Chapter 1202 Signing a Contract
Whoosh!
As soon as Xia Ping's thoughts moved, he entered the virtual network and came to a virtual space.
The virtual space can be set as you want, and this virtual space is set as a living room by Xia Ping, with sofas, coffee tables, TV sets, etc., and the decoration is very fashionable.
Then, another figure appeared in this space.
Xia Ping took a closer look and found that this man was two meters tall, very fat, looked to have a ton of weight, long horns on his head, a pig's nose, a black suit, a red tie, and gold-rimmed glasses. The face of a treacherous businessman.
He saw at a glance that it was a pig demon.
But it's nothing in the universe. Humans and monsters have long been mixed together, and all kinds of races exist, which is not surprising.
"Mr. Wu, it's great that you are finally willing to communicate with me. When we first met, my name is Germa, and I am the person in charge of Liuyun Xingyu, a cosmic book media company."
Germa smiled and introduced himself with a warm look on his face.
"I won't say more nonsense, I'm very direct, what do you want to do with me?" Xia Ping asked bluntly.
Germa nodded: "Mr. Wu really is a quick talker, so I'll say it straight, the reason why I asked Mr. Wu is to ask you to write a book about deception."
"According to Mr. Wu's current reputation, if he can write a book like this, it will definitely sell well."
There was a sly gleam in his eyes that was characteristic of a businessman.
To be honest, he just likes Xia Ping's fame, whether it is notoriety or good reputation, in short, everyone knows that it is profitable.
Just like a star, he has a great reputation and has many fans.
But just being famous is not enough, no matter how great your fame is, you can't eat it, so you need to realize your fame.
Publishing a book is a means of realizing fame.
Xia Ping also knew that in his previous life on Earth, many celebrities also chose to publish books, autobiographies, or scandals, and then hired someone to ghostwrite them.
Regardless of whether the book is good or bad, in short, if you have a celebrity reputation, you can attract the interest of the public and fans. Such a book will definitely sell and make a lot of money.
At the beginning, the most powerful celebrity publishing book on the planet was the President of the United States. Once the president resigned, he would definitely publish a book and write an autobiography. The manuscript fee for a book published by a celebrity of this level would at least exceed tens of millions of dollars.
This is an income that ordinary people can't get in their entire life.
Obviously, Gilma took a fancy to Xia Ping's recent reputation in the Liuyun star field, so he wanted to find Xia Ping to cooperate, and take advantage of this momentum to take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money.
To put it vulgarly, with fame, even if you write a piece of si, many people will buy it.
"Publishing a book? It's interesting, please talk about it carefully."
Xia Ping squinted his eyes. He didn't mind Germa's attempts at all. People who have no use value are basically useless firewood. In this world, either I'm using you, or you're using me, who can avoid the custom.
In short, this can bring him a lot of cosmic coins, which is the most realistic.
Seeing Xia Ping seemed interested, Germa immediately said: "Yes, it's publishing a book. Of course, if you don't know how to write, there are also many excellent writers in our company, and they can all help ghostwriting."
"We can sign a sharing agreement with you. If you sell it, you can get 30% of the profit."
He stretched out three fingers, obviously he didn't care about Xia Ping's writing ability at all, he just wanted to use Xia Ping's fame to make a fortune.
"Thirty percent profit?"
Xia Ping looked at Germa with a half-smiling smile: "Use my fame to make money, and only give me 30%. Isn't this a bit too much? At least 90%!"
"Mr. Wu, you are the most excessive."
Germa screamed: "Our company is responsible for helping with publicity, spreading out sales channels, hiring ghostwriters, passing editorial review, typesetting, etc., all of which cost money and are exorbitantly expensive.
You took 90% without doing anything. Do you want us to drink the northwest wind? This is absolutely impossible, not negotiable. "
Xia Ping shook his head: "I don't need a ghostwriter, I can write it myself, and without my fame and celebrity effect, I'm afraid you won't be able to make money."
"Ninety percent is still too high, at most fifty percent, and no more."
Germa shook his head. He couldn't accept such a share ratio at all. If they could only take 10%, what kind of money would they make? Isn't this working for the other party? !
Moreover, as the head of Liuyun Xingyu, a cosmic book media company, he has requirements for profitability every year. If he fails to achieve profitability, he may be demoted or even punished.
Of course, if you do well, you will be appreciated by the head office. Maybe you can enter the head office and take a position in the head office. This is also the highest goal of the person in charge of each branch.
"Seventy percent!"
Xia Ping looked at Gilma: "I need at least 70% of the profit, no matter how low it is, I can only give up cooperation with you."
He also wants to occupy all the interests, but that is impossible. The so-called cooperation means that everyone can cooperate in order to benefit, otherwise a fool will work with you.
Seventy percent is his bottom line.
"Of course, I'm not trying to embarrass you either. If this book doesn't reach tens of millions of sales, I can take nothing." Xia Ping can help the other party sign a gambling agreement.
Millions of sales? !
Gilma was taken aback, knowing that ordinary books in this era basically did not sell much, and most of the best-selling books were martial arts cheats, which could make people stronger.
However, these martial arts secrets are controlled by many saint-level sects, and they are not qualified to take a share.
Therefore, if he wants to reach tens of millions of sales, it must be the annual fire book. He has been the head of the Liuyun Xingyu branch for ten years, and he has not published many such books.
Although Wu Wudi is indeed famous in several star regions such as Liuyun Star Region, but if a book like this is published, will millions of people really buy it? !
According to his estimation, a million sales is not bad, it has already exceeded his expectations.
If there are tens of millions of sales, it is really only possible if a miracle occurs.
"Okay, since Mr. Wu is so confident, naturally I will not refuse." Thinking of this, Germa immediately decided to agree to Xia Ping's conditions.
If it can't reach tens of millions of sales, then he doesn't need to give a dime. This is a white wolf with empty gloves.
Even if it can really reach the number of tens of millions of sales, he will not suffer.
No matter how you look at it, this is a very good deal, and there is no reason to refuse.
"Okay, then sign the contract." Xia Ping smiled slightly.
Gilma acted resolutely, so as not to have too many dreams, he immediately ordered his secretary to quickly draw up a contract.
And Mao Xianren carefully reviewed it with its many years of experience, and believed that the contract was fine and fair, and the other party did not make any tricks, so it could be signed.
So, Xia Ping and Gilma signed the contract.
"However, Mr. Wu, how do you plan to write?" Germa asked curiously, because fame is only a support, and the content of the book is the most important thing. If the quality of the book is not good, it is impossible to achieve tens of millions of sales.
After all, not all people are stupid.
"When I write it, I'll know." Xia Ping said with a smile, he had already made a decision.
