Chapter 23 Times Literature Publishing House

The next day, Li Chengzhi went to Taiwan's relevant units to learn about the conditions for running a newspaper. However, he was hit by the head!

At present, Taiwan is in a period of martial law and has imposed a ban on newspapers. Taiwan's newspaper industry has maintained a situation where there are only 31 newspapers. Among them, there are fifteen newspapers directly operated by the party, government and military; and among the 16 private newspapers, most of them are run by people close to the ruling party, but the operating rights of the newspaper are completely manipulated by the party, government and military. If the newspaper suddenly has remarks that are unfavorable to the government, the government may intervene and require the newspaper operator to transfer ownership.

Of course, the news that Li Chengzhi found was not all bad news. Taiwan Book Publishing House adopts a Western social system, and the threshold is very low, so it is easy to register a publishing company!

After Li Chengzhi returned home, he told Li Zetian what he had learned.

Li Zetian was shocked when he heard this. In his impression, Taiwan allowed private newspapers to be established, but now it should be after Taiwan lifted the ban on newspapers.

In fact, the ban will not be lifted until 1977!

The reason why Li Zetian first thought of establishing a newspaper rather than a book publishing house was because the newspaper was the mouthpiece and had great influence. With the Ming Pao, Jin Yong not only made him a rich man in Hong Kong, but also a very influential figure in the Hong Kong government!



Forget it, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step!

After Taiwan lifts the ban on newspapers, set up a newspaper office!

It’s also good to set up a publishing house now!



Li Zetian felt a little regretful. As a Chinese who loves his motherland, he wanted to have a newspaper in Taiwan that can adhere to social instruments, adhere to the position of freedom of the press, and maintain a transcendent and independent non-partisan. He hopes that the newspaper he created can become a clear stream among many newspapers in Taiwan!!!

"Dad, let's set up a publishing house! Instead of sharing the money with other publishing houses to make money, we might as well make it ourselves! I believe that I will write more and more new books in the future, and our publishing house will not worry about not having good works! When we have strong funds, we can sign other writers!!!"

"Well, that's all!"

The start-up capital of the publisher is enough. "The Devotion of Suspect X" made Li Zetian earn more than 30,000 US dollars, while "White Night Walk" made Li Zetian earn more, reaching US$95,000. In addition, he worked for a DEC company, and his salary plus bonus was also US$35,000. Xu Guanjie's new album was launched at the beginning of this year, and then it quickly became popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, bringing nearly US$40,000 in royalties to Li Zetian. Therefore, his current net worth is a total of US$200,000. According to the exchange rate of US$ and Taiwan dollars of 1:40, there is NT$8 million, which is also a huge amount in Taiwan.

In addition, Li Zetian's parents naturally made some money while working in Taiwan, especially Li Chengzhi, who served as the head of Life magazine. His salary and performance bonus were not bad, totaling US$25,000, or NT$1 million.

Li Zetian decided to give away $100,000 for his father to start a business in Taiwan, and he left $100,000 himself to start a business in the United States!

The next morning, Li Chengzhi officially submitted his resignation and prepared to start his own entrepreneurial journey. Even if the magazine "Life" was not sold, his uncle was no longer there, and he was not willing to work for Li Yuan and Li Jian. Coupled with Li Zetian's encouragement, he became more determined to establish his own business!

I heard that Life magazine was going to be acquired by another large magazine, and the company was panicked. When Li Chengzhi left, he was immediately in a leader. The key point was that he also took away Mr.li's resources, and Life magazine might become a second-rate magazine in the past.

Then a dramatic scene happened. When a company that was originally planning to acquire Life magazine at a high price, it immediately cut the acquisition price by half when he heard that Li Chengzhi resigned!

After Li Yuan and Li Jian received the news, they almost vomited blood.

The two of them looked down upon themselves, but they slapped them in the face, causing them to suffer heavy losses!

However, what is more serious is that "Life" magazine resigns one after another, and they all jump to a publishing house called "Time Literature" registered by Li Chengzhi in Taipei!

All the talents have been exposed, and the decline of Life magazine is shocking.

The company that originally said it would acquire Life magazine immediately changed its words and said it would give up the acquisition of Life magazine!

Although Times Literature Publishing House has just been established, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, the art editorial department, publishing department, finance department, distribution department, proofreading department, reading room, finance department, and administrative office. This is completely beyond Li Zetian's expectations. He never expected that so many people would follow his father to start a business together, but one more person has to speak, and the financial pressure is quite great. Li Chengzhi is a honest and sympathetic person, and others are unemployed.

And they came to join them specifically, and no matter what, they had to take them in. Li Zetian thought about it and decided to use the copyrights of "Suspect X's Dedication" and "White Night Walk" as collateral and borrow money from the bank to pay the employees' wages! Fortunately, they also knew that this was a startup and the salary requirements were not high. After Li Chengzhi promised them that after the development of Times Literature Publishing House, everyone would have shares options, so they felt at ease and were more motivated to work.

At present, the main task of Times Literature Publishing House in the first stage is to publish two books written by Li Zetian, "The Dedication of Suspect X" and "White Night Walk"! Of course, it would be even better if you can sign a contract with the works of a well-known writer.

Due to lack of funds and being unable to print a large number of books, Li Zetian suggested that his father use the trick of making money by making money!

First, get the money from the channel dealer first and then ship the goods.

Second, let the printing factory print books first and then pay.

It is true that not every channel dealer and printing factory is willing to do this. Some channel dealers even rely on their own "channels are king" and require delivery first and then pay for the books. However, there are always some channel dealers and printing factories with unique vision that are optimistic about "Suspect X's Dedication" and "White Night Walk". They are willing to do what Li Zetian said. Of course, for such partners, Times Literature Publishing House can give him more profits.

Next, on the one hand, we will use the contract signed with the printing factory to find the channel dealer. When the channel dealer looks at the contract, we will naturally have more confidence in the "Times Literature Publishing House", so we will have more channel dealers who are willing to pay first; on the other hand, we will use the contract signed with the channel dealer to find the printing factory. When the printing factory looks at the contract, we thought, since you have even found the sales channels, you will not have to worry about having no place to sell the printed books, even if you pay later!

Under this virtuous cycle, Times Literature Publishing House does not need to spend too much money to complete the large-scale publication of books!!!

Li Zetian just talked, and everything was actually carried out by Li Chengzhi and his team.

At this moment, Li Zetian took advantage of the holiday that he had not yet come to prepare a new book at home.

The most popular novels in this era are martial arts novels, and a large number of famous martial arts novelists have emerged one after another. Among them, Jin Yong, Gu Long and Liang Yusheng are known as the three masters of Chinese martial arts novels and are known as the founder of new-story martial arts novels.

Li Zetian also wants to be the founder.

As soon as "Zhu Xian" is released, who will compete with you!!!

That's right, he is going to write Xiao Ding's "Zhu Xian" this time and create a fantasy novel of fairy tales! Once published in Taiwan, this book soared to the best-selling list of Hong Kong and Taiwan best-selling books. With his wild imagination and magnificent narrative, his vigorous and magnificent narrative quickly became the pinnacle of Chinese fantasy literature and became famous overseas. Together with "The Journey of Ethereal" and "The Legend of the Soldiers", "The Legend of the Soldiers" is called the only martial arts novel among the "Three Strange Books of the Internet". It is regarded online as a classic novel of the same level as the works of Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Huanzhu Tower. It is known as a new generation of fantasy masterpieces with strong Chinese style that is comparable to Huanzhu Tower's "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman"!

However, Xiao Ding himself once said that there are many regrets in this book, including the description of characters, the handling of stories, etc., which did not do the best.

Li Zetian rewrites "Zhu Xian" this time, striving to create a more perfect "Zhu Xian"!

For this reason, Li Zetian went into seclusion for three days and three nights and wrote a 50,000-word outline!!!
Chapter completed!
