Chapter 422 Abacus Beads(1/2)
Although there was a slight unexpected situation, the contract still had to be signed. By the time Jiang Qi returned to the conference room, Jiang Jun and Li Liang had already read the contract.
Li Liang only needed to sign the first copy, while Jiang Jun had to sign two copies. The second copy, "Class Reunion Murder", which was considered a derivative, was still jointly published by JC, but because JC had no contribution at all in the creation of this book.
It is only responsible for publicity, so the share of joint distribution received is smaller.
A profit of 30% was obtained, and the publicity and printing costs of the two copies were shared equally between JC and Galaxy Script Agency.
JC has to be responsible for the promotion of two books at the same time, which seems to be a lot of work. But the two books share a world view and are both boxed. When promoting, they only need to use the same routine. In a sense, the second
JC's 30% profit is considered a free prostitution.
Jiang Jun and Cao Luoping are not fools. "Meet Again" and "Murder at the Class Reunion" are rare high-quality books. Judging from the current market trend, the emotional book "Meet Again" undoubtedly has the potential to be a big seller.
After all, emotional books have a wide audience.
Little girls, especially junior high school students, high school students and college students who are still studying, like emotional books the most. These kind of little girls also like to hang out on the Internet for publicity. They like to post on Moments, Weibo and small books.
It's positive. They have played a huge role in the emotional development of the past two years.
But this does not mean that "Class Reunion Murder" is worse than "We Meet Again".
As practitioners in the script industry, Jiang Jun and Cao Luoping affirm the commercial value of emotional books like "Meet Again". But if asked which type they prefer, it must be a high-quality mystery book.
When Cao Luoping first saw the electronic file of "Class Reunion Murder", he thought carefully. Even if this Galaxy Script Company planned to publish it alone, he would have to help promote it.
Even if you lose money out of your own pocket, you have to help promote it.
No one under Jiang Qi knows anything about distribution. Cao Luoping, the current clerk of Galaxy Script Agency, knows it very well.
Theoretically, the store manager Liu Lan is a master of writing. The little girl is still in college. She has a young body and is able to stay up late. She is also a professional in broadcasting and hosting. She has a good image, a good voice, and a good foundation. She is outstanding no matter where she is placed.
of dm.
However, this scroll king, like her boss Jiang Qi, has no interest in script killing itself. She stayed in the script killing shop as a store manager because of her studies. She went to the amusement park during the long vacation. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the future development.
Know.
The acting store manager Liu Jia's business skills are not bad, and his essence is no different from Liu Lan. He works as a DM and looks forward to a position in the amusement park.
The remaining full-time DMs are all reserve personnel in the amusement park.
As far as Jiang Jun and Cao Luoping know, since the opening of Jiang Qi's amusement park, Galaxy Script Club has never participated in any exhibition. At the beginning, when C.C had not completely given up the script killing business, Galaxy Script Club followed C.C to buy scripts.
They buy whatever books C.C buys. Two stores are as good as one.
When C.C’s manager Xu was running for the exhibition, he would even take time to read the scripts suitable for Galaxy Script Club. It is a miracle in the industry that theoretically the relationship between competitors can be so harmonious.
Later, C.C withdrew from the script sales business, so Liu Lan shamelessly went to Jiang Jun and Cao Luoping to ask for the order. Because Galaxy Script Agency only buys boxed sets and not city limits and exclusives, the two stores actually cannot form a too fierce competitive relationship.
, Jiang Jun felt that it was not easy for a little girl like Liu Lan to be a store manager, so she easily gave her the list of popular boxed products for each exhibition.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Jiang Jun and Cao Luoping thought of asking Galaxy Script Club to use their reputations to vouch for the previous version of "Meet Again" even though they had not communicated with Jiang Qi for more than a year.
Nominated producer.
Life is so wonderful. Jiang Jun and Cao Luoping initially planned to reissue and launch new books by the store because opening a store was not as profitable as before, and they wanted to make a small amount of money by selling copies to save the down payment for a wedding house.
As a result, with Jiang Qi's involvement, it seems that the down payment for the wedding house has almost been saved in full.
.
Jiang Jun took the freshly signed and sealed contract and thought about the money he might get after the autumn exhibition. He felt that the sky was so blue and the air was so clear. Even the cursing man not far away
The ugly yelling of the grinning old lady seemed so pleasant to the ears.
"Boss Jiang is such a kind person!" Jiang Jun said with a smile, "Two days ago, Lao Cao and I were at home trying to figure out how much money we could get. The two of us felt that dividing the first instinct into three would be pretty good, and the second
2 books. It would be great if Boss Jiang and the others are willing to give us a hard fee for publicity. I didn’t expect them to be so generous.”
"There is no problem with the contract." Jiang Jun looked at the terms in the contract happily.
"Sister Jun, is there really no problem with the contract?" Li Liang, who didn't understand the contract at all, asked in a low voice, "It's not that I don't believe Boss Jiang, I just feel that I haven't contributed much, and the current Ben seems to be different from me.
It doesn’t matter, I just sold the copyright.”
“I’ve been checking online these days, and I’ve heard that there are many publishers that hack new authors’ manuscripts, revise their manuscripts, and claim that they were written by me without giving them a penny.”
"I think this situation is very similar to mine."
Jiang Jun couldn't help but chuckle. She knew that it wasn't that Li Liang didn't trust Jiang Qi or that he was suspicious, but it was just the worries and worries that people would inevitably have at such a time.
This feeling is like everyone hoping that a pie from the sky will fall on their head, but one day when the pie does fall on their head, they will start to have doubts.
Why is this pie trying to hit me?
How could I be hit by this pie?
Is there something wrong with this pie? Is there a pie on the outside and a stone on the inside, trying to hit me to death?
Li Liang and Cao Luoping have been friends for many years. Li Liang himself is not a professional author, he is just an ordinary person who can write stories and his writing skills are not bad. Because Cao Luoping opened a script killing shop, he will do script killing from time to time.
When the original version of "Meet Again" was written, none of the three of them had high expectations for it.
It can be seen from the fact that Cao Luoping and Jiang Jun do not want to go out of the city to defraud people. They feel that the quality of this book is not worthy of going out of the city.
At first, the three of them thought that if they were lucky, they might be able to sell this book for more than 100,000 yuan. After excluding the publicity and printing costs, they could earn 60,000 or 70,000 yuan. At that time, the money would be divided among them, with Li Liang taking 30%, Cao Luoping and Jiang Jun taking 70%.
A little money won't hurt your friends' friendship.
Later, the professional who asked for a cut of the commission as a nominal producer reminded Cao Luoping that they could actually make the 100,000 yuan a little more by using aggressive publicity methods, and that's what happened next.
In other words, Li Liang initially wrote the book with the mentality of making 20,000 yuan.
Then now Cao Luoping and Jiang Jun told him, brother, we are just lucky, we might have sold him millions.
After deducting costs for two million sales, the commission is 1.50%, which is 0% more than what Li Liang originally expected.
A windfall from heaven!
Li Liang was embarrassed to tell Jiang Jun and Cao Luoping that he had been dreaming every night for the past few days that the new book was going to be a big hit, and he sold it for more than 5 million yuan, and sold the entire price of his wedding house.
After all, housing prices in Xuncheng are not expensive.
Although he doesn't even have a girlfriend.
"Do you know how much Boss Jiang spent to buy this amusement park?" Jiang Jun asked with a smile.
"How much?" Li Liang had no idea about this kind of thing, so he boldly guessed, "More than 50 million?"
"I don't know the exact amount, but it is said that it is no less than 100 million, full payment."
Li Liang was greatly shocked.
"There are nearly 300 employees in the amusement park now. Even if you get a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan, it will cost you more than 1 million yuan in salary alone. Our money from selling capital may not be as much as the monthly turnover of the amusement park. Jiang
Does the boss want to blackmail you for your money?"
Li Liang felt that what Jiang Jun said made sense and was convinced on the spot: "Boss Jiang is such a good person."
Just as he was sighing, the old lady cursing in the distance came closer and closer, so close that Li Liang and Jiang Jun could clearly hear what she was cursing even if they didn't deliberately listen.
"I'm telling you, I have a headache right now. Do you know that I have a concussion? Your supervisor Jiang is dead, and so is your amusement park. I'm telling you, I'm going to call the police, and I'm going to the court to sue you.
, you beat the old man!"
"Where's that bitch Ji Xue? Her grandma and I were beaten like this and she actually didn't care. She is really a white-eyed wolf. She has eaten so much rice from our Ji family in vain over the years. She should not have married the scourge of the family in the first place.
Her disaster-star mother came in. Let me tell you, don’t think that I am an uneducated old lady who is easy to bully. I have also used the Internet and I also understand the law!"
"I'm going to the hospital to have my injuries examined, and I'm going to seek compensation from you! I'm going to call reporters, and I'm going to expose this black-hearted amusement park of yours. Don't think that I'm easy to bully because I'm from out of town. I have three sons!"
"I'm telling you, you don't want to solve this matter without 500,000!"
Shen Lirong rubbed her temples with a headache. She felt that she had really lived a good life for more than a year and had forgotten what the normal service industry would face.
When Manager Jiang came out of the kitchen with a rolling pin, she didn't rush to stop him the first time. Alas, she was really lax. She had watched too much "The Legend of the Princess" and the cool plots had conquered her sanity.
Needless to say, when Director Jiang hit the rolling pin, she only had two words in her mind.
Enjoyable!
However, the price of having fun is endless trouble. What was originally reasonable has turned into wrong. I'm afraid that Manager Jiang will really bleed this time.
but--
Shen Lirong looked at Grandma Ji Xue who was chattering endlessly. She was so angry when she cursed, and there were no obvious injuries. It seemed that there would be no big problem.
The most important thing is that the old lady doesn't seem to have any intention of calling the police and going to court to file a lawsuit. The main reason is to seek compensation, so that it should not go to court.
"Let me tell you, I feel uncomfortable from head to toe now. I want to have a full body examination, the best and most expensive examination!"
Jiang Jun and Li Liang watched Grandma Ji Xue walk past them.
"What's going on? Did she just say that Director Jiang hit her? Are there many Director Jiangs in the amusement park?" Li Liang began to think.
"Maybe there are many." Jiang Jun nodded, "After all, the Manager Jiang we know looks gentle and weak. He speaks slowly and has a low voice. It is impossible to hit someone."
Li Liang nodded: "That must be the case."
What the two of them didn't know was that Manager Jiang, who they said was too weak to hit anyone, was currently in an invisible state, and Wang Xinghua, who was also invisible, was following Grandma Ji Xue.
"Wow, you can claim 500,000 yuan in compensation for being beaten with a rolling pin! Jiang Cha, please hit me more, I'm very resistant to beatings." Wang Xinghua seemed to have found the secret to getting rich.
Jiangcha:?
