Ten o'clock in the morning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Meeting room in the school office building.

All three parties have arrived.

Qin Feng is himself, Sister Min, Lin Yang, teacher Wang Jianxin and assistant from Yinghua Law Firm, and teacher Jia Xiaolin and assistant from Tianzheng Law Firm.

There is also Principal Li, when Qin Feng asked him to borrow a conference room, he told him about it.

Hearing that Qin Feng was going to sign the bookmarks to these two super publishers, Lao Li's eyes suddenly lit up like a pair of searchlights.

It is too important for a university to have a good relationship with these big publishers, and Lao Li naturally will not miss this opportunity, so he also came here to help him in the name of the town!

Huaxia Publishing Company came with three people, namely business manager Han Liang, senior editor Li Weiwei, and legal counsel Zhang Zhen.

Four British Bethin came: Joey, the manager in charge of China, James, the senior editor, Stephen, the lawyer, and a translator.

After a bit of noise and introductions, we got to the point.

As the author of the novel, Qin Feng is undoubtedly the focus of everyone's attention, waiting for him to open.

Qin Feng sorted out his thoughts and said loudly:

"Welcome to the University of Technology and Business, especially to the Betheson Publishing Company, welcome to China"

"Bang Bang Bang"

Applause rang out.

Lao Li glanced at Qin Feng appreciatively, you kid is quite sensible! Didn't forget about school.

Qin Feng continued:

"Thank you to both publishing companies for your interest in Harry Potter, and now I'll talk about the book, and some of my thoughts on the publishing contract, if you have different opinions, we can discuss them later."

After speaking, he paused and waited for the translator of Pei Shen's company to translate this passage to a few foreign devils.

When the translation was over, he picked up what he had just said.

"Harry Potter is a Western fantasy novel, with a total of 228,000 words and 17 chapters"

There was another pause, then continuation.

……

Next, Qin Feng gave a general introduction to the content of the novel, and then talked about the outlook for the sales prospects of the book.

When he said that the book would be a global bestseller, some people in the audience believed it, some people didn't believe it, and there were all kinds of expressions.

The British Sentry and his entourage quite agreed with his statement.

This book is arguably the most outstanding Western fantasy novel out there, and there is no rival in the market for similar novels.

Fantasy novels are not small in the European and American markets, and teenagers are the main consumers, which determines the market prospects of this novel, and it should be no problem to sell well in Europe and the United States.

The group of Huaxia Company didn't believe Qin Feng's words a little.

They think the book might sell well, but to say that it sells all over the world is probably an exaggeration!

This is normal, there are very few Western magic novels in the Chinese book market, it can be said that there are very few, and the few books that are only circulated in a small range have no reference value. Therefore, it is difficult to make an accurate assessment of the market prospects of "Harry Potter".

However, due to Qin Feng's star status, a large number of fans, and the quality of the novels is really good, Huaxia Company is still very optimistic about sales, which is why they are here today.

As for the others, the idea doesn't matter.

The different performances of the two publishing companies were completely expected by Qin Feng.

After he finished speaking, there was a discussion in the conference room, Qin Feng did not participate, but took a sip of water and waited for the scene to be quiet.

After a pause, the discussion was much quieter, and Qin Feng immediately continued.

He told the two companies that this is only the first installment in the Harry Potter series, and that there are six more to come, each more exciting than the other, and that the entire series is about three million words.

And the next six parts have all been conceived and matured, and they only need to be turned into words and launched one after another in the next few years.

Both publishing companies were surprised and certainly even more excited to hear this.

They didn't expect "Harry Potter" to be such a huge series of novels, and Qin Feng was already confident in the entire series.

As publishers, they understand the benefits too well, as long as the first part is a hit, the best-selling of the subsequent parts will be logical, just lie down and count the money.

Thinking about this joint, the eyes of the personnel of the two companies were a little red, and everyone was determined to win.

The rest of the people were also surprised when they heard the news, and the amount of money was too big!

……

After some shock and discussion, Qin Feng talked about the most important publishing contract.

He made it clear to the two companies that the publishing contract only authorized them to publish text novels, and all other rights, such as film adaptation rights, comic book adaptation rights, e-reading copyrights, etc., would be retained by themselves.

There was another uproar at the scene, and both companies disagreed with this article.

The British wanted more, especially the rights to film adaptations, which was one of the important goals of their trip.

Huaxia Company did not insist too much, of course they also wanted to get a little more rights, but if they did not get it, it would not affect the signing of the contract.

Regarding the objections of the two companies, Qin Feng resolutely refused, and he said categorically:

"Except for the text version of the license, the rest of the rights of the novel will not be authorized or transferred, if it is not acceptable, then there is no need to talk about it"

Seeing that he was so resolute, the two companies could only accept this clause, considering the huge benefits that this novel could bring.

There were also people at the scene who did not understand why he insisted on retaining these rights.

Only Lin Yang understood the reason, but he thought that Qin Feng was dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Actually want to point to a series of novels and become a billionaire, isn't this a dream?

The two companies accepted this clause, Qin Feng's heart suddenly relaxed a lot, he was afraid that the talks would collapse here, and the current result was undoubtedly the best.

He certainly wouldn't explain to the other party how precious these reserved rights would be, and of course, maybe he wouldn't believe him if he said it.

The biggest problem was solved, and the next problem was the location where the novel was published.

According to Qin Feng's wishes, the Chinese version was licensed to Huaxia Publishing Company, which published and distributed it worldwide.

Editions in other languages are licensed to Symson and are also distributed worldwide.

However, there is a lot of overlap in the publishing business of the two companies, and Huaxia also publishes books in foreign languages, but their overseas distribution channels are too much inferior to Peishen.

Peishen also has a Chinese publishing business, and their distribution channels in China are 108,000 miles behind.

This requires coordination between the two companies, so after Qin Feng threw this issue out, he sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and began to discuss the contract with the lawyer.

The two publishing companies engaged in a war of words, competing for their own interests.

The two sides refused to give in to each other, and they almost went to war, and the conference room became very lively.

……

Twenty minutes later, the two companies reached an agreement.

As Qin Feng envisioned, Huaxia Company gave up the right to publish the foreign language version, and Peishen Company gave up the right to publish the Chinese version.

There are no restrictions on the distribution region, and it is a global distribution.

Moreover, they agreed not to put obstacles in the way of each other's sales in their respective spheres of influence, and to compete in a fair and friendly environment.

This result is of course what Qin Feng is most willing to see.

Next, Qin Feng agreed with them on the publication deadline of the novel.

The maximum period from the date of signing the contract cannot exceed three months, and the novel must be put on sale.

If this time is exceeded, Qin Feng has the right to cancel the contract and demand compensation from the breaching party.

At the same time, Qin Feng asked the publishing company to cooperate with his own publicity, and he would also cooperate with the publishing company's publicity activities.

There is no objection between the two companies to the publication date limit, which is a regular clause of the publishing contract and there is nothing to say.

But they don't understand the propaganda a little bit, and they don't know how Qin Feng is going to publicize it.

Could it be that he has some unknown tricks? (To be continued.) )
