Chapter 406 Joining forces?

This meeting was very successful, and it was impossible not to be successful, because Youjianqi's net profit in the past six months is indeed considerable! When Zhao Yan bought this station last year, Youjianqi was still operating at a loss. At that time, the boss of Youjianqi, Jin Jianhu, had lost confidence in Youjianqi and had no more money to continue filling this bottomless pit, so he sold it to Zhao Yan at a low price.

Now, in just one year, the net profit in the past six months has exceeded 5 million. If Jin Jianhu heard about this profit, I wonder if he would regret how many days he would not be able to eat?

Anyway, Zhao Yan is in a good mood. The company, both new and old employees, feel excited and confident in a future with sword energy. In this situation where everyone from boss to employees is satisfied, how could such a mid-year summary meeting not be successful?

The good atmosphere at the meeting continued to the celebration banquet after the meeting. Everyone smiled and ate. As the boss, Zhao Yan and editor-in-chief Wang Qin, the technical department director Xi Jian, the copyright department director Zheng Houwen, and the technical backbone Tan Jun all ushered in the alcohol test.

Almost everyone toasted them. Zhao Yan's alcohol tolerance was OK. Seeing that the wind was wrong, he also paid attention to controlling the amount of drinking whenever he received a toast, so he did not make a fool of himself at the table. Wang Qin usually directly managed the entire company and was so majestic that no matter who toasted him, he did not dare to force him. Basically, the toast was done by the toast. He was casual, so he was not drunk. Xi Jian was a relatively low-key person and didn't talk much in the company, so he didn't drink much today.

So, Zheng Houwen, the new director of the copyright department, attracted most of the firepower, and everyone toasted him frequently. Seeing that he attracted everyone's firepower, Zhao Yan, Wang Qin and others did not "rescue", but instead watched the show with a smile on their faces.

"Supervisor Zheng! I remember you said you like to drink! Come on! I'll do it! You like to drink today, but you have to drink it well! No, no! You have to do it even if I do it!"

"Supervisor Zheng! Come! I will also toast you! Under your leadership in the past six months, the copyright department has achieved such fruitful results. I want to toast you on behalf of all colleagues in the company! This cup must be done! I will toast you on behalf of all colleagues! Alas... That's right! Beautiful! Beautiful!"

"Super Zheng! Come on! Let's have a drink! Supervisor Zheng! Let's tell you, you were deceived by Xu Shun just now!" This is Su Junyu.

Zheng Houwen scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Why did Xu Shun lie to me?"

Xu Shun was also sitting aside with a smile and watching what Su Junyu said, everyone's attention was attracted.

Su Junyu held the wine glass and said seriously to Zheng Houwen: "Xu Shun is not General Zhao nor Editor Wang! He is not qualified to represent all colleagues in the company! Did you think you were deceived by him just now?"

Zheng Houwen was stunned, while the others were hilarious, and Xu Shun, who was sitting next to him, also made her shoulders shrugged.

Before Su Junyu finished, he held the wine glass in front of Zheng Houwen and shouted generously: "Come on! Manager Zheng! I won't lie to you! I don't mean others, I will toast you this glass of wine on your own! If you respect me, just do it with me, otherwise, I will do it, you can do it at will!"

After saying that, before Zheng Houwen could react, Su Junyu raised his neck and drank all the wine in the glass, then lit up the bottom of the empty cup to Zheng Houwen and stopped talking.

Zhao Yan can actually guess why everyone is concentrating on toasting Zheng Houwen today.

There are probably several reasons: First, Zheng Houwen later joined Youjianqi, and as soon as he came, he served as the director of Youjianqi copyright department. Although he was a senior editor of Oracle and was poached by Wang Qin for a high salary, there were still many people in the company who were jealous of him, who crawled on their heads as soon as he came, and also jealous of his high salary.

You know, Zheng Houwen's current salary in the company is comparable to that of editor-in-chief Wang Qin.

2. His leader has a less qualification than other leaders. Although the copyright department he has led in the past few months has achieved brilliant results and achieved remarkable results, this is just performance, and his prestige has not yet been established. Therefore, everyone dares to toast him and dares to concentrate their firepower on him.

3. Perhaps it is because he said in the company that he likes to drink, and his versatile personality shows that everyone dares to make fun of it.

...

Halfway through, Zhao Yan went out to the bathroom. While washing his hands next to the pool, Fan Long also came out of the bathroom. While washing his hands, Fan Long asked Zhao Yan: "A Yan! What day do you plan to go home this summer vacation?"

After washing his hands, Zhao Yan put his hands under the dryer to dry the water stains on his hands. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's go home and stay for a while. If there is anything wrong with the company, he will come back. If there is nothing wrong, he will stay at home for the summer vacation!"

Fan Long glanced at him, washed his hands and gave him a thumbs up.

"You are still free and easy! You are a good-looking manager!"

Zhao Yan laughed and did not refute.

He has never liked to interfere too much in the company. He is self-aware and has no experience or confidence in managing the company. It is more reliable to leave it to a professional like Wang Qin.

Besides, Wang Qin has done a good job this year, and he has no need to intervene. If he has any opinions, he mentioned Wang Qin and Wang Qin has not failed to execute it any time.

Moreover, he hasn't been home for half a year, so he is really a little homesick.

I missed my own bed in the attic at home, and the balcony outside the attic and the dishes my mother cooked. I ate more and more times in the hotel, but Zhao Yan found that only the dishes my mother cooked were the most suitable for his appetite.

No matter how exquisite the dishes in the hotel are, I always feel that there is a lack of feeling.

When leaving the bathroom, I happened to see Wang Qin walking towards her. Zhao Yan nodded with a smile and Fan Long smiled and said hello: "Editor Wang is here to go to the bathroom, right?"

"yes!"

Wang Qin responded to Fan Long with a smile, hesitated for a moment, stood still, and said to Zhao Yan: "Mr. Zhao! Can you wait for me here? I have one more thing to report to you alone!"

"oh?"

Zhao Yan was a little surprised and looked at Fan Long beside him. Fan Long was slightly stunned. Seeing Zhao Yan's gaze looking at him, he immediately woke up and smiled and said, "Ah! Then A Yan, I'll go first! You two bosses will have a good chat later!"

"OK!"

Zhao Yan smiled and patted Fan Long on the shoulder, watching Fan Long leave. Wang Qin said to Zhao Yan again, "Wait for me!" and then quickly walked into the bathroom.

What does Wang Qin want to report to me? Why didn’t you say anything at the meeting just now?

Zhao Yan thoughtfully walked to the empty seat next to him and sat down. This was a double table next to the window, about ten meters away from the cash register.

While guessing in his heart, he subconsciously took out a cigarette and popped it up and held it in his mouth. Just as he was about to light it, he saw a waiter passing by. Zhao Yan raised his hand and shouted.

"Hey! Hello! Please bring me a pot of tea! I want two cups! Thank you!"

The waiter was stunned for a moment and immediately smiled and agreed.

"Okay! Please wait!"

Zhao Yan waited for a few sips of cigarettes here. Wang Qin quickly walked out of the bathroom while shaking the water droplets on her hands. She looked around at the bathroom door and saw Zhao Yan sitting in the seat by the window, and walked over quickly with a smile on her face.

While sitting opposite Zhao Yan, Wang Qin smiled and joked: "Mr. Zhao! You are sitting here leisurely. If you are seen by other colleagues who come to the bathroom, you will definitely think you are deliberately hiding here!"

Zhao Yan laughed.

"Then I'll tell them, you're hiding from the bathroom!"

"Ha ha!"

Wang Qin was amused by Zhao Yan.

Amid laughter, Zhao Yan picked up the cigarette box on the table and opened the lid and handed it to Wang Qin. Wang Qin thanked him and naturally pulled out one from the box and put it in her mouth.

Zhao Yan did not show any boss at this time. He put down the cigarette box. Wang Qin reached out to his pocket and had not yet taken out the lighter. Zhao Yan had already used the lighter to turn on the fire and came to him.

Wang Qin was a little surprised and smiled.

"Thank you! I'm flattered!"

Wang Qin caught fire and lit the cigarette. She was about to speak when the waiter brought the tea Zhao Yan had just asked for.

He slowly put down the tray and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Yan and Wang Qin respectively. The waiter said, "Please use it slowly" before turning around and leaving.

"You just said that you have something to tell me alone?"

Zhao Yan held a cigarette with his right fingertip, held the teacup with his left hand and leaned over to his mouth, raised his eyes and looked at Wang Qin and asked casually.

Wang Qin did not serve tea, so after taking a breath of cigarettes, he nodded and said, "Yes! Mr. Zhao! The World Bookstore has quoted us again! This time they offered more favorable conditions!"

While speaking, Wang Qin paid attention to Zhao Yan's expression.

"oh?"

Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows a little surprised, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, leaned back relaxedly, leaned on the back of the chair, and asked with a smile: "Tell me, let's see! What conditions did they have this time?"

As one online novel after another has been adapted into movies and TV series, not long ago, Wang Qin reported to Zhao Yan that the World Bookstore had quotation of 5 million yuan, and that those who wanted to buy Zhao Yan had the sword energy.

5 million, the net profit of 5.22 million in the first half of the year summarized at the mid-year meeting was released, and the quotation of 5 million not long ago by Tianxia Bookstore was completely a joke.

If the conditions were still the same, Zhao Yan naturally could not agree.

At this time, Wang Qin still chose to report to him alone. Zhao Yan estimated that the quotation of Tianxia Bookstore should have increased by several levels this time. Otherwise, Wang Qin would just refuse, or just mention it to him on the phone. Why is it necessary to report to him alone here today?

Wang Qin smiled, raised her right hand, stretched out her five fingers, and said, "50 million! Mr. Zhao! The World Bookstore has offered 50 million this time! Buy 90% of our shares and say that you can keep 10% of your shares, and you will be paid dividends every year in the future!"

"hehe!"

Zhao Yan was amused.

He pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray on the table, clapped his hands and asked with a smile: "Do they know our net profit in the first half of this year? 50 million 90% of the shares? Are they too smart? Or do they think I, Zhao Yan, are you too stupid?"

Wang Qin also laughed, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "Mr. Zhao! I know this offer is too low! However, when they gave this offer, they didn't know that our net profit in the past six months exceeded 5 million! The reason I reported this to you is because I think that if the Tianxia Bookstore was not clear about our profit in the first half of the year, it could at least show their sincerity! You should know that the price you bought was only 350,000 a year ago. In a year, they first offered 5 million, and now they offered 50 million 90% of the shares, which is enough to show their sincerity!"

After listening to Wang Qin's analysis patiently, Zhao Yan picked up the teacup again, waking slowly while raising his eyes and examining Wang Qin's expression. At the same time, he also thought about the reason why Wang Qin spoke for the World Bookstore in his heart.

Is he trying to sell the sword energy to Tianxia Bookstore, and Wang Qin is so good to enjoy the cool under a big tree? Or is the promise given to Wang Qin, such as shares, such as high salary, or intermediary fees, so Wang Qin is so helpful to Tianxia Bookstore?

Several thoughts appeared in Zhao Yan's mind while drinking tea. Wang Qin did not avoid Zhao Yan's gaze and let Zhao Yan look at him calmly. Zhao Yan could not tell more emotions from his face.

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Yan slowly put down the teacup and asked Wang Qin with his eyes.

Wang Qin smiled slightly, faced Zhao Yan's gaze and said, "Mr. Zhao! I personally think this is an opportunity for strong cooperation! If it is well operated, we can take advantage of this opportunity to leap forward and completely distance ourselves from other similar paid reading stations! At least within three or two years, we will never have any opponents!"

"oh?"

Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes, became a little interested, put his hands on the table, raised his chin, and said, "Tell me about your thoughts in detail! What is a powerful cooperation method?"

Seeing that Zhao Yan was interested, Wang Qin was also excited, put his arms on the table, and leaned closer to him and said to Zhao Yan in a low voice: "Mr. Zhao! Think about it! Tianxia Bookstore and Jiuzhou Reading are as famous as the Oracle Bone Inscriptions in strength! And we have sword energy! We can also say without guilt that we are already the leader among similar paid reading stations. If our two companies cooperate deeply and have many excellent works of sword energy, we can directly send them to Tianxia Bookstore for publication. Other works that could be published or not, I think because of our cooperative relationship, it is likely that they can be published at Tianxia Bookstore for publication! Moreover, during the cooperation process, we can also attract many readers who originally only read the physical books of Tianxia Bookstore. We have sword energy! Right?"

Zhao Yan nodded slightly and said nothing.

So Wang Qin continued: "It's not only that! As the top three publishing houses in the publishing industry, the world's book club is ranked in the top three, and even two, and one. They own many novel publishing contracts. If we cooperate with them, we have the hope of getting the electronic copyright of most of the signed authors' works in their hands. If we get it, we have sword energy to put it on sale! There are many famous artists under the world's book club! Mr. Zhao! If we can sign all the electronic copyrights of those works in the world's book club, our monthly net profit will definitely increase a little!"

Zhao Yan was a little moved.

"How do you want to join forces with them? What kind of joint efforts?" (To be continued.)
