From abandoned baby to CEO

After breakfast, Bach rested in the hotel, and Sun Xue rushed to Mr. Zhang’s game company and called Mr. Li on the way.

Half an hour after Sun Xue arrived at the company, General Manager Li and General Manager Zhang arrived one after another.

When Mr. Li learned that Sun Xue had driven there overnight, he kept praising her for her strong execution ability.

Sun Xue secretly complained that if she wasn't in urgent need of money, she wouldn't have wasted so much time and money.

The following series of conversations all revolved around copyright issues.

During the conversation, Sun Xue learned that game copyright, which she thought was a new thing, had already begun to flourish in China.

Mr. Zhang revealed to Sun Xue that with the rapid development of mobile games and the difficulty in obtaining foreign animation IPs, online novels have become a new battlefield in the battle for IP among major game manufacturers.

"Xiao Sun, as a talented online writer like you, you must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Mr. Zhang said with a sharp look in his eyes, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. I'm not afraid of you making fun of me, but I really don't understand this industry."

"You are Mr. Li's friend, so don't be too polite to me."

Mr. Li added, "Mr. Zhang is a big shot in this industry. If you have any questions, just ask him."

Mr. Zhang took over the topic, "Xiao Sun, do you know what kind of novel themes are most favored by game companies and most likely to be adapted?"

Sun Xue scratched her head, "This... I really don't understand."

Mr. Zhang took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, "For example, the detective suspense genre you wrote, as well as the currently very popular martial arts and fantasy immortal cultivation genres, are the easiest to adapt."

"If you want to make big money in this industry, you have to develop these themes."

The three words "make a lot of money" really hit Sun Xue's heart.

Isn't this the most important thing for her right now?

She silently wrote down what Mr. Zhang said about the topics that could make a lot of money.

"Xiao Sun, I'll tell you one thing and you'll understand."

"Do you know how much the six novels that Shengda Online Literature Game copyrights auctioned recently sold for in total?"

Sun Xue shook her head and looked at Mr. Zhang with expectation.

"A full thirty million."

"What? Thirty million?"

This number completely overturned her perception.

"Yes, it is incredible."

"You may not know that online novels have unique advantages in becoming game IPs. A popular online novel with a huge number of fans and readers can play an amazing role in spreading the word, and the influence of the writer among fans is no less than that of an entertainment star."

Sun Xue's heart was pounding and her blood was boiling.

Thirty million for six works, an average of five million per work.

She thought her game copyright was already very high, but she didn't expect...

The fact that the industry derived from online novels would have such a huge market completely overturned her cognition.

Seeing the light in Sun Xue's eyes, Mr. Zhang revealed his real purpose, "Sun Xue, I asked you to come here this time for another important matter."

"Oh, what's going on?"

"Mr. Li and I have agreed that we want you to work with us. From now on, we will tailor each of your works for you. From the topic selection to market demand, we will make each of your works into a classic, adapted into a film or TV show, or adapted into a popular game."

The word "cooperation" made her very sensitive, and she became alert subconsciously.

Her father worked with others and was defrauded and was almost bankrupt, and she also suffered a lot in this regard.

Cooperation is like a double-edged sword. Good cooperation can make a person soar, but it may also cause a person to be trapped and doomed.

Mr. Zhang handed the contract to her, and said politely, "Xiao Sun, I have prepared the contract. You may want to take a look at it."

Sun Xue flipped through the contract nonchalantly, and Mr. Li added confidently, "Xiao Sun, don't worry. Mr. Zhang and I will definitely make you the most dazzling star in the online novel industry."

Having suffered a lot of losses and even been cheated many times, Sun Xue will not easily believe anyone's promises that sound good.

She deeply understands that behind the seemingly glamorous, elegant and successful people, there are many ugly aspects of human nature.

Greedy, treacherous, insidious, and even unscrupulous.

Especially in the business world, if you are not careful, you will fall into a trap carefully set by others.

Sun Xue smiled and nodded, but did not express her opinion immediately.

When she glanced at the copyright distribution column, it was written in black and white that the copyright fees were divided into 40% and 60%.

The meaning was obvious. If they cooperated, the copyright was worth one million, and she could only get a maximum of four hundred thousand.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, regarding this cooperation, I need to consider it carefully before giving you a reply."

Mr. Zhang smiled brightly. "Don't worry, don't worry. Think about it first. When I come back from abroad, we can sit down and discuss it together."

Then he told Mr. Li beside him, "Xiao Sun, I can't accompany you today. I have to catch a plane soon. Mr. Li, please entertain Xiao Sun for me. It's not easy for Xiao Sun to come all the way to Shanghai. Take her to eat the best, live the best, and play the best. This arduous task is left to you."

Mr. Li smiled attentively, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I'll take care of it."

After seeing off Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li drove his luxury car and insisted on taking Sun Xue to the most famous Hot Spring World in Magic City to take a hot spring bath.

"Thank you, Mr. Li. I won't take a bath in the hot spring. I'm a little tired after traveling all night. I need a good sleep. Wait for my call. I'll treat you to dinner when you wake up."

Mr. Li looked a little disappointed. "Okay, I'll wait for your call."

She would never go to the hot springs with this old man.

She had long noticed that Mr. Li looked at her with lustful eyes, and his obscene gaze wandered over her body. She understood what Mr. Li was thinking.

If she goes to the hot spring with him, who knows if he will take advantage of her.

As she got to know more people, she became defensive, especially towards successful older people.

He is elegant, mature, radiant, and carries his own aura wherever he goes.

Many of them are very generous, smooth-talking, and cunning. Women with weak willpower can easily fall for their money and become their playthings.

When it comes to relationships between men and women, she has her own bottom line. No matter how tempting the other party is, she will never cross that red line.

Mr. Li sent her to the hotel, feeling a little reluctant to let her go. He held her hand for a long time and was unwilling to let go. "Xiao Sun, you can stay a few more days in Magic City this time. I will take care of your food, accommodation and entertainment."

She pulled her hand back and said politely, "Okay, wait for my call."

Because the copyright fee had not yet been paid into his account, and this business was introduced by Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang transferred the copyright fee into Mr. Li's account.

Mr. Li promised her that he would arrange the transfer in the next one or two days. She was a little confused as to why Mr. Zhang didn't just transfer the money directly to her account, but had to go through an extra procedure.

She can't go back now, and can only go home with peace of mind after she gets the money.

When she returned to the hotel, she was actually a little sleepy. Perhaps it was because the matter was settled and she no longer felt any pressure.

As soon as her body touched the bed, she quickly fell asleep.

She was awakened by the urgent ringing of the phone.

The call was from Mr. Li, "Xiao Sun, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

"I have already booked a room at the Wantai Hotel in Magic City. When can I pick you up?"

"Mr. Li, you don't have to pick me up. I can go there by myself." Sun Xue rubbed her eyes and replied.
