Chapter 127 0127, Investing

On Saturday afternoon, Yunfeng took a taxi to Puyang Hongpu District.

"Zhongtian Building, this is it."

After getting off the car, Yunfeng checked the address sent by Zheng Rong, confirmed that he was in the right place, and took the elevator upstairs.

Although this is not one of the best office buildings in the Magic City, it finally looks like a company compared to the small warehouse in the suburbs.

"Mr. Yun, please come inside."

Zheng Rong is still so polite and courteous, which makes people feel comfortable.

"Editor-in-Chief Zheng, congratulations on the magazine's relocation. The financial resources will roll in in the future." Yun Feng also politely sent his blessings.

Zheng Rong smiled and said, "Thanks to you."

The company is much bigger inside, but there are still very few people.

Yunfeng followed Zheng Rong into the office. After a few polite words, he went directly to the topic and asked: "Chief Editor Zheng, I told you last time about comics. I wonder if you are interested?"

Zheng Rong also guessed Yunfeng's purpose, and immediately said: "I would like to ask, were those cartoons drawn by Mr. Yun?"

Yunfeng nodded and said, "I drew it."

Zheng Rong continued: "Is Mr. Yun writing comics a temporary interest, or is it the same as writing a novel?"

This point is very important. If you don't ask clearly and get involved in the comics industry rashly, without Yunfeng's drawings, it will only be a waste of water.

The domestic comic market has huge potential, but it is too difficult to make comics from scratch. Many domestic comic studios close down every year, and the only ones left alive are those comic studios that hold big IPs or are backed by big companies. , a best-selling comic is not that easy to publish.

The magazine had just made some progress, and he didn't want to pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.

Yunfeng said frankly: "It is a hobby, and it is treated as a 'profession' just like writing novels."

This is the truth, and even if there are no comics in the system rewards in the future, he can continue to publish comics. Don’t forget, he used the skill book [Skill Comics: Stand Out from the Crowd·Professional Level], and there are so many novels that can be used Comic adaptation.

Hearing this, Zheng Rong fell into thinking.

I saw him with his head half-bowed, his brows sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing.

Yunfeng laughed twice, started his own strategy, and asked: "Editor-in-Chief Zheng, I wonder how many years has your magazine been established?"

Zheng Rong came back to his senses, smiled slightly, and said, "Eight years."

Yunfeng changed his voice and said very abruptly: "Have you ever thought about raising funds?"

Funds are the basic condition for any company to engage in production and operation activities. Due to seasonal and temporary needs, or due to expansion of production and operation scale, funds are needed, and the supply of funds is often in a state of "hungry and thirsty" due to various constraints. "State, that is, the contradiction between capital supply and demand has always become a problem for companies, and financing has become a good choice for many companies to solve capital problems.

However, with the size of Novel Monthly Magazine and its annual profits, it is difficult to get investment from investors.

Zheng Rong glanced at Yunfeng. The sentence "Have you ever thought about raising funds?" must have other meanings.

He was silent for a moment and asked tentatively: "Mr. Yun wants to buy a stake in our magazine?"

Yunfeng did not deny it: "I have such an idea."

Zheng Rong once had disagreements with his partners, which led to them parting ways, and he was no longer even a friend. Therefore, when the magazine was in the most difficult time, he never thought about raising funds.

Although he didn't know why Yunfeng wanted to invest in their magazine, this proposal made him reconsider financing.

The atmosphere in the office became quiet.

Zheng Rong looked at this young man who had only been in contact with him twice. His deep and bright eyes gave people a sense of intimacy that was really hard to dislike.

Although I don’t know what the purpose of this young man is, but...

Perhaps, once you have been attached to that thing and worried or suffered about it, you should let it go.

Zheng Rong thought again and again. After a while, he seemed to have made some decisions and said to Yunfeng, "Do you mind if I smoke?"

"I don't mind." Yunfeng smiled and shook his head.

Zheng Rong lit a cigarette and said slowly: "In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed. Remember, I just graduated from college at that time..."

Half an hour later.

Zheng Rong put out the cigarette in his hand. In fact, he didn't take a few puffs.

Yunfeng narrowed his eyes after hearing the rise and fall of Novel Monthly Magazine.

He could tell that Zheng Rong cared about Novel Monthly Magazine.

but……

Is Zheng Rong sending a friendly signal by saying this?

Yunfeng couldn't help but start to guess Zheng Rong's psychology.

Is it possible to become a shareholder?

To be honest, he didn't have much experience in business negotiations. He was basically straight forward. If it worked, it would work. If it didn't, forget it.

At this time, the atmosphere in the office became quiet again.

After a while, Zheng Rong spoke first and asked, "I wonder how much money Mr. Yun wants to invest and how many shares he wants to occupy?"

Yunfeng said bluntly: "Ten million, 49% of the shares."

He asked professionals to calculate how much Novel Monthly Magazine was worth. Ten million, 49% of the shares, was just a lot more.

After hearing this, Zheng Rong's heart trembled for some reason, then he smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome to join Mr. Yun."

Hesitation will accomplish nothing in this world, make up your mind, act decisively, and face the consequences.

When he decided to tell Yunfeng about the history of the Novel Monthly Magazine, he had already decided to let Yunfeng invest.

Yunfeng smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Zheng Rong's hand.

In fact, he was a little surprised that Zheng Rong made the decision so quickly.

However, he liked it.

Zheng Rong quickly drafted the contract, and after signing it, Yunfeng transferred 10 million.

The magazine was also divided into the novel studio and the comic studio.

Zheng Rong said: "I will recruit people for the comic studio as soon as possible."

Yunfeng said: "Then it's hard for Brother Zheng."

Zheng Rong seemed to remember something and said: "By the way, Xiaoyun, will you continue to use the cross-border king as your comic pen name?"

Yunfeng thought for a while, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, saying: "Change it, use 'Morning Clouds and Muyu'."

This name is naturally related to Tang Yu.

Zheng Rong was sure there was no problem. This was his pen name, so it was not his turn to express his opinion. He then said, "Let's go. I'll host you today. Welcome to join our magazine."

Yunfeng said embarrassedly, "I have another dinner party over there. Next time, I'll host you next time."

He had promised Chen Cheng a long time ago, so Zheng Rong could only turn it down.

"Okay, then you go first." Zheng Rong thought about it and decided to go together after all the people in the comic studio were recruited.

Yunfeng sent the comic manuscripts of the first to tenth chapters of "Fengyun I" to Zheng Rong and left.

Zheng Rong called everyone to the conference room and told them about the cooperation with Yunfeng.

"Are we going to make comics too?"

"Does Brother Zheng need to recruit people? I have a classmate who is looking for a job."

...

Zheng Rong answered the employees' questions one by one.

After the meeting, he returned to the office, leaned back in his office chair, and was stunned for a while.

After a while, he turned on the computer and downloaded the comic manuscripts sent by Yunfeng.

"Wind and Cloud", how can a golden unicorn stay in a pond? Once it encounters wind and cloud, it turns into a dragon. The dragon roars in the sky and changes the world. Wind and cloud gather and swim in shallow water."

This name gives people an indescribable feeling.

Zheng Rong read it with full curiosity.

The first chapter.

The second chapter.

The third chapter.

...

I finished it in one breath.

"The painting style, painting skills, and storyboards have all reached first-class or top standards."

During this period, Zheng Rong did his homework.

In his opinion, Yunfeng's painting skills are very mature and unique. It is more realistic than European and American comics and Japanese and Korean comics, but it is still beautiful. In addition, it is drawn with a computer and has extremely high clarity.

"It will definitely sell well."

Zheng Rong actually felt a surge of blood, and the entrepreneurial drive of the year was revived.

At the same time, Yunfeng had already arrived at Yipinfang.

He was in a good mood.

Investing in Zheng Rong's magazine company will save a lot of trouble in the future.

Entering the private room, I saw Tang Yu there.

Yunfeng sat next to her and asked, "Why are you alone here? Where are they?"

Tang Yu replied, "They all went to the bathroom."

Yunfeng asked again, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Tang Yu shook her head and said, "We just arrived too."

While they were talking, Xu Mengwei came back.

After a while, Chen Cheng and Xiao Tianpeng also came back.

Chen Cheng said with a smile, "Xiao Yun, your song "Together" is very suitable for the theme song of Xiao Xiao and Xiao Xu's EP."

"People who love each other should cherish each other and stay together forever" is exactly in line with the theme of Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei's EP.

At that time, he was still worried that he couldn't receive a suitable song, but he didn't expect Yunfeng to send it to him.

Yunfeng smiled and said, "It's good as long as it works."
