LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 16
“Mr. Zhou, what do you think?” Ye Yunzhou did not continue to argue with the marketing manager. He knew that the other party was an old hand. He turned to look at Zhou Tianwang. Only professionals could understand the value of these songs.
Zhou Tianwang certainly knew the value of these songs, but this was pure money. Although he was already an Asian king, he could not afford it if it was too expensive.
Zhou Tianwang did not speak, but looked at the marketing manager, meaning that he should bargain.
“How about this, we will buy out all of them at 8000 RMB per word.”
“15000 RMB per word.”
“Too expensive, at most 9000 RMB per word.”
“14000 RMB per word.”
“10000 RMB per word, this is the highest price given by the company’s senior management. If it is higher, it can only mean that we have no chance of getting these songs.”
Ye Yunzhou thought for a moment, which was also within his psychological expectations.
“Deal.”
Ye Yunzhou stood up and shook hands with the other party. The next step is to confirm the number of words in each song, which Ye Yunzhou had already counted before coming.
After both parties counted and confirmed, the 11 songs totaled 5,460 words and a total of 54.6 million RMB. After the two parties signed the contract, the financial director of Zhou Tianwang’s company directly arranged for the company to pay the money. Fortunately, their company has a branch in the mainland, and directly using the branch’s account reduces a lot of trouble.
Because Ye Yunzhou had his own bank card after high school, and the copyright application was also in Ye Yunzhou’s name, in order to facilitate subsequent tax payments, the transaction amount was directly transferred to Ye Yunzhou’s card.
“Mr. Zhou, you have come here with great difficulty. We have to do our best to be a good host. Today I will treat you and take you to eat our Lincheng specialties.” After the transaction was completed, Ye Yunzhou was in a good mood and cordially invited Zhou Tianwang and his party to a private restaurant to taste local delicacies. During the meal, both the host and the guest enjoyed the wine.
“Mr. Zhou, I bought a few of your albums. Can you please sign them for me?” Ye Yunzhou’s father finally found an opportunity to ask for his idol’s autograph. He didn’t dare to ask before the deal was settled, fearing that it would affect his son’s negotiation. Now he can take photos and ask for autographs without any worries.
“……”
“Mr. Xiao Ye, I admire your musical talent so much. I hope you can write more songs and we can cooperate more in the future.” Zhou Tianwang looked at Ye Yunzhou and said.
“Of course, no problem, but you know, songwriting requires inspiration. When inspiration comes, it can be done in one go. When there is no inspiration, no matter how hard you try, it’s useless. If you force yourself, what you write is garbage.”
After hearing this, Zhou Tianwang agreed with him. He himself is also a master of lyrics and music. When inspiration comes, he can indeed write a classic in half an hour or less.
“By the way, Mr. Zhou, you know Mr. Lin JJ and Mr. Wang LH, right? I got some inspiration when I listened to their songs before, and I also tailored a few songs for them. Can you tell me their contact information?”
King Zhou was very surprised that he had written songs for other singers.
“Mr. Ye, can you show me these songs?”
Ye Yunzhou was not stingy and directly showed King Zhou the songs he prepared for Lin JJ and Wang LH. King Zhou looked at it for a long time, “Well, the quality is top-notch, and it is indeed suitable for them.”
King Zhou gave Ye Yunzhou his contact information and sent a message to his two friends.
Ye Yunzhou also looked forward to the next cooperation with these two.
After dinner, King Zhou and his party still needed to go to the Copyright Bureau, but Ye Yunzhou didn’t have to go with him, because all copyright transfer contracts had been signed.
Ye Yunzhou followed his father to the tax bureau to file taxes. It is definitely not possible not to pay taxes for such a large transaction. Because it was a personal transfer, he had to pay personal income tax according to the royalties. After the final calculation, 8.736 million RMB in taxes were paid. So far, Ye Yunzhou has almost 46 million RMB left, which is the property that Ye Yunzhou can completely control.
After returning home, Ye Zhenting always felt a little unreal, as if he was dreaming.
“Son, pinch me to see if I am dreaming?”
“Dad, calm down, it’s not a big deal, it’s just a small amount of money.” Ye Yunzhou looked at his father and felt a little funny and sad. He has been a teacher for more than ten years, but his annual salary is less than 30,000 yuan. Although 30,000 yuan is not a small amount in this era, it can buy more than ten square meters of real estate in a provincial capital city like Lincheng.
“Dad, you and my mother can apply for resignation and enjoy life at home. I will support you in the future, and you can do something you like.” Ye Yunzhou looked at his father and said
“But we have been teaching for more than ten years, we can’t do anything else.? What will we do after resigning? “Ye Yunzhou’s father said to himself.
“Dad, you have to let go of your imagination. What are your hobbies? What was your dream?”
“But I’m already 40 years old. Do I still have a chance to do it now?” Ye Yunzhou’s father thought that he did have a dream, but in order to support his family and pursue a stable life, he chose the profession of teacher.
“Dad, do you know when Mr. Ren founded Warwick? 43 years old. Do you know how old the old man who founded KFC was? 66 years old. Do you know how old Jiang Ziya was when he was made a marquis and a prime minister? 80 years old. You are only 40 years old now, you are still young. ”
“But my dream is to form a football team. Is there still a chance now? ”
“Well, Dad, if you really like football, wait for your son to make a lot of money and buy you a football team in Europe for you to manage. Forget about forming a football team yourself. “Even Wang Jianling, the richest man in Xia, can’t play Xia’s football, let alone ordinary people.
“……”
“Crack”, the doctor of the First People’s Hospital of Lingwu Province had just finished examining Ye Yunzhou and hung up the water and went back, and Ye Yunzhou’s mother came back.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ye Zhenting knew that his wife was back, and he sobered up immediately. He didn’t drink much at ordinary times, but today he drank two more glasses when he saw his idol.
“Why is there a strong smell of alcohol? Did you drink today?” Li Wanrong frowned and asked.
“Hehe, business negotiations, you always have to drink some wine. By the way, wife, do you know how much your son’s song sold today?” Ye Zhenting looked proud at this time.
“How much? Tens of thousands of yuan?”
“Guess again, guess boldly.”
“Hundreds of thousands?”
“Guess again.”
“Is it hundreds of thousands?” Li Wanrong was surprised.
Ye Zhenting still shook his head.
“How much? Tell me now, or I’ll teach you a lesson.”
Seeing that the tigress was about to lose her temper, Ye Zhenting didn’t dare to hide it anymore.
“46 million, after tax.”
“How much did you say?” Li Wanrong thought she had heard wrongly.
“It’s 46 million, after tax.”
“Really? You’re not talking nonsense because you’re drunk. Where’s your son?”
“Son, son…”
Hearing his mother’s call, Ye Yunzhou hurried out of the room.
“Mom, you’re back.”
“Is it true that your dad said your songs sold 46 million?” Ye Yunzhou’s mother said excitedly.
“Of course it’s true, and only 11 songs were sold. “Ye Yunzhou said calmly. For Ye Yunzhou, who used to use certain audio and video platforms and had experienced Porsche and Rolls-Royce per capita, this amount of money was nothing.
Ye Yunzhou’s mother was so shocked that she couldn’t speak. You know, it was 2003, an era when a family with tens of thousands of yuan in savings was considered a wealthy family, and an era when the average house price in a provincial capital city like Lincheng was less than 3,000 yuan. This money could buy more than 100 houses in Lincheng.
“Don’t be too surprised, mom. Your son will make more and more money in the future. By the way, just now my father and I were discussing letting you quit your job and enjoy life at home? ”
Li Wanrong looked at Ye Yunzhou carefully. She never thought that her son could earn more money than they could earn in several lifetimes just by writing a few songs. However, she had to think carefully about her son’s request for them to resign. After all, she had the same idea as Ye Zhenting. He had taught for more than ten years and he would not be able to do anything else now.
That night, Ye Yunzhou’s family was very excited and did not sleep well. Ye Yunzhou could not sleep because he was excited about the next business plan, and Ye’s father and mother could not sleep because they suddenly became a multi-millionaire family.
