Chapter 299: Negotiation
Seeing Lu Yang's ten fingers flying on the keyboard a few times, he entered the author's account and password, and entered the author's backstage smoothly, and the doubts in the hearts of Manager Wang and Sun Yafei had gone to ninety percent.
Lu Yang's speed of entering this account and password is too fast, absolute practice makes perfect, the two of them stared at each other's eyes, Lu Yang's hands did not block their vision, and when Lu Yang entered the account number and password, and pressed the enter key, the two of them were stunned and didn't see which letters he had just typed, and they didn't even see which letter was the first letter.
The word "Wen Chou" above the author's account, as well as the work management area, the familiar titles, especially the number of collectors behind the titles, have dispelled all the doubts in the hearts of the two.
When Lu Yang brought them up the outline, outline, and manuscript of "Magic Sword Eternal" he was writing, the two of them had already affirmed that this person was Wen Chou himself!
As a woman, Sun Yafei likes to look around and is more careful, and she suddenly noticed that there were large and large maps and portraits on the four walls of the small room, and even on the ceiling.
Surprised, he pointed to the maps and portraits and asked Lu Yang: "Mr. Lu, you have posted them on the walls and ceilings...... What are they?"
The light in the small room is not bright, and Lu Yang likes a dark environment no matter when he codes, so there are thick curtains on the windows, otherwise, Manager Wang and Sun Yafei are afraid that they will notice those maps and portraits as soon as they enter the door.
Hearing Sun Yafei's surprised tone, as well as the direction of his finger, Manager Wang took a closer look. I was also surprised.
Lu Yang: "Hehe, let the two of you laugh! I'm working on this book "Magic Sword Eternal", because I plan to write a long article. I was afraid that I would forget some of the settings in the early stage when I wrote it in the later stage, so before I opened the book, I found someone to help me draw these, and it cost more than 10,000 yuan!"
"Huh?"
Sun Yafei exclaimed, although Manager Wang didn't exclaim, he was also very surprised. He had heard of online novels before, and it seemed that no matter where he heard them, they were all negative comments such as garbage, fast food literature, running accounts, and superficiality. Before coming here, although he was determined to sign the game adaptation rights of this work, it was only because of work needs, and in fact, he didn't think much of this web novel in his heart.
But at this time. The thought shook in his mind.
The outline and outline of Lu Yang's work just now. He paid attention to the number of words displayed at the bottom of the document, the outline was more than 30,000 words, and the detailed outline was more than 120,000 words.
The number of words in the outline and outline alone is enough to publish a book, and now I suddenly found that in addition to the outline and outline, before the book started, I actually spent more than 10,000 yuan to find someone to draw maps and characters.
With such a well-prepared novel, is it really garbage text?
And that's not all. In order to be able to raise the price a little later when I negotiate. Lu Yang has published the bestseller list in Taiwan in recent months.
Seeing that "Magic Sword Eternal" has been ranked in the top three bestsellers for several months in a row, Manager Wang and Sun Yafei were completely shocked.
Starting point Chinese network monthly ticket list five consecutive tops, Taiwan's bestseller list, the top three for several months, the preparation of this book is so sufficient, Manager Wang finally understands why this author dares to shout out the full copyright operation plan on the Internet.
A novel has achieved this process, and both online and physical books have almost reached the limit, as the author of this book, why don't you dare to have a higher pursuit?
After being surprised, Manager Wang nodded, showed a smile, and said politely: "Mr. Lu has changed my opinion on online novels...... Let's go out and talk about cooperation?"
Sun Yafei: "Yes, since Mr. Lu has shown us so many things, presumably the game adaptation rights of this book should still be in your hands, right?"
Lu Yang smiled and said: "Of course! If I can cooperate successfully with your company, I will be very happy!
So, the three of them moved to the living room, and Lu Yang invited the two of them to sit down on the sofa next to the coffee table, while smiling and making three cups of tea.
After Lu Yang also sat down on the other sofa next to the coffee table, Manager Wang went directly to the topic and said: "Mr. Lu has several works under his name, but what we want to buy is the game adaptation rights of your "Magic Sword Eternal", but it seems that this book is far from finished, I don't know, will this have an impact on our adaptation?"
Sun Yafei was only listening to the side at this time, and did not interject for the time being.
Lu Yang smiled slightly when he heard this, shook his head slightly, and said, "No!" The two of you also saw it just now.,My outline and outline of this book are very perfect.,Even the maps of various scenes in the book.,And the characters are all designed.,Don't hide it from the two.,Before this book was written,,I intended to adapt it into an online game.,So the setting of the various cultivation systems in the book is also very perfect.,Even including the various treasures and magic weapons that will appear in the book.,All of them have been designed.,As for,This book is not finished yet.,I don't think it's a problem.,First,The development of an online game,It shouldn't be in a short period of time.,Can be developed.,Just the first two million words of my book.,It's probably enough for you to develop for more than a year. ,When you finish the development of the first two million words,My book is almost finished,Even if you haven't finished writing,The plot behind is enough for you to continue to develop for a period of time,In short,I can guarantee that the progress of your development will definitely not catch up with the progress of my writing;Second,I personally think that the longer my book is serialized,The more beneficial it is for your company,Because this can not only continue to increase the popularity of the book,Accumulate more potential users for this game,And,Not long after the end of my book,You just happened to release this game,The enthusiasm of fans who have read my book is the highest time,On the contrary,If the book is finished now,Wait a year or twoIt was even longer before the game came out, and many fans were not so enthusiastic at that time. What do you think?"
When Lu Yang finished saying this, Manager Wang and Sun Yafei glanced at each other, Manager Wang shook his head speechlessly, and sighed: "Who will tell me to write novels in the future." Eloquence is not good, so I'll let him talk to you!"
Sun Yafei also smiled: "Mr. Lu is too good to speak!"
Lu Yang smiled, usually he didn't talk much. That's because of his personality and likes to be quiet, but when this kind of negotiation, if you want to be silent is golden, it is stupid!
Manager Wang opened the briefcase he was carrying, took out two promised contracts from it, and put them on the coffee table. Pushed in front of Lu Yang, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu! This is the contract I prepared before I came, you can see it! The general content of the contract has been prepared." Only the copyright fee is empty, this, wait until you finish reading the contract, let's discuss it!"
Lu Yang nodded. Pick up the contract with a smile. Go through all the six pages of the contract in ten lines.
There is generally no problem with the content of the contract, if it weren't for the fact that he signed the adaptation right of the book, Manager Wang would not have come up with such a kind contract document for the first time.
When he put down the contract, Lu Yang smiled and asked, "How much copyright fee does your company plan to give me?"
Manager Wang: "How about 500,000 yuan? Mr. Lu! This price is okay, right?"
You can be your sister!
Lu Yang pursed his lips in his heart, smiled and shook his head.
Sun Yafei: "Mr. Lu, 500,000 yuan is not too little, right? Now 500,000 yuan, you can almost buy a house in Shanghai!"
Lu Yang: "I have heard a little about the cost of the game adaptation of "Zhu Xian" in Perfect World!"
When he decided to sell the game adaptation rights of "Magic Sword Eternal", Lu Yang spent the copyright fee of "Zhu Xian". Some people say that it is 1.5 million. It seems that after the game is released, there will be dividends.
Therefore, Manager Wang offered 500,000 yuan, but Lu Yang didn't accept him at all, just smiled and shook his head.
Manager Wang and Sun Yafei heard Lu Yang say that they had heard a little about the adaptation cost of "Zhu Xian", and they knew that they couldn't beat the idea of bullying Lu Yang who didn't know how to do it.
Manager Wang smiled without changing his face: "Okay! What about Mr. Lu, what about your psychological price?
Sun Yafei: "That's right, Mr. Lu! Talk about the price, talk about the price!"
Sun Yafei also learned that Manager Wang came over in a hurry this time to win the right to adapt a novel game by this author, although this made her unprepared, but this did not prevent her from helping Manager Wang in a timely manner.
Manager Wang and Sun Yafei both asked Lu Yang to make a price, but Lu Yang reminded them with a smile: "The price, don't worry, I think the two of you seem to be very hot! The four seasons are like spring here in K City, and the two of them are wearing so many clothes, or take off their coats first! You can see that both of them are sweating on their foreheads!"
Manager Wang and Sun Yafei were in too much of a hurry, they just put their luggage in the hotel, and their clothes were not reduced, so they hurried over, and at a glance, Lu Yang could see the anxiety in their hearts, and found out this, how could Lu Yang sell his copyright cheaply?
Manager Wang and Sun Yafei are both veterans in the negotiation field, and Lu Yang's sentence seems to care about whether the two of them are hot or not, but they have already pointed out their eagerness.
This point was discovered by the negotiation opponent, Manager Wang immediately regretted it, and Sun Yafei also glanced at his manager speechlessly, yes! This time the price is not to mention pressing down, I don't know how much the other party will offer!
With a wry smile, Manager Wang simply took off his coat, thought about it, and took off the woolen sweater inside, wearing only a shirt, and loosening the neckline tie with his hand, he had always envied the four seasons of K City in Y Province, and today for the first time hated this damn four seasons like spring, it will be cold in winter all over the country, what are you playing in this city all year rounds!
Picking up the teacup on the coffee table and taking a sip of tea, Manager Wang spread his hands and said helplessly: "Yes! I won't play with Mr. Lu anymore! 1 million! This is the upper limit set by the president himself, and I can't help it no matter how much it is! I hope that Mr. Lu can sign this copyright to us for the sake of our sincere attitude! Let's go back and pay the errand!"
Sun Yafei is a woman, it is not good to take off her clothes in front of two big men, endure the dryness and heat on her body, and help again: "1 million Mr. Lu! This price is not low, right? How many people can't earn so much money in their lifetime!"
I have to say that Manager Wang is indeed a competent manager of the copyright department, and at this time, he is still holding down the price, is the upper limit of 1 million that the president told him?
Lu Yang doesn't know if 1 million is the upper limit of the other party, but he will buy something, no matter what it is, it must be right to bargain in half first!
Buy something and cut it in half, sell it, then you have to double it up, Lu Yang smiled and stretched out two fingers.
Manager Wang: "One million and two million?" looked very surprised, shook his head again and again, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Lu! I told you the upper limit just now, and your offer is so high, we can't talk about it." ”
Sun Yafei: "Yes, Mr. Lu, 1 million is really our upper limit, no matter how high it is, our manager has no right to call the shots, if this price is reported, it may give up this copyright purchase." ”
Giving up the copyright purchase, this is putting psychological pressure on Lu Yang.
Lu Yang also shook his head like Manager Wang, and said with a smile: "It's two million! Manager Wang, Ms. Sun! The country is developing, the times are progressing, when "Zhu Xian" was sold, it was 1.5 million plus dividends, and now that the country's economy is developing so fast, I will increase the price by 500,000, which is very reasonable, right? Well, I also want dividends!"
Sun Yafei: "Mr. Lu, 1.2 million, our manager can't accept it, and you still offer 2 million? Aren't you driving us away? This price is absolutely not good!"
Manager Wang: "It seems that Mr. Lu has misunderstood our psychology! Does Mr. Lu think that we will buy your copyright no matter how high the price is? 1 million, it is indeed the upper limit for me, if Mr. Lu is really not satisfied, I can cut it first and then play it, and add 200,000 to you by myself, but two million ......"
Manager Wang shook his head with a regretful expression: "We really can't accept it! I hope Mr. Lu can think about it again!"
Lu Yang still smiled at the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said: "Two! Look at the problem from the perspective of development! When "Zhu Xian" was sold for 1.5 million, many people felt that it was a high price, but now? Many people have said that it is sold low! According to the current market, 2 million to buy my copyright, maybe a bit expensive, but I believe that I will not sell this year, and I should be able to sell more in two years, what do you think? In fact, I don't have to sell this adaptation right in the near future, I agree to sell it to your company for two million, and it is also because I recently announced to the outside world that I want to operate with full copyright, and I hope that this matter can make more progress!"
Just when Manager Wang wanted to continue to press the price, his mobile phone rang...... (To be continued......)
