Chapter 517: Can't Talk!
You must know that the profit of Yuye Company in this link is quite a lot!
Take books as an example, a rough calculation, in Huaxia, Yuye Company in the physical sales channel, the general wholesale price to dealers is 75% off, that is, the profit of dealers and retailers accounts for 25% of the selling price, the cost accounts for 25%, Ye Yu's remuneration ratio (that is, the royalty rate) is 12%, and Yuye Company can get 38%!
If it really did what For-Books Publishing House wanted, and Ye Yu's works were published by them, and they only paid Ye Yu for his manuscript, then even if the wholesale price it gave to the distributor was 70% off, and the profit of the distributor and the retailer accounted for 30% of the selling price, excluding 25% of the cost, 45% of the profit would be left for Ye Yu and For-Books Publishing House to share in the end.
Taking a step back, even if the wholesale price is 60% off and the cost is 30%, you can still leave 30%!
And obviously, even if they give Ye Yu the industry's top remuneration ratio, Ye Yu still takes a small head, and For-Books Publishing House takes a big head!
If For-Books is engaged in online direct sales, it will make even more!
Moreover, according to the other party's meaning, he also wants to publish all of Ye Yu's works for a long time, although he didn't say it explicitly, but he just wants to treat Ye Yu as a long-term contracted writer under their publishing house!
If Ye Yu is an ordinary writer, then he may agree to fight for it, after all, opening up channel relations in the United States and establishing subsidiaries is not only troublesome and time-consuming, but also a big project, which requires a lot of money, and generally few writers will do this kind of thing, because if you are not careful, the gains outweigh the losses, but Ye Yu is different!
There is a world civilization behind him, and the profit is incalculable just by publishing books. Isn't it brain-pumping to give such a large amount of profits to others?
Moreover, the price of goods in rice is high, the price of books is high, the profit is also large, and the awareness of copyright is also higher than that of Huaxia. The consumption power of the people of the United States is also strong, and it is still the third most populous country in the world, with a population of more than 300 million, which is too huge!
Ye Yu's brain will only agree to this kind of thing when his brain is in water!
So, he refused without hesitation.
After Ye Yu refused, Joseph fought for it several more times, and also gave up part of his interests, trying to persuade Ye Yu, but Ye Yu was unmoved. There was no intention of relenting at all, insisting on establishing a subsidiary in the United States, and the subsidiary also refused to accept the shares of For-Books Publishing House, and could only accept cooperation with For-Books Publishing House in business relations. Just like the model when it was in the island nation, For-Books provides a network of contacts to help Yuye establish a subsidiary in the United States in exchange for a long-term relationship between the two companies in the future.
Of course, for Ye Yu such a request. Joseph clearly could not accept it.
After a fierce debate, no one could convince anyone.
An hour later. Joseph finally gave up and sighed, "It seems that I can't convince Ye Ye anymore." ”
Ye Yu smiled slightly and said, "It seems that I can't convince Mr. Sawyer of you." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Although we couldn't reach an agreement, it was a pleasant afternoon tea," Joseph said. Ye your thoughts. I'll tell the boss when I go back and do everything I can to convince him to try. But our boss, like you, is a stubborn person, so I'm not sure. All I can guarantee is give it a try to the best of my ability......"
Speaking of this, he picked up the single album of "Billie-Jean" signed by Ye Yu on the table. pointed to the sentence "Music-is-the-art-of-thinking-with-sounds" written by Ye Yu above, and said with a smile: "For our friendship." ”
Ye Yu smiled and said, "Thank you." Nice to meet you and look forward to seeing you next time. ”
When they parted at the door, Joseph hesitated and said, "With all due respect, Ye, there is no Prince Harry in the United States. I'm afraid no publisher would agree to your idea of collaboration. ”
Ye Yu said with a smile: "We have a saying in Huaxia called 'things are done by people', everything is done by people, and I have confidence in myself." ”
Joseph smiled and sighed inwardly.
He felt that the cooperation method proposed by Ye was difficult for any local publishing house or company in the United States to accept. Because from a businessman's point of view, Ye is not familiar with the life in the United States, and there is no relationship channel, so he can squeeze as much as he wants, even if he compromises and gives up some of his interests, there is no need to give up such a big benefit!
It is really unnecessary to use the behavior of "helping Yuye Company to establish subsidiaries and establish channels in the United States" in exchange for "long-term business partnership between Yuye Company and Yuye Company in the future", and it is a big loss!
I don't know what the Gutian Publishing House of the island country thought at the beginning, and would actually agree to this kind of thing.
Joseph thought that perhaps it had something to do with the fact that the markets between the same Eastern countries were easier to get through, and the markets between the Eastern and Western countries were more difficult to get through.
It would probably be easier for a Chinese person to open up the channels of the island country, so Gutian Publishing House is not so tough, plus it has cooperated with Yuye Company before, but it is just ...... Ye wants to concoct it in the same way and open up the channels of the rice country, but it is as difficult as climbing to the sky!
He felt sorry for this new friend he met today.
Joseph? Sawyer left, and He Ru sighed in dismay: "Alas, come for nothing." ”
Ye Yu smiled and said, "It was my luck before." In the eyes of those Mi businessmen, I am a fat sheep, I am not familiar with the place here, I am still an Oriental, it is very difficult to establish a subsidiary and open up channel relations by myself, and in the end I still have to turn to them for help and rely on them to publish. So, they wouldn't agree to the way I worked with Furuta Publishing House in the island country at all. ”
"Hmm." He Ru said with some indignation: "They just feel that they have nothing to fear. ”
Ye Yu nodded and said, "The West has always considered itself to be the center of the world and looks down on the East. It was quite troublesome for us to break our company into the Western market. The time in Britain was entirely because of the help of Prince Harry and the help of the British royal family. It then radiates from the UK to the rest of the European Union. If we do it entirely on our own, it's going to be a hassle. But now, as Mr. Sawyer said just now, there is no Prince Harry in the United States. Moreover, compared with the United Kingdom, the United States, as the world hegemon, is even more above the top, and also regards China, which has begun to rise in recent years, as an imaginary enemy, what kind of threat theory about China...... In addition, if these publishers try to force me to pressure me because I don't cooperate with them, it will be even more troublesome. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Yu changed his words and said confidently: "However, I have confidence in myself!" ”
Looking at Ye Yu, who had a faint smile on his face and was full of confidence, He Ru's eyes were slightly confused, his face was slightly red, he nodded, and said, "Hmm!" ”
She had faith in him.
