Entertainment: My predecessor is a diva and my current boss is a boss

"Mr. Li, the requirement of [-]% net profit is not low anymore. You can't be too greedy."

The old man Jonathan had a straight face, and there was a hint of threat in his tone.

Scaring me?
Li Changan smiled lightly.

"Mr. Jonathan, [Harry Potter] was written by me, and all the copyrights are in my hands. Now you are anxious to get the patent license, not me begging you!"

The old white man didn't expect him to be so shameless, and glared at Li Chang'an angrily.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Jonathan, let's all calm down. Peace of mind makes money. Negotiations, of course, need to be negotiated, right?"

Seeing that the two sides had reached an impasse from the very beginning, that Usidoraski immediately jumped out to act as a peacemaker.

The other two also echoed:

"Yes, everyone's purpose is to make money, not to quarrel. Didn't Mr. Li say that he has a suggestion? You might as well speak up and listen. Let's sit down and discuss it."

The old white man grimaced and let out a "hum".

The smile on Li Changan's face remained unchanged, but he was scolding his mother in his heart.

mmp, these guys have definitely negotiated, one will be red-faced, and the rest will be white-faced.

This routine is very familiar to me.

When Su Han was negotiating with others, he would often be caught acting in a show.

Usually the one who offends people with a red face is Li Changan.

"I want to maintain a glorious and positive image!" Su Han always said so.

Li Changan is very proficient in this business after dressing up a lot.

Unlike this Obeli Jonathan, who has exaggerated eyes and contrived acting skills, he can tell at a glance that fakes can't be faked anymore!
Amateur actor, bad review!
This is the case in business negotiations. One second, the quarrel is so red that the neck is thick, and the next second, it is possible to hook shoulders and call each other brothers.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, don't take any emotions on the negotiating table seriously.

Because what you see may be exactly what your opponent wants you to see.

"Four, you are all famous publishers in Europe, the value of [Harry Potter], I don't think I need to repeat it!"

The Big Four looked at each other and nodded together.

Even Jonathan had to admit the influence of [Harry Potter].

Otherwise, why did they travel thousands of miles to Calais Faurecia? It doesn't make sense at all!

Just admit it.

"...Since everyone has no objection to the quality of the [Harry Potter] book, you might as well sign a gambling agreement."

"Gambling agreement?" The Big Four were stunned at the same time, they didn't expect Li Changan to make such a proposal.

"How to bet against each other?" The old man Jonathan put away the disguised anger on his face and became serious.

"It's very simple. On behalf of the company, I make a promise. If the limited edition of [Harry Potter] does not reach 5000 million copies, Summit Entertainment will only take 2% of the net profit."

"Only 2%?" The Big Four were somewhat skeptical that Li Changan took the initiative to reduce the profit by [-]%.

You must know that this [-]% concession represents tens of millions of dollars.

"Why, you four don't think that [Harry Potter] doesn't even sell 5000 million copies in Europe?"

The Big Four shook their heads together.

As elites who have been immersed in the publishing industry for half their lives, they can certainly see the huge profits behind [Harry Potter].

Relying only on Summit Entertainment's own sales channels, this novel was able to sell 2500 million copies in the Great Beautiful Country without any big publicity and relying on its own reputation.

The Big Four met before they came.

Everyone agreed that relying on the strength of several companies in Europe, the minimum sales volume of [Harry Potter] was between 1 million and 3000 million.

If calculated according to the price of 50 Euros per copy, the gross profit can be sold at most 80 billion to 85 billion.

Excluding the cost of printing and sales, the net profit can almost maintain more than 60 billion.

After giving 10% to Summit Entertainment, each of the Big Four can get another [-] billion.

It's just that there are risks in such a large benefit.

If the estimate is wrong, the sales of [Harry Potter] will not meet expectations, and the money that the Big Four can get will be greatly reduced.

If the net profit income is less than 1 million yuan, using them to negotiate in person has become a joke in the industry.

Now, according to what Li Changan said, the VAM agreement actually took their risks to Summit Entertainment.

The four looked at each other in blank dismay: Is there such a good thing?
"Mr. Li, since it's a VAM agreement, there should be other conditions behind it, right?"

Botarini Chet from Italia was the first to react.

"Yes, otherwise, why would it be called a VAM agreement!"

The Big Four nodded at the same time: "Please speak!"

Li Changan had already prepared the draft, and immediately said with confidence:
"I hope that in the VAM agreement, if the sales of [Harry Potter] increase by 5000 million copies, you have to pay Summit Entertainment half of the net profit. How about it? Is this condition fair?"

It is indeed fair.

Even the red-faced old man Jonathan couldn't help wondering if Li Changan was an undercover agent he sent to Summit Entertainment.

This is simply too good for us.

The money is still earned, and the risk is shared between Summit Entertainment and us.

The most important thing is that according to the contract, as long as the sales volume does not exceed 2 million copies, the money that Summit Entertainment can get is still only [-]%.

This is the bottom line of the Big Four.

They originally planned to give Summit Entertainment [-]% of the net profit.

Now it seems that it is definitely saving money.

The bearded tractor driver looked more and more pleasing to Li Changan now, wishing he could hug him and chew on him.

You are simply giving us money to spend.

Such a generous condition, it is a fool not to agree.

The four giants agreed with each other, and after looking at each other, they nodded vigorously.

Jonathan stopped blushing.

No need, people have already lowered the standard on their own initiative, and if they do that again, it may have a counterproductive effect.

A successful businessman can fight against anything, but he will never fight against money.

"Mr. Li, since you are so sincere, it is really unreasonable for us to raise objections. The contract will be signed as you said."

Li Changan stood up with a smile, and shook hands with the four giants one by one:
"Happy cooperation!"

All four of them breathed a sigh of relief. This might be the easiest business negotiation in their life.

Brat, how could he be the opponent of us old guys.

Many methods prepared in advance were useless, so he voluntarily surrendered.

If the partners are all such people, how much money will they make!
The big four looked at Li Chang'an now, as if they were looking at a fat sheep who handed the knife to the butcher by himself.

Smile so hard that you can't see your teeth.

Li Changan was also laughing.

He smiled like a young fox who has stolen four old hens.

Old guys, do you think you are taking advantage?

There will be times when your heart hurts later.

Only one person was super upset: "I object to this contract!"
