I'm a chaebol in South Korea

Chapter 129 Copyright Versus Gambling
Moldy Country, New York.

Claire Wogan has just concluded the ultimate negotiation with Random House, reaching a result that both parties are satisfied with.

Random House will publish the English version of "Fifty Shades of Grey" as an agent, and will give 7% of the copyright fee.

The minimum copyright fee in the United States is 5%, and the maximum is 10%, except for some well-known authors who dominate the best-selling list all the year round, and they have additional bargaining power.

Generally speaking, Random House’s treatment for newcomers does not exceed 6%, that is to say, a book is priced at 25 US dollars, and the author can receive 1.5 US dollars in copyright fees after it is sold.

Claire was able to secure 7% favorable conditions for him, which was enough to prove her excellence and persuasiveness.

In addition, she also wagered with Random House.

The sales of "Fifty Shades of Grey" exceeded 50 copies, and Li Zhenyu's copyright fee increased by 1%.

If the number of copies reaches 500 million, the copyright fee will increase again by 1%. If it exceeds 1000 million copies, Random House is willing to give him the highest treatment, a 10% copyright fee.

Taking 1000 million copies as an example, the income gap is as high as more than 700 million US dollars, 100 billion won.

This is Li Zhenyu giving up the 'prepayment for the first 20 volumes,' Claire argues, and the bet is relatively large...

In fact, it is more like a kind of arrogance of a newcomer who is not clear about self-awareness, and the best terms obtained under the premise of comprehensive factors.

"Boss, live up to your trust, you should raise my salary." Claire, who passed the news to him, tested his attitude in a joking tone.

"How about 10%, there is no law firm representing U·L·I·T's overseas business, maybe we will consider Baker McKenzie."

Clyde's heart suddenly missed a beat. If she can win the official agency of U·L·I·T's overseas legal consulting, she can completely request to be transferred back to work at the headquarters.

And, in the same senior partner status as now.

"Boss, I will take it seriously."

"Perhaps it is possible."

Li Zhenyu threw out a piece of pie that had been painted, and it was up to Claire to choose whether to take the bait or not.

As for whether this pie is a mirage, or whether it is really possible, it all depends on her next performance.

Opportunities are won, and those who can grasp them are opportunities. If they cannot be grasped, don't blame them for slipping away quietly.

"After T-ara's debut stage is over, I'm going to fly to the country, and the company will be in charge of you."

Facebook's financing will be imminent, and Li Zhenyu has to rush to make an early appearance, and get acquainted with many bigwigs first.

Don't wait to go to a meeting and feel isolated like a loner.

After greeting Yin Huina in advance, Li Zhenyu contacted Zhao Yingjun to get him ready to go.

"Brother, when you come to New York, you must try the big ocean horse there, it's amazing!"

"...Hey, Xiba!"

"Just kidding, I will assist Shuanglong to complete the docking with BYD as soon as possible..."

After reaching a cooperation agreement with the other party, the first thing the two parties have to do is to establish a research institute and a production plant in Yanguo to jointly develop new energy sources.

As for why Yan Country was chosen, Li Zhenyu could list dozens of irrefutable reasons.

Cheap labor, cheap land, capital and policy preference, all-round care for foreign capital, etc., all of these are realities.

With the current situation of Shuanglong Motors, it is impossible to bear more huge debts and buy high-priced land to invest in the future.

That way, the future has already become history before it is seen.

"By the way, Hyundai also announced that it will consider establishing a parts factory in Yanguo to provide customers with faster and more efficient all-round services."

"Don't worry about it, when it really decides to invest, it will be too late."

Besides, the location they chose was in the Pearl River Delta near the sea. How can other places compete for it?

Let Zhao Yingjun put his heart back in his stomach, Li Zhenyu hung up the phone, and dialed Dennis Hall's number again.

"Dear Mr. Li Zhenyu, I am very glad to receive your call again. How can I help you?"

There was a strange woman's voice on the phone, "I'm looking for Dennis, he is my personal consultant."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, Mr. Dennis is not here temporarily. But I can contact him now and ask him to reply you as soon as possible. Of course, you can also ask me to help you with some simple questions."

"No, please ask him to reply to me as soon as possible." Li Zhenyu didn't feel angry because everyone needs to rest, and Dennis is no exception.

The next moment, Wells Fargo showed its professionalism as a banking giant, and Dennis called back, just one minute later.

"Dennis, I need to know how much money is in my account, the detailed figures."

"Wait a moment, I'll check it out for you now."

"Mr. Li, the current balance of your account is 18.356 billion US dollars, do you need to be accurate to single digits for you?"

"That's not necessary. I will fly to the country in the near future, and a large amount of funds will be mobilized at that time. Please help me prepare in advance and complete the necessary procedures as soon as possible."

Li Zhenyu's account was originally only 8.5 million US dollars, and the acquisition of 0.3% of Berkshire Hathaway's shares cost 3.13 million US dollars, leaving only 5.35 million US dollars.

The extra 13 billion is the follow-up income provided by the sub-mortgage crisis.

As long as this crisis does not end, the market will provide him with a steady stream of follow-up income.

In fact, due to various considerations, Li Zhenyu has shown extra restraint.

If he completely lets go, the proceeds of US$8.5 million in the early stage will not be transferred to Wells Fargo by him, but will be put into the market again for operation.

In this way, he can rake in at least tens of billions of dollars in this crisis.

But what followed was successive bombings from the Blue House, CIA, and IRS.

There is a high probability that the media in the country will also hype wildly, about a hateful story about a Korean-American eating bloody steamed buns in a crisis.

Don't overestimate the moral bottom line of Wall Street wolves. When necessary, they can lower the bottom line to let the devil call: God!

In the end, he will be invited to drink coffee, and even if Lao Qiu comes forward, he will have to shed a layer of skin. '

Instead of doing this, it is better to take the initiative to give up the interests that cannot be grasped, and sell favors to all parties.

It's also good to give Pierce and David of the 'Department of Commerce' a long vacation, and don't have to come here to conduct any boring investigations.

FK, damn Xiao Xiba is really weak!

I believe that Lao Qiu will not let go of such a good opportunity, and he should seek some benefits from them.

It's a pity that his level is too low, and he is not qualified enough to be taken seriously by the real boss, "This time, I can only take advantage of Lao Qiu." '

"Okay, I'll get it done by tomorrow, I hope it won't inconvenience you."

"That's enough, thank you, Dennis."

"You are too kind. It is an honor for me and Fuguo to serve you. I wish you a wonderful night."

"You too."
