Chapter 804 Negotiations

Jesse picked up the photo and looked at it seriously, frowning more and more the more he looked.

Xiao Yunhai said: "When the four major publishing houses released the first "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", they secretly did this kind of shameful deeds, and then they gave up when they saw that it was impossible to do. .Although they did it secretly, the financial staff I sent from time to time saw the clues from the sales report. This time, I found a private detective to watch them secretly for me, and this is the result."

After reading the information, Jesse looked very serious and asked, "How much did they hide?"

Xiao Yunhai said, "At least ten million copies."

Jesse took a deep breath and said in shock, "They're too cruel, they're just crazy."

Xiao Yunhai said: "If it is 1.8 million volumes, I don't care. Every industry has its own unspoken rules. Fish. But secretly printing more than 10 million copies and putting them on the market is too blatant."

Jesse nodded and said, "According to the price they set, the sales of 10 million copies can make a profit of almost 150 million US dollars. This is already a very big crime. However, Xiao, I hope you are the best. It can be private. They can become world-class publishing houses, and the energy behind them is very large. If you make these things directly public, the loss of the four publishing houses will be unprecedented. In this way, I am afraid that they will be against you unfavorable."

Xiao Yunhai said: "I understand what you mean. To be honest, I don't want to have a revenge against them. But since they have done such a thing, no matter what, I must seek justice. No matter how much they eat, they must Spit it out for me. Otherwise, they really think that I, Xiao Yunhai, are easy to bully."

Jessie said embarrassedly, "Xiao, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have introduced them to you."

Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said with a smile: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Jesse, you help me get them over, I want to have a good talk with them. If we can't talk about it, we can only see it in court."

Jesse nodded,

Said: "Okay, I'll call them right away."

In front of Xiao Yunhai, Jesse called the four major European publishing houses and asked them to come to Los Angeles tomorrow to discuss matters related to the "Harry Potter" series of novels.

After the call, Jesse asked, "Xiao, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Yunhai sneered and said, "They have to pay for their greed. In addition to spitting out what they ate, I also want each of them to pay me a $200 million hush fee."

Hearing that, Jesse laughed and said, "You guys are more ruthless than them. However, I believe they will honestly pay you two hundred million dollars, otherwise, their losses will be even greater."

At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, Xiao Yunhai came to the conference room of Crown Publishing House.

This time, Xiao Yunhai's old acquaintances came to negotiate, such as Cole from Macmillan Publishing Company in the United Kingdom, Louis from French Seyi Publishing House, Darren from Italian Mondadori Publishing House, and Bertelsmann from Germany. Green of the Publishing Group.

Xiao Yunhai shook hands with the four of them calmly. Jesse asked the staff to serve them a cup of coffee and said, "I'm very glad that the four of you can come to my Crown Press. This time, Mr. Xiao proposed, I called everyone here. If you have anything, you can talk about it."

Cole took a sip of coffee and said, "Mr. Xiao, congratulations on your "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" selling 130 million copies worldwide. This is the best result in ten years."

Xiao Yunhai said playfully: "Mr. Cole, did you make a mistake? It should be more than 140 million copies."

Xiao Yunhai knew that it would be a waste of time to be arrogant with these guys, so he came up and took the matter aside.

Cole's face changed, his pupils shrank slightly, and said, "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean? Why can't I understand?"

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "You are so happy to cooperate with Lacey Bookstore and Fantasy Bookstore, how can you not understand."

The four looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.

Darren said: "Rice and Fantasy are two of the largest bookstore chains in Europe, and of course we have to partner with them."

Xiao Yunhai sneered: "Did you cooperate to trap me together?"

Darren frowned and forced a smile: "How come? Mr. Xiao really can joke?"

Xiao Yunhai's eyes were like swords, he looked at Darren and said, "I never joke."

Xiao Yunhai threw the copied materials on the table, and said coldly, "Everyone can take a look at these things, I think you should be very interested."

The four of them picked up the information and looked at it.

Time passed by minute by minute, but the four of them felt that their life was like a year. In the end, all faces turned pale.

Cole put down the documents first, adjusted his glasses, and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Xiao, what do you want?"

Seeing everything that can kill him, Cole no longer has any intention of arguing, and at the same time, he also deeply understands an idiom in Huaxia, "Man is the knife and I am the fish."

Xiao Yunhai said: "First of all, I have to correct all the mistakes, and don't miss one copy. Second, each publishing house needs to pay me a sealing fee of 200 million US dollars."

When Louis heard this, he stood up and said, "Mr. Xiao, your request is too much. Two hundred million dollars, God, even if it is a court judgment, it will never be so high."

Xiao Yunhai said, "Since that's the case, let's meet in court."

Cole said quickly: "Mr. Xiao, don't get me wrong, Louis didn't mean that."

Xiao Yunhai said coldly: "I don't care what you mean. I just want you to understand one thing, that is, the two conditions just now are not to be discussed with you, but an ultimatum from me. If you can't be the master, you You can call and ask the person who has become the master."

Darren slapped the table and said angrily, "Does Mr. Xiao want to kill us? Let me tell you, our four major publishing houses are not so easy to take advantage of."

Xiao Yunhai smiled directly and said, "Are you threatening me?"

Darren sneered: "So what?"

Xiao Yunhai stood up, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he exuded a powerful aura, and said, "Mr. Darren, it's not that I look down on you. If you want to play black with me, I'm afraid you won't be able to. Believe it or not, As long as I make a phone call, not only will you not be able to go back, but even your family members will follow you to see God."

Darren said angrily, "Are you scaring us?"

"Scare?" Xiao Yunhai snorted and sneered: "Yes, I'm just trying to scare you guys. I'm sorry, I still have something to do. I'll talk about it today. Before two o'clock in the afternoon, if I don't see the eight A cash check of 100 million dollars, then everyone can only see it in court.”

After speaking, Xiao Yunhai walked out the door.

Seeing that he was about to walk out of the conference room, Xiao Yunhai suddenly stopped and said, "Everyone, I've already shown mercy. I can buy these things for a mere $200 million. I think it's very worthwhile."

After Xiao Yunhai left, Jesse quickly slipped out when he saw that something was wrong.
