the main reason for this is nothing more than that piracy is rampant in these two places. Some greedy publishing houses secretly publish "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" to make huge profits, and the pirated copies sold alone are far more than the genuine ones.

Zhao Chen naturally hated this, piracy greatly damaged his interests, but what measures could he take at this time, even if his reputation reached the level of Jin Yong, it was difficult to control the trend of piracy, and he was not a local snake.

But even so, Zhao Chen was relieved in his heart, although he lost a lot of benefits, but it was really a small thing for the future generations of Huaguo, just Jin Yong's martial arts novels in the future Huaguo will have more than 100 million pirated copies, and at that time, the sales of a genuine copy can be tens of thousands, that is, the great god, and people can't help but think about how embarrassing they are.

It can be said that basically the more unreachable places tend to be more piracy, at least compared to Nanyang and Baodao, as the third largest financial city in the world, there are much fewer piracy, which in addition to the awareness of buyers, the most important thing is undoubtedly to have enough money to buy genuine copies.

In addition, it has a lot to do with the policies of each country. Among them, the island country is undoubtedly very good at protecting copyright, and it belongs to the paradise of creators, which is why the sales of comics and novels sold there are so high.

Zhao Chen went to the Ming Pao Group and the Holy Flame Publishing House in order to extract the royalty share, but when he was in the Ming Pao Group, Zhao Chen made a request to Jin Yong that made him stunned.
