Chapter 808 (1/2)
The next morning, Xiao Yunhai received a call from Kerry.
When the four major publishing houses saw that the Ku Klux Klan party had not dealt with Xiao Yunhai, they began to solicit relations everywhere and ask for help from Xiao Yunhai.
Two hundred million dollars is still tolerable for them, but it is a little too high with the 500 million plus all the profits of Harry Potter.
Because Hollywood people know that Kerry and Xiao Yunhai have the best relationship, so they look around and finally find Kerry.
Xiao Yunhai told the story of the Ku Klux Klan party. After listening, Kerry said angrily, ”these publishing houses are really thick skinned. Even if they do such things, they still have the face to ask me to intercede with them.”
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, ”Kerry, since they have found you, I will certainly give you this face. Well, let them give me 200 million dollars first, and the remaining 300 million dollars will be deducted from the profits of Harry Potter in the future? ”
Kerry said in surprise, ”God, I heard you right. Are you going to give them some more copies of Harry Potter? ”
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: ”of course. Don't you think it's a good idea? ”
After this incident, the four major publishing houses are absolutely afraid to find their own troubles, let alone steal the sales of Harry Potter.
In this way, compared with Xiao Yunhai looking for other publishers who are not familiar with, naturally, it is more reassuring.
Kerry thought for a moment, and then said with admiration: ”even the world famous four major European publishing houses are played by you in the applause, Xiao, you are really amazing.”
Xiao Yunhai said, ”don't praise me. What about? This good man asked you to do it. Should I have a meal? ”
Kerry laughed and said, ”no problem.”
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yunhai once again met the leaders of the four publishing houses.
At this time, the four people's attitude towards Xiao Yunhai is quite different from that of yesterday. They are very careful, for fear of upsetting Xiao Yunhai.
According to Xiao Yunhai's conditions, the four not only paid $800 million in sealing fees, but also handed him checks for all the profits from Harry Potter and the chamber of Secrets for $980 million. Finally, in the witness of lawyers from both sides, they signed a series of unequal treaties.
Xiao Yunhai looked at the contract, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile to the four: ”I won't give you those things you want for the time being. When to pay off the 300 million dollars owed to me, and when will you send someone to ask me for it. Also, with regard to the future release of Harry Potter, I hope you don't do such stupid things again. ”
Cole, with a mournful face, said, ”don't worry, Mr. Xiao. We won't do that to death.”
After finishing the four major publishing houses, Xiao Yunhai boarded the plane back home with a check of 1.9 billion dollars that night.
At 3:00 p.m. Yanjing time, Xiao Yunhai came out of the airport and saw Li Bing who came to meet him.
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, ”brother Bing, is Wanqing asking you to come here?”
Li Bing nodded and said, ”Miss Zhao asked me to send you directly to your father-in-law.”
The reason why Xiao Yunhai is eager to come back is to celebrate his mother-in-law Yan Piaoyun's birthday. If it wasn't for the four major publishers, I'm afraid Xiao Yunhai would have arrived this morning.
Li Bing sent Xiao Yunhai to Zhao Mingsheng's villa and left.
Xiao Yunhai walked into the living room and saw Zhao Mingsheng sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. He said with a smile, ”Dad, you are back in advance today.”
