18 Negotiation II

"One veto?" Zou Wenhuai frowned when he heard this, a veto is not to hold 51% of the shares, under normal circumstances, 33.4% of the equity has such a right, with such a right, it has a very large influence in the general board of directors, and in most public listed companies, basically only the chairman has this right.

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said: "It's impossible to have a veto, a snake can't have a head, but a two-headed snake generally won't have a good result, since it is a regular operating company, Xu Sheng, it's better for you to concentrate on writing a good novel." ”

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "It's okay if you don't have a veto, but it's better to say some things clearly now, until the company's funds are not exhausted, the newspaper is not allowed to accept financing, and there are large investments that must be agreed by both of us." If a third-party agency is introduced, I will also have the right of veto. ”

Zou Wenhuai said: "You are no different from a veto?"

Xu Zhidao: "Zou Sheng can say that I am the heart of a villain, but in terms of capital, I can't compare to Zou Sheng, if there are no these restrictions, I'm afraid that an ordinary financing can dilute my shares, this is just self-protection!"

Zou Wenhuai said: "Okay, in addition to financing, other business aspects must be decided by me, and I can also use my own funds and loans for large investments, and I will also discuss with Xu Sheng in this regard." ”

If you really want to find a way to dilute the shares, there are actually many other ways, but Zou Wenhuai has already reached this point, and it is not easy to investigate it in detail, Xu Zhi can only nod and say: "Okay, no problem." ”

Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "Then the first question is over, and the second is that Xu Sheng wants me to invest 3 million, accounting for 70% of the shares, so if Xu Sheng's novel is worth 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars, I don't know how many words this novel has, but I have never heard of any novel that can be so valuable!"

Xu Zhidao: "It's almost a million points! It is indeed very expensive to calculate a thousand words and a thousand yuan, but Zou Sheng wants to think like this, Kim Yong Kim's first novel in Ming Pao was proud of the rivers and lakes, but Ming Pao ranked among the top five in Hong Kong in terms of sales for two consecutive years, with sales as high as 50,000 copies, even if a newspaper earns a dime, it is more than one million a year, not to mention advertising revenue, and the countless customers collected are the foundation of the entire newspaper. ”

Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "That's also the credit of the business, the manuscript fee of the novel is marketable."

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "When Zou Sheng invited Bruce Lee, the actor's salary was also fixed, if it wasn't for breaking the convention, I'm afraid there would be no Golden Harvest today, Zou Sheng has capital, I have a good novel, wouldn't it be perfect to cooperate with each other!"

Besides, it doesn't matter if I take advantage of it, the important thing is that Zou Sheng wants to see from his own point of view whether the deal is cost-effective, and the investment of 3 million Hong Kong dollars in exchange for a newspaper with good sales, even if it is only from an economic point of view, it will not lose money. ”

Zou Wenhuai nodded and said, "It makes sense, it is indeed possible according to what you said, but the premise of all this is that the quality of your novel is comparable to that of Kim Yong Kim, what can you guarantee it?"

Xu Zhidao: "There is no guarantee, if this kind of thing is not published in the book, no one will know the result, and I will not believe it if I think about it." But what kind of business in this world is not risky? If Mr. Zou made the right bet, then he could get a newspaper with excellent sales, and if he lost, he would not lose much, so Mr. Zou would have opened a newspaper on his own, and all newspapers except Ming Pao started from scratch in this way. Besides, my last novel did well, and now this one is a continuation of the previous story, and with this, I can also absorb a lot of popularity, and the storyline is even more exciting. ”

Zou Wenhuai asked: "Is it a sequel to iron-blooded Tianjiao?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "It can't be said to be a sequel, the correct way to say it is that the iron-blooded Tianjiao is just a prequel to Kunlun." ”

After speaking, Xu Zhi took out a manuscript from his bag and said: "Here is the first 100,000 words, Mr. Zou can read it before drawing conclusions!"

Zou Wenhuai looked at the manuscript on the table, and didn't open it to read, but shook his head and smiled: "People are old, and it is more difficult to read novels, so it is not as good as you young people, so it is more comfortable to watch movies!"

Xu Zhidao: "If Mr. Zou is not interested in this proposal, then maybe Sir Shao Yifu will have a different idea. ”

Zou Wenhuai nodded and said: "Maybe, but the 100,000-word novel looks too tiring, Xu Sheng should tell me to listen to it, I just need to listen to the plot!"

"The bad old man is really good at playing tricks!" Xu Zhi complained in his heart, if the other party was willing to read his book, the home field would be on his side in a short time, but now let himself tell it, even if the original author himself comes, I am afraid it will be difficult to talk very well in a short time.

After thinking about it, he said: "Zou Sheng's time is precious, I will describe it in a few words, Liang Wenjing was killed, his son began to wander the rivers and lakes, and entered a hidden sect, but he couldn't learn any martial arts, and then the story behind it is a clichΓ©." ”

The more you talk, the more difficult it is to talk about the excitement, and almost words are the best way to describe it.

Zou Wenhuai smiled after hearing this: "Is this a routine of Yitian?"

Xu Zhidao: "It's almost, the routines are like this, but the plot story is completely different, Zhang Wuji is too weak, he hasn't avenged any of the revenge, and he has sacrificed too much for the so-called righteousness." ”

Zou Wenhuai smiled and said, "What's the matter? Your novel ignores the righteousness for the sake of revenge?"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "What is righteousness? In my opinion, unless the novel affects the life and death of the people in the world, nothing is really righteousness." Decent demons are not good people, and the conflict between them has nothing to do with righteousness! Moreover, the so-called righteousness and demons are just in their respective positions.

Wanyan Honglie is a bad person in the Condor Shooting, but he is a prince, but for a pity and weakness who ignores him, he has never married, and he has no flesh and blood of his own, and he treats Yang Kang as his own, but Guo Jing and others will only stand on the righteousness and let Yang Kang kill his father, this kind of behavior, not from the perspective of we are all Han people, who does Mr. Zou think is right and who is wrong?"

Zou Wenhuai pondered for a moment and said: "It's a bit reasonable, I never thought about it that way, but Yang Kang should still be more vicious, and Guo Jing and the others didn't do anything wrong." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Of course, Guo Jing is always right, but Yang Kang's viciousness is just his way of doing things, the eldest husband is unscrupulous, if he succeeds, he is a hero, and if he fails, he is a traitor." If Yang Kang uses various means to deal with Jin Ren, I'm afraid that many people think he is very powerful. ”

Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "I can't talk about Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng's ideas are indeed different from ordinary people, I can decide the affairs of the newspaper, I give Xu Sheng two choices, I will pay 3 million, take 80% of the shares, or 2 million 75%. ”

After listening to this, Xu Zhi immediately calculated in his heart, if he chose the former, his novel would be valued at 750,000, while the latter would be almost 660,000.

Xu Zhi took a sip of the coffee that was about to cool down, and said: "3 million, 75%, this is the minimum requirement, if Zou Sheng doesn't agree, forget it!"

Zou Wenhuai thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but I want the film and TV adaptation rights of this novel." ”

Xu Zhi asked: "The movie is easy to understand, Zou Sheng wants the right to adapt the TV series, does he want to make a TV series?"

Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "Since I can make a newspaper, of course I can also make a TV series, although I don't have a TV station, but I can find Li's or Jiayi's cooperation, again, you can also do it over there." ”

Xu Zhidao: "I can authorize the adaptation rights of TV movies for 5 years, and return them to me after 5 years, but Golden Harvest still has priority." ”

Zou Wenhuai nodded and said: "Okay, yes, I will ask the lawyer to write an agreement for specific details, Xu Sheng has a lot of knowledge, but it is best to hire a professional lawyer, since everyone is sincerely cooperating, then all the legal details should be clear at the beginning, otherwise it will be difficult to clean up the contradictions in the future." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, I will find a lawyer, but I have one more thing!"
