Chapter 51: A Single Book of Novels

After Zhao Chen handed over the manuscript paper to Ma Rongcheng, he went straight to Shangguan Xiaobao's office, and as soon as he came in, he realized that Shangguan Xiaobao was not working diligently as usual, but leaned back in his chair, looking a little lonely, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhao Chen knocked on the door next to him, Shangguan Xiaobao reacted, raised his head and saw that it was Zhao Chen, with a kind smile on his face.

"Zhao Chen, sit!"

Zhao Chen sat opposite Shangguan Xiaobao, looked at Shangguan Xiaobao's obviously somewhat gloomy face, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Shangguan, your face is not good-looking today, is there something wrong?" โ€

"Well, it's not because I can't get along with my two friends! I wanted to increase Rongcheng's remuneration, but the two of them didn't agree, so Rongcheng resigned from me. They are really short-sighted enough, and with Rong Cheng's talent, they are likely to become well-known cartoonists in the future! โ€

Shangguan Xiaobao sighed lightly, in fact, he was also very tired here, mainly because some of his views were always contrary to his two partners, which invisibly restricted his swing, and also limited the exhibition of the Holy Flame Publishing House.

"It turns out that Uncle Shangguan is for this, then you can relax, I talked to Ma Zai just now, and Ma Zai agreed to stay here for a while!"

As soon as Zhao Chen said this, Shangguan Xiaobao didn't know what to say, his face seemed to be happy and sad, happy that Ma Rongcheng could continue to stay here, and sad that if he continued to stay here, it would undoubtedly restrict Ma Rongcheng's exhibition.

"Zhao Chen, how did you convince him? With his character, it should be difficult! โ€

Zhao Chen smiled, he also knew Ma Rongcheng's general character, although he didn't talk much, he was quite persistent, which was also his advantage, which allowed him to go further on the road of comics.

"Uncle Shangguan, he wanted to go to Yulang International Co., Ltd., but I stopped him! Because I plan to start a comic company by myself, but I obviously can't support it alone, so I plan to let Ma Zai enter my comic company, and I won't treat him badly in terms of remuneration. He just agreed, and he will join as long as he is satisfied with the remuneration. โ€

Shangguan Xiaobao's expression changed a few times, and it became very fast, if it wasn't for Lin Feng looking at him all the time, he would really think that Shangguan Xiaobao had not changed.

"Zhao Chen, I didn't expect you to want to start your own comic company so soon! I won't stop you, after all, everyone has their own ideas, and they can't force it, but I still want to ask you, how are you going to publish the next comic? Is it self-financed or is it going to continue to share with the Flame Press? You should be aware of the difference between the two! โ€

Shangguan Xiaobao knew in his heart that as long as a cartoonist became famous, then something called ambition would expand, and it was only a matter of time before he started his own comic company, which was very common in Xiangjiang.

"I'm going to publish it at my own expense!"

When Zhao Chen said this, he was loud, obviously there was no room for negotiation. While the share is safe, the cartoonist only gets a small percentage of the profit; As for self-financed publishing, the publisher makes the price fluctuate according to the number of publications, that is, the more the number of one-time publications, the lower the corresponding price given by the publisher, and vice versa. But there is also a huge risk that if it is overestimated, so that the number of published comics obviously exceeds the number of comics sold, then the rest of the comics that have not been sold will be at your own expense; If it is underestimated, then the price of the publication will be higher, and you will lose some of your profits.

Of course, if you own your own publishing house, then this problem can be solved very well! It's a pity that it takes a lot of money to start a publishing house, and now Zhao Chen doesn't have that much money. And if you want a publishing house not to lose money, you must have at least a group of cartoonists or writers under your hands.

"I've done this before, but unfortunately I failed in the end, and I hope you can succeed then." Shangguan Xiaobao stood up and patted Zhao Chen's rather generous shoulder, with a sigh on his face.

"I will!"

Looking at Zhao Chen's resolute face, Shangguan Xiaobao couldn't help but nodded, he knew in his heart the reason why Zhao Chen came here today, so he also changed the topic: "Zhao Chen, today is the day you receive your remuneration, see if this amount is right?" โ€

Zhao Chen took a black bag handed to him by Shangguan Xiaobao, opened it and saw that there were three bundles of banknotes and some change in the bag.

"The numbers are right! Uncle Shangguan, I have other things to do now, so I won't bother you! Zhao Chen carefully counted it to show confirmation, and then said goodbye to Shangguan Xiaobao.

Although Shangguan Xiaobao was very good to him, there was obviously a generation gap between the two in age, so Zhao Chen chose to leave after feeling that the atmosphere was a little dull.

After Zhao Chen returned to Tseung Kwan O, he took his mother, who had just been discharged from the hospital, to the Tseung Kwan O Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and he naturally came here to register a comic company.

Minors in Xiangjiang are not allowed to register a company, even if Zhao Chen is famous, it is useless, because minors are not capable of bearing legal responsibility and are under guardianship, so minors are generally not allowed to serve as shareholders and legal representatives of the company. There was no way, Zhao Chen had no choice but to ask his mother to register the company, and as long as he became an adult, he would turn around.

It doesn't cost much to register a company, you only need to pay a nominal service fee.

When filling in the name of the company, Zhao Chen finally used the name Tianxia Publishing Co., Ltd., which Ma Rongcheng founded ten years later. As for the location and personnel, it is not filled in, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a leather bag company.

After completing the process, you only need to come to the industrial and commercial bureau again in a few days to get the paper.

After completing these not very complicated procedures, Zhao Chen returned home with his mother, he did not immediately draw comics or write novels, but thought about drawing on white paper, and created the cover of the "Tianxia Magazine" that he founded later.

Of course, when you come up with any comics in the future, you can just add the main character of the comic.

The cover of "Tianxia Magazine" mainly refers to some magazines in later generations, so that it looks more beautiful on the cover, and if it is placed in a bunch of various magazines, it can inadvertently attract the attention of readers, and the style of the cover is really more attractive now.

"God, give me millions!" Zhao Chen got the cover of the magazine, but he was wailing in his heart, because troubles occupied his body and mind again, the days without a publishing house were quite difficult for comic companies, even if it was self-financed publishing, a part of the profits earned from publishing had to be given to the publishing house, and in the end, it was someone else's publishing house, so naturally there would be various restrictions.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chen really wanted to rob the bank, but it didn't take long for him to take a deep breath and suppress the greed and throbbing in his heart, what is the difference between robbing a bank and looking for death!

And just when Zhao Chen was working diligently at home, the novel version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was officially published, and it was really the progress of the novel that was slightly faster than the comics, so this situation would occur.

There is only one small bookstore in Tseung Kwan O called Yaxuan Bookstore, and due to the small population of Tseung Kwan O, the daily transaction volume of this bookstore is not much, and the owner is even more idle.

However, on this day, it seems quite abnormal, early in the morning, there are several readers waiting outside the Yaxuan Book House, and as time passes, the readers who gather outside obviously have a tendency to gather more and more.

"Hey, isn't this Xiaoyu, why are you here?" Yang Tian was waiting at the door while watching more and more people, and suddenly saw a familiar figure not far away also waiting there, and couldn't help shouting at the figure.

"It's Yang Tian, I thought I was the only one in the whole class, but I didn't expect you to come too! You won't be here for "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"! A student with glasses heard someone calling him, and hurriedly looked over there, and when he was now his classmate, he immediately squeezed to Yang Tian's side and had a conversation with Yang Tian.

"Of course, otherwise I would have gotten up so early to do something! It's not that you don't know how popular "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is, if it's late, maybe it's gone! And have you heard of it, this time I heard that there are more than a dozen chapters of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" that have not been published in newspapers and magazines, so it's just a good time to take a look! โ€

Yang Tian looked around, and then pretended to be mysterious and said, in fact, many novels will do this when they are published, naturally in order to attract readers to buy **, only in this way can the novel sell better.

"I know this, didn't it be published in the "Ming Pao" yesterday, but I'm afraid that all readers in Xiangjiang will know about it. Actually, I think it's most convenient to read novels or physical books, and it's too troublesome to read newspapers! So this time, I'm going to buy a copy and take it home, just chew it slowly, maybe it's a different flavor. The student named Xiaoyu raised his glasses on the bridge of his nose slightly and expressed his opinion.

"You're right, it's better to read a physical book! Hey, the store manager is here! โ€

Yang Tian originally planned to continue talking to Xiao Yu, but when his eyes saw a figure squeezing towards the wolf bรจi in this direction, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he blurted out.
