On the 1st of June, 1993, Boss Jia, who had stayed in Fusang for three months, had to return to Hua Xia. This was because many things had happened in Hua Xia and the Boss Jia had to deal with them personally. However, before he left, Boss Jia had to hold one last meeting to sort out the various problems of the Daqian Fusang branch.
Speaking of which, the Daqian Fusang branch, under Boss Jia's management, was now as big as the head office in China.
For example, today's meeting included the senior executives of the Daqian Fusang branch, the senior executives of Roundvale Corporation, the senior executives of Dengeki Bunko, the senior executives of Rocket Corporation, and the senior executives of Boss Jia's four branches in Fusang.
This was also the first time these senior executives had met. Roundvale Corporation was the most dumbfounded. They originally thought that Boss Jia only had one Daqian branch in Fusang. They didn't expect that the Rocket Corporation and Dengeki Bunko, which had been extremely popular recently, were also owned by Boss Jia. This was too awesome. Roundvale felt that they had found a super strong backer.
"Alright, since everyone is here, I don't have much time left. Let's start the next meeting!" Boss Jia said quickly, "First, I hope that each branch will report your situation and your income for the past six months."
"Then, let's start with Roundvale!" Boss Jia called out Roundvale's name first. Roundvale's current president, Hiroichi Takano, quickly stood up and reported, "President, we, Roundvale Corporation, are currently working hard to complete the production of Ultraman Tiga. Among them, the filming in Huaxia has already been completed. What's left is a small part of the filming in Japan. Other than that, there's only the post-production left. We can guarantee that we'll complete the first 30 episodes of Ultraman Tiga before October. The remaining 26 episodes can be completed as the show airs! "
"As for the income, I'm very sorry. We haven't helped the company make a profit yet, but the production cost has already consumed 1.23 billion yen!" Takano Hiroichi finally said with some shame.
"Very good!" Boss Jia nodded. "But don't keep your eyes on the TV version. We can start preparing for the movie version of Ultraman Tiga!"
"Also, the main toys and accessories this time, such as Ultraman figurines, dolls, and the model of the God's Light Stick. Contact the manufacturers as soon as possible. Once Ultraman Tiga is broadcasted, push them all to the market. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Hiroshi Takano nodded repeatedly. At the same time, Jia Yapeng took out a box of CDs from the desk drawer and placed it in front of Hiroshi Takano. "This is the latest laser CD, and it comes with a CD burner. Ultraman Tiga, in addition to making videotapes in the future, you can also make some CD masters for me."
"Yes!" Hiroshi Takano nodded. However, he did not understand why an additional CD version was needed. The Fusangpeople had always used videotapes and videotapes.
As for playing CDs, that was basically something that could only be done by computers. Hiroshi Takano did not understand why Boss Jia had specifically asked him to make a CD master.
Although he did not understand, he just had to follow his leader's orders!
"Alright, next up is Dengeki Bunko!" The boss looked at Xia Qiu Shiyu, then smiled and said, "Miss Shiyu, tell me about the current situation of Dengeki Bunko!"
"Yes!" Xia Qiu Shiyu stood up, looked at the others, then said proudly, "Reporting to the president, Dengeki Bunko has sold a total of 6.72 million light novels so far. After our large printing machine arrived, the printing cost was reduced to 178 yen per book. In addition, we ended the sales subsidies for all the shop owners, so the profit has increased by 100 yen. In the end, the profit per book is about 150 yen."
"So, 6.7 million light novels have brought in a total of 800 million yen in sales for the company!"
"However, if we include the 100 million yen subsidies paid to the shop owners and other expenses, Dengeki Bunko's total profit for three months has reached 600 million yen!" Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu's report attracted a lot of attention. She had earned 600 million yen in three months. Were novels also so profitable now?
"Let's talk about the essay prize!" Boss Jia said.
"Yes!" Xia Qiu Shiyu continued, "Our essay prize is also in full swing. Although there are still five months to the end, we have already received 12,000 submissions. Although some of them are malicious submissions, the number of valid submissions has reached about 9,237!"
"Among them, after careful review by our editors, 8,123 submissions have been eliminated in the preliminary review, and more than 1,000 submissions have entered the review stage."
"We plan to eliminate another 800 submissions in the review stage, leaving only about 100 to enter the final review stage! However, this is only a part of the data, because according to our estimates, there will be about 10,000 submissions sent in in the future. When the time comes, we will have to readjust the review data! "
"However, although we have not entered the final review stage, we have already found some very interesting novels in the current submissions. This is the catalog and outline of these novels. President, please review it!" Xia Qiu Shiyu handed a list to Jia Yapeng.
Needless to say, the first two names on the list gave our Boss Jia a shock.
Xu Yuanxuan and Naru Mushroom had actually submitted their submissions!
Xu Yuanxuan's novel was called "The End of the Magical Girl", and Naru Mushroom's novel was "The Seven of the Holy Grail".
Well, the embryonic forms of the two future masterpieces had actually come out.
"Pay attention to these two people!" Boss Jia circled the names of these two people, and then said to Xia Qiu Shiyu, "No matter what the works of these two people are, at least give them a premium award. In addition, arrange for their works to be published, and then let them become contracted authors of the company!"
"Yes!" Xia Qiu Shiyu froze for a moment. She didn't expect that these two people would win Boss Jia's favor with just a book title. Could it be that they are people that Boss Jia knows?
Although she was very curious, Xia Qiu Shiyu still agreed without hesitation.
"In addition, you don't have to wait until all the submissions are closed before announcing the results. This kind of time is too long! Can you find a way to announce some of the results first? "Boss Jia said with a frown.
"But President, how can we announce the winning works before the submission is closed?" Hearing Boss Jia's words, Xia Qiu Shiyu was a little dumbfounded.
"Who said there is no way?" Boss Jia glared at Xia Qiu Shiyu, meaning that he would teach her a lesson tonight, and then said, "You all have to diverge your thoughts. It is not necessary to announce the results after the submission is closed."
"In this way, Dengeki Bunko will make an announcement to the public, saying that in order to encourage all the authors who submit as soon as possible, Dengeki Bunko intends to announce the list of the winners and works of some of the elite rewards, and then sign an agreement with these authors for the printing and distribution of works, as well as giving them bonuses for their works!"
"However, this time, only the list of the elite rewards will be announced. The highest level of rewards and excellent rewards will still be announced after the end of the essay competition. However, these winners will be selected from the list of those who have already received the elite rewards!"
"In this way, you will announce a group of elite rewards winners every month. Anyway, our elite rewards do not set a specific number of winners, so there is no need to worry. As long as it is a good work, it can be listed on the list!"
"After the awards are given out, we have to urge the authors who have won the awards or signed contracts to start writing their novels. We have to release the first batch of novels before September this year. After all, we can't just rely on the few books I've written to make money. We still have to rely on those authors to make money!"
"If we publish books for 100 authors, even if each person only buys tens of thousands of books, we can earn hundreds of millions or even billions of Yen. Do you understand?"
"The more authors write books, the better we will suck their blood. Do you understand?" Boss Jia said the words of sucking their blood in a dignified manner, and the others nodded one after another, indicating that the boss was right.
