"Humph!" Jin Yong couldn't help but be a little depressed.

This Huang Yulang is really prepared, not only took out 20% of the royalty share of the physical book, but more importantly, took out 5% of the equity of Yulang International Company!

Today, the assets of Yulang Company are at least one-third of those of Ming Pao Newspaper.

In other words, Ming Pao has the right of first refusal to purchase other copyrights of Zhang Shaojie's works, but Jin Yong needs to pay 1.7% of the equity of Ming Pao Newspaper to be able to match the conditions of Yulang International.

Pay 1.7% of the equity of "Ming Pao" for a popular author? No way!

If Zhang Shaojie is given equity, Yishu, Ni Kuang and other Ming Pao authors will all ask for equity, Jin Yong will give it or not?

"Jin Daxia, it's just the authorization of the physical book publication and the authorization of the comic adaptation, and the serialization right of the newspaper "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is still in the hands of your "Ming Pao"!" Huang Yulang saw Jin Yong's hesitation and persuaded him.

Jin Yong thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to give up competing with Huang Yulang.

Jin Yong's surname is relatively "stingy", and he will never pay a higher price than Yulang International for the sake of the battle of will.

After all, the main performance of Ming Pao, which mainly operates newspapers and periodicals, depends on the circulation of the newspaper and advertising revenue.

As long as "Datang" is serialized in the newspapers and periodicals under the Ming Pao Company, readers can be attracted to order the newspaper.

The income from physical book publishing is a dispensable problem for companies whose main business is newspapers and magazines.

As for the comic adaptation rights, Jin Yong is even more interested. After all, the most powerful cartoonists in Hong Kong are basically divided by Huang Yulang and others. "Ming Pao" doesn't have any good cartoonists!

"Okay, Huang Housheng, count you as amazing! I can give you the physical publishing rights of "Datang", but you must promise me two conditions! Jin Yong thought about the relationship clearly, and stared at Huang Yulang with blazing eyes.

"Jin Daxia, you say!" Huang Yulang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that competing for the publishing rights of "Datang" would definitely make Jin Yong dissatisfied.

Now, Jin Yongken lists additional terms, that is, to give the two sides a step down in amicable settlement.

As long as there is talking, then although the two sides are a little unhappy, they will not become sworn enemies in the shopping mall!

Jin Yong said slowly: "First, the physical book and comics of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" issued by Yulang Company must be advertised for free for "Ming Pao" and "Martial Arts and History"! After all, "Datang" was first serialized in our "Ming Pao" publication! ”

Huang Yulang quickly replied: "This first condition, there is no problem at all!" What about the second condition? ”

Jin Yong's expression softened slightly when he heard this, and said: "The second is that the physical publication progress of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" must lag behind the serialization speed of "Martial Arts and History"! This ensures that the plot serialized in our newspaper is earlier than the physical book! ”

Huang Yulang thought for a long time before he said, "Okay! I can also agree to Jin Yong's conditions! I hope we can achieve more and better win-win cooperation projects in the future! ”

"Cooperation? Do you think that my "Ming Pao" is a bully, and you are ready to dig a corner with us? ”

"Hehe, Jin Yong hero, you are too worried! This kind of thing is not an example! I was too impulsive before. As you know, the Hong Kong comics industry is highly competitive. If a popular novel like "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is adapted into a comic by a competitor, it will inevitably cause our company to suffer losses. So, I have to strike first! How offended, please Haihan! ”

"Humph!" Jin Yong calculated the gains and losses, knowing that he had lost some copyrights of "Datang" on the surface.

However, in the future, with the release of the physical book and comics of "Datang". Huang Yulang needs to advertise "Ming Pao" and "Martial Arts and History" for free, which can increase the strength of "Ming Pao"! In this way, both parties have received some benefits, which can be regarded as a win-win cooperation.

It's just that this cooperation was completely unprepared by Jin Yong in advance, so he felt that his anger had not subsided.

Seeing Old Man Jin, his expression had gradually eased, and Huang Yulang was completely relieved!

No matter what kind of business you are engaged in, it is always better to make money by cooperating than to form mortal enemies!

In fact, Huang Yulang had the idea of adapting it into a comic after seeing "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". And when I negotiated with Jin Yong today, I suddenly thought that Jin Yong's martial arts works such as "Dragon Babu" and "The Condor Heroes" are also very suitable for adaptation into comics.

He thinks that after the adaptation of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is getting better, will he also talk to Jin Yong about the cooperation related to the adaptation of Jin Yong's novels and comics?

Of course, Huang Yulang knew that today was not a good time to negotiate. After another day, it is a better choice to ease the contradiction with Jin Yong, and then take the opportunity to propose cooperation.

――――――

After signing the agreement with Huang Yulang, Zhang Shaojie looked a little depressed.

After all, before "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" became popular, it was Hu Boli who came up with it.

Now that I am quietly cooperating with Yulang International Company, will it bring trouble to Editor Hu?

"Shaohuai, you said that my cooperation with Huang Yulang this time is right or wrong?" Zhang Shaojie asked a little annoyed.

"Brother, sometimes, things are not as simple as right and wrong!" Shaohuai thought for a while and said.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Zhang Shaojie asked.

"I know that the reason why you are a little depressed psychologically is because you feel that Editor Hu promoted you. However, if you quietly sign a publishing agreement with a company other than Ming Pao, it will make Ming Pao unhappy and cause trouble for Editor Hu, right? Shaohuai said.

"Well, I think the reason why I would rather have a lower price and stay in Ming Pao is because Brother Hu is righteous enough! It was he who promoted me and solved our family's predicament, no matter what, it couldn't bring him trouble! Zhang Shaojie nodded and said.

"Hehe, how do you know that Editor Hu will be in trouble?" Shaohuai said with a smile, "In his capacity, he works as an editor in Ming Pao Company, ** life, hobbies are the main factor." Brother Hu's ambition is obviously to read more novels and discover more potential authors. Brother, do you say yes! ”

"Well, that's true, Brother Hu said, the greatest joy is to find good books and become popular with an excellent author!" Zhang Shaojie said.

"In this case, do you think that Brother Hu cares about his ideals, or does it lie in the attitude of Ming Pao management towards him?" Shaohuai Road.

"However, I think that Brother Hu has been working in Ming Pao for many years, and he always has feelings for Ming Pao. Is it hurting Mingpao's feelings to sign a contract with a company other than Ming Pao in private, what does editor Hu think?"

When the two brothers were entangled.

The phone rings.

"Hello?" Zhang Shaojie answered the phone.
