Chapter 307 Give me 500 million, Tang Yichen starts a business?
Only by enriching the library can we retain people.
Of course, when it comes to authorization negotiations, it works very well if you call each company one by one and use Tang Xionghua's name.
Basically, Tang Yichen can negotiate a deal with one company in ten minutes.
There was no need for too many negotiation tactics. I just revealed my identity and said that I wanted to create a website like this, but my father reminded me that I needed copyright authorization, so I asked him to make the call himself.
As for other things, in fact, most of the time, Tang Yichen could just pretend not to understand, including explaining the Internet and the like. Tang Yichen was too lazy to explain too much to them, just vaguely said what it was, and then kept talking about discussing authorization.
There's nothing I can do. I'm young and willful.
Regarding this, the heads of the department's publishing houses were at a loss for words, but they did not dare to neglect it. In the end, two of them directly offered an extremely low price and agreed to grant authorization.
Well, how low?
For example, Modou Literature and Art Publishing House owns the copyright of Story Club and some martial arts novels.
Finally, we package it up and authorize them to obtain the copyrights of all existing books at one time.
Ten thousand yuan!
For ordinary people, ten thousand yuan is actually quite a lot nowadays. But considering Tang Yichen's status and the number of books they own, this ten thousand yuan is really just the price of selling a copy of the books that their publishing house has authorized to Tang Yichen.
Of course, there were also some smart ones who did not agree to Tang Yichen first, but said they would go and ask.
They want to understand what the Internet is.
After they had learned the situation, when they called Tang Yichen again, some of the prices they asked for were not too outrageous.
Fifty thousand, one hundred thousand.
But there are also some people who open their mouths as high as possible, and some even shout out amounts of five million or even ten million.
I don’t know, I really thought that what they were selling was not the copyright authorization of the library, but fans!
This is a typical case of someone trying to take advantage of Tang Yichen's small size and the fact that his family has a lot of money to pay back, in order to test his bottom line and ask for an exorbitant price, hoping that Tang Yichen might agree.
For these, Tang Yichen simply told them to get out.
He did need a library, but Tang Yichen didn't necessarily have to collect all the novels and short stories in the country right now.
He just needs a certain amount.
Rather than the entire amount.
When Tang Yichen was talking to these publishing houses, he even said that he could do without them in the future to publish stories or novels.
This is not a good time to grab land.
In the first year of the Internet, the number of Internet users was limited.
He is just cultivating and incubating it slowly now, and everything can be done slowly.
In Tang Yichen's mind, the most important thing for literary websites has never been their existing stock.
To put it bluntly, many of the stories and novels collected by Tang Yichen can actually be found on the market.
What Tang Yichen essentially wants is just the deviation here. When the volume reaches 100 people, they can all find content they have never seen before, and this will attract people.
On this basis, Tang Yichen used other methods to directly attract people to create on the website.
To put it bluntly, Tang Yichen just wanted to create an online literature website for the future, but the current online literature websites are limited by the scale of the Internet and the number of netizens, so Tang Yichen is not in a hurry at all and has never thought about doing it all at once.
Take it slow, even Tang Yichen is planning to start writing a book on the website himself.
Nowadays, novels are full of cuckolds, the protagonists are treated cruelly, and it seems that you can't write a novel without torturing the protagonist.
Tang Yichen plans to let people of this era enjoy in advance what a cool article is, what a brain hole is, and what fantasy and fairy tales are.
Of course, there is no rush for these.
Eat your food one bite at a time and do things one thing at a time.
The first task now is to sign the book library authorization contracts with some publishing houses. At the same time, we also need to build the website and register the company. Finally, the most important and the most labor-intensive task is to find a typist to translate the contents of these books online word by word after the contracts are completed and the publishing houses mail the novels and storybooks.
This is a huge project. If Lin Wei and the other two girls were the only ones to do it, I'm afraid they would break their fingers.
But Tang Yichen also has a solution to this.
Lin Wei and the other two are all top students from Peking University and Tsinghua University. It's a bit of a waste of their talents to do this.
She plans to recruit temporary workers from several universities in the city at that time.
Outside the university, they rented a house, set up dozens of computers, and then hired temporary workers from the university to work as programmers.
After all, this thing doesn't require much technical skills. For these college students, especially those in the computer department, just having hands on experience is enough.
In short, at present, Tang Yichen has actually thought of everything.
All that’s left is the time to implement your actions.
"Dad, how long will it take for our family to get a computer?"
In the evening, when Tang Yichen returned home, Tang Xionghua had already returned and was playing Red Alert.
Tang Yichen spoke, and Tang Xionghua said without even turning his head, "June!"
Tang Xionghua was so focused on playing that he didn't even ask Tang Yichen why he asked this.
However, Tang Yichen didn't care about him.
He spoke again directly: "Then give me five million first!"
"Ok?"
This time, Tang Xionghua turned back!
He stopped playing the game, let go of the mouse, and turned to look at Tang Yichen.
"Just need money?"
Of course he knew why Tang Yichen wanted the money. It must be for his website.
Tang Yichen nodded: "Well, today I contacted eleven publishing houses and literary societies. I want to buy the authorization of their current library, and the negotiations have been completed. In addition, I need to buy dozens of computers in a few days, so I need money!"
"Moving so fast?"
Tang Xionghua was surprised.
He doesn't care about money. Money, especially a total of only five million, is nothing.
He can still take out this amount of money easily.
His only concern was Tang Yichen's efficiency.
It's only been a short time, people were just coming here yesterday.
"Hehe!" Tang Yichen chuckled. "I can't help it. My dad has become the richest man. If I don't work harder, I'll be called a spendthrift in the future!"
"You boy!"
Tang Xionghua laughed and scolded, but Tang Yichen ran out of the study with a smile on his face.
"Remember to prepare money for me tomorrow, forget about it today.
I'm going back to my room. This study is filled with a strong smell of cigarette smoke because of you!"
Tang Yichen now has tens of thousands of dollars in private money.
In this day and age, Tang Yichen is definitely considered a wealthy man with a certain net worth.
Unfortunately, if I want to start a business, this amount of money is not enough.
However, Tang Yichen did not feel any guilt about using his family's money to start a business.
After all, it seems that the money was earned by Dad alone, but in fact, Tang Yichen was behind the scenes giving him advice.
Therefore, Tang Yichen felt at ease spending the money, and he was not like the rich second generation who used his father's money to start a business.
But I am worried that others will say that I am just relying on my father's protection, which is a burden on me.
