Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Xiao Yunhai said: "No way. The sales volume is 3000 million. This is my bottom line. And I also have a condition. I don't care about other countries. You can't enter Huaxia, because I have a publishing house with a very happy cooperation there."

"NO, NO, NO" Louis exclaimed: "Mr. Xiao, your conditions are too much. China has a population of 15 billion, even if only one percent of people buy this book, it can bring us hundreds of millions Wealth in U.S. dollars. We will never allow it.”

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Mr. Louis, are you sure? I am a writer in Huaxia, and I have written four books, which have sold 6000 million copies and have more than 4000 million fans. As long as I say a word, they will scramble to buy it. I can still guarantee at least 2000 million sales. With such a large profit, if it is you, you should make the same choice as me."

Green said: "Even if the profit is big, does it have anything to do with you? Your publishing house that you cooperate with is the big one."

Xiao Yunhai shook his head, and said: "My latest martial arts novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" sold 5000 million copies, and Sunshine Publishing House gave me 90.00% of the profit."

"Impossible." Darren exclaimed: "How could he give you such a high price? Also, your novel has really sold 5000 million copies? This is too incredible."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "It's not difficult to find out in China. If you really want the China market, you need to give me a 30.00% dividend."

Cole frowned, glanced at the three of them, and said, "Mr. Xiao, we feel that you are too insincere. If you insist on this, we will have to give up."

Xiao Yunhai said solemnly: "Four gentlemen, I'm really sorry. Whether it's you or the publishing house behind, this condition will never change."

Seeing Xiao Yunhai's determination, the faces of Cole and the others were very ugly.

They stood up at the same time, made a gesture to leave, and said: "In this case, we can only give up."

Xiao Yunhai didn't have the slightest intention to persuade him to stay, he said: "I'm very sorry to let everyone come here in vain. I'm going to have dinner with Kerry at noon, so I'm afraid I can't entertain the four of you."

Cole narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Xiao, is the Kerry you're talking about MGM Mr. Kerry-Smith?"

Xiao Yunhai asked in surprise: "Mr. Cole knows him?"

Cole smiled and said, "Of course. We have a best-selling novel in our bookstore, which was valued by Mr. Kerry, so we have a cooperation. The two of you are not discussing the "Harry Potter" movie, are you?"

Jesse, who has been watching the excitement, said: "Two days ago, Kerry has confirmed that he will shoot "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", with an estimated investment of 5000 million US dollars, and it is estimated that MGM's review process has already been completed. "

"5000 million US dollars, isn't it a bit too little?" Cole asked.

Jesse pointed to Xiao Yunhai and said, "5000 million US dollars is only half of the investment, and the other half will be borne by Mr. Xiao in front of you. Everyone, if we start preparations now, the movie will be released at the end of the year. By then, our first The second part will also be released. When the time comes, don’t blame us for not giving you a chance.”

The four of them looked at each other, frowned, and sat down again.

Chapter 521 Agreement reached

The house was silent.

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Gentlemen, since the dividend agreement cannot go through, then we can go through the gambling contract."

Cole's eyes lit up, and he said, "What does Mr. Xiao mean?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "My meaning is very simple, that is to determine the proportion of dividends based on the sales volume of the novel. If the sales volume of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" exceeds 1000 million copies, I will account for 1000% of the 20.00 million copies. Dividends. If the sales volume exceeds 2000 million copies, I will account for 1000% of the 20.00 million copies, and so on, until I can account for [-]%. What do you think?"

Xiao Yunhai's method is very beneficial to him.

The cultural atmosphere of this world is far stronger than that of the previous life, the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker.

Just like Xiao Yunhai's martial arts novels, each one is better than the other. Today's "Legend of the Condor Heroes" has exceeded 5000 million copies. After reading this novel, fans who think it is very good return to buy Xiao Yunhai's novel. In this way, Yunhai's other three novels formed a virtuous circle.

And the sales volume of other writers' works is not 01:30 less than Xiao Yunhai's.

Xiao Yunhai sold 5000 million copies, and it would be good if they could sell [-] or [-] copies.

The seven "Harry Potter" books sold [-] copies in the previous life. In this world, it is conservatively estimated to be at least half as high, that is, [-] million copies.

Even with an average of [-] million copies, the benefits obtained by Xiao Yunhai's method are far higher than the dividends given by Ge Lin and the others.

Besides, once "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" becomes popular all over the world, the starting point for copyright is not 20.00%.

Green said: "This is a good way. Mr. Xiao, we need to discuss it and give you an answer later."

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Of course."

Xiao Yunhai and Jesse got up and walked out of the reception room, leaving room for them to discuss.

Xiao Yunhai stood in front of the corridor window and asked, "Jessie, do you think they will agree with my method of dividend distribution?"

Jesse said confidently: "It will definitely. Their pursuit of money is far beyond your imagination. However, the starting point of 20.00% is impossible. They will press down to 15.00%. In the end, both parties will take a step back and become [-]%. That's their strategy."

Xiao Yunhai said in surprise: "How dare you be so sure."

Jesse smiled and said, "I know them too well. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet, how about a bottle of French Louis XIII?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "That's for sure. Let me tell you, in the past few years, I have never lost a game with anyone."

Jesse said confidently, "You will lose this time."

While the two were chatting and joking, Cole opened the door and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, our discussion has come to an end."

Xiao Yunhai and Jesse exchanged glances, and returned to the reception room together.

Xiao Yunhai asked: "I don't know what the result of the discussion between the four gentlemen was?"

Cole said with a smile: "We fully agree with Mr. Xiao's distribution method, but the initial dividend point should be [-]%."

When Xiao Yunhai heard this, he glanced at Jesse who had a smug face, and said, "It's impossible. Ten percent is too low, and I won't agree to it no matter what."

Green said: "Mr. Xiao, we think this ratio is very appropriate. To reach 30.00%, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" only needs to sell 5000 million."

Xiao Yunhai chuckled, and said: "Mr. Ge Lin, I want to ask you, in the past two years, your publishing house has sold several works with a sales volume of more than 5000 million. Let alone 5000 million, I'm afraid 3000 million is not much." .”

Green said: "But this book has that potential."

Xiao Yunhai shook his head, feeling really tired of this kind of wrangling, so he said: "We both can take a step back, 15.00%, this is my bottom line. If you agree, we can continue talking. If you don't agree, then forget it." gone."

Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, the four pretended to have a discussion, and finally Cole said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, I hope we can cooperate happily."

Xiao Yunhai also showed a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and shook hands with the four of Cole, and said, "I think our cooperation will definitely achieve a win-win effect."

Half an hour later, the contract was signed with both hands.

Xiao Yunhai sold the distribution rights of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" to four publishing houses, allowing them to sell it anywhere outside the United States.

Originally, Cole and the others wanted to bundle Xiao Yunhai's other six novels together for discussion. For this reason, they did not hesitate to increase the initial dividend point from 15.00% to 20.00%. However, Xiao Yunhai still sternly rejected it.

Just kidding, once the first book becomes popular all over the world, Xiao Yunhai will only sell the next six books at his own expense. Even if he needs to distribute 20.00% of the profits to the publishing house, it will be far more than this method of dividends. many.

After finishing the matter, Xiao Yunhai called Kerry and told him to postpone the noon appointment to the afternoon, and then invited four of them to a banquet together with Jesse.

After eating, sending Cole and others to Los Angeles International Airport, Xiao Yunhai came to Kerry's office.

Kerry looked at Xiao Yunhai who walked in, with an unusually rich expression, regret, annoyance, depression, resentment...

Xiao Yunhai naturally knew why, and said with a smile: "Kerry, you have to be generous, so don't let it get you out of it."
