"So ......"

The young man in red stood coldly, and suddenly, there was a domineering aura flickering on his body, although it was not as bright as Ye Li's, but it also made people feel that under a stab, everything around him would burst out.

"This book "The Weakness of Human Nature" sold a total of 280,000 copies in two days, and excluding various costs and channel fees, the company's profit is 20%, and the price of each book is 30 yuan, so the profit is 1.68 million yuan." The young man in red spoke eloquently, and his tone was gentle, but that kind of cold temperament was getting stronger and stronger.

Ye Li watched quietly and didn't speak, but his heart was full of vigilance. When he was working on the book, he realized that the publisher did not make a lot of money by publishing a novel, and it may not even exceed the author's profit. Because of the channel fee, it is often 5 or 6 percent off for those sellers, and then there are drawing fees, royalties, printing fees, editing salaries, paper prices, marketing prices, etc., so the profits earned are between 5% and 30%.

And the most important thing is that this book "The Weakness of Human Nature", everyone does it with a high-quality attitude, whether it is the quality of the paper, the best is selected, which leads to a lot of cost increases, so even if Ye Li does not collect the copyright fee, the book is only 20% profitable.

At this moment, the young man in red said coldly: "So, what about the copyright fee? A cultural company must have a reasonable system, even if you are the chairman, you can't even deduct the copyright fee, right? ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone's faces changed greatly.

The young man in red continued: "With Ye Li's current worth, it will definitely not be less than 15% of the copyright, just at this price. Then the profit of your book is only half of the profit! ”

Hear here. The faces of the crowd were cold. I didn't expect the other party to be so sharp.

It's just that Ye Li smiled faintly, not in a hurry at all, and then said: "Even if it is half of the profit, the profit is as high as 420,000 yuan, plus the previous 17 yuan, the profit is 590,000 yuan, which is more than the fifty percent profit stipulated in your contract." ”

As long as this result is decided, the other party will have the means to turn the river and the sea upside down. There is no chance either.

It's just that at this time, the young man in red smiled slightly and said, "In our contract, according to the total value of your company of 1.7 million, you must make fifty percent of the profit, and you need 850,000 to do it!" And your current profits are not enough! So, you guys lost! ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone's hearts exploded.

The faces of the people in the juvenile culture company changed greatly, and their emotions were boiling.

It was as if a bomb had suddenly detonated. Then countless forces boiled up, forming a huge wall of ice. Gather all the hearts of all people, so that no one can breathe.

Because the other party is taking advantage of the loopholes in the contract, and the total value of the company is not clearly written in the contract, so as to say such things at this moment!

Such despicable!

And the young man in green and the young man in blue changed their faces, they had already had the idea of not being able to fight against Ye Li, and they came hard, and they were even ready to admit defeat directly to Ye Li, and wanted to make friends with Ye Li, but now they found that this young man in red was so calculating!

Even if Ye Li will become the leader of young writers in the future, even if Ye Li has a bright future in the future, but so what? Ye Li's Juvenile Culture Company is still very weak, far inferior to large publishing houses, naturally does not have a strong influence, and the most important thing is that their future is in the hands of this competition.

Whoever wins this contest will have the priority to inherit the company!

At this moment, they couldn't help but change color, and they had the idea of hoping that Ye Li would win.

Hearing this, Ye Yiqian's gaze condensed deeply.

And Lu You closed his eyes vigorously, he didn't expect that his struggle that was full of countless strength these days was still defeated, and he felt a trace of unwillingness in his heart.

Many of the editors took a step back, deeply surprised.

Manager Kang lowered his head gloomily, he didn't expect that because he was determined to make the best version of this book, his profits would be greatly reduced, and he was full of regret for a while.

He knows that there is such a loophole in the contract, and if he fights a lawsuit with the other party, it will be even more detrimental to the company's reputation.

"Then, Ye Li, as the chairman of this cultural company, you should fulfill your obligations." The young man in red smiled and said, "However, this bet will not affect our cooperation in the future, and we will provide more funds in the future to establish a good cooperative relationship with you." ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the young man in blue and the young man in green were full of distraction, he didn't expect the young man in red to be able to do this, and it was far from what they could do.

"Not necessarily!"

Ye Li's voice suddenly rang out, resounding so clearly throughout the hall.

And Ye Li's pupils flashed with a crystal light, like a sword of the vast sky, which could pierce everything, and said, "You have forgotten a piece of data. ”

"What data?" The young man in red was completely stunned this time, he thought that when the overall situation had been decided, Ye Li could still say such a thing!

The eyes of the young man in blue and the young man in green have changed greatly, there seems to be light in his eyes, and the expectations in his heart are stronger.

At the same time, the other people in the Juvenile Culture Company were also completely stunned, and then they couldn't help but show a bright smile on their faces as if they remembered something, and couldn't help but say, "yes, how did I forget about that......"

"What's that? What's up? After hearing everyone's discussions, the mood of the young man in red finally began to change.

Ye Li said lightly: "Publishing the simplified version requires the review of the Huaxia Audit Office, but if it is an Anwen version and an island version, the review is much easier. Therefore, the Anwen version and the island version were published even one day earlier than the simplified version, and the sales of these two editions far exceeded the 280,000. ”

"How is this possible?" The young man in red lost his mind, he finally understood why Ye Li was so indifferent, he finally understood that he was still far from Ye Li.

"Well, I've been waiting for the statistician's data sheet to come out this morning, and there is a lag in data collection abroad, but it should be here now." Ye Li smiled slightly.

At this moment, an editor came running from a distance and handed a piece of paper to Ye Li.

The paper has the seal of the foreign audit office, which is very distinct.

And the above is the data of a total of 120,000 sales in two days of the Anguo version and a total of 50,000 sales in one day of the island version.

Then Ye Li raised one hand, and the paper seemed to emit countless golden lights, flashing in front of the young man in red.

And the profit on the paper was so dazzling that it was even more shocking that the young man in red couldn't breathe.

Compared with the 20% profit of the Chinese Simplified Chinese version, the profit of each book in Anguo is actually 30%, and the island version actually has 3.5% profit!

And in this calculation, according to the standard price of 30 yuan for a book, even if Ye Li's 15% royalty is deducted, the profit will add up to 840,000!

"This ...... How is this possible? Not only the young man in red, but even the other two young men couldn't help but shout: "You are cheating!" So it is possible to have such a high profit! ”

"The reason is very simple, the Chinese version is made by us, while the foreign version, although the translators we use are highly paid, they use the cheapest price for paper, drawing, and printing." Ye Li said lightly.

The three young men suddenly changed color, and for a while, even the young man in red froze.

Seeing the dejected appearance of the three young men, many editors finally couldn't help but rejoice and showed bright expressions.

A boulder that had weighed on their hearts had finally been removed.

"But how can sales be so high in Angola and island countries?" The young man in red shook his head, still unable to get out of the nightmare.

Ye Li still just smiled faintly and didn't answer.

He won't tell the other party that the style of his book is originally Westernized, so the translation is more suitable for foreign reading.

And these days, several of his Westernized articles have been translated abroad and are highly respected by countless people abroad, and the donation of the little girl who picked up the diamond before is an example.

So it is a matter of course that this "The Weakness of Human Nature" is a big hit abroad.

Seeing this, the young man in red finally fell into despair, sat down on the chair with a pale face, the corners of his mouth twitched, hesitated, and then closed his eyes and said, "I'm sorry! We lost! ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone cheered and applauded.

The indescribable joy is wandering in my heart!

Lu You felt that he had never been so proud of himself, and his eyes lit up.

And Manager Kang's gaze at Ye Li was full of amazement.

Father Ye nodded with satisfaction. Not only did the sales of this book surprise the other party, but Ye Li's atmospheric and indifferent expression and temperament also far surpassed the other party.

Then Ye Li said: "I owe you 500,000 yuan, and I will let the finance call you immediately." ”

"No need, I have already sought the consent of the chairman of our company, and no matter what the outcome of this matter is, we will continue to lend this money to you without interest. We don't have any conditions, we just hope to establish a good cooperative relationship in the future. The young man in red looked pale, slowly recovered, and then said sincerely.

It's just that the arrogance hidden in his eyes has completely disappeared, replaced by a respectful expression.

"Okay, thank you very much." Ye Li didn't expect the other party to have such a statement, and the current juvenile culture company is still too fragile, and it can establish some good relationships, which is more beneficial to the future development of the company, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, so he immediately agreed.

And when looking at the distant backs of the three young people, many people from the Youth Culture Company all applauded: "It's a success!" ”

"Great!"

"So much profit this time!" (To be continued......)
