Chapter 99: The Greed of the Capitalists

"Oh, Miss Yu, I think I saw you, are you wearing a white shirt today?" asked Gao Yaxin as she walked in the direction of Lamborghini. The black Lamborghini Aventador S has a very stylish shape. This made the supervisor Gao Yaxin stand on the side of the road and watch for a long time.

Yu Lu saw Gao Yaxin coming with a smile, so she hung up the phone and waved hello to the woman, "You are Miss Gao on the phone?"

"Hmm... That's right, you're Miss Yu Lu, Miss Yu? and...... Li Hao, Mr. Li?"The overall valuation of Gao Yaxin's Feichuang Literature website is about 216 million yuan, which is at a medium level in terms of scale. In the several groups of copyright projects she received before, most of the customers drove Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and even the most luxurious reception was only more than 3 million Bentleys.

After the two parties confirmed their identities, Gao Yaxin took Li Hao and Yu Lu into the building, and took the elevator to the Feichuang Literature Headquarters on the 26th floor.

Since this time we talked about copyright acquisition, not financing, there was no row of big people in front of the company. Some are just the supervisor Gao Yaxin, who led Li Hao and the two to the conference room to discuss cooperation with a gentle attitude.

In the well-decorated conference room, a middle-aged man in a sky blue shirt and silver-rimmed glasses waited for a long time. The man is the manager of the copyright department, Wan Mingcheng. Sitting next to Wan Mingcheng was his personal assistant, Shi Jie.

As soon as Li Hao appeared at the door of the conference room, he saw Wan Mingcheng sitting in the position, so he smiled and stepped forward to welcome him and said, "Hello, you must be Mr. Li and Miss Yu from Yihao Entertainment who contacted us before, right? I am Wan Mingcheng, the manager of the copyright department of Feichuang Literature Company." ”

"Well, hello, Manager Wan. Li Hao and Yu Lu shook hands with each other one after another, and then the two sat down at the conference table to discuss this copyright cooperation.

"Mr. Li and Miss Yu, I heard that your company took a fancy to the five literary works of our Feichuang Literature website. They are "Peng Jing Meets Love", "Becoming a Ghost", "Love in Every Possible Way", "The Art of the Soul", and "Dream Back to the Three Kingdoms". Before talking about the specific licensing price, I would like to ask Mr. Li and Miss Yu to take a look at such a set of data, especially this historical novel "Dream Back to the Three Kingdoms", its overall data and online popularity are very popular......"

Wan Mingcheng motioned to the assistant to turn on the projector and present all the data of the five online novels to the customer, such as the number of words in the work, the total number of clicks, the number of member clicks, the number of readers' recommended votes, etc. With more and more hot money pouring into the online novel market, the IP adaptation of novels has become one of the most important focuses of all literary websites. After all, the copyright fee of the novel IP can easily be million, or even tens of millions, which can bring great benefits to the website. And adapting a good work can bring great fame to the literary website.

For example, Feichuang Literature's recently sold popular IP "Lonely Fang, Don't Appreciate Yourself", which was successfully made into a TV series, and also invited Zhong Hanliang and Angelababy to play the male and female leads.

As the manager of the copyright department, Wan Mingcheng has been instilling in Li Hao and Yu Lu around topics such as IP adaptation and IP fever, "Spending money to buy copyright is the trend of the moment, and creating a good IP is a win-win ...... for both parties"

Li Hao naturally understood what the other party meant, not so much a win-win situation, but rather a win-win situation, he wanted to create literature and want to sell the copyright of the novel at a high price.

"Manager Wan, everyone knows what you just said, why don't you offer me a price here?" Li Hao didn't bother to negotiate again. This negotiation is different from the last acquisition of an entertainment company, and the mentality of both parties is completely different. The entertainment company is waiting to be sold at a high price, but the boss always has to sell, so when Li Hao spends an extra 3 million, everything will fall into place. And this time to buy the copyright, the other company may choose to be greedy, or it may choose not to sell, even if the copyright is covered for a few years, it may happen.

"Mr. Li, regarding these five works, the price of film and television copyrights, in fact, our Feichuang Literature CEO also attaches great importance to this project. So in terms of price, what do you think your budget is over there? Can you disclose it?" The five literary works, among which "Dream Back to the Three Kingdoms", have investors who have contributed 16 million yuan, and Feichuang Literature has not been sold. Wan Mingcheng, manager of the copyright department, estimated the value of "Dream Back to the Three Kingdoms" at 19 million. As for the other four works selected by Li Hao, they will be sold in packages at a valuation of 1 million each.

Seeing that the other party kicked the ball back again, Li Hao directly used Shenhao's viewing privilege to check the expected valuation of the five works in Feichuang Literature.

Two seconds later, Li Hao got a relevant prompt. I saw him smile after confirming, and then replied to Wan Mingcheng, "Manager Wan, I don't like to talk in circles, the film and television copyrights of these five novels just now, I'm willing to pay 23 million to buy." ”

After Li Hao finished speaking, Wan Mingcheng's eyes lit up slightly. Including Gao Yaxin, the supervisor sitting next to him, couldn't help but look at the manager Wan Mingcheng at this time, wanting to see what the manager would do. Li Hao's offer of 23 million just met the company's expectations. But in the novel "Dream Back to the Three Kingdoms", several film and television companies have recently come to negotiate and contact, looking at the current popularity, the price should still have room to rise.

Because the 23 million project is very important to Feichuang Literature, Wan Mingcheng picked up his mobile phone and said apologetically to Li Hao, "Mr. Li, this, because our boss has also been paying attention to this matter, and today he happened to go on a business trip." Why don't you give me a call right now and get in touch with him?

After Li Hao heard this, he shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't mind. To deal with these capitalists is troublesome, even if the privilege looks at their psychological expectations, but this psychological expectation may become higher because of greed and luck......

Sure enough, as Li Hao expected, when Wan Mingcheng finished the phone call and returned to the conference room, he only saw him apologetically and tried to communicate with Li Hao and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, this... I just finished talking to our boss on the phone, and what he meant was that IP is hot now, especially costume historical dramas like "The Legend of Miyue" and "Langya Bang", all of which were adapted from novels and became popular all over the country. And, let's be honest, there are indeed many film and television companies like yours who have come to our company to negotiate the copyright of "Dream Back to the Three Kingdoms" recently......"
