Chapter 129 Copyright VS Betting
Chapter 129 Copyright Betting
Bad Country, New York.
Claire Wogan has just concluded final negotiations with Random House, reaching a mutually satisfactory outcome.
Random House will publish the English version of "Fifty Shades of Grey" on behalf of the publisher and will pay a 7% copyright fee.
The minimum copyright fee in the United States is 5% and the maximum is 10%, except for some famous authors who have dominated the best-selling list all year round, and they have additional bargaining rights.
Generally speaking, Random House's treatment for newcomers does not exceed 6%, which means that if a book is priced at $25, the author will receive $1.50 in royalties after it is sold.
Claire was able to obtain 7% favorable conditions for him, which is enough to prove her excellence and persuasiveness.
In addition, she also launched a bet with Random House.
The sales volume of "Fifty Shades of Grey" exceeded 500,000 copies, and the copyright fee that Li Zhenyu could receive increased by 1%.
If it reaches 5 million copies, the copyright fee will rise again by 1%. If it exceeds 10 million copies, Random House is willing to give him the highest treatment, 10% of the copyright fee.
Taking 10 million copies as an example, the revenue gap is as high as more than 7 million US dollars and 10 billion won.
As for whether this piece of cake is a mirage or whether it is really possible, it all depends on her next performance.
Facebook's financing meeting is imminent, and Li Zhenyu has to rush to make his debut in advance to get acquainted with many big shots.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, Mr. Dennis is not here for the time being. But I can contact him now and ask him to reply to you as soon as possible. Of course, you can also ask me to help you deal with some simple problems."
It would also be a good idea to give Pierce and David from the Department of Commerce a long vacation so they don't have to come here to conduct any boring investigations.
Don’t wait to attend a meeting and feel isolated like a loner.
"Boss, you have lived up to your trust. You should give me a salary increase." Claire, who passed the news to him, used a joking tone to test his attitude.
"After T-ara's debut stage is over, I'm going to fly to Taiwan, and I'll leave the company in charge of you."
It's a pity that his level is too low and he is not qualified enough to be taken seriously by the real big guys. 'This time, I can only take advantage of Lao Qiu.'
F-K, damn Xiao Xiba is so incompetent!
I believe that Lao Qiu will not miss such a good opportunity, he should always seek some benefits from them.
In this way, he can make at least tens of billions of dollars during this crisis.
As long as this crisis does not end, the market will provide him with a steady stream of subsequent returns.
In fact, it is more like the arrogance of newcomers who have unclear self-understanding, and the best terms are obtained under the premise of comprehensive factors.
That way, before the future is even seen, it has already become history.
In fact, due to various considerations, Li Zhenyu has shown extra restraint.
There is a high probability that the Chinese media will also go crazy and hype up the abominable story about a Korean American who ate bloody steamed buns during a crisis.
"That's not necessary. I will fly to a bad country in the near future, and a large amount of funds will be mobilized. Please help me prepare in advance and complete the necessary procedures as soon as possible."
Li Zhenyu throws out a piece of painted pie, and it's up to Claire to decide whether she wants to take the bait or not.
There was a strange woman's voice on the phone, "I'm looking for Dennis, he is my personal consultant."
After greeting Yin Huina in advance, Li Zhenyu contacted Zhao Yingjun and asked him to prepare for departure.
"Just kidding, I will help Shuanglong and BYD complete the docking as soon as possible..."
After reaching a cooperation agreement with the other party, the first thing both parties have to do is to establish a research institute and production plant in Yanguo to jointly develop new energy sources.
"Please wait a moment, I will check for you now."
Clyde's heart skipped a beat. If she could get U.L.I.T.'s official overseas legal consulting agency, she could ask to be transferred back to the headquarters.
"Dennis, I need to know how much money I have in my account, the detailed figures."
With the current situation of Shuanglong Motors, it cannot afford to take on more huge debts and purchase high-priced land to invest in the future.
"No, please ask him to reply to me as soon as possible." Li Zhenyu did not feel angry because of this. Everyone needs a rest, and Dennis is no exception.
But what followed was successive bombings from the Blue House, CIA, and IRS.
"Maybe it's really possible."
"Dear Mr. Li Zhenyu, I'm glad to receive your call again. How can I help you?"
"BOSS, I will take it seriously."
"Mr. Li, the current balance of your account is US$1.8356 billion. Do you need it to be accurate to single digits?"
The extra 1.3 billion is the follow-up income provided to him by the sub-prime mortgage crisis.
Letting Zhao Yingjun put his heart back in his stomach, Li Zhenyu hung up the phone and dialed Dennis Hall's number again.
Don't overestimate the moral bottom line of Wall Street jackals. When necessary, they can lower the bottom line to the point where the devil calls out: God!
"...Hey, Xiba!"
Instead of doing this, it is better to take the initiative to give up the interests that cannot be grasped and sell personal favors to all parties.
Cheap labor, cheap land, tilted funding and policies, all-round care for foreign investment, etc., are all realities.
As for why he chose Yan State, Li Zhenyu could list dozens of irrefutable reasons.
Li Zhenyu's account originally only had 850 million US dollars. He spent US$313 million to acquire 0.3% of Berkshire Hathaway's shares, leaving only 535 million US dollars.
And, in the same senior partner capacity as now.
Moreover, the location they chose is in the Pearl River Delta seaside area. What other places can compete with it? Can it compare?
"Brother, when you get to New York, you must try the Ocean Horse there, it's awesome!"
Opportunities are earned. If you seize them, they are opportunities. If you cannot seize them, don't blame them for slipping away.
"Don't worry about it. By the time it really decides to invest, it will be too late."
The next moment, Wells Fargo showed its professionalism as a banking giant. Dennis' call came back, and just one minute passed.
Finally, he will be invited to drink coffee, and even if Lao Qiu comes forward, he will have to shed a layer of his skin.
If he were to let his hands go completely, the $850 million in early profits would not be transferred to Wells Fargo, but would instead be invested in the market again.
This is Li Zhenyu's argument for giving up the advance payment of the first 200,000 copies, and Claire's argument is that the amount of the bet is relatively large...
"How about 10%? There is no law firm representing U.L.I.T.'s overseas business. Maybe we will consider Baker McKenzie."
"By the way, Hyundai also announced that it will consider establishing a parts factory in Yanguo to provide customers with faster, more efficient and full-service services."
"Okay, I will do it before tomorrow. I hope it won't cause any inconvenience to you."
"That's enough, thank you, Dennis."
"You are so kind. It is an honor for me and Fuguo to serve you. I wish you a wonderful evening."
"the same as you."
