Chapter 256: Correct guidance
"signing event?"
I thought the other party would first ask about the creation plan for the next book.
But Madeleine McIntosh apparently changed her mind and wanted to completely squeeze out the follow-up potential of "Fifty Shades of Grey".
"That's right, the autograph session."
Seeing that he was unmoved, Madeleine McIntosh said seriously: "Landon will make all arrangements. If the autograph session goes smoothly."
"I can tell you You guarantee that book sales will at least double."
Any creator would definitely be moved by her promise.
Double that and sell another 4 million copies, for a total of 8 million copies sold.
Then his royalty fee is 9%, and he can get a profit of nearly 20 million.
Who can be unmoved?
The answer is, Li Zhenyu.
Ten million US dollars is indeed a lot, but it requires him to spend half a year traveling across North America to do book signings.
Haha, what kind of international joke are you kidding?
"Writing a book is just my personal interest, and I am very satisfied with my current results."
Li Zhenyu's rejection was both tactful and firm.
'Personal interest' means it is not worth his time to do activities that can stimulate sales.
Meeting such creators is the most troublesome thing.
Because you can't convince the other party from any angle to cooperate with the company's publicity.
However, thanks to the development of the Internet, the emergence of mobile terminals has given them new choices.
"Sell signed printed copies on the Internet, using your own image... which means it comes with a photo poster."
Li Zhenyu understood. This was to make him a YY target for housewives across the United States.
It sounds like it won't have any impact on you.
At most, be careful when going out in the future, and always protect yourself and your little brother.
After receiving the affirmative answer, Madeleine McIntosh was still filled with regret.
It would only be better if he agreed to the signing himself.
That's fine. If the sales exceed 10 million, his royalties will have to be raised a little bit more.
"Li, we want to know if you have any next creative plans?"
"Of course, in any case, it will not affect our friendly cooperative relationship. We just don't want to lose a creator like you."
"Of course . , this idea is still in my mind..."
Li Zhenyu described the 'another world' in his mind on the spot. In that world, a great war destroyed North America.
The surviving humans built a new home, Panem, on the ruins.
There are twelve administrative districts in the country, surrounding a wealthy capital city in the middle.
The supreme and authoritarian capital city ordered the twelve districts to hand over one boy and one girl aged 12 to 18 every year to participate in the annual Hunger Games. '
The point is this game...
Through his simple description, Madeleine McIntosh found that its logic is clear, the setting is very interesting, and there is no stumbling in the description.
It sounds like all the ideas have been planned in mind.
So, this is not a temporary idea.
He really has new ideas and already has a clear idea for writing.
"Lee, I can't wait to see when I can see the first draft of it."
Madeleine McIntosh licked her dry lips like a hungry young woman.
Excellent works are as tempting to her as sweet springs.
"Soon."
Li Zhenyu turned to face her and smiled slightly. He seemed to be looking at Madeleine McIntosh, but in fact he was looking at the light curtain that no one could see.
'Path of Conquest: The Ultimate Conqueror. '
'The progress reaches 100%, and the ultimate reward is issued: 8% shares of Sanxin Properties.
Reward 2: Sixth Sense.
Reward Three: Best-Selling Book·Original Manuscript: The Hunger Games.
Reward 4: Top-notch private yacht (expected to be completed in two months)'
'The perception of malice is entangled with the sixth sense, and it changes into: the mysterious sixth sense. '
'Mysterious sixth sense: When you can't make a decision, just follow your feeling. '
The reward from Li Fuzhen is generous.
[Road to Conquest] Mission and objectives are all achieved.
However, Li Zhenyu still remembers that the completion rate of the previous [Ignorant Wild Cat Taming] task was 160%.
I don't know if other tasks can be over-fulfilled like this.
The market value of Sanxin C&C hovers around 26 trillion won, and 8% of its shares is worth 2 trillion won, which is about US$1.7 billion.
You can earn 1.7 billion US dollars in just one sleep. What kind of autograph session are you doing? !
"Li, have you thought about the title of the new book? Maybe we can warm it up in advance..."
Even if we warm up it in advance, we still need to have at least a first draft.
Madeleine McIntosh was obviously using this reason to satisfy her curiosity.
Li Zhenyu didn't mind and said: "Just call it the Hunger Games."
The negotiations between the two parties ended in a suspension. Madeleine McIntosh wanted to see the first draft before making a decision.
Because the conditions proposed by Li Zhenyu were too high.
Top-notch treatment, 10% royalty, a one-point increase is not a small amount.
The purpose of this trip has been achieved. It's time for Li Zhenyu to go back...
"Damn it!"
Li Zhenyu suddenly remembered something after slapping his head hard.
He actually forgot about Li Meina in the Golden House and made an appointment to take her back to Bad Country with him.
Well, I
still have to find a reason to let her fly over by herself.
"Secretary Xia..."
Of course, this kind of matter is left to Xia Zhuxi to handle. She will never let herself down in this regard.
Xia Zhuxi, who was far away in South Korea, drove to the Golden House in person after receiving a call from her boss.
The elevator door opened, and Xia Zhuxi saw Jin Baola...
"Where is he?"
"Inside."
He learned that Liu Mina had been doing nothing in the room during this period.
Xia Zhuxi took out the gifts she picked out on the way to the future and straightened her posture in front of the standing mirror.
Then, he walked to the living room with a smile.
"Menasi, I am President Ni's personal assistant... The President has urgent business and is already on his way to Eagle Country..."
"This is the gift he asked me to hand over to you. He carefully selected it himself. I originally planned to give it to you as a surprise on the plane. "
A shining necklace full of diamonds, which makes Liu Mina's fair skin crystal clear.
Caressing this valuable necklace, Liu Mina's little complaint turned into surprise, "When will Oppa come back? Can I still see him?"
"The president's schedule is very tight, and I may not be able to meet you for the time being. We have to meet each other, but please believe that he will do his best to shorten the time to a tolerable level."
Standing behind her proud and delicate figure, Xia Zhuxi assured her with his hands on her shoulders.
The president will definitely spare enough time for her beloved.
On the other side of the ocean, Li Zhenyu is waiting patiently in front of the copper bull on Wall Street.
Alice Lee came to New York, and the handover of business with Morgan required her to come forward in person.
After accidentally learning the news from the secretary's office, Li Zhenyu immediately stood at the door, waiting for her to appear.
Liu Mina is no longer a problem. Now, he needs to redirect the beautiful young woman whose heart is broken and confused back to the right path.
