Section 26 Sales Pitch (II)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"Well, there are two ways. The first way is for you to buy the alchemical installation and the rights to broadcast the film in Tugenhaben, pay for it in a lump sum, and then all the proceeds from the broadcast in the Barlov Theater will go to the Barlov Theater. Wang Qinian said.
"Buy the film and this thing called a projector, which is an alchemical device, it shouldn't be cheap, right?" said Thor.
"Oh, as a partner, if you buy a projector, we're going to sell it to you at cost at a big discount. Wang Qinianxun quoted a price, of course, this cannot be the real cost price.
"Actually, if Mr. Baroff's theater wants to run the screening of Shadow Animation for a long time, it is definitely more cost-effective to buy it than the second way." ”
"Can you say the second way?" Thor shook his head imperceptibly, but in his heart he had already temporarily vetoed Wang Qinian's construction, because as a partner, he would give you a large discount and only sell it to you at cost price, and he seemed to have said it to others when he helped Viscount Baroff take care of other transactions before.
"The second way is that the projector and the film are rented, you can rent it for a month or two to show the film, and we will send a person to be stationed in the theater during the screening, and the film will be kept by him, and he will take it back when the broadcast period is up. However, the revenue of each ticket is divided according to the agreed proportion, and the rental of the projector is calculated separately. ”
Thor pondered for a moment and said, "If I had to choose, I would choose the second way, and of course when I report to Mr. Baroff, I will report the first way at the same time." So, what if it's divided, and everyone has half of it?"
"If the theater is willing to do additional publicity for the Shadow Animation, I can accept a five-to-five split on behalf of Salomon on behalf of Solomon, but if the theater doesn't advertise it additionally, then I'm very sorry that I can only accept a seven-to-three split. ”
The two negotiated word by word, and finally reached an intention, if the Barlov side accepted the split plan, on the premise of additional publicity for the Shadow Animation, the two sides would share it in a ratio of five to five.
Thor is willing to accept this ratio because he thinks that although the additional publicity will increase the cost, if the box office revenue of Shadow Animation increases significantly, then it will also be reflected in the share.
Finally, the two sides shook hands, and Wang Qinian left the theater.
It was not surprising to him that the Barlov Theater would choose the second way, and even at first he thought that this was the most likely.
After all, the Shadow Animation is something that has not been done before, and as a businessman, they will definitely be cautious, and they will only completely change their opinion when it can bring them huge profits now.
In fact, in the world before the crossing, aren't theater companies also used to box office sharing?
-----------
When Wang Qinian returned to the hotel after selling the Shadow Animation, Old John was already in the room.
However, his state didn't seem to be very good, as if he was frightened, and it was not natural to see Wang Qinian come back.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that he was in a different state, Wang Qinian was inconvenient to reprimand, and asked with concern.
"I, I've met skeletons. Old John swallowed.
"Skeletons, you mean the people of the Dark Merchant Corps?" Wang Qinian suddenly came to his senses.
"Yes, it's Tigan, the Slave Governor of the Regiment, who I've seen once before, and once with Cockran. Today you asked me to go to the theater in Tugenhaben, and I met him again on the street, far away, I don't know if he recognized me, but I didn't dare to come back directly, I hid for a long time, and I didn't dare to come back until it was dark. Old John said incoherently.
"Tiagan. Wang Qinian read the name softly, "Don't go out again, I'm the same, fortunately, I have already done the theater today." If the other party is willing to cooperate, they will come to the hotel to find me in two or three days, and if they don't come after three days, we will leave immediately. ”
The best course of action is undoubtedly to leave now and rush back to the Free City.
As Wang Qinian began to be reused in the City of Freedom, the City of Freedom was definitely willing to shelter him.
Whether the potential power of the dark merchant is stronger than that of the free city, no one knows, maybe the free city is not as good as that Mr. Duncan, but near the scope of the free city's rule, just to keep Wang Qinian, it should still be possible, after all, the merchant will not do loss-making business, if the dark merchant wants to fight with the free city for Wang Qinian, the price paid will definitely not be too small, and the free city has its own military strength.
But the cooperation with the Barlov Theater has just begun, and Wang Qinian is reluctant to leave at this critical time, so he decides to take the risk of staying for a few more days.
Since Wang Qinian has decided, Old John does not dare to object, and the other slave catcher team member does not know what happened, but Wang Qinian is not ready to sue him, anyway, he should not have seen the Tygan mage, if he needs to show up these days, he will do it for him.
Wang Qinian's adventure paid off two days later, when Mr. Thor came to the inn and conveyed Mr. Barlov's intentions, agreeing to rent a projector and two films, the rent of which was set at one hundred Modo silver coins per month for two months, and the rental period began after one month, and the income from the film was shared, and Baroff promised to promote it in Tugenhaben in addition.
At this time, Wang Qinian learned that Mr. Baroff was actually Thor's brother-in-law, and he brought the contract with Mr. Baroff's signature, and Wang Qinian immediately decided to sign the contract.
If it is a long-term contract, Wang Qinian's plan is to sign a magic contract with the other party, but this is only a short-term contract, although it is a bit risky to rent the projector without collateral, but Wang Qinian has confidence in the Shadow Animation, if Baroff is a shrewd businessman, he should not make any short-sighted behavior, and after two months, maybe the other party will take the initiative to ask for a long-term cooperation treaty, or even choose the first way instead.
After the deal was reached, Wang Qinian immediately asked the slave catcher who came with him to go to the post station to retrieve the carriage, and then let the slave catcher stay at the Barlov Theater to record the number of screenings, the number of moviegoers and the ticket price, and the Salomon Company will share it with the theater accordingly.
As for the screening, because Wang Qinian was in a hurry to go back, he had to hire a magic apprentice from the Barov side to the Magicians' Guild to come to the hotel, and Wang Qinian taught him how to use the projector.
At this point, the things that came to Tugenhaben are all done, and if it is not for the accidental collision with Tigan, facing the danger of exposing his identity, Yiqiē is more complete.
After they left, Wang Qinian and Old John immediately left the inn, drove the carriage out of the city, and returned to the city of freedom.
-----
Just as Wang Qinian and the others were leaving the city, somewhere in the city, in an extremely luxuriously furnished room, the magician Tiegan also received news about Wang Qinian's departure from the city.
"Well, I've finally found them, not just one or two slave catchers, but also a magic apprentice, could it be the one who was bought by the Corps as a disciple of Master Zanzi?"
"Mage Tigan, you already have the information you want us to listen to. A large man entered the room with permission, and respectfully handed over the information Tiegan needed.
"He's been to the Magic Guild's chapter in Mordo, he's been to Barlov's theater, what the hell is he doing, what's the connection?"
"Mage, they're out of town. ”
"Pick a group of men at once, chase them, I want to live, and from their mouths, I want to know the whereabouts of Cocorran. ”
"Yes. Dahan left the room and prepared to go.
Dahan is a gangster in the city, Tigan, as a sixth-level mage, and with the support of the dark merchant Duncan, he has long used money and violence to buy a group of villains in Tugenhaben to do things for him, although these people are not as strong as regular soldiers, but the number is about two hundred.
"As for the second report, I'll wait until I catch someone to come back and write it. ”
Tygan finally decided that he would write his first report after John Sr., reporting to the General Mission in Titania the traces of the former members of the Cockland Slave Catcher.
It's just that I didn't expect that there would be unexpected news of the monitors who were bought before, Wang Qinian, as a secret monitor, has backups in the general group and him, but the affairs of the general group are so busy, if it weren't for the disappearance of the entire team of Corcoran this time, he wouldn't pay too much attention to a small role like Wang Qinian.
But in Tiagan's hands, he will pay attention, because he is only in charge of the affairs of a region, and the disappearance of the entire team of Corcoran is already a big deal for him, if the truth of the disappearance cannot be found out within the year, I am afraid that the assessment in the general regiment will greatly lose points, which will not only affect his income, but will also be punished by the dark merchant.
Therefore, he paid attention to people or things related to the Cockland slave catcher, he had not seen Owen * Solomon, but since he appeared next to Old John, coupled with the information about Owen, he could basically conclude that it was secretly bribed by the general group in the intelligence to watch.
Now there is no sign that Tuxman, the watcher on the surface, can not return any news, and the appearance of Old John and the secretly bought watchman but the ghost Chong has basically made him conclude that there is something wrong with the slave catcher, and someone may want to betray Mr. Duncan, but the details of the matter can only be clarified after these two targets are caught.
"Cockran, Zanzie, which of you is playing tricks, or is it the two of you who want to play a game with Mr. Duncan? Murder flashed through Tiagan's eyes. PS: There's something going on tonight too, right now.
