Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

When a writer submits any work, he will not hand over all the manuscripts to the publisher before signing a contract. If the other party acts rogue, it will be too late to cry. Although Spielberg knew it, Cava-Serf didn't dare to do it. You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others; no one knows the color of the other person's heart, so you must take precautions before they happen.

Bao Zixuan trusted him and entrusted him with the responsibility of the work. If nothing is agreed upon, the publisher will publish it directly; Spielberg does not dare to take any chances on how to explain it to Mr. Bao. Bao Shaofu may not care about financial losses. But there are bound to be doubts about his ability and credibility.

There is nothing wrong with having a super rich person doubt your financial strength. After all, no one is rich. But if people doubt your credibility, it means losing opportunities. As the world's richest man, he will definitely not continue to cooperate with someone who has no credibility. Once the road is blocked, it will be extremely difficult to continue walking.

After reading the novel, Kava Cerf said excitedly: "Although I don't want to admit it, this book will definitely be a hit, and the sales volume is unimaginable. And the first time I found you, could it be that you were preparing to make a movie. I don't know the author. If you have any request, as long as it is not too excessive, Random House will accommodate it.”

In fact, the relationship between the two is one aspect, and the most important thing is that they both understand each other. If you don't show the utmost sincerity, it is estimated that the other party will never buy it. Who is Spielberg? He will not be easily deceived. Therefore, it is better to skip the bargaining step.

Kawa Cerf felt at this time that if he hesitated a little bit, the other party would find someone else. As for the quality of the novel, I’m really not too worried at the moment. I’ve already read 50,000 words, and the writing is still guaranteed. Based on his professional judgment, the author's overall level is very high; I believe that the subsequent content should not be bad.

After all, I have read 50,000 words, but I haven’t found any faults at all. If this doesn't explain the problem, it can only be said that it was not written by the same person. And given Spielberg's status as a celebrity, he really doesn't bother to cheat himself.

Spielberg said with a smile: "I did not write this book. The author's plan is bigger than you imagine. It is because of our relationship that I came up with Random House."

I heard that the author's plan was larger than imagined, and combined with why it is a small island in Fucaira; after all, the natural environment there is not suitable for building a dinosaur hatching base. In addition, Spielberg has just returned from the Persian Gulf, so it is self-evident who the author is.

At this time, Kava Cerf no longer knows what to say. If the guess is correct, it will be too shocking!

Everyone is smart, and you can tell by looking at their expressions that the other person has guessed. Spielberg did not hide anything and said directly: "The author of this book is indeed Mr. Bao Zixuan, the chairman of Heiyun Group. As for his relationship with Fucaira, I believe you know it, so I won't say too much here. introduce."

"This time we went to Fucaira mainly because after the treasures of Solomon's Temple were excavated, we wanted to take this opportunity to film Raiders of the Lost Ark 3 there. But we didn't expect that Bao Zixuan wanted to develop Fucaira. Tourism industry, so we are preparing to build different tourism facilities on each of the small islands in the Persian Gulf."

"I don't know why, maybe it's the world of super geniuses, we can't figure it out. They actually thought of building a dinosaur-themed park in Fucaira, also known as Jurassic Park. But if you want to increase your popularity, you must do it in the early stage. I had to do something. Hence this book.

"Not only will the book be published, but the movie will also be shot. I think you know what this means. After all, Bao Zixuan has never written a book before. It was more of a thesis form before, and ordinary people can't understand it at all. That kind of thing.”

"It goes without saying how exciting this novel is, as well as the rationality of the design and the compactness of the story. Although it has been fully authorized to me, and Bao Zixuan doesn't care about a small amount of money at all. But in the spirit of responsibility, but also for the sake of We must get things done when we cooperate in the future.”

Bao Zixuan’s reputation in the United States is hard to describe. It seems that President Reagan does not have such a high reputation. Now I have written such a wonderful novel, and it has nothing to do with machinery or aviation. I really don’t know how to describe it other than as a super genius.

It is so legendary that outsiders don’t know how to evaluate it; to be precise, they are not qualified to evaluate it at all.

Cava-Seff said very seriously: "We are old friends. In the past, the fee paid to the most famous writers was 25%; now I can give 35%. If it is higher, there is really no profit."

To be honest, this share is absolutely beyond imagination; even the most famous writers cannot get this amount. But everything has exceptions, and Bao Zixuan must not be treated like an ordinary writer.

Besides, they don’t need that little money at all. Kava Cerf mainly wants to gain popularity and make good friends with the other party.

The pricing of books is basically calculated based on the number of words, the author’s reputation, and the degree of excitement. The price difference is not big, at least it should be acceptable to readers. The price is too high and it is not conducive to book sales.

Excluding a series of expenses such as printing, promotion, listing, dealer sharing, etc.; under normal circumstances, a writer can only receive a dozen points of royalties. 25% are definitely the top writers in the industry, and they can only enjoy the treatment if they work hard. Now it is directly giving out 35%, which means that Random House does not want to make much money from this book, which is definitely considered sincere!

It may be possible for Bao Zixuan to make more money, but Spielberg knows that making money by writing books is definitely not the real purpose of Bao Zixuan. Because people can research a product casually, not to mention changing the time, but at least they can make a lot of money. Therefore, I am not short of money, and I don’t care about the royalties at all.

If Random House doesn't do its best to promote books because its profits are too small, then it's definitely not what Bao Zixuan wants.

Spielberg said with a smile: "There is no need to do that, 20%; I think Mr. Bao Zixuan should be able to accept this price. Although he is a super rich man and a top engineer in the world. After all, he belongs to the category of new writers and should not break the Industry rules.”

"Mr. Bao can give up some profits, but Random House will not let people down. Therefore, we must make great efforts in promotion. And Mr. Bao Zixuan's main purpose is the Jurassic Park tourism project. I think you should understand what that means." .”

Spielberg also has a selfish motive, which is to prepare for film promotion. The more books you sell, the more famous you become. If the influence becomes greater, then after the movie is released, the number of people watching it will naturally increase accordingly.

The number of people who want to come to watch the movie has increased; the box office has increased invisibly. But the words must be said beautifully and not make people feel. That is his problem.

As for royalties, Bao Shoufang himself doesn't particularly care. As long as the books can reach the hands of readers, that is the result he wants. The core purpose is to increase the popularity of Fucaira, but other things can be put aside.

I heard that I only needed 20% royalties, and my attitude was very firm. It seems that Bao Zixuan did give Spielberg absolute authorization, otherwise the other party would not dare to make the decision directly.

Of course, I also understand what the other party means. This is because I am worried that Random House will not pay attention to promotion. Before, I was only thinking about leaving a good impression on Bao Zixuan, but I forgot about this problem.

We are all businessmen, there is no need to help for free without making money. The whole world knows that Bao Zixuan pays attention to fairness in doing business, and is the kind of child sister-in-law who does not bully; she attaches great importance to business reputation.

If Random House makes an exception because of his works, it will also cause serious damage to its own image! If the public knew that as the world's richest man, he makes money by squeezing his partners. So what will the world think about this issue, and what will other partners think.

At the same time, the price of books is too high, which will also have some impact on the box office of movies. Fewer people are buying it, and probably fewer people are watching the movie. Why can't I understand such a superficial truth?

It seems that you are really flattering the horse's leg, which is no different from shooting yourself in the foot. If Bao Zixuan asked, Spielberg would not be able to explain. After all, I had been offered a 35% royalty share before, but I refused directly. Could it be that there is no money to be made, or there is something fishy about it.

Cava-Seff said apologetically: "I didn't think well, so I will do as you say. Random House will definitely use the best paper for printing, and will also use all promotion channels; it will definitely make Jurassic Park popular." All over the world!”
