Chapter 170: Negotiation
"Wait slowly. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
A female author said indifferently: "Now I finally have a chance, where is it not stronger than before!?" ”
"Besides," she added, "even if you don't make the list, it's worth the trip." Although I haven't seen the shootout with my own eyes, I have heard it with my own ears, I have tasted the feast of tens of millions of American knives, I have let go of the world's top brands of fruits to eat, I have gone to sea on a yacht, I have gone hunting in the mountains with a gun, I am almost crazy, what else is there to regret? ”
"Speaking of sugar candy, I'm not as indifferent as you." Another author on the side pouted and said: "Although it is worth the trip, if there is a work that can be included in the list, it is the Great Perfection." It's not about how much royalties you can get, the key is that when you think about those white and black people holding our books and reading them with relish, that kind of satisfaction will definitely not be placed! ”
"But it's also possible to hit the streets." Someone said: "This is the first time, it is an opportunity, but it may also die." Novels that are biased towards Western fantasy are only biased, and may not necessarily suit the taste of Westerners. If you want me to say, the third child is a pioneer this time. This pioneer is either cannon fodder or a general, just look at the results. ”
"Salty and don't worry about eating turnips." Someone laughed and said: "The third child, their book will be published in the United States, and it will be half a year later." I think it's better to care about the most important things around us. ”
"You're talking about piracy, right?" The third child spoke.
"Not really. In the past, when it was still a certain point, the backer was not hard enough, and the waist pole could not stand upright, so I could only watch piracy run rampant. It wasn't until the transcription that it gradually got better. Now that there is a big boss behind me, I think there is a lot to be done! As long as piracy is eliminated, not to mention how much income can be increased, the most important thing is for me to be happy! ”
"It's hard to solve this matter. The environment is like this, where is so easy. Even if there is a big boss behind him, it is impossible to have a smooth sailing. ”
"Didn't you listen to Lao Wu, sue until death, regardless of the cost! With the value of a big boss, don't you just crush it? ”
"But this is Great Xia after all..."
"What are you doing with those who don't have it, we can't go into battle shirtless. Anyway, this time it passed, and it was not a loss. The pig god laughed on the side, took out a white metallic medallion from his pocket, and threw it: "That's it, that's enough!" ”
"Annual meeting platinum medal, fifty grams, hehe, four or five hundred and one grams!"
This is the commemorative gift of the annual meeting prepared by Zhou Yu for them! A platinum medallion weighing 50 grams! The price of this medal material alone is as high as more than 20,000 Xia coins, plus the production cost, 30,000 Xia coins each!
...
After Yuewen's annual meeting, as soon as Wu Wenhui and others returned to the magic capital, they turned around and sued all the websites and publishers that pirated Yuewen's works!
Dozens of snowflake-like court summons flew in all directions, and Yuewen's resoluteness can be seen.
It's like a bomb, it exploded suddenly, and the circle that immediately shook shook three times!
Of course, regardless of how the onlookers are ready to watch the joke, they are ready to watch how Yuewen ends. What followed was the news that Yuewen's overseas branch was completed, and ten novels were to be published overseas.
This news is even more shocking!
At the same time, at a time when earth-shaking changes have taken place in the online literature circle, the filming process of "Emperor Han" is also very gratifying.
Because of the abundant funds and strong crew, although the scale of this movie is huge, it is now nearing the end.
But near the end, this movie is going to be released during the Great Summer and Spring Festival, but it still can't be done. The main reason is that the post-production of special effects is very time-consuming.
According to Xu Ke's estimate, it will take at least April or even May to work overtime before it can be fully produced.
And that's fast enough.
Like Hollywood superhero blockbusters, it often takes a year or two, or even longer, to be brought to the screen. And how long did "Emperor Han" take? Even if it can only be released in May of the first year, it will be less than a year.
...
Time flies.
Christmas is followed by New Year's Day, and after New Year's Day, a new year arrives.
More than ten days.
On the edge of the rice fields by the lake, on the ridges paved with stone slabs, a dozen or so people are sitting on small horses, holding fishing rods in their hands.
Behind it, there are green rice fields. In the air, there is a faint smell of rice.
Zhou Yu sat in the middle position, flanked by Brian, Morgan and others.
The number of these dozen or so people remains the same, and the vast majority of them are the parties who signed the contract at the beginning, and only one is a new face. And the old face, but one less.
The new face is next to Morgan, and he is also a handsome guy.
His surname was Rockefeller.
The old face that is missing is the old Lei Shidong.
Anyway, Zhou Yu didn't know how Brian dealt with them, and estimated that the big cake of the new crop might not have Lao Lei Shidong's share. But this is none of Zhou Yu's business, Lao Lei Shidong died by himself, lost Viacom in vain, and in the end there is no fan of him, who is to blame?
Still, he was going to ask.
Seeing that the float suddenly sank, feeling the power from the fishing rod, Zhou Yu laughed and began to wrestle with the hooked guy, and after a while, he pulled the hooked catfish ashore.
It is a catfish with milky white stripes.
"Uncle Brian, where's old Lei Shidong?"
Zhou Yu asked directly.
He is too lazy to play sloppy with people, and he doesn't like to go around and around.
Brian also had a fish hooked, and while retracting the fishing line, he said with a smile: "Today's whole fish banquet is not as good as Old Lei Shidong's." ”
Morgan actually caught one and said with a smile: "Old Lei Shidong is old and confused." I don't think we need to mention him, do we? ”
Zhou Yu nodded slightly.
That's where we get to business.
"I think you all know that the new crop research has been successful. The rice fields behind us are the most dazzling proof. Zhou Yu pointed to the rice field behind him.
The others couldn't help but look back.
"It was expected to take two years, but I didn't expect it to be successful in less than a year. I think it's God bless us. Zhou Yu smiled: "According to the terms signed in the contract, I can take out these little babies immediately." But before I do that, I have something to discuss with you. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu didn't pay attention to the changes in the expressions of the people around him, and said slowly: "I am Chinese, an authentic Zhuxia Miao descendant. So, on some important things, I think a little more than you. ”
"I can guarantee that the new rice plant will change the world, but I don't want to be left behind in the process. Do you understand what I mean? ”
Hearing this, Brian and the others immediately understood.
But I saw Morgan frowning slightly, and said, "Zhou, do you want to provide seeds for Daxia for free?" It's not in our interest! ”
"No!" Zhou Yu waved his hand: "Interests belong to interests." I mean, because of the relationship between the United States and Great Xia, once our new rice is available, then I think the U.S. government, on the other hand, will definitely intervene... I don't give even a seed to anyone for free. What I mean by this is that in the process of new rice planting, we can't leave the summer behind. For example, we can provide one-third of the seeds for Great Xia, not for free..."
"This is a request of mine." His voice was slightly heavy: "I will match the Great Xia side, how to talk about it specifically, you grasp the direction, but you must not fall behind the Great Xia, everyone, do you understand what I mean?" ”
Of course I do!
Which one is the idiot here?
Clearly, they all say that it is a request, and if they are ignored, it means a rift.
This is undesirable for anyone present.
Little Rockefeller smiled at this time: "Zhou, I understand your thoughts. But a third, is it too much? Even if we reach an agreement with Bactria before the new rice is planted, I am sure that the U.S. government will intervene to stop it when the new rice is available. ”
"I know." Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "But this is my only appeal." Mr. Rockefeller, you should understand how much interest there is in this, and I think, for the sake of this great benefit, this small appeal of mine, all of you, should be satisfied, right? ”
Brian and the others couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Zhou, the problem is not so simple." Morgan put down the fishing rod and said solemnly: "Although we can influence the government's decision-making to a certain extent, we are not the government after all..."
"Why say so much?" Zhou Yu waved his hand: "A very simple question. The U.S. government is allowed if it is not. Otherwise I'd rather destroy them! He reached out and pointed to the seedlings behind him.
"Whether you swallow this cake or throw it in the trash, everyone, it's up to you." Zhou Yu's voice was quiet: "I don't care." ”
Now, everyone's faces are not very good-looking.
"It's the same to make money, make Daxia's money, what's so bad?" Zhou Yu said: "It's not provided for free, so why bother with this?" Moreover, after all, the new rice planting is to be promoted to the whole world, sooner or later, how much difference is there? ”
Brian and the others couldn't help but look at each other.
"Zhou," Morgan pondered, "you know, if you break the contract, your farm will have to take out half of it..."
"Of course I do." Zhou Yuhun didn't care: "I can lose this farm, but I can also change places and make another farm again." ”
Morgan was speechless.
"I know you're in a bit of a quandary. Or worries like the Yellow Peril. The historical status of Great Xia made the whole world vigilant. But I still feel that it is not necessary. We are capitalists, not politicians. We only think about profit and nothing else. Everyone, think about it, what a huge market Great Xia is? Why exclude it in the first place? This is not the work of the capitalists! ”
"And didn't it only take the lead in promoting it in Great Xia, and didn't the United States take the lion's share? And it won't lag behind, so what else is there to worry about? ”
"One-third, that's my bottom line."
Zhou Yu left his words here.
In a word, if you don't agree, even if Zhou Yu breaches the contract, he won't let them take a seed from here, and would rather destroy it, losing both!
"Hehehe..."
At this time, Leorick laughed: "I think what Zhou said is very right. We are capitalists, not politicians. Whose money is not earned? Instead, I thought, it's good. Zhou is a person with a bottom line and persistence, and I am very relieved to cooperate with such a person! ”
Leorik's words made many people bow slightly.
Indeed, people with a bottom line are more reassuring, there is no doubt about this.
"And." Leorik added, "I'm scared. What does it mean that the new planting of rice is about the whole of mankind? If I put it on the blockade from a political point of view, I am afraid that the nuclear bomb will be dropped on my head. ”
"Alarmist, right?" Some people can't help but say.
Brian and the others, on the other hand, frowned deeply.
They thought of more. (To be continued.) )
