Chapter 125 Betting Agreement?

Hearing this, Wen Xun understood what was wrong with him. However, he asked quietly: "What do you mean?"

"We are very optimistic about Wen Xun's husband's book "The Alchemist of Steel". We even think that your book is one of the few works with excellent commercial and literary properties in the mainland Chinese market in recent years. So we want to introduce the traditional Taiwanese market to test the waters. If the response is good, it is not impossible to enter the Japanese market..."

"I'm coaxing the ghost..." Wen Xun's mouth moved slightly and complained softly. It's not impossible to enter the Japanese market... This kind of nonsense is to deceive children who have never seen the market. It's okay to cheat Wen Xun? If Wen Xun was so easy to cheat, Wen Xun's family would have been sold out by human traffickers...

Although this kind of saying "It is not impossible to log in to the Japanese market" sounds exciting, as long as it is not implemented in the contract and written in black and white, it is not much different from fooling people in the village back then. If you fool everyone builds a house in the fields, the government must pay more money for road construction, and then everyone is a nail household, and the government has to pay more money... The prospect is not more attractive than what is possible for logging in to the Japanese market? As a result, the road I had to walk from Sanliu Village, and I went around from other villages, but because Sanliu Village was opened too high.

"It's easy to say..." Wen Xun smiled, then continued to ask some key questions: "What is your company's idea about the traditional Chinese market in Taiwan?"

"According to the 10-month royalty, I wonder what Wen Xun's husband wants?" Taiwan's translator said with a chuckle.

"10?" Wen Xun just repeated this number when he heard Lan Yang come over and whisper to him: "The Taiwan market has shrunk a little in recent years. In the past, ordinary novels could be sold for 30,000 to 40,000 copies, but now it only takes more than 10,000 copies to be considered a very popular book... "

Wen Xun was shocked when he heard Lan Yang's words. He was shocked. Taiwan seemed to be very large. It seemed to be a provincial-level unit with a small number of people. The sales volume of a very popular book was only more than 10,000. You should know that the first book of Wen Xun's "The Alchemist of Steel" was shipped to Bertelsmann was 1 million. On average, after reaching more than 30 provinces, cities and autonomous regions in China, each provincial-level unit still had about 30,000 copies. This was just a printing.

"There are quite a few people there," Wen Xun asked Lan Yang in surprise. "It's more than 20 million, but I don't know if the entertainment there is too diverse, so fewer and fewer people read books. More than 10,000 books have been sold in books..." Lan Yang said some of the information he knew.

After hearing these information, Wen Xun simply shook his head helplessly. A market of 23 million people has now fallen into a book that sells more than 10,000 books, which is considered a bestseller? Compared with the sales of more than 1 million in mainland China, why does this feel like the whole world suddenly fall into a pot? Suddenly everything has become so small

Wen Xun really felt a little uninterested. Although he could get royalties no matter how many copies he sold, the royalties he received were still New Taiwan dollars, and he had to exchange them for RMB according to the exchange rate, and then he had to pay personal income tax. He had such troublesome things. Wong Xun used it to write something else to make money, would it be good?

It is not said that if Bill Gates lost his wallet on the street, and if the money in his wallet is less than one thousand dollars at this time, he would not pick it up. Because the time spent on bent down to pick up the wallet was enough for him to create a profit of $1,000.

Wen Xun felt this now. He was really unhappy just for such a little royalty and made him so troublesome. But at this moment, a Taiwanese translator said: "Mr. Wen, it's not me. I think it's better for you to agree. Our Taiwanese market is very close to the Japanese market. If you prove yourself in the Taiwanese market, you are likely to be able to enter the Japanese market. Once you land in the Japanese market, there are more than 100 million people in the market, and the book price is high. Is it good that you can get the royalties when you return to the mainland? Are you able to buy a private plane?"

It has to be said that the words of Taiwanese translator, who spoke a little bit malice, had a great "push" effect on Wen Xun. He was a little unwilling to publish a book in Taiwan. After hearing the words of Taiwanese translator, he basically had a determination not to publish a book in Taiwan.

"I was the first book of "The Alchemist of Steel" in mainland China, and I shipped more than 1 million books to Bertelsmann Book Club. All investments and profits are my own. My profits are more than 6 million yuan. Now you tell me that I am still my honor to publish books in the pot? Let's put it this way, if Japan's Kakugawa Bookstore is interested in introducing my books to Japan, then I am still a little interested. If I just enter the Taiwan market, soryy, I personally don't have that free time..." Wen Xun said sharply.

When he said this, he even used the oral pronunciation of "Laozi" that Shuchuan people are very accustomed to. In other provinces, using "Laozi" as a pronunciation may seem too arrogant, but in Shuchuan, using this as a pronunciation is simply too common. No matter who, he calls himself, he uses this "Laozi".

Wen Xun, the Shuchuan catchphrase, directly suppressed his Taiwanese compatriots. Maybe it was because Taiwan Island was relatively small and there were not many people. Many times, if you offend people, you would bow your head and look up. Therefore, ordinary Taiwanese people have relatively weak tempers and rarely have a temper. This Taiwanese translator has never seen Wen Xun speak directly like "I'm" in his life.

What's more, Wen Xun's words just now revealed a situation that Kakugawa Bookstore didn't know before, that is, this book was actually invested by Wen Xun and even made a profit of more than 6 million RMB. One book is equivalent to NT$25 million. What book can Taiwan give the author a NT$25 million royalty?

Finally, the Taiwanese translator still had no choice but to translate Wen Xun's words to the representatives of Japan as much as possible. After hearing Wen Xun's words, the representatives of Japan were also stunned. He had done his homework before and knew that Wen Xun's book was selling well, but he didn't know that this book "The Alchemist of Steel" was completely self-confessing.

After thinking about it, he still said: "Wen Xunsang said this, but please consider it a little. Our Japanese market is a very closed market and is quite xenophobic. It is quite difficult for foreigners to succeed in the Japanese market. If our Kadokawa Bookstore introduces your "Alchemist of Steel", the risk is too great...so we still recommend that you try the waters in the Taiwan market now..."

Hearing this, Wen Xun waved his hand. He originally wanted to get up at this time, but he suddenly thought of something. Wen Xun, who was still sitting on the stool, thought for a few seconds, then suggested with a light flashing in his eyes: "I heard that there is a contract in the international venture capital market called gambling investment..."

It turned out that this was something Wen Xun saw when he was reading idle books two days ago. This so-called betting investment is the relationship between the future development speed of the company and the shares. For example, the large international Morgan Stanley invested a certain Wen Xun company of 100 million US dollars.

Then Morgan Stanley certainly hopes to occupy a large-scale stake, for example, 70, but Wen Xun is definitely not happy. So both sides simply set up a bet agreement - for example, if Wen Xun's company can reach an average annual profit increase of 30 in the next five years, then Morgan Stanley will give up half of the shares and eventually only occupy 35 shares. And if Wen Xun's company does not reach an average annual profit growth rate of 30, then it may lose 100 shares to the company in his hands.

It has to be said that Wen Xun's courage is indeed great. The plan he proposed is exactly the same as the bet agreement thrown out by investment banks such as Morgan Stanley. If the first instinct of "The Alchemist of Steel" can obtain more than 500,000 copies in Japan, then Kadokawa Bookstore needs to pay Wen Xun 20 royalties. If the sales volume is less than 500,000 copies, then Wen Xun does not have a penny royalties.

Is this brave? Is it absolutely a big risk? Is it absolutely a big big? Is it absolutely a big big? Is it absolutely a big big? Is it so bold that I starved to death by the timid? How can Wen Xun be so brave? Isn’t Wen Xun afraid of something? If the sales volume is low in an hour, wouldn’t he work for Kakugawa Bookstore for nothing?

With the same idea, Lan Yang was absolutely shocked when he heard Wen Xun's proposal. He tried hard to pull Wen Xun over Wen Xun's mouth, but he was still slower. He panicked and said to Wen Xun: "Wen Xun, what are you doing? Is it a waste of money to others? The risk is too great, and it's a life of death."

"It's okay, I'm sure." Wen Xun said calmly at this time. As soon as he said this, coupled with his very calm expression, Lan Yang was confused. Lan Yang looked at Wen Xun's expression and listened to Wen Xun's words. Why did he feel that Wen Xun was really sure? Wen Xun was scaring the Japanese and pretending, or was he really sure? Lan Yang really didn't know how to react at this time. Lan Yang was familiar with the mainland market and knew the Taiwan market a little, but he was really not familiar with the Japanese market. He really couldn't help Wen Xun's help.

Wen Xun was absolutely confident at this time - he had the ability to dream, but he didn't believe it. With his ability to operate Wen Xun and his almost unlimited chance to try in his dream, he could not sell 500,000 novels on the territory of the Japanese devils? If it couldn't be sold, how could Hiromi Arakawa come to recommend him? If it couldn't be sold, how could "The Alchemist of Steel" be animated? How could he still produce the theme song?

Yes, Wen Xun knows what the future result will be like. This is his greatest confidence. He has the ability to penetrate the fog of time and space to see the future end. He has the ability to see the light of the end in the dark tunnel. So he has the confidence.

Although you may not be able to escape the various traps and cliffs on the road just knowing that the end point is, Wen Xun's dream ability can almost be tried infinitely. Wen Xun is against the sky and is against the sky here, and the monster is against the sky here.
