The trip starts from Yongliang land and checks in

Chapter 175 Busy Years
Moreover, if the top-quality rib eye meat is cooked well, it will taste too thick, and you will not experience the tenderness and smoothness of the beef at all.However, this is someone else's business, and he will naturally respect other people's tastes.

During the meal, Editor-in-Chief Chen took the lead to start the topic, "Well, brother Zhang, would you like to take a look at our drafted contract, I guarantee you are satisfied. You can take a look first and make comments. We have already faxed it to your studio Ordered one."

First, the editor-in-chief specially invited Zhang Xiao to a gathering to show his sincerity in renewing the contract. Second, even if Zhang Xiao’s studio passed the review, Zhang Xiao still needed to have a look at it himself. Why not take this opportunity to show him.

Zhang Xiao ate a piece of beef, but raised his head and smiled wryly, "Editor Chen, what's the rush? Let's talk about other lighter things after dinner. Renewal is probably not a big problem anyway, what do you think?"

Zhang Xiao didn't really want to be disturbed while eating, especially when talking about business while eating, it always felt a bit awkward and affected his appetite.And for Zhang Xiao, who can be regarded as a business veteran nowadays, he must take the initiative in signing this matter, and cannot be led by their noses.

"That's right, that's right, you're right... OK, let's talk about it after dinner, look at how impatient I am, I really need to change."

Zhang Xiao ate unhurriedly, talking and laughing with the three of them.

Finally, after eating, Zhang Xiao wiped his mouth and said proactively, "Okay, I'll take a look at your contract now."

Zhang Xiao took the initiative to mention this matter, and editor-in-chief Chen quickly said, "Okay, I'll get it for you."

Zhang Xiao wiped his mouth with a napkin, took a stack of contracts, and read them carefully, trying to figure out every clause and every line.When he watched, the three editors inevitably looked very nervous.

Finally, Zhang Xiao saw the most important point. In addition to the previous agreement on the transfer of shares, the copyright buyout fee has risen to 400 million, and the profit share of each book is 40.00%.Zhang Xiao shrugged, it was barely okay, everything was in line with Zhang Xiao's wishes, but when he saw one of the messages, his brows frowned.

Zhang Xiao said: "What? The price of a book has to be greatly increased, and it is 48 yuan? Are you really okay?" The audience of these books is mainly his fans and audiences. Such a high price is a bit too much. pitted.Moreover, if the price is high, many people will definitely feel that he is becoming more and more inflated, and will not buy it, and it will have a bad impact on the reputation of him and the studio.Zhang Xiao's idea is: the publishing house wants to make more money in a short period of time, and setting the price too high is too short-sighted.

The editor-in-chief responded with a smile: "I didn't set this price alone. We set the price based on your social status and other comprehensive factors. You see, you fought wild boars and poachers in Shennongjia. It was so exciting, for sure. Worth the price."

Because in order to win the copyright of Zhang Xiao’s travel notes, they really sacrificed all their money in the contract, and even promised a share of up to 35%. The level of profit is full, so cut more leeks.Because what they think is that if they invest more, they will definitely get a big return! !

What's more, there is also some internal pressure from the company, because it was a bit controversial to offer such generous conditions to Zhang Xiao at the beginning.

Zhang Xiao shook his head, and put the contract directly on the table: "I wonder if you have misunderstood something. Most of the people who bought this book are my fans and live viewers. The last book was only about twenty years old. Yuan, now that the price has risen sharply, it is not a good thing for our reputation."

At this time, Editor-in-Chief Chen said with a smile: "Well, how about I add another 100 million buyout fee for you, [-]% of the shares invested, and you leave the pricing to us, what do you think?"

Zhang Xiao shook his head and fell into silence, frowning as he thought about something.At this moment, everyone was looking at him, their hearts pounding.After a while, Zhang Xiao said: "Well, we can't sign the contract today, so let's communicate more later. I'm sorry, but thank you for your dedication to the behind-the-scenes work of my last book. Let me pay the bill, don't be shy..."

The three faces were blinded, Zhang Xiao smiled at them, and when he was about to stand up, a middle-aged man ran up beside him. When the Wenyuan people saw him, their hearts tensed, and Editor-in-Chief Chen's face turned pale instantly.

The man held Zhang Xiao's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "You are Zhang Xiao, right? I'm from Xishan Publishing House. I heard that the people from Wenyuan promised you shares, right?! We are willing too!!! And The treatment is guaranteed to be more generous than theirs!!!”

At this moment, the people from Wenyuan Publishing House became flustered. They managed to win the copyright of Zhang Xiaoyouji, so they can't just let it go! !
So, Editor-in-Chief Chen immediately got up and said, "Hey, hey, man, you're being too unkind, just poaching corners in such a grandiose manner?"

The editor-in-chief of Xishan Publishing House smiled disdainfully: "Have you signed a contract with Mr. Zhang Xiao? You haven't." Just now, this person has been paying attention to their conversation at the dining table not far away, quietly observing.

He said to Zhang Xiao: "Mr. Zhang, we invite you to cooperate with our agency with great sincerity. No matter what you ask for, we will agree unconditionally. Come on, if you have time now , let’s make an appointment at another place to discuss the contract, and we’ll make sure you’re satisfied.”

At this time, Editor-in-Chief Chen also stepped forward and firmly grabbed Zhang Xiao's hand: "Brother Zhang, actually, I was joking with you just now, if you are not satisfied with the book pricing, we can talk about it again... No, no , the pricing will be according to your requirements, this time we are indeed short-sighted, please don't mind, and increase the copyright fee, look, let's sign the contract now."

The people from Xishan Publishing House gritted their teeth and said: "Buy out the copyright fee, 800 million, plus 20.00% of the shares!!!" When he said this, everyone gasped, this treatment Too exaggerated, right? ?

Editor-in-chief Chen struggled, and he took a deep breath: "1000 million! Brother, brother, I really regret it, just come here."

"200 million." The people from Xishan gritted their teeth and called out the price directly.

To be honest, Zhang Xiao is a little confused now, seeing the two people in front of him gesticulating in front of him, how can they reach more than 1000 million?Is this throwing money at yourself?

The people eating around were shocked when they heard such a movement, and there were millions or tens of millions of them at every turn. They looked at Zhang Xiao curiously, who is this young man who made them charge such a high price?
However, they have a very tacit understanding. They didn't talk about the share of each book and the share transfer ratio, because this is really reaching the ceiling. No matter how high it is, they can't promise it, so they can only continue to increase the copyright buyout fee.

Editor-in-Chief Chen gritted his teeth when he saw Xishan.At this moment, he regretted to death in his heart.When he woke up this morning, he felt his right eyelid twitching all the time, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He didn't expect that there would be such a cut-off.If I had known earlier, I would have listened to Zhang Xiao's request and signed the contract directly.

Editor-in-Chief Chen took a deep breath, "Zhang Xiao, let me tell you, Xishan Publishing House is not as good as us in terms of qualifications, nor is the capital behind it as strong as ours. I am also willing to offer a buyout of 200 million, 23 There is really no way to add more to the transfer of shares, and our boss has spent a lot of money, so let's sign it, okay?" When he said these words, he stared at Zhang Xiao and gritted his teeth.

The people from Xishan came here today with a feeling that they are going to die and see death as home.They are well aware of the commercial value of the copyright of Zhang Xiao’s follow-up travel notes, not to mention the booming trend of Zhang Xiao’s studio in the self-media industry, and it is unknown to enter overseas markets in the future. It has achieved such a business myth as it is today, and it is worth investing in any case, and it has a bright future! ! !
At that moment, the people in Xishan took a deep breath and said, "The copyright fee is 500 million." When he said this, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Phew~ Zhang Xiao is a little ashamed, what about it? ?The copyright fee has already jumped to 500 million, which does not include any equity transfer and other benefits
In this situation, it is impossible to say that he is not moved. In fact, he also knows that the commercial value of his travel notes is very large, but it is not so great. The reason why the two persons in charge of the publishing house are so Putting down capital is still betting on the future, thinking it is just a long-term investment.

At this moment, editor-in-chief Chen was about to cry when he heard the conditions offered by the man from Xishan.For a time, cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and the sky seemed to have collapsed.

He still persisted, took a deep breath and said, "Brother, I offer the same conditions as him, but you must make the most rational and calm decision!! You saw that the sales of a book exploded, we didn't Hard work comes with hard work!" To be honest, the price Xishan offered was beyond what Wenyuan could afford.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiao said: "Okay, don't argue anymore, I have to go back to Guandu Ancient Town early, how about this, let me think about it when I give you an answer later?"

The people from Xishan immediately handed over a business card, and said sincerely: "No problem, Mr. Zhang, we in Xishan are looking forward to your reply, don't worry, although our qualifications are not as old as Wenyuan, the capital behind us in Xishan is no different. Give it a go, we are the general trend, and we are not inferior in terms of professionalism. The well-known contracted authors supported by our company in recent years are..." He named several famous pen names, and Zhang Xiao also slightly I have heard.

Editor-in-Chief Chen said not to be outdone, "Brother, we have published your book before, and now we have a tacit understanding of cooperation. You must choose us. I apologize again for the unreasonable decision of our company before..."

After Zhang Xiao smiled and shook hands with them respectively, he quickly paid the bill and slipped away.

Soon the special car that Zhang Xiao reserved arrived. After he got in the car, he lowered the window, waved goodbye to the two of them again, and quickly signaled the driver to speed up and leave.

To be honest, Zhang Xiao was still a little worried. He was really afraid that after he left, the two of them would fight.Sure enough, Zhang Xiao glanced at the rearview mirror, and the two pointed at each other and started arguing...

Zhang Xiao sighed, no matter what they said, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When he was driving, he suddenly remembered the scene just now, felt very helpless, and shook his head and sighed.It was a good signing, but I didn't expect it to turn into a farce in the end. However, in a sense, they are trying to suppress each other, so they compete so fiercely to raise prices.

It has to be said that he knows that the commercial value of his brand has unlimited potential in the future, and Zhang Xiao will let them know that he is worth investing in. But should he choose Wenyuan or Xishan, whose treatment seems a little more attractive?But in fact, their opening conditions are similar.
At this time, editor-in-chief Chen sent himself some WeChat messages, which were nothing more than various apologies and good words, saying that he would definitely promise him great speech rights and freedom in the future.
Seeing editor-in-chief Chen's sincerity and sincerity, Wenyuan is eager to make money, but also wants to recover the investment as soon as possible. It is understandable that he has indeed exhausted his resources and only cares about immediate interests, regardless of long-term plans.

But I have to give them confidence and stabilize their company's hearts
Forget it, after all, I have experience and tacit cooperation with them, and the editor-in-chief Chen is indeed a very enthusiastic person, who has given me great creative freedom, and I still hope to cooperate with them for a long time.In short, from now on, I will always control the right to speak. Anyway, I also have the backing of the studio, and I am not afraid of being cheated by them in the future.
At this moment, Zhang Xiao pondered, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart...how about publishing by himself, holding the copyright firmly in his own hands.

……

Inside the ancient city of Guandu.

After he just came back to deal with the contract affairs, because he had to contact Xishan and the boss of Wenyuan one after another, and then communicate with the studio, etc., he had just returned from the inn after a few hours of work, and he had no time to rest, so he was about to go out again. .

Today, I need to get the sleep test and video of the last inn. After all, I can only give a detailed sleep test report after a real night's sleep.

So, on the largest balcony of this inn.

Zhang Xiao was wearing a vest together, sitting silently on the sky realm!As for Chen Xi, he stayed by his side. Zhang Xiao had indeed been exhausted physically and mentally these past few days, so she chose to accompany him to complete the last sleep test task, and soon after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he set off again to put everything in order. Everything is really forgotten, as the shopkeeper.

This so-called sky realm is to take pictures on the large glass under the blue sky.

In this way, the reflection will be displayed perfectly, as if the four directions of up, down, left, and right are all the sky.

A mirror that can completely reflect the sky, and people in it will be more photogenic.
