After lunch, Cheng Tianyuan returned home exhausted, changed his clothes and fell asleep.
Xue Ling slept enough last night, but just took a nap and went to the study to read.
Unexpectedly, after halfway through the look, the door was knocked!
Xue Ling looked up and found that it was his youngest son with a bad face.
"Lao Lao? When did you come back?"
Cheng Huanchong replied with a pouting lips: "Just now."
After speaking, he walked in angrily and sat in front of Xue Ling.
"Mom! I was threatened by someone earlier! I was angry!"
Xue Ling asked with a hilarious question: "How to threaten? What are you threatening?"
Cheng Huanchong said in a deep voice: "Threatening to ban my works, and to make me publicly known to fans. I will be a big shot and refuse to participate in fans. There will be various scandals! Not only that, they also want to ban my future royalties, making me poor and careless in this industry. In the end,
Nothing can be obtained."
"Oh?" Xue Ling raised his eyebrows calmly and asked, "Are you afraid?"
Cheng Huanchong pouted: "I'm not afraid, I'm angry! Why does the author have no choice at all? Why? The platform provides us with a platform, but we have a mutually beneficial relationship, not a sale||
They are slaves and servants. Do you know what the editor says? Now is the capital market, and it is not my turn to be a little writer. The so-called pride of literati can't stand three meals. She told me to recognize the facts and not for a moment
I was impulsive and did something wrong, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to recover even if I kneel down and beg the editor-in-chief in the future.”
"Wow!" Xue Ling asked in surprise: "Are you saying so too much?"
Cheng Huan Chong hummed softly: "Otherwise I wouldn't have been angry and almost couldn't help but pounce on me and beat me up!"
Xue Ling held her chin and asked Buxu Bushui: "What did Lawyer He say? How did you chat with her last night? Have you shown her your contract?"
"Look." Cheng Huanchong said: "She asked me to attend the signing party today, so that no other fan interactions can be visited. She also asked me to take all the screenshots of the editor's threatening me. She said, leave the rest to the matter to
She. I kept doing it all the time. I heard the editor say too much earlier and recorded the words she threatened me one by one and sent them to Lawyer He.”
Xue Ling gave a thumbs up: "It's very good. It's the most important thing to know how to protect your rights. Since Lawyer He has already guaranteed you, don't worry, and give it to her for full resolution. Lawyer He is a very professional
If she can give such a guarantee, you should keep your heart in your stomach."
"I'm very relieved." Cheng Huanchong's eyes turned slightly, "But, I still want to discuss something with you."
Xue Ling nodded and said, "Say."
Cheng Huanchong lowered his voice and asked, "Mom, you said - can I take down that publishing house?"
"Plate it down?" Xue Ling asked: "What does it mean? Buy it? Or buy it?"
Cheng Huanchong shook his head: "Buy it directly and find someone to manage it yourself. Don't let evil capital erode this industry, so that this industry can be protected better and more perfectly."
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then put the book in her hand down.
"Buy it? I bought it all? Including the staff?"
Cheng Huanchong answered yes and explained: "There is no need to make too many changes, except that I am the boss. Of course, the boss's business philosophy and ideas are completely different from before. I will let the author's talents be better displayed, as long as the talented author
All can be cherished and available on my platform.”
Xue Ling was a little worried when she heard this and advised: "Son, calm down and don't be impulsive."
"Mom, I'm not impulsive." Cheng Huanchong defended: "I have been having this idea for many years! I used to have no money, and I only thought about part-time jobs in the industry I like, and I didn't care about anything else at all. But now it's different,
I have applied for the art major I like, and I may live with this industry for the rest of my life! I can buy this company through the assets I have in my hands, transform it into a cultural company in my mind, and seek benefits for my peers in this industry.
, let this industry retain a pure land."
"Don't be anxious." Xue Ling said softly: "If you have something to say, don't be impulsive. The third brother, the cultural industry is a very potential market, but my mother is not a professional, so I can't tell where it is good or where it is bad. You have
This is a good idea, but I hope you push this plan backwards.”
"Push?" Cheng Huanchong asked anxiously: "When did I push it? I'm already in college, and I have money on hand."
Xue Ling shook her head: "First of all, you just entered university and changed to a brand new learning environment, so you need time to adapt to the environment and temporarily unable to get rid of others. Second, you don't have any experience in doing business and shouldn't be there.
Zi impulsively does something to achieve success. It is not difficult to buy the next small entertainment company or publishing house, but the difficult thing is to manage it day by day. Your dream is very good, but unfortunately your dream is very difficult to realize, especially in the current culture.
When the industry is of varying quality and chaos, you need time to observe, adapt slowly and be prepared.”
Cheng Huanchong swallowed his saliva and couldn't react.
"Mom, I...I thought you would agree soon."
Xue Ling pursed her lips and smiled: "How come you think so? Haven't I analyzed it with you before? The purpose of cultural companies is very simple, that is, making money. There is actually no major contradiction between art and making money. They
It can promote each other. Art is of high value to promote investors' profit revenue. However, if the investors' direction is wrong and even make decisions that are contrary to the market, art will be dragged down and even become a victim of the capital market.
It's a very, very sorry. Your ideal is indeed very good, but it's not easy to realize. First of all, your company needs to rent a place, hire people, water and electricity, etc., which means that your company must make a profit, otherwise everyone will not be able to do it sooner or later.
When a dream conflicts with reality, should you stand there? If you don’t face the reality, your company cannot survive. If the company cannot survive, how can you talk about your dream? How can you escort your dream?"
Cheng Huanchong's eyes turned and he whispered: "If there is not much money... you can still try it. Moreover, mom, you have given me so much money, so don't worry at all."
"I have already started to worry after hearing what you said." Xue Ling asked with a smile: "Even if my mother gives you a mountain of gold and silver, you have to find a way to keep it, instead of thinking about digging out a piece of it.
One piece here, one piece there, one mountain will soon be gone. Son, it is easy to start a business and it is difficult to stay in business. After you experience it later, you will understand what your mother means."
"mom……"
"Don't hurry." Xue Ling said softly: "Let me check the specific situation of this cultural company and publishing house, and then talk to you in detail. As for your suggestion, I will not accept it for the time being. If you find out after investigation, it is really worth it.
Investment, then rethink it. Do you think this arrangement is good?"
