Chapter 53: Business Mindset

A week later.

Wang Jian had updated the second volume of "Arcane Throne" to 700,000 words.

And he had finally waited for the simple renovation of the office space to be completed.

This meant that Wang Jian no longer had to squeeze in his small apartment with Tom and Dorsey.

When the company officially started working at the new location.

The website had already started charging for readings of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and "Arcane Throne".

This brought the company nearly 300,000 US dollars in gross profit.

After deducting Rowling's 70,000 and Wang Jian's 80,000 in royalties, the company had 150,000 US dollars left on the books.

"Don't these have to be taxed?" Wang Jian looked at the accounts and asked Tom, who was temporarily acting as the company's accountant.

"Not for now," Tom shook his head and said, "This can be considered as the company's operating costs, and we can first recoup the funds we invested earlier."
