Chapter 1216: Taking Sides

Yin Jun looked at Jin Yong who was deep in thought and did not urge him, but just smiled and said nothing.

Jin Yong and Shao Yifu are actually similar.

Earlier, he also criticized some practices in the mainland because of some things.

But by the late 1980s, when the Basic Law was drafted, he was one of the advisory committee members.

After that, Jin Yong's position became as firm as Shao Yifu's.

This is also a natural thing.

Except for a small number of white-eyed wolves who have betrayed their sect and abandoned their masters, most of those who have achieved certain achievements will also tend to be traditional.

Jin Yong must be struggling in his heart now.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he knows that there is such a solution.

As for the specific operation, Yin Jun can do it alone.

"If I form a cultural exchange group, will the piracy problem of Xiangjiang writers' works be solved?" After a moment, Jin Yong suddenly raised his head and asked.

Yin Jun was stunned. Has he made up his mind?

If it had been another person, he would have deceived Jin Yong into going to Huajing first, but Yin Jun never thought about it that way.

Originally, Jin Yong was one of our own, but if we try to deceive him now, it might be counterproductive. It would be better to let Jin Yong follow the historical trajectory.

"Lao Cha, it is impossible to completely solve piracy. After all, the situation in the mainland is like that. When people are poor, they usually lose a lot of care." Yin Jun said sternly, "If you are honest, you know etiquette, food and clothing. It’s enough to know honor and disgrace. To reach this point, I’m afraid there’s still a long way to go.”

Jin Yong laughed when he heard this, "People say that Yin Jun is young, but he is definitely a humble gentleman. Now I finally understand why they admire you so much... If you just said, as long as we visit Hua Jing, the above If you give an order, you can completely eliminate piracy, but I won't believe you. Now, I think you are pretty good!"

Yin Jun smiled brightly, "I won't win over people blindly. I have to base my decision on the facts."

"So how far do you think they can go?" Jin Yong asked again.

"We can't just rely on them to do it. We can also do it ourselves." Yin Jun said, "The largest book sales channel in mainland China is their Xinghua Bookstore system. There are thousands of them across the country, and they have penetrated into every county. Basically, This is where everyone buys books online. But the prices of books here are actually not cheap.

Of course, our martial arts novels, youth novels, and emotional novels are relatively niche categories. The prices and sales methods are somewhat different, so we cannot compare them with them. However, if we print it ourselves in Xiangjiang and then sell it in the mainland, will we have greater autonomy in terms of pricing power and distribution? "

"Xiangjiang Printing?" Jin Yong frowned and then said, "The cost control of your Qilin Printing Factory is said to be the best in Xiangjiang and among the best in Asia. But can it be compared with the low labor and low costs in the mainland?"

"No problem." Yin Jun smiled and said, "Even if ours is more expensive than theirs, as long as two conditions are met, Xiangjiang's novels will definitely sell well in the mainland."

"Oh? Which two conditions?" Jin Yong asked.

"First point, let the people above order, at least in the Xinghua Bookstore system, only our genuine books are sold, then we will be invincible." Yin Jun talked eloquently, "Second point, Our books are distributed on a small profit but quick turnover basis, with a gross profit of about 10%. In this way, our pricing can be similar to those of pirated books in the mainland."

The young man dare not say that his books are cheaper than pirated books from the mainland.

No matter how he controls costs, Xiangjiang's labor and materials are no match for the mainland.

In addition, there is no need to pay royalties to the authors of pirated books in the Mainland. Yin Jun's Qilin Culture will definitely have to pay royalties, and it is not a small sum.

Upon hearing this, Jin Yong immediately said, "My royalties can be lower, as long as they are genuine."

After a pause, Jin Yong continued, "But, if you want to achieve the first point, I'm afraid the only way to do it is with a cultural exchange group, right?"

"It should be." Yin Jun didn't hold back, "Mr. Cha, it's time for you to go back and take a look. The mainland is now walking on the right path, and it will get better and better in the future. With such ten With a population of hundreds of millions, even if they are poor, it is a market worth cultivating. Not to mention that they will eventually become rich in the future!"

Jin Yong fell into silence again.

At his age, on the one hand, he definitely wants to make more money to support his retirement. On the other hand, like all overseas wanderers, Jin Yong definitely wants to return home in fine clothes, so that his hometown people, relatives and friends can see that he has achieved success. Live up to your ancestors.

He had never thought about how to express his support for which camp before, but from the bottom of his heart, if the mainland could develop vigorously, the potential would definitely be greater than that of Great Britain, which is in the sunset.

If that's the case, it would be no problem for him to contact some friends and go to the mainland to take a look.

"Well, if it were not a cultural exchange group, but a tour, wouldn't it be simpler and less troublesome?" Jin Yong asked after thinking about it.

"Okay." Yin Jun thought for a while and said: "Actually, there is no need for anything very formal. As long as everyone is unwilling to have official contact, what's not to do with private group exchanges? Mr. Cha, don't think about what they are. Everyone wants to borrow it. Compared to people in the economic field, people from the literary field may have a greater symbolic meaning."

"I know, but if you were added to this, the weight might be different, right?" Jin Yong said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter whether I go or not. Anyway, they have already classified me into the category of hard-core prostitutes." Yin Jun said, "Don't worry, for people in Xiangjiang, as long as their hearts are devoted to the motherland, then everything is fine." friend."

"good!"

Jin Yong felt confident, "I'll go back and think about it, and then I'll contact my friends when I make a decision... It's a pity that guy Ni Jiang doesn't go back, otherwise it would be better."

Yin Jun shrugged.

Jin Yong and Ni Jiang are good friends, but Yin Jun still disapproves of this person's character.

It's just that Yin Jun is not that aggressive. Ni Jiang did not come to provoke him, and he would not deliberately seek trouble for Ni Jiang.

…

After Jin Yong left, Yin Jun called Wei Xiaofan and talked about the matter.

"Jin Yong is coming? Okay!" Wei Xiaofan smiled happily, "Just in time, if he opens the door, our Jin Yong drama can be exported to the mainland! I have heard that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has become a hit all over the world. Asia, it’s a good start for our Kylin TV.”

"Maybe it's not that easy." Yin Jun said, "But when Jin Yong's book spreads all over the country, the TV series will become a matter of course."

"Yes!" Wei Xiaofan said, "Martial arts dramas are a big category. It would be great if you can join."

"It's the first time Mr. Cha and the others come here, so there won't be many people there." Yin Jun said after careful consideration: "Let us plan carefully and contact them with the greatest enthusiasm. Only in this way will we get off to a good start. From now on. It would be convenient if there is such a thing again. Don't look at what I told Mr. Cha that the influence of the literary and artistic circles is not as good as that of the financial world, but in fact they can influence entertainment stars, and the influence of entertainment stars on the public, but Larger than those in the financial sector. If done well, it will have a great impact on Hong Kong."

"I see!"

Wei Xiaofan shook his head and smiled, "You don't know how far the mainland's desire for overseas compatriots has reached! It's simply too much! It was revealed some time ago that some lawless elements pretended to be overseas Chinese and returned to China to invest, and ended up defrauding the five western countries. A huge sum of more than 5 million yuan in a poor county!

It was because of the uneven distribution of the spoils among themselves, and one of them almost lost his life, that they were exposed to each other, otherwise they would have escaped long ago! You know, those five counties are all national-level poverty-stricken counties! Their combined annual income is only 10 to 20 million, and they were defrauded of more than 5 million. What a crime! "

"A drowning person cannot even hold on to a straw, let alone the mainland, which has been impoverished and backward for decades." Yin Jun nodded, "Such things happened before and now. It will happen in the future. We can't control it. If we can do the things we are doing well, we have fulfilled our responsibilities and efforts."

"Jin Yong is one of the most famous writers overseas. In fact, many people in the mainland have read his books, but they bought them overseas." Wei Xiaofan continued, "You were right just now. It is indeed a bit awkward for the official to receive him. It's not appropriate. I'm going to suggest to the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office that they invite some literary masters here to meet and communicate with them! There have been many bad things in our country for decades, but these literary families are also talented and not inferior to the Xiangjiang literati. of."

"Okay." Yin Jun said with a smile, "Don't forget to call Gu Cheng, Lu Yao, and Ling Jie and let them participate more in these cultural exchange discussions, so that we can achieve better development. .”

"I see."

Wei Xiaofan agreed wholeheartedly.

In the past two years, Kirin Group has funded many literary figures, writers, screenwriters, directors, etc., which can be regarded as casting a wide net and cultivating more talents.

Some of them have already made their mark, some are already somewhat famous, but there are also some who have not yet developed.

However, the Kirin Group has never reduced various subsidies, allowing them all to create in a comfortable living environment. This is also highly praised by the entertainment industry in mainland China.

In any case, this good relationship has been established, so it is certainly not a problem for Wei Xiaofan to come forward and ask them to do some reception and communication work.

Not to mention that someone from the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office came forward, so Jin Yong and the others must have gained more from their trip to the mainland this time than he imagined, right?
