reborn in america

While Adam's family was excited about buying a new manor, and actively planning and arranging it, Tonares led their work team to this small town.

I have to say that at least this speed is still commendable. In addition to Tonares himself, there is also a luxurious lineup of seven other lawyers and assistants from the law firm. It can be said that there is no way out except for the case in hand. Basically all the staff arrived.

This alone is enough to show their sincerity, but sincerity has always been a condiment, and in the end it depends on their preparations for it.

Adam met Tonares on the evening of the second day after the phone call. He was just over 1.8 meters tall, wearing a casual suit without buttons, and looked very unruly. Although he was in his early 40s, It is well maintained, at least looks very handsome, and Greg Anderson is almost two completely different personalities.

He was accompanied by two men in their 40s and [-]s. Compared with him, their personality should be calmer. As for the others, they did not visit Adam's home together.

Because before they came, they made a phone call as a reminder to make an appointment, so Adam didn't feel much surprise when he saw him.

"Hello, you must be Mr. Baker. Please forgive me for coming to visit." Seeing Adam, Tonares spoke to him in a respectful tone, and then shook hands. By the way, Tonares also gave a brief introduction. The two people who came with him: "I'm Tonares, a partner of Anderson & Tonares Law Firm, and the one on the left is our chief lawyer, Roz James, who has a relatively profound knowledge of copyright law. Research."

Speaking of which, Tonares pointed to a man with a height of 1.7 meters [-] and a beard around his long face on his left side.

"Hello, Mr. James, I will trouble you more in the future." Adam reached out his hand and shook hands with the lawyers of this law firm in a friendly way. After all, since Tonares was able to bring him along, and specifically pointed out his ability , is enough to illustrate his professional ability.

"It is my honor to be able to work for the youngest super best-selling author." Although he was highly recommended by Tonares and received courtesy of Adam, Roz James did not dare to have any arrogance at all. The main thing is to serve customers, especially big customers. They will be their financial backers in the future, so naturally they cannot be neglected.

"This is Mr. Kofi Rhodes, a professional novel broker we specially invited from Walker, the largest novel broker company in North America. Mr. Rhodes has extremely rich experience in novel copyright and promotion. I believe It will be of great help to us in future negotiations." Then Tonares introduced the second person, who is close to 1.9 meters tall, very thin and tall, clean-shaven, with a serious face, which is similar to the old Anderson's personality Somewhat similar.

"Hello, Mr. Rhodes, it's a great honor to have you join us." Adam nodded, because the original Anderson-Tonares Law Firm was a pure law firm, and it was not contaminated with the novel agent's image. Work, although there is some overlap between the two, but after all, the art industry has specialization, and it was able to realize this in the shortest time, and invited real industry insiders to join its team. From this point of view, Tonares and the others have achieved It's kind of sincere.

"Hello, Mr. Baker, I have read your "Jurassic Park" several times. It is really a rare good book. It is my honor to be a member of the agent team for this super best-selling book. Glory." Hearing what Adam said, Rhodes didn't dare to underestimate Adam, and quickly replied in a respectful tone.

As a senior fiction agent, he naturally knew about this science fiction novel that shocked the entire industry. If a science fiction novel can sell more than one million, it is enough to be called an annual science fiction masterpiece. It is possible to exceed ten million within a year, and the prospects are extremely broad. A novel with great potential in all aspects can be called a super gold mine.He remembered that when he was still in Volk, his manager became the novel agent of this novel because he couldn't get it in advance, but he regretted it.

"Haha, thank you for your compliment. Please come in, everyone. Let's talk in depth." Because Adam knew that the other party was coming to visit in advance, he asked Catherine to vacate the living room for entertainment. A new house is still very necessary, otherwise it would be inconvenient to talk about things.

A few people followed Adam's footsteps into this slightly dilapidated house, their expressions did not change at all. You must know that there are many people in this world who start from the beginning, then turn red and purple, and soar to the sky. The current poverty is nothing , as long as it has potential and can bring them enough profits, then it doesn't matter if they have a deep talk with them in the open air.

"I don't know what you need. I only have coffee and tea here." Adam asked the three of them to sit down.

"Coffee/water is fine/I don't need anything, thank you." The three replied politely.

Adam poured a cup of coffee for himself and Tonares each, and the other two brought a cup of boiled water. After all this was done, Adam sat down on his seat and officially started talking about "Jurassic" with the others. Discuss the follow-up promotion of "Ji Park" and the most important copyright development authorization.

However, before the negotiation officially started, Tonares took out a contract from his bag, stood up and handed it to Adam, and then said with a little apology: "I'm sorry, our law firm did not agree with this novel earlier. Not paying enough attention to it, and not fulfilling the obligations of a novel agent in the early promotion. In order to show our sincerity, we decided to subtract two points from the original [-]% share, and only take [-]% of the copyright income , I hope you are satisfied."

Adam took the contract in his hand, flipped through it casually, and then pressed down and said, "You know, I have no intention of changing other partners, so you don't need to do that."

"Yes, but this can better show the sincerity of our law firm, and it can be regarded as making up for the previous negligence." Tonares naturally knew that because of their personal relationship, it was impossible for Adam to change partners in a short time , but in order to have a long-term cooperation, the two parties need to have no grievances, so that other competitors will not find opportunities to take advantage of.

And taking a step back, reducing the copyright income to the industry's lowest [-]%, can also block most of the other novel agent teams who want to compete, and save a lot of unnecessary troubles. have to.

"If that's the case, then I'll accept it." Now that the other party has said so much, Adam naturally won't be too hypocritical, and agrees immediately.

Although it is only 40%, the global sales of "Jurassic Park" exceeded [-] million in the previous life, the box office of several movies was [-] billion, the copyright of comics, games and toys, and finally the profits brought by the dinosaur theme park, For these things, as long as Adam can drink some soup, he will be rich enough to bleed. [-]% of the copyright is not a small amount. Since the other party is so generous, why should I push it out hypocritically?

But Adam doesn't know how, he believes whatever he says. Now that "Jurassic Park" is on fire, everyone knows that the profits are huge, and no one wants to get a share of it. Therefore, Adam naturally has to keep an eye on it. He will seek three or four different law firms to verify that there are no loopholes in the contract before formally signing it.

After giving up the benefits and expressing sincerity, the two parties have formally reached a cooperative relationship.That being the case, it is natural to start discussing business.

The first thing I talked about was about the plan for the novel "Jurassic Park" to enter the foreign book sales market. Among the traditional book markets, Europe and Japan are naturally the most important, followed by South America, South Africa, Southeast Asia, South Korea and other countries. Secondary markets such as Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"These are not urgent. I personally don't think there is any need to be too anxious about introducing the novel to the book sales market in other countries." Adam thought for a while and said with a frown.

From the previous life, the sales of this novel in the global market exceeded 70.00 million, of which more than [-]% were contributed by markets outside North America. It can be said that the overseas market has great potential.

However, to know that the overseas novels of previous lives can be so popular, apart from the quality of the novel itself, what is more important is that several films have such a huge advertisement on the premise that they have harvested billions of box office around the world, which is why it is so amazing sales.

In this life, "Jurassic Park" is the novel that comes out first, and the movie has no shadow at all. Although it has caused a huge storm in the United States, it relies on the huge influence of Harper Collins in the United States and its spare no effort. promotion, but even so, there is still a huge gap from the original North American results where the total sales exceeded [-].

"I agree with Mr. Baker." Tonares nodded, agreeing with Adam's statement: "We don't have a sales network abroad, if we rely entirely on Harper Collins' overseas sales network, we will be very passive .”

"However, if we don't take advantage of the current momentum of novels selling in North America, we will negotiate with overseas book publishers about the granting of copyrights. After this period of limelight, we may be pushed down by them, which will greatly increase the profits we get. Reduce." However, Rhodes, who was born as a novel agent, disagreed with this view. In his opinion, it is necessary to strike while the iron is hot, so as to get the most lucrative profits.
