In other words, the master Jin Yong urged Chen Xiaotang to quickly update his serialized novel "Xun Qin Ji" on "Ming Pao", but Chen Xiaotang proposed to transfer the copyright of this novel, saying that he did not have enough time and energy to continue to write.

Faced with this situation, Master Jin Yong couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and couldn't help asking, "Xiaotang, are you serious?" ”

Chen Xiaotang nodded and said, "Of course it's true, but in terms of price-"

"It's easy to talk about the price!" Jin Yong smiled slightly, he was really interested in this serialized novel, according to his point of view, if this book is completed, it will be called a new milestone in the history of martial arts novels.

"Don't forget, in addition to writing books, I'm also a very successful businessman." Jin Yong said with some pride, and said with a straight face after speaking: "Xiaotang, I have asked people to calculate, the number of words you update a month is about 60,000, and the average monthly remuneration is 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, according to the writing outline you gave, this book can continue to be written for five years, five years and seventy months, five thousand per month, a total of more than 350,000!" When the time comes, the copyright fee of the film and television will be a very objective income, don't you feel a pity if you transfer the copyright now? ”

"Hehe, I understand my own situation, and it's definitely hard to write a book now...... Besides, my focus is on acting, which is what I love the most, so I don't regret it! Chen Xiaotang replied in the affirmative.

"In this case, if you make a price, I will see if I can answer you immediately......" Jin Yong is worthy of doing great things, he also said just now, although he is a literati, but he is also a businessman, in his heart, Jin Yong has already calculated the value of the gold mine that can be "mined" by this book. The copyright of film and television adaptations in the future alone is a huge wealth - Jin Yong believes that he knows better than anyone else about the understanding of copyright. So he immediately made up his mind that without further ado, it was best to do it now, so as to save the young man from regretting.

At this moment, Jin Yong looked at Chen Xiaotang with a fixed gaze, and thought that Chen Xiaotang would immediately sit on the ground and raise the price, but he was wrong, only to see the corners of Chen Xiaotang's mouth slightly curled up and said: "I didn't plan to ask for your money......"

As soon as these words came out, Jin Yong was stunned: "You don't want money? So what do you want? ”

"Hehe, I want to exchange it for some shares in your company!" Chen Xiaotang said very easily. He is not a fool, he fully knows the value of his novel, in his previous life, this novel alone made the author a millionaire, and at this time, Xiangjiang in the eighties was the most prosperous time for martial arts novels...... Now that he has used such a big "benefit" to invest in Jin Yong's "Ming Pao", Chen Xiaotang believes that the other party will not refuse.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, Jin Yong laughed.

He didn't expect the young man to be interested in his company.

You must know that the sales volume of "Ming Pao" in recent years has been good, but it is not a fragrant bait, and there are more newspapers and magazines pressed on it, such as "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily" and so on. However, Chen Xiaotang specified that he wanted to exchange for some shares, and seemed to be very optimistic about his company, which couldn't help but make him a little puzzled.

How did Jin Yong know that Chen Xiaotang's "eyes are like torches", Chen Xiaotang clearly knew that in the future, the performance of "Ming Pao" soared, the stock price soared, and when Jin Yong was selling, it had changed from a small company worth 30,000 or 40,000 yuan to a newspaper giant with a market value of billions.

It is only eighty-three years now, and Chen Xiaotang has reason to believe that as long as he takes a stake in this company, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money in the future.

"Mr. Chen, you have to think about it carefully, even if you ask me for a transfer fee of 600,000 yuan, I will give it to you, but you want ...... shares" Jin Yong asked tentatively.

600,000 Hong Kong dollars?!

In this era, Xiangjiang can be described as sky-high. In terms of its value, it is enough to buy a good building.

So Liu Dehua next to him couldn't sit still, coughed, and touched Chen Xiaotang beside him with his elbow: "Hey, Ah Tang, you must think about it carefully." ”

At this moment, Chen Xiaotang is also thinking carefully, whether to sell or not? If you sell it, you can directly improve your current life and make yourself more comfortable, and if you don't sell it, you can buy shares in "Ming Pao" according to the plan, and you will definitely make money in the future.

Chen Xiaotang is not the kind of person who is content with pleasure, he is a gambler with a plan, so after hesitating for less than a minute, he smiled, and directly took out the follow-up outline of the novel that he dared to write last night, and handed it to Jin Yongdao: "This is the outline content of the follow-up story, I spent a whole night writing it, this can always show my sincerity, right?" ”

Jin Yong took the outline handed over by Chen Xiaotang, looked at it carefully, and said, "I believe you!" You are sincere, as you can tell from the content of the outline you write! ”

There was a pause, "It's just that the shares you asked for...... I can only give you three percent of the shares......" began to bargain.

600,000, only 3% of the shares?

His uncle, no wonder this Jin Yong will make a fortune, and the small abacus is crunchy.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xiaotang replied decisively: "I know it's a little difficult, but I have to add more shares." ”

Jin Yong smiled, and said in his heart that this young man would really be able to bargain, so he said: "Three percent is already a lot, and the sale of all the copyrights of your novel to me is only 600,000 at most, and 600,000 in exchange for three percent of the shares of our "Ming Pao" Group, it is definitely earned - young people, you must know how to accept it when you see it." ”

Chen Xiaotang smiled slightly, as if he didn't take Jin Yong's rejection to heart, and said slowly: "It's not that I am asking for a price, it's really because the shares you gave make me feel a little unreasonable——"

"Oh, what's wrong?" Kim Yong asked.

Chen Xiaotang seemed to be confident, and said: "I have checked the sales of your "Ming Pao" in the past two years, originally your newspaper was mainly engaged in 'novel serialization', and now it has transitioned to 'current affairs news', but because it has just started in this regard, it is still the most important newspapers such as "Oriental Daily", and it has not increased much in terms of sales, so the stock price has not risen, but has a downward trend...... Don't know if I'm right? ”

Jin Yong was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Chen Xiaotang to be so shrewd, this person seems to be very business-minded in addition to being outstanding. So he asked, "So how much do you think I can give?" ”

Chen Xiaotang stretched out three fingers without hesitation: "Six percent!" ”

"Impossible!" Jin Yong immediately refused, "Although our company's stock price has a downward trend as you said, it is an inevitable product of the transition period. The reason why I agree with you to take a stake in the copyright of the novel is just because of love, isn't it too big for you to open your mouth so much? ”

Liu Dehua next to him squeezed his eyebrows at Chen Xiaotang, and the meaning was obvious to persuade him not to work against Jin Yong, after all, he might need help from others in the future.

Chen Xiaotang didn't seem to see Liu Dehua's small movements next to him, and smiled calmly: "We are in business, don't say anything about love or love, six percent should not be too much for your old man, and it may not even be as good as your old man's wine money." ”

Jin Yong took a deep look at Chen Xiaotang and seemed to want to see the bottom line in his heart, but Chen Xiaotang gave him the feeling that his eyes were very deep, like an abyss with no end in sight.

"Okay, let's do it, I'll take a step back and you give way, five percent, if you're still too little, I'll have to give up."

"It's a deal!" Chen Xiaotang replied very simply, and at this moment a happy smile appeared on his face, no longer old and steady just now.

Looking at Chen Xiaotang's seemingly victorious appearance, Jin Yong vaguely felt that he seemed to have lost a game in this bargain.

However, when signing the agreement, Jin Yong reminded out of kindness: "I hope you can think about it carefully, after all, this is what you worked hard to write, if you sell the copyright to me, you don't regret it in the future." ”

Chen Xiaotang: "If you want to gain, you must lose, I believe that exchanging copyright for equity is definitely the right thing." Maybe I will make a lot of money in the future......"

"Hehe, I hope so, if you make a lot of money, won't my company get bigger and bigger?!" Jin Yong was happy, thinking that what Chen Xiaotang said was just polite words, but he didn't understand that Chen Xiaotang could "see through" the future.

Anxious to "get the matter done", Jin Yong immediately found his personal lawyer, who had been by Jin Yong's side for a long time and was very familiar with copyright transfer, and it only took less than a few minutes to complete some procedures.

Chen Xiaotang and Jin Yong signed and signed respectively, and then shook hands and cooperated happily.

Jin Yong is very happy to make this business, Jin Yong and Gu Long were once listed as the Taishan Beidou in the martial arts novel industry, and they naturally have a unique vision for the screening of martial arts novels, in his opinion, Chen Xiaotang's book can be said to be the most likely to lead the work of martial arts novels after him, and the fact is just as he thought, the book "Xun Qin Ji" is indeed so strong, but now it is sold by Chen Xiaotang, a "lazy" guy, and it has become stronger.

After this matter was settled, Chen Xiaotang wanted to pull Liu Dehua to eat a big meal, and during the meal, Liu Dehua felt incomprehensible about Chen Xiaotang's approach, in his opinion, it was much more energetic to carry 200,000 yuan in his arms than to buy any equity.

Chen Xiaotang didn't explain much to him, but just said that this was definitely not a loss-making business, and besides, his brain cells had been killed by the update of this book, and if he didn't change hands, he might not be able to go down.

Liu Dehua was noncommittal, just buried his head in eating, as if the 600,000 yuan that "flew" away was his, not Chen Xiaotang's.
