Chapter 425: The Sora Infatuated With SM
Regarding the current income and expenditure issues, Ji Kong silently calculated in his mind.
As time goes by, due to the increase in printing, the number of prints in "Sword Art Online" will increase every month, and the corresponding manuscript fees will increase.
For example, this month, the second volume of "Sword Art Online" was printed in 500,000 volumes, and the first volume was printed in 100,000 volumes, totaling 600,000 volumes, and the royalties were received at 90 million yen.
Next month, he will release the third volume of "Sword Art Online". Assuming that it is still printing 500,000 copies, and the first and second volumes will be printed 100,000 copies, then the total number will be 700,000 copies, and the royalties will be 10.5 million yen.
Although this data may not be accurate, it is probably not much different.
However, his monthly income is not only the royalties of "Sword Art Online".
"One Piece" that Shueisha is currently serializing can also bring some income to Ji Kong every month.
Generally speaking, when comics were not released in single-line books or animations at the beginning of the serialization, the manuscript fee was calculated based on pages. In Japan, the price of comics per page was generally 2,000 yen.
But this is only calculated on average.
In fact, the price of any comic that is officially serialized in "Weekly Jump" is 12,000 yen per page, which is six times the average market price.
This is also the reason why so many people want to enter Shueisha after being squeezed out.
And this is just a price cut. For example, Akamatsu Ken, the author of "The Pure Landlord and Pretty Tenant", has a royalty fee of 26,000 yen per page.
Ji Kong's fame is no worse than Akamatsu Ken. In addition, the quality of "One Piece" is also very good, and his background has an influence. So although he is a newcomer, he has received a high price of 25,000 yuan per page. If the response is good in the future, the price will be increased.
This month he drew four chapters, totaling 123 pages, and received a royalty of 3.07 million yen.
This number is undoubtedly much worse than "Sword Art Online", but this does not mean that "One Piece" has poor profitability.
The main reason is that "One Piece" currently has only four episodes, which is not enough to publish a single book, so its ability to make money is naturally worse.
Moreover, as far as Ji Kong knows, the single page royalty of Eiichiro Oda in his previous life is no less than 60,000 yen, so the prospect of making money in One Piece is still very good.
In addition, the Electric Shock Library sold the copyright of the animation in the first volume of "Sword Art Online" to a-1pitures, and Ji Kong also distributed five million yen.
There are also some miscellaneous incomes such as "Sword Art Online" peripheral sharing, advertising revenue from Tieba.
In other words, it has to be added up. Jikong's actual income this month is about 100 million yen.
Another is expenditure.
The most important expenditure at present is mortgage loans, which are about 800,000 yen per month, and a total of twenty years are paid. There is also "Pokemon" contracted to Musashino. After discussing, they paid for each episode, 6 million and 500,000 yen per episode. Currently, the twelve episodes are entrusted, and a total of 78 million yen is required, and they will pay within six months, paying 13 million per month. After the subsequent broadcast situation, they will decide whether to continue to hand it over to them.
Others, such as game production, are not expensive because they are currently in the early stages of creation; for Gancheng Guanghui Amusement Park, there is still 100 million yen left (Chapter 241), and in terms of daily operations, the amusement park is now able to be self-sufficient.
The remaining expenses of Fantasy Village clubs, the salary provided to members, the salary given to Qingshan Qihai, the expenses used for post bars, etc., are about 3.5 million yuan per month.
In other words, his total expenditure this month is about 17.3 million yen.
Including the 80 million yen for the two cars, it is 97.3 million yen.
The income and expenditure offset each other, which means that he still has a balance of 2.7 million this month.
...
After calculating the calculation, even Ji Kong himself was a little surprised. It turned out that his ability to make money was so strong without realizing it!
However, compared with the ultimate goal of theme parks, the number of 100 million yen sounds scary. If you invest in it, you probably can't even see any splashes. The investment required in that aspect is in units of hundreds of billions.
Fortunately, the most difficult land problem has been solved by myself.
Thinking about the land still deserted in the south of Gancheng Guanghui Amusement Park, Ji Kong felt that he still had a long way to go.
...
...
"Empty, is it a lot of 80 million yen?"
Looking at Ji Kong, who suddenly felt a little proud after sighing, Shiina Shizuna turned her head tilted, and a look of thought appeared in her red eyes.
"Of course there are a lot. Even if it is exchanged for RMB, it will be nearly five million yen. Many people will not be able to make that much in their lifetime."
Ji Kong touched Zhenbai's head and said with a smile.
The girl named Shiina Mashiro is addicted to painting and cannot extricate herself. She doesn't even know how to pay for buying things in the supermarket, so it is normal not to understand the concept of money.
"I still don't understand."
Shiina Mashiro shook her head.
"Then let me say that..." Ji Kong thought for a while, gestured with his hands and said, "If it was 80 million yen, the annual ring cake I bought could fill my house!"
Shizuna understood in vain. She grew up with a small mouth, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. Then she suddenly looked at Ji Kong with some anger and accused: "So I gave out a room of annual ring cakes in one go!"
"Although in your eyes, the unit of currency is the annual ring cake, you can understand the difference between money and annual ring cake." Ji Kong held his forehead with his hand: "And even if I have a room of annual ring cakes, I will only let you eat three at most a day!"
Shiina Mashiro: "Ahhhh..."
Ignoring Shiina's cuteness, Shiyu Xiazhiqiu shrugged and said, "Forget it, since Ji Jun, you don't want to expose your income, I won't ask, but the living expenses I give to me every month cannot be less... Alas, after all, I am just a poor maid, and I can only watch my master take his private money to spend money on the world..."
The first half was normal, but the second half was full of complaints. Ji Kong was too lazy to complain and decided to ignore her.
Seeing Ji Kong didn't answer, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu curled her lips boredly and said, "But then again, Teacher Kong's second volume of "Sword Art Online" is still very popular. I read it in the post bar before, and it all looked like a lot of praise, but Ji Jun, you have a few more nicknames..."
Speaking of this, Shiyu Xiazhiqiu paused, with a cramped smile on her face, and she held her chin and said slightly: "The out of context madman! I am obsessed with **'s Huo!"
"Wait!" Ji Kong couldn't help but say, "I can understand the out-of-text maniac. What's going on with Kong who is obsessed with **? This is a slander for me!"
"Well, scumbag, you'll know if you go and watch "Sword Art Online" yourself?" Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu shrugged. (To be continued.)
