Chapter 164 Million Records
Liu Hongmin looked at him speechlessly. Can't you pick a nicer word to describe it?
Yang Guiren took out the contract and said, "This is the contract for "The Grim Reaper". Where are the other manuscripts?"
Liu Hongmin took out the manuscript of "Justice Bao 9" and pushed it in front of him. Yang Guiren didn't even look at it and put it in his bag. The "Justice Bao" series has long formed a fixed purchasing group, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it.
"anything else?"
"What else?" Liu Hongmin was stunned for a moment, "Are you talking about The Donkey Gets Water?"
"Of course!" Yang Guiren nodded. "Mr. Donkey is so popular in mainland China that I didn't even need to investigate. The editor at the publishing house told me."
Liu Hongmin: "The Donkey Gets Water is too short, not enough to be published as a book, right?"
Yang Guiren thought about it and realized that it was true. However, he soon remembered that Liu Hongmin had written other short stories. "Brother Liu, please give me the copyright of "The Last Military Expenditure of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty". The two books together will be enough for one book."
"You really have a way."
Liu Hongmin scratched his head helplessly, "Okay! Prepare the contract!"
Yang Guiren took out a blank contract from his bag, filled it out on the spot, and pushed it in front of Liu Hongmin, "Sign it!"
"You are really well prepared!"
Liu Hongmin signed his name, then took out a booklet and handed it to Yang Guiren.
"You are more prepared than me. You even brought the manuscript in advance?"
"I brought this for an old gentleman. Please use it quickly and return it to me as soon as possible."
This is for Mr. Wang, otherwise why would Liu Hongmin carry his novel with him? He is not a narcissist.
"Don't worry!" Yang Guiren picked up the booklet and put it in his bag, then stood up and said goodbye. "I'll send it back to you tomorrow."
After sending Yang Guiren away, Liu Hongmin started to inspect the company. He went to the screenwriters' studio and looked at the progress of the script creation for "Happy Little Monk 2". The general framework has been completed, and the content is almost filled in. It will be completed in a few days.
Zou Shifang wrote the script of Fenglingdu himself. He now writes a novel every year, and then turns it into a script, which is enough for his family. Last year, he converted the company's dividends into Japanese yen and invested in the Japanese stock market with Liu Hongmin, hoping to get a share of the profits from Liu Hongmin.
After walking around the company, Liu Hongmin returned to his office. While he was free, he wanted to write the script for "Detective 4".
In the evening, Li Lizhen drove a sports car to pick up Liu Hongmin.
"Honey? Aren't you done yet?"
Liu Hongmin finished writing this paragraph and put the pen down. "It's done. Let's go!"
Li Lizhen immediately ran over and took Liu Hongmin's arm, "Let's go home! I've prepared something delicious."
"What's delicious?" Liu Hongmin asked puzzledly.
"You'll know when you get back!"
Back at the villa, Liu Hongmin was very puzzled, "Where are the delicious foods?"
Li Lizhen threw off her coat and threw a coquettish glance at Liu Hongmin, "Isn't that me?"
Liu Hongmin: “…” The next morning, before Liu Hongmin got up, the phone rang.
Zou Shifang's voice came from the phone, "Yesterday's box office for Detective 3 came out, 354 million."
"It's only the fourth day of the New Year, how come there are so many fewer items?" Liu Hongmin asked with a frown.
Zou Shifang explained: "Some companies started working on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, so it is normal for the box office to be lower."
Liu Hongmin nodded. "As long as it's normal, is there anything else?"
Zou Shifang was silent for a moment, "You haven't gotten up yet, have you? Please control yourself!"
Liu Hongmin felt an itch in his chest and turned his head to look at Li Lizhen. Who could resist such a gentle place?
In the afternoon, Liu Hongmin and Li Lizhen went shopping in the mall and watched a movie. There were many people in the cinema and the attendance rate was very high.
The box office on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year was 342 million, and the box office in the first week was 1820 million. The box office on the sixth day of the Chinese New Year was 321 million, and the total box office exceeded 203 million. The box office gradually decreased in the following days, and on Friday the box office dropped to 300 million. However, by the weekend, it rose again to more than 1900 million, and won more than 3800 million in a single week, and the total box office was nearly million.
By Monday, the box office had dropped by 50%, to only 160 million. It then gradually fell, falling below 100 million on Thursday, and returned to over 100 million on Friday. Over the weekend, it took in nearly 400 million, nearly 1000 million in a single week, and nearly 4800 million in total.
There is still more than a week before "Inspector Mads" is released, and the total box office will definitely exceed 3 million.
Liu Hongmin has finished writing the script for "Detective 4" and gave it to Wang Yaowei, "Take advantage of the box office to break 5000 million and try to sell the copyright to Waifu."
Wang Yaowei nodded, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
After the film matter was settled, Liu Hongmin called Zou Shifang and went to the investment agency.
The investment agency was going smoothly. "All 3500 billion yen has been used to buy stocks of big companies in Japan. The stocks in Japan have risen a lot in recent times. Your current assets have risen to 3700 billion yen."
Liu Hongmin couldn't understand the financial statements, so he handed them over to Zou Shifang. He picked up the Japanese stock quotation sheet and slowly flipped through it.
Japan's manufacturing industry is still very strong now, so it is not the best time to invest. However, after the Plaza Accord is signed, Japanese products will lose their competitiveness and the manufacturing industry will lose its vitality. I don't know if these stocks will fall at that time.
Then he shook his head. Even if the manufacturing stocks fell, it would be useless to buy them. What he wanted were factories, machinery, and technology.
If he wanted to get these, he had to buy the factory and move it to the country. Obviously, given the hatred the Japanese had for Liu Hongmin, they would not allow him to move the factory's equipment out.
This is a game at the national level, and Liu Hongmin can't help. The only thing he can do is to help provide some funds.
A few hundred billion yen should be enough to buy quite a few factories.
Zou Shifang has finished reading the financial report and said, "No problem."
"That's all!" Liu Hongmin said without further ado. He put down the report and said to the person in charge of the investment agency: "Keep an eye on the Japanese stock market. Be sure to notify me if there are any major changes."
"Okay, sir, don't worry, we are professionals."
A few days later, the box office of "Detective 3" exceeded million. Wang Yaowei took the opportunity to hold a celebration banquet and invited representatives from foreign cinemas.
Representatives of foreign theaters are no strangers to this. They know that they will have to bleed again this time. However, despite spending a lot of money, it is definitely worth it. They made a lot of money from the first two "Detective" movies. Naturally, they are determined to make a profit from the third movie.
Liu Hongmin also brought Li Lizhen with him and talked with the representatives to learn about the information of these countries.
