Rebirth Junior High School: The Excelling Top Student Goddess

Chapter 2407: You look at my eyes

Views:

"Suggestion, only when the person being advised thinks it is good, that is a good suggestion, otherwise..."

Yun Hua put down the coffee cup and said flatly, "Otherwise, it's trash."

Both Smith and Lawrence's expressions changed.

This Ms. Leila, you are very rude.

She is just a flower grower, what capital does she have to be so proud

To be honest, Smith and Lawrence were used to the respect and extraordinary courtesy of the flower-growing country. When they faced Yun Hua at this moment, such a cold reception made them very unbalanced.

Yun Hua was too lazy to take care of their imbalance, or in other words, this psychological imbalance was deliberately created by her.

If they are out of balance, what does it matter to her

If you can't take it, then go.

After all, she is not begging them now.

Yun Hua looked indifferently at the two people whose expressions were constantly changing, and she drank coffee quietly.

Smith and Lawrence got together and whispered something.

Soon, Smith said with a smile: "I'm very sorry, Miss Leila, we are too self-righteous. Now it seems that you have no intention of naturalizing in country M?"

Yun Hua didn't answer.

She didn't bother to answer such questions at all, and she wasn't used to their problems.

Smith was embarrassed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

He quickly said: "We respect Miss Leila's choice very much. Presumably, you also love your country very much. We just think that after becoming a citizen of country M, your life will become smoother. Of course, if you If you love your country very much and still want to keep your nationality, of course that is fine. We will not interfere with any of your freedoms."

The color of the cloud picture is still faint, and he still doesn't say anything.

Smith laughed again: "We just want to talk to you about the next copyright of "Criminal Evidence". You published it with North American Publishing Company, only "Criminal Evidence 1". The conditions for coming out don’t seem to be high.”

Yun Hua didn't say a word.

Smith motioned for Lawrence to refill Yun Hua's coffee.

He continued: "Do you know how much your book earned for the North American Publishing Company?"

Yun Hua became interested, she looked at Smith: "I don't know."

Smith said: "At least millions of dollars! This is just the money earned by the book, but the millions of dollars are nothing. The real wealth that your book has brought to the North American publishing company is fame! You This book has greatly increased the popularity of the North American Publishing Company once again. No amount of advertising fees can be exchanged for this, and this is what the North American Publishing Company values most.”

Lawrence put his refill of coffee in front of the cloud picture.

Smith continued: "The North American Publishing Company makes a lot of money, but how much did they pay you? As far as I know, it's only tens of thousands of dollars, right?"

Yun Hua nodded.

Smith said, "Then you're at a loss for the book. Didn't you talk to them about royalties in the first place?"

Yun Hua chuckled and looked at Smith with a half smile.

Smith quickly said: "I'm sorry, Miss Leila, I shouldn't have asked this question. At that time, you were still a newcomer to your first book, and North American Publishing Company certainly couldn't make a royalty share contract for you. It must be a buyout. The price It will definitely press down as much as possible. In fact, any other publishing company will do the same, after all, it is also reducing the risk.”

Yun Hua nodded.

Smith said: "What about your second book, the North American Publishing Company must have given you a lot more favorable conditions."

Yun Hua nodded.

Smith smiled and asked: "May I take the liberty to ask, what kind of contract can North American Publishing Company give you for the second book, which is the sequel?"

Yun Hua smiled: "Mr. Smith, you are also a publisher. You work with the North American Publishing Company, and you must know them well. Why don't you guess what contract they will give me?"

Smith actually began to think seriously.

After a while, he looked at Yun Hua and said, "North American Publishing Company is the largest publishing company in North America. It has a strong global influence in North America and Europe. Even if your first book sells well in North America and continues to top the sales list, But the North American Publishing Company will not offer you too generous conditions!"

"Really? The reason." Yun Hua said, "You also said that the first book brought huge benefits to the North American Publishing Company. Why didn't they offer me too good conditions for the second book? Woolen cloth?"

Smith smiled and said: "It's very simple, because when North America left the office and signed "Criminal Evidence" for the first time, it had already underestimated your book very much. I think your book can be compared with other bestsellers, of course, the most important reason is your nationality."

Yun Hua nodded, "Go on."

Smith continued: "Actually, it is a matter of the status of both parties. The status of you and the North American Publishing Company is not equal. In the eyes of the North American Publishing Company, you are just a small writer from a backward country in the East who accidentally wrote a popular book. , this is not a writer who can be valued by North American publishing companies."

"Although the North American Publishing Company has tasted the money and benefits that your first book brought them, in fact, they are not optimistic that you can continue to write better books."

"Another point is the unequal information. The North American Publishing Company believes that selling your first book at such a low price proves that your estimate of yourself is not high, which will make the North American Publishing Company think that , you don’t understand the true value of your book, then they will continue to lower the price... They even think that a symbolic increase in the price of the second book is enough.”

Yun Hua hooked his lips.

Actually, that's pretty much it.

Sure enough, peers know their peers better.

Yun Hua smiled.

Smith said: "I guess the copyright fee for your second book from North American Publishing Company should be 100,000. Right?"

Yun Hua nodded.

There was nothing to hide.

Smith smiled: "One hundred thousand dollars, this is already a very, very high figure for the mysterious and backward Eastern countries. People from the North American Publishing Company must think that you are willing to sell the first book for fifty thousand dollars. By the time you get to the second book, they've all raised it to $100,000, so what can you fault? They think you'll be more than happy to accept that price. But in reality, they don't know you very well. "

Yun Hua looked at Smith, "Really, you said North American Publishing Company doesn't know me well, so do you know me?"

Smith smiled: "I think I still understand something. Actually, just now, I just wanted to get to know you about nationality. I didn't really say that I must persuade you to naturalize in country M. Of course, if you It is of course good to be willing to become a naturalized citizen of country M. I am proud of being a native of country M, and my country is the best. But... "

Smith looked at Yun Hua intently: "You rejected me, which made me think highly of you. You were born in such a country, and you saw that the country was full of holes, but you were not willing to abandon it This country, you have full confidence in your motherland... This made me see your heart. You will never sell yourself because of money, and your works will never simply succumb to money."

Yun Hua laughed.

I have to say that this Smith is really a master negotiator. He is very good at talking. After he said something that made Yun Hua unhappy or even contradicted him at first, he could quickly adjust his thinking, and then rushed to make Yun Hua happy. Yun Hua came here satisfied.

Such a person is really, really powerful. No wonder he was sent to negotiate with her.

Yun Hua looked at Smith flatly: "So now you think, if I can't be moved by people from North American Publishing Company, then why should I be moved by your company's conditions?"

Hearing this, Smith smiled wryly: "I also feel that it is very difficult for us to impress you."

Yun Hua looked at the time: "Then we don't seem to have anything to talk about."

Smith immediately stared in denial: "Of course not. We still have a lot to talk about. It is difficult to impress you, but compared to the difficulty, we really want to impress you. We are very, very sincere."

Yun Hua looked at Smith and smiled, "If your sincerity is to allow me to naturalize in country M and then help me run the Nobel Prize, then forget it. There is no need for such sincerity. I don't need it either."

"Of course not." Smith said immediately, "Miss Laila, am I that stupid? After touching your taboo, I still want to continue to attack you?"

Yun Hua hooked his lips. This Smith is really interesting.

Smith said: "If you don't want to be naturalized, then it's better not to be naturalized. The Nobel Prize in Literature can't move you, so think of other things that can move you more. Miss Leila, all conditions are negotiable."

Yun Hua nodded, "All conditions can be negotiated, but in fact... My conditions are very simple."

"Please tell me." Smith said, "No matter what conditions you have, we will definitely treat them very seriously and carefully. If I don't have the authority to approve them, we will report them to the company."

Yun Hua nodded.

She didn't bother to talk so much nonsense, she said bluntly: "My condition is money. You said that I will not be moved by money, then you are wrong, I will be moved by money. I want money."

Smith was stunned for a moment, and he frowned slightly, as if he didn't expect Yun Hua to say that, she must have been too direct.

"Then, what is your psychological price?" Smith said.

Yun Hua looked indifferently, "Why don't you tell me first, what is your psychological price, and how much can you give me? If I think it's appropriate, then it's settled. If I don't think it's enough..."

Smith was a little embarrassed.

Rather than letting them bid, he preferred to let Lyra make her own bid, so that he could bargain down the price.

But if they are asked to bid, they can only increase the price continuously, and at the same time, they must find out Leila's psychological expectations...

"Sorry Miss Lyra, I need to talk it over," Smith said.

Yun Hua nodded, "I'll drink some coffee, you can do whatever you want."

Smith got up quickly, walked to the side with Lawrence, and whispered, not knowing what they were talking about. The argument between the two seemed to be quite heated.

Yun Hua was drinking coffee leisurely.

Just then, someone came over and stood beside her.

"Is the coffee good?" Zhou Shengbeiqian's voice came.

Yun Hua turned to look over, and almost immediately frowned, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm looking for you." Zhou Sheng Beiqian sat down opposite her, and he took Smith's seat.

Yun Hua's eyes were indifferent: "Don't you think that the way you are now is... boring?"

Zhoushen Beiqian was not angry either, and looked at her with burning eyes, "If you give me a chance to pursue you, then no matter what I do, I will find it interesting."

Yun Hua's eyes were cold: "Vice President Zhou Sheng, do you know that flies are very annoying to people."

Zhou Shengbeiqian nodded, "That's right, I'm also very tired of flies."

Yun Hua was speechless to this man.

Zhou Shengbeiqian said again: "Is Bao Siqing treating you well? Not necessarily. If you accept my pursuit, I will treat you better than him."

Yun Hua put down the coffee cup in his hand and looked at Zhou Shengbeiqian very, very coldly: "Vice President Zhou Sheng, I just want you to know that only the right person is good, that's what I want. People are wrong, no amount of goodness is like poison.”

Zhou Sheng Beiqian narrowed his eyes.

His expression suddenly turned cold: "Lin Yunhua, can I ask you a question?"

"I said no, so why don't you ask?" Yun Hua looked at him.

Zhou Shengbeiqian was also looking at her. Suddenly, he chuckled, "You're right, even if you say you can't, I still have to ask. Then I'll ask now, when did you know me?"

Yun Hua frowned: "Where do you start with this question?"

Zhou Sheng Beiqian was lying on the table, looking at her with his hands on his cheeks: "I still remember the look in your eyes when you first saw me. You remember me, you know me. So, what are you?" When did you know me? Why didn’t I know? It shouldn’t be, I will never forget a person like you once I met him. But no matter how I think about it... I still can’t remember, when exactly were you seen me."

Yun Hua's heart skipped a beat.

She looked at Zhou Shengbeiqian lightly: "You read it wrong. Maybe I was distracted at the time, maybe I was thinking about other things, or I was looking at someone... If my eyes caused any misunderstanding to you, I'm sorry .”

The expression on Zhou Sheng Beiqian's face was almost immediately put away, and he stared straight at her: "Apologize? I don't need your apology. If you want to fool me, don't even think about it. I know very well, look When I saw my eyes, it was surprise, and there was vigilance in the surprise, as well as rejection... Yes, yes, it is the way you look at me now."

Zhou Shengbeiqian narrowed his eyes, and said slowly, "Look at me, as if you're looking at a...pervert."
