Investing in real estate is a very realistic approach. Although he already has a high-level building under his name, buying a courtyard house depends on luck. Basically, the courtyard houses with good locations already have their own owners.

Fortunately, Zhang Chu was not particularly anxious, but just had this idea.

He and Zhou Kang walked around the alley for a while and were surprised to find that they were lost!

"Didn't you say you'd return to the memorial hall on the same road? Why didn't you find the way after walking for almost half an hour?"

Zhou Kang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and after walking, he started to steam on his head.

Zhang Chu took out his cell phone and did some positioning navigation, then patted his head and said in annoyance: "It turns out that we went in the wrong direction at the beginning, but now we are a little far away. Why don't we take a taxi to get the car at the Meilanfang Memorial Hall?"

"How far is it?" Zhou Kang asked unwillingly.

“About 4 kilometers…”

The original 1 kilometer journey turned into 4 kilometers, but Zhou Kang was unable to say anything.

The next time I beat him to death, I won’t let this kid lead the way. His old bones are almost gone!

Fortunately, when I went out of the alley, it was a busy street. Zhang Chu waved to the side of the road for a long time before the taxi that I had time to stop.

At this time, they were so hot that they took off their scarves and held them in their hands, and sat behind the taxi and kept flowing down.

Zhang Chu fanned his scarf and said happily in pain: "We have been playing in the serious alley."

"Next time I'll come to the alley after you buy the Siheyuan."

After hearing the conversation between the two, the taxi driver did not say that they were whimsical, but said, "The courtyard house is rising so much now. I remember that in 2007, a rich Russian man spent 100 million to buy the courtyard house. All of us think he is rich and blinded by lard. As a result, how much is the courtyard house worth now?"

"500 million?" Zhang Chu felt that more than ten years have passed since 2007, and it seems that there should be no problem with so much increase.

The taxi master snorted contemptuously, "500 million? 500 million is worth 3! At that time, the courtyard of 3,000 square meters is worth 1.5 billion now! It is said that people come here to live once or twice a year, and the world of rich people is really unimaginable."

Zhang Chu always felt that he was quite rich, but living in a 3,000-square-meter courtyard house felt so exaggerated. Could it be that he lived in a place like Grand View Garden?

In the second ring road of Yanjing, where every inch of land is valuable, such a large house is indeed worth the price!

But he didn't want to wake up in bed hundreds of square meters every morning, and he had to drive for half an hour to eat breakfast. Such a Mary Sue Jack Su's life is really exaggerated.

If you buy the Siheyuan, you can take your grandma over, and maybe you can bring her the flower planting place to grow some tomatoes or something.

It should be much larger than the courtyard in the rural home when I was a child, so that the old lady would not be so unfamiliar.

In the conference room of Nanhai Publishing Company, the general manager is doing a work report for 2019.

"I have always believed that it is every editor's dream to be able to operate a work that is longer than a person's lifespan. This year our company has achieved a very brilliant and brilliant rescue, published 5 national key books, and 4 projects have been listed as the 13th Five-Year Plan for the National Key Books. The number of works with sales exceeding one million is more than 15, which is the best in history!"

Employees all applauded. For private publishing companies, sales are the lifeline, which means that the year-end bonus will be very generous this year.

"Although we have achieved gratifying results, we must take our work next year to heart, and we must maintain the idea of ​​sustainable development. First, we must clarify our responsibilities, standardize management, and formulate the responsibilities of various positions in the company. In addition, we must strengthen the planning of novels and literary books to enhance the company's characteristics and influence."

"In 2019, the independent planning of the book shipment was 940 million, an increase of 30% over last year; the sales were 720 million, an increase of 26% over last year; the sales revenue reached 410 million, an increase of 18%; the actual collection amount could reach about 430 million, an increase of 30%; the reprint rate of books was 40%!"

The so-called Mayang refers to the word used by the book publishing and distribution department to refer to the total price of all books. The price consisting of Arabic numerals (codes) and units of money (foreigns) are printed on a book. Multiplying them to get the total price is called Mayang.

For example, if a book is priced at 21 yuan and the number of printed and published is 10,000 yuan, then Mayang is 210,000 yuan!

Of course, Mo Yang is a theoretical number, and the actual number is Shi Yang.

Because when publishing houses supply goods to distributors, they will provide certain discounts, such as 60% off, 70% off, 50% off, etc.

Simply put, among the figures given by this leader, 940 million yuan is the theoretical value, and the actual value is 720 million yuan, which is quite good.

Many listed publishing companies have not reached this number this year, but their Nanhai Publishing Company has reached the threshold of one billion!

The competition among publishing companies is very fierce. Currently, the companies in the first camp are Chinese Media, Phoenix Media, Zhongnan Media, and Changjiang Media, with operating incomes exceeding 10 billion yuan.

In addition, Ludong Publishing House also has operating income of more than 8 billion yuan. In fact, the gap between Nanhai Publishing Company is quite far, and it is only in the top 20 at present!

The growth rate in previous years has been relatively limited, but this year, with the help of many works by Zhang Chu, all indicators formulated at the beginning of 2019 have been exceeded!

It is almost impossible to help performance growth by dozens of percentage points on the basis of hundreds of millions.

There are indeed writers of the same level as Zhang Chu, but they only publish a book in one or two years, and Zhang Chu can publish four or five popular works a year.

Not only can one be matched by two, but it is no problem to match ten writers!

"Our goal next year is to create long-term and best-selling works, not only to sell well, but also to sell well. Just like Zhang Chu's works this year, "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue" has been sold for a whole year, but it is still among the top 50 in the single-day sales list, far higher than the market average. If his series is written according to the plan, the total sales volume will be more than 40 million copies!"

According to Zhang Chu's plan, there are eight works in the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series, and on average, each sales of 5 million copies are basically no problem, so 40 million copies are not a problem at all.

Now the second "Longling Mysterious Cave" has been on the market for five months, and its sales have reached 3.8 million copies, which are slowly polished under the leadership of the elder brother.

The publishing house actually likes this series of works the most, which means it has a large group of fixed consumers!

"Our good start in 2020 is placed on "Norwegian Forest". Whether the code can reach one billion next year depends on whether the works Zhang Chu will create next year are the same as this year."

"Mr. Wu. Many consumers and dealers are asking us to release our works in advance. Since it is a good start, we might as well move "Norwegian Forest" to be launched on the market on New Year's Day! The goods are basically in place now."

"We have also discussed the issue of seizing the initiative, which is very feasible, but Xiao Gu has to communicate with Hanlin Culture, and we must seek the other party's opinions."
