I Just Want to Copy Books in Peace

Walking into Yan Yingzhen's office, Fan Yuhong thought to himself, the office of the richest woman is just like this, it's not beyond my imagination.

"Sit whatever you want, Brother Fan. What would you like to drink?"

"Hey, don't bother you, I drank water before I came."

Yan Yingzhen smiled, "There are all kinds of drinks, mineral water, and wine. But I won't drink with you. I'll have other meetings later. Don't expect me to make tea for you!"

If Hou Wu Jiu was here, he must be very jealous, because he invited Yan Yingzhen to drink a cup of coffee worth more than 400 yuan, but Yan Yingzhen did not show him such a smile.

Fan Yuhong smiled embarrassingly, still somewhat restrained. "Mineral water is fine."

He still can't figure out why this woman asked him to meet in the office.

When he received a notice, a woman who claimed to be Yan Yingzhen's assistant said that Yuanguang Group planned to invest in his Blue Bird Music, and he thought he had encountered a liar.

But thinking about what Du Caige said to him a few days ago, he had a glimmer of hope.

It's just... If you want to invest in Jade Bird Music, then the management of the two sides will sit down and talk, why call him over alone?

Yan Yingzhen came to the wine cabinet, bent over to open the freezer, took out a bottle of mineral water, and threw it to Fan Yuhong.

Fan Yuhong caught it in a hurry.

This mineral water brand he knows, is imported, and costs more than 80 yuan a bottle.

For ordinary people, this price already belongs to the category of luxury goods.

However, for Yan Yingzhen's assets of this level... it seems that it is really not much different from boiled water.

He unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip, but he didn't think it was any good.

"Mr. Yan, I didn't know you called me today, but..."

Yan Yingzhen smiled: "I plan to invest in your Jade Bird Music - not Yuanguang Group, but me personally. It's not surprising to talk to your legal representative first, right?"

She walked to the sofa opposite Fan Yuhong and sat down, with a straight waist and a broad and straight chest, which was very visually striking.

Fan Yuhong didn't dare to look at it any more, and withdrew his gaze: "Then you shouldn't have a private conversation with me."

"Let's be honest," Yan Yingzhen still smiled, "I asked Du Caige what requirements he had, and he said he didn't have any requirements. I asked again and again, and he said that he wanted me to help with Jade Bird Music, saying that Jade Bird Music would definitely become part of the music software in the future. The giant."

"For me now, investing tens of millions, hundreds of millions, is a trivial matter. I'm happy to spend a little money to make him happy... Ah no, it's just that he begged me in a very sincere and low-profile manner, so I Satisfy him a little."

Fan Yuhong lowered his head and tried his best to hold back his laughter.

Yan Yingzhen also closed her mouth, and after a while she said helplessly, "Laugh out loud if you want to. What are you pretending to be in front of me!"

Fan Yuhong raised his head and said solemnly, "I didn't want to laugh, I was thinking seriously, so what are your plans for investing in Jade Bird Music?"

"Let's not talk about this," Yan Yingzhen got up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked out, "Why do you bet all your fortune on Jade Bird Music?"

Because of the distance, her voice seemed very small, but since the office was well soundproofed and there was no interference from outside noise, Fan Yuhong could still hear it clearly.

After thinking about it, he said, "Actually, this platform was made by my son."

Yan Yingzhen turned around abruptly and stared at him closely. "I remember your twins went to college?"

Fan Yuhong coughed lightly and continued: "Well, junior year. My son has always been interested in computers and the Internet. It was his first attempt to build a music platform. I wanted to help him as much as possible, but I didn't expect it. , the Internet would be so hard to do.”

Yan Yingzhen smiled: "Many people think that I was lucky to create such a big foundation."

Fan Yuhong was deeply touched: "That's impossible, I understand, the Internet is not that simple."

Yan Yingzhen said with a smile: "I'm really lucky, and I don't deny it. The company has gone through several major crises several times, and they have all gone through it safely. It does take a bit of luck.

But those who think they are lucky can come and try the water. The internet is so deep, I'm afraid they'll be submerged before they can pop a bubble. "

"That's the truth."

Yan Yingzhen's words changed, "From your perspective, you should have seen that there was a problem with Blue Bird Music earlier, why didn't you stop the loss in time? As far as I know, you have several opportunities to withdraw."

The handsome son, the expression on his face is anger: Why don't you believe me, Dad? If you don't believe me, who in the world will believe me!

Fan Yuhong subconsciously reached into his pocket to touch the cigarette. Just touched it, and retracted it like an electric shock.

He sneered: "People are always confused sometimes."

Yan Yingzhen didn't go too deep. She turned and looked out the window again: "If I invest in Jade Bird Music, it's definitely not just for fun. I want to hold more than 51% of the shares, and I will send someone to manage it. The future path of Jade Bird Music may not be what you and your son envisioned before. Direction. Can you accept it?"

Fan Yuhong bowed his head deeply: "Sorry, if that's the case, I can't accept this condition, sorry for wasting your time."

Yan Yingzhen didn't look surprised, she still smiled: "Is it unacceptable that I own 51% of the shares, or is it the latter?"

"the latter."

"That's contradictory," Yan Yingzhen said. "If I own 51% of the shares and become a controlling shareholder, can't I join in the business?"

"I... think so," Fan Yuhong said. "This is my son's dream. I can't give up the Blue Bird Music completely."

Yan Yingzhen said gently, "It's impossible for me to not get involved in the business at all, but I can reach a gentleman's agreement with you, I will send someone, only to serve as a deputy, to make suggestions, and to exercise veto power on my behalf. I promise not to. Don't abuse the veto. You see, does that work?"

Fan Yuhong coughed violently again. He quickly raised the mineral water bottle and took a breath.

"How is your health? Are you alright? I heard you have a disease, but the details are unclear."

Fan Yuhong shook his head, smiled, and answered after a while, "It's lung cancer."

"Ah... how is the situation now?"

"Fortunately, it was discovered early and is now under control. The 5-year expected survival rate exceeds 80%."

Yan Yingzhen breathed a sigh of relief, "Did you tell him?"

Fan Yuhong knew who she was talking about. "No," he shook his head, "what are you talking about. Men, you can't let good brothers worry about themselves."

After a pause, he said, "I agree to all your conditions."

Yan Yingzhen smiled: "I knew you would agree. Let's make an appointment to discuss the specific terms. I wish us a happy cooperation!" She walked over from the window and held out her hand.

Fan Yuhong shook hands with her. "Happy cooperation!"

The expression on Yan Yingzhen's face changed. "Last question. He..."

She raised her head and looked deeply into Fan Yuhong's eyes: "Did he really love me back then?"

...

The representative from Xinya Publishing House was not an old acquaintance of the original owner, but he knew Du Caige's general identity, and he still respected Du Caige very much. Interesting.

The negotiation process went very smoothly.

In fact, we have already talked about it, and Creation Chinese.com and Xinya Publishing House have always had business contacts. It can be said that they are important partners and are familiar with these processes.

The final agreement was that the royalties would be 14%, the full set would be published in a collection, the first print would be 220,000 sets, 200,000 sets would be paperbacks, and 20,000 would be hardcovers.

Du Caige was worried that the number of prints would be too high, but Shi Kejian and the one from Xinya Publishing House were full of confidence, saying that there would be no problem in selling out 220,000 copies within a year, and they would definitely have to reprint them in the future.

Shi Kejian also gave him an example. Last year, there was a classic Xianxia novel, which had an average order of 110,000 on the Creation Chinese website, and then published 100,000 copies in the first print, which sold out in three weeks.

Du Caige's "Zhu Xian" is of higher quality, and the text style is more suitable for physical publishing. Now the average order has been 160,000, and 220,000 copies will definitely not be a problem.

The whole set is tentatively set to be 5 volumes, about 300,000 words a volume. As for the pricing, that is the matter of the publishing house, Du Caige just collects the money.

Since Zhu Xian has actually been completed, and according to Du Caige's current serialization speed, it will not be long before it ends.

Here, Xinya Publishing House and Chuangshi Chinese Network have also reached an agreement. The last 100,000 words of "Zhu Xian" will not be updated on the website for the time being, which is more conducive to the sales of physical books. On this point, Du Caige also agreed, and he just wanted to revise the ending of "Zhu Xian".

The ending of "Zhu Xian" has always been criticized. Many minor characters have ended too hastily. Du Caige intends to revise these parts.

Delaying the completion of this book will of course be a loss for the Genesis Chinese website.

However, since Du Caige himself is the majority shareholder of Genesis Chinese.com, this loss has to be eaten.

At the same time, Xinya Publishing House also reached an agreement with Du Caige, that is, the priority of the physical publishing of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

For this priority, the price paid by Xinya Publishing House is to promise to pay Du Caige's royalties in the shortest account period.

Du Caige signed by the way, and asked Genesis Chinese Network to discuss the copyright of the audiobooks of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Zhu Xian" on his behalf.

It is estimated that audiobooks will also cooperate with another subsidiary of Zhizhen Culture.

If he was just an ordinary author, of course he would not authorize it so confidently.

But since he is also a shareholder of Chuangshi, there is nothing to worry about.

After talking, we all went to eat together.

Lu Xudong drank a little high at the dinner table, and shouted that he wanted to take Du Caige to the health care to find the most beautiful girl and fulfill a dream back then.

The representative of Sprout Publishing House smiled and said nothing. I wonder if he was very agitated in his heart?

Shi Kejian almost covered Lu Xudong's mouth.

Do you know what this has to do with our big boss behind the scenes?

You do not know?

Actually I don't know either.

But this kind of thing that obviously died after trying it, don't drag me into the water...

The big health care didn't go to completion, Du Caige has no interest in this aspect at all.
