Chapter 418: Once the Twelfth Lunar Month Begins, Life Becomes Chaotic (First Update)
As soon as he entered the twelfth lunar month, his life became chaotic, with family affairs and work affairs, especially for Song Tangtang. Since Zhao Hongjun was planning a new company in Hainan, she had to take care of all the affairs in Xijing. I leave early and come back late every day, and eat at the company at noon. I can't take care of my children at all.
Fang Minghua's parents put it together and simply let the young couple move back to their own home in Xingfu Community. The grandson Lele and the old couple will be taken care of, and the granddaughter Ruirui will be taken care of by her biological mother, so that they can save traveling back and forth.
As for Fang Minghua, he is unreliable.
As soon as the twelfth lunar month comes, he socializes a lot.
No, tonight, we hosted a banquet for the president and deputy president of Huayue Literature and Art Publishing House at Xijing Restaurant. Of course, it was about the book number of Shengshi Company.
This time both husband and wife went, and the protagonist was Song Tangtang.
"Manager Song, for the sake of Chairman Fang, I can't say more! You also know that buying and selling ISBNs is illegal!" President Wang said at the banquet.
Song Tangtang can also understand President Wang's difficulties.
This is the relatively conservative Qin Province, not Guangdong Province, let alone Hainan!
"Understood, understood. Thank you, President Wang and President Liu, for supporting our company's business." Song Tangtang raised his glass with a smile.
After a banquet, the two parties quickly reached a verbal agreement. Shengshi Book Company will purchase up to 5 book numbers from Huayue Company this year, with a price of 180,000 each. Tomorrow, both parties will sign a formal contract.
On the way home, Fang Minghua drove the car and glanced sideways at Song Tangtang, who was sitting silently in the passenger seat, and asked with concern: "Tangtang, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Song Tangtang replied, sighing faintly: "When will our private publishing company be able to obtain its own ISBN like the state-owned publishing company?"
It's still early.
Went after 2000.
Of course Fang Minghua couldn't tell the truth, but he just comforted: "This is a national policy and we can't tell clearly, but no matter what, the company will have rice in the pot this year."
The "meter" Fang Minghua mentioned is the book number.
"But five is not enough. According to my plan, Xijing will publish at least 8-10 books this year. In addition to the two books recommended by Lili, I also want to publish the latest collection of essays "My Baby" written by Sanmao from Taiwan. ", "Farewell My Concubine" by Li Bihua from Xiangjiang, and "Essays from Yashe" by Liang Shiqiu. There are eight books in total. "
Listening to his wife's nagging, Fang Minghua realized that Song Tangtang wanted to build Xijing into a book company that publishes best-selling books with certain literary value.
That's fine.
Now that the country has not officially joined the Universal Copyright Convention, let’s gather some more wool.
"By the way, there is also the fourth part of your "Swordsman in the Snow"! You have to finish it quickly!" Song Tangtang said suddenly.
Fang Minghua was shocked when he heard this.
Now I kind of regret writing this 2 million-word novel, I don’t have time.
Fortunately, I had a relatively leisurely few months in Luyuan last year and worked hard on coding. Now the last step is only the ending.
"Okay, okay, I'll write it when I get back." Fang Minghua said helplessly.
On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Hongjun finally returned after staying in Hainan for more than a month.
In the evening, Fang Minghua and his wife met him at their home.
Damn it!
We haven’t seen each other for more than a month. Why is this guy so dark and fat?
The black color is due to the sun poison in Hainan Island, which is understandable, but why have you become so fat?
Song Tangtang couldn't help but joked, and Zhao Hongjun immediately felt aggrieved.
"Tangtang, you don't know how difficult it is to get things done if you don't know the place you're familiar with! Since we are going to do something in Hainan, we need to have good relations with all parties, right? During this time, I have been treating guests every night! Not in Drinking is on the road to drinking.”
"Red Army, with your drinking capacity, you will probably be drunk every time and you may not be able to perform live." Fang Minghua laughed.
"You don't know this. I don't drink well, but my secretary Liu Xue is great. She drinks almost all my wine."
When it comes to this young female secretary, Zhao Hongjun is full of praise, saying that she is beautiful, smart, knows how to get things done, and has a large capacity to drink, so she is very dignified when taken out.
"Red Army, you have to be careful. Liu Xue is an unmarried girl, so don't let anything happen to you if you drink!" Song Tangtang interrupted and reminded.
"I know, isn't this just the beginning? We need to open up the situation, and there will be less in the future!" Zhao Hongjun said.
In fact, it's just a book publishing company. Why do you need to get to know so many people?
Song Tangtang knew in her heart that Zhao Hongjun was a person who liked to make friends. Of course, he probably also had his own ambitions.
Forget it, don’t talk about this.
"Red Army, how is the preparation of the company?" This is what Song Tangtang is concerned about.
"Although Hainan has not yet officially established a special zone, the work efficiency is very high!" Zhao Hongjun was even more elated.
"Basically, all kinds of certificates and licenses have been obtained, and we can officially start the business after the beginning of the year. This time our company's registered capital is 5 million."
Song Tangtang nodded after hearing this.
Shengshi Books has developed rapidly in the past few years, and its assets now have reached more than 40 million. As of the end of January, the cash lying in the account was as high as 7.5 million, so it is not easy to spend 5 million to register and open a company in Hainan.
If funds are tight in Xijing, the worst possible scenario is to quietly transfer some of it, which is what companies are doing now.
"Once I had a drink with a deputy director of the Hainan Planning Commission, and he told me that this time the country has given Hainan a very strong preferential policy. All corporate income taxes are levied at 15%, and local income tax is exempted!"
Oh my god, it's much more favorable than Qin Province and Pengcheng!
Song Tangtang was delighted to hear this.
Fang Minghua didn't care much about this. Anyway, he was behind the scenes and he didn't bother to ask about the specific affairs of the company.
"Hey, Dai Jiali, the college student who graduated from the Yanjing Foreign Affairs College that we met, has he come to see you?" Fang Minghua interrupted.
"Yes. I was still sleeping at that time, and she knocked on the door to wake me up, saying that you introduced her to apply for the job. Anyway, we are short of people now, and I think this girl is not bad, so I hired her."
"It just so happened that Liu Xue and her friends arrived later and brought two books that needed to be translated. I gave her the responsibility and asked her to find her classmates to translate them. We will pay them according to the national translation fee standard."
"I also met her classmates, there are more than a dozen of them. I told them that our company will translate a batch of foreign books one after another. These two books are selling well abroad and will definitely sell well in China. But if they don't sell well in the future, it means that you didn't translate it well! Don't think about cooperating again in the future!"
"They promised that they would translate it well. In order to catch up with the progress, they didn't go home during the Spring Festival and stayed in Haikou!" Zhao Hongjun said the last sentence proudly.
Fang Minghua shook his head after hearing this.
I don't know what the parents of these students will think if I don't go home during the Spring Festival?
Forget it, I don't have to worry about it.
