Chapter Eight Hundred and Eighth Mother-in-Law's Birthday

Early the next morning, Xiao Yunhai received a call from Kerry.

When the four major publishing houses saw that Xiao Yunhai had not been dealt with by the 3K Party, they began to ask for relationships everywhere, looking for someone to intercede with Xiao Yunhai.

200 million US dollars is still affordable for them, but 500 million plus all the profits of "Harry Potter", this is a bit too high.

Because everyone in Hollywood knew that Kerry had the best relationship with Xiao Yunhai, so they looked around and finally found Kerry.

Xiao Yunhai recounted the matter of the KKK. After Kerry listened to it, he said angrily, "These publishing houses are really thick-skinned. They have the face to ask me to intercede with them for doing such a thing."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Kerry, since they found you, of course I want to give you this face. Well, let them give me 200 million dollars first, and the remaining 300 million will come from the future Harry Potter books. "Deducted from the profits?"

Kerry said in surprise: "Oh my God, I heard it right. Are you going to give them a few other Harry Potter volumes for distribution?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Of course. Don't you think this is a good idea?"

After this incident, the four major publishing houses will never dare to trouble themselves, let alone steal the sales of "Harry Potter".

In this way, compared to Xiao Yunhai finding other publishing houses that he is not very familiar with, it is naturally more reassuring.

Kerry thought for a moment, and then said with admiration: "Even the world-famous four major European publishing houses have been played with applause by you, Xiao, you are really amazing."

Xiao Yunhai said: "You don't praise me. How about it? This good man made you do it, should you treat me to a meal?"

Kerry laughed, "No problem.

"

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yunhai met the heads of the four publishing houses again.

At this time, the attitude of the four of them towards Xiao Yunhai was completely different from yesterday, and they were very cautious, for fear of angering Xiao Yunhai.

According to Xiao Yunhai's conditions, the four not only paid a hush fee of 800 million US dollars, but also handed him a check of all profits from "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" of 980 million US dollars. Finally, in the witness of the lawyers of both parties A series of unequal treaties were signed.

Xiao Yunhai glanced at the contract, nodded with satisfaction, and smiled at the four of them: "I won't give you the things you want for the time being. When will you pay off the $300 million you owe me, and when will you send them back? People asked me for it. Also, about the future release of Harry Potter, I hope you don't do such stupid things again."

Cole grimaced and said, "Mr. Xiao, don't worry, we won't do this if we kill you."

After securing the four major publishing houses, Xiao Yunhai boarded the plane home with a check of 1.9 billion dollars that night.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of Yanjing time, Xiao Yunhai came out of the airport and saw Li Bing who came to pick him up at a glance.

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Brother Bing, did Wanqing send you here?"

Li Bing nodded and said, "Miss Zhao asked me to send you directly to your father-in-law."

The reason why Xiao Yunhai came back in a hurry was to celebrate his mother-in-law Yan Piaoyun's birthday. If it wasn't for the matter of the four major publishing houses, I'm afraid Xiao Yunhai would have arrived this morning.

Li Bing sent Xiao Yunhai to Zhao Mingsheng's villa and left.

Xiao Yunhai walked into the living room and saw that Zhao Mingsheng was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. He laughed and said, "Dad, you came back early today too."

Zhao Mingsheng put down the newspaper, poured a cup of tea for Xiao Yunhai, and said with a smile, "Do you dare not come back for such a big thing?"

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Hearing Xiao Yunhai's laughter, Yan Piaoyun and Zhao Wanqing who were cooking in the kitchen came out.

Xiao Yunhai said quickly: "Mom, I wish you a happy birthday. I'm really sorry, I originally wanted to go back to China yesterday, and I didn't want to be held back by some things. I had to stay for a long time."

Yan Piaoyun smiled and said: "It's good to be back. You are busy with work, don't delay your business because of me."

Zhao Wanqing giggled and said, "Husband, I don't know what kind of gift you bought?"

Yan Piaoyun touched Zhao Wanqing and said, "You can come back for a meal, which is the best gift you can give me. Besides, Yunhai is a big man, what do you want him to buy."

Xiao Yunhai scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I thought Wanqing had already brought you a gift, so I didn't prepare. However, I made a lot of money in my trip to America this time. Although it's a bit vulgar, it's still me. your mind."

After speaking, Xiao Yunhai ignored Yan Piaoyun's persuasion and took out the six bank checks he got from his bag.

Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Husband, if you want to settle this matter with money, you can't do it without nine figures."

Xiao Yunhai handed the check to Zhao Wanqing, and said cheerfully, "No problem, enough."

Zhao Wanqing casually looked at the check in her hand and said, "Is this the profit from the sale of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"? Yes, it is more than 190 million US dollars, which is much better than the martial arts novels you wrote. ."

Hearing Zhao Wanqing's words, Xiao Yunhai burst into laughter and said, "Wife, I find it is not the right thing to hand over the money to you. Take a good look, is that 190 million?"

Zhao Wanqing was stunned for a while, and after confirming it again, she said in a stunned voice: "This is 1.9 billion US dollars. God, you went out for four or five days, and actually made 1.9 billion. Did you rob the bank?"

Yan Piaoyun next to him and Wang Mingsheng sitting on the sofa also looked at Xiao Yunhai with shocked expressions, and secretly said in their hearts: "This son-in-law is too good to make money."

Xiao Yunhai giggled and said, "I robbed half of the money, but it was not the bank, but the four major publishing houses in Europe. They still owe me US$1.2 billion."

Wang Mingsheng asked in surprise: "What the hell is going on?"

So, Xiao Yunhai recounted what happened in the past few days from beginning to end.

After listening to Zhao Wanqing, she shook her head with a wry smile and said, "The four publishing houses are really stupid. Whoever provokes you is not good enough to provoke you. Now, the lesson is too profound. Mom, I'll give you one, even if it's your birthday. gift."

Yan Piaoyun quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm a housewife, what do I need so much money for? You should save it, and use it later when you encounter important things."

Wang Mingsheng sighed and said: "Your mother is right. Hey, Yunhai, I've been in contact with you for a long time, and I've been hit so hard. After working hard for a lifetime, it's not as much as what you earn in a few days. It's really people-to-people comparisons, maddening people."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "You are a career, I am just fooling around. The nature is different."

Yan Piaoyun said: "Husband, don't talk about it. If you go on, your dad will cry. You can make so much money by fooling around. If you get serious, it's worth it."

The whole family laughed.

Seeing that her mother didn't want it, Zhao Wanqing didn't persuade her any more. She put the check in her bag and said, "Husband, go to the bank with me tomorrow and save the money."

Xiao Yunhai said: "No problem."
