Chapter 67 Split Contract
Zhang Yu saw Tang Jun's unhappy face, and knew that the other party must have made himself a little angry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He didn't care, and said with a smile: "This variable is that if I continue to write wonderful works that are equivalent to Xiao Aojiang, then the buyout period of this decade and the estimate of the final sales scale of 500,000 copies will not be valid." So three million to buy out my smile! I won't agree. ā
Tang Jun and Liu Jingchen looked at each other when they heard this, and then turned to confirm Zhang Yu's confident expression again, and raised their middle fingers at the same time in their hearts. What do you kid think?
The odds of you whimsically writing a succession of equally wonderful works are lower than walking in Tiananmen Square and stepping on an American-style landmine.
Tang Jun pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhang, it's not that I want to hit your self-confidence. As for your statement that you can write two novels of the same grade in a row, I am skeptical. Personally, in the literary publishing world, although I dare not say that I am Taishan Beidou, I have been immersed in it for many years. It's not that this kind of thing you are talking about, but it is very rare, so rare that the possibility is almost negligible. Rather than putting unwarranted confidence into the next book, Mr. Zhang tried to sell the book at a high price, which I think is the right choice. ā
Zhang Yu said: "Hey, Editor-in-Chief Tang, you can say that I am arrogant or arrogant! I've already done it in my heart for the next work, so I don't have this confidence. ā
Tang Jun and Liu Jingchen glanced at each other first, and then said, "What does Mr. Zhang mean that you already have the next work in your hand?"
Zhang Yu showed an unfathomable face, smiled, shook his head, and said, "No! ā
When the two of them heard this, they almost didn't fall to the ground, and immediately glanced at Zhang Yu. scolded in my heart, only the outline is a fart, and I also said that I have an idea to sell it for 100 million. Boy!
Tang Jun wants to say that he is a little waxy at this time, just now he thought that although this Zhang Yu is young, he is steady, and the contract should be easier to negotiate. But now this Zhang Yu has become arrogant in a blink of an eye, and there is a bit of a talk in and out of his words, what can I do?
The atmosphere around was a little awkward! No one spoke.
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "I think so! Let's not talk about any buyout agreement." Let's talk about a sharing agreement! I'm more interested in a sharing agreement than a buyout. ā
When Tang Jun heard this, he was helpless, since the other party had no intention of buying out, he could only talk about it now. said: "Since Mr. Zhang has no intention of selling the copyright of Xiaoao Jianghu. Then we will have to negotiate a sharing agreement. Now let me talk about the details of the sharing agreement.
In general, as long as the author agrees, we can choose to pay 55% without any clauses. This means that all kinds of taxes are removed from the books sold, and the remaining net profits are divided in half.
However, in the sharing agreement, we also have to divide the risks arising from the sale in half.
Because the sharing agreement is actually a kind of cooperation agreement with equal rights between the two parties, the company is only responsible for the trivial matters of publishing and distributing and arranging a batch of second-batch sellers.
As for the quality of the work and the degree of audience to which it is marketed, that falls within the rights of the author. Because the interests and rights of both parties are equal, the company has no way to bear this part of the risk for the other party. After the book is put on the market, it makes sense that the author should bear the same distribution risk in the event that it is not sold well.
However, Mr. Zhang does not need to worry too much, in the distribution stage of the work, all expenses are paid by the company in advance, and only after the occurrence of unsalable, Mr. Zhang will bear the other half. If there is no unsalable, then the cost of issuance will be deducted from the gross profit from sales.
Of course, this kind of contract will also be clear, for example, if your book is launched on the market, the book sells well, and even reaches a certain scale, the company will also adjust your share ratio, but the maximum share ratio can be raised to about six layers.
But in the end, I still have to persuade Mr. Zhang to think carefully, if your Xiaoao Jianghu only sells 200,000 sets after it is put on the market, then the final net profit will only be about 1.8 million yuan. You and the company will each share 50 percent, and you will get 900,000 yuan. Converted into the number of words, it is only 900 yuan per thousand words. Than three yuan per word, there can be a big difference. So think about it!"
After Tang Jun finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yu, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, afraid that this kid would say nothing! That would be really difficult to do.
Zhang Yu thought about it and felt that at the moment, this was already the biggest profit he could get. Although his work is a first-class work, after all, he is not a super-first-class author at the moment, no matter what the situation is, it depends on the specific facts, and he can't open his mouth widely, I don't know if the sky is high or not.
Zhang Yu thought about it for a long time, nodded, and said: "I think it's a sharing agreement! I prefer to share, it's my own choice to earn more and earn less, and I will never complain to you." ā
Tang Jun was completely relaxed when he heard this, although he didn't talk about buying out in the end, just dividing it, but it was better than talking about collapse.
Tang Jun took out a copy of the contract terms that had been prepared in the company a long time ago from the document bag, handed it to Zhang Yu, and said, "Mr. Zhang, take a look, this is the contract terms and conditions of our company, which contains a detailed explanation of everything about the sharing of sales. ā
Zhang Yu took the document handed over by Tang Jun, but did not open it, and said: "I won't read it here! I'll take it back and read it, you know I still have classes in the afternoon." If it's convenient, it's best if we meet here again after 10 p.m. to settle the rest of the contract. ā
Tang Jun nodded, he couldn't help it, who made the high school students, the time was tight. She and Liu Jingchen are only afraid that they will stay in Zhonghai City for a day.
A few of them made an appointment to meet in the evening, and they separated again.
On the way back to school, Zhang Yu had already read the contract briefly in the taxi, except for some small details, the contract was quite decent, and there were not many traps.
Zhang Yu returned to school in the afternoon, and as soon as he started class, he was sleepy again, and he slept all afternoon, and after dinner, he insisted in a daze until the end of the evening self-study.
When Zhang Yu left school, he took a taxi back to Haitian Business Hotel again.
Tang Jun and Liu Jingchen had been waiting here for a long time, and the three of them sat down and discussed the details of the contract in detail.
After all, Zhang Yu now has a considerable legal basis, so he naturally pointed out some ambiguous parts of the rights and interests of both parties in the contract and asked for amendment. You must know that this move can surprise Tang and Liu, after all, the company has been operating for many years and is already quite mature. But in this way, the other party can also find out the key to the problem, is the other party really from studying law?
To say that Zhang Yu is a college student, this is possible. But he's just a high school student, so where did he get such a good knowledge of law? Could it be that his parents were both lawyers?
Tang Jun and Liu Jingchen had a lot of suspicions in their hearts, but they didn't have much time to think about it at the moment, so they had to call their company's legal counsel to ask whether Zhang Yu's request could be modified. You must know that although the two people often sign contracts, it is only when there is no dispute between the two parties. If there is a dispute between the two parties, some necessary times still need the company's professional legal counsel remote assistance.
Zhang Yu and Vertex Novel's legal counsel had a heated discussion on some details on the phone, and finally finalized the terms of the contract.
