Chapter 483 (1/2)
When Rowling heard that Xiao Yunhai praised his novels so much, she was very happy and said, ”thank you for your love for Harry Potter. Are you so confident that this novel will succeed? Seriously, I've lost heart myself
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ”there is an old saying in China that gold always shines. I think Harry Potter is not just a piece of gold, it may even be a gold mine. Would you like to sell it to me, Ms. Rowling? ”
Rowling said, ”of course I would. Mr. Xiao, I have already paid five million dollars for the film adaptation right alone. If it's all copyrights, the price may be higher. ”
Xiao Yunhai said, ”would you please make an offer?”
Rowling thought about it and said, ”I've written five of them, and maybe two more. If you really like it, I'd like to sell it to you for five million dollars. ”
Clighton, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, exclaimed, ”my God, Ms. Rowling, are you not kidding?”
Rowling shook her head and said, ”I never make fun of my Harry Potter.”
For Xiao Yunhai, buying five Harry Potter movies for 25 million dollars is definitely a huge bargain.
But Xiao Yunhai didn't show a rapturous expression. Instead, he suppressed his inner joy and pretended to think about it. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, ”I'll bet this time. Ms. Rowling, twenty five million dollars will do. ”
Kerry opened his eyes and showed an incredible look. He called out to Xiao Yunhai: ”Xiao, you are crazy. You dare to do such business.”
Xiao Yunhai said: ”Kerry, I think the Harry Potter series may spread all over the world.”
Kerry looked like a madman and said, ”you're willing to spend 25 million dollars for a probability that's almost zero. I really don't know what to say to you
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ”it's a gamble. It's my vision that I gamble. If I win, I will get more than 25 million dollars. If you lose, it doesn't matter. The money is nothing to me
Kerry said, ”you are a gambler. As a brother, I can only wish you good luck. ”
Xiao Yunhai said, ”thank you. Ms. Rowling, I would like to remind you that if you really sell me the copyright of Harry Potter for 25 million dollars, you will not get a cent of it even if you make 250 billion dollars. ”
Rowling nodded, ”of course I understand. Mr. Xiao, 25 million dollars is a huge sum of money for me and my children, enough to bring us enviable life. Mr. Xiao, are you really going to spend so much money on my novels
In fact, a Harry Potter movie sells for five million dollars, but Rowling just said it casually. She didn't really want to sell so much.
In her mind, if the five Harry Potter movies could sell for 10 million, it would be very good.
However, Xiao Yunhai did not even return the price, so she readily agreed, which made Rowling feel like she was in a dream.
Xiao Yunhai is also very clear in fact, if he deliberately down the price, in the bottom of society Rowling will certainly agree.
However, Xiao Yunhai is not a profit-seeking person. It has been a huge advantage to get five Harry Potter movies with us $25 million.
If Xiao Yunhai wants to continue to depress the price in this case, his conscience will feel bad.
Therefore, Xiao Yunhai agreed.
Ms. Rowling, if you don't hand in $5 million, we'll pay it back right now
Rowling said happily, ”if so, that would be great.”
Xiao Yunhai said: ”Kerry, your company should have lawyers? Let him help to draw up a contract. ”
Kerry looked at Xiao Yunhai and said, ”I take back the words that you are a good businessman. Also, in my company, please don't tell me what to do
Although Kerry said so, he went out to help Xiao Yunhai find the company lawyer.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yunhai and Rowling signed the agreement, and then Xiao Yunhai borrowed a 25 million check from Kerry and handed it to Rowling.
Rowling took the check, shook hands with Xiao Yunhai and said, ”thank you, Mr. Xiao. You have solved my urgent need.”
Xiao Yunhai said implicitly: ”you are welcome. Maybe I'll thank you in the future
Rowling said with a smile, ”that would be great. Mr. Shaw and Mr. Kerry, I need to go home and take care of the children. Goodbye
”Goodbye.”
After Rowling left, Kerry said, ”Xiao, are you so optimistic about this novel? Seriously, I haven't seen what's good about it after three days of watching it? ”
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ”this is the difference between our writers and you. Kerry, help me find a publishing house. I'm going to promote Harry Potter
Kerry thought about it and said, ”there is a crown press in Hollywood, which is very famous in America. The owner of the publishing house is my good friend, Jesse Bryan. His father just died last month, and now he is in charge of the press. ”Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, ”that's great. In this way, you can help me to make an appointment with him tonight, and I will ask you to have a good time. ”
“OK。” Kerry snapped his finger and said, ”you're ready to be eaten by us.”
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yunhai and Kerry walked into a French restaurant.
Kerry's friend Jesse Bryan has been here a long time ago.
After seeing them, Brian came up and said, ”Kerry, long time no see.”
Kerry hugged him and said with a smile, ”I'm sorry we're late. Let me introduce you to you. This is Yunhai Xiao, a big Chinese star. Xiao, this is Brian
