Chapter 53

A week later.

Wang Jian has updated the second volume of arcane throne to 700000 words.

And he finally waited until the office was finished.

This means that Wang Jian no longer has to squeeze into his small apartment with Tom and Dorsey.

When the company officially starts to work in a new place.

There are two novels on the website, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone and arcane, which have been read for a fee.

This also brought the company a gross profit of nearly $300000.

After deducting JK Rowling's 70000 yuan and Wang Jian's 80000 yuan, the company still has $150000 on its account.

"Are these not taxed?" Looking at the accounts, Wang Jian asked Tom, a temporary guest company accountant.

"Not for the time being." Tom shook his head and said, "these can be counted as the operating costs of the company. We can get back the money we put in earlier."

"After that?" "As far as I know, the combined tax rates of the federal and New York states can reach 35%," Wang asked

Speaking of this 35%, he felt a pain in his heart.

"Charity." Tom said, "give the money to some certified charities first."

"The donation certificate will be used as the tax credit certificate to reduce the tax amount."

"Well, we didn't spend a cent less?" Wang Jian made a calculation and asked.

"You can choose which organization to donate this part of the money to." Tom answered with a shrug.

"What are the organizations?" Wang Jian asked, "is it difficult to set up a charitable organization on your own?"

"It's not hard." Tom touched his chin and said, "there will be regular financial reviews."

"It's impossible to evade taxes by financial fraud."

Wang Jian looked at the computer screen and saw so many rubbish works.

I also think of the literature lovers who are about to become tramps.

All of a sudden, he had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then asked: "charity, can you choose the object of funding?"

"It can be, but it has to be very low income people." Tom replied, "as far as New York is concerned, there are also charitable associations that provide food only to white or black tramps."

"But if the income of the recipients is higher, the charitable Association will also be disqualified from tax exemption."

"Is it charity to pay less than the average hourly salary to authors who publish their works on our website and whose income is not high?" Wang Jian then asked.

Tom was stunned at first, and then exclaimed, "you have a wide range of ideas."

"Yes, it can be, that is, the tax credit certification of this charity association may not be available."

"It doesn't matter." Wang Jian replied, "you can try it first."

"Anyway, we don't have any extra money for them at the moment."

As Tom left, he muttered, "why hasn't anyone done this before?" When it's time.

In fact, Wang Jian already had the answer in his mind.

That is, no industry has so many poor people except singers and actors.

Singers and actors, who belong to different companies, can't save a few taxes by setting up charitable foundations for them.

And wangwen.com It's different from them.

As long as you have a computer and can type, you can be an author.

At present, there is no one like them in the market who can have such a large group of authors.

These large groups of authors can be used not only as best-selling authors trained by the website, but also as the help target of charity foundation.

While training, while tax-free

It's perfect.

Moreover, Wang Jian believed it.

In the future, there will always be people who stand out from these poor writers and make more profits for themselves.

Just when Wang Jian was very proud of his idea.

The voice of the newly recruited secretary and editor came from the walkie talkie.

"A gentleman named Mike Richardson is visiting. Would you let him in?"

Thinking about the information he had collected about the comic industry since his last meeting with the other party, Wang Jian said, "let him in."

A moment later, the middle-aged white man, about 195, walked into the office.

As he opened his arms, he said, "I see you again, Wang."

Wang Jian got up, hugged him and asked, "Mr. Mike, what's the matter with my small company?"

"It's still the last unauthorized change authorization issue." Richardson took the coffee from Wang Jian and replied, "this time, I'm here for volume one of arcane."

Wang Jian thought about it. At present, Tom is no longer his own copyright agent alone.

It seems a little inappropriate to let the other party deeply participate in their own private affairs.So he gave up the idea of Tom coming again.

"I don't know. What's the price of Mr. Mike's authorization for the first volume of arcane

"100000 dollars plus 10% of comic book royalty." Richardson replied.

Wang Jian thought about the current situation in the cartoon industry.

Back to Warner Group's DC Comics, with Kim Carey and Nicole Kidman starring in "Batman Forever", temporarily out of the crisis.

Marvel was maliciously sniped by Wall Street, and is now selling comic adaptation rights everywhere, hoping to produce a popular product to restore investors' confidence.

At present, however, it seems that little has been achieved.

The black horse comic, not only affected by the overall market, comic sales downturn.

What's more, even the original listing plan has been postponed indefinitely.

This dream of Michael Richardson as a billionaire is about to break.

Looking at the middle-aged white man pretending to be relaxed, Wang Jian laughed in his heart.

A businessman who does not take advantage of the fire is not a good businessman.

There is such a good opportunity, do not bite you hard, is simply sorry for yourself.

As a result, Wang Jian said, "I don't know if you have seen the current series of arcane throne."

"My assumption of this book is no longer as simple as a fantasy story, but similar to the setting of" parallel universe "and" multi person hero "in your cartoon industry."

"Most importantly, EA is also very interested in Volume 1 of arcane, and they hope to launch a game of the same name."

"In order to stimulate the sales of games, they may also launch comic books with story backgrounds. It's like Diablo. "

“EA？” Richardson frowned and asked, "can I make a phone call?"

"Sure, please." Wang Jian said, pretending to be relaxed.

But his heart was very nervous.

This Richardson doesn't know EA people, does he?

Wang Jian was ready to be torn down.

But after a moment, Richardson hung up.

Then he looked at Wang Jian and said, "100000 dollars, 35% of the comic book royalties."

"That's the bottom line. There can't be more."

Wang Jian: "what

PS: I just consulted my friends who are studying law in the United States.

The possibility of paying the minimum living allowance for writers through charitable fund.

The final conclusion is: if a writer gets a subscription fee of even one dollar from the website, it can't be regarded as charity.

But if you don't get the subscription fee, it's not a commercial act, it's a charity.

Because of the objection, I checked the information.

It's a little late. Sorry.
