I didn't want to publish a book so early, so I planned to extend the timeline until the computer special effects technology is mature and cooperate with the release of the movie.

But Benite Kloppf, chairman of Random House, never thought so. As a businessman, he called Han Xuan several times in a row, hoping to send a hot iron to directly release the third part. The five-month interval is enough to arouse readers' interest, and it will not make them impatient to wait.

Han Xuan considered that he agreed to his request for two days, and Benite Kloppf was willing to pay the price for it. The third part of the film "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" US royalties increased to 24%, while the share of other countries also increased by 3%.

Both sides were very happy, Random House won a promising star, and Han Xuan received a large amount of income.

The way of thinking of superiors has always been different from that of ordinary people. Ordinary people are still worried about trivial matters, while they are thinking about how to control the development situation of the world in the corner.

For example, the old man said something on the dining table, which made his grandson's good mood fall to the bottom in the morning: "Since you know that these books can make money, why don't you buy a publishing house and start it yourself, I have channels for thousands of branches in the future..."

It is well known that huge profits in the publishing industry. If you understand this industry a little, you should understand that its monopoly leads to excessive profits. Second-level wholesalers and retailers in the middle of sales also make high profits on books.

Printing fees and paper costs account for 23% to 25% of the total price of a book, which means that a book priced at $20 will cost less than $5 to get from the printing factory.

Now the author's remuneration is 12.5%, and to around 17.5%, the publisher's profit is generally 10%. If the publisher publishes it itself and adds a 5% distribution fee, nearly half of the profit will be taken away by the retailer.

Random House has its own publishing house and channels, and is spread all over the streets of the United States, big and small newsstands.

Han Xuan held the juice in his mouth and didn't swallow it for a long time, causing him to lose his mind and sulk.

No wonder Random House was willing to give up such a high profit. It originally thought that making more than 100 million US dollars was quite good, and was preparing to show off to the two elders. But when I remembered that I had worked hard to write books, those people enjoyed the fruits and got several times more profits than me, I felt unbalanced.

"Do it! Let's release the third part, just prepare time for me. It's not troublesome to set up a printing company, right?"

"No trouble, this industry has been established long ago, and the technology is very mature. If you are afraid of trouble, you can buy ready-made printing companies, which won't cost much."

When Han Xuan heard this, he glanced at his grandfather, thinking that he was still not generous enough, look at the two elders, buying and buying.

He said, "Let me pay attention later. If you have domestic channels, foreign countries will discuss with Random Bookstore again to increase the share of the company in the name of the company. There are only seven books in total. If you want to tell me earlier, several hundred million US dollars will not be given away for nothing."

"You still have the face to blame us? You are so thick-skinned. Who knew that a book could be so popular that it hasn't appeared in many years." Han Laozi said, looking at his watch, and waved to someone to clean up the table: "I'm going to work, and an auction will be held tomorrow. There are still things to be done, so why are you going to wait?"

"Go to the street to see how my books are selling, and I never cared about it."

Han Xuan smiled and said, "This shows that the tertiary industry is indeed developing rapidly. In a few years, I will sell books to your company to make movies. I don't have any money and share the box office."

"I'll give you a shit, it's infringing on your intellectual property rights. What can you do to me?" Guo Muzhou smiled and continued to speak: "It's true that Dimen Pictures has lacked scripts recently. It's too difficult to encounter a good script."

"You find some for me and I'll help you choose. I've written a book for so long, and I still have some understanding of this text." Han Xuan pointed at his head and said narcissisticly.

Guo Muzhou nodded and said, "It's nothing to do later, I'll accompany you?"

"Okay, I happened to go to the headquarters of Random House and get the royalties back. My CEO of Snow Mountain Investment Company is going to sign a contract with Trump today. The money on the books is not enough. I raised $160 million and called Mr. Donald in a few days."

"You really don't take a break, and you're still investing in a long-term way. What should you do if you run out of money? That little bit of royalty is not enough."

"Isn't there any way? I also want to grab the mint to get money.

There are many opportunities during this period, and the money is kept in the bank and inflation leads to depreciation. After a while, these companies can generate profits.

Like Blizzard Entertainment, the game "Warcraft" has been completely produced, and the game development does not require much capital, but the profit is very rich."

"I guess it's not enough to make some money for your gaming company's daily expenses."

"No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still fleshy. According to me, this game alone can recover the two million dollars I invested. It will be launched in September. You can wait and see."

Han Xuan said, seeing grandpa changing his clothes and preparing to go out, he shook his hand and said goodbye.

"Let's go, too, change clothes, it's too rude to see others." Guo Muzhou stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

Han Xuan walked to the door and talked to Owen, then went upstairs and called with his cell phone, and waited next to the car in the yard.

A few minutes later, two Audi A8s slowly drove out of the iron gate and merged into the traffic on the street.

Gabriel had a cold and was sitting in another car, driven by Rice, and he asked, "Where are we going now?"

"On the other side of Washington Square, the New York headquarters of Random House, walk from Broadway Avenue, I remember there are many newsstands there." Han Xuan looked out the window and replied.

"I've negotiated with Jobs and I'll go find him when I return to California."

Hearing his grandfather's words, Han Xuan said: "What? The opening of the movie?"

Guo Muzhou couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Of course not, Pixar Animation Studio, he promised to sell it."

"Really? How much?"

"I don't have money, I want Apple's shares. It seems that Jobs hasn't given up yet and asked me to acquire 4% of Apple's shares to exchange with him.

Apple's market value is about $3.1 billion now, which is several million dollars cheaper. I hope the acquisition will not cause the stock price to rise, otherwise I will lose."

"I would rather give him money. Apple is a mess now. People want someone to buy it. The more you charge, the more you sell, the more you dare to raise the price, and you are afraid of scaring you away.

Jobs is planning to go back now? Apple's stocks are scattered. In the mid-1980s, after being swept out by Scully, he sold all the Apple stocks he held in anger. Wait until you hold 4% of them in your hands, you will be considered a major shareholder, right?"

"Yoyo, I understand it very clearly, and I also said it's not interesting to Apple? I've seen through these eyes."

Guo Muzhou turned around and after saying that, he knocked Han Xuan's head: "Don't interfere now. Apple is different from other companies. Its equity is too messy. There are several Wall Street tycoons standing behind him. The management is in chaos, and it will not be beneficial to intervene in randomly."

"Where can I do it? I won't touch it for at least four years."

"Not four years later!"
Chapter completed!
