Chapter 1946 - 1946 30 million dollars…
“Actually, the online readership is only so big.”
The person on the other end of the phone also let out a long sigh and said, “Although there are new readers joining in every single day, there are also old readers leaving, so the base of the online literature readership has never changed much in these few years of development.”
“In this case, the original should be toward the formal development of network literature, but the invasion of those capital, for the industry, these capital is no different from the real world cult, he fucking pull the fruits of other people’s labor pull to their own stalls, let people watch and enjoy for free, they are sucking the blood of those network authors ah! ”
Listening to the other side.
Zhang Xingjie’s heart was in the right place.
Indeed.
He was also completely unaware that the rights to a book could have such a wide impact.
It turned out that the network reading site that bid a hundred million dollars, is completely capital in the operation, of course, he knows, these capital in the business world is the existence of bloodsuckers, see what place there is interest, will try to do everything possible to rush up to suck on the last two mouths.
He, himself, hated these commercial capitals in particular.
But.
The existence of these capitals is something he can’t stop, and the only thing he can do is hate it.
“I know that in business, you need to provide for your family as well, I’m just not flat out telling you what I know, and I can’t sway you as far as your choices are concerned.”
The person on the other end of the line said, “I’ll wait for your choice.”
Zhang Xingjie was silent.
No doubt about it.
That’s a God-awful problem for anyone with a conscience.
This is equivalent to putting $50 million in cash in front of a person and asking him: Do you want $50 million or do you want your conscience?
I’m afraid.
Most people would choose money, right?
“I’d love to help you, but I’m sorry ……”
Zhang Xingjie was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, “I can’t be the master of this matter, because what our publishing house owns is only the exclusive production and distribution rights of the book ‘Undiseased Canon’, which means that there are only the physical losing copyrights, and the electronic copyrights are not available to us due to the fact that we didn’t dabble in it before.”
“Right now, the electronic rights to the Undiseased Canon are still in Fang Qiu’s hands, and I sympathize with and understand you in principle, but you still have to ask Fang Qiu about the granting of the electronic rights.”
Words.
The person on the other end of the line gave a bitter laugh.
Dare I say it? It’s as good as nothing.
“I don’t know, could I ask your help in questioning Fang Qiu and relaying to him everything I’ve said?”
The man on the other end of the line opened his mouth to inquire.
“Okay, I’ll ask him for you, and I’ll take some time to personally find out what you’re talking about, and if it’s true, I’ll be sure to pass it on to Fang Qiu for you.”
Zhang Xingjie said.
“Thanks.”
The man on the other end of the line nodded his thanks.
“Wait for my message.”
Zhang Xingjie nodded and hung up.
“The meeting is adjourned.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xingjie waved his hand and spoke to the people in the conference room, then immediately said, “You guys immediately help me to investigate what kind of status quo internet literature is now, and give me the results as soon as possible.”
The meeting is adjourned.
The executives of each department have returned to their own departments and started to investigate the situation of this piece of online literature.
It didn’t take long for the findings to come out.
The situation, exactly the same as what Zhang Xingjie had heard, what the man from Huaxia Chinese Network had said was basically true.
Get this result.
Zhang Xingjie didn’t dare to hesitate either.
Call Fang Qiu immediately.
“Hello?”
Fang Qiu, who was on his way to catch up on the road, saw that it was a call from Zhang Xingjie and immediately picked up.
“Fang Qiu, there’s something on my side that I need to tell you about.”
Zhang Xingjie opened his mouth and said, “Currently, because of the booming sales of your new book, there are several internet literature websites that have approached me in hopes of signing the electronic rights of the Undiseased Canon and putting the Undiseased Canon online for the convenience of those who are now accustomed to using computers and cell phones to read it.”
“I received two offers today, a 50 million dollar offer from Huaxia Chinese Network, and a 100 million dollar offer from Le Read, a subsidiary of Shiqi Chinese Network.”
“But, out of the offer, there’s something else mixed up in this.”
“Here’s the thing ……”
With Fang Qiu listening carefully, Zhang Xingjie told Fang Qiu everything he had heard about what was going on in internet literature, and also said some examples he had looked up on the internet.
It went on for what felt like ten minutes before the whole thing was finished.
“That’s the general idea.”
After saying that, Zhang Xingjie added, “Although we, Prosperous Culture Publishing House, signed a contract with you for the full copyright, we didn’t dabble in electronic copyrights before that, so the electronic copyrights are still in your hands, and this matter also needs to be decided by you personally.”
“Uh-huh.”
Fang Qiu nodded in understanding.
The original contract was signed for full copyright, with this contract the other party was completely free to manipulate his electronic copyright, but because he hadn’t dabbled in it before, he still chose to respect his own opinion, and from this point of view, Zhang Xingjie’s character was worthy of recognition.
“Since the full rights are with you, let’s add the electronic rights to the contract as well, all other terms remain the same, and as for that question you just mentioned.”
Fang Qiu thought about it and said, “The purpose of me writing this book is to benefit the people of China, not to make money, so I hope you can give the electronic rights to Huaxia Chinese Network, as for the price of signing the contract, fifty million dollars is too much, let’s make it thirty million dollars.”
The words came out.
Zhang Xingjie was instantly confused.
That’s 20 million dollars less.
The others themselves had asked for 50 million dollars, why did Fang Qiu even lower the price himself?
Clueless to clueless.
Zhang Xingjie also knew what Fang Qiu meant.
Since his “Undiseased Canon” was written to benefit mankind, how can it be reduced to a tool for the operation of market capital?
It is natural to utilize what is there for the benefit of others.
“Are you sure?”
Zhang Xingjie asked.
“OK.”
Fang Qiu nodded affirmatively and said, “This electronic copyright will be done as I said, and the rest will be done as you guys want, the full copyright is on your side anyway.”
“Good.”
Zhang Xingjie nodded in response, then hung up.
The moment he hung up the phone, Zhang Xingjie exhaled a long breath and smiled.
This result, he was happy with.
Although their publisher’s draw would be much reduced as a result, his heart lack was very admiring of Fang Qiu, and he was also very happy that Fang Qiu could make such a choice.
Money, to Zhang Xingjie, is really important.
However, it was precisely because he had also once suffered, so he could understand the other party’s state of mind and wanted to help him out.
Determine it.
Zhang Xingjie did not half hesitate, and immediately dialed Shiji Chinese Network with his cell phone, Hou Yicheng’s phone.
“Hello?”
The phone was quickly connected, and Hou Yicheng’s laughter came from the other end of the line, saying, “Mr. Zhang, have you made a decision?”
“There.”
Zhang Xingjie nodded and said, “We have decided that we will not accept your offer.”
Having said that.
Before the person on the other end of the phone questioned, it was incomparably dry and directly hung up the phone, and immediately afterward, the other party’s phone number to pull black.
He was afraid the other man would pester him.
Subsequently.
Zhang Xingjie dialed the phone number of Huaxia Chinese Network again and again.
“Hello?”
The call was answered and familiar words came from the other end.
“What’s your name and what position do you hold at Huaxia Chinese Network?”
Zhang Xingjie asked.
“My surname is Xu, my name is Xu Bing, I’m the deputy general manager of Huaxia Chinese Network.”
The man on the other end of the phone said.
“Hello, Mr. Xu.”
Zhang Xingjie nodded in understanding and said with a smile, “Congratulations, you can sign the contract, which is signed for thirty million dollars!”
“What?”
As soon as Xu Bing heard this, he asked with incomparable shock, “Thirty million dollars?”
“Right.”
Zhang Xingjie nodded his head affirmatively and said, “This is a decision made by Fang Qiu himself, and I will send someone to interface with you for all the procedures that follow.”
“Okay, okay, thank you, thank you, thank you Foncho.”
Shocked, Xu Bing thanked him.
……
Soon.
The news that Traditional Culture Publishing House and Huaxia Chinese Network signed the exclusive electronic rights of the Undiseased Canon spread in the online literature industry.
In fact, when they saw that the Undiseased Codex was such a hot topic on the Internet, all the big and small brands in the online literature industry wanted to buy the electronic rights of the Undiseased Codex.
But.
When everyone heard that the world up Chinese network opened a high price of 100 million, everyone will all stop, only the Chinese network dare to go to a fight.
In everyone’s opinion, Huaxia Chinese network is absolutely not compete with the world up Chinese network, because between the two, a full difference of 50 million!
But I didn’t expect that really grabbed it.
It’s just, like, so unexpected.
“The people of the Traditional Culture Publishing House are crazy, let go of a lot of money not to earn, but also take the initiative to lower the price to sign a contract with the Huaxia Chinese Network?”
Same time.
The executives of Prosperous Culture Publishing House, after hearing the news, all went crazy as well.
They had been ready to celebrate a big contract of one hundred million dollars for a long time, but it was only in the blink of an eye that a big contract of one hundred million dollars had turned into thirty million dollars?
In a flash, 70 million dollars is missing.
That’s $14 million less in publisher’s draw as a result!
What’s going on here?
One time.
The executives of the publishing house, ran to Zhang Xingjie’s office to ask what was going on.
Results.
Zhang Xingjie told everyone that it was Fang Qiu’s personal decision.
Hearing this, everyone was quite helpless.
No way.
Who let Fang Qiu have the final say?
Although the copyright was signed, the final decision was not in the hands of their publisher, but in the hands of Fang Qiu, and if it weren’t for this article, Fang Qiu wouldn’t have been able to sign with them so easily.
Without that, they wouldn’t be able to guarantee that their contract is the best in the country.
Soon.
Zhang Xingjie directly sent someone out to interface with Huaxia Chinese Network.
Because both parties are headquartered in Kyoto, the contract took only one day to get all done.
The day.
Prosperous Culture Publishing House made a simultaneous announcement on its official website and on Weibo.
“From today onwards, our society will cooperate with Huaxia , and grant the electronic copyright of the Undiseased Canon to Huaxia Zhongcheng in its entirety, so readers who like to read books on the Internet can go to Huaxia to read a lot!”
