Rowling was very happy when he heard that Xiao Yunhai praised her novel so much, and said, "Thank you Mr. Xiao for his love of Harry Potter.. v. You are so confident, can this novel be successful? Really, I am already discouraged myself."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "There is an old saying in China that gold always shines. I think Harry Potter is not just a piece of gold, it may even be a gold mine. Ms. Rowling, would you like it? Sell it to me?"
Rowling said: "Of course I do. Mr. Xiao, just for the film adaptation rights, I have already paid out five million dollars. If it is all copyrights, the price may be higher."
Shige Qiu Yuan, cool knot, secret technique
Rowling thought about it, and said: "I have written a total of five, and there may be two more later. If you are really optimistic about it, I am willing to sell it to you at a price of five million US dollars."
Enemy Keke’s land sentiment
Kerry, who has been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, suddenly exclaimed, "God, Ms. Rowling, are you kidding me?"
Rowling shook her head and said sternly: "I never make jokes about my Harry Potter."
Have no enemies, the enemy is so cold, so lucky
For Xiao Yunhai, buying five Harry Potter for 25 million US dollars is definitely a huge bargain.
But Xiao Yunhai did not show an expression of ecstasy. Instead, he suppressed his inner joy, pretended to think about it, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I will bet this time. Ms. Rowling, 25 million dollars is fine."
Kerry opened his eyes wide, showing an incredible expression, and shouted to Xiao Yunhai: "Xiao, you are crazy, you dare to do this kind of business."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Kerry, I think the Harry Potter series may be popular all over the world."
Kerry looked like a madman, and said: "For a possibility that is so small that it is almost impossible, you are willing to spend 25 million dollars. I really don't know what to say to you."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "This is a gamble. It is my vision. If I win, I will get wealth far more than 25 million U.S. dollars. If I lose, it doesn't matter. The money comes to me. Say, it’s nothing."
Kerry said: "You are a gambler. As a brother, I can only wish you luck."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Thank you. Ms. Rowling, I want to remind you that if you really sell me the copyright of Harry Potter for 25 million U.S. dollars, wait for this book to become popular in the future. Earned 250 billion, I'm afraid you won't get a penny in it."
Rowling nodded and said: "Of course I understand. Mr. Xiao, 25 million dollars is a huge sum of money for me and my children, enough to bring us an enviable life. Mr. Xiao , Are you really planning to use so much money to buy my novel?"
Actually, a Harry Potter sold for five million dollars, but Rowling just said casually, and didn't really want to sell that much.
In her heart, if the five Harry Potter can sell for 10 million, it would be very good.
It was never expected that Xiao Yunhai would not even pay the price, so he readily agreed. This made Rowling feel like she was in a dream.
Xiao Yunhai also knew very well that if she deliberately lowered the price, Rowling, who was at the bottom of society, would definitely agree.
However, Xiao Yunhai is not the kind of profit-seeking person. It is a huge advantage to get five Harry Potter for 25 million US dollars.
If Xiao Yunhai continued to keep the price down under such circumstances, his conscience would be overwhelmed.
Therefore, Xiao Yunhai only agreed.
"Ms. Rowling, if you still don't believe it, we can sign a contract now, and a check for 25 million dollars will be delivered to you immediately."
Rowling said happily: "If so, that would be great."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Kerry, your company should have a lawyer? Let him help draw up a contract."
Kerry looked at Xiao Yunhai and said, "I take back the saying that you are an excellent businessman. Also, in my company in the future, please don't point fingers at me."
Although Kerry said so, he still went out to help Xiao Yunhai find a company lawyer.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yunhai and Rowling signed the agreement, and then Xiao Yunhai borrowed a check for 25 million from Kerry and handed it to Rowling.
Sun Keke local knot surgery and cold place cold too
Rowling took the check, shook hands with Xiao Yunhai, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, you solved my urgent need."
Sun Keke’s local knot technique and Lengsuo Lengtai Keli said: "You are a gambler. As a brother, I can only wish you good luck."
Xiao Yunhai said implicitly: "You are welcome. Maybe I will thank you in the future."
Rowling smiled and said, "That would be great. Mr. Xiao, Mr. Kerry, I need to go home to take care of the children, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
After Rowling left, Kerry said, "Xiao, are you so optimistic about this novel? Really, I haven't seen it for three days and I haven't seen its goodness?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "This is the difference between our writer and yours. Kerry, help me find a publishing house. I want to promote Harry Potter well."
Kerry thought for a while and said, "There is a Crown Publishing House in Hollywood, which is very famous in the United States. The owner of the publishing house is a good friend of mine, named Jesse Bryan. His father just passed away last month and now The publishing house is in charge of him."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That's great. In this way, you can ask him out for me tonight. I ask you to have fun."
"." Kerry snapped his fingers and said, "You are ready to be slaughtered by us."
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yunhai and Kerry walked into a French restaurant together.
Kerry’s friend Jesse Bryan has already been here.
After seeing the two, Brian greeted him and said, "Kerry, it's been a long time."
Kerry hugged him, and smiled: "I'm sorry, we are late. Let me introduce you, this is Yunhai Xiao, the Chinese star, Xiao, this is Brian."
The two shook hands, and Brian said, "It's nice to meet you."
Xiao Yunhai said politely: "I am also very happy to meet you."
After the three of them were seated, Kerry ordered the most famous foie gras, caviar, sandwiches and red wine.
In less than ten minutes, the waiter brought things up, and Kerry raised his glass and said, "Cheers to our friendship."
"Cheers."
After drinking a glass of wine, Brian looked at Xiao Yunhai and said, "Xiao, listen to Kerry said that you want to publish a book."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Yes. It's called Harry Potter, and there are five in total. I think it's very good, and it has the potential to spread all over the world."
Brian smiled and said, "Xiao, it seems you are very confident in this book. I don't know which publishing method you choose? Out-of-pocket, share or buyout?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "I want to publish at my own expense. However, before publishing, I need you to promote it for me."
Brian said: "Our publishing house has the best publicity channels, divided into three different price codes: 5 million US dollars, 10 million US dollars, and 30 million US dollars. Which one do you want to choose?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Of course it is the best."
Bryan showed a smile on his face and said, "It looks like this is a big deal. Xiao, your choice is absolutely correct. The $30 million publicity campaign is very powerful and will cover the whole country. At that time, the Internet, TV, The magazine will have us in Harry Potter. But are you sure it can get good results?"
Xiao Yunhai confidently said, "Of course. We will print five million copies first, and then print them when we sell out."
Kerry, who had just taken a sip of red wine, almost didn't spray the red wine when he heard Xiao Yunhai's words.
He pointed to Xiao Yunhai and said, "Xiao, are you kidding? Five million copies? Oh my god, this is crazy. I dare say that even those best-selling writers may not be able to sell five million copies. "
Study to learn from the enemy's lonely enemy
Brian also persuaded: "Xiao, I think we should print 500,000 copies first, which is safer."
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "I spent 30 million U.S. dollars on publicity. If only 500,000 copies were printed, would I have to spend so much effort?"
Brian said: "But this is the best way to avoid risks. In case you can't sell, five million copies, won't they all fall into your own hands?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "I firmly believe that Harry Potter will succeed."
"Xiao, you are such a crazy guy." Brian shook his head and sighed, "Well, the customer is God, I will do my best to meet your requirements. What do you need for paper?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "Use the best quality."
Brian said: "Xiao, I want to tell you that if you use the best quality paper, 5 million copies will cost you at least 60 million US dollars."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Money is not a problem, it's better to sell more expensive."
Like previous lives, America attaches great importance to intellectual property protection, so copyrighted things are very expensive.
Like Harry Potter's first "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the length is not too long. According to the American market, it can sell for at least thirty dollars.
If he can sell five million copies, and if he eliminates the cost of printing the novel and the royalties he needs to pay, Xiao Yunhai can make a net profit of at least 60 million U.S. dollars.
Of course, this does not count the publicity fee and Rowling’s copyright fee.
Fighting with hatred and hatred alone
Kerry patted his forehead and said, "Xiao, I think I'm already a prodigal, but compared to you, I found myself a good boy. In just two hours, 100 million dollars You are really good after the water drift."
The next morning, Xiao Yunhai brought a lawyer to the Crown Publishing House.
Xiao Yunhai said: "Kerry, I firmly believe that the Harry Potter series will sell well."
Kerry said: "You have said this sentence no less than ten times, I hope it can be as you wish."
After discussing the printing and publishing of "Harry Potter" with Brian, the three had a lovely meal.
Kerry ate four pieces of foie gras and drank more than a bottle of good red wine in order to repay his grudge last time~ EbookFREE.me~ and his face flushed.
After eating, Xiao Yunhai went to checkout.
Sun Ke is far from the enemy
Sun Ke was so alone that he hated the sun and pointed the enemy. Xiao Yunhai left the restaurant with Brian, who had been squeezing a smile.
Kerry danced with his hands when he learned that he had to pay thirty-three thousand dollars.
Xiao Yunhai paid the money without changing his face, patted Kerry on the shoulder, and said, "Kerry, can we attend a little bit? Thirty thousand dollars made you into this virtue. It really shame you MGM. ."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yunhai left the restaurant with Brian, who had been smiling and smiling.
Kerry hurried to catch up and shouted: "Xiao, I will kill you."
The next morning, Xiao Yunhai brought a lawyer to the Crown Publishing House.
I found Brian and had a more detailed discussion on the related issues of the Harry Potter series, and finally signed a cooperation agreement.
Hou Qiu Ke's feud, after investigation, take cold test of ghosts and ghosts
Xiao Yunhai handed the electronic version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" to Brian, saying: "This is our first novel and the beginning of our cooperation. Brian, the following propaganda work depends on you. That's it."
Brian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiao. I promise that in the next half month, the name Harry Potter will resound throughout the United States."
