Zhang Liye closed the door and called Xiao Yunhai.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang." Xiao Yunhai's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao." Zhang Liye felt relieved when he heard that Xiao Yunhai's tone was the same as before.
"Mr. Zhang, your efficiency is a bit low. I received a total of 12 calls this afternoon, all from the publishing house. You're the last one. "
"To be honest, Mr. Xiao, I'm not from Minsheng Publishing House anymore …"
Zhang Liye told Xiao Yunhai about his relationship with Sunshine Publishing House. Finally, he asked, "Mr. Xiao, do you have time? My old friend wants to talk to you."
"How about this? It's 4 PM now. If you and Mr. Wang are free, you can go to a place called Exquisite Tea House next to Die Cui Community. I'll wait for you there with my agent. You can also call the people from Sunshine Publishing House over. We can have a good talk. "
"Great. We'll go there now."
Zhang Liye finished the call and said to Wang Wenxuan, who was full of joy, "It's done. You can call the people from Sunshine Publishing House to negotiate. If it's done, you'll have a firm foothold there. "
Wang Wenxuan said gratefully, "Old Zhang, I won't say anything. Thank you."
Ling Long Teahouse was a place with a very elegant environment. When they walked in, they could smell the strong fragrance of tea.
There were calligraphy and paintings on the walls. Whether it was the stairs or the tables and chairs, they were all antique and elegant.
After Xiao Yunhai came here once, he immediately fell in love with this place. When he had nothing to do, he would come here for a drink. After a while, he became friends with the boss.
"Old Li, there are a few guests coming today. Get me a slightly bigger room and make me a pot of good Longjing tea. Don't try to fool me with those inferior products."
The boss, Li Yunfei, was a fat man in his thirties. He was 1.7 meters tall but weighed 100 kilograms. He was very shrewd in doing business and had his own way of dealing with people.
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Li Yunfei smiled and said, "Don't worry. Today, I just brought in a batch of the best tea leaves. I guarantee that you will be satisfied. I say, can you tell me if there's a big star coming? I have to prepare for their autographs. "
"Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you. This time, it's someone from the publishing house. Besides, even if I'm a superstar, I don't see you giving me a discount. "
"I've already given you a 50% discount every time you come over. What else do you want? People like you can earn tens of millions just by shooting an advertisement. How would you know the difficulties of ordinary people like us? "
"Alright, stop bullshitting me. They're almost here. Hurry up and find me a place. "
Soon, Xiao Yunhai came to a private room called Wen Ya Pavilion.
Five minutes later, Su Yingxue, wearing a tight black down jacket, hurriedly opened the door of the private room. When she saw Xiao Yunhai, who was leisurely drinking tea, she suddenly became angry. She pointed at him and scolded, "I've been so busy this afternoon. I've received no less than 30 phone calls. You, on the other hand, still have time to leisurely drink tea here. You're really pissing me off. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Su Yingxue. He said, "Sister Xue, you're very angry. That's not good. Come on, drink some tea to cool down. "
Su Yingxue sat on the chair and looked at him angrily. She said angrily, "Don't play this game with me. Tell me, what's the matter? Why did you ask me to come here in such a hurry? "
"Of course, it's about my book 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'."
"Wait a minute. Let's make it clear first. You also know that our contract only includes your contract as an actor and a record contract. It doesn't include any martial arts novels. If I give you a good price, what are you going to give me? "
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "I definitely won't let you work for nothing. Don't say that I'm not taking care of you. I'm very confident in 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'. The sales volume will be at least 30 million. If the promotion is good, it can even reach 40 to 50 million. "
"Cough, cough."
Xiao Yunhai's words made Su Yingxue, who was drinking tea, suddenly choke. After a while, she recovered and said, "Did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong? 40 to 50 million? Are you kidding me? "
Xiao Yunhai handed Su Yingxue a tissue and said, "Sister Xue, don't be so surprised. Let's talk about the sales volume with facts. Let's talk about the negotiation first. The price in my heart is 60% of the total sales profit. If you have the ability to negotiate more, then I'll give you 100,000 for every extra point. What do you think? "
"I don't think so. 60%? Do you think the people in the publishing house are idiots? "
"You don't say. They might really be idiots who are giving me money."
Xiao Yunhai told Su Yingxue about the situation of Sunshine Publishing House that he learned from Zhang Liye. Su Yingxue's eyes lit up. She snapped her fingers and said, "I understand. Don't worry."
After a while, Zhang Liye and Wang Wenxuan came in with a gentle middle-aged man.
Xiao Yunhai stood up and said with a smile, "Teacher Zhang, long time no see. You're still as elegant as ever."
Zhang Liye smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. I'm a retired old man now. How can I still be elegant? Come, let me introduce you. This is my good friend Wang Wenxuan. You should know him on the phone. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and shook hands with Wang Wenxuan. He said, "Teacher Wang, nice to meet you."
Wang Wenxuan smiled and said, "You're welcome. I've heard a lot about you. 'Xiao Li's Flying Dagger' and 'The Legend of Chu Liuxiang' are always on my bedside. I read a few chapters every time before I go to bed. They're really well written. "
"Teacher Wang is right. I also have these two books on my bedside. Mr. Xiao, nice to meet you. I'm Hua Mingquan from Sunshine Publishing House. Please forgive me for coming uninvited. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Mr. Hua, you're too polite. This is my agent, Ms. Su Yingxue. I've given her full authority regarding 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'. Please sit down and try the West Lake Longjing tea. "
After they sat down, Hua Mingquan picked up his teacup and took a sip. He said, "Good tea."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Hua is very knowledgeable about the tea ceremony."
"How so? I'm just pretending to be cultured. Businessmen like us deal with the stench of money all day long. If we don't read some books, drink some tea, and cultivate our temperament, I'm afraid that we won't even recognize ourselves. "
Xiao Yunhai greatly appreciated Hua Mingquan's words. He couldn't help but have a good impression of him. He clapped and said with a smile, "The ancient people say that they should reflect on themselves three times. Mr. Hua can be considered as an elegant businessman. Yunhai admires you."
Hua Mingquan shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Mr. Xiao, you're flattering me. I'm just an ordinary person who does ordinary things every day. Today, I'm also here for the distribution rights of 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' by Mr. Xiao. I wonder what kind of requirements Mr. Xiao has for you to give it to our Sunshine Publishing House to distribute? "
Although Hua Mingquan had a bookish aura, he was very direct and efficient when it came to doing things.
