Chapter 192: Signing
After taking Mrs. Anna's plan, Tang Chen looked at it carefully, and it took Tang Chen more than ten minutes to make this plan of less than 3,000 words. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When Tang Chen closed the plan, Mrs. Anna looked at him confidently and asked, "Tang, what do you think of my plan!" β
Although she was asking Tang Chen, her tone was confident, because she believed that no one would be able to give this contract except her.
Tang Chen handed Mrs. Anna's proposal back and said with a smile: "Mrs. Anna, your conditions are very good, but I think you have misunderstood!" β
Tang Chen's words made Mrs. Anna stunned, she really couldn't imagine why Tang Chen would refuse this contract, you must know that the share she gave reached 20%, far more than the 5% that Tang Chen could get in Macmillan.
Looking at Mrs. Anna's expression, Tang Chen knew that she had misunderstood, so he explained: "Mrs. Anna doesn't need to think about it, I am by no means talking too much, I just can't accept your plan!" β
Hearing Tang Chen's words, Mrs. Anna did not speak, but made a gesture of listening and waited for Tang Chen's next words.
Seeing her like this, Tang Chen said to himself: "Actually, even if Lady Anna doesn't come and talk to me about Harry Potter, Harry Potter will not be published in Macmillan next." β
Mrs. Anna is a smart person, and she can hear what Tang Chen means from his words, but she is sure of it, so she asks, "What do you mean, you also have the intention to get involved in the publishing house?" β
"That's right, the mage and the Chamber of Secrets, they're selling well, aren't they? Of course, I was not satisfied with Macmillan's five percent share, and I also thought about starting my own publishing house.
But I'm in Europe and the United States, and the relationships over there are too shallow, and then Baron Tom called, and he was able to solve the two things of movies and novels for me, of course I was very happy, but obviously I was looking forward to it in vain, and Madame Anna was not, the partner I was expecting. β
Tang Chen spread his hands regretfully, and ate the dessert on the air table.
And Mrs. Anna, who was opposite him, looked at Tang Chen deeply, and then turned her head against her and didn't know what to think, as for her daughter Theresa, her eyes never left Tang Chen, she seemed to be afraid of him, and suddenly left her sight.
Tang Chen smiled at Theresa, and then looked at Mrs. Anna to see what she was going to say.
Tang Chen didn't wait long before Mrs. Anna raised her head,
"Don, I understand what you mean, but I want to ask, what are your requirements!"
"I have a stake in the next five Harry Potter books, and I hope to get the absolute controlling stake in the new publishing house!"
As soon as Tang Chen's words were finished, Mrs. Anna immediately continued: "This is impossible, Tang, I think you are crazy, no publisher can accept this condition!" β
Her voice was very loud, and it immediately attracted a lot of dissatisfied eyes, and even her daughter Theresa withdrew her gaze from Tang Chen and looked at her mother in surprise.
In her heart, her mother has always been, like a noble wife, upholding the aristocratic demeanor, not to mention making loud noises in public, even at home.
Madame Anna quickly came to her senses, and knowing what she had done, she threw an apologetic look around, and then whispered: "Don, you have never done publishing, and you don't know your condition, it's incredible, I don't think anyone will agree to this condition as long as you are not a fool." β
Mrs. Anna's words are very reasonable, but Tang Chen disagrees, because he knows that in the later generations of Harry Potter, 4.5 copies have been sold worldwide in more than ten years, which is already as high as billions of dollars.
What's more, there are also its peripherals, such as movies, comics, etc., in this way, the total value of Harry Potter is definitely more than 20 billion US dollars.
And now Harry Potter has only sold a few million copies, and its potential has not yet been fully explored, so he only needs an absolute controlling stake, that is, fifty-one percent of the shares, compared to Mrs. Anna, the investment of one million pounds, is really a loss.
However, Tang Chen also knew that not everyone knew what happened in the future like himself, in their opinion, although Harry Potter was popular enough, it was just a children's book.
Thinking about these clearly, Tang Chen smiled helplessly, and said: "Otherwise, the conditions remain the same, I want an absolute controlling stake, that is, fifty-one percent of the shares, and in addition to Harry Potter and the remaining five books, I also took out an additional 200,000 pounds, and promised that I would only send finance into the publishing house, as long as nothing went wrong, I would not intervene in the operation of the publishing house." β
Tang Chen originally thought that Mrs. Anna needed to think about it, but as soon as his words fell, Mrs. Anna immediately nodded and said, "Deal!" β
Her transformation made Tang Chen a little stunned, and he muttered, "One hundred thousand pounds has such a big effect? β
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Anna chuckled and explained: "In our line of work, the most annoying thing is that there are people who don't understand and point fingers on the side, so you promise to ignore the operation of the company, of course I agreed, after all, I am also very optimistic about Harry Potter." β
Hearing Mrs. Anna's explanation, Tang Chen nodded, gathered the coffee cup and said, "In this case, in order to celebrate our happy cooperation, let's replace the wine with coffee and toast." β
βcheersγβ Mrs. Anna knew the habits of the Chinese, followed the local customs, and did not care about herself at this time, in the high-end Western restaurant, picked up the coffee cup in her hand, touched it with Tang Chen, and then drank it all.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Now that they have become partners, Tang Chen and Mrs. Anna chatted more happily, and two hours later, the two drove to Zhicheng Law Firm and signed the contract under the witness of the lawyer.
After signing the contract, Lady Anna took a contract and, Tang Chen had already prepared, Harry? Potter and the English manuscript of the prisoner of Azkaban, who can't wait to leave with her daughter, according to her, is going to hurry back to China to do a big job.
β¦β¦β¦
Outside the Zhicheng Law Firm, Aunt Wei looked at Tang Chen and admonished: "Chenzai, you can't be a man, that Theresa is good, but you can't be sorry for Xiaozi!" β
Hearing Aunt Wei's words, Tang Chen knew that looking at Theresa's distant back, Aunt Wei had a misunderstanding, so he forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I only like Asians, although Caucasian people are beautiful, they are not my thing." β
In fact, Tang Chen was worried about the 500,000 energy points, but Aunt Wei thought he was lying, and said in a reprimanded tone for a long time: "You wait, I'll get off work immediately, I have to talk to you today." β
After speaking, he hurriedly returned to the company, and walked out with his bag in less than three minutes.
In the end, Tang Chen was taken home by Aunt Wei and taught a good lesson, but he couldn't explain that Theresa was a supernatural person, and he just wanted to accept him as a subordinate.
So for several hours, Tang Chen could only keep nodding his head, knowing that the sun was setting and the sky was dark, Aunt Wei stopped, took him to the vegetable market, made a hearty dinner for him, and sent him home after the two of them finished eating.
At the door of Tang Chen's house, Aunt Wei stuck her head out of the car and advised: "Remember, don't be sorry for Xiaozi, otherwise, I will look good with you!" β
Hearing her advice, Tang Chen said with a righteous face: "Remember, I will definitely not provoke Theresa." β
Aunt Wei, who has a doctorate in psychology, looked at Tang Chen's pure eyes, felt that what she said had an effect, nodded with satisfaction, and then stepped on the accelerator, and the red Maserati drove quickly down the mountain.
Looking at the car moving away, Tang Chen smiled proudly and said, "What about the doctor of psychology, I won't provoke Theresa, but I don't promise that I won't provoke other girls!" β
When the sound of Maserati's motor disappeared completely, Tang Chen closed the iron door, turned around and walked into the house, and then went straight to the practice room and began to fight the brute bull punch.
