Chapter 042: Take care of your children
On the top floor of the Boyi Building, in a spacious office of hundreds of square meters, Zhong Changlin held the microphone, listened to Tan Fengzhen's unreserved narration, groaned slightly, and said: "In this case, bring someone over, I will meet him in person." ”
Putting down the microphone, Zhong Changlin leaned back on the leather seat, rubbed his chin, and glanced at some newspapers and magazines spread out on the desk in front of him.
All of them are published in articles on 'participating in business'.
Thoughts raced.
Since the first time he heard a certain word last Wednesday night, in just these days, Zhong Changlin has always had the words 'youth literature' floating in his mind. Moreover, the more I think about it, the more I feel that the future is broad.
Especially in the current situation of Boyi.
begged grandpa to sue grandma for a long time, and just this morning, Zhong Changlin finally got a notice that Boyi won another loan of 1 million.
However, there are only 1 million.
This money is spent, if Boyi's operation still does not improve, Zhong Changlin's position as president may be unstable.
Zhong Changlin's original idea was to use the money to try his best to support the "Shanghai Magazine", which has the best development momentum at present.
Shang Jun, the young editor-in-chief of "Shanghai Sea", had a deep conversation with him, and this year he not only plans to push the magazine's sales to more than 50,000, but also plans to publish books on economics and management for the public.
As the positioning of "Shanghai Sea":
Facing the public, there is no professional obscurity, only for what readers want to see, only for what readers love to read.
Facts have proved that this strategy is very successful, so the effect of publishing similar books on economics and management with "Business Sea" as a guide will not be too bad.
Therefore, Zhong Changlin almost intended to gamble at first. Unexpectedly, there was another outlier on the side of "Qingxu".
Consultation.
These days, while repeatedly pondering the 'youth literature' plan brought back by Tan Fengzhen and Fang Wei, Zhong Changlin also asked his secretary to find all the newspapers and magazines where the articles were published by the participating merchants, and they all read carefully more than once.
In addition, even if Fang Wei talked about the young man's academic performance, Zhong Changlin also contacted Heyuan's side.
Get confirmed.
It is really 1022 points, which is equivalent to 730 points in the college entrance examination, and there are five full marks in nine courses.
Complete college entrance examination champion level.
Zhong Changlin's desk drawer even has a copy of the test paper of the Suzhou-Hangzhou language test, just a stroke on it, if he hadn't called again to confirm, and asked for the manuscript of "Lin Qing and Xu Bai" from "Qingxu" for comparison, Zhong Changlin even wondered if it was a printed font.
And again.
The most critical point is that just one article "Lin Qing and Xu Bai" doubled the sales of the half-dead "Qingxu" magazine.
So, if the whole 'youth literature' project described by the other party can really be done, what potential will it have?
After sorting it out in this way, compared with the all-or-nothing bet on "Shanghai", the chance of success is obviously higher when operating two promising projects at the same time.
And, no matter which one succeeds, Boyi will be able to get out of the current predicament.
There was a knock on the door, and Zhong Changlin's thoughts were interrupted.
only to find that I was unconsciously deep in thought again.
With a promise, Zhong Changlin quickly put away the newspapers and magazines on the table, stood up, and took the initiative to greet them.
Su Hang, Tan Fengzhen and his father entered the door together, and immediately looked at the middle-aged man in a burgundy shirt and black trousers who greeted him.
The middle-aged man looks younger than Tan Fengzhen, with a medium height, a flat head, and a pair of big ears that are easy for people to look at a few more times. However, compared to Tan Fengzhen's gentleness, the other party is full of ability from top to bottom.
The two sides approached, Tan Fengzhen helped the two sides introduce, and Zhong Changlin was also looking at the young man in front of him.
Not to mention the thick eyebrows and big eyes, a partial Chinese face that looks much more mature than the actual age is also quite attractive, and also, the height is good, and the temperament is also stable, which should be very attractive to girls.
Suitable for packaging.
The two sides looked at each other, shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, Zhong Changlin turned to Su Quanquan: "Old Su, why don't you let me talk to Su Hang alone?" ”
Zhong Changlin's thoughts:
Send away the adults, so that it is more convenient to take care of the children.
Su Quanquan looked at his son.
Su Hang nodded: "Dad, you wait outside." ”
Su Hang's thoughts:
Send away the adults, so that it is more convenient for you to play at will.
Although the conversation with Tan Fengzhen just now did not smell of gunpowder, his father still quietly looked for an opportunity to signal him not to speak too hard with others, to be modest and tactful.
How does this work?
Seeing his son say this, Su Quanquan thought about it and agreed, but before leaving, he explained his son with his eyes.
Be polite!
Came to the reception area by the window and sat down on the sofa, the secretary brought tea and left, and soon, only Zhong Changlin and Su Hang were left in the huge office.
Zhong Changlin picked up the white porcelain teacup, leaned on the back of the sofa chair very relaxedly, crossed his legs, took a sip of tea, and then looked at the young man opposite, and said with a gentle smile: "Lao Tan told me just now, you even know about Boyi's debts, and it's quite powerful." However, Suzhou and Hangzhou, you have to understand that all kinds of units are now operating in debt, and millions of them are nothing to Boyi. ”
Su Hang was not as relaxed as Zhong Changlin, nor did he serve tea, he also smiled, but he was not polite: "President Zhong, according to my personal understanding, if Boyi's debt is really fine, you shouldn't talk about it in particular, or we will talk about it as soon as we open our mouths." ”
Forehead......
Sure enough, it's not an easy little guy to deal with.
Zhong Changlin stabilized his mind, directly ignored the young man's words, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this." Su Hang, I have roughly read your recent articles, and at your age, they are all quite good. However, the plan you asked Lao Tan and Xiao Fang to convey is not easy to create the first person in 'youth literature'. ”
"How?"
"Su Hang, you compare Liu Xiaoqing, but do you know that Liu Xiaoqing is a big star who has a certain reputation all over the world, and people's autobiography can get 1.08 million, relying on her fame, not trivial things that can only be hyped up in the short term."
Su Hang nodded slightly, as if he was quite approving, but changed the subject: "President Zhong, speaking of Liu Xiaoqing, you should know her boyfriend, Jiang Wen?" ”
Zhong Changlin was puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”
Jiang Wen made a movie called "Sunny Day", which not only won the award in Venice, but also recently the media has been discussing it, the topic is very hot, and the schedule has been set, August 21. President Chung, do you think this movie can sell a lot of money? ”
Zhong Changlin felt that something was wrong, and he wanted to pull the topic back, but he could only say: "Jiang Wen's movie should be good." ”
Su Hang looked at the middle-aged man opposite and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this should be regarded as a 'youth movie'." ”
Hearing the 'youth' movie, Zhong Changlin's mind jumped and he felt the problem, however, he could only temporarily follow the topic of teenagers: "Why do you say that?" ”
"The movie is adapted from a novel by Wang Shuo, "Animal Fierce", I don't know if you have seen it, but I have seen it, and it is roughly about the youth of Wang Shuo and Jiang Wen's generation," Su Hang said: "So, have you found that one of the chains." ”
"Chains?"
"The same 'youth literature', adapted from a novel into a movie, has become a 'youth movie' again. Jiang Wen could only be said to be a good actor before, but this movie made him successfully turn to the identity of an international director, which can be described as fame and fortune. ”
Zhong Changlin felt that he understood the young man's intentions, and laughed: "Su Hang, you think about this now, it's too early, it's not so easy to make a movie and win an international award." ”
"President Zhong, you are mistaken, I am not talking about 'fame and fortune', but outlining an industry."
"What...... Industry? ”
"Media," Su Hang said, "involves a complete set of media industries in books, movies, television, music and other aspects. ”
It seems to be getting more and more deviated!
Zhong Changlin pondered, but couldn't help but want to listen to the follow-up: "Media, I've heard this concept, how do you know it?" ”
"That's not the point," Su Hang said: "As soon as I entered the door, I felt that President Zhong was very sharp, and he was a person who still wanted to work hard and forge ahead. ”
Of course not!
The problem is that this 'one acre and three points of land' has not been done yet.
Zhong Changlin thought in his heart, and just smiled on the surface: "You kid, you are very good at talking, but your tone is a little louder." ”
Zhong Changlin didn't know that when this sentence came out, the momentum that he originally planned to put pressure on the young hard-core had softened too much.
The state of Suzhou and Hangzhou has not changed, and it is still harmless to humans and animals: "President Zhong ......"
"I'm supposed to be older than your dad, or can you call me uncle?"
"Okay, Uncle Zhong," Su Hang changed his title, and continued: "It's not that I'm angry, but an inevitable trend in the development of all walks of life under the background of China's current marketization wave." Let's just say that 'independent publishing' is transformed into 'comprehensive media', let's only assume one: Boyi has produced a good book, which is suitable for making movies, or is it possible to win international awards to make people gain fame and fortune, then, the book is ours, if there is a condition, why don't we do it ourselves, and leave the fertilizer and water in our own fields? ”
Zhong Changlin was a little moved, but he said: "Movies are not easy to do." ”
Su Hang didn't take this, but continued: "Speaking of TV and music, the same is true. It's also quite profitable to make TV dramas now, and it has been market-oriented, and even private individuals can do it, not to mention a state-owned unit like Boyi, so, there are also good novels, why don't we also adapt them into 'Youth TV'? As for music, there has been a song in the past two years, called "You at the Same Table", which is very popular, and even appeared on the Spring Festival Gala at the beginning of the year. This song can also be regarded as a 'youth music'. ”
Zhong Changlin listened carefully and read out a few words accurately: "Youth literature, youth movies, youth TV, youth music." ”
"Yes, the entire media industry, the future plate is very large, hundreds of billions of dollars is not impossible, no one can eat it completely. This requires a choice. If Boyi starts now, recognizes the word 'youth', digs deep in one direction, and cultivates intensively, then, in the future, on the basis of Boyi Publishing House, the establishment of Boyi Media Group, I believe that with the huge consumption potential of young people, the scale can reach tens of billions, which is easy. ”
"How can it be so easy," Zhong Changlin had already put down the cup, sat up straight, and his mouth was still strong: "You are too idealistic, and you take it for granted." ”
"This is not taken for granted, there are cases in the past," Su Hang said: "In the West, such as Hollywood in the United States, Disney, Uncle Zhong knows, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, this company is now a comprehensive media group, and the main development direction of this company is movies, television, music, etc. for teenagers, oh, and Disneyland." Disney's current market value should be more than 10 billion US dollars, which is converted into RMB and reaches 100 billion yuan. This is the potential of the word 'youth'. ”
When Zhong Changlin heard the young man say this, he subconsciously wanted to ask: How did you know?
However, this time it was a pause and a deep thought.
Su Hang didn't know what Zhong Changlin was thinking, and if the other party really asked, he wouldn't answer directly.
I can't answer.
Anyway, it's just a hard drag, combined with the experience of decades in the previous life, combined with the rich memory information after sharpening, nonsense.
You can't get too wrong.
Zhong Changlin has already been brought in, and involuntarily begins to fantasize about some of the prospects depicted by the teenager.
Boyi Media!
Don't say 100 billion, don't say 10 billion, don't say billion, even if it's 1 billion......
Then he woke up.
Looking at the young man on the other side who still looked plain and indifferent, Zhong Changlin realized that he had unknowingly fallen into the middle.
The teenager drew such a big pie in the blink of an eye, which made people greedy, but in the final analysis, he was still strengthening his own importance and raising his bargaining chips.
Just like the two subordinates said that night.
Teenagers are a 'fuse'.
If there was no fuse, there would be no brilliant fireworks of 'youth literature', and now, on the basis of 'youth literature', which has already made him attach great importance, the other party has painted a more brilliant and dazzling industrial picture of 'youth media'.
How can this not be exciting?
If you are tempted, you want to act?
How to act?
First of all, this 'fuse' must be taken down, otherwise, everything will be empty.
Look at the other side again.
Zhong Changlin couldn't help but smile bitterly, and suddenly understood what happened to Tan Fengzhen before, just now, he couldn't even handle a child, and he still felt that the other party was quite useless.
Not planning to let the teenager bring the topic down, Zhong Changlin collected his thoughts, and his eyes regained sharpness: "Su Hang, these are too far away, let's talk about our cooperation, you want to be the first person in 'youth literature', and those follow-up plans, I have heard of them." I don't deny it, I think there is a certain degree of feasibility. I also know that you have a lot of choices, but, obviously, Boyi is the most suitable for you, because you are from Heyuan, and Boyi is in Shangdu, which is very convenient for us to communicate face-to-face when we encounter things, and at the same time, Boyi also has the platform of "Qingxu", which can provide you with a base. These are all incomparable with other provincial units. Since you are more mature than children of the same age and know so much, I believe that you can see the pros and cons. ”
Su Hang didn't underestimate Zhong Changlin, but he didn't expect the other party to analyze his Boyi advantages so thoroughly.
After thinking about it, Su Hang said: "Uncle Zhong, I did think of these. However, this does not constitute a decisive condition for my cooperation with Boyi, and everything depends on your sincerity. ”
"What sincerity do you want?"
"My personal bargaining chips, Boyi already knows, these are my advantages," Su Hang and Zhong Changlin looked at each other: "However, in addition to some of the nearby conveniences you just said, in my opinion, Boyi, which is not in good condition, is full of disadvantages, and it is difficult to say whether you can guarantee my interests after reaching cooperation." ”
"You can rest assured ...... this"
Su Hang shook his head: "Uncle Zhong, this kind of verbal promise cannot be believed by adults, everyone is not a child." ”
Zhong Changlin: "......"
Zhong Changlin: "Then, tell me ......?"
"If you want a person to do their best in one thing, on the one hand, there must be potential benefits, and on the other hand, it is better to pay some price first."
Zhong Changlin grasped the key: "The price? ”
"I can cooperate with Boyi without reservation," Su Hang said: "At the same time, in order to let Boyi cooperate with me without reservation, I can't be perfunctory, can't be slack, and can't be half-hearted, so let you also pay some price in advance, which is undoubtedly a very effective means of restraint." ”
Zhong Changlin understood and looked at the young man opposite: "Liu Xiaoqing's kind, an advance payment of 1.08 million?" ”
Su Hang smiled: "Yes, but, Uncle Zhong, you also said that I can't compare with Liu Xiaoqing." In this case, it's 100,000, 100,000 for a book, and if Boyi wants, we can sign a few more. Of course, this is only an upfront payment, and the royalty still has to be calculated separately, I heard that the proportion in the industry is 5% to 15%, and in the compromise, I only need 10%. ”
Zhong Changlin's eyes narrowed.
Look up and down at the boy opposite.
100,000 openings?
Or is it just a copy?
Little guy, do you know what the concept of 100,000 yuan is?
Do you have to pay more for more than you want?
Also 10% royalty!
How dare you speak!
Zhong Changlin suddenly turned to the door of the office again, and regretted sending the young man's father out.
Feed!
Who's that?
Come in and take care of your children!
