Chapter 223 One hundred and fifty million

back home!

"Jingle Bell!"

Lin Zhengyi’s big brother rang immediately.

"Hey!"

Lin Zhengyi picked up the answer and said casually,

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am your bank's exclusive customer service. Just now, someone came to redeem a check with a face value of 450,000. We want to verify now. Did you give it to us?" Bank customer service Asked softly.

If the check is of a small denomination, the bank will not call specifically to confirm.

But if it's a large denomination, when someone cashes it, the bank will make a special call to review it to avoid any mistakes, which will cause the user to lose a lot of money and their credibility.

"That's right!"

Lin Zhengyi answered directly.

"Okay, sorry to trouble you!" The bank customer service staff said politely and then hung up the phone.

Lin Zhengyi listened to the "beep" sound on the phone, but thought of something.

"Speaking of which, after I bought these pets, I only have a little over one million left on hand, right?"

His eyes flickered, and he murmured secretly, "It seems that we need to get money quickly and make our wallet bulging, otherwise it will be embarrassing if we encounter some situation that requires money and end up with no money."

Thinking!

He took out a manuscript from the side.

This is the manuscript for Harry Potter 2.

He finished writing it some time ago.

It's just that he wasn't short of money before, so he wasn't in a hurry to take it out, but now he has some thoughts about money, so he took it out.

Immediately, he picked up the phone beside him and dialed.

quickly!

The call was connected.

"Hey!"

Ed's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"it's me!"

Lin Zhengyi said directly.

"Oh!"

Ed immediately recognized Lin Zhengyi's voice, and immediately smiled and said, "It's really strange that you took the initiative to call me!"

After a pause, he spoke again, "But, I just happen to have something to talk to you about!"

"oh?!"

Lin Zhengyi raised his eyebrows, and after thinking about it carefully, he said, "Is it because Harry Potter is sold out and needs to be reprinted?"

He felt that this was all Ed wanted to do with him.

"Haha, you guessed it!"

After Ed said with a smile, he said seriously, "The books currently in the Asian market have been sold out due to adequate publicity and need to be reprinted."

"However, considering that this book can be sold out, the main reason is that you are Asian and have a big publicity point, not the book itself, so this time we will only print an additional 500,000 copies."

"In addition, although the books on the Europa continent and the Americas have not been sold out, they are almost sold out. According to the company's expert evaluation, the sales potential of this book in Europa and the Americas is almost gone, so we only need to add more Just print 1.5 million copies."

"In other words, there will be another two million copies!"

When Lin Zhengyi heard this, he immediately responded, "Two million copies? No problem. Just follow the original process and just fax the contract!"

"no problem!"

Ed immediately agreed.

At this moment, he asked again, "By the way, you took the initiative to call me. Is there something wrong?"

"That's right!"

Lin Zhengyi smiled and agreed, then pretended to be mysterious and said, "But guess what happened?"

"Guess what happened?"

After hearing this, Ed couldn't help but rub his chin and start thinking.

After thinking carefully for a while, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he asked in an excited tone, surprised and delighted, "Is the sequel to Harry Potter finished!?"

Lin Zhengyi immediately smiled and said, "Haha, I really can't hide it from you~ The second part is indeed completed."

The words just fell!

"Please let us publish the second volume!!!" Ed immediately said excitedly. "You were the first person I contacted, so naturally I wanted to publish it for you!"

After Lin Zhengyi said something with a smile, he suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice, "But there are some things I want to say first. There is an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom that brothers should settle accounts clearly. This means that no matter how good the relationship is between people, even if They are blood brothers, and when doing business together, they must keep accounts clear so that there will be no conflicts."

"Of course, we are friends, and it was because you were willing to help me publish in the first place that you saved me a lot of trouble. If the prices were the same, I would definitely choose you!"

Upon hearing this, Ed immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, our company will definitely give you the highest price in the market."

After thinking about it, he said, "How about 17%? I'm sure this is the highest price in the industry!"

Seventeen percent?

Lin Zhengyi couldn't help but nodded as he listened.

This is indeed the highest price in the industry.

Normally, a more powerful person can get 10%, which is the share he gets at the beginning.

But the reason he was able to get 10% in the first place was because of Ed's relationship.

Otherwise, normal authors, especially newcomers, would be fine if they could get three to five percent.

And more than 10% are the top group of people.

Seventeen percent, which is the top among the top. Ordinary publishing companies, even if the first part is a hit, would not dare to directly give such a high treatment to the second part.

Because one movie is a hit and the second movie is a hit, there are countless people.

Not even a publishing company dares to make such a big bet.

And Ed dared to offer such a high price even before reading the manuscript. In addition to wanting to take a gamble, Lin Zhengyi probably also watched the friendship between the two.

Suddenly!

His heart was touched.

Afterwards, Lin Zhengyi said boldly, "However, seventeen percent is too much, let's go to fifteen percent!"

Since others have given me affection, I can't do errands, right?

Let Two Percent, in addition to this affection, also the care that Ed took for him when he first gave me the manuscript, directly printed tens of thousands of copies. It also gave a 10% share that most people in this industry will never get in their lifetime.

"Fifteen is too little, just seventeen, so don't be polite to me!" Ed said sternly.

"I'm not being polite to you. Fifteen is fifteen. If you want seventeen, I will find another publishing company!" Lin Zhengyi said firmly.

As soon as these words came out!

Ed suddenly had no choice.

"Fine!"

He could only agree reluctantly.

However, he was also moved deep in his heart.

Lin Zhengyi took the initiative to give him 2%. This was obviously to repay his old friendship and repay his affection and previous care!

quickly!

Ed passed over the two contracts.

After Lin Zhengyi signed the contract and sent it back, he also faxed the manuscript as soon as possible.

Half a day later!

"It's so wonderful, so wonderful. This second part is so wonderfully written. I think it will definitely become popular again!"

After Ed said excitedly, he added, "After the experts from our company read it, they also found the evaluation very exciting, and felt that relying on the reputation of the previous movie, there will definitely be no success in printing two million copies for the first time." That’s right, even if the public doesn’t approve of its content, it’s easy to sell two million copies based on its previous reputation!”

After a pause, he changed his voice and added, "However, I think this book is so beautiful and will definitely become popular, so I should be more courageous. I asked them to directly sign a contract to print five million copies. When the time comes, it will be sold directly all over the world!”

Hear this!

Even though Lin Zhengyi knew the sales of Harry Potter and knew that even the second volume would be a hit, hearing Ed's trusting words made him feel a little touched in his heart.

Immediately, he said without hesitation, "Okay!"

After that, Ed faxed the contract for Harry Potter 2.

Soon, after Lin Zhengyi signed the contract and faxed it back, his money arrived.

The first part is 10%, and if two million copies are printed, he can get four million pounds.

The second part is at 15%, and if five million copies are printed, he can get fifteen million pounds.

A total of 19 million British pounds, converted to more than 152 million Hong Kong dollars.

Posted again! ! !

This was the only thought left in Lin Zhengyi's mind after receiving the money.
