Chapter 127: Copyright Gambling
Mildew Country, New York.
Claire Wogan has just concluded final negotiations with Random House, reaching a mutually satisfactory outcome.
Random House will distribute the English version of "Fifty Shades of Grey" for a 7 percent royalty.
Royalties in the United States range from a minimum of 5 percent to a maximum of 10 percent, with the exception of certain established authors who dominate the bestseller lists for years, who have additional bargaining power.
In general, Random House gives newcomers no more than 6 percent, which means that the author receives a $1.50 royalty when a book sells for $25.
Claire was able to get him an excellent 7 percent offer, enough to prove her excellence and persuasion.
In addition, she has a bet against Random House.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" sales exceeded 500,000 copies, Lee Zhenyu can get a 1 percent increase in royalties.
If he reaches 5 million copies, the royalties increase by another 1 percent, and if he exceeds 10 million copies, Random House is willing to give him the highest deal, a 10 percent royalty.
In the case of 10 million copies, the revenue gap is as high as 7 million dollars and 10 billion won.
This is Li Zhenyu to give up the "first 200,000 book advance," Claire's argument, the amount of gambling is larger...
In fact, it is more like a new person's arrogance of unclear self-cognition, and other comprehensive factors as the premise of the background, to win the best terms.
"BOSS, as expected, you should give me a raise." Claire, who passed the message to him, tested his attitude with a joking tone.
"How about 10 percent? No firm has represented U. L.I.T. overseas. Maybe we'll look at BakerMcKenzie."
Clyde's heart, missing a beat, could have asked for a transfer back to headquarters if she'd been officially represented by U.L.I.T. 's overseas counsel.
And in the same senior partner capacity as we have now.
"BOSS, I'll take it seriously."
"Maybe it is."
Li Zhenyu threw out a piece of painted bread, want to take the bait to see Claire's own choice.
As to whether this cake is a mirage or really possible, it all depends on her next performance.
Opportunity is to fight for, seize is the opportunity, don't blame it slipped away.
"After T-ara's debut, I will fly to the country and you will be in charge of the company."
Facebook's financing will be imminent, Li Zhenyu also want to rush to debut in advance, first and many big guys mix face familiar.
Don't go to a meeting and be left out like a loner.
In advance and Yin Huina said hello, Li Zhenyu and contact Zhao Yingjun, let him be ready to start.
"Brother, when you get to New York, you have to try the ocean horse there, it's amazing!"
"... Ah, Sibi!"
"Just kidding, I will assist Shuanglong and BYD to complete the docking as soon as possible..."
After reaching a cooperation agreement with the other side, the first thing the two sides should do is to establish research institutes and production plants in the country of inflammation, and jointly develop new energy.
As for why he chose the country of Yan, Li Zhenyu can list dozens of reasons that people can not refute.
Cheap labor, cheap land, capital and policy inclinations, comprehensive care for foreign investment, and so on, these are the reality.
In the current situation, Shuanglong Motor can no longer take on more huge debts and buy high-priced land to invest in the future.
That way, the future is history before it's even seen.
"By the way, Hyundai has also announced that it will consider setting up a parts factory in China to provide customers with a faster and more efficient full range of services."
"Don't worry about it. By the time it does decide to invest, it's too late."
Moreover, the location they have chosen is in the Pearl River Delta coastal area, so what other places can compete with them?
Let Zhao Yingjun put his heart back in his stomach, Li Zhenyu hung up the phone, and dialed Dennis Hall's number.
"Dear Mr. Li Zhenyu, I'm glad to hear from you again. May I help you?"
A strange woman's voice on the line said, "I'm looking for Dennis. He's my personal advisor."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lee, but Mr. Dennis is not here at the moment. But I can contact him now and ask him to get back to you as soon as possible. Of course, you can also ask me to help you with some simple questions."
"No, please have him reply to me as soon as possible." Li Zhenyu did not feel angry because everyone needs to rest, and Dennis is no exception.
The next moment, Wells Fargo was showing its professionalism as a banking giant, and Dennis' call came back, barely a minute later.
"Dennis, I need to know how much money I have in my account, the details."
"Just a moment, please. I'll check for you now."
"Mr. Li, your current balance in your account is $1,855.6 million, do you need to be accurate to single digits for you?"
"That's not necessary. I will fly to Mildew in the near future, and a large amount of funds will be mobilized at that time. Please help me prepare in advance and handle the necessary procedures as soon as possible."
Mr. Lee, who had only $850 million in his account, spent $313 million to buy a 0.3 percent stake in Berkshire Hathaway, leaving him with $535 million.
The extra $1.3 billion is a follow-up to the mortgage crisis.
As long as this crisis is not over, the market will provide him with a steady stream of subsequent gains.
In fact, for many reasons, Li Zhenyu has shown extra restraint.
If fully free, the initial $850 million of earnings will not be transferred to Wells Fargo, but once again invested in the market for operation.
That way, he can rake in at least ten billion dollars in this crisis.
Then came the barrage of attacks from the Blue House, the CIA and the IRS.
Mildew national media will probably also be crazy hype, about a KoreAn-American in the crisis to eat blood steamed bread hateful story.
Never overestimate the moral limits of Wall Street jackals, who, when necessary, can lower them to the point where the devil cries out: God!
Finally, he will be invited to drink coffee, and even if the old Qiu comes forward, he will have to take off a layer of "skin." '
Rather than this, it is better to take the initiative to give up the interests that cannot be held, and sell personal feelings to all parties.
It would be nice for Pierce and David from the Commerce Department to take a long vacation and not have to come down here and conduct some boring investigation.
F-K, that fucking Shihachi is so lame!
I believe that the old Qiu will not let go of such a good opportunity, the total should find them points of benefit is.
Unfortunately, his level is too low, not qualified to let the real big boss face, 'This time, only cheap old Qiu.' '
"Yes, I'll have it done by tomorrow. I hope it won't inconvenience you."
"That's enough, thank you Dennis."
"You are very kind. It is my honor and the honor of Fuguo to serve you. I wish you a good evening."
"And so are you."
