Chapter 192: Intense Negotiation
"Huh."
Hong Guang, who had always been gentle and elegant, suddenly laughed twice without warning, as if he was mocking Chen Zhuo's words.
"Lao Hong, do you have any ideas?" Chen Zhuo retracted the expression on his face and asked calmly.
"I don't have any ideas, but there are some small opinions, Lao Chen, since we met, you have been talking about how classic this book is, how high the income will be, and then talking to us about the conditions and requirements, but so far we have not seen the specific content of the book or a word, don't you think you are a little too much?" Hong Guang seemed to be very sober.
After a pause, Hong Guang continued, "We are very willing to believe in Mr. Lin Feng's level, but ...... Hehe. ”
It's another two-word 'hehe', the content is infinitely rich!
"Lao Hong is right, Lao Chen, shouldn't you take out the manuscript of this invincible bestseller and let us see it before making a decision?" Wang Jin also said with a smile.
"Lao Hong, Lao Wang, Mr. Lin Feng's level, do you want to believe it, but you don't want to believe my Chen Zhuo's appreciation and market foresight? We've known each other in this windy city for so many years, and you still don't know me? Chen Zhuo said with some depression. There should be no problem with your character, strength and reputation, right?
"Lao Chen, we believe in your level of appreciation very much, but we don't believe the words of Chen Zhuo, the editor-in-chief of the industry." Wang Jin responded in a timely manner.
"What Lao Wang said is, Editor-in-Chief Chen, that's what we mean, take out the manuscript, let's take a look at it first, and we can discuss your conditions and requirements." Hong Guang Dao.
"Discuss?" Chen Zhuo smiled, "The instability of the discussion is too great, why don't you agree directly if I take the manuscript." ”
Chen Zhuo decided to be more direct, after pouring the ** soup for so long, there was no short circuit or confusion in the brain, and he was so persistent, everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, so don't play and talk about fasting.
"Huh."
Hong Guang and Wang Jin laughed twice at the same time and did not speak. If the goods are not inspected, they will not let go, and the businessmen are willing to pay first, and they have to taste it when they buy a bun this year.
Seeing this, Chen Zhuo shook his head, picked up his briefcase, and took out the manuscript paper of "Harry Potter" from it, but it was not all of the part that Lin Feng gave him, only some of the previous ones. It is the general nature of people to reserve some for people. You must keep three points for doing things, and you should hide a few points from people, so that you can live longer and get more.
"This is Mr. Lin Feng's new work, Harry Potter, take a look, the content of these manuscripts should be able to make you make up your mind, if not, then our gathering today can only be said to be really eating and drinking." Chen Zhuo said as he handed over the manuscript.
"Hehe, that's natural, we have just said that we have absolute trust in Mr. Lin Feng's level, and after reading it, our determination will be made after the conditions change." After Hong Guang and Wang Jin took the manuscript, Hong Guang said.
Chen Zhuo didn't speak, just motioned for the two to hold on.
……
Time passes by in the flipping of the paper, and time passes between the lines of the "Harry Potter" on the paper.
Turning the last page in their hands, Hong Guang and Wang Jin glanced at each other and exchanged opinions through their eyes.
"How? What do you two think? I'm not exaggerating, right? Seeing that the two of them finished reading the manuscript, Chen Zhuo asked,
"Hehe, Lao Chen's draft is not very much, although it looks very attractive, but we really don't get too much information from it, however, we believe in Mr. Lin Feng's level, we are willing to join forces with you stars for this release of Harry Potter, but the conditions have to change." Wang Jin said.
"Change? How to change? Chen Zhuo asked.
"With this draft, we are willing to make some concessions, and on the basis of equal division, our two families will join together to let you have three points." Hong Guang groaned for a while, and after talking to Wang Jin in a low voice, he said.
"Three points? No, no, this one definitely doesn't work. Chen Zhuo said resolutely. Let's make three points, don't make a fuss, we want 50 percent. Chen Zhuo was a little entangled, facing these two old rivals, it seemed difficult to get fifty percent. I talked about it this afternoon.
"Editor-in-Chief Chen, if we follow the requirements and conditions you said, we really have no way to continue talking. It's just that I want to remind Editor-in-Chief Chen that if you are too greedy, you will be strung to death. Wang Jin retracted the smile on his face and said solemnly. When it comes to the distribution of benefits, everything has to be formal, and affectionate titles have been replaced by formal positions. They are able to negotiate a business involving huge profits in the middle of a conversation, and they can swallow it with a smile even if they suffer a loss, but they don't have this ability.
"Editor-in-Chief Wang, you have to know the price we paid, we risked offending Mr. Lin Feng to carry out this joint publication, and you should already have a sense of the extent to which the income of this book can reach, if you cooperate to carry out the benefits, you should know how much you can get." Chen Zhuo also did not show weakness, all the cards were played together, and it seemed that he was not ready to make concessions at all, and yes, concessions at this time were not only related to the bottom line, but also to economic issues.
"Hehe, what Editor-in-Chief Chen said is right, but I just remembered one thing, Condor Publishing is in short supply, and the starry factory seems to be insufficient." Wang Jin's words were not said very thoroughly, but the meaning is obvious, you can't completely bear the stars of the Condor, can you bear this "Harry Potter"?
"We're not the only three publishers in the Windy Market." Chen Zhuo smiled and said with deep meaning. Anyway, they didn't know that Lin Feng was asking the three of them to unite, so the truth was in their mouths. Information, the first message is always so important.
"Yes, Editor-in-Chief Chen is right, although there are not many large and small publishing houses in Fengshi, there are dozens. If Editor-in-Chief Chen always seeks the help of those small publishing houses, it seems that it will damage the reputation of the No. 1 publishing house in the wind market, and if there are too many people, there will always be miscellaneous mouths, and when there are a number of books with quality problems in the published and distributed books, then the problem will be a big problem. Wang Jin nodded in affirmation and asked another question.
"Bastard bastard." Listening to Wang Jin's words, Chen Zhuo secretly scolded, and he had to scold. The last time Hong Guang and Wang Jin came to the door and wanted to borrow a printing house to Chen Zhuo, they used this sentence to ask for the price.
……
……
Silence, because everyone is silent.
Stalemate because the problem is not resolved.
When it comes to the distribution of interests, stalemate is a common thing, especially economic interests, and time is not an inch of time.
Time has not slowed down because it is not valuable in the eyes of some people, the sun that originally only deviated from the noon line is now close to the horizon, the horizon of the west, the western mountain of the sunset is also ready to collect this light source.
Silently took a sip of water, and Hong Guang, who didn't say much at once, but listened to a lot of words, opened his mouth.
"Let's take a break, since everyone is willing to cooperate, then our conversation should be based on cooperation and have soft consultations."
Chen Zhuo and Wang Jin, who thought that Hong Guang could say something long, were speechless in an instant, it turned out to be nonsense, if it wasn't for cooperation, whoever said so many things, or for some benefits, who was willing to open the hole cards that were originally covered, people were forced to do so.
"Then I don't know what Editor-in-Chief Hong has? What is the consultation method? After complaining about Hongguang, Chen Zhuo smiled and asked.
"We don't discuss the issue of contribution, it's equality, but the distribution of benefits, and I think we still negotiate according to the range of 5 percent on the basis of equal sharing." Hong Guang said lightly.
"Five percent, no, twenty-five percent." Chen Zhuo immediately objected. Although he knew that the bottom line set by him and Hu Haoyu was a little hanging, Chen Zhuo still worked hard. Even if it doesn't work out, it's a sky-high asking price. In life, more room for bargaining is the capital to be comfortable in life and survive.
"No, I can't accept this range." Wang Jin immediately denied.
"Twenty-five percent is too high." Hong Guang also shook his head and said.
"We're negotiating, not qualitative, so it's okay to be higher." Chen Zhuo said. Trying to get by, the larger the range, the greater the likelihood, can you cast a net into a small river and fish it out the same as you cast a net into the sea?
"Hehe, Editor-in-Chief Chen, now it's two to one, and on the basis of our consultation, two to one on certain issues is effective." Hong Guang said lightly.
"Well, I'm suffering a little bit of a loss, twenty percent. I think you should be able to accept this range. Chen Zhuo did not continue to dwell on this range that they could not agree on, but lowered the range of numbers again.
"I still can't accept this, fifteen percent." Wang Jin shook his head and said.
"I mean the same as Editor-in-Chief Wang, I can't accept 20 percent, I can accept 15 percent." Hong Guangchao voted in favor of Wang Jin.
"Fifteen percent, hehe, eighteen percent, my final bottom line, it has to be this range. Otherwise, we can only end here today, and even this matter will end here, and our society is willing to pay for the quality problems of the books that appear. Chen Zhuo picked up the water cup on the table, took a sip of water, and said calmly. With a fearless look, I let it go.
The room entered silence again, Hong Guang and Wang Jin entered a state of thought, and the bottom line on Chen Zhuoming's face seemed to come out.
Chen Zhuo took the manuscripts handed to them back in his hands, flipped them up one by one, and made a sound that was just right, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional?
"Eighteen percent of the range, I agree." Wang Jin nodded.
"I agreed." Hong Guang also followed.
"Alright, let's start the specific negotiations." Chen Zhuo quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
