Chapter 51 Self-Publishing

After Chen Feng thought for a while, he asked Chen Dayong, "Dad, how much cash do you have at home?"

Chen Dayong was stunned for a moment, and he didn't hide it from his son, but asked curiously: "There are about 35.6 million, why are you asking this?"

Chen Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard that there was still so much cash that could be used at home, thinking that most of the family's money had been invested in the company by his father one after another, and during the typhoon last year, the family also spent a lot of money in vain, but he didn't want to return to the capital so quickly, and there were so many deposits, so much money would be a big waste if it was just put in the bank to eat interest, so it was better to take it out for some low-risk investment. But now he doesn't have the heart to help his father with this.

"Son, you won't dream any messy dreams again, will you?" Zhao Xiaolan looked at her son with some concern.

Chen Dayong also came back to his senses, and said with mixed joy: "Son, our family has enough money to spend, why do you still have these dreams." ”

Seeing that his parents were worried, Chen Feng hurriedly said, "I didn't dream. I'm going to publish this novel at my own expense, and I'd like to ask you for money. ”

"Self-financed?" Chen Dayong and his wife looked at their son in surprise.

Chen Feng nodded helplessly: "Yes." If there is no publisher willing to publish it, it can only be published at its own expense. ”

Seeing that his son cared so much about this novel, and it was not good to dampen his son's enthusiasm*, Chen Dayong asked, "How much does it cost?"

After thinking for a while, Chen Feng replied, "I think five or six hundred thousand should be enough." ”

"What!?Five or six hundred thousand?" Chen Dayong almost jumped three feet high, "Son, our family's money is not blown by the wind, even if you have money, you can't waste it so badly! This is five or six hundred thousand, if it is five or six hundred thousand, if it is five or sixty thousand, Dad will help you out." ”

Chen Feng thought to himself: "Our family's money was originally blown by the wind, and when you went to Shanghai to speculate in stocks, you easily made a net profit of more than 3 million." ”

Zhao Xiaolan also persuaded: "Son, ** is right. These five or six hundred thousand are too expensive, can it be less, if it is more than 100,000, my mother will help you out. ”

Self-funded publication, less money means less volume, its influence will be greatly reduced, this is not what Chen Feng wants to see, Chen Feng's plan is to print at least 50,000 or 60,000 copies in advance, the more the merrier, five or six hundred thousand, in his opinion, the demand is already very low. Moreover, he has a strong confidence in the book "Harry Potter", even if the book has been rejected by the publishing house, but in his opinion, the reader's eyes are bright, from the red leaves, cousin, Judging from the reactions of Cai Qiaozhi's first three readers, there is no doubt that this book is also very marketable among young people in China, but for the sake of safety, he has already planned to publish the English version of the original book, so as to make foreigners' money from the beginning, and the place to publish the English novel is of course Hong Kong, a free city, which is still considered a British territory, which can be regarded as publishing in the United Kingdom. As long as the number of copies printed in the first book is large, the impact will naturally be greater, and the "piracy" of the British female writer can be eliminated, otherwise, if she is published in accordance with history and two years later, it will be a bit difficult to end up crashing. Besides, Chen Feng doesn't want to waste the time and energy of this female writer, she published it this year, and after causing a sensation, as long as she gets the news, she should take the initiative to stop writing and won't spend too much thought on this Harry Potter. So, hello, hello, everyone. Moreover, in Chen Feng's opinion, although he has now borrowed Harry Potter from this female writer, according to the talent of this female writer, she will still make a lot of money as famous sooner or later, but whether it can be compared with Harry Potter is not something he can predict.

Chen Feng has now made up his mind, but when he saw his parents like misers, he said angrily: "Dad, Mom, anyway, the two more than one million people in the family are also left, it is better to take out a small part of it for me to invest." I am very confident that this book will definitely sell well after it is published, and the five or six hundred thousand yuan invested will definitely be able to earn back with interest. It's a big deal, I'll borrow from you first, two cents of interest, and then I'll pay you back with interest. ”

Chen Dayong glared and said, "You stinky boy, what are you talking about? Mom and Dad, these money will not be left to you in the future, what can you borrow or not, and it will still be interested? Be careful that I will smoke you." ”

Zhao Xiaolan felt uncomfortable when she saw her son say such a raw thing, and hurriedly asked, "Son, do you really have confidence in the book you wrote?"

Chen Feng nodded affirmatively, and said in a soothing tone: "I wrote about a foreign little boy, he can do magic, * Ge Jian, anyway, there are a lot of interesting things in it, Hongye, cousin, and Qiaozhi have all seen it, and they all say it's very good." I'm going to write it again in English and then go to Hong Kong and find a random publisher to publish it. ”

"What...... What the...... Say it again, Mom heard me right, you said you want to write a novel in English, and you want to go to Hong Kong to publish it?"

Zhao Xiaolan looked at him dumbfounded. Chen Dayong also stammered. Their son is good at English, they know it, but they really didn't expect that their son could write novels in English.

"Dad, Mom, I have been teaching myself English for the past few years, the level is not bad, and the text of this book is generally relatively simple, the Chinese version has been written, I just need to translate it sentence by paragraph." ”

As soon as he explained this, the couple reluctantly accepted it, otherwise, it would be too shocking for their son to write a novel in English at such a young age, but even though it was just a translation and not an original, it also surprised the couple. His son is really a genius!

"Good son, you are really a good baby, the proudest thing in my mother's life is to give birth to you. Zhao Xiaolan hugged Chen Feng excitedly and kissed Chen Feng on the face. While Chen Feng was moved, he was embarrassed for a while, his impression was that his mother had rarely been so excited before, and the last time she was kidnapped and successfully returned home, she was so out of shape, it seems that she was touched a lot today because of her appearance.

Zhao Xiaolan let go of her son and said resolutely: "His father, I think since my son is willing to be so motivated, we have to support him, anyway, our family can't afford these five or six hundred thousand." We're out of the money. As for going to Hong Kong to publish, you can also help find someone who understands this, and then you can take your son to Hong Kong in person, and it will be a good trip. ”

Seeing his wife's support, his son's attitude was so resolute, two against one, Chen Dayong was not easy to object, but he was ready to lose money in his heart. I thought that my son had made a lot of money for the family before anyway, so this money should be used as a dividend for him.

"That'...... All right. In Hong Kong, we don't know each other very well, so I'll ask someone to ask. ”

Chen Feng reminded him: "Dad, you'd better ask Uncle Zhang about this, he is a lawyer, he should know." ”

The Uncle Zhang that Chen Feng is talking about is Zhang Hanjie, a well-known lawyer in Hengyang County, who has a wide range of contacts, from government officials to local ruffians and hooligans. At the beginning, things such as the registration and approval of Xingwang Company were quickly handled by him with a relationship trustee. Later, Chen Dayong simply hired him as the company's legal counsel. In the past two years, Chen Dayong's reputation has become more and more famous, especially because of the "ambiguous relationship" with the governor After the "ambiguous relationship" became known, there were many people who came to the house, this Zhang Hanjie is one of the more active ones, in the past, he was the company's legal counsel, basically did not show up, but now he always appears in Xingwang Company for a few days a month, and often cheekily goes to Chen Dayong's house to eat, which is a frequent visitor to their house.

Chen Dayong nodded in agreement: "Well, okay, just ask him." He was a man who knew many people. ”

"I plan to leave for Hong Kong in half a month at the latest. Dad, you'd better let Uncle Zhang find a good person before then, so as not to delay my plan. I'm going upstairs to translate this novel now. ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Feng hurriedly ran upstairs.

After his son ran upstairs, Chen Dayong came back to his senses and said angrily: "Look at this rabbit cub! Look at it, you are used to him, what kind of attitude do you have? Do you talk to Lao Tzu like this? Like a superior to a subordinate." ”

Zhao Xiaolan glanced at him, and said with a proud face: "Don't you be dissatisfied? There is such a well-behaved and sensible person."

Eager to learn and motivated son, you can steal the fun. ”
