The Cold War: Jumping back and forth between the two camps

"So what does Mr. Du mean?"

Liu Liyuan's mind moved and he roughly understood what Dunn meant.

He was also very distressed to see this huge amount of income flowing into the pockets of the CIA.

"I want to burden Mr. Liu!"

Dunn said with a slight smile.

"I want to start another novel magazine that specializes in serializing novels. After The Deer and the Cauldron is serialized in Xiangjiang Metropolis Daily, I have a few more ideas in mind. I will ask Mr. Liu to hire some more writers to make them a reality and serialize them in the magazine!

This magazine is published in the name of the partnership between me and Mr. Liu, and it is not under the name of the organization behind me!

I wonder if Mr. Liu is interested?"

“How should the shares be divided?”

Liu Liyuan's face twitched slightly. Of course he was willing.

Even if the quality of the novel outline given by Dunn in the future is not as good as The Deer and the Cauldron, or even if it is only half as good as The Deer and the Cauldron, I believe the novel magazine will definitely be a big hit.

Compared with the current sales of Hong Kong Metropolitan Daily, the magazine may be more expensive and the sales may decline, but the profit will definitely not be small.

"I established this magazine with my own capital. Mr. Liu invested in it with his technology. I gave Mr. Liu 45% of the shares. As long as Mr. Liu remains in this position, the shares will remain with him. If Mr. Liu Yi quits one day and recommends a professional to me, the shares will be transferred to that person's name!"

What Dunn meant by this sentence was that the profits of the novel magazine were organized by Liu Liyuan behind the scenes.

You must know that the organization behind Liu Liyuan is most in need of foreign exchange. The foreign exchange earned from novels and magazines may not be high, but it is also a considerable income for the current mainland.

"I wonder if Mr. Liu is satisfied with my share distribution plan?"

At this time, Dunn's voice came again.

"Don't worry, Mr. Du. I will definitely run this magazine well! Thank you for your support!"

The free principle was that as he spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply to Dunn, and then he quickly stood up and supported Liu Liyuan, allowing him to sit down again.

"That's not necessary! I'm going to be a hands-off boss. The success of the magazine will depend entirely on Mr. Liu!"

As Dunn spoke, he opened the drawer of his desk, took out a check and pushed it in front of Liu Liyuan, then took out the outlines of five novels.

"This is 3 US dollars. I believe it should be enough to start a magazine! Mr. Liu, please hire someone to write the outlines of these five novels!"

After Liu Liyuan received the check for 3 yuan, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face. He didn't feel that the amount on the check was not enough, but that it was a bit too much.

Starting a magazine is quite different from starting a newspaper.

If you want to start a magazine, you don't need to find so many reporters, especially for a novel magazine like theirs, you only need to recruit a few writers, and Dunn has already thoughtfully prepared the outline of the novel.

Basically, we just need to find three or four writers, recruit a few editors and reviewers, and add Liu Liyuan as the editor-in-chief.

You don't need 10 people, you just need to rent an office.

5 US dollars is definitely a huge sum of money, but I'm afraid that 5000 will be enough for actual use.

Of course, this does not include the recruiter's initial salary.

But as for salary, even Liu Liyuan can solve it himself.

"Mr. Du, 1 US dollars is enough. 3 is indeed a bit too much!"

I haven't read the outline given by Dunn, but based on the quality of The Deer and the Cauldron, I feel that it should be good. As long as we can safely get through the early stage, I believe the sales of the magazine will increase steadily, and there will be no need for Dunn's continuous capital injection.

"Let's prepare more funds for a rainy day! As long as the sales of the magazine go up, we will get the money back sooner or later!"

Dunn waved his hand indifferently.

He really doesn't think much of this money now. After the next batch of goods is shipped to the mainland for exchange, and then returned to the United States, the profits will probably come back, plus the bribe money given by the isolated island, although all the bribe money will be used to build the factory on the isolated island.

But after the war starts, the income will only get higher and higher, not decrease. Dunn really has no concept of money now, so he has never seen so much money before he came here.

Liu Liyuan nodded silently, put away the check, and began to look through the outlines of five novels.

Dunn also explained.

“Don’t serialize all five novels at once. Add some novels written by other writers. It doesn’t matter if the quality is a little lower. Just make up the numbers!

The three books, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Return of the Condor Heroes and The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, are a series of novels. The series starts with The Legend of the Condor Heroes, while The Return of the Condor Heroes and The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber are postponed!"

Liu Liyuan flipped through the books while listening to Dunn's explanation, and his eyes gradually brightened. He felt that the outlines of these five novels were of comparable quality to The Deer and the Cauldron.

Of course, this only refers to the quality of the outline. As for the quality of the finished product, it depends on the writer.

In addition to the Condor Heroes trilogy, the five novels include "My Fair Princess" and "Gangster Godfather Xie Wendong".

To be honest, the quality of the five novel outlines are all relatively good, except for one that Xie Wendong and Liu Liyuan don't like.

He didn't think much of the subject matter of the novel, but he also admitted that if the novel could mature, it would definitely have the potential to become a big hit.

The 5 novels range from martial arts to modern urban and romance.

The coverage can be said to be very extensive.

At the same time, Liu Liyuan was somewhat surprised at Dunn's familiarity with Chinese history.

My Fair Princess and The Deer and the Cauldron are both history of the Qing Dynasty, which is fine.

After all, the Qing Dynasty is not far from now, so it is relatively simple to understand the history in this area.

But the Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy covers the Song and Yuan dynasties.

It can be seen that Dunn knew more than just the history of the Qing Dynasty.

"They are all very good! Mr. Deng, to be honest, I don't even want to hire a writer anymore. I want to write these five novels myself!"

Liu Liyuan flattered him silently, but it wasn't that exaggerated. At least he didn't want to write about Xie Wendong and Huanzhu.

Xie Wendong continued to rent the book because he didn't like the subject matter and because he didn't really like reading romance novels.

This is just to make Dunn happy.

"This is not okay!"

Dunn simply shook his head and refused with a smile.

"In that case, Mr. Liu probably won't have time to do anything else and can only bury himself in writing novels every day!

There is still a lot for Mr. Liu to do, so let’s hire a few writers, it won’t be a big deal! ”

"Okay, okay, I'll do it right away!"

At this moment, Liu Liyuan was grinning from ear to ear, as he could already see a bright future.
