7.2 billion RMB? How was that possible?
Of course, it was possible. Daqian Entertainment's VCD players had achieved amazing results in Fusang.
Although Daqian Entertainment's VCD players were provided to Fusang Daquan Entertainment for free, it was because Daqian Entertainment did not have enough money in the beginning. When they had enough money, they paid for all the previous expenses.
Daqian Entertainment's VCD players earned 500 RMB in profit. 11 million units before the end of the year, that was 5.5 billion RMB in profit. Including other big profits, Daqian Entertainment had earned 7.5 billion RMB in profit.
After that, it was a total of 750 million RMB to be divided equally among all the employees present.
Because the Da Qian Empire had undergone a certain degree of simplification, as well as the division of personnel of the super army plan, the Da Qian Empire, which had 30,000 people during the New Year of 1994, only had 16000 people now.
The 750 million RMB was divided equally among these 16,000 employees. Everyone got an average of 46800 RMB as a year-end bonus. Everyone was shocked again. As for the employees who were distributed to the Super Group, Boss Jia also ordered the factory to give out 10% of the profits as a bonus. But these employees could not get as much as 46,800 RMB as a bonus.
After the money was distributed, the Daqian Group's annual meeting was basically over. But when the banquet was about to end, Boss Jia suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, there is an extra benefit this time. That is, a 10-person tour group in England. You can ride on my private jet!" Boss Jia smiled and said.
"A private jet tour to England?" This sudden news made all the employees rub their hands in anticipation. However, after Boss Jia's mysterious rules, all the employees were speechless. This was because Boss Jia had chosen the employees who were ranked in the top ten of the year in terms of performance points. He didn't even give them the chance to test their luck.
Soon, these people were announced. One of them was a familiar face. It was Liu Rong. His GPA was the highest among all the employees. His year-end bonus alone was 100,000 RMB.
After the 1995 annual meeting ended, Boss Jia only stayed at home for three days. Then, he brought his family and the top 10 employees to his private jet.
Many of the employees were flying for the first time in their lives. They were very excited. Along the way, they were so noisy that Boss Jia couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
The speed of this private jet was indeed very fast. Normally, it would take 20 hours, but it only took them 12 hours to arrive at the London airport. Then, the international tour group that Boss Jia had contacted earlier sent someone to pick them up at the airport, and they began their 10-day trip to the UK.
However, to be honest, ten days was a little too long. Thus, Boss Jia only toured the main attractions of London with the tour group for the first three days.
But from the fourth day onwards, Boss Jia could not be found.

"I remember, according to her autobiography, before 1996, she wrote in a café called Elephant House!" Boss Jia muttered from his memory.
Although Boss Jia knew the name of the café, he did not know where in London it was. He could only sit in the car and walk down one road after another, hoping to see the café called Elephant House.
In the end, the one who found Elephant House was Jia Chang Tian. Because when he passed by a certain street, he suddenly cried. Boss Jia and Zhu Qiushui had to stop the car to comfort Jia Chang Tian.
When Boss Jia got out of the car to get some fresh air, he found out that Elephant House was actually hidden in a small alley.
Because the alley was too small, it could not accommodate a car. No wonder Boss Jia could not find this café a few days ago.
"Come, let's go get some coffee!" Boss Jia said with a smile. Then, he brought his wife, son, and a security guard into the Elephant House Café. At first glance, Boss Jia saw the face of the woman he had only seen in novels in his previous life.
At this moment, the woman was really sitting in the café, writing furiously. Occasionally, she would take a sip of coffee. It seemed like she was planning to drink this cup of coffee for a day and a night.
"Boss, who is this beautiful lady? Why is she writing here?" Boss Jia asked the shop owner even though he already knew the answer.
"She is writing a novel. She can write until night time with a cup of the cheapest coffee. There is also free air-conditioning. Of course she is writing here!" The boss said unhappily.
"I understand!" Boss Jia nodded, completely confirming the woman's identity.
"Beautiful lady, can you show me your masterpiece?" Boss Jia asked in fluent English.
"Of course!" The woman nodded and handed the manuscript in her hand to Boss Jia.
"Harry Potter." Looking at this familiar character, Boss Jia no longer had any doubts.
"This novel is amazing!" Boss Jia exclaimed. "Beautiful lady, I wonder if you have found a publisher to publish this book?"
"This …" JK Rowling's expression was a little gloomy. She smiled bitterly and said, "Other than you, no one else likes my novel. Naturally, there is no need to talk about publishing it."
"Then let me publish it," Boss Jia said quickly. "I can buy the copyright of the entire 'Harry Potter' series. I guarantee that you will be satisfied with the price!"
"How did you know that I was planning to write a series?" Hearing Boss Jia's words, JK Rowling asked in shock.
"I deduced from between the lines. I feel that this is not a story that can be written in a simple book!" Boss Jia said.
"Oh my god, have I met a soulmate!" JK Rowling could not help but exclaim.
— — —
JK Rowling only spent a cup of coffee a day to enjoy the cafe's air-conditioning service for free. This showed how poor JK Rowling's financial situation was.
Therefore, when Boss Jia proposed to buy the copyright of the first book for one million US dollars, he could buy every subsequent cup for one million US dollars. At the same time, he would give her 20% of the royalties in the future. Naturally, JK Rowling could not refuse such an offer.
Soon, the copyright of the entire 'Harry Potter' series, whether it was written or not, fell into the hands of Boss Jia. When Boss Jia left with his wife and son, JK Rowling looked at the contract in her hand and the one million US dollars that was about to enter her account. She could not help but feel that she was going crazy.
"He only spent less than seven million dollars to buy the copyright of the entire Harry Potter series. This is too cheap!" Boss Jia couldn't help but sigh.
