Chapter 804: negotiation

Jessie picked up the photo and looked at it seriously. The more she looked at it, the more frowned her brows became.
Xiao Yunhai said: "When their four major publishing houses released the first "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", they secretly did this kind of shameful deeds. Later, when they saw that things could not be done, they gave up. Although they did it secretly, the financial staff I sent from time to time saw the clues from the sales report. This time, I found a private investigator to secretly stare at them for me, and that was the result."
After reading the information, Jesse looked very serious and asked, "How much did they hide?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "At least ten million copies."
Jesse took a breath and said in shock, "They are too cruel, they are simply crazy."
Xiao Yunhai said: "If it is 1.8 million copies, I don't care. Every industry has its own unspoken rules, as long as it is not excessive, just open one eye and close one eye. Fish. But it’s too blatant to secretly print more than 10 million copies and put them on the market."
Jesse nodded and said, "According to the price they set, the sales of 10 million copies can make a profit of 150 million U.S. dollars. This is already a very big crime. However, Xiao, I hope you are the best. They can be private. They can become world-class publishing houses, and the energy behind them is very large. If you directly disclose these things to the public, the loss of the four major publishing houses will be unprecedented. In this way, I am worried that they will treat you unfavorable."
Xiao Yunhai said: "I understand what you mean. To be honest, I don't want to completely enmity them. But since they have done such a thing, no matter what, I have to ask for justice. No matter how much they eat, I must Spit it out twice. Otherwise, they really think that Xiao Yunhai is really bullying."
Jesse said embarrassedly, "Xiao, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have introduced them to you."
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said with a smile: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Jessie, you can ask them for me. I want to have a good talk with them. If the talk is not successful, then I will only see the court."
Jesse nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call them right away."
In front of Xiao Yunhai, Jesse called the four major European publishing houses and asked them to come to Los Angeles tomorrow to discuss matters related to the "Harry Potter" series of novels.
After the call, Jesse asked, "Xiao, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Yunhai sneered and said: "They have to pay for their greed. In addition to vomiting out what they eat, I also have to make each of them pay me 200 million US dollars in sealing fees."
When Jesse heard this, he laughed and said, "You guys are worse than them. However, I believe they will pay you 200 million dollars honestly, otherwise, their losses will be even greater."
At ten o'clock the next morning, Xiao Yunhai came to the conference room of Crown Publishing House.
This time, the people who came to negotiate were Xiao Yunhai’s old acquaintances, Cole from Macmillan Publishing Company in the United Kingdom, Louise from France's Seyi Publishing House, Darren from Mondadori Publishing House in Italy, and Bertelsmann from Germany. Ge Lin of Publishing Group.
Xiao Yunhai calmly shook hands with the four of them. Jesse asked the staff to serve them each a cup of coffee and said, "I am glad that the four of you can come to my Crown Publishing House. This time it was Mr. Xiao's proposal. I called everyone here. If you have anything, you can talk about it."
Cole took a sip of his coffee and said, "Mr. Xiao, congratulations on the global sales of 130 million copies of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. This is the best result in ten years."
Xiao Yunhai said playfully, "Mr. Cole, did you make a mistake? It should be more than 140 million copies."
Xiao Yunhai knew that it would be a waste of time to lie to these guys, so he went up and started the matter.
Cole's face changed, his pupils shrank slightly, and he said, "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean by this? Why don't I understand?"
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "You are so happy to cooperate with Leisi Bookstore and Fantasy Bookstore, how can you not understand."
The four of them glanced at each other, and they felt that things seemed a little bad.
Darren said: "Less Bookstore and Fantasy Bookstore are the two largest chain bookstores in Europe, of course we have to cooperate with them."
Xiao Yunhai sneered and said, "Cooperating to cheat me together?"
Darren frowned, and forced a smile: "Why? Mr. Xiao can really make a joke?"
Xiao Yunhai's eyes were like swords, and he looked at Darren and said, "I never make a joke."
Xiao Yunhai threw the copied materials on the table and said coldly: "You can take a look at these things, I think you should be very interested."
The four picked up the information one after another and looked at it.
As time passed by, the four of them felt that life was a bit like years, and the hands holding the photos were trembling slightly, and cold sweat came out of their faces. In the end, all faces are as earthy.
Cole put down the information first, helped his glasses, and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Xiao, what do you want?"
Seeing everything that could kill him, Cole no longer had any thoughts of arguing. At the same time, he deeply understood an idiom of China, that man is a knife and I am a fish.
Xiao Yunhai said: "First of all, we must correct all the mistakes, and we must not miss a copy. Second, each publishing house needs to pay me 200 million US dollars for the closing fee."
When Louis heard this, he stood up and said: "Mr. Xiao, your request is too much. Two hundred million dollars, my God, even if it is a court verdict, it will never be so high."
Xiao Yunhai said: "If that's the case, then let's meet in court."
Cole said quickly: "Mr. Xiao, don't get me wrong, Louis didn't mean that."
Xiao Yunhai said coldly: "I don't care what you mean. I just hope you can understand one thing, that is, the two conditions just now are not to be discussed with you, but my ultimatum. If you can't be the Lord, you You can call and ask someone who has done the master."
Darren snapped the case and said angrily: "Is Mr. Xiao trying to kill with us? Let me tell you, the advantages of our four major publishing houses are not so easy to take advantage of."
Xiao Yunhai smiled directly and said, "Are you threatening me?"
Darren sneered: "So what?"
Xiao Yunhai stood up, his eyes were sharp as swords, and his body exuded a powerful aura. "Mr. Darren, it's not that I look down on you. I'm afraid you can't afford it if you want to play black with me. Do you believe me? As long as I call, not only will you not be able to go back, but even your family will follow you to see God~EbookFREE.me~ Darren angrily said: "Are you scaring us? "
"Scare?" Xiao Yunhai snorted and said with a sneer: "Yes, I just frightened you. Several people, sorry, I have something else, let's talk about it today. Before two o'clock in the afternoon, if I can't see eight A cash check of 100 million dollars, then everyone can only see it in court."
After speaking, Xiao Yunhai walked outside the door.
Seeing that he was about to leave the conference room, Xiao Yunhai stopped suddenly and said, "Everyone, I am already merciful. I can buy these things for only 200 million US dollars. I think it is still very worthwhile."
After Xiao Yunhai left, Jesse saw something was wrong and hurried out.
