Time Travel: 2014

9:30 minutes.

Lin Hui, who had just finished breakfast, received a call from Huang Jing.

Huang Jing claimed on the phone that their group had arrived in Beiyu City.

And settled in Beiyu International Hotel.

Huang Jing only called Lin Hui yesterday afternoon to express her intention to come to Beiyu City, and they came here this morning.

Lin Hui guessed that they should have arrived by plane overnight. After all, it was still a long way from Shanghai to the North Territory.

Even if he came by plane, he probably had to change planes in the imperial capital before he could get here so quickly.

Although Huang Jing did not disclose the number of people in their party on the phone.

But Lin Hui estimated that there should be at least 6 people.

Follow the normal contract signing process.

Camera assistants and legal assistants are definitely indispensable.

Record-writers and financial staff are also indispensable when it comes to important contracts involving huge amounts of money.

Huang Jing also told Lin Hui before that the person with a higher level should discuss the exclusive content of the exclusive agreement with Lin Hui.

So in Huang Jing's group, in addition to taking care of the legal affairs, assisting in writing and recording finances, there should be a leader who is not at a low level.

It seems reasonable for a boss with a relatively low level to have an assistant.

However, Lin Hui felt that even a boss who was not too low in level would not be at the level of a big boss.

If he was really a big boss, why would he condescend to come to Beiyu City?

It might be possible in the next few years.

But it is now 2014, and neither Microsoft nor Apple pays enough attention to the Chinese market.

…

As for the number of people and personnel at Apple, Lin Hui's estimate was pretty good.

Lin Hui arrived at the conference room on the 23rd floor of Beiyu International Hotel around 10 o'clock.

A total of 8 people from Apple's group came.

What Lin Hui didn't expect was that all eight people in Apple's group were women.

Well, that’s outrageous. As expected of a big company, it’s a bit difficult for some unicorn Internet companies to recruit 8 women.

Among the eight people, Lin Hui knew Huang Jing and He Yuhui.

Of course, the so-called acquaintance is just that we have dealt with him before.

Needless to say, Huang Jing had contacted Lin Hui on the phone many times.

He Yuhui had previously collaborated with Lin Hui on audio and video software.

However, Huang Jing and He Yuhui were not present during the formal negotiation.

This should be due to some avoidance rules.

Big companies have a lot of weird rules.

Even if you are facing 6 strangers, it doesn't matter.

You must know that just more than 20 days ago, Lin Hui was working in a large Internet company.

Dealing with these people is not unfamiliar to Lin Hui.

Although some of the scenes before the formal negotiation are complicated, the actual negotiation is not very troublesome.

It’s just an exclusive agreement for a game like “FLAPPY BIRD” on the Apple platform.

It wasn't anything too complicated, and the two parties reached an agreement quickly.

Apple will have exclusive access to the game "FLAPPY BIRD" for 6 months from the date the contract is reached, and the contract amount is US$1.5 million.

As for the contract amount of US$1.5 million, it is not too outrageous.

Lin Hui remembers that the DLC of "FLAPPY BIRD" alone brought Apple more than 4 million US dollars in revenue.

After reaching an exclusivity agreement, Apple is not allowed to remove the game "FLAPPY BIRD" without any reason within these six months.

And it is necessary to give a better recommendation for this game during holidays as appropriate.

If Lin Hui continues to update the DLC, the profits will be divided between Lin Hui and the App Store at a ratio of 85%:15%.

During Apple’s exclusivity period, Apple will organize a legal team to respond to some infringements involving other platforms...

As for the details of the contract, it goes without saying.

Lin Hui has drafted similar contracts many times before.

With a 14-year contract, it’s a bit difficult to frustrate a 21-year-old who has received numerous legal trainings.

All in all, everything went smoothly.

Although it was signed by China, judging from the contractual relationship, this is obviously a global agreement.

In other words, when it comes to income in a short period of time, there is no need to consider paying taxes.

As for what to do about paying taxes in the future, the worst possible outcome is to hire more tax collectors.

In short, it is impossible to evade taxes, and it is impossible to evade taxes in this life.

Not long after the contract was concluded, the first batch of US$250,000 was received (the balance on the 0010 card also became US$29.65 million).

Having reached this exclusive agreement, the negotiations are not over yet.

Apple also asked Lin Hui if he planned to sign a letter of intent involving future cooperation.

Even though it's just a letter of intent

But the attitude of Apple's negotiators towards this letter of intent is very formal.

Lin Hui vaguely felt that this so-called letter of intent was the real purpose of these people from Apple.

Ask for some votes.
