Go back to 1990 to start a business

How could Xia Chuan dare to be so presumptuous? His mother-in-law's face would turn green with anger. He smiled and joked:

"We don't farm, so why do we have food to eat? The division of labor is different. Some people are responsible for material production, and some are responsible for spiritual food. They are both necessary."

Xiaoyun chuckled and said, "You must be in charge of spiritual food."

"Well, well, I know my sister's spiritual needs," he glanced over, frightened Shiyun and said quickly: "Just tell a joke."

Zou Fengcui understood in her heart and smiled silently.

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Tell me a joke."

"Okay. One day, my sister came back with a depressed look. My mother asked what happened? She said that her bag was robbed when she came home. So my mother quickly comforted her, saying that she was fine. But the more she comforted my sister, the more she felt Sad, she cried and said: I really can’t figure out why I am inferior to Baobao..."

Shiyun and Zou Fengcui turned over with laughter.

Xiao Yunqi's cheeks turned red, and she beat her with a rolling pin, "I'll let you spread rumors! Let you spread rumors!"

"Didn't you ask me to tell you?" Xia Chuan defended while shouting injustice.

"I asked you to tell me a joke, not my joke! No..."

Shiyun stopped doing the two jobs that made her laugh more and more.

"Okay! I understand, I'll repeat it." Xia Chuan quickly reassured her, and Xiao Yun retreated.

"A few beauties were eating hot pot together. Because the temperature in the private room was too high, within an hour of eating, their faces were all covered in sweat and their makeup was all gone. They couldn't bear it any longer, so they hurried into the bathroom to wash their faces.

Then all without makeup, come back and sit down.At this time, the waiter came in to serve the food. He was dumbfounded and asked with tears: When did you come in? When did the people at the table just run away?Haven’t purchased the order yet? "

After Xia Chuan finished speaking, he laughed first.

But then he unexpectedly discovered that none of the three women smiled, and his scalp suddenly went numb.

Come to your home on New Year's Day and scold your mother-in-law?

He knew that this misunderstanding could not be explained, and the description became darker and darker. He decisively switched the channel and said with a flattering look on his face: "Mom, I wrote a song for you last night. Can I sing it to you?"

This time the three women all laughed, believing that he was really unconscious.

Zou Fengcui smiled and said: "I don't need too high-level spiritual food, you can feed them both."

……

Ran Hong suddenly noticed that calls from the publishing house were coming in one after another. She wondered why these people were so neat and tidy. What had they been doing?

She chose the eight most powerful publishing houses in Yanjing and made appointments with them all in the afternoon to explain everything clearly at once.

By one o'clock in the afternoon, eight representatives gathered.

Ran Hong smiled and said: "Everyone is here, let's start. Let me explain a few things first. First, don't talk about reading the manuscript, it's not with me. Second, don't talk about meeting Xia Chuan. You can only go to him after signing a contract. Others He doesn’t care about things.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Everyone knew that Xia Chuan did not care about anything.

Since it's the name of Xia Chuan and the other two people, that's fine. It can be sold no matter how you write it.

They originally thought that Xia Chuan would not sign, because "The Truman Show" was like this. He planned behind the scenes and pushed his sister to the front.But I didn't expect that I was willing to sign this time. It was a guarantee that Xia Chuan would not ruin his own name.

Ran Hong briefly described the three bodies. Although it felt extremely ridiculous, he still smiled and said: "If you have no doubts, you can make a bid. This is equivalent to an auction. The highest bidder will win."

The eight people made eye contact, with smiles in their eyes. Ran Hong thought they would raise the price?Too childish.

"I offer one hundred thousand."

"I'll also pay [-]."

Others followed suit, all worth one hundred thousand.

Ran Hong finally understood how clever Xia Chuan was. Damn it, I was a little embarrassed to put forward such harsh conditions. Now, I'm sorry.

She smiled and said: "Okay. I won't waste time. I will tell you my conditions. If you don't agree with one of them, you can leave without having to bargain with me. First, the price of the manuscript is 100 million."

Everyone was shocked and secretly took a deep breath. This was definitely a sky-high record.

But considering the boss's instructions and Xia Chuan's fame and credibility, it's nothing. He can earn more than a million dollars from selling movie rights.

Ran Hong saw that no one was leaving and continued: "Second, this is selling the copyright of Simplified Chinese. It does not include the copyright of Traditional Chinese, English copyright, film and television copyright, game copyright, other languages, and the copyright of all derivatives."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Who put forward the conditions?"

"This is impossible, the country does not allow it."

"You can't publish it in China under your conditions."

"Let Xia Chuan talk about it."

Everyone booed.

Ran Hong said calmly: "If you don't agree, don't force it. It's impossible to meet Xia Chuan. Even if it can't be published in China, let's publish it with Xiangjiang first, and then sell the foreign language copyright. Isn't it possible to earn back 100 million?"

Everyone's eyes widened, and someone immediately questioned: "Who approved your overseas publication?"

"Oh, do you still need approval?" Ran Hong really didn't know, but she said with a half-smile, "What if I don't need you to approve it?"

Everyone was immediately shocked.

Nothing could be done, Xia Chuan couldn't be bothered by such a trivial matter.

Billions of dollars have been invested in the United States, so publishing a novel is nothing.

"Xia Chuan doesn't care about money. What he cares about is the reform of the publishing system. How can you prosper the cultural market and the publishing industry by squeezing authors like this? Oh, I haven't finished yet. There is a third point. 100 million is the price after tax. You Responsible for paying personal income tax.”

Wow, everyone was even more uproar.

"You want us to pay your taxes? Impossible!"

"There is no precedent for this in the country, and the country does not allow it!"

Ran Hong waved his hand and interrupted: "The publishing system needs to be reformed! Paying taxes on behalf of others is the lowest-cost tax method. If you ask the author to pay the fees himself, it will easily lead to tax evasion. Waiting for the tax bureau to investigate one by one? How much increase will it cost? Tax cost?”

"But you are not paying on your behalf, you are asking us to take the money!"

"Oh, then let's change the auction price. The deal is 120 million to 24 yuan. You can pay the tax of 100 yuan. Just pay [-] million yuan. I will get the money now, right?" Ran Hong said with a smile.

Everyone suddenly became angry. They forgot that they had the final say and the final say on how much they would sell it to you.

These people also saw that this was what Xia Chuan meant. Ran Hong himself would never have the guts to change the publishing system.

Everyone made eye contact, and someone immediately stood up: "I don't agree, leave."

gone.

Then the second one stood up: "I can't accept it, I'm sorry."

Gone too.One after another, they all left.

Ran Hong saw that there was no one left, and sneered slightly: "You still have to go to the street to discuss countermeasures? Don't freeze to death."

But she guessed wrong. These people didn't discuss it at all. They went back to their units and reported to their leaders.

At the end of the check-in, of course, everything was reported to one person.

He's the boss of the Press and Publication Administration.

The boss smiled bitterly. He could compromise on any conditions, but the payment of taxes was not in line with the system. How to operate it?

After careful consideration, I didn't dare to harass the big boss. That would look too incompetent.I just asked you to do this little thing, but you can't even do it?

But he didn't dare to go to Xia Chuan. He knew that even Jiang Yuhua didn't like him, and he was insignificant in Xia Chuan's eyes. They didn't make money by publishing books, but countless big guys wanted to read his new book.

In the end, I was forced to have no choice but to grit my teeth and reform!
