Chapter 536 Chapter 560 Acquisition of "Film Biweekly"

Undoubtedly, Chen Baisheng was absolutely satisfied with the price Ye Jingcheng offered, even far exceeding his original expectation.The venue of the Yau Ma Tei Theater alone is already a condition that he can't even hope for.

"By the way, Ye Sheng. I don't know how you plan to join the association?" Chen Bosheng asked.

If it is said that before he came, he had the mentality of accepting his fate, thinking that he came to negotiate with Ye Jingcheng because he was forced to do so.Now that he heard the conditions offered by the other party, he seemed to be willing to hand over the chairmanship of the association's board of directors.

However, if Ye Jingcheng wanted to become the chairman of the association's board of directors, he always needed a formal charter to join the association, even if Ye Jingcheng was operating behind the scenes and did not reveal his identity to handle any affairs.

However, as one of the main founders of the Academy Awards, Chen Bosheng must have a reasonable explanation in order to better cooperate and control the situation.

Ye Jingcheng made an internal call, and after a while Li Zhi walked in and asked, "Ye Sheng, is there something wrong?"

"Show this gentleman a tour of our company first." Ye Jingcheng motioned to the person Chen Baisheng had brought.

In fact, the so-called visit is nothing more than trying to distract this person. Chen Bosheng also knows that some things are only suitable for two people to discuss. Although the person he brought is not strictly a member of the circle, he also does not want others to pry too much about himself. thing.

So he nodded to the other party as a gesture of goodwill, and the latter was not the kind of person who was not breathless, then he got up and followed Li Zhi out of the office.

"I heard that your magazine is quite unique, and it specializes in movies as special topics. How is the business going?" Ye Jingcheng seemed to ask casually.

"It's okay." Chen Bosheng subconsciously said perfunctory.

In fact, the current operating conditions of the magazine can only be said to be alive or dead.

Chen Bosheng's expression revealed a little puzzled, he wondered why Ye Jingcheng asked this question.Or why did Ye Jingcheng suddenly care about his magazine when the two of them clearly talked about the Academy Awards?
And the most important point is that "Film Biweekly" was doing well before.Since it was jointly blocked by several media a few months ago, the magazine's sales have plummeted.

As for the mastermind behind the scenes, the most likely person is Ye Jingcheng sitting in front of him.Because "Movie Biweekly" once reported Ye Jingcheng's lace news in order to increase its popularity.

And "Film Biweekly", as a magazine that has passed its development period, it is not difficult to block it, but it is definitely not small.

What's more, Ye Jingcheng is the only one on the "Movie Biweekly" list of offenders with such effective blocking methods.

Not to mention how depressed Chen Bosheng was, Ye Jingcheng was planning to beat him into a drowning dog first, and then kindly rescue him?Or……!
Being able to run a magazine and make it big, Chen Bosheng is obviously not a fool. It can only be said that it is because of his conservative personality that he cannot change for a while.

What he thought of was that Ye Jingcheng planned to acquire "Film Biweekly".Then replace his original identity to join the Academy Awards Association, and he himself becomes the spokesperson of the other party.

In this way, the identity of the director of the Ye Jingcheng Association is no longer a problem, and the confidentiality is higher than joining through other methods.As the "Film Biweekly" which exclusively reports on the Academy Awards, its public opinion will undoubtedly help Ye Jingcheng manipulate behind the scenes.

Chen Bosheng's first thought was to express resistance. If he could easily give up the magazine that he had established himself, he should have considered whether to transfer it when the magazine was in trouble.

It's just that he didn't do that, but chose to persevere.

But from another perspective, it would be a lie to say that his original intention for establishing the Academy Awards was not for fame and fortune.If Ye Jingcheng can really afford the price, is it necessary for him to miss the opportunity?

Chen Bosheng secretly thought in his heart that he must first settle the account of Qingming, so that he can make a choice in the following conversation.

The first is the printing cost of the magazine, which generally consists of four main parts, namely the production fee, start-up fee, paper fee, and binding fee.

The printing technology of this era needs to make a template-like "production" first, instead of being able to print directly like later generations. The production fee is about 80-120 yuan per page.

It looks like a small amount, but in fact a magazine costs at least 28p, and the production fee for one issue of the magazine is around [-].

Start-up fee, generally running a printing machine, the start-up cost is between 1600~2400.This depends on the rental price of different printing houses. Generally speaking, if you print more, the cost spread will naturally be less.

Besides the cost of paper, it seems that "Film Biweekly" is currently published. Except for the color printing on the cover, the inner pages are all black and white illustrations and text dialogues. The cost of each magazine is about 3.7.

Finally, there are magazine binding and other miscellaneous expenses, such as folding, saddle stitching, perfect binding, lamination, bronzing, die-cutting, die-cutting, and various processes. Anyway, the more fancy the more expensive.

Before "Film Biweekly" was blocked, one issue could sell about [-] copies of the magazine.For a magazine established just two years ago, this number is already very optimistic.

The cost of the magazine can also be controlled at 13.5 yuan per copy, and then sold to retailers such as newsstands and bookstores at [-] yuan per copy. The profit of each issue is [-] yuan. The profit of two issues a month is very objective.

However, after the "Film Biweekly" was banned, the sales of each issue directly fell below four digits. Two issues a month are not as much as the previous issue, and the total sales are only [-] or [-] copies.

To make matters worse, the number of magazines printed is small, and the printing house uses it to increase printing costs.

The cost of each copy increased to 7~8 yuan, so that the monthly profit of the magazine was only a few thousand yuan. Sometimes the salaries of several employees were deducted, and he had to pay out of his own pocket to subsidize it.

If Ye Jingcheng proposes to acquire "Film Biweekly" next, then he needs to find a balance between these two situations, at least let Ye Jingcheng know that the magazine has this potential, and it is only due to "certain" reasons that it is not doing well. Condition.

Seeing the thoughtful Chen Bosheng, Ye Jingcheng acted as if he had seen through him, and said simply, "You can make a price."

Chen Bosheng was obviously taken aback, he knew that Ye Jingcheng would not be willing to listen to his nonsense to calculate the cost, because the amount he calculated, for Ye Jingcheng, a real tycoon, would probably cost more than this amount for a meal.

Chen Bosheng fell silent, he really didn't know how to speak.On the one hand, he was reluctant to give up the magazine, and on the other hand, he was also entangled in his heart. Did Ye Jingcheng want to buy the magazine regardless of the cost, or did the other party already have a plan?
"100 million?" Ye Jingcheng asked tentatively with a strong smile.
