Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon
Chapter 8 Reaching Cooperation
Chapter 8 Reaching Cooperation
"Brother, someone is looking for your phone number."
This afternoon, Lin Baicheng was writing at home as usual, when the voice of his younger sister Lin Qin came from downstairs.
"coming!"
Lin Baicheng responded, got up and went downstairs.
"Little sister, who is calling?"
Lin Baicheng asked Lin Qin who was standing at the stairs.
Lin Qin is 15 years old this year. She is currently in the third grade of secondary school. She is a little girl with a distinctive appearance.Speaking of which, among the three children of the Lin family, Lin Shufang and Lin Qin are both beauties, and even Lin Baicheng is handsome and young, obviously they all inherited the genes of their mother Zhao Huilan.
As for his father Lin Haishan, let's not talk about it, he is just an ordinary man.
"It's still Uncle Hu."
Lin Qin replied that today is the weekend, so she is resting at home.
"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Hu."
Lin Baicheng knew what he was hearing, and went to answer the phone. At this time, the only person surnamed Hu who was looking for him was Hu Zhiwen, the boss of Xingxing Daily.
"Lin Sheng, good afternoon."
Hu Zhiwen's hearty voice sounded from the phone.
After a few words of politeness between the two, Hu Zhiwen got to the point.He asked Lin Baicheng to go to his newspaper office for afternoon tea, and chatted about their cooperation by the way, and said that this was the last conversation, and if they still couldn't reach an agreement, the cooperation had to be dropped.
Naturally, Lin Baicheng would not refuse, and agreed to go.
"It seems that today is the last negotiation."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Baicheng went back upstairs with a solemn expression, preparing to change a set of clothes before going out.
Speaking of it, it has been nearly a week since he went to the Star Daily last time, and the conversation failed that time. The two contacted twice in the next two days, but they still failed to negotiate.
Hu Zhiwen added three more points, that is, he was willing to give up 18% of the shares, and Lin Baicheng also lowered it by five points, asking for 25% of the shares, with a gap of 7%. The two did not reach an agreement.
In the next few days, Hu Zhiwen did not contact Lin Baicheng again. Of course, Lin Baicheng would not take the initiative to contact Hu Zhiwen, so the two sides have no contact for the time being.
As for Lin Baicheng, he contacted small and medium newspapers every day as usual. Unfortunately, after learning about his situation, few newspapers were willing to interview him or read his novels, which meant that there was still no progress.
Although there are quite a few newspaper offices in Xiangjiang, they are only half a hundred, so that as of yesterday, Lin Baicheng had no newspaper offices to contact.
Now Lin Baicheng has only two choices, either to cooperate with the Star Daily, or to find the two newspapers that are willing to give him a chance after the book is finished.Or, go to a big newspaper to try it, but the possibility that the big newspaper is willing to serialize is even lower.
But the problem is that the two newspapers only said that they were willing to read the manuscript after his novel was finished, but they didn't say that the novel would be serialized in the newspapers. There was no guarantee that the novel would be serialized at that time.
Therefore, the bottom line in Lin Baicheng's heart has actually been lowered. Even if Hu Zhiwen doesn't contact him today, he will take the initiative to contact Hu Zhiwen in a day or two.The less shares, the less, and the less earning. Relatively speaking, it is more important to serialize the novel and earn the first pot of gold.
After changing his clothes, Lin Baicheng asked for some money from Lin's mother, and went out.
Daily Star.
Different from the last time, this time there is not a single employee, and I don't know if they didn't go to work this weekend or were sent out by Hu Zhiwen.
"Editor Hu!" "Lin Sheng!"
It was really afternoon tea, Hu Zhiwen took out the tea set to make tea.
Lin Baicheng was not in a hurry when he saw this, anyway, he had already made a decision, as long as Hu Zhiwen's conditions did not change from a few days ago, then he would at most make some money and agree to cooperate.
After drinking tea and talking about other things, it was already half an hour later.
"Lin Sheng, let's talk about our cooperation."
Hu Zhiwen said in a deep voice: "Since you are still not satisfied with the 18% stake in Lin Sheng, then I have a proposal. If this is not enough, then I have nothing to do."
"Editor Hu, tell me."
Lin Baicheng listened carefully.
Hu Zhiwen said: "The basis is still 18% of the shares, regardless of whether the novel can save the living newspaper. After that, within half a month of the serialization of the novel, the daily circulation must reach 2 copies. Only in this way can the newspaper not lose money. To save the newspaper, I will transfer 20% of the shares to you, Lin Sheng, and you have reached [-]% of the shares, Lin Sheng."
"In the next month when the newspaper can survive, for every 1 copies of the newspaper's average daily circulation, I will transfer 5% of the shares to Lin Sheng, with a cap of 25%. That is to say, as long as the newspaper's daily circulation increases within one and a half months If the daily circulation can reach [-] copies, then Lin Sheng, you can get [-]% of the shares."
"This is the best condition I can give. If you still don't agree to cooperate, Lin Sheng, then I can only give up this cooperation and honestly close the newspaper office."
Whenever possible, Hu Zhiwen didn't want to close the newspaper just like that, he wanted to take a gamble.The conditions he put forward this time are actually beneficial to him. After all, if he really wants to transfer 7% more shares to Lin Baicheng in the end, it can only mean that the daily circulation of the newspaper has reached 75 copies. [-]% of the shares in the company will only be more valuable and earn more.
"Editor Hu, happy cooperation!"
Lin Baicheng stretched out his hand happily after hearing this, and didn't say anything more.
"Happy cooperation!"
Hu Zhiwen stretched out his hand and shook Lin Baicheng's hand, and he relaxed.
Because it is related to the transfer of shares, although the two have reached a verbal agreement, they still need to sign a share transfer contract and go through relevant procedures.
The next morning, Lin Baicheng came to the Star Daily again, but this time he did not come alone, and brought a lawyer with him.
Lin Baicheng is not stupid, he will not believe what Hu Zhiwen says, it is related to his own interests, no matter how cautious he is, he cannot be too cautious.
In the contract drawn up by the two parties, the conditions given by the Star Daily were the same as those discussed by the two yesterday, but there were a few more explanations drawn up by Lin Baicheng.
For example, Lin Baicheng only handed over the newspaper serial copyright of the novel "Fengyun", and it was only the first one. The follow-up novels have nothing to do with this cooperation. Other copyrights such as film and television adaptations are in Lin Baicheng's hands.
In addition, the Star Daily must have no debts outside, and the net assets after closing the newspaper must be more than [-] Hong Kong dollars, etc., all of which are to protect the interests of Lin Baicheng.
Lin Baicheng didn't dare to believe Hu Zhiwen's words 100%. The ghost knows whether the net worth of Star Daily is negative. Lin Baicheng dared to sign only when these preconditions were indicated on the contract.
Don't make any money, but owe a large amount of Hong Kong dollars because you were tricked.
Hu Zhiwen was not dissatisfied, after all, he did not deceive others, so they all agreed.
Finally, after both lawyers confirmed that there was no problem, Lin Baicheng and Hu Zhiwen signed the contract and formally reached a cooperation.
