Chapter 504 Want to burn money to play?
What? What are you going to publish?
I love inventions??!!
Wang Bo looked at Li Zhongxin's very serious expression, with a disgusted feeling on his face.
Wang Bo has always been very dissatisfied with Li Zhongxin's establishment of Zhongxin Publishing House.
He felt that his nephew, who wanted to start a publishing house at the time, probably didn't realize that such a thing was a money-burning thing.
From the establishment of Zhongxin Company's publishing house to the present, animation books have been printed frequently, and the printing is all exquisite.
The cost of the animation books produced by Zhongxin Company is much higher than that of other comic books, and the price positioning is basically the same as those of those animation books.
In terms of sales volume, although there are some signs of improvement, the amount of money recovered from the sales of comic books has just been equal to the amount of money printed, which is basically a loss of sales.
Wang Bo didn't comment too much on comic books. After all, Wang Bo knew exactly how his nephew made his fortune and how he made his first pot of gold in Japan.
However, other practical reference books and the like are purely money-losing things. After they are printed, they are basically half-sold and half-given. After many practical reference books are printed, they are donated to libraries.
of goods.
During the Chinese New Year, when the middle and senior management of Zhongxin Company distributed bonuses, Yin Yifeng insisted on not wanting high bonuses. He always felt that he did not do a good job when Li Zhongxin gave him the publishing house. In more than half a year, he gave
Zhongxin Company lost nearly 100,000 yuan.
This was in the 1980s, and one hundred thousand yuan was a huge sum. As for the publishing house, Yin Yifeng's bonus was three thousand yuan, and the bonuses for other publishing house employees were more than five hundred yuan.
, he always felt that he deserved it.
"Zhongxin! I said it's not good for us to do something. I always feel it's not appropriate to do publications. Besides, if you want to do this book that I love to invent, someone has to contribute!" Wang Bo frowned and felt a little bit.
He said it annoyingly.
"You don't have to worry about submissions. As long as the bonuses go up, many people will naturally come to our publishing house to submit their manuscripts. A good invention will be rewarded as fast as 1,800 yuan, and the contributors will probably grab it."
"Yes." Li Zhongxin said with a smile on his face.
Wang Bo's nose felt like he was crooked with anger. He unconsciously asked: "Grand nephew, I said you are engaged in animation publishing and practical technical reference books. Why are you still thinking about publishing something like I love inventions?"
Where are the things? Is it possible that our company really has too much money now and wants to spend it on fun?"
Li Zhongxin looked at his third uncle, nodded and said with a smile: "Hey, third uncle, why are you still concerned about such a thing today? I remember you have no interest in this aspect!"
Wang Bo glanced at Li Zhongxin with disdain and asked with a hint of dissatisfaction: "What? Is there something wrong with me asking about this? The prize money for your invention and creation award is so high, if there are so many ten or eight inventions
If a company succeeds in creating something, then the company will still pay for it? Look, in just half a month, the letters have been piled up in half the room. In the past, our Zhongxin Company’s letter volume in a year could not reach this level.
To cultivate a certain status."
"Lots of letters are a good thing! Go back and find two college students, ask them to sort out such letters, and bring some practical letters that can be converted into productivity to your office. When I have time, I will come over and take a look.
This." Li Zhongxin said very excitedly.
Li Zhongxin never expected that as soon as millions of copies of Zhongxin Company's comics were published, people would start mailing things about inventions and creations to Zhongxin Company.
These things are precious treasures. If there is a useful invention, he will never begrudge such a small reward.
In the minds of most people, the royalties paid by Li Zhongxin to be published in the book I Love Inventions are already an astronomical figure.
However, Li Zhongxin is very clear that the wealth that their inventions can create in the future will be ten thousand times or more than the royalties.
As long as an article can be published in the book "I Love Inventions", Zhongxin Company will contact the author of the article, communicate with the author of the article, and strive to reach an agreement on patent issues. Zhongxin Company will help these inventors apply for patents and transform
into something real.
At that time, the inventor will gain a lot of long-term benefits from the patent.
"What? What did you say? Tell me again." When Wang Bo heard that Li Zhongxin actually asked him to find two college students to deal with those letters, his face showed an expression of disbelief.
Damn it! Is there any mistake? Those letters are already disturbing enough, but two college students are also required to deal with these letters. Is this nephew's head kicked by a donkey?
If there was nothing wrong with my brain, I probably wouldn’t have said such a thing!
"I said, wait for you to recruit two college students with more flexible minds in the next few days, and let them be responsible for handling these letters. As long as they find an invention that they think is good, they will put the letters in your office. I will spend some time,
I will come here to read this, and if possible, edit it directly into the book I Love to Invent." Li Zhongxin did not see Wang Bo's suspicious expression, but really thought that Wang Bo did not understand what he said.
.
"Grand nephew, I think you should reconsider whether it is worth doing this. Look, it costs money to publish books! At the price you said, publishing books is almost unprofitable. If you really follow
The royalties mentioned are given to publishers who publish articles in our books, and they also need to be invited to our Zhongxin Company to complete or explain the principles of experiments. These are not small expenses. In addition to these expenses, there are also
With the money you have to hire college students, why do you have to do such a thankless task?" Wang Bo deeply disagreed with Li Zhongxin's plan to create the book I Love to Invent.
Building such a thing involves a lot of things, not to mention manpower and material resources, and there is no benefit at all. It is like working in vain to serve the people.
The most important thing is that it takes a lot of energy to do this, especially Li Zhongxin's last sentence, which is to put all the letters in his office. If nothing happens, Li Zhongxin will come here to take a look.
This is what Wang Bo dislikes the most.
