After Zhao Chen handed the manuscript to Ma Rongcheng, he went straight to Shangguan Xiaobao's office. As soon as he came in, he found that Shangguan Xiaobao was not working hard as usual, but leaning on a chair, looking a little lonely, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Zhao Chen knocked on the door next to him, and Shangguan Xiaobao then reacted. When he looked up and found that it was Zhao Chen, he showed a kind smile on his face.

"Zhao Chen, sit down!"

Zhao Chen sat opposite Shangguan Xiaobao, looked at Shangguan Xiaobao's obviously dim face, and couldn't help asking: "Uncle Shangguan, your face is not good today. Has something happened?"

"Oh, it's because I can't reach an agreement with my two friends! I want to increase my royalties for Rongcheng, but the two of them didn't agree, which made Rongcheng resign from me. They are really short-sighted. With Rongcheng's talent, they may become well-known cartoonists in the future!"

Shangguan Xiaobao sighed lightly. In fact, he was very tired here, mainly because some of his views were always contrary to his two partners, which invisibly limited his performance and also limited the development of the Holy Fire Publishing House.

"It turns out that Uncle Shangguan is doing this, so you can relax. I just talked with Mazai, and Mazai agreed to stay here for a while!"

After Zhao Chen said this, Shangguan Xiaobao didn't know what to say, but his face seemed to be happy and sad. What was happy was that Ma Rongcheng could continue to stay here, but what was sad was that if he continued to stay here, it would undoubtedly limit the development of Ma Rongcheng.

"Zhao Chen, how did you convince him? With his personality, it should be difficult!"

Zhao Chen smiled and knew Ma Rongcheng's general personality. Although he didn't talk much, he was quite persistent. This was also his advantage and could help him go further on the road of comics.

"Uncle Shangguan, he wanted to go to Yulang International Co., Ltd., but I stopped him! Because I planned to start a comic company by myself, but one person obviously could not support it, so I planned to let the ma's wife enter my comic company. I would not treat him badly in terms of the treatment and remuneration. He just agreed, and he would join as long as the remuneration was satisfied."

Shangguan Xiaobao's expression changed a few times and became very fast. If Lin Feng hadn't been watching him all the time, he would have thought that Shangguan Xiaobao had not changed.

"Zhao Chen, I didn't expect you to start your own comic company so soon! I won't stop you. After all, everyone has their own ideas and cannot force it. But I still want to ask you, how are you going to publish the following comic? Is it your own publication or is it going to continue to share the money with the Holy Fire Publishing House? You should be clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the two!"

Shangguan Xiaobao knew in his heart that as long as a cartoonist became famous, something called Ambition would expand, and it would be a matter of time before it could be founded in his own comic company. This is very common in Xiangjiang.

"I'm going to publish it at my own expense!"

Zhao Chen said this with great sensation, obviously there is no room for negotiation. Although the share is safe, the cartoonist can only get a small part of the profit; as for self-paid publishing, the publisher makes the price fluctuate based on the number of publications, that is, the more the number of publishings is published, the lower the corresponding price given by the publisher, and the higher the contrary. However, it also has corresponding huge risks. If it is overestimated, the number of published significantly exceeds the number of cartoons sold, then you will have to lose money on the rest of the comics that have not been sold; and if it is underestimated, the price of publishing will be higher and your profit will also lose a part of it.

Of course, if you own a publishing house, then this problem can be solved very well! Unfortunately, it takes a lot of money to start a publishing house, and Zhao Chen doesn’t have that much money now. Moreover, if you want a publishing house to not lose money, you must have at least a group of cartoonists or writers.

"I have walked the path you are about to take like this before, but unfortunately I failed in the end. I hope you can succeed by then." Shangguan Xiaobao stood up and patted Zhao Chen's pretty generous shoulder, with a sigh.

"I will!"

Looking at Zhao Chen's firm expression, Shangguan Xiaobao couldn't help but nod. He knew in his heart why Zhao Chen came here today, so he also changed the topic: "Zhao Chen, today is the day for you to receive your royalties. See if this number is right?"

Zhao Chen took a black bag that Shangguan Xiaobao handed to him, opened it and saw that there were three bundles of paper money and some cash in it.

"The number is very right! Uncle Shangguan, I have other things now, so I won't disturb you!" Zhao Chen carefully counted it to confirm, and then said goodbye to Shangguan Xiaobao.

Although Shangguan Xiaobao was very nice to him, the two had a generation gap in age. Therefore, after Zhao Chen felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, he chose to leave.

After returning to Tseung Kwan O, Zhao Chen took his newly discharged mother to the Tseung Kwan O Industrial and Commercial Bureau. He came here naturally to register a comic company.

Minors in Xiangjiang cannot register a company. Even if Zhao Chen is famous, it is useless. Because minors are unable to bear legal responsibilities and are under custody, they are generally not allowed to serve as shareholders and legal representatives for registered minors in the company. In no way, Zhao Chen had to let his mother register the company. At that time, as long as he becomes an adult, he will transfer it.

Registering a company doesn’t cost much, you just need to give a little service fee tokenizedly.

When filling in the company name, Zhao Chen finally used the name of Tianxia Publishing Co., Ltd., which Ma Rongcheng founded ten years later. As for the location and personnel, they did not fill in it, they all looked like a bag company no matter how they looked.

After processing, you only need to come to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to collect the documents in a few days.

After completing these not-so-complex procedures, Zhao Chen and his mother returned home. Instead of drawing comics or writing novels immediately, he thought about drawing on white paper and founded the cover of the "Tianxia Magazine" that he founded later.

Of course, if you come up with any comics in the future, just add the protagonist of the comics.

The cover of "Tianxia Magazine" mainly refers to some magazines from later generations, so that it looks more beautiful on the cover. If it is placed in a bunch of magazines of various colors, it can inadvertently attract readers' attention. The cover style is really attractive now.

"God, give me millions!" Zhao Chen was wailing in his heart because his worries once again occupied his body and mind. Life without a publishing house is quite difficult for comic companies. Even if the profit earned by self-paid publishing has to be given to the publishing house. And after all, it is someone else's publishing house, so there are naturally various restrictions.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chen really wanted to rob the bank, but not long after, he took a deep breath and suppressed his inner greed and throbbing. What is the difference between robbing the bank and seeking death!

Just when Zhao Chen was working hard at home, the novel version of "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was officially published. It was because the progress of the novel was slightly faster than that of the comics, so this situation occurred.

There is only one small bookstore in Tseung Kwan O called Yaxuan Bookstore. Due to the small population of Tseung Kwan O, the daily transaction volume of this bookstore is not large, and the owner is even more idle.

However, it seemed quite abnormal on this day. Early in the morning, several readers were waiting outside Yaxuan Bookstore. As time went by, readers gathered outside obviously tended to gather more and more.

"Hey, isn't this Xiaoyu? Why are you here too?" Yang Tian was waiting at the door while watching more and more people. He suddenly saw a familiar figure waiting not far away, and couldn't help but shout at the figure.

"It's Yang Tian. I thought I was the only one in the whole class. I didn't expect you to come too! You came here for "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"!" A student with glasses heard someone calling him and hurriedly looked over there. When he found out that it was his classmate, he immediately squeezed to Yang Tian and had a chat with Yang Tian.

"That's of course, otherwise why would I do so early? You don't know how popular "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is. If you come late, you might be gone! And have you heard of it? The "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" released this time has more than a dozen chapters that have not been published in newspapers, so you can see it!"

Yang Tian looked around and then pretended to be mysterious. In fact, many novels would do this when they were published, naturally to attract readers' desire to buy. Only in this way can the novel be sold better.

"I know this. Didn't it be published in Ming Pao yesterday? I'm afraid all readers in Xiangjiang know it. Actually, I think it's most convenient to read novels and read newspapers. It's too troublesome to read newspapers! So this time I'm going to buy one and take it back and finish it slowly. Maybe it's a different flavor." A student named Xiaoyu slightly raised his glasses on his nose and explained his insights.

"You are right, it's the most convenient way to read physical books! Hey, the store manager is here!"
Chapter completed!
