American TV Series: Starting with Sheldon’s Wool Collection

“Half percent profit is too low~”

After hearing the share ratio given by James, Mike shook his head and looked at Little Sheldon aside.

The folder that the other party is holding in his arms is the newspaper information that was rearranged based on the opinions of three people, including Mike and Peggy.

It records various information such as the newspaper's financial status in recent years and the newspaper's budgeted costs for publishing newspapers.

Seeing Mike's eyes coming over, little Sheldon knew that it was time for him to show off.

He straightened his little bow tie, stood up and came to the manager's desk. He said like a young adult: "First of all, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sheldon Lee Cooper, and I only represent my client." Person Mike, makes the following statement…”

Having said this, Little Sheldon glanced at James behind the desk, then opened the folder in his hand, and continued: "According to the information we collected, the newspaper company's various expenses such as material costs and labor costs for publishing newspapers , less than 20% of the newspaper’s profits.”

"The following is the specific profit data of newspapers in recent years..."

Manager James, who originally thought it was just a kid playing around, looked more and more solemn as he listened to the data reported by Little Sheldon.

You must know that as a newspaper department manager, he may not know as much about the newspaper's total funds as Little Sheldon does.

Likewise, with his professional vision, he had to admit that the information collected by Mike and others was very comprehensive and accurate.

This situation is tantamount to someone having figured out the newspaper's trump card.

Little Sheldon at the desk also enjoys the feeling of being in control of the overall situation.

After analyzing the newspaper's profit data, he seemed to have completed a major task, with an arrogant look on his face unconsciously, and finally concluded: "Therefore, based on the newspaper's profit, we can know the poster's Publishing can also get 80% of the net profit. Based on this situation, I think it is most fair for Mike and the newspaper to each get 40% of the profit."

The production cost of posters is not high, the most important thing is distribution channels.

And newspapers happen to have the advantage in this area.

"No, no, no~ you underestimated the labor cost..." Manager James was a little excited after being exposed. He looked at Mike, who was there, and said: "10% net profit, this is what I can make The biggest concession. You don’t have to do anything, and you will receive an income of nearly 10,000 yuan..."

The process seemed to have reached the negotiation stage. Little Sheldon knew that he was not good at this, so he closed the folder and sat back on the sofa silently.

Ten thousand yuan is not a small amount for any high school student.

Obviously, Manager James was anxious and wanted to use large monetary figures to paralyze Mike.

But his idea was obviously going to fail.

Mike, who has made a few small profits in the stock market, is not an ordinary high school student. Although ten thousand yuan was not a small number to him, it was not enough to surprise him.

"10% profit is still too little. I can make more money than this by distributing posters myself." Today is different from the past. Mike, who has gained some fame from newspaper distribution, can definitely use this wave of fame to make money himself.

The difference may be that the process is a little more troublesome.

Therefore, Mike, who had a way out, seemed confident in the negotiations.

Don't forget, the newspaper company took away the poster business from Jack. At worst, Mike could still go back and cooperate with the other party.

This situation is completely a seller's market.

Manager James, who thought he had a powerful weapon in the newspaper distribution channel, saw Mike's calm expression and realized that he had shot himself in the foot.

The "Star Making Project" is like making a wedding dress for others.

"Twenty percent profit, no more."

Poster distribution is an opportunity for newspapers to make extra money. In order not to lose this opportunity, Manager James could only reluctantly give up more profits.

20% profit is equivalent to 20,000 yuan.

The Cooper family, who had just entered a middle-class family, had a look of surprise on their faces when they heard this kind of profit.

They were happy that Mike had made money.

"Twenty percent? Still not enough~" Faced with the manager's pained expression, Mike shook his head again indifferently.

The 20% profit obviously still did not meet his expectations.

Shopping malls are like battlefields...

Not satisfied with seeing Mike, Manager James's little eyes flashed with a fierce look, as if he wanted to eat someone.

However, considering that his fat body could not suppress Mike and his group, the manager forcibly regained his senses.

Then, after pondering for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "The 2.5 share is the newspaper's final bottom line. Of course, if you want to get this share, Melford's next opponent must be Texas' No. One’s Houston High School.”

As a businessman, James's head turned quickly, and he thought of making the cake bigger.

Just after the Super Bowl, Zhou TV Station will broadcast every invitational game of the first team in the league for the sake of ratings.

In this case, if Melford can play a televised invitational game with Houston High School, no matter what the result is, Mike's popularity will be further expanded.

In this way, the market for poster distribution will also grow.

"Houston High School?" As the head coach of the Melford football team, George certainly wanted to compete with the top-ranked team in the state.

Hearing the manager's request, he couldn't help but burst out in surprise.

"Yes, if we can reach an agreement, the newspaper will also play a role in the back this time and try its best to promote the game between you and Houston High School..." Manager James said seductively.

He seemed to see George's love for football, so he wanted to start from this point and regain the initiative.

"This..." Coach George was indeed very moved, and he looked at Mike eagerly.

After all, whether this cooperation can be achieved mainly depends on Mike's wishes.

Just a game with Houston High School, how could it be so easy to achieve.

As far as Mike knows, the opponents in the Houston High School Invitational Tournament are usually the top-ranked teams in other major states.

This kind of team that is number one in the state will often prefer strong teams from other states, which will have a greater chance of expanding the team's influence to other states.

Facing Coach George's expectant gaze, Mike shook his head slightly. Then he looked at Manager James and said: "I can only say that we will try our best to apply for the Houston High School Invitational Tournament quota. And I don't care about the newspaper's portrait fee. However, I want 30% of the profit sharing ratio for the poster distribution. "

"This is my final opinion. If the newspaper does not agree, then there is no need to discuss this cooperation."

As Manager James said, if a department like a newspaper office wants to operate, it needs to be humane and sophisticated.

Getting stuck one after another will consume a lot of additional funds.

Under such circumstances, it is simply unrealistic for Mike to equally share the profits from poster distribution with the newspaper.

However, labor consumption is considered an internal matter of the newspaper company, so although Mike is willing to make concessions for this, the profit ratio of 30% is also his bottom line.

This time, the problem was thrown back to the newspaper.

The more Mike takes, the people at the newspaper will get a smaller share of the money.

However, the share ratio given by Mike was very subtle. The newspaper company could still take advantage, but not much.

Seeing Mike's attitude that it was a big deal, Manager James had no choice but to take a step back and said: "Your requirements are too strict, but if you are willing to continue to hand over the poster distribution in the second half of the year to the newspaper, I can't. Agree to your request..."

Negotiation is a process of mutual compromise.

Like reporter Jack, manager James chose to put his money on Mike's future.

It can be predicted that after Frank, the star player of Houston High School, graduates in the second half of the year, the next star of Texas is likely to be Mike.

With all the auras he possesses at this time, the profits he can produce will only be higher.

Manager James, who already knew that he couldn't handle Mike, could be regarded as forming a good relationship with him in advance.

Sure enough, anyone who can sit in the position of newspaper manager will definitely not be mediocre.

However, Mike is not at a disadvantage if he can cooperate with a newspaper company with huge distribution channels.

So, he looked at Manager James and said with a smile: "Then, I wish us a happy cooperation~"

At this point, the cooperation plan between the two parties has been basically reached.
