Chapter 148: Does He Really Love Me?
Walking into Yan Yingzhen's office, Fan Yuhong thought to himself, the office of the richest woman is nothing more than that, it is not beyond my imagination.
"Sit casually, Brother Fan. Want to drink something?"
"Eh, 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'm not going to drink with you, I'll have other meetings later. Don't expect me to make you tea!"
If Hou Wuzhen was here, he must be very jealous, because he invited Yan Yingzhen to drink a cup of coffee of more than 400 yuan, but Yan Yingzhen did not show such a smile to him.
Fan Yuhong smiled wryly, still a little reserved. "Mineral water was good. ”
He still couldn't figure out why this woman had asked him to meet him in the office.
When he received the 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 met a scammer.
But thinking about what Du Caige said to him a few days ago, he kindled a glimmer of hope again.
It's just that...... If you want to invest in Jade Bird Music, then the management of the two sides will sit down and talk, why do you call him alone?
Yan Yingzhen came to the wine cabinet, bent down to open the freezer and took out a bottle of mineral water, and threw it to Fan Yuhong.
Fan Yuhong hurriedly caught it.
He knows this mineral water brand, it is imported, and it costs more than 80 yuan a bottle.
For ordinary people, this price already belongs to the category of luxury.
However, for an asset of Yan Yingzhen's level...... It really doesn't seem to be much different from plain water.
He unscrewed the cap and took a sip, but he didn't think it was any better.
"Mr. Yan, I don't know if I was called today, ......"
Yan Yingzhen smiled: "I plan to invest in your Blue Bird Music - not the investment of Yuanguang Group, but my personal investment." Let's talk to you, the legal representative, first, there's nothing strange, right?"
She walked to the sofa opposite Fan Yuhong and sat down, with a straight waist and a broad and straight mind that was very visually impactful.
Fan Yuhong didn't dare to look at it more, and retracted his gaze: "Then you shouldn't talk to me in private." ”
"Let's be honest," Yan Yingzhen still smiled, "I asked Du Caige what he wanted, and he said he didn't ask for anything. I asked again and again, and he said that he wanted me to help Jade Bird Music, saying that Jade Bird Music would definitely become a giant in music software in the future. ”
"For me now, investing tens of millions, billions, is a trivial matter. I'd love to spend a little money to make him happy...... Ah no, it's just that he begged me very sincerely and in a low profile, so I satisfied 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: "If you want to laugh, laugh out loud." What else to pretend to be in front of me!"
Fan Yuhong raised his head and said, "I don't want to laugh, I'm thinking seriously, so what are your plans for investing in Jade Bird Music?"
"Let's not talk about this for now," Yan Yingzhen got up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked out, "Why do you want to bet all your net worth on Bluebird Music?"
Because of the distance, her voice seemed very small, but because this office was very soundproofed and there was no noise from outside, Fan Yuhong could still hear it more clearly.
After thinking about it, he said, "Actually, this platform was made by my son. ”
Yan Ying turned around and stared at him closely. "I remember your twins going to college, right?"
Fan Yuhong coughed lightly twice and continued, "Well, junior." My son has always been interested in computers and the Internet. It is an attempt by him to be a music platform. I wanted to help him as much as I could, but I didn't expect the Internet to be so difficult. ”
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 smiled: "I am indeed very lucky, I don't deny this. The company has been through several major crises and has survived them, which does require a bit of luck. But those who think they are lucky can try the waters. The Internet is so deep that I'm afraid they'll drown before they even spit out a bubble. ”
"That's the truth. ”
Yan Yingzhen's words changed, "With your eyes, you should have seen that there was a problem with Blue Bird Music, why didn't you stop the loss in time?" As far as I know, you have several opportunities to withdraw." ”
The expression on the face of the handsome son was anger: Why don't you believe me, Dad? If you don't believe me, who else in the world will believe me!
Fan Yuhong subconsciously put his hand in his pocket and touched the cigarette. I just touched it, and I took it back like an electric shock.
He sneered, "There are always times when people are confused. ”
Yan Yingzhen didn't delve into it either. She turned to look out the window again: "If I invest in Bluebird Music, it's definitely not just fun." I want to own more than 51% of the shares, and I will send someone to manage it, and the future path of Bluebird Music may not be the direction that you and your son envisioned before. Can you accept it?"
Fan Yuhong lowered his head deeply: "I'm sorry, if that's the case, I can't accept this condition, I'm sorry to delay your time." ”
Yan Yingzhen didn't look surprised, but still smiled: "Is it unacceptable for me to hold 51% of the shares, or is it the latter?"
"The latter. ”
"Then it's a contradiction," Yan Yingzhen said, "if I have a 51% stake and form a controlling stake, can't I still interfere in the operation?"
"I ...... That's what I think," Fan Yuhong said, "This is my son's dream, and I can't completely hand over Blue Bird Music." ”
Yan Yingzhen said gently, "It's impossible for me not to meddle in the business at all, but I can reach a gentleman's agreement with you, and I will send someone to serve as a deputy only, and I can make suggestions, and I can exercise the veto power on my behalf." I pledge that the veto will not be abused. You see, is that okay?"
Fan Yuhong coughed violently again. He quickly lifted the bottle of mineral water and took a breath.
"How are you doing? Are you alright? I've heard that you have some kind of illness, but I don't know the specifics. ”
Fan Yuhong shook his head, smiled, and replied after a while: "It's lung cancer." ”
"Ah...... What's going on now?"
"Fortunately, I found it early, and now it's under control. The 5-year expected survival rate is over 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?" Man, you can't let your good brother worry about himself. ”
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 talk about the specific terms. I wish us a happy cooperation!" she walked over from the window and held out her hand.
Fan Yuhong shook her hand. "Happy working together!"
Yan Yingzhen's face changed. "One last question. He ......"
She raised her head and looked deeply into Fan Yuhong's eyes: "Back then, did he really love me?"
......
The representative from Xinya Publishing House was not an old acquaintance of the original owner, but he also knew Du Caige's approximate identity, and he still respected Du Caige very much, and also conveyed greetings to a large number of people who Du Caige didn't know. It's interesting.
The negotiation process went very smoothly.
In fact, it was almost discussed, and Genesis Chinese and New Sprout Publishing have always had business dealings, which can be said to be important partners, and they are familiar with these processes.
In the end, the agreement was that the royalty was 14%, and the complete set was published in a collective with a first printing of 220,000 copies, 200,000 copies in paperback and 20,000 in hardcover.
Du Caige was worried that the number of first prints would be high, but Shi Kejian and the sprout publishing house were full of confidence, saying that it would be no problem for 220,000 copies to be sold out within a year, and they would definitely have to be reprinted in the future.
Shi Kejian also gave him an example, last year there was a classical Xianxia, the average order on the creation Chinese website was 110,000, and then the first printing of 100,000 copies was published, and it was sold out in 3 weeks.
Du Caige's "Zhu Xian" is of higher quality, and the text style is more suitable for physical publishing, and now the average order has reached 160,000, and 220,000 sets is definitely not a problem.
The full set is tentatively set to be 5 volumes, almost 300,000 words per volume. As for pricing, that's the publisher's business, and Du Caige only collects money.
Since Zhu Xian has actually been completed, and according to Du Caige's current serialization speed, it won't take long to end.
Here, New Sprout Publishing House and Genesis Chinese Network have also reached an agreement, and the last 100,000 words of "Immortal" will not be updated on the website for the time being, which is more conducive to the sales of physical books. Regarding this point, Du Caige also agreed, he just wanted to revise the ending of "Zhu Xian".
The ending of "Zhu Xian" has always been criticized, and the endings of many minor characters are too hasty, and Du Caige intends to revise these parts.
Postponing the completion of the book, of course, the Genesis Chinese Network suffers.
However, since Du Caige itself is the major shareholder of the Genesis Chinese Network, this loss has to be eaten.
At the same time, Sprout Publishing House also reached an agreement with Du Caige, that is, the priority of the physical publication of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
For this priority, the price paid by Sprout Publishing was a promise to pay Du Caige's royalty income in the shortest possible account period.
Du Caige signed by the way, and asked the Genesis Chinese Network to talk about the audiobook copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Curse Immortal" on his behalf.
It is estimated that audiobooks will also cooperate with another subsidiary of Zhizhen Culture.
If he were just an ordinary author, of course, he would not be so relieved to authorize.
But since he is also a shareholder of Genesis, there is nothing to worry about.
After talking, everyone went to dinner together.
Lu Xudong drank a little high at the dinner table, and shouted that he wanted to take Du Caige to the big health care to find the most beautiful girl and realize a dream back then.
The representative of the New Sprout Publishing House smiled silently, wondering if he was very disturbed in his heart?
Shi Kejian almost covered Lu Xudong's mouth.
Do you know what this relationship is with our big boss behind the scenes?
You don't know?
Actually, I don't know.
But this kind of thing that obviously tries and dies, you don't drag me into the water......
The big health care has not been completed, and Du Caige has no interest in this aspect at all.
