Xiao Yunhai gave Su Yingxue a look. Su Yingxue understood and nodded. She said to Hua Mingquan, "Mr. Hua, 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' is a novel that our Yunhai spent a lot of time and effort to write. I believe you know how influential it is. I received no less than 30 calls this afternoon, including from your company. They all wanted to get the publishing rights for 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'.
"I'm not being modest. No matter which publishing house gets the rights to 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer', its fame will increase exponentially. You should know that there are tens of millions of fans waiting for it. If we give it to Sunshine Publishing House, it's no different from giving you a big advertisement. Everyone in the country will know your company's name. You should agree with this, right? "
Hua Mingquan nodded and smiled bitterly. "That's right. Ms. Su, you don't have to say this. I know how influential 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' is among the fans. I just hope you can be merciful and leave us some money for our hard work. "
Su Yingxue was amused by Hua Mingquan's pitiful expression. She smiled and said, "Mr. Hua, you don't have to be like this. In business, the value of 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' is almost limitless. So, we ask for an 8: 2 profit split. We get 8, and Sunshine Publishing House gets 2. "
"What? 8:2”
Before Hua Mingquan could say anything, Zhang Liye and Wang Wenxuan stood up in shock.
The two of them had worked in Minsheng Publishing House for so many years. They had seen all kinds of things. However, they had never heard of an 8: 2 profit split in the publishing world, let alone seen it.
Zhang Liye also thought that Xiao Yunhai would ask for an exorbitant price. After all, the results of his previous two novels were there. However, 80% profit was still far beyond his expectations.
Even Xiao Yunhai was shocked by Su Yingxue's huge appetite. Using the time when they were drinking tea, he sneaked a glance at her and thought to himself, 'The ancients were right, a woman's heart is the most poisonous. Just now, they said 60% was a bit too much. In less than ten minutes, it increased by 20%. Are they taking Sunshine Publishing House for a fool?
Wang Wenxuan looked at the calm Hua Mingquan and said, "Mr. Hua, we …"
Hua Mingquan waved his hand and interrupted Wang Wenxuan. He smiled bitterly and said to Su Yingxue, "Ms. Su's asking price is really a bit too high. Not to mention Sunshine Publishing House, even Hua Xia Publishing house wouldn't agree to it.. 80%. This is simply trampling on the rules of the publishing industry. "
"It's a rule that's rule rule is beneficial." "That's" said. Mr. Hua, I'll tell you the truth, in this afternoon, nine companies, nine companies that, nine, nine, nine companies, nine companies, and nine companies, nine companies, nine companies offered 80%, and three companies offered offered offered offered.. They is,, I. Xia.... Xia, they, I.. Ding, Yingding..... In the face of huge benefits, rules are nothing. "
I, I, I, I, I.... I, I.... I..... I..... at, I.
.. "" Absolutely not. " Su Yingxue said firmly, "Before Yunhai became famous, 'The Legend of Chu Liuxiang' and 'Xiao Li's Flying Dagger' could sell 40 million copies. Now, his fame in Hua Xia is no less than any superstar. He has tens of millions of fans, movie fans, and book fans. Once 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' is released, it will set off a crazy wave. The name of Sunshine Publishing House will also enter the eyes of the people all over the country.
"Mr. Hua, if Sunshine Publishing House wants to become famous in a short period of time, only 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' can do it. Yunhai once told me that our goal is to achieve a miracle of 50 million copies. Even if we can't, 30 million copies won't be a problem. Mr. Hua, it's now or never. "
Su Yingxue was indeed an excellent manager. She was quick-witted and eloquent. Her words were reasonable and well-grounded. She really had the demeanor of a strong woman.
It was Xiao Yunhai's first time seeing her negotiate. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "Everyone has their own specialization. Looks like I found the right representative."
Zhang Liye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Mr. Xiao, Ms. Su, do you really think that this novel can sell 50 million copies?"
Ever since the rise of online literature, the physical publishing industry had been hit hard. In recent years, other than Xiao Yunhai, there were only one or two writers who could sell more than 10 million copies.
In such a harsh environment, Su Yingxue dared to say that she was aiming for 50 million copies. Even Zhang Liye, who had the most confidence in 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer', felt that Su Yingxue was exaggerating.
After hearing Zhang Liye's words, Xiao Yunhai said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm very confident in 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'. Whether it's the plot or the wording, it's completely at the peak of wuxia novels. I don't want to boast. I don't dare to say that there won't be anyone like it in the future, but it's definitely unprecedented. As long as it's promoted properly, I think it's not impossible to sell 50 million copies. "
Hua Mingquan looked at Xiao Yunhai's confident expression and suddenly had a thought.
"Mr. Xiao, I heard that when you first signed the contract with Minsheng Publishing House, it was an VAM contract."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's right. I signed it with Mr. Zhang back then. "
"Then why don't we sign a similar contract this time?"
"I'd like to hear the details."
Hua Mingquan thought about it and said, "Do you think this is suitable? If the sales of 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' exceed 10 million copies, you'll get 60% of the total profit. If it exceeds 20 million, you'll get 70%. If it exceeds 30 million, you'll get 80%. If it exceeds 40 million, you'll get 90%. At most, it'll be 90%. What do the two of you think? "
Su Yingxue frowned and saw that Xiao Yunhai seemed to be moving. She quickly pulled on his clothes and told him not to agree.
From Su Yingxue's point of view, she already had an absolute advantage in this negotiation. Even if the other party didn't accept 80% of the profit, she felt that at least 70% was still achievable.
And this kind of gambling agreement seemed to be more advantageous, but nothing was absolute. If Xiao Yun Hai were to fail this time, then wouldn't their side suffer a great loss?
Just as Su Yingxue wanted to reject Xiao Yunhai on behalf of Xiao Yunhai, he took a step forward and said, "This proposal is quite interesting."
"Yunhai." Su Yingxue widened her eyes and looked at him angrily.
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "Sister Xue, I understand what you mean, but you have to have confidence in me and in 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'. Mr. Hua insisted on giving us money, so why shouldn't we accept it? I want 90% of the profit. "
Hua Mingquan gave Xiao Yunhai a thumbs up and praised, "Mr. Xiao, you're really bold."
Xiao Yunhai reached out his hand and smiled. "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
Hua Mingquan smiled. "It will be very pleasant."
According to the agreement between the two, Sunshine Publishing House quickly finalized the contract and a staff member brought it over.
Su Yingxue had already hired a lawyer. After carefully checking the contract and confirming that there were no problems, Xiao Yunhai signed it.
With this, the problem of the distribution of 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' was completely solved.
After Hua Mingquan and the others left, Su Yingxue angrily said to Xiao Yunhai, "Are you stupid? Why did you sign this kind of contract? If you hadn't said so much, I could have negotiated at least 70%. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and waved the contract in his hand. "But this time, you helped me negotiate 90%."
Su Yingxue was speechless. She said weakly, "Boss, that requires sales of 40 million."
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "Don't worry, it won't be a problem."
Su Yingxue suddenly became energetic. Her beautiful big eyes looked at Xiao Yunhai expectantly. "Hey, you just said that I helped you negotiate 90%, right?"
"Yes, that's right. That's what I said. "
Su Yingxue was very happy to hear that. She reached out her hand and said to Xiao Yunhai, "Give me the money. You said that as long as it passed 60%, you would give me a commission. Now that it's 90%, it's over 30%. One point is 100 thousand, so you need to pay me 3 million. "
Xiao Yunhai blinked and pretended to be at a loss. "Did I say that? How could I forget. "After speaking, he quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
"Xiao … Yunhai, give me back my money." Su Yingxue shouted as she chased after Xiao Yunhai.
At night, Xiao Yunhai chatted with Zhao Wanqing for a while and told her not to be too tired.
Ever since Xiao Yunhai had finished writing the part of "The Legend of Empresses in the Palace" for her to read, Zhao Wanqing immediately fell in love with the role and insisted on acting.
Actually, Xiao Yunhai also wanted to give the role of Empresses in the Palace to her. After all, it's best to keep the goodies within the family.
However, the role of Empresses in the early stages wasn't difficult for Zhao Wanqing. The only thing lacking in the later stages was the aggressiveness and ruthlessness of Zhao Wanqing.
Therefore, Xiao Yunhai told her that if she wanted the role, she had to act out the aggressiveness of Empresses in the Palace.
Therefore, Zhao Wanqing stopped all her work and went back to the company to find a teacher for training.
Xiao Yunhai asked her out a few times but she didn't come out. Sigh, for Empresses in the Palace, I don't even have the chance to be intimate with my girlfriend. "
After the phone call, Xiao Yunhai once again entered the plot of 'Empresses in the Palace'. Two hours later, Xiao Yunhai's script for 'Empresses in the Palace' was finally completed.
Looking at the fruits of his labor, Xiao Yunhai was very satisfied.
Looking at the time, it was already 11: 30. Xiao Yunhai took a simple shower and fell asleep on the bed.
The next morning, at 10: 00, Xiao Yunhai received a call from Su Yingxue.
"Your advertisement contract with Haoyu Apparel has been settled. The other party is very optimistic about your future, so they agreed to only sign for two years. However, the signing fee has been changed to 15 million yuan a year. Also, you have to wear Haoyu Apparel when you participate in various activities. What do you think? "
"That's not a problem. Thank you, Sister Xue."
"No problem. The advertisement will be shot at 2: 00 this afternoon in the flagship store of Haoyu Apparel. "
"Okay, I got it. Tell Li Bing to come and pick me up. "
In fact, for Xiao Yunhai who was used to filming TV series and movies, advertisements were not very valuable.
