    46 Black-bone chicken becomes phoenix

    Our magazine "SAR Beauty" and website are becoming more and more influential. A very influential cultural media company hopes to jointly launch this magazine with us.  They proposed that they have the ability to turn this magazine into a fashion magazine with an official issue number and public distribution.  I discussed it with Meiyun and several managers of the company. Some people wanted to cooperate with that company, while others insisted on doing it themselves.  It should not be very difficult to solve the problem of the issue number if it really has its own characteristics and influence.  Colleagues who insist on jointly running the journal believe that the joint publication with that cultural company will at least have strong financial support, and it will reach a new level in terms of design, content interviews, and printing and binding.  With a public issue, advertisements will follow, and economic benefits will naturally increase.

    We didn't reply to that company all at once, saying that we should study it carefully.  Unexpectedly, when I started this magazine with a single idea, it became famous.  I also called Jin Jing to hear her opinion.  Having known Jin Jing for so long, I know that she is a very assertive and decisive woman.  Jin Jing believes that it is better to hold the initiative in her own hands.  That company is strong, but we're not in a tough spot either.  Hearing Jin Jing's words, he didn't agree to co-organize the "SAR Beauty" magazine with that cultural company.

    When good things are coming, you can't stop them.  A very influential women's magazine in Shenzhen also contacted us, hoping to run "SAR Beauty" together.  I asked on the phone what kind of business method, and the other party said that any method is fine, and we can sit down and talk.  The other party called was a deputy editor-in-chief in charge of operations. Judging from the voice, she should be young.  I promised to talk to them.  The deputy editor-in-chief invited me to their editorial department to chat with the president and editor-in-chief.

    I took Meiyun to talk with me. In the past, Meiyun was only engaged in photography, and there were very few cases involving business negotiations.  Now, she is the boss of the company, and she mainly focuses on management, and she is slowly letting go of her past majors.  Bringing Meiyun to talk with her is to make her gradually familiar with the negotiation business.

    The deputy editor-in-chief of the magazine who called me was indeed very young, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and very fair and delicate.  In the reception room, she received Meiyun and me.  She introduced that her name is Zhong Manyu and she is in charge of magazine management.  Mei Yun and I both said, Mr. Zhong is so young.  Zhong Manyu smiled and said that in Shenzhen, almost all units are mostly young people.  I think, indeed.  Shenzhen is a young city, and it is also the world of young people.

    Zhong Manyu said that our magazine is doing well. Although it is an internal publication, it is very distinctive and readable.  She said that a colleague accidentally showed her a copy of "Beauty in the Special District". After reading it, she felt that it was a pity that this magazine could not be released to the public.  She also showed it to the president and editor-in-chief of their magazine, hoping that "SAR Beauty" would become a sub-issue of their magazine and be released to the public.  Both the president and the editor-in-chief agreed with her idea, so I asked her to contact me.  Meiyun and I listened to Zhong Manyu's thoughts and thought it was a good thing.  In this way, we can free our hands and feet to run the magazine better, and the advertising revenue will also increase greatly.

    Zhong Manyu mentioned two ways of cooperation. One is that the two of us will operate jointly, and the interview, editing, advertising and other businesses will also be arranged by the magazine.  The profit is divided into two.  The other is that we list their magazine numbers, we operate completely independently, and give them a certain management fee for the magazine every year.  Zhong Manyu suggested that we choose the second method, so that we will have complete independent operation and management rights.  But in order to avoid problems, the manuscripts of each issue of "Beauty of the Special Zone" must pass their final review before they can be published.  We understand that Zhong Manyu and the others are afraid that some bad manuscripts will appear in the magazine.  That's perfectly fine.  Meiyun and I also think that it is best to choose the second mode of operation.  Our advertising company can fully use the flexible operation method to completely invigorate the magazine.

    Zhong Manyu invited their president and editor-in-chief to work with us to determine the way of cooperation.  Both the president and the editor-in-chief are men. The president is about fifty years old, wearing a pair of wide-rimmed black-framed eyes, and looks like an old pedant.  The editor-in-chief is just over 30, and looks very capable.  Zhong Manyu introduced to them the situation of talking with us, and they all said that they should choose the business model of affiliated publications.  The real thing to talk about is how much management fee to pay them every year.

    The other party proposed to pay them a management fee of 300,000 yuan per year. I did a rough calculation in my heart and thought it was not high.  But I still bargained with them, and finally settled on 200,000 yuan.

    Neither Mei Yun nor I expected that the matter would be settled so easily.  The other party immediately drafted a cooperation agreement, and they proposed to pay 200,000 yuan in one lump sum.  I also agreed.

    In the evening, the leader of the magazine wanted to invite us to dinner, saying it was to celebrate.  I called and asked Jin Jing to come over. She is our shareholder and a good think tank. We want to share good things with her.  when we came to talk to the magazineI called her when we finished talking, and then called her to tell her the result. She was also very happy on the phone, and humorously said that our magazine has been a regular army since then.  My editor-in-chief is no longer Tubalu.

    The old man of the president likes to sing. When eating, he asked us to sing a song each.  When it is the turn to sing, the singer does not drink, and everyone else has to drink a glass of wine.  I saw that they were all in high spirits, so I said, after dinner, I invite everyone to sing at the till.  As a result, after eating, they all went to the cash drawer next to CITIC Plaza.

    I didn't drink much wine, but I ordered a lot of snacks.  Meiyun called Ami and Xixi to come too.  The president and the others saw that all of our staff were full of energy, and said that the cooperation between our two companies must be very pleasant.  He also said that I am a cheerful person and a person who does things.  When I introduced Ami as an actress, both the president and the editor-in-chief said that our magazine should promote her well.

    The president sang one song after another, and when he was tired, he sat down to drink again.  I quietly asked the editor-in-chief sitting next to me: "Does the president like singing?" The editor-in-chief said: "He likes drinking and singing. Although he is old, his heart is not old." We all laughed.  Through eating and chatting, I became friends with the editor-in-chief and Zhong Manyu.  We were about the same age and communicated easily.

    After all, the president is getting old, and he dare not openly say some things to him.

    I was afraid that Amei and Sisi drank too much like that night, so I quietly gave them a wink to stop drinking too much.  Two girls are ghosts and elves, they want to play games and drink with the president and the others.  It is to use dice to guess the points, and whoever loses will drink a large glass of beer.  As a result, the president was beaten by Ami and Xixi, and drank one cup after another.  Unexpectedly, the old man was very good at singing, so Zhong Manyu ordered a song "Wine and Coffee" by Teresa Teng.  After singing this song, the old man sat on the sofa and fell asleep.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
