Chapter 1358 Don’t Bother with This Little Thing

Joan attaches great importance to the development of film and television merchandise. She thinks this area will definitely bring great benefits to Kim Hyun-tae in the future, and CNN will also benefit from it.

This point has been well demonstrated through the sales of several cartoon movie merchandise produced by William Pictures and the sales of Kick-Ass merchandise.

Putting aside those cartoon merchandise, the revenue brought by the Kick-Ass merchandise alone is enough to surprise people.

The poster of "Super Girl" played by Coco costs less than ten cents, but it can be sold at a price of 12 US dollars, with a profit of more than 120%.

And with the popularity of Kick-Ass, Hit-Girl's poster has sold 30 million copies through stores of California Publishing House so far, bringing in revenue of 360 million US dollars.

On the other hand, how much does the poster cost?

Even if the costs of transportation and other related links are included, it is not much.

Of course, if various taxes and fees are deducted, the income will shrink.

But even so, its income is still astonishing.

And this is just one of the products surrounding Kick-Ass.

And there is still room for the sales of posters to continue to rise. Hit-Girl has not only conquered children, but also conquered many adults. These people are potential consumers of Kick-Ass.

At the same time, with the popularity of Kick-Ass, some businessmen in Europe and Asia have come to Joan to express their desire to be the agent for the sales rights of Kick-Ass's products in their own countries.

These guys are definitely not fools. They must have seen the huge benefits contained in it, so they came to the door.

And this inevitably gave Joan an idea, that is, instead of distributing the profits, it is better to hold the profits in his own hands.

The channels of California Publishing House need to be expanded and expanded abroad.

And through the sales network of California Publishing House, William Pictures' products and peripherals will be able to sell more in the future.

But this plan requires a lot of capital investment.

Without financial support, this plan cannot be carried out.

And the funds required for this plan are not a small amount.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Qiao An was not sure at the beginning that Jin Xiantai would support him and agree to his suggestions and investment requests.

But now there is no need to worry about all this.

Because Jin Xiantai clearly agreed to his plan and promised to invest the income from special steel and the income from small pills into this plan.

After all, Jin Xiantai is not stupid. He knows very well that if Qiao An's plan succeeds, it will benefit him greatly.

You know, the sales channels and networks owned by California Publishing House are quite mature.

Originally, this channel and sales network were only used to sell books, but now in his hands, it has been added to the sale of film and television merchandise and peripherals, which is considered to be an expansion of the business scope.

In addition to bringing more income to Jin Xiantai, this change also allows Qiao An, as the CEO, to see another benefit behind it.

The channels and sales network are ready-made, so it is a pity to just sell books and film and television peripherals.

If the products sold can be expanded a little bit, such as adding other products, such as children's clothing, wouldn't it be better?

In short, the sales network channels of California Publishing House must be used to the extreme so as not to appear so wasteful.

Moreover, the expansion of network channels and sales outlets will also increase employees accordingly, and these employees can also be transformed into Jin Xiantai's invisible capital and confidence, so that he will have certain advantages when facing some big sharks in the future, and even make the other party afraid.

I have to say that Qiao An really considered Jin Xiantai very thoughtfully.

Speaking of which, this is also thanks to Annie, after all, Qiao An is Annie's person.

If Annie hadn't arranged Qiao An to be with Jin Xiantai, it would be unlikely for Jin Xiantai to be a hands-off shopkeeper and live so leisurely.

After all, there are not many people like Qiao An who are trustworthy and always consider and plan for Jin Xiantai.

You must know that in reality, it is not uncommon for a "shopkeeper" to come back to do things and then the "shopkeeper" seizes the rights and interests of the owner.

After all, the benefits are coveted, not to mention that the companies under Jin Xiantai's name have huge benefits. Only Qiao An can remain unmoved. If it were someone else... hehe, it's hard to say.

"I won't ask any more questions. I can see that you already have a very mature plan. Besides, I'm always very confident in your work. So you should be fully responsible for this matter." Jin Xiantai did a good job. He didn't ask so many questions. He told Qiao An directly that he would leave this matter to Qiao An to handle, showing his trust in her.

After all, the amount of funds involved in the implementation of this plan is not a small amount. At most, it can reach hundreds of billions of dollars.

It has to be said that Jin Xiantai really did "trust people when employing them", which also touched Qiao An.

In fact, Jin Xiantai is not stupid. He has been with Qiao An for quite a long time, so he has more or less understood Qiao An and knows what kind of person Qiao An is.

Putting aside the issue of Qiao An being a lesbian, Qiao An was absolutely conscientious in doing things around Jin Xiantae, so how could Jin Xiantae not trust such a person.

Moreover, it is precisely because of the conscientious Qiao An that he, Jin Xiantai, can live such a leisurely life and be his boss.

If someone were to replace Qiao An, it would be obviously impossible for Jin Xiantai to live such a comfortable life if he wanted to be the big shopkeeper.

After all, with so many companies under his name, there are too many documents and things that need to be processed every day. Without Qiao An, Jin Xiantai would have to handle it himself.

Trust doesn't come in a day or two. It was through Qiao An's own efforts that Jin Xiantai recognized her so much and believed in her so much.

But no matter what, with Jin Xiantai's trust, Qiao An will have fewer constraints when doing things, which is of great benefit to the development of the enterprise.

Moreover, Qiao An is also very good at doing things. On many key issues, she does not act arbitrarily and will usually ask Jin Xiantae what he means.

If Jin Xiantai doesn't think it's okay, then even if Qiao An thinks it's beneficial, she will obey Jin Xiantai's will.

At this point, it can be seen that Qiao An is a very smart woman.

It's no wonder that Annie asked her to help Kim Hyun Tae, it was not without reason.

Now that the problem of film and television peripheral expansion has been solved, the next thing is easy to talk about, which is nothing more than continuing to report revenue data.

After all, there are many companies under Kim Hyuntai’s name, and there are not just a few ways to make money.

You must know that Kim Hyun Tae made his fortune by writing novels. Up to now, his novels are still sold around the world. "A Song of Ice and Fire" has now reached its fourth episode. "William's Fairy Tales" is selling well all over the world, which is very popular among children. The trend of everyone holding a copy.

Therefore, in terms of novels, Kim Hyun Tae can bring a lot of income.

After all, the population base here in different time and space is too large.

"The fourth episode of "A Song of Ice and Fire" has been released. Foreign publishers feel that you are writing too fast. After all, the first three episodes still have great sales potential, so they think they can ask you to slow down. one time?"

Qiao An conveyed the wishes of some foreign publishing agents to Kim Hyun Tae. These foreign novel publishing agents all felt that Kim Hyun Tae's best-selling novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" was published too quickly.

"Ah, do they think I did it too fast? Well, then I'll stop for two years before deciding." Kim Hyun-tae was very accommodating to this issue, and he himself felt that he did do it too fast. .

Qiao An smiled, "This month, "Song of Ice and Fire" sold 30 million copies, and "William's Fairy Tales" was even more, selling 70 million copies. After all, global sales have such figures. surprisingly.

Therefore, after putting aside the various taxes to be paid this month, the net royalties you can get are 693 million U.S. dollars, which is almost 700 million U.S. dollars. "

It's not surprising that Kim Hyun-tae has such an income. "Song of Ice and Fire" already has fans. If they bought the first three episodes, they will definitely buy the fourth episode. This is inevitable.

And "William's Fairy Tales" is also selling so well, mainly because of the charm of fairy tales, which makes children like it.

Well, this is also due to the fact that the fairy tales here in different time and space are all dark fairy tales, so of course such fresh and refined fairy tales as "William's Fairy Tales" will sell well.

After all, what parent doesn’t want their children to read fairy tales full of childlike innocence?

As for the original dark fairy tale... adults will be scared after reading it, so it's better not to use it to dazzle children.

Seeing that his boss showed no surprise, Qiao An continued: "However, from the reader information fed back by foreign publishing agents, we found that most readers have strong opinions on the third episode. At the same time, they also think that you are The main characters in the "Wolf Family" were written to death too much, and readers found it incredible. "

Well, in the fourth episode of "A Song of Ice and Fire", this problem finally arises.

Especially when the fourth episode talks about the "Blood Wedding", many readers are not very used to this scene. After all, everyone thinks that the "Lang Family" is the protagonist, and the "Wolf Young Master" has the halo of the protagonist, and now he is being killed like this. Not to mention, a large number of loyal ministers of the "Lang Family" also died, so it is inevitable that readers will not be able to bear it.

But isn’t that the charm of “A Song of Ice and Fire”?

No one of the characters in the book knows whether they will be like this in the next moment, even if they are just, loyal, and charming.

In the face of death and conspiracy, everyone is the same.

But the scene of 'Blood Wedding' still disgusted the readers.

"Many readers on the Internet are scolding me, so BOSS, do you want to issue a statement or something?" Qiao An kindly gave a suggestion.

Faced with this problem and Qiao An's suggestion, Jin Xiantai didn't even think about it. He just waved his right hand and said, "Ignore this little thing."
