Chapter 133 Transferring "Looking for the Qin Dynasty" (third shift)

In other words, the master Jin Yong urged Chen Xiaotang to update his serial novel "Looking for Qin Ji" in "Ming Pao" as soon as possible, but Chen Xiaotang proposed to transfer the copyright of this novel, saying that he did not have enough time and energy to continue writing.

Faced with this situation, Master Jin Yong couldn't help being surprised and delighted, and couldn't help asking: "Xiaotang, are you serious?"

Chen Xiaotang nodded and said, "Of course it's true, it's just about the price---"

"It's easy to talk about the price!" Jin Yong smiled slightly. He was really interested in this serialized novel. According to his point of view, if this book is completed, it will be called a new milestone in the history of martial arts novels.

"Don't forget that besides being able to write books, I'm also a very successful businessman." Jin Yong said with some pride, and then said with a straight face: "Xiaotang, I've been calculated by someone. The number of updated words is about 35, and the average monthly remuneration is [-] Hong Kong dollars. According to the writing outline you gave, this book can continue to be written for five years, five years and [-] months, and [-] per month. More than [-] yuan! When the draft is officially completed, the copyright fee for the film and television will be a very substantial income. Don’t you think it’s a pity to transfer the copyright now?”

"Hehe, I understand my situation, and now writing a book is absolutely difficult... Besides, my focus is on acting, which is my favorite, so I will never regret it!" Chen Xiaotang replied with certainty.

"In that case, if you make an offer, I'll see if I can answer you right away..." Jin Yong is worthy of doing great things. He also said just now that although he is a literati, he is also a businessman. In his heart, Jin Yong I have already calculated the value of the gold mine that can be "mined" by this book.The copyright of future film and television adaptations alone will be a huge fortune - Jin Yong believes that he knows the copyright better than anyone else.So he immediately made up his mind that it was better to do it now without delay, lest the young man regret it.

At this moment, Jin Yong looked at Chen Xiaotang firmly. He thought that Chen Xiaotang would raise the price immediately, but he was wrong. Chen Xiaotang's mouth curled up slightly and said, "I didn't intend to ask for your money..."

As soon as these words came out, Jin Yong was stunned: "You don't want money? Then what do you want?"

"Hehe, I want to exchange it for some shares in your company!" Chen Xiaotang said easily.He is not a fool, he fully knows the value of his novel. In his previous life, this novel alone made the author a millionaire. At this time, Xiangjiang in the 80s was the most prosperous time for martial arts novels. The novel has only just started, and 10 manuscript fees have been entered into the account. One can imagine how much appreciation potential a novel has...

Now that I use such a big "benefit" to invest in Jin Yong's "Ming Pao", Chen Xiaotang believes that the other party will definitely not refuse.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Jin Yong laughed.

He didn't expect that the young man would be interested in his company.

You must know that the sales volume of "Ming Pao" has been good in recent years, but it is not a sweet potato. There are too many newspapers and magazines on it, such as "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily" and so on.However, Chen Xiaotang indicated that he would exchange for some shares, and seemed to be very optimistic about his company, which made him a little puzzled.

How did Jin Yong know that Chen Xiaotang's "eyes are as bright as a torch", but Chen Xiaotang clearly knows that in the future, "Ming Pao"'s performance will soar and its stock price will soar. newspaper giant.

It is only eight or three years now, and Chen Xiaotang has reason to believe that as long as he becomes a shareholder of this company, he will definitely be able to make a fortune in the future.

"Mr. Chen, you have to think carefully. Even if you ask me for a transfer fee of 60 yuan, I will give it to you, but you want shares..." Jin Yong asked tentatively.

60 Hong Kong dollars? !

Xiangjiang in this era can be said to be sky-high.In terms of its value, it is enough to buy a nice building.

So Liu Dehua next to him couldn't sit still, coughed, and elbowed Chen Xiaotang next to him: "Hey, Ah Tang, you must think carefully."

At this moment, Chen Xiaotang is also thinking carefully, should he sell it or not?If you sell it, you can directly improve your current life and make yourself more comfortable. If you don’t sell it, you can buy shares in Ming Pao according to the plan, and you will definitely make a lot of money in the future.

Chen Xiaotang is not the kind of person who is content with pleasure, he is a gambler with plans, so after hesitating for less than a minute, he smiled, and directly took out the follow-up outline of the novel he dared to write last night, and handed it to Jin Yongdao: "This is the outline of the follow-up story. I spent a whole night writing it out. Doesn't this show my sincerity?"

Jin Yong took the outline handed over by Chen Xiaotang, looked at it carefully, and said, "I believe you! You are sincere, and you can tell from the content of the outline you wrote!"

After a pause, "It's just that the shares you asked for...I can only give you [-]% of the shares..." began to bargain.

60, only [-]% of the shares?

His uncle, no wonder this Jin Yong can make a fortune, and his small calculations are so crunchy.

After thinking for a while, Chen Xiaotang replied decisively: "I know it's a bit embarrassing, but I have to add more shares."

Jin Yong laughed, thinking that this young man really knows how to bargain, so he said: "Three percent is already a lot. Selling your novel including the copyright to me is only 60 yuan at most, and 60 yuan will be exchanged for us." The [-]% stake in Ming Pao Group is definitely worth it—young people, you must know how to accept it when you see something good."

Chen Xiaotang smiled slightly, as if he didn't take Jin Yong's rejection seriously, and said slowly: "It's not that I'm asking for a price, it's because the shares you offered make me feel a little unreasonable—"

"Oh, what's unreasonable?" Jin Yong asked.

Chen Xiaotang seemed to have a plan in mind, and said: "I checked the sales of your "Ming Pao" in the past two years. Originally, your newspaper was mainly doing 'novel serialization', but now it has transitioned to 'current affairs news', but because you have just been In the beginning, it was only the "Oriental Daily" and other big newspapers, and the sales volume has not increased much, so the stock price has not risen, but has a downward trend... I don't know if my analysis is correct?"

Jin Yong was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Chen Xiaotang to be so shrewd, this person seemed to have a great business mind besides his outstanding talents.So he asked, "Then how much do you think I should pay?"

Chen Xiaotang stretched out three fingers without hesitation: "Six percent!"

"Impossible!" Jin Yong immediately refused, "Although as you said, our company's stock price has a downward trend, but that is an inevitable product of the transitional period. Without bumps, how can there be gains? The reason why I agree with you is to use the copyright of the novel Buying shares is just out of love for talents, don't you think your tone is too loud when you speak so loudly?"

Next to him, Liu Dehua even winked at Chen Xiaotang, obviously trying to persuade him not to confront Jin Yong, after all, maybe he will need help in the future.

Chen Xiaotang didn't seem to notice Liu Dehua's small movements next to him, and smiled calmly: "We are talking about business, and we don't say that we love talents or not. Six percent should not be too much for you old man. Even your old man's wine money can't compare."

Jin Yong took a deep look at Chen Xiaotang as if he wanted to see the bottom line in his heart, but Chen Xiaotang gave him the feeling that his gaze was very deep, like an endless abyss.

"Okay, how about this, I will take a step back and you will give in, 5.00%, if you still think it is too little, I can only give up."

"It's a deal!" Chen Xiaotang answered very simply, and only now did he have a happy smile on his face, no longer the old-fashioned and steady one just now.

Looking at Chen Xiaotang's seemingly victorious appearance, Jin Yong vaguely felt that he had lost a game in this bargain.

However, when signing the agreement, Jin Yong reminded out of good intentions: "I hope you can think about it clearly. After all, this is what you worked hard to write. If you sell the copyright to me, you will not regret it in the future."

Chen Xiaotang: "If you want to gain something, you have to lose something. I believe that exchanging copyright for equity is definitely the right thing to do. Maybe it will make a lot of money in the future..."

"Hehe, I hope so. If you make a lot of money, won't my company grow bigger and bigger?!" Jin Yong was happy, thinking that what Chen Xiaotang said was just polite words, but he didn't understand that Chen Xiaotang could "see through" the future.

Eager to "finish" this matter, Jin Yong immediately found his own personal lawyer. The lawyer had been with Jin Yong for a long time and was very familiar with copyright transfer matters. It took less than a few minutes to complete some procedures. .

Chen Xiaotang and Jin Yong signed and signed respectively, and then shook hands, which is considered a happy cooperation.

Jin Yong is very happy to make this deal. Jin Yong and Gu Long were once listed as the big stars in the world of martial arts novels. They naturally have a unique vision for the selection of martial arts novels. In his opinion, Chen Xiaotang's book can be It is said that it is the most likely work to lead martial arts novels after him, and the fact is just as he thought, that "Looking for Qin Ji" is indeed that strong, but now it is sold by Chen Xiaotang, a "lazy" guy, and it becomes even more so. strong.

After the matter was settled, Chen Xiaotang wanted to drag Liu Dehua to have a big meal. During the meal, Liu Dehua couldn't understand Chen Xiaotang's actions. In his opinion, having 20 yuan in his arms was more exciting than buying some equity.

Chen Xiaotang didn't explain too much to him, but said that this was definitely not a loss-making business, and that his brain cells were almost killed by the update of this book, and if he didn't change hands, he might not be able to continue.

Liu Dehua was noncommittal, just buried his head in eating, it seemed that the six 10,000+ that "flyed" away belonged to him, not Chen Xiaotang.
