Chapter 511

After Li Rong left, Xiao Yunhai called Kerry and Jesse respectively and asked them to get together in the evening.

When they heard it, they had no objection.

In the afternoon, they came to the French restaurant for the first time.

After sitting down, Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "it seems that the two nobles don't learn much about etiquette. The host didn't come, but he ate it first. It's very impolite. "

Kerry, with a smile, said: "in your Chinese words, we are our own people. What are our own people and our own people?"

Jessie took a sip of red wine on one side, and with a satisfied look on her face, she said, "the Lafite of '82 is not ordinary."

Xiao Yunhai's face changed. He pointed to the bottle of red wine and asked, "is this Lafite in 1982? Authentic? "

Jesse said: "I'll give you all my assurance. It's a real 82 Raffi. It's totally different from what's on the market. Sixty thousand dollars a bottle. It's really worth it. "

Xiao Yunhai listened and asked with a smile, "you two, I don't know who is going to treat you today?"

Kerry and Jesse looked at each other, pointed to Xiao Yunhai and said, "of course it's you."

Xiao Yunhai sighed, "you two are really cruel. Kerry, don't pour me a drink. I don't like red wine all the time, but I have to try something so expensive. "

Kerry grinned, picked up the bottle and poured it into Xiao Yunhai's glass. He said, "Xiao, would you like to taste it first?"

Xiao Yunhai took a sip, frowned slightly, and said, "it's sour and astringent. It's really hard to drink."

Kerry said with a smile to Jesse, "I'll tell you, Shaw can't taste red wine at all."

Jesse said with a smile, "does that mean this bottle of wine is for us?"

Kerry said: "Shaw is a generous man, of course, will not rob us."

When he heard the two singing together, Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "OK, don't worry, I won't fight with you. Jesse, how are my books selling? "

Jesse said with a smile, "if it doesn't sell well, how can Kerry and I order such a good wine?"

Xiao Yunhai's eyes narrowed and said, "how many books?"

Jesse said, "yesterday 563200 copies, today 498700 copies, plus the first day of 325700 copies, in just three days, we sold 1387600 copies. Shaw, Harry Potter has been popular all over the country. News about your book is all over the Internet and on TV. There's nothing wrong with the five million copies you've printed. "

Xiao Yunhai said happily, "that's great. I knew Harry Potter would be on fire. "

Jesse said, "but we've run out of $30 million in publicity. Xiao, do you want to continue to publicize? That's it. "

"What do you think I should do best?" Xiao asked

Jesse clenched her fist and said excitedly, "keep up, of course. If you can give me another 10 million dollars, I promise to make Harry Potter the world of America. "

Xiao Yunhai continued to publicize. By the way, I ask you a very vulgar question. How much money can I make if five million copies are sold? "

Jesse said: "our price is thirty-two dollars, and you can make 14 dollars for a book after deducting the annoying government taxes and printing costs. Five million copies, that's 70 million dollars. "

Hearing the net income of 70 million dollars, Xiao Yunhai mouth showed a happy smile.

Although Xiao Yunhai paid nearly $100 million for the sale of Harry Potter, it is clear that this business is still a steady profit.

Because he got all the copyright of five Harry Potter books, and the other two that Rowling had in mind were signed into the contract.

Therefore, as long as the first Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone can gain good reputation and great influence in the United States, even if Xiao Yunhai doesn't earn a cent, he will be very happy.

Kerry sighed, "you know what, Shaw? When I heard about the sales of Harry Potter, I even had the heart to die. At the beginning, how could I not see that it could be so powerful. If I had known, I would never have given it to you. "

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "this is the feeling of a writer. Is there any Raffi? I'm happy today. Please have another bottle. "

"It's great to have one in this restaurant," Jesse said. "Where will there be a second one?"

Xiao Yunhai shrugged his shoulders and said, "there is no way. Kerry, have you ever thought about making this novel into a movie

Kerry's eyes brightened and he said, "will you sell me five copies of Harry Potter for five million dollars?"

Xiao Yunhai asked with a smile: "what do you say?"

Kerry sighed, "you're so cunning, of course not."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "it's good that you know. Kerry, the success of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone is inevitable. With a large readership, as long as the quality of the adapted film is up to standard, it will certainly attract countless fans into the cinema, and there is absolutely no problem at the box office. I'm going to ask you now, do you want to shootKerry thought for a while and said, "if I want to shoot, Xiao, what price will you offer?"

Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Kerry, you are wrong. I will not sell it, but I can participate."

Kerry frowned and asked suspiciously, "I don't understand what you mean."

Xiao Yunhai explained: "I think the film adapted from this novel will definitely have a very high box office. So, I want to be an investor in it. "

Kerry said, "that's great. How much money can you offer? "

Xiao Yunhai said: "45% of the investment plus the film copyright of Harry Potter, in exchange for half of the box office profits."

Kerry shook his head and said, "Shaw, you don't know what's going on in Hollywood. "Harry Potter" film copyright can not be exchanged for 5% of the box office share, up to 3%

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Kerry, if the sales of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone can exceed 10 million copies, do you still think that its film adaptation right can't exchange for 5% of the box office share?"

Kerry said: "if it's 10 million copies, there's no problem. But do you think it can be achieved? "

Xiao Yunhai said confidently, "yes, certainly."

"I also believe it will sell more than 10 million copies," Jesse interrupted

"Why?" Kerry asked

"Because America is the center of global culture and entertainment," Jessie said. For books with good results in the United States, within a short time, major publishers from all over the world, especially in European countries, will send people to discuss cooperation. This has been the practice of publishing houses for 20 years. "

Kerry thought about it and said, "Xiao, for the sake of being good brothers, will you do me a favor?"

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yunhai said

Kerry solemnly said: "let me reserve the film adaptation right of this novel. It won't take too long. It will be half a month. If it sells more than five million copies in the United States, I'll sign a contract with you. What do you think? "

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "of course, there is no problem."

Kerry said happily, "Shaw, I really appreciate it."

Xiao Yunhai said, "don't be polite. By the way, Jesse, you just said that publishers from other countries may come to discuss the cooperation of Harry Potter, right

Jessie nodded and said, "that's right. If Harry Potter's performance is the same in the next few days, I think they'll smell it

Xiao Yunhai asked, "how do you usually cooperate?"

Jessie said: "it's almost like us. It's self financing, sharing and buying out. Xiao, you don't have to choose your own expenses, do you? I tell you, these people are not good things. If no one looks at them, a large part of your money is expected to go into their pockets. "

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "don't worry, I'm not so stupid. Jesse, when they come, let me know. I'll fly back in person and have a good talk with them

Jessie nodded and said, "no problem. Here, to the success of Harry Potter. "

"Cheers."
