"In addition to the matter of awarding the essay contest, our Reader's Digest has another thing to discuss with you, about the publication of the entire book of "Jing Chu Zhengxiong", Mr. Chen promised us that we would sign the copyright to us, so he should not break his promise. After talking about attending the award ceremony, Editor-in-Chief Lin finally said the most important thing about inviting Chen Zhixue to come over.
"With my current popularity, I believe that Editor-in-Chief Lin should also know that if the whole book of "Jing Chu Zheng Xiong" is published, the sales will definitely not be low, and I also know that your readers' digest channels in Baodao and Southeast Asia are very good, so I don't know what conditions you can give for me to sign?" Chen Zhixue threw the question back to them first.
"What does Mr. Chen think of the 100,000 yuan buyout of the publishing rights?" said the editor-in-chief Lin of his budget.
"Although I also plan to sign the copyright to you, but you seem to be very insincere, do you know, you should have earned a lot of advertising fees by relying on "Jing Chu Zheng Xiong", and the manuscript fee I got from you is a total of 9600 yuan, as the owner of a media company, I also know how profitable it is, according to my understanding of "Jing Chu Zheng Xiong" 's sales forecast, sales of 1 million copies are possible, I believe your price will not be less than 5 yuan, 1 million copies is 5 million yuan, of which the profit is only half of you, you also have a profit of more than 2 million, only give me 100,000, that is relative to sending beggars. Chen Zhixue shook his head, he would never agree to this kind of price, he really thought he was a fish.
According to the previous contract method, it is indeed to give a sum of money directly to the author, and the author happily agrees to sign, because no one knows whether the book he publishes will be a big hit, so the vast majority of the authors will agree to buy out the money directly.
But Chen Zhixue's "Jing Chu Zheng Xiong" is different, this novel relies on the popularity of Huang Xiaoyi's pen name today, and the sales are definitely not low, and the price given by the reader's digest is really a bit insulting.
"Then what are your conditions?" Editor-in-Chief Lin also knew that it was a bit excessive, and he couldn't treat Chen Zhixue the same way as other authors.
"In this way, I give you two conditions for you to choose:
1. I don't care how much "Jing Chu Zhengxiong" sells, I only need 15% of the sales dividends, I believe that the remaining profits of your Reader's Digest are still very large.
2, direct 1 million buyout, how much you make in the follow-up, it's all your business, presumably you made at least more than 1 million by advertising fees alone in the early stage, as far as I know, during the serialization of "Xun Qin", your readers' digest newspapers and periodicals directly increased by 300,000 copies per day because of the serialization of "Jing Chu Zhengxiong", and the sales gradually decreased after the serialization was completed.
It shouldn't be difficult to choose one of the two, after all, if I take the copyright back to Genesis Media Company to publish it, I will make much more money than you here. Chen
Zhixue can be regarded as no lion to open his mouth, he doesn't care about hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, he just doesn't want to be wronged, Reader's Digest has the grace of knowing him, and his novels help Reader's Digest get a lot of benefits, which is relative to repaying this kindness, Chen Zhixue doesn't owe them anything.
"Mr. Chen will sit down for a while, and we will have a high-level meeting to discuss, and we will give you a definite answer later. Editor-in-Chief Lin didn't mean to continue, and if he bargained again, maybe the copyright would fly away.
"Uh-huh. Chen Zhixue nodded.
After all, millions of transactions are at stake, and even as the editor-in-chief, Ms. Lin can't be the master alone, and she can't afford such a big risk.
Half an hour later.
"Mr. Chen, we chose to directly use 1 million to buy out the publishing copyright of "Jing Chu Zhengxiong", this is a buyout contract, you can take a look. Editor-in-chief Lin entered the door and handed over a contract to Chen Zhixue.
Through the high-level meeting, the senior management of Reader's Digest unanimously agreed that "Jing Chu Zheng Xiong" will definitely sell well after publication, so choosing a 1 million buyout is the choice to obtain the greatest benefit.
Chen Zhixue flipped through the contract, and there was no problem, so he signed his name directly.
"Mr. Chen, this is a cheque for 1 million yuan, you can withdraw money from HSBC outlets with the cheque. After taking the contract, Director Lin also happily handed the check to Chen Zhixue.
"Happy cooperation!" the two sides shook hands again.
Chen Zhixue, who was holding a check for one million, happened to have something to go to HSBC, and by the way, he could transfer the money from the check to his account, 1 million yuan, which is not too little, and it would not be good if it was dropped.
HSBC Head Office.
Since Shen Ru was transferred to Stanley Branch as the vice president, Chen Zhixue has rarely come here, there is nothing to do, Chen Zhixue will not come, after all, he even goes to his own company, let alone HSBC.
This time he came to HSBC, Chen Zhixue wanted to talk to Shen Bi about a business.
After transferring the money from the check to his account, Chen Zhixue went up to the sixth floor and came to Shen Bi's office.
Nowadays, he will not be stopped unless Shen Bi has a guest to meet, otherwise, he can come and go freely in Shen Bi's office, because Shen Bi has instructed his employees that if Chen Zhixue wants to come to him, there is no need to make an appointment.
"You kid, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what's the matter with this time. Although Shen Bi is British, he has been on Hong Kong Island for more than 20 years, and through study, he has already gained an in-depth understanding of Chinese culture, and his use of relevant vocabulary is no worse than that of Chinese people.
"That's right, Uncle Shen, I'm here this time to discuss a business with you. Chen Zhixue sat on the sofa, leisurely and contented, not treating himself as an outsider at all.
"Oh, what business do you want to talk about?" asked Shen Bi curiously.
"I don't know if Uncle Shen has ever heard of Silicon Valley in the United States?"
"Of course, it's a place where high-tech companies are very concentrated.
"That's right, for the high-tech industry on Hong Kong Island, I personally think it is still relatively backward, so I want to develop high-tech industries on Hong Kong Island, but now I am facing a problem, that is, Hong Kong Island lacks top talents in related high-tech technology, so I want my uncle to help me in the UK, The United States and other places recruit skilled scientists, I understand the strength of your HSBC bank, I believe that through your connections, this is not a problem, as for the remuneration, according to the price of headhunting in the market, I believe that Uncle Shen also hopes that the scientific and technological level of Hong Kong Island can be developed. "
That's right, the purpose of Chen Zhixue's visit this time is to ask HSBC to help find a technical master, there are more than 100 million deposits in the account, and the Chuangshi Media Company is helping him make money every day, and the Chuangshi Electric Appliance Factory has also begun to make profits, this money can't be lost in the account of HSBC.
