Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 83

"Joe, we need our own Official Accounts and microblog. It doesn’t need money. Find a way to get it done as soon as possible.”

 

Emily, holding white paper, distributed several hundred thousand dollars at the conference.

 

“Also, try to purchase a batch of computers and drawing boards. You have to buy twenty sets first. I'll give you 50,000."

 

"Twenty high-quality computers and drawing boards?"

 

The manuscript format of the comics was very large, and correspondingly, the memory requirements of the computer were also very high.

 

In addition, high-quality drawings also required high-quality drawing boards

 

On average, each set was 2,500 dollars, with a high-configuration computer and a drawing board.

 

"You are good at computer. Even if it is an old computer, you also can turn it into a good thing.”

 

Emily patted Joe on the shoulder and said with a smile, “] believe you. You can definitely get me a bunch of treasures in the second-hand market.”

 

Joe almost cried. High-quality drawing boards couldn't be second-hand. New ones cost more than a thousand.

 

In other words, she could only cut the budget for computers.

 

But only 1,000 dollars for highly one configured computer?

 

She felt much depressed.

 

Emily decided not to talk to him about it. She looked at Terry.

 

"This office, which has been renovated, may not be suitable for us in many places and will have to be renovated.” Terry 

nodded and waited for her to continue.

 

Emily said, “Well, the renovation fee... ls 50,000 enough?”

 

Terry was wondering how much money he had.

 

Finally, he nodded, “Enough.”

 

"Emily, renovate more than three-hundred-square office with only 50,000 dollars. Are you kidding me?" Sally took up the 

cudgels for Terry immediately.

 

"This was originally an office, and it was renovated. There are many things that can be used directly”

 

She really had limited fund, otherwise, how to do the next thing?

 

“Also, we need matching desks and chairs. About more than 20 sets including our office.”

 

"Then, living appliances such as air conditioners and drinking fountains."

 

Emily counted her fingers, and looked at Terry quietly, "Well, twenty-five thousand..."

 

“Okay.” Terry nodded without thinking.

 

Emily breathed a sigh of relief. If Terry said yes, it would be okay.

 

She looked at Sally, "Sally, you go to the previous forum to find some painters and ask them to paint with a base price.”

 

“I'll give you 200,000. You have to guarantee that within two months, 20 comics will be online.”

 

“Of course, in these twenty teams, there must be some people working with us, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be out of 

control.’

 

Sally almost fainted. 200,000 dollars for 20 comics, an average of only 10,000 for each comic!

 

Painters were already hard enough, and now, they even couldn't get as much salary as the labors.

 

Although she was the funder, Emily was so stingy that she was angry for the painters.

 

"I didn't say they need to finish the comics. You just need to make sure that they can update at least five chapters when they 

go online, and they can still have five chapters in stock.”

 

"The current market does not have a special professional market price. You can figure it out by yourself. As long as their 

comics serialize for a month, I can think of a way to get some more capital or get some sponsorship.”

 

"What if the funds can't be accessed by the time?"

 

When the painters started, they would naturally continue.

 

If the funds were not available, they would not even be able to pay the painters salary. Once they were complained by 

painters, their studio would have a bad reputation at the beginning. Could it continue to operate?

 

“I'll work it out.”

 

Anyway, it was a matter of money. She would be conscious of saving money from now on.

 

Of course, it was not enough by saving. She had to find a way to make more money.

 

"Well, I'll try it, but at such a low price, I don't know if anyone is willing to do it.”

 

"Sally, if you have nothing else to do right now. You can draw comics. I will give you five hundred for each chapter. You have to serialize two chapters every week, can you do it?”

 

Emily stared at her. Her words made Sally stunned for a moment.

 

After a moment, Sally began to think about this proposal

 

Two chapters a week, 500 dollars for each chapter. Then she could get 1,000 each week, and at least four thousand a month.

 

If she was more diligent and serialized ten chapters a month, then she could get five thousand a month.

 

She only spent a few dozen dollars for meals every day. Five thousand a month, it seemed not bad!

 

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that although 500 for each chapter was not high, it could sustain life!

 

"I think there will be many people willing to paint!”

 

When Sally thought about it, she began to have confidence!

 

Domestic painters were indeed very hard, but everyone loved to paint.

 

If they could live on, as long as there was hope, many people would still be willing to draw with a low salary.

 

After all, it was a career that they liked.

 

"Tell them that after their comics were up, the corresponding bonus will be given according to the ranking.”

 

This was the hope!

 

"We will also promote operations for them, and cooperate with many parties. As a result, their works can be seen by more 

and more people. Excellent works can also be adapted for animation, film and television...”

 

Emily's words made Sally more excited and felt that she was about to reach the top of her life. She was so excited!

 

Emily was calculating her remaining funds.

 

She got one million from Young Master Hunter by one idea. Now, there were still more than six hundred thousand left.

 

It cost 75,000 to rent the office, 50,000 to renovate, 25,000 to buy office furniture, 50,000 to purchase computer drawing board equipment, and 200,000 to pay painters.

 

Above, 400,000 had been spent!

 

With 200,000 left, she had to pay the next month's rent, water and electricity fee, employee salaries, and the money for the 

painters to continue painting...

 

She was already saving money, but the money was really...

 

Even if adding the 100,000 that Terry had deposited over the past few years, there was only 300,000 left.

 

Comics was an industry that had been particularly slow to make a profit, and the first few months were costly.

 

It was really not easy to raise a team of at least twenty people with 300,000...

 

After they cleaned up the office, except for Terry, who was born with a strong physique, everyone else was so tired that they could hardly step out.

 

At seven oclock in the evening, four people were sitting at a food stall in the alley behind the building.

 

“Unless we can sign a contract with the platform. We can have a few comics sign with the platform. Otherwise, I am afraid that there will not be so much funds next."

 

Sally and Joe spent all their salaries each month, and the money they earned from working in summer vacations was run out by themselves.

 

However, signing with the platform was not easy. There was an editor to review the comics.

 

“As long as you can guarantee that there are five comics in the twenty books can make a sign with the platform, the funds can be delayed for a while.”
