The four women chatted in the room for more than half an hour before walking out of the room.
In the living room, Zhou Qingyue, lying on her father's body, looked at Guan Ling curiously and asked her father in a low voice if she wanted to call her aunt?
The two little guys, Zhou Bingheng and Zhou Bingxu, also opened their eyes wide and looked back and forth at their father and Guan Ling.
"Well, you all have to call Auntie, Guan... Aunt Thirteen."
When the words came to his lips, Zhou Jimin suddenly remembered that it seemed interesting to call him Thirteenth Aunt.
By the way, Guan Ling's appearance is absolutely passable, no worse than the Thirteenth Aunt in the movie Once Upon a Time.
Xu Mei and the others looked at Guan Ling, who was also speechless, "Why do you call me Thirteenth Aunt?"
"You will know later." Zhou Jimin chuckled but did not say anything. Guan Ling rolled her eyes and ignored him.
"It's mysterious, Jimin, please take a look at these information. We have collected information about some publishing houses on the island."
Qin Jingru took a stack of information from the table next to her, but Zhou Jimin shook his head and said:
"I just watched it, let me know your opinions."
They all sat down, Guan Ling remained silent and listened quietly.
When she first arrived, she didn't understand many things, so staying silent was the best choice.
Qin Jingru was the person in charge of the publishing house, so she was the first to speak.
After all, Xu Mei and Ji Buchu are both pregnant, so they are not suitable to come forward.
"There are dozens of publishing houses in the information, but there are only five publishing houses that are suitable for our acquisition. Among these five, I think the one that is more suitable for acquisition is..."
In fact, there are more than dozens of publishing houses on the island.
However, most publishing houses are subsidiaries of several major newspapers.
There are also some publishers with yellow backgrounds, and these are not even on Qin Jingru’s list of considerations.
Because the yellow publishing house has old machines, complex personnel, and is all controlled by the underworld. Why are you here?
The advantages and disadvantages of the three publishing houses she chose were also clearly explained, as were their prices.
After listening, Zhou Jimin looked at Xu Mei, who agreed, but expressed a slightly different opinion.
Jibu Chuhe said that it also depends on the capital chain and shipment volume.
Whether a publishing house makes money depends on whether it has good content, and content is not so easy to obtain.
In addition, you also need to form your own security force.
Because she found that the security on the island was really worrying. In the past, it was just rent collection, which was not a big problem.
But when it comes to publishing houses, it's better to say that they haven't grown bigger. If they do, it would be too dangerous to go shopping with children holding gold and silver jewelry without the power to protect them.
"What Gibb said makes sense. You still need to worry about this matter." Zhou Jimin nodded and continued:
"Actually, what you said is very good. Guan Ling, please listen carefully. I may need you to come forward in the future."
"I'll give you a suggestion: hire someone who is good at running the company with a high salary. In this case, you don't have to work too hard..."
But this suggestion was rejected by Xu Mei and others.
They have just started, and when their enthusiasm is high, how can they need others to manage the company?
They were so bored that they wanted to find something to do.
Besides, I’m just starting out now and money is needed everywhere, so how can I not save money?
Guan Ling no longer knows what to say. They are actually discussing buying a factory. How much money do they need to afford the factory?
Moreover, isn’t this capitalism?
Although it is somewhat deviant, Guan Ling finds it quite exciting.
From the moment she decided to follow Zhou Jimin, she was ready.
However, she didn't expect that Zhou Jimin was more courageous than her, and he played with heartbeats.
"Okay, if you like to be busy, then let's do this for now. We'll go check it out tomorrow and sign a contract to buy it if it's suitable."
Zhou Jimin did not hesitate, but made a quick decision.
Then he asked Guan Ling and Qin Jingru to go to the trunk of the car to get a box.
The two of them did as they were told and carried the box back.
After a while, the living room was filled with exclamations.
Because the box is full of novels and comics, and they are color comic books.
For Zhou Qingyue and their three little brats, this opened up a new world.
Qin Jingru and the others are delighted with these works, which means that the publishing house they are about to acquire will definitely make a lot of money.
Dozens of novels and dozens of comic books, it must be a bloody profit.
However, while they were happy, everyone remembered what Jibu Chuhe said just now. Without their own protective power, I am afraid that no matter how much money they make, they will not be able to keep it.
So, they began to discuss how to form a security force, how to acquire a publishing house, and how to make a profit.
During their animated discussion, Zhou Jimin happily coaxed the children and took the three of them back to the bedroom.
"Dad, draw my sister first, and then draw your two brothers, okay?"
The three little guys naturally didn’t say anything bad.
They all stared at their father with wide eyes.
Zhou Jimin, like a magician, took out many drawing tools and a huge piece of drawing paper.
In addition, there are boxes for brushes, paint boxes, etc. As for the drawing board for drawing paper, that is even simpler.
We directly used local materials, including stools, tables and chairs, and quickly assembled a simple drawing board from the children's bedroom.
Under the astonished gazes of the three children, Zhou Jimin moved quickly, first drawing the general outline of the little guy, and then describing the details.
In a short time, the black and white version of the painting was ready, and the three children jumped up and down with joy.
"Dad is so awesome, so much like my sister."
Zhou Jimin was also very happy to be admired and praised by the children.
However, this painting is only the first step, and the next step is the moment to witness the miracle, because what he wants to paint is a 3D portrait.
Therefore, the next step was quite time-consuming. Fortunately, the children were full of energy and were shocked and excited by his amazing painting skills, so they were not sleepy all the time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
More than half an hour later, in Zhou Jimin's super-supernatural state, he finally drew the child Qingyue on paper by taking a photo.
Not to mention this era, even in later generations, having such painting skills will be very powerful.
But in this day and age, drawing paper, which is like taking a photo, is amazing.
The three children were very happy to see that their father had finally finished the painting, jumping up and down and shouting.
Such a big movement summoned four women who were discussing money-making plans in the living room.
Then, they also saw Zhou Qingyue on the drawing board, and their eyes widened in shock, their mouths opened, and they were completely stunned.
After the shock, they began to ask, and when they learned that Zhou Jimin had drawn it, they all looked at him.
His eyes are filled with desire and affection.
What a treasured man he is, his miraculous photography-like painting skills are really shocking.
"Jimin, draw one for me quickly. I want to keep it well so that I can take it out and look at it when I get older."
The four girls all have such a request. The purpose is not only to love beauty, but also to record the moment of their youth and beauty, so that they can recall it when they are old and lose their beauty.
"It's too late today, let's do it tomorrow."
The two little guys Zhou Bingxu and Zhou Bingheng were immediately disappointed. They won't be able to draw until tomorrow? And they have to queue up behind their mother and three aunts. Sure enough, the younger brother has no human rights.
There was nothing to say all night. In the next few days, except for occasionally going back to the tenement building to sign in to prove that he was still alive and had not been deceived by the enemy, Zhou Jimin spent the rest of the time in the villa on the top of the mountain.
Although Guo Houde and the others were worried, there was nothing they could do.
After all, if Zhou Jimin really wants to run, no one can stop him.
On the other side, the spies stationed on the island have not been able to track Zhou Jimin for several days and are on the verge of an explosion.
"How big is the island? There are a dozen of you and the gang members, there are hundreds of people in total, and you can't even find a single person?"
"Assholes, eat shit!"
The spies who were scolded could only become cruel and wander around the island day and night, just to track down Zhou Jimin.
Unfortunately, Zhou Jimin would change his image whenever he went out. Several times in a row, when he passed by gangsters, spies and others, he was regarded as a passerby.
Therefore, Xiaodao is young, but it is difficult for them to catch Zhou Jimin.
In addition to these spies, the people from the Lujiguo Group at the Peninsula Hotel are also anxious.
I have been urging Guo Houde and the others every day, but unfortunately they have been blocked by them with various excuses. Therefore, there is no point in rushing. I can only pay the room fee and contribute to the island's GDP.
After four or five days of leisure, Qin Jingru and the others finally set up the structure of the security company and publishing company.
The security company is currently recruiting ten veterans from the mainland, all of whom have families, including six female soldiers and four male soldiers.
Having these ten veterans is equivalent to having a seed. If you want to continue to expand the scale in the future, you can do it soon.
Publishing companies, on the other hand, are relatively complicated. They not only have to purchase machines, but also recruit people.
They are mainly sales staff, which need to be recruited in advance and trained well.
Although the island is not big, piracy is prevalent now. If you want to eliminate the piracy problem, you need to make some efforts.
"Jimin, I regretted seeing these pirated books." Qin Jingru looked at the information on hand with a frustrated face and wanted to back out.
Through investigation, the best-selling books at present are martial arts novels such as Jin Yong's Blood Sword. However, piracy is prevalent in the market.
The Blue Blood Sword is a novel that was serialized in a newspaper eight years ago. It has been serialized and published a long time ago.
The results of publishing books are not very good because piracy is prevalent.
Although the pirated paper is shoddy and some handwriting is not very clear, for most poor people, it is difficult to make money and cannot afford expensive genuine books, so they can only read these pirated books.
Even Xu Mei and the others felt very unlucky and worried about the future of the publishing company.
When Zhou Jimin heard this, he burst into laughter.
"It's too easy to solve the piracy problem."
"Tell me, how to solve it?"
Qin Jingru and the others immediately looked at him with bright eyes, and Guan Ling even used a coquettish tone, eager to know the answer.
In the past few days, Zhou Jimin has been staying with them, and he has become somewhat intoxicated in the gentle countryside.
Youdao means not to love the country but to love the beauty. The words of the ancients are still very reasonable.
"Okay, stop shaking, I'll tell you right now."
Zhou Jimin coughed and then began to explain.
In fact, the problem of piracy is difficult to eradicate, but there are still ways to stop it and suppress the living space of these pirates.
As a regular publishing house, we definitely can’t ruin our brand, so we can publish as normal.
There can even be two editions, one is a regular edition and the other is a collector's edition.
In addition, a publishing house is being established to publish pirated editions.
"We do piracy ourselves?"
Qin Jingru and the others looked in disbelief, but Xu Mei was thoughtful. This move seemed to be fighting fire with fire, and its lethality was self-evident.
"Yes, we have to be prepared. In fact, the profit from pirated books is the biggest piece of fat." Zhou Jimin snapped his fingers and continued.
Regarding the source of paper, you can order it from the mainland or purchase used paper to further reduce costs.
Even machines, personnel, etc. can further reduce costs, and marketing methods also need to be followed up. Instead of looking for others, just look for gangsters to cooperate.
"Ah? Gangster?"
The more they listened, the more surprised Qin Jingru and the others were. This was no longer deviant, but contrary to the original intention.
It makes absolutely no sense!
"Idiot, who asked you to find the real gangsters? Most of the people coming from the mainland are poor families, as well as dock workers. These are the people we can unite and cooperate with."
Who has the most people on the island?
There is no doubt that porters and other poor people at the bottom are the largest group. The number of these people is larger than the number of gangs.
