Chapter 1937: A day

"Co-branding?"

"Derivatives?"

Chu Qingluan's delicate body trembled. She naturally did not doubt Gao Yang's capabilities, but she still felt puzzled.

After all, this "co-branding" was something she had never heard of!

Gao Yang explained further, "In short, it means bringing the characters in the book to life and turning them into tools for us to make money!"

"For example, hiring top-tier painters to design exclusive images for Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit, then using these images as the core to develop thousands of derivative products!"

"Like opening a candy shop and selling 'Rainbow Cat Chivalry Candies' and 'Blue Rabbit Exquisite Cakes.' You only need to add a gimmick and change the style; the item remains the same, but you can drastically increase the price!"

"The same goes for *Divine Weapon Little Hero*! Have our own skilled craftsmen meticulously create model toys of the 'Divine Weapon Heavenly Crystal' as described in the book, then apply colorful paint."

"Hiss!"

Chu Qingluan gasped, as if a door to a new world had been pushed open.

She had never imagined that virtual images from a storybook could be played with in such a way.

The path of capital is truly terrifying!

Gao Yang continued, "Not only that, but we can also have embroidery workshops stitch the exclusive images of Rainbow Cat, Blue Rabbit, and the Divine Weapon Little Heroes onto children's clothes and pouches using gold and silver thread."

"Anything children use daily can be branded with these images!"

"Once the story sweeps the world, especially since this is children's enlightenment literature, every element within it can be turned into real gold and silver. These are 'derivatives,' and their profit far exceeds the books themselves by ten, a hundred, or even a thousand times!"

"This is an uncultivated fertile land, a true mountain of gold and sea of silver!"

Chu Qingluan's red lips parted slightly in shock; she was thoroughly stunned by this magnificent commercial blueprint that transcended the imagination of the era.

She seemed to see countless brilliant golden threads extending from the story Gao Yang wrote, weaving into a vast web of wealth covering food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

Gao Yang's ability to make money is simply... inconceivable!

Chu Qingluan was convinced and sighed, "These past few days, I was worried, but now I don't want to be. With my husband's abilities, even if he is not an official, His Majesty will absolutely never let my husband leave Da Qian."

"His Majesty can choose not to use him, or even break ties, but if he lets my husband go to the Six Kingdoms, it would be a disaster for Da Qian."

Gao Yang's gaze was profound; he shook his head and said, "The Dingguo Duke Prefecture is full of loyalty, and my grandfather has a lifetime of clean reputation. Unless absolutely necessary... there is no need to go that far."

This topic was too heavy.

Gao Yang did not want to talk about it either, so he held Chu Qingluan's hand and smiled: "So, let that kid Changwen busy himself. Once he paves the way and builds up enough momentum, we will go... to pick the fruit."

"It's getting late, let's rest."

Sleepiness surged over Gao Yang like a tide. He wiped his feet and led Chu Qingluan to the bedside.

"Husband, then..." Chu Qingluan's red lips parted slightly, blinking her lively eyes. Under the flickering candlelight, her stunning face was flushed with a breathtaking charm, extremely alluring.

In an instant.

Gao Yang's tiger body jolted.

He immediately sobered up by more than half, pulled his hand away like lightning, rolled onto the bed, wrapped himself up tightly, and said in one smooth motion, "Qingluan, you know, my condition isn't good at night. Tomorrow morning... definitely!"

Chu Qingluan: "..."

At the same time.

Gao Changwen stood alone by the window of his room, hands behind his back, looking at the full moon in the sky.

"The night is long, and I have no heart to sleep."

Gao Changwen stared at the full moon, but his mind was full of the chivalrous world of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit, and the brilliant transformations in *Divine Weapon Little Hero*.

Not only that, but there was also the heart-wrenching appearance of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, his father pretending to be calm while unable to look away, and Ling'er's admiring little eyes.

All of this swirled within his mind, as if it were about to ignite and burn.

"It will definitely be a hit! These two books will absolutely sweep through Da Qian, unstoppable!"

"Such a masterpiece, how can it be trapped in the Dingguo Duke Prefecture? This is a pearl covered in dust, this is a waste of heaven's gifts! These two books should be spread throughout the world, benefiting all living beings, letting all children, and even young boys and girls, bathe in the luster of my brother's wisdom!"

Gao Changwen made up his mind.

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, as if he could already see countless copper coins and gold and silver surging toward him like a tide.

"Right! That's the logic. I am doing this for the spiritual food of the children of the world. Tomorrow, even if I have to kneel, beg, or get beaten up, I must get my brother to agree!"

But soon, Gao Changwen fell into a struggle, "But today I patted my chest and told my brother, 'How could I, Gao Changwen, be a person who forgets righteousness for profit?' He misjudged me."

"This... this..."

However.

Almost in an instant, Gao Changwen stopped struggling.

He rubbed his hands, his eyes burning with immense light, his face overflowing with the excitement of grand ambitions, and he said in a tone that was extremely emotional and yet shameless.

"If there's money to be made and you don't make it, you're a bastard! I, Gao Changwen, am brilliantly clever; how could I be that stupid bastard?"

"Brother, you really judge people accurately!"

"..."
