When they finally talked about the sale of the novel's copyright, the few of them became much more serious. At this time, Boss Fu smiled and said,"Those are all trivial matters. Little Xia, now that we've finished talking about the off-topic topic, we can talk about cooperation. To be honest, I'm very interested in your book, but you've given us a big problem. The price is too high, and the risk is too high. " All your evidence is based on Gangcheng, but you have never thought that Gangcheng's standard of living is different from other places. For example, Japan's economy is better than Gangcheng's, but their own cultural industry is also very developed, and internal competition is also very fierce. Northland is a country that is extremely xenophobic. It's fine if you want to drink some soup there, but if you plan to conquer the entire Northland market, their citizens will be willing to commit suicide in front of your company. The competition in Wancheng is also very fierce. Back then, when Old Jiang came to Wancheng, he had brought a large group of literati with him. Therefore, although there were markets in these three places, it was difficult to gain a foothold. As for Nanyang, other than Xinjiapo, which was slightly better, there were many places where one could not even eat, let alone have the money to buy a novel to read.
" The price is too high, the risk is too high, the investment is too high, the market is unstable, and to do business outside, you have to build relationships with both the white and black. You also have to translate the novel into their language, and some of the plot of the novel even has to be changed. Xiao Xia, some parts of the novel are very anti-Chinese. If you slander and satirize their country in the novel, then their citizens will dare to kill and set fire to your company, so some content has to be changed."
Xia Qiu quietly listened to Boss Fu's analysis. Other than Wancheng, the other places were indeed anti-Chinese. The most abominable was the country of Indonesia. In the history of several massacres, the victims were all Chinese. There was even a large-scale massacre of Chinese in 1998. According to the records of her previous life, an estimated 500,000 to 600,000 Chinese people had lost their lives in these anti-Chinese incidents. This was an extremely barbaric country with Chinese blood on its hands. Xia Qiu could only sigh helplessly when he thought of this history."The content of Gangcheng and Wancheng cannot be changed. As for the other places, you can change them however you want. However, there is one rule. The content cannot be changed to the point of insulting and slandering the Chinese. "As for the price, since this is a negotiation, it's normal for me to offer a price and you to haggle. Let's not make things up. It's difficult here and difficult there. Let's be straightforward. Boss Fu, what's your price?"
Boss Fu was silent for a moment before saying,"I definitely can't take on such a big market by myself, and I don't have the ability to do so, so I found two other companies to work with. We discussed it and agreed to a price of 15 million. We also want to take back the market in Gang City. Without the market in Gang City as support, the market outside is even more uncertain. If you accept this price, we can sign the contract tomorrow."
This price was indeed a little different from Xia Qiu's expectations. Although this price was already astronomical in the eyes of outsiders, Xia Qiu still wanted to fight for it." Boss Fu, why don't you take a look at the entire content of Return to the Ming Dynasty and Be a Prince? I believe this book is even more exciting than the Journey to Qin."
Boss Fu said with certainty,"There's no need. I've read the content of your two novels that are currently circulating in the market. To be honest, it really made me linger. It's been a long time since I've read such a wonderful novel. I also believe that the later content won't be bad. However, for us, the authors, no matter how well written the novel is, the readers will like it and it will earn them money."However, that doesn't mean that it will definitely sell well elsewhere. That's why we can only offer this price for this book. It's still the same as before. The risk is too high, and there are many unknowns."
After a while, Xia Qiu smiled at the boss and said,"" For our first collaboration, I'll take a step back. I'll accept this price. Return to the Ming Dynasty and Be a Prince, 15 million. I'll sell you the publishing and distribution rights for five years. In the future, I'll only write books and not sell them. Other than Gangcheng and Wancheng, you can change the content however you want. However, there can't be any plot that insults or slanders the Chinese." Xia Qiu stretched out her hand and said,"" Happy cooperation."
After hearing Xia Qiu's words, Boss Fu quickly stretched out his hand and laughed." Alright, happy working together."
The happiest person here was Hu An. When Editor Hu saw that the two of them had reached an agreement, the smile on his face was more than that of Xia Qiu and Boss Fu combined." We really shouldn't have chosen to discuss business here today. We should have found a big hotel. We don't have to always use tea instead of wine when celebrating."" Come, let's replace wine with tea to congratulate the two of you on the success of your cooperation." Xia Qiu and Boss Fu laughed as they finished their tea.
Then, Hu An said to Xia Qiu," Xia, your problem has been solved. You have to remember the promises you made in your two novels. Cheng Bao is waiting for the rice to be cooked."
Xia Qiu chuckled and said," I didn't expect to meet a debt collector right after we finished a deal. Chief Editor Hu, I'll definitely return the favor I owe Cheng Bao. Don't worry. After I finish my novel, Return to the Ming Dynasty and Be a Prince, I'll return the debt to Cheng Bao." After a few days of hard work, Xia Qiu had finished writing the novel, Return to the Ming Dynasty and Become a Prince. Xia Qiu was preparing to open two more novels at the same time. One was 'Lotus Step by Step' to pay off Cheng Bao's debt. This novel was also written by Yue Guan. Among Yue Guan's novels, Xia Qiu's favorite novels were Hui Ming and Lotus Step by Step. Actually, his 'The World of War' was not bad either, but the ending of that novel was too sloppy. The other novel was " The Best Servant ". Xia Qiu intended to publish this novel. When it was published in the future, he would use this book to replace it. This was also a very good novel. Xia Qiu remembered that in his previous life, he had read this book three times, so he had a very deep impression of it. Unfortunately, the author disappeared after writing this book. Even if thousands of people called him, he would not show his face. These two novels had more than three million words each, enough for Xia Qiu to work for a few months.
The next day, Xia Qiu and Boss Fu signed their names on the contract under the witness of the lawyer. 15 million yuan was then transferred to Xia Qiu's account. Xia Qiu handed over all of Hui Ming's manuscripts to Fu. From now on, Xia Qiu no longer needed to rely on her for the novel, Return to the Ming Dynasty and Be a Prince. From now on, Xia Qiu would just focus on writing novels and not do anything else. This was good too, as he could spend more time cultivating in the future. Although it did not reach the price he had expected, Xia Qiu's heart skipped a beat when he saw the 15 million yuan. This deal had made him a millionaire. He had earned more than 10 million yuan in just a few months in Gang City. Just thinking about it gave him a sense of accomplishment. The money that others could not earn in their entire lives, he had earned in a few months. Although he had taken advantage of the identity of a transmigrator, this identity was given to him by the heavens. Would he dare to reject the advantage it gave him?
After signing the contract, Xia Qiuyi said to Cheng,""Boss Fu, in at most three months, my third novel will be finished. If we can work together again, I won't give in like now.”Xia Qiu chuckled.
Boss Fu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xia Qiu to write books so quickly." If we can work together again next time, it means that we've both made money. Even if you want to give in, I'll feel embarrassed. It's enough to make a profit like this once.”After saying that, the two of them chuckled.
