Chapter 149: Meng Ke's Faith
Arrived in the magic capital, arrived at the three-star hotel that had been booked haode.
Xiao Fang first called Wang Suifeng and asked him to get him a car. Originally, I went to check out the miracle company, but when I thought that I wanted to be a writer behind the scenes, Xiao Fang broke off this idea again.
Last time, I suffered from not having a car, so this time, Xiao Fang first got the car done.
Xiao Fang's second call was to the editor Xiao Tangtang, telling her that she had arrived in the magic capital, and that she could find a time to talk about the contract for "The Legend of King Lanluo" or "Bernard's Festival".
The third call Xiao Fang called Tian Qing, no matter what, I still have to say hello when I come here, plus the uncle Li Xiao Fang hasn't figured out the situation last time, so I have to understand it carefully, and it seems that I still owe her a meal.
On the fourth call, Xiao Fang called Zhu Zhifei. came to the magic capital, and had to attend the signing ceremony, this thing can't be covered up. Therefore, these students still have to contact again.
After four phone calls, Xiao Fang suddenly found that in addition to contacting the company, it was not necessary to contact the company, and he would probably have to make these three calls every time he came in the future.
After receiving Xiao Fang's call, Xiao Tangtang immediately reported the news of Xiao Fang's arrival in the Demon Capital to Meng Ke.
Meng Ke was not surprised by this news, after all, the contract was going to be signed in two days, and if Xiao Fang was not present, this would be an abnormal thing.
It's just that Meng Ke actually has a lot of ideas in mind about the book "Bernard's Grand Ceremony". Although the book has caused a lot of controversy about the vampire creature in terms of setting, there is no doubt about it. Bernard's Extravaganza is a book worth holding on to with all your might.
According to the information obtained by Meng Ke, the readership of this book has expanded from readers who like online books to traditional readers, and from domestic to foreign countries.
"Bernard's Ceremony" can become a classic book of Eastern and Western cultures, compared to "The Legend of King Lanlo", this book may be less entertaining, but more classic elements. This is definitely a landmark work, the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, the integration of the Internet and tradition, and the subversion of the vampire setting, in Meng Ke's opinion. This book is more valuable than "The Legend of King Lanluo"!
And for Diandian.com. If you can catch "Bernard's Festival", you can take Diandianwang to a new peak!
However, Xiao Yao will definitely not put this book in his eyes, at the same time. It's impossible for Xiao Fang to sell this book to Diandian.com!
The reason why Xiao Fang was published on Diandian.com. It is only a contract to fulfill the priority of the next work.
Meng Ke suddenly felt a little disgusted with his own eyes. If you can't see that "Bernard's Grand Ceremony" can bring greater glory to Diandian.com, Meng Ke may be able to rest easy, but. It was precisely because he saw it that Meng Ke seemed unable to let go.
If you are the president of Diandian.com, if you ......
said that if it was obvious that it was a blow to himself, in the end, Meng Ke still decided to discuss with Yao Shi and save it, he must fulfill the obligation to remind, if Xiao Yao still can't see clearly, maybe, Meng Ke will suggest that Lao Yao change the president.
After so long, Meng Ke can also see that Xiaoyao is indeed suitable for playing finance, not for playing the cultural industry.
"Editor-in-Chief Meng, I don't know if there is anything I need to discuss?" Yao Shi sat in the boss's chair and said to Meng Ke with a calm expression. Yao Shi has no bad feelings towards Meng Ke, but sometimes Meng Ke's way of doing things does make him feel unhappy.
It's not unpleasant, but Yao Shi knows that Meng Ke is working hard for the sake of Diandian Culture Company, so as a leader, his metrics are still enough.
"Mr. Yao, Xiao Fang has arrived in the magic capital. Tomorrow you will talk to us about the contract. Meng Ke sat on the chair opposite the large desk and said equally naturally.
"Oh." When Yao Shi heard the news, his brows rippled slightly, and now, he felt very unhappy when he heard the name Xiao Fang. His natural instinct told him that Xiao Fang was his enemy! What's more, he let himself suffer such a big failure last time!
Yao Shi also knew that this kind of emotional use was wrong, but when things came to this point, Yao Shi didn't have such a big measure to tolerate Xiao Fang's presumptuousness, after all, he was the legal heir of hundreds of billions of assets, and Xiao Fang was just a little writer with hundreds of millions of assets.
"Mr. Yao, listening to his meaning, it seems that he wants to revise the contract of the book "Bernard's Grand Ceremony". I think the book is commercially valuable, and we'd better take all the rights to it. Meng saw that Yao Shi frowned and thought, and after not replying for a while, he opened his mouth to put forward his opinion.
Hearing this, Yao Shi raised his eyebrows, looked at Meng Ke, and asked, "Editor-in-chief Meng, you probably know that I am very unhappy with Xiao Fang. Although it is true that this is my personal factor, but in the same way, he will leave Diandianwang after this book, and he will definitely be our enemy in the future. Do you think it's necessary for us to spend a lot of money on his books? This is obviously to raise his value! In the future, he will publish books on other websites, and the higher his worth, the more he will pose a threat to us. ”
Hearing this, Meng Ke did not shy away from it, and analyzed in detail: "Mr. Yao, your consideration is not unreasonable. However, we are the dream factory of Chinese online literature, and we are still the leader of online literature websites, and we have never relied on any writer to support the website. We have the largest number of VIP readers in China, the largest number of online writers, and our website interface and other accessibility systems are the most accepted by readers. We don't depend on a single writer for our development, but we have to seize every book that may bring us unlimited commercial value! ”
"You mean the book 'Bernard's Extravaganza' has a high commercial value?" Yao Shi asked with a slight puzzlement. In terms of finance, he can throw Meng Ke a few streets, but in terms of his vision for online literature, Meng Ke can also throw him a few streets. Therefore, on this issue, Yao Shi still attaches great importance to Meng Ke's views.
"Mr. Yao. You must know that Xiao Fang has gained a lot of popularity in Europe and the United States through the book "The Legend of King Lanluo". And now, the book "Bernard's Extravaganza" has also led to a significant increase in foreign IPs visiting our website. This has greatly increased the international visibility of our Diandian.com. Xiao Fang's book not only takes into account the cultural traditions of the West and the East. He has made a great breakthrough in the style of writing, he is almost comparable to linguists in terms of the accuracy of the use of words, and at the same time, the story of this book is full of ups and downs, and the speed of online text and the delicacy of literature are almost closely combined, this is a novel that is bound to become a classic literature! In my opinion, this book must be a book that surpasses "The Legend of King Lanluo" in all aspects! So, we have to do our best to get the copyright of this book! Meng Ke can be said to have said to Yao Shi from the bottom of his heart. As an editor-in-chief with a strong business vision, it is definitely a big sin to see this book slip away in my own hands! In Meng Ke's opinion. Grab the book. It's like grabbing a cornucopia.
Hearing Meng Ke's admiration for this book, Yao Shi's heart was even more unhappy. However, he really had no reason to refute Meng Ke's words, after all, he didn't have a deep understanding of this business. What can compare to Meng Ke's decades of experience in this industry.
Yao Shi rested his right hand on the polished table. Gently tapping his fingers. After thinking for a while, he sighed and said, "Okay, I believe in Editor-in-Chief Meng's vision." Your editorial department will talk about it. I asked the legal department to cooperate with you, if Xiao Fang sells all the copyrights to us, and you open the price, my bottom line is 500 million Huaxia coins, if he opens his mouth to exceed this price, then forget it! However, Editor-in-Chief Meng, since you respect this book so much, then you are also responsible for the development of the commercial value of this book, and if you make money, you have independent project dividends, but if you lose money, you have to talk about it. You also know that I was already unhappy with Xiao Fang, and making such a decision is already a concession. ”
Hearing this, Meng Ke was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but want to ask: Is this company my or yours?
500 million Huaxia coins to buy all the copyrights of "Bernard's Festival"?
I've already said that this book is a book that surpasses "The Legend of King Lanluo"! "The Legend of King Lanluo" alone has already brought Xiao Fang almost 500 million in income!
After thinking for a while, Meng Ke quickly stiffened his head and said: "Mr. Yao, I think the price of 500 million is a little lower, do you raise some ceilings?" I use my vision as a guarantee to make the company profitable! ”
Yao Shi looked at Meng Ke steadily, as if he wanted to see Meng Ke clearly, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Editor-in-Chief Meng, do you know what it means to buy all the copyrights of a book with 500 million Huaxia coins?" ”
"I know." Meng Ke responded immediately. The copyright transaction record of 200 million was created by their company, how could he not know! And now, the upcoming signing with Imperial Film and Television will raise this record to more than 300 million!
"You still think the ceiling should be raised?" Yao Shi asked lightly.
"Yes." Meng Ke still continued to insist.
"In that case, you'll have to sign a special contract with the company, which is the equivalent of a military order! The upper limit I give on behalf of the company is 500 million, even if it is a loss, I am responsible, and the company is responsible. But more than 500 million, you are personally responsible? In proportion, if you make a profit, all of that goes to you, but if the book loses, you have to be responsible for compensating the company! "Yao Shi has long been unaccustomed to Meng Ke raising the price of Xiao Fang's book like this, in China, the copyright of 500 million to buy a book is already considered to be the sky! After all, after buying, all the risks are transferred to the company.
After buying the copyright of a book, the subsequent profits are all based on vision and luck, as well as the result of the company's commercial operation.
Putting aside personal likes and dislikes, even from the company's point of view, Yao Shi will not be able to raise the ceiling again! This is tantamount to pinning all hope on Meng Ke's vision.
Although Meng Ke's vision is indeed very powerful, who can guarantee that Meng Ke will always be right? Meng Ke is also dozens of years old now...... Therefore, Yao Shi must control the risk.
Hearing Yao Shi's words, Meng Ke's heart also began to struggle, more than 500 million, if it is really a loss, then you have to compensate the company yourself, this price is really big! Meng's estimated price is between 600 million and 800 million! If it really reaches the transaction price of 800 million......
Meng Ke struggled for several minutes.
Yao Shi didn't urge, but he hoped that Meng Ke would give up, because this at least proved that Xiao Fang's book was not as good as Meng Ke imagined!
Meng Ke thought for a long time, and suddenly sighed inexplicably: "When did you start not believing in yourself?" ”
Thinking of this, Meng Ke looked at Yao Shi calmly with firmness, and said categorically: "Mr. Yao, just do as you say!" (To be continued......)
