317 Okay, I'll Break Your Contract (Part II)
Hearing the asking price of the Pu Hall, Ye Chui couldn't help frowning, a thousand yuan for a painting?
You must know that the purchasing power of this world's Chinese currency is equivalent to the US dollar in another world, and the conversion into Japanese currency that can be used as a reference has reached 100,000 Japanese yen.
In Japan, where the comics industry is at its peak, the highest manuscript fee for a single page is only about 10,000 yuan for those god-level authors.
Of course, this does not include the copyright fee of the single book.
However, Ye Trai has already considered this aspect, what Ye Trai signed with these cartoonists is just a buyout agreement, but Ye Trai thought that he would give them red envelopes after the single book was sold, and in short, he would not treat these people badly.
Merely...... As soon as the Pu Hall opened its mouth, the price of the quilt was raised, from the original 100 yuan to 1,000 yuan?
The price of a hundred yuan is the top treatment in another world, and it is not satisfied?
Ye Chui showed a faint sneer on his face: "A thousand yuan, isn't it a bit much?" ”
The box was very quiet, and everyone was looking at Pu Hall and Ye Chui.
In fact, several cartoonists have some small opinions on the issue of manuscript fees, the king of comics is completely popular, Ye Chui has made a lot of money, and now the best-selling single book is also inevitable, compared to the price of a hundred yuan for a painting, it is indeed a bit low, but most of them are still content, because compared with before, their current income has simply increased by ten times or even a hundred times.
They couldn't be more satisfied.
They also understand that the reason why their paintings can sell for such a good value is, in the final analysis, that Ye Chui's storyboard is excellent. They are the light that has been stained with leaf lobes.
However, when they heard Pu Hall's proposal to increase the manuscript fee, although these cartoonists felt that Pu Hall's proposal was a bit excessive, they also had some thoughtful expressions, and if Pu Hall could successfully increase the manuscript fee, then maybe they could follow suit......
"Mr. Ye, a thousand yuan for a painting is not high at all." Pu Hall said in a deep voice, "The sales of the comic king are so hot now, plus some advertising income, as well as single book income, I don't think my request is too much for you!" ”
"Pu Hall. What are you talking about? "Had a few glasses of wine. Therefore, Fang Xi, who had a fat face and was a little red, came over and shouted, he introduced the Pu Hall to Ye Chui, and asked Ye Chui for a fee increase in his manuscript fee privately, which made him a little unhappy.
"Fang Xi. I'm just making a very normal observation. Pu Hall looked at Fang Xi and said. The magazine of the King of Manga is what we have built together. Now that the magazine is on fire, is it wrong for us to ask for a higher manuscript fee? What do you say? ”
In the end, you say, Ura Hall looked at the other cartoonists.
The faces of these cartoonists are a little moved, people are greedy. If the manuscript fee can be increased, then their income will indeed enter a new level......
Fang Xi was even more angry: "We made it very clear in the original buyout agreement, your work was bought out by Brother Fork, and whether the price rises or not is up is up to Brother Fork!" ”
"Fang Xi, of course you are standing by Mr. Ye's side." Pu Hall glanced at Fang Xi a few times, and smiled coldly on his face, "Who doesn't know if you and Mr. Ye are good friends, or your future brother-in-law, you must have drawn the same cartoons as us, and you must have obtained much more than us, right?" ”
Fang Xi was speechless, in fact, he did take more, the dragon balls he drew were not calculated according to the number of sheets, but according to the percentage of income from this work, Ye Chui took good care of him, he and Fang Xi's income from this comic was fifty-fifty, if it was calculated according to the manuscript fee, Fang Xi's income from painting a comic was at least more than two thousand yuan.
Pu Hall saw this, so he deliberately used this excuse to satirize Fang Xi, so that Fang Xi didn't know what to say for a while.
"That's right!"
Ye Trai spoke at this time, this kind of thing happened in the box, everyone stood up, even his mother Zhou Yayun stood up and was ready to mediate, but Ye Trai was still sitting in the seat, which seemed to invisibly add a momentum to him.
Everyone's eyes shifted to Ye Zhuo's body.
Ye Chui continued: "Fang Xi's income is indeed more than yours, but he took this money not because of his relationship with me, but because he deserved this money, when Dragon Ball first started creating, he didn't think about making money from this comic at all, he drew it completely because he liked it, and I was willing to pay such a high price just because of this, but what about you?" ”
"What's wrong with us?" Pu Ting muttered, "We also draw because we like comics." ”
"You can just make money because of this, if it weren't for Fang Xi's introduction, you would still be painting those advertising paintings, right? A dozen dollars a piece? Ye Chui said slightly sarcastically.
Pu Hall's face changed slightly, he felt a little broken jar, walked to the side and stood with several other cartoonists, looked at Ye Chui and said: "You have made my paintings more valuable, I am very grateful to Mr. Ye for the return you gave me, but I can't accept the price of a painting of 100 yuan, if Mr. Ye continues to force you like this, then I have to choose to resign." ”
"Resign?" Ye Shu smiled coldly.
"That's right!" Pu Hall suddenly laughed, and there was a feeling of complacency, "I'm not afraid to tell Mr. Ye, I don't know how many people have come to me to draw comics recently, I will choose any one, and the price here will be much better than Mr. Ye!" ”
Among the five comics serialized on the current comic king, Batman's popularity is actually the lowest, and at Ye Chui's suggestion, each issue of the magazine will distribute a questionnaire to rank the comics.
Among these rankings, the first place is usually Dragon Ball, Slam Dunk, Fengyun and Yuyou Hakusho are in the second, third and fourth places, and Batman is last.
It's not that Batman is bad, it's mainly that this kind of European-American style comics is obviously a little unsuitable in China, but the unique dark style still receives a large number of fans, and Pu Hall has also become quite famous.
Recently, because of the popularity of comics, some people have developed a strong interest in comics, and various comic magazines have sprung up, and there is a tendency for cartoonists to replace the original comic strips, but there are not many people who can draw comics. It is inevitable that someone will pay a lot of money to poach the Pu Hall.
Not only him, but several other cartoonists have had such an experience, even Fang Xi has received many similar invitations.
After Pu Hall said this, he looked at Ye Chui with a little smugness in his eyes.
He is not a fool and naturally he will not want to leave the comic king, he just wants to take out his own chips when he says this, he is very sure that Ye Trai will not let him go, he left, so who will help Ye Trai draw in Batman Comics?
Pu Hall is full of confidence.
"You mean, if I can't give you a price that satisfies you, then you're going to break that buyout contract with me. Is it possible to find another home? A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Droi's mouth. asked lightly.
"That's right!" Pu Hall nodded triumphantly.
"That's good." Ye Chui continued, "I will terminate the contract with you. ”
“……”
Pu Hall's expression was sluggish, and it took a few seconds to realize what Ye Chui said, and couldn't help shouting: "What? ”
I said. I'm canceling my contract with you now. Ye Chui repeated. Oh yes. Because you asked for the termination of the contract, you still need to pay me a termination compensation, but for the sake of how hard you have worked in the past. I won't accept this compensation, I hope you can find a good home in the future. ”
Pu Hall stood there and didn't know what to say, he just used this to bargain with Ye Chui, in fact, the price in his heart was not so much as a thousand yuan, if it could be raised to five hundred or three hundred yuan, he would already be satisfied.
But he didn't expect that his boss, who was obviously not very old, would be so resolute and directly terminate the contract with him.
This...... How does this disturb the routine to play cards?
Pu Hall swallowed his saliva, feeling incredulous, his heart suddenly moved, Ye Chui terminated the contract with him so calmly, maybe it was also a strategy? Now it seems to be a game between him and Ye Chui to see who can't hold his breath first.
After all, comics and novels are similar to these things, and if you suddenly change people and pen, how will readers continue to read it?
Isn't this a clear smashing of your own business?
Everyone has their own style, which cannot be imitated.
Thinking of this, Pu Hall agreed: "Okay, I'll terminate the contract with you!" ”
Ye Chui still had a faint smile on his face, opened the portable light brain, and destroyed the online electronic contract that he had signed in front of him in front of the contract destruction organization that was circulating, and from then on, there would be no more anything to do with Ye Chui and Pu Hall, and there would be no more property disputes.
Pu Hall swallowed his saliva hard, feeling his head a little dizzy, but soon he calmed down again, deliberately, all of this was deliberate by Ye Chui.
"Mr. Pu, since we no longer have an employee relationship, can we ask you to leave?" Ye Chui then said to him with a smile.
Pu Ting's body shook, forced himself to calm down, and said to Ye Chui: "Then Mr. Ye, I take my leave!" ”
With that, he turned and walked outside.
After walking out of the box, some thoughts silently flashed in his heart: In less than three days, Ye Chui will definitely come to me again, and he will definitely come back here to find me!
- Later, Ye Chui never contacted him again, and he never had the opportunity to re-enter the comic king......
In the box.
Seeing that Ye Trai left the box cleanly, everyone else was gloomy, what happened to the Pu Hall gave them a warning shot, Ye Trai would really fire them......
They suddenly understood what was the use of the honor they were now receiving and the welcome they were receiving? It's not all given by Ye Tuo, and Ye Tuo can give them these things, so naturally they can also deprive them of these things directly.
"Now." Ye Chui looked at the remaining cartoonists, "If there is anyone else you want to terminate the contract, you can bring it up now." ”
"Mr. Ye, what did you say, we never thought about terminating the contract."
"That's right, Pu Hall was blindfolded and actually made such an unreasonable request, thinking that when I was a painter, I was busy and the income I got in a day was only a few dozen yuan, and now I can paint at least three paintings a day, that is, three hundred yuan, I don't know how many times better than before, I am too late to be happy, how can I raise the manuscript fee again?"
"A hundred dollars is enough, we are content!"
The remaining three cartoonists have expressed their positions.
Seeing them say this, the expression on Ye Chui's face softened, and he said with a smile: "Okay, let's work together in the future to strive to continue to make the comic king bigger, but just now that Pu Hall raised the issue of increasing the manuscript fee, I think this issue should also be taken seriously, so let's draw up a buyout contract again, from the original one hundred yuan to two hundred yuan each, how about it?" ”
Ye Chui's words made the cartoonists in Sanwei show inexplicable expressions of surprise, and naturally nodded in agreement.
If it is raised to 200 yuan, then their income will be doubled.
"In addition......" Ye Chui continued with a smile, "After the single book of the comics is put on the shelves, I will also give you a red envelope according to the sales, which can be regarded as a reward." ”
This time, these cartoonists were even more happy, and they came up to toast with Ye Chui.
Zhou Yayun next to him saw Ye Chui doing this, with a satisfied look on his face, thinking that his son expelled Pu Hall to give other cartoonists a warning, and then sent red dates to give them sweetness, in this way, it is to send them a message, it is good to listen to him, if you don't know what to do like Pu Hall, you can only roll up and get out!
Presumably, these cartoonists will definitely be extremely sincere to Ye Trai in the future. (To be continued......)
