If the confession fails, then pursue her best friend

Chapter 131: 5000 million in copyright fees, Little Moon’s heartfelt kiss (two-in-one, please subscribe, please vote monthly)

You Wenxuan, vice president of NetEase, was very helpless about Li Yuan's lion's opening.

In business negotiations, the biggest fear is that young people like Li Yuan don't understand the routine of "asking for a high price and paying back the money on the ground" in the shopping mall.

"Mr. Xia Hua, our company Wangyi is naturally very optimistic about the follow-up market of "Battle of the Stars"."

You Wenxuan maintained a professional smile and continued to raise prices.

"We at Wangyi Company are willing to make you a friend and offer 2000 million to purchase the exclusive game adaptation copyright of "Battle Stars". If you agree, we can sign the contract now."

As soon as You Wenxuan spoke, Wu Wenhui, Xingkong and others all looked at Li Yuan, waiting for his reply.

The price of 2000 million is already considered a sky-high price at this time. Once the transaction is successful, it will create the highest record in the online literary world. With this book, Li Yuan will also jump to the top of the Forbes list of writers.
Li Yuan still shook his head with a smile. 2000 million may be more expensive than the game adaptation copyright he fought for in his previous life, but it still did not reach his psychological minimum price.

Seeing that Li Yuan was still dissatisfied with the price, You Wenxuan frowned, a look of displeasure appeared on his face, and his tone became stiff.

"Mr. Xia Hua, 2000 million is already a sky-high price. To do business, you have to give in and I will take one step back. Although "Battle of the Stars" is very popular, there are still certain uncertainties in some adaptations of online novels. We are still feeling the stones. Cross the river.”

Wu Wenhui interrupted, looked at Li Yuan, and said with a smile: "Xia Hua, one hundred million is indeed too much. You can lower it a little. I think Mr. You is still very sincere."

Li Yuan looked as usual and thought for a moment. It was really not possible to sell it for 1 million at this time.

"Let's do this. I'll agree on a price. If you think it's suitable, Mr. You, then sign a contract. If you don't think it's suitable, then we can continue to cooperate if we have the opportunity in the future."

You Wenxuan looked at Li Yuan with a calm expression and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia Hua, please tell me a price."

Li Yuan held out five fingers: "I am a straightforward person, and I am too lazy to continue bargaining. The price is 5000 million. If it works, I will sell the game adaptation of "Star Wars" to you."

"5000 million?" You Wenxuan's expression remained unchanged. This price was much lower than the 1 million he had just asked for. However, it still exceeded their psychological expectations.

"Mr. Xia Hua, 5000 million is still too much. We can only offer 3000 million at most."

Li Yuan smiled and shook his head, and said regretfully: "Mr. You, I look forward to working together next time."

Wu Wenxuan opened his mouth, looked at Li Yuan, wanted to say something, but then closed his mouth.

"Wangyi Company has offered 3000 million, but Xia Hua is still not satisfied. Is the copyright so valuable? This time we have suffered a huge loss."

He has decided in his heart that in the future, he will sign a copyright transfer agreement with the author for all books published on the Yuandian Chinese website to obtain all copyrights.

As the vice president of Wangyi Company, You Wenxuan has naturally seen big scenes. Business negotiations are just like this. You come and go, and the negotiation can never be successful.

He said with a hint of regret: "If Mr. Xia Hua insists on asking for 5000 million, then we can only express regret."

Li Yuan smiled and nodded. It would be better if the game copyright can be sold. If it cannot be sold, just keep it and develop it yourself.

After "Honor of Kings" is officially launched early next year, the "Bai Yujing" studio will be free to develop the web game "Battle of the Stars". Anyway, it is a business that is sure to make money. With his understanding of the game, As long as it is beautifully made and playable, it can easily become a money-attracting tool.

"Mr. You, Mr. Wu, everyone, I have some other things to do, see you later."

Li Yuan said hello, stood up with a smile, and stretched out his hand to Zhong Tingyue, who was sitting quietly beside him.

"Tingyue, let's go."

Zhong Tingyue smiled sweetly, put her hand on Li Yuan's hand generously, and chose to leave.

Li Yuan took Zhong Tingyue's smooth, boneless hand and was about to leave.

Today, conquering Little Moon is the main business, and the copyright transaction is secondary. Anyway, he is not very short of money now, and he still has 2000 million, which is enough for Zhihu.com and game development for the time being.

The 5000 million game copyright is really not expensive, it can only be said to be average. In a few years, it would be normal for the number to rise to one or two billion.

Seeing that Li Yuan was really preparing to leave, You Wenxuan was very hesitant. With Li Yuan's popularity on the Internet, it is foreseeable that "Battle of the Stars" will continue to become popular and cause a trend of online articles.

Start developing it now, and when it is completed, directly promote the corresponding game. Wouldn't it be a huge profit, and hopefully a very successful game.

"After all this hard work, even if we really lose money, it will only be 5000 million. Our company, Wangyi Company, cannot afford to lose money. According to our internal discussions, as long as we get the game adaptation of this book, the possibility of losing money is almost No."

You Wenxuan gritted his teeth, looked at Li Yuan's back holding Zhong Tingyue and left hand in hand, and shouted.

"Mr. Xia Hua, please stay."

Li Yuan turned around and looked indifferently.

"Mr. You, is there anything else?"

You Wenxuan came to Li Yuan, stretched out his hand, and sighed:
"Mr. Xia Hua, at your age, you are the calmest young man I have ever seen."

"You win, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Li Yuan looked a little surprised. He was really not playing hard to get. He thought that Wangyi Company would give up and at least have to go back and wait for a few days. Did he not expect that he would agree so easily?
He didn't understand.

Do they need the game adaptation rights of "Battle of Stars" so urgently?
However, since the other party has agreed, he has no reason to go back on his word.

Li Yuan stretched out his hand, shook it, and said with a smile: "Mr. You, this copyright transaction must be a win-win result."

You Wenxuan looked at Li Yuan with emotion: "Mr. Xia Hua, we are not only optimistic about this book, but also about you as a person. At the age of only 18, your first book can become a hit. It's Daxia again." The university's top students will have an unlimited future and will surely be representative figures in the history of online literature..."

"I believe that in the future, online literature will show a vigorous development trend, and you will also become the Taishan Beidou in the online literature world. By then, your name will be an unshakable sign..."

Li Yuan was a little embarrassed by the praise.

"Mr. You is too praised. I have my own understanding of online literature, so I can only count it as good luck."

Wu Wenhui also came over, looking at Li Yuan and You Wenxuan excitedly, and his heart was already filled with turmoil.

This is 5000 million, just for the game adaptation copyright of a book. This has opened up a new world for him, and the future of the online literature market is immeasurable.

"Mr. You, Xia Hua, congratulations to both of you for completing the largest copyright transaction in the history of online literature."

You Wenxuan waved his hand, and the employees of Wangyi Company had already brought over the prepared contract.

He quickly filled in the copyright transfer fee, signed his name, and handed it to Li Yuan.

"Mr. Xia Hua, the copyright transfer agreement has been signed. Please take a look."

Li Yuan took a brief look at it, and then handed it over to Wu Wenhui and the professionals from Yuandian Chinese Network for a look. Wangyi Company did not make any secrets in the contract, but only required that the book can be completed normally.

There is no difference between whether this requirement is stated or not. Given the book's financial success and brand value, unless something unexpected happens, no one will fail to write it well.

Li Yuan also signed his name on the contract. After a while, Wangyi Company paid the transfer copyright fee and the transaction was completely completed.

"Happy cooperation!"

……

For copyright transactions, relevant taxes and fees must be deducted. After the transaction was officially completed, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and more than 40 million yuan in cash was added to Li Yuan's personal account...

In order to prevent being exposed again, Li Yuan specifically told several people at Wangyi Company and Yuandian Chinese Network that they should keep it confidential and not disclose the specific amount. He still understood the principle of not disclosing wealth.

He does not plan to keep this money in the bank forever, but plans to invest it as soon as possible and turn it into fixed assets or other industries, stocks, etc.

Li Yuan thought happily:

"4000 million, plus the remaining 2000 million, rounded up to million. Tsk tsk, I claim to be a billionaire, it shouldn't be too much."

……

Zhong Tingyue felt that today's experience was a bit dreamy, and she looked at Li Yuan as if she were looking at a monster.

Li Yuan noticed Zhong Tingyue's gaze and said with a smile: "Little Moon, if you stare at me like this, I will be shy."

Zhong Tingyue was in a daze. Looking at Li Yuan's normal expression, he was not proud of having earned tens of millions and becoming a multimillionaire. He couldn't help but look at Li Yuan a few more times.

She bit her lip, stared at Li Yuan, and asked curiously: "Senior Li Yuan, aren't you excited at all?"

Li Yuan asked doubtfully: "Is there anything in this that I should be excited about?"

Zhong Tingyue rolled her eyes at Li Yuan and said coquettishly: "You are now a multi-millionaire, and you have achieved financial freedom. Are you not excited at all?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's only tens of millions, not hundreds of billions. This kind of money is nothing in Shanghai and China."

Zhong Tingyue really wants to give Li Yuan a small blow, just tens of millions. How easy it is to say that. Do you know how much the per capita salary in China is now?
Calculated based on the annual salary of a Daxia University graduate, a person would need to work for hundreds of years without food or drink to earn it.

Zhong Tingyue glared at Li Yuan and muttered: "Li Yuan, do you know that you really deserve a beating for your pretense?"

Li Yuan laughed: "Really? I really think tens of millions is nothing. In the future, it will be nothing more than a house in Shanghai."

Zhong Tingyue hummed: "The housing prices in Magic City are not that expensive. 4000 million is enough to buy a big villa in Magic City."

Li Yuan was noncommittal, but with a thought in his mind, he thought about the Little Moon strategy plan he had made, and asked:

"Little Moon, I want to invest. Are you interested in joining me?"

"Investment?" Zhong Tingyue asked curiously: "What are you going to invest in?"

Li Yuan did not hide anything from Zhong Tingyue, and said straightforwardly: "I am planning to invest in milk tea shops and real estate. I think these two directions will make steady profits in the future and have great prospects."

Zhong Tingyue thought about it seriously and asked curiously.

"I can understand real estate. The current house price in Shanghai is about 10,000 yuan. I feel that with the economic recovery in the future, house prices will continue to rise. If you want to invest in real estate, I can understand it."

"As for the milk tea shop? Is it the kind of milk tea shop like the one in our school? Isn't it already saturated? If you invest now, you won't get much profit, right?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but glance at Zhong Tingyue. She was indeed a top student majoring in business administration. She still had good vision. At least she was very accurate about housing prices.

"Let's not talk about the house. In the next few years, it will definitely rise significantly. You can't buy it at a loss or be cheated. Little Moon, if you have money, you can consider investing in real estate."

"As for milk tea shops, there are currently no relatively high-end milk tea brands in China. Various brands are in disarray and are in a stage of disorderly development."

"In my opinion, in the future, these countless milk tea brands will gradually be replaced by some big brands, forming a brand effect and leading future fashion. This market will also be very huge..."

"Little Moon, do you want to consider investing with me?"

Zhong Tingyue listened to Li Yuan's talk, with a strange light shining in her bright, watery eyes.

"But, senior, I really have no money. Why do you think I'm rich?"

Zhong Tingyue was a little embarrassed. She felt that Li Yuan might have really misunderstood her.

"My family situation is somewhat special. Although it is beyond the ordinary family, it comes with a price."

"What is the specific situation, Senior Li Yuan, you should have known about it in your previous life, right?"

Li Yuan laughed. He knew a hammer, but he could only make a rough guess, but he had no idea what the specific situation was.

He suddenly took Little Moon's hand and looked at her affectionately.

"Little Moon, there are some things that I wanted to do silently and give you a surprise."

"But after thinking about it seriously, I still think it would be better for the two of us to fight together."

"Let's work together to rescue you from that whirlpool and make up for the regrets of the previous life. We will no longer be separated from each other, missing you but not being able to see each other."

Zhong Tingyue met Li Yuan's sincere gaze and suddenly smiled, smiling happily, like a rainbow after rain, sweeping away the gloom in her heart and exuding dazzling brilliance.

"Li Yuan, are you serious?"

Li Yuan immediately replied: "It's more real than 24K real gold."

Zhong Tingyue was moved, bit her lip, thinking about her situation in her mind, and spoke hesitantly:
"But, I'm not worthy of your doing this. I don't want to burden you."

"You are already a multi-millionaire now, you can definitely pursue something better. The girls in our school are prettier than me, and the girls who are better than me are also..."

Before Zhong Tingyue could finish speaking, Li Yuan blocked her mouth...

"Little Moon, I will use this life to repay the regrets I made in my previous life."

"Li, Li Yuan, no, this is the street." "So what?"

"Not here."

"Where to go? The hotel or the car?"

"Huh? A stinky bastard."

"Little Moon, why am I such a stinker?"

"Well, you are."

"Don't talk and kiss well..."

"Woo! Woo! Woo! You are a bad guy..."

After the affectionate kiss, Zhong Tingyue lay in Li Yuan's arms with blushing cheeks, and was hugged tightly by Li Yuan.

"Little Moon, can you tell me about you?"

Zhong Tingyue looked at Li Yuan with a red face, still unable to believe that she could kiss Li Yuan for nearly half an hour on the street.

This crazy behavior made her, who had always been cold-hearted, feel very special, as if she had suddenly broken free of the psychological shackles, let herself go, and released her true nature.

"Li Yuan, what do you want to know?"

Li Yuan held Zhong Tingyue in his arms, sat in the corridor of the roadside park, and said with a smile:
"Of course, how should I rescue you? I have already promised you."

Zhong Tingyue's eyes lit up and she looked at Li Yuan, feeling different from the drunken mood that night.

At that time, she believed the story told by Li Yuan and just hoped that Li Yuan could rescue her.

But now, after seeing with her own eyes the copyright transaction between Li Yuan and Wangyi Company, she already believed in Li Yuan's strength.

But, is he willing to pay so much for me?

Do I deserve what he does?
Zhong Tingyue's heart was a little confused.

She lay in Li Yuan's arms, with all kinds of thoughts in her mind, and spoke slowly.

"Li Yuan, I come from Sucheng, Jiangnan. My father's family should be considered a scholarly family. In Jiangnan, there are more clan forms. Some in the family are engaged in business and some are in politics. My father has four brothers. My family is in The status of the clan is very average..."

"Because of the reason you can guess, it's a bloody but real thing. Most of the girls in our family have no control over their marriages since they grow up..."

"Many times, our family will choose one or several very beautiful girls and train her at all costs to play music, chess, calligraphy, painting, dance, music, and social interactions... and one day in the future, she will devote herself to the family..."

"And I, as one of my father's illegitimate daughters, am the chosen girl."

"So, I am not willing to be manipulated and sent around like a commodity, and I want to escape from that dark vortex..."

"Li Yuan, can you understand what I say?"

By the time Zhong Tingyue finished speaking, her eyes had become red and swollen, and strings of tears fell down, soaking Li Yuan's sweatshirt...

Li Yuan gently kissed Zhong Tingyue's forehead, held her hand tightly, and held her in his arms. He could feel her body trembling.

Li Yuan originally thought that a girl like Zhong Tingyue, who came from a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, would be sacrificed for mutual "marriage". He never expected that her identity and background would be so bumpy.

She is an illegitimate daughter who is not recognized.

He is also a "Jiangnan thin horse" who is specially trained and packaged and is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and dance music.

Zhong Tingyue is an aloof goddess who looks radiant and incomparably beautiful.

But what heart-wrenching and painful experiences are hidden beneath this beautiful appearance?

Li Yuan held up the tearful Zhong Tingyue, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Such a heart-warming girl should not have such a tragic ending.

"Little Moon, I will definitely rescue you, I promise you."

Zhong Tingyue stopped crying and smiled with relief for the first time since she learned the news in high school.

"Li Yuan, I believe in you, and I'm waiting for that day to come."

Li Yuan did not continue to ask in detail. He could already guess in his heart what it would take to rescue Little Moon from the web woven by this special clan relationship in the Jiangnan region.

"Li Yuan, do you know that when I was a freshman in high school, I overheard this news during a quarrel between my mother and my father. I was so desperate that I even wanted to give up on myself or even die."

"But I can't bear to let go of my mother. She is also a very poor woman. She only has me now. If she loses me, she won't be able to survive. I will study hard to improve my grades and accept him silently. Arrangements to learn music, dance, piano..."

"Fortunately, all my efforts were not in vain. Finally, I met you after I went to college."

Li Yuan hugged Zhong Tingyue tightly and instantly understood why she had never been in love in her previous life and rejected all suitors.

There is nothing greater than grief. At that time, she might have already been heartbroken.

Become a marionette controlled by the family.

How could a helpless and weak woman escape from the control of her native family, and her mother's weakness was restricting her.

Even if she could fly far away alone, given her character, she would probably just silently accept the tricks of fate.

Li Yuan comforted with a smile: "Little Moon, let's work together and let them kneel down and beg us in the future."

Zhong Tingyue met Li Yuan's eyes, her voice was clear and sweet, like beads falling on a jade plate: "Yeah."

She stretched out her arms as white as jade, took the initiative to hug Li Yuan's neck, and offered a sweet kiss...

Li Yuan's heartbeat quickened and soared rapidly. He picked her up directly, lay on her side in his arms, and kissed her passionately...

Time passed, and under the sunshine, the two of them were somewhat intoxicated.

When the love reached the depths, Li Yuan's big hands began to become dishonest again, rubbing Zhong Tingyue's long legs that could kill people, and his body felt a little hot.

"Li Yuan, what are you hiding here to hurt me?"

Li Yuan blushed and said hesitantly: "Little Moon, you really don't know what that is?"

Zhong Tingyue suddenly thought of something, her pretty face turned red and blood could ooze out, her beautiful eyes stared at Li Yuan, and she hummed: "Senior, you did it on purpose."

Li Yuan felt very interesting looking at Zhong Tingyue's shy appearance.

Inexperienced girls like Zhong Tingyue, Xia Zhijin, and the former Bai Weixi, even their own reactions are highly the same when encountering such things.

That kind of innocence and shyness can only be reflected in girls who have never been in love.

Once you really know too much about ML and have developed it, you won't have this special feeling anymore.

"Hey, little moon, food, sex, and sex are the true qualities of a man. It's all because you are so beautiful, I can't help myself."

Zhong Tingyue glared at Li Yuan and quickly covered her ears.

"Senior, you agreed to accompany me today, is that still true?"

Li Yuan chuckled and said, "That's for sure. I belong to you today. You can do whatever you want. You can perform your art or sell yourself."

"Bah, bah, bah, who wants you to sell yourself?"

Zhong Tingyue spat, looked at Li Yuan carefully, touched his strong abdominal muscles, and said with a smile:
"But, if you're a performer, that's fine."

"Hiss, hiss." Li Yuan's heart trembled. Little Moon's hand seemed to have some kind of magic power, giving him a feeling of electric shock.

"Little Moon, how do you want me to perform?"

Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips and snickered: "Write another song for me."

"I don't want a sad song like "Nan Shan Nan", I want a sweet song."

Li Yuan was speechless. Among the four girls around him, Xia Zhijin seemed to be the only one who couldn't sing.

The other three seem to be quite versatile.

Needless to say, Xiao Yu'er has an angelic voice and is chased by God to feed her. Once she debuts, she can become a singing queen with little effort, but she is not interested at all, she just likes reading and music.

Bai Weixi is also very good at singing. Although she is far from the level of a professional singer, she is still outstanding among ordinary girls.

Zhong Tingyue was somewhere in between, and the "Nan Shan Nan" she sang that night also had a unique charm.

Li Yuan rubbed Zhong Tingyue's hair, pinched her beautiful and flawless face, and asked with a wicked smile:

"Little Moon, if I write a song for you, how can you thank me?"

Zhong Tingyue patted off Li Yuan's dirty hands, her eyes formed crescents, and she said with a smile: "That depends on your performance."

Li Yuan was a little excited. Looking at Zhong Tingyue's fairy-like face, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a mischievous smile:
"What if I behave well?"

Zhong Tingyue snorted: "Then I can grant you a request that is not excessive."

Li Yuan continued to ask: "Little Moon, what do you mean by a request that is not excessive?"

Zhong Tingyue snorted: "You can guess for yourself, I won't tell you."

Li Yuan chuckled and rubbed her head. The classic songs he had heard in his previous life came to mind. There were indeed a few sweet songs that were suitable.

"Little Moon, wait until I go back and think about it carefully before writing to you."

Zhong Tingyue's eyes lit up, blooming like flowers, and she replied briskly: "Yeah, okay, I'm just waiting for writer Li's new work."

Li Yuan looked at the time, it was around five o'clock in the afternoon, and asked:

"Little Moon, do you want to go shopping somewhere else?"

Zhong Tingyue asked curiously: "Senior, where are you going to take me?"

Li Yuan asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Zhong Tingyue snorted: "Senior, why don't you make plans and schedules when you date a girl?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but feel ashamed. He really hadn't thought about it that much. Dating a girl just meant going shopping, walking on the street, watching movies, and eating.

The relationship is in place, plus going to the hotel, getting a one-stop service, galloping on the fertile fields for half the night, and you're done.

Li Yuan asked tentatively: "Well, let's go shopping?"

He doesn't like shopping. In his previous life, one of the things he hated most was going shopping with his girlfriend, no matter which girlfriend she was.

Because shopping means spending money, which is a huge torment for empty-handed men.

Things are different now. With a bulging wallet, you can make a fortune just by going shopping.

Li Yuan originally thought that Zhong Tingyue would agree, but unexpectedly, she refused directly.

Zhong Tingyue said with a smile: "Senior, I don't want to go shopping. Otherwise, let's go see a movie."

"Watching a movie?" Li Yuan was startled when he heard this, and felt a weird and ridiculous feeling in his heart. Could he be watching "Wall-E" again?

In all his past and present lives, he has read it more than ten times.

In the past few days, I watched "Wall-E" with Xia Zhijin and Zhong Tingyue respectively.

Li Yuan muttered to himself: "Although I have watched the movie several times, watching it with different girlfriends gives me a completely different feeling."

"Besides, the movie theater is indeed a good place for a date. As long as there is no movie in your eyes and your hands and mouth are diligent, it will be very enjoyable."
