Reborn Tycoon Rise

Chapter 18 Negotiation (2)

Xu Zhi continued: "But it is better to say something clearly now. Before the company's funds are exhausted, the newspaper is not allowed to accept financing, and large investments must be approved by both of us."

Zou Wenhuai said: "Is this no different from a veto?"

Xu Zhidao: "Zou Sheng can say that I have a villain's heart, but in terms of capital, I can't compare to Zou Sheng. Without these restrictions, I'm afraid an ordinary financing can dilute my shares. This is just self-protection! "

Zou Wenhuai said: "Okay, except for financing, I have the final say in other business aspects. I can also use my own funds and loans for large investments. I will also discuss this with Xu Sheng."

If you really want to find a way to dilute the shares, there are actually many other ways, but Zou Wenhuai has already said it to this point, and it is difficult to pursue it in detail. Xu Zhi can only nod and say: "Okay, no problem."

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "That's the end of the first question. The second one is that Xu Sheng wants me to invest 3 million for 10% of the shares. So Xu Sheng's novel is worth 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. I don't know how much this novel has. How many words, but I have never heard of any novel that is so valuable!"

Xu Zhidao: "Almost a little over one million! Calculated, 300 yuan for a thousand words is indeed very expensive, but if Zou Sheng wants to think about it this way, Jin Yong's first novel in Ming Pao was so proud that it made Ming Pao famous for two consecutive years. The sales volume ranks among the top five in Hong Kong, with a sales volume of 50,000 copies. Even if a newspaper earns only a dime, it is more than one million a year, not to mention advertising revenue. The countless customers it has attracted are the foundation of the entire newspaper. Now you can read Ming Pao. It’s a good novel, but it still sells well.”

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "That's also due to management, there is a market for novel manuscript fees.

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "When Zou Sheng hired Bruce Lee, the actor's salary was also fixed. If it hadn't been for breaking the rules, I'm afraid there wouldn't be Jiahe today. Zou Sheng has capital, and I have a good novel. We can cooperate with each other." Isn't it perfect!

Besides, it doesn’t matter whether I took advantage or not. What’s important is that Zou Sheng needs to see whether the deal is a good deal from his own point of view. An investment of three million Hong Kong dollars in exchange for a newspaper with good sales, even from an economic point of view, You won’t lose money either. "

Zou Wenhuai nodded and said: "It makes sense. It is indeed possible according to what you said, but the premise of all this is that the quality of your novels must be comparable to Jim Yong. How can you guarantee it?"

Xu Zhidao: "There is no guarantee. No one will know the result until this kind of thing is published in a book. If I think about it, I wouldn't believe it. But what kind of business in this world is without risks? If Mr. Zou is right, he can get a lot of money A newspaper with excellent sales would not lose much if it lost. Mr. Zou just thought that he had opened a newspaper independently. Except for Ming Pao, all other newspapers started from scratch like this. Besides, my last novel also had good results. And now this book is a continuation of the previous story. With this, it can also absorb a lot of popularity, and the storyline is even more exciting."

Zou Wenhuai asked: "Is it the sequel to The Iron-Blooded Prodigy?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "It cannot be said to be a sequel. The correct statement is that Jagged Prodigy is just a prequel to Kunlun."

After saying that, Xu Zhi took out a manuscript from his bag and said, "Here are the first 100,000 words. Mr. Zou can read it before drawing a conclusion!"

Zou Wenhuai looked at the manuscript on the table and did not open it to read. Instead, he shook his head and said with a smile: "As we get older, it is more difficult to read novels. It is not as good as you young people. It is more comfortable to watch movies!"

Xu Zhidao: "If Mr. Zou is not interested in this proposal, then maybe Sir Shao Yifu will have different ideas."

Zou Wenhuai nodded and said: "Maybe, but a novel of 100,000 words seems too tiring. Xu Sheng might as well tell me and listen to it. I just want to hear the plot!"

"That old man is really tricking his mind!" Xu Zhi complained in his heart. If the other party was willing to read his book, the home court would be on his side in a short time. But if he let himself speak out now, even if the original author himself came, in a short time I'm afraid it's difficult to tell a wonderful story.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Zou Sheng's time is precious, let me describe it in a few words. Liang Wenjing was killed, and his son began to wander around the world and entered a secluded sect, but could not learn any martial arts. What happened next? It’s just a cliché.”

The more I talk about it, the harder it is to make it wonderful. There are almost no words to describe it.

After hearing this, Zou Wenhuai laughed and said, "Is this considered Yitian's trick?"

Xu Zhidao: "It's almost the same, the routines are the same, but as long as the plot is well written, it's still a good book."

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "I can't speak to Xu Sheng on this matter. Xu Sheng's ideas are indeed different from ordinary people. I can decide on the newspaper matter, but I want the film and TV adaptation rights of this novel."

Xu Zhi asked: "The movie is easy to understand. Zou Sheng wants the rights to adapt the TV series. Does he want to make a TV series?"

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "Since I can make newspapers, I can also make TV series. Although I don't have a TV station, I can cooperate with Li's or Jiayi. Again, Wanwan can also do it."

Xu Zhidao: "I can authorize the rights to adapt the TV movie for 5 years, and it will be returned to me after 5 years, but Jiahe still has priority."

Zou Wenhuai nodded and said: "Okay, yes, I will ask the lawyer to write out an agreement for the specific details. Xu Sheng has a lot of knowledge, but it is best to hire a professional lawyer. Since everyone is sincerely cooperating, then all the legal details are in Make it clear at the beginning, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with conflicts in the future.”

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Okay, I will find a lawyer, but I have one more thing!"
