Chapter 990 Transformers RB is hot, with a million-level licensing fee
"Don Gilleshode wants to buy the copyright of Transformers animation and its derivatives?"
Li Dong smiled. "I don't know, how much does Mr. Wushilang plan to pay?"
"Hundred thousand dollars."
Wucilang investigated Li Dong and learned about some situations, but he didn't expect that a rural person like Li Dong, who is a remote and backward area in China, could write science fiction works like Transformers.
The 100,000 US dollars is given after the investigation. After all, for Chinese people, 10,000 yuan is a huge wealth. If you think about it, 100,000 US dollars, this money is enough to impress Li Dong.
"Mr. Wucilang doesn't seem to have any sincerity."
One hundred thousand dollars, Li Dongle is happy, and it’s not enough to let go of Transformers animation. The derivatives are not just toys, but the Pictorial series is not much, let alone 100 thousand, and ten times are not much.
"Mr. Li, what does this mean?"
Wucilang frowned slightly, Li Dong was not surprised at all, and even had a hint of humor in his eyes. Is there something wrong with the investigation information? Wucilang remembered that Li Dong authorized to a basket manufacturer, and this authorization was basically profitable.
The company conducted a certain evaluation of this authorization and combined with some investigation data from Wucilang, and finally Wucilang offered 100,000 US dollars. "Tang Jikede Company wanted to reach a cooperation with Mr. Li with great sincerity."
"Very sincere?"
Li Dong smiled and leaned back on the chair. "Mr. Wucilang, I would like to say a set of data, which may be of some reference to you. The sales of the Japanese Transformers Illustration Edition has exceeded 2 million, and it is expected to reach 5 million copies by the end of the year."
“My copyright fee is a profit share of 10% plus 5%.
Li Dong smiled. "I don't know, do you know how much the illustrated version costs in Japan?"
"The regular version is 500 yen, the illustration version is 800 yen."
At that time, the exchange rate of US dollars was about one to two hundred to two hundred and two hundred and five yen. Compared with this book, the price was not too high but not too low. The total sales of the ordinary version and the illustration version have exceeded five million copies, and the sales of Transformers in Japan are very good.
After doing this, Li Dong received more than 1.5 million US dollars in this book. Wu Shilang didn't expect Li Dong to get such a high royalty share and profit. How could this be possible? It's not his fault, Li Dong came from later generations, plus Zhang Li, and several previous books to accumulate connections.
In order to get this science fiction novel, the publisher made a lot of money. Although the royalties are not the highest, the profit sharing can be added, especially the step-by-step sales, which can reach 8% of the profit sharing of five million copies.
There are more than one.5 million US dollars in these families. Wu Shilang finally understood what Li Dong's expression meant just now. It was like you used children to deceive a college student, it was simply a joke, and even a little insulted.
"Fujiro, it seems that we have nothing to talk about."
"No, no, Li Jun, this is my dereliction of duty."
When he spoke, he stood up and bowed. Li Dong didn't realize that there was anything, but he was stunned for some of the hotel guests.
"It's him."
"This is interesting. That person seems to be the representative of a Japanese company."
"It's interesting."
Li Dong accepted Wu Cilang's apology calmly and took a sip of coffee. "The coffee here is not authentic. If you like Wu Cilang, I will give you some coffee."
"Thank you, Li Jun."
After the conversation, both sides completely changed their positions. Wucilang felt that there were some problems with his investigation data and knew too little about Li Dong. After all, time was too tight, and all these information were obtained from the Anhui delegation and the Canton Fair.
There are inevitably some mistakes and underestimating others. Wu Shilang is very depressed. As soon as Li Dong leaves, he immediately called the company to report on some information. He hopes that the company can help to learn more about Li Dong's information.
After getting the specific information of Li Dong, especially about publishing books, Wu Cilang was a little shocked. The Neuroman, the Matrix, etc. were actually published by Li Dong, and even a new book recently promoted by Galaxy Rover.
The investigation data is much more detailed than before, and Li Dong's wealth is estimated, about 5 million US dollars. This order is a bit embarrassing and difficult for Wucilang and the company to do it.
“It is possible to talk about between one million dollars and one million and a half million dollars.”
It directly increased ten times, and Wucilang sighed. Now this price is the real market price.
"In terms of handbaskets, the company plans to import a batch, which is considered an apology."
Wucilang received a reply and found Li Dong as soon as possible. Li Dong was only willing to give ten years of authorization, but only Japan authorization, and the offer was one million US dollars. This was somewhat different from Wucilang's expectations.
Although the talk was not completed, the atmosphere was quite pleasant. Li Dong was not in a hurry. He said that one million dollars would be more or less. Since the two sides intend to reach an agreement, it would not take too long.
"Brother Dong."
"What's wrong, so excited?"
"My sister-in-law helped us get a big order."
People like Han Weiguo and Han Weidong were so excited. Needless to say, Zhang Li must have been found by Huang Shengnan. "Brother Dong, hurry up, Manager Zhang is still waiting for you to sign the contract."
"Why can't you run away if you're in a hurry?"
Li Dongxin said that this time it was thanks to Huang Shengnan. If it weren’t for the fact that he would have really made jokes to those people in the delegation, he would be his real relative. “Sister Zhang.”
"Let's go, Katsuno is already waiting."
Zhang Li walked around and asked about Wu Cilang about it. "The talk was almost done, but some small details still need to be discussed."
"I didn't expect that there are so many ways to do a book."
Zhang Li smiled and said, "Speaking of this, publishing a good book will be enough to make a fortune in a company for a year."
"It's just that luck is far worse than the company. The company has it every year. This book is better for the first two days at most, and there will be no income after that." Of course, these things are hard to say, and it may make a lot of money after the copyright is developed.
Han Weiguo and the others didn't quite understand. Could it be that Brother Dong had published some new books and made money? I don't know how much it earned. I think it would not be less. What company does Manager Zhang just now have to be similar to a factory.
“Huh?”
Wu Tao and Wu Cheng were dealing with the finishing work of a order yesterday, and they were a little surprised when they saw Li Dong and others walking in.
“Signed the contract?”
Wu Cheng looked at Wu Tao and whispered.
"Look first."
The two looked at each other and nodded. Li Dong didn't notice them and focused on Huang Shengnan.
After taking the order, he filled it out casually. When Wu Tao, who was not far away, he saw that it was really a signing order, and he didn’t need to fill in the information.
"I'm so lucky." Wu Cheng muttered.
"Maybe it's a small order."
Wu Tao is not good at talking about relatives and friends. Why? Relatives and friends have too much money and have nowhere to spend it. Buying a basket every day is stupid. You should know that the price of Li Dong and the others is too scary. Two dollars and fifty cents are two. Everyone thinks that they will buy it unless they are fools, except for relatives.
This is also what everyone thinks is that Li Dong's orders are all relatives. It is so expensive. Who should buy them? You should know that the state-owned bamboo weaving factory is only one dollar, and the price is less than half of Li Dong and the others. The basket is almost exactly the same.
Of course, Li Dong made a nameplate, which was a waste of time for Wu Tao and the others. He didn't realize it was necessary. He wanted a nameplate for a broken basket. Isn't this a joke?
"You go and have a look."
Wu Tao was embarrassed, but he wanted Wu Cheng to go over and take a look. There is no confidentiality contract or anything else, and he would summarize it all the time.
"Thirty thousand pieces?"
Liu Hui didn't expect that there were so many this time, and I had to admire Li Dong. The total number is 50,000 pieces, a total of 125,000 US dollars. This is not a decisive amount. It is simply incredible for a bamboo weaving factory or a township enterprise.
Li Dong looked calm. This was what he expected before, but he thought that 20,000 items were good, but he didn't expect that there were so many now.
"Thirty thousand pieces?"
Wu Cheng was stunned for a moment, it was impossible. This did not mean that this order would cost 75,000 US dollars. In total, Li Dong had more than 100,000 US dollars in the past few days.
This morning, Li Dong had to rely on his relatives to help him get tens of thousands of dollars. What's so proud of him? It's because his relatives help him show his true colors, but who would have thought that he had brought a bigger order.
It's a bigger order than the previous few days, it's so scary now.
"Thirty thousand pieces, impossible."
Wu Tao heard Wu Cheng say this, and he couldn't believe it at all and ran over and saw it. He was stunned. It was 30,000 pieces.
"What is Director Wu looking at?"
Li Dong smiled. "It's really a relative who helped me this time."
"you."
Wu Tao looked at Li Dong who was laughing and laughing. He was like eating a fly. Relatives, your relatives are fools who bought so many baskets.
"Mr. Wu is leaving now. Weiguo, you go and see him off."
"Secretary Wu, we'll send you there."
Han Weiguo said with a smile. "Brother Dong didn't lie this time. He is really a relative. He was the order he helped to get."
"Really, I didn't lie to you."
Wu Tao felt that these people were simply disgusting. His proud faces made him angry, but there was no way.
"What the genius believes in you."
Wu Cheng snorted. "What's the point of being proud of you? But after pulling an order, what's the point? Only tens of thousands of dollars, our order will be nearly 200,000. What's your conscience?"
Wu Tao thought of Li Donggang and laughed, forgetting this. "Let's go, you don't need to send it away. Wu Cheng should not follow some rural people as they see you. I haven't seen any big scenes before. I may see you for the first time for tens of thousands of yuan."
“That’s true.”
Wu Cheng smiled. "Oh, the country people are just the country people, and they all have a life of dozens of dollars."
"You're not blamed."
"you."
Han Weili was angry, these two bastards. "You guys..."
"We have never seen large orders, but these orders are all from our farm. I don't know if they can be finished in a year, so I can get a thousand or eight hundred yuan." Han Weiguo said. "I can't compare to you city people, but we countrymen can only earn one or two thousand yuan of hard-earned money a year."
"Thank you one or two thousand yuan a year?"
Wu Tao and Wu Cheng shivered, what a joke, one or two thousand, the factory manager's salary was only so much, how could these country people be able to do it?
"Yes, we can't compare to you people in the city, we can only earn one or two thousand hard money."
Han Weili became excited a few times.
Li Dong had just signed the order, and Wushilang came to the door. "Li Jun, the company agreed." Not only did he agree, the company also planned to obtain the global authorization of the handbasket and planned to order a batch of handbaskets.
Chapter completed!
