Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Xiao Yunhai took it over, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "It seems that we really made a lot of money."

Jesse laughed and said, "Of course. I did a rough calculation, and you can get at least 4000 million US dollars in profit. This is just the United States. If you count other regions, my God, I'm going crazy."

Xiao Yunhai shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's also thanks to the promotion of the movie, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten such a good result. Jesse, I'm here to ask you to help me with my advice. You should read these materials first .”

Chapter 804 Negotiations

Jesse picked up the photo and looked at it seriously, the more he looked at it, the more frowning he got.

Xiao Yunhai said: "When the four major publishing houses released the first "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", they used to do this kind of shameless deed secretly, but they gave up when they saw that it was impossible to do so. .Although they did it secretly, but the financial staff I sent saw the clues from the sales report from time to time. This time, I hired a private detective to secretly watch them for me, and it turned out to be like this."

After reading the information, Jesse looked serious and asked, "How much did they hide?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "At least 1000 million copies."

Jesse gasped, and said in shock: "They are too cruel, they are simply insane."

Xiao Yunhai said: "If it's 80 million copies, I don't care. Every industry has its own unspoken rules. As long as it doesn't go too far, just turn a blind eye and close one eye. If the water is clear, there will be no fish." Well. But secretly printing more than 1000 million copies and putting them on the market is blatantly blatant."

Jesse nodded, and said: "According to the price they set, the sales of 1000 million copies can make a profit of 5000 million U.S. dollars. This is already a very big crime. However, Xiao, I hope you can do it privately. Yes. They can become world-class publishing houses, and the energy behind them is very large. If you directly disclose these things to the public, the loss of the four major publishing houses will be unprecedented. In this way, I am afraid that they will be against you. "

Xiao Yunhai said: "I understand what you mean. To be honest, I don't want to completely enmity with them. But since they have done such a thing, no matter what, I must seek justice. No matter how much they eat, I will Spit it out twice for me. Otherwise, they really think I, Xiao Yunhai, are easy to bully."

Jesse said shyly, "Xiao, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have introduced them to you."

Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said with a smile: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Jesse, help me get them over here, I want to have a good talk with them. If the talk fails, then I can only see the court."

Jesse nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call them right away."

In front of Xiao Yunhai, Jesse called the four major European publishing houses, asking them to come to Los Angeles tomorrow to discuss matters related to the "Harry Potter" series of novels.

After the phone call, Jesse asked, "Xiao, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Yunhai sneered and said, "They have to pay the price for their greed. In addition to spitting out what they ate, I also want each of them to pay me a hush money of [-] million U.S. dollars."

When Jesse heard this, he laughed and said, "You are more ruthless than them. However, I believe they will pay you [-] million US dollars honestly, otherwise, their losses will be even greater."

At ten o'clock the next morning, Xiao Yunhai came to the conference room of Crown Publishing House.

This time, all the old acquaintances of Xiao Yunhai came to negotiate, Cole from Macmillan Publishing Company in the UK, Louis from Sey Press in France, Darren from Mondadori Publishing in Italy, Bertelsmann from Germany Green of the Publishing Group.

Xiao Yunhai shook hands with the four of them calmly, and Jesse asked the staff to bring them a cup of coffee each, and said, "I am very glad that the four of you can come to my Crown Publishing House. This time, Mr. Xiao proposed, I called everyone here. If there is anything, everyone can talk about it.”

Cole took a sip of his coffee and said, "Mr. Xiao, congratulations on your "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" selling 3000 million copies worldwide. This is the best result in ten years."

Xiao Yunhai said playfully: "Mr. Cole, did your calculations make a mistake, it should be more than 4000 million copies."

Xiao Yunhai knew that it would be a waste of time to make false claims with these guys, so he pushed the matter aside when he came up.

Cole's expression changed, his pupils shrank slightly, and he said, "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean by that? Why can't I understand?"

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "You guys have had such a good time cooperating with Leith Bookstore and Fantasia Bookstore, how could you not understand."

The four of them looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.

Darren said: "Race Bookstore and Fantasy Bookstore are the two largest bookstore chains in Europe, of course we have to cooperate with them."

Xiao Yunhai sneered and said, "Are you cooperating to trick me?"

Darren frowned, forced a smile and said, "Why? Mr. Xiao really knows how to joke?"

Xiao Yunhai's eyes were like swords, he looked at Da Lun and said, "I never joke."

Xiao Yunhai threw the copied materials on the table, and said coldly: "Everyone can take a look at these things, I think you will be very interested."

The four of them picked up the documents one after another and read them.

Time passed by every minute and every second, but the four of them felt that the days felt like years. The hands holding the photos were trembling slightly, and cold sweat was streaming from their faces.In the end, everyone's faces were ashen.

Cole put down the materials first, adjusted his glasses, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xiao, what do you want?"

Seeing every thing that could kill him, Cole no longer had any thoughts of arguing, and at the same time deeply understood a Chinese idiom, man is a knife and I am a fish.

Xiao Yunhai said: "First of all, all the mistakes must be corrected, and one book must not be missed. Second, each publishing house needs to pay me a hush money of [-] million US dollars."

When Louis heard this, he stood up and said, "Mr. Xiao, your request is really too much. Two hundred million US dollars, my God, even if it is a court judgment, it will definitely not be so high."

Xiao Yunhai said: "In that case, let's meet in court."

Cole said quickly: "Mr. Xiao, don't get me wrong, Louis didn't mean that."

Xiao Yunhai said coldly: "I don't care what you mean. I just want you to understand one thing, that is, the two conditions just now are not to discuss with you, but an ultimatum from me. If you can't make the decision, you You can call and ask someone who can do it.”

Darren slapped the table and said angrily, "Mr. Xiao, is he trying to kill us? Let me tell you, the advantages of our four major publishing houses are not so easy to take advantage of."

Xiao Yunhai laughed directly, and said, "Are you threatening me?"

Darren sneered, "So what?"

Xiao Yunhai stood up, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he exuded a powerful aura, and said, "Mr. Darren, it's not that I look down on you. If you want to play tricks on me, I'm afraid you won't be able to. Do you believe it or not? As long as I make a phone call, not only will you not be able to go back, but even your family members will follow you to meet God.”

Darren said angrily: "Are you scaring us?"

"Scare?" Xiao Yunhai snorted, and said with a sneer, "That's right, I'm just scaring you. I'm sorry, I have something else to do, so let's talk about it today. Before two o'clock in the afternoon, if I don't see eight If you don’t want a cash check worth [-] million U.S. dollars, then everyone can only meet in court.”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yunhai walked out the door.

Seeing that he was about to walk out of the meeting room, Xiao Yunhai stopped suddenly and said, "Everyone, I have already shown mercy. I can buy these things for a mere [-] million US dollars. I think it is very worthwhile."

After Xiao Yunhai left, Jesse also quickly slipped out when he saw that something was wrong.

Chapter 805 Means

In the meeting room, only the heads of the four major publishing houses were left. The atmosphere inside was very solemn, and the air seemed to freeze.

Cole looked at the photos and documents on the table, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "No, we can't sit still and let Xiao Hu come."

Darren immediately agreed, saying: "That's right, Xiao must be taught a lesson. Two hundred million dollars, what a joke, he dares to open his mouth."

Louis said: "What about these things? If the check cannot be handed over to him before two o'clock in the afternoon, I'm afraid he will go to a lawyer immediately. Once it gets out, we will have a serious crisis of trust. Such consequences, but More than a mere [-] million U.S. dollars."

Green said, who hadn't spoken all the time: "This matter has too much influence, I need to ask the boss for instructions."

The other three looked at each other, got up almost at the same time, and took out their phones at the same time.

Ten minutes later, the four of them sat together again and shared the instructions of their respective bosses. Without exception, they were all one word, procrastination.

The four discussed it, and finally Cole called Xiao Yunhai, and the call was connected quickly.
