After taking nearly 100 photos in a row, the qiē was finally over.

"You've got a good foundation, maybe you should go make a movie or something." Homan praised Catherine like this.

"You can let go and be a model." Then he said to Ada.

"This is my business card, if you have the chance, I hope you can come and take some pictures for me, I can pay you, and I can keep a copy of the photo for you." Homan handed a business card to Catherine.

"Thank you."

Hörmann has a lot of clothes here, and they look very gorgeous and good-looking, and although Catherine is a minor, there are also many clothes that fit her figure.

After he finished speaking, he came to Ada's side again, and handed her a business card as well.

"Kate, if you have time, let's come over together~" Ida seemed excited.

"Hmm."

Looking at the other party's excited look, Catherine couldn't refuse.

"Alright, I'll be able to pick it up next week......" Hörmann set the camera aside.

"How is your fashion design company thinking about it? I've heard that you need a surrogate, and I thought I might be able to help you. ”

Several people looked at each other and looked at each other.

To be honest, because they wanted to take pictures, they forgot about it and didn't think about it at all.

"I'm putting $50,000 here, Lisa and Jenny are in charge of fashion design for the time being, Ida and I can be models, and Lily is the photographer."

Catherine threw out her plan.

"Very few combinations." Homan nodded, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Maybe my photo studio can also be a shareholder?"

Joining the company of a few middle school students may seem ridiculous, but Hörmann doesn't seem to care.

"How are the shares distributed?"

"In my opinion, so be it......"

Catherine bought $50,000 and worked as a model for a clothing design company, 35 percent of the shares—after all, $50,000 is worth a lot of money now, more than ten times more in terms of purchasing power.

Homan is regarded as the CEO of the company, responsible for the daily work, and at the same time to give the studio to the company, accounting for 30% of the shares.

Lisa is the "chief designer" with 15% of the shares, leaving Lily with 10% and Jenny and Ida with 5% each.

"And what's the best name for our company?"

This is an important question.

Don't underestimate the name of a company, it is very likely that when it is critical, the name will determine a qiē.

After all, it's easy to get around with a catchy name.

If it's a mediocre or tongue-twisting name, who will remember it?

What is the name of the company?

"Okay, let's get all the preliminary matters sorted out first, and then think of the name?"

"Anyway, there's no hurry, Lisa, take advantage of this time to design more costumes, Jenny can also help."

"Maybe we'll be able to gather more fashion designers in the future?"

"All in all, let's do it now, think about the name of the company, how the company will sell after it is founded, and how to make our brand ......"

"I think as long as Ida and Kate walk around the street and there are no problems, that's the best sales pitch."

"That...... I'm going to SAB for a class, and I'll see you tomorrow......"

As the saying goes, 3 women are 3,000 ducks, and Catherine finally experienced it, but fortunately, the opinions they put forward were also of some value, but the final mention could only make Catherine choose to slip away in advance.

It was just after noon, and there was still some time before class, and Catherine, of course, did not choose to go to class, she chose to go home first, maybe her parents could have some good ideas, but as soon as she got home, Emma handed a letter to her.

"Kate, there's your letter, it's from the publishing house."

Kate opened the letter.

The content of the letter is that the editors see that Catherine's book should be a series, and hope that the copyright of this subsequent work will be formed into a series. It is even possible to give Catherine up to 15% in royalties.

Hey, another letter that reveals the bottom line?

Catherine looks at the attribution: Robert.

This stunned young man seems to have some experience and knows how to send letters instead of going directly to the door, but he still revealed the company's bottom line. ,

The Harry Potter series is indeed a slow heat, but sales have been steady, including hardcover and paperbacks, so far, it has brought Catherine $10,000 in income, and with the previous income, it has reached a total of $60,000 - although it is only 50,000 after tax.

But why would a paper book publisher be so interested in his novels? Catherine began to analyze.

The Lord of the Rings sold well in the U.S. market at first, but the price of a fifteen-dollar hardcover book was not affordable for the masses — and while paperback publishing became mainstream after World War II, Tolkien didn't seem interested in paperback pocket books and story-paper formats for a dozen cents.

When contacted by Ace Publishing in the United States, he did not respond to the paperback version of The Lord of the Rings. So Ace Publishing House printed the paperback edition of The Lord of the Rings without the consent of Tolkien or the publisher, and did not pay the author a dime in royalties, which was considered a standard piracy.

So Tolkien was angry at the copyright and quickly authorized Bellanting Publishing House to release the original paperback version of "The Lord of the Rings" in the United States, but when piracy had already occupied the market, the genuine version was not as good as piracy. Tolkien himself once again came forward to defend his legitimate rights, and he began to remind American readers in his replies that Ace's version was illegal and asked them to tell their friends about it. The move quickly had a noticeable effect, with American readers not only refusing to buy the Ace edition, but also demanding that the bookstore remove it. In the end, Ace paid Tolkien a handsome royalty and did not reprint it after the stock was sold out. The battle for rights dragged on, and the paperback version of The Lord of the Rings also sold all the way through the squabble, rushed to the best-selling charts, and quickly took the campus by storm.

It was 1960, and The Lord of the Rings was pirated in the United States until 1965, when it was officially published in paperback by Ballantine.

The Lord of the Rings had a hardcover edition in the United States, but there was no paperback edition, and the piracy campaign of Ace Publishing had only just begun.

Therefore, Catherine's "Harry Potter" can be regarded as filling the "gap" in people's magical novels, at least, in front of the eyes of the publishing house. The sales of her book have exceeded 5,000 copies at this time, you know, this is only October 9, and "Harry Potter" has only been published for a week. What's more, her sales are slowly increasing, not decreasing.

Catherine chose a paper book publishing house, and his strength is unquestionable in terms of scale and commercial vision.

The reason why they fancy "Harry Potter" may be to fight against this pirated "Lord of the Rings" and expand the influence of the paper book publishing house.

After all, everyone wants to consolidate their position and reach a monopoly position, multifaceted development, which seems to be a paper book strategy.

In this case, they also decided to strike while the iron was hot, preparing to release "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" on December 25, 1960.

As soon as the two parts come out, "Harry Potter" can occupy more advantages.

The Paperbook Publishing House saw this, which is why Catherine was given such a high royalty.

Of course, Catherine also made a slight change to Harry Potter, and the location is in New York, USA, not London, England, and the "sense of substitution" is important, especially on the eve of this passionate outburst.
