Chapter 1588: Get it right
The time came to half past ten without realizing it, and the negotiations between Chu Heng and Chrissy also reached a stalemate.
Chrissy and others have repeatedly made concessions, and have increased the starting point of the ladder royalty from 5% to 6%, and also increased the initial threshold of sales from the initial 10,000 The cost was reduced to 8,000.
In other words, if a book does not exceed 8,000 yuan, its royalty is 6%. If it exceeds, it will automatically enter the next step.
But Chu Heng and the others were still not satisfied with this, insisting on a starting point royalty of 6.5% and an initial threshold of 5,000 books.
Seeing that he really couldn't persuade them, Chrissy, who was not in a good condition, showed a little irritability.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He glanced at Chu Heng, who was sitting leisurely opposite him eating snacks. The irritability in his heart suddenly became more intense. Planning to continue fighting with them, he stood up and used his trump card: "Chu, if you still insist on your If there are conditions, I think I can only give up this transaction, because I can't see your sincerity."
The subordinates around him who had been angry for a long time were stunned when they saw this. He was a little surprised by this move and felt that he was a little anxious. It was far from time to use this killer move.
However, as their subordinates, they naturally would not contradict their boss at this time, so they all stood up to cooperate and made a gesture of leaving.
“I agree!”
"Then let's go."
"It should have been done a long time ago."
"When did you become blind? You can't see sincerity! I tell you, Chrissy, The starting point of 6.5% is already the most sincerity I can show!" Chu Heng glanced at these people with a sneer, and raised his hand nonchalantly to say goodbye! Gesture: "Since you are not satisfied with this, please leave, and I will find better buyers for these books."
"By the way, there is one thing I want to remind you, if If you dare to walk out of this room now, this transaction will be permanently terminated!"
"..."
The room fell silent instantly.
Although Li Jiangqi and others' faces remained unchanged, they all became nervous in their hearts. Some clenched their fists, and some used drinking water to cover up. They were all secretly gauging the reaction of the other party, for fear of Chu Heng If you let go, the other party will really leave.
When Chrissy and the others, who had just resolutely prepared to leave, heard Chu Heng's words, they all froze in place, with blank expressions on their faces.
Why didn’t this follow the script?
On the way to negotiate, Chrissy had a brief exchange with his colleagues. At that time, he vowed to tell others that they were the only buyers of the books in Chu Heng’s hands, and The other party is also very eager to sell these books, so if necessary, they can threaten to cancel the transaction to force the other party to make concessions.
Now, they have come up with their trump card, but the other party not only refuses to give in, but also has no intention of staying.
As a result, Chrissy and others, who had planned to show off, were in a difficult position for a while. They could neither leave nor sit down.
The subordinates blinked and looked at the boss with questioning eyes.
What to do?
To go or not to go?
Under their gaze, Krissy frowned at Chu Heng who was calm and calm, and felt a little unsure in her heart. She didn't know if he was just showing off or if he was really not afraid of them leaving.
It was silent for a few seconds.
After all, Krissy still didn’t dare to gamble. She twitched the corner of her mouth, tried hard to put on a fake smile on her face, and sat back naturally: "Haha, I was kidding you, Chu. I didn’t expect you to be serious.”
It’s not shameful. For capitalists, face is dispensable in the face of money.
As long as you can make money, it doesn't matter what you do!
When the others saw this, they also sat back coquettishly. They felt that they had lost face and even lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the person opposite.
It can be seen from this that these people are destined to be unable to establish themselves as capitalists, and those who cannot be bosses will only be workers for the rest of their lives.
"Your joke is not funny at all." Chu Hengpi glanced at Chrissy with a smile, picked up the cigarette case on the table, lit a cigarette leisurely and took a puff.
"Maybe you are not used to our American humor." Chrissie shrugged and said in a thoughtful tone: "But it is not an option to remain in a stalemate like this now. I suggest that we should terminate the negotiations first. , go back, have something to eat, adjust your state, and sort out your thoughts. How about starting over in the afternoon?”
"Not very good." Chu Heng looked at him sideways and said in a calm tone: "None of you are allowed to leave this room before the terms are negotiated. If anyone dares to go out, this negotiation will be declared over!"
Chrissy's face darkened instantly and she glared at Chu Heng: " What are you going to do?! Do you really think we have to accept your book? "
"You can leave if you don't want to!" Chu. Heng crossed his legs and raised his finger to point at the door, looking very indifferent.
"You..."
Chrissy gritted her teeth and stared at him, her face turning green and white several times, but in the end she still didn't dare to give up the deal out of anger. , he sighed dejectedly, rubbed his swollen temples, and said: "Damn it! You really don't look like a Chinese at all! You are simply a complete villain!"
"You win, Chu, we can start again."
Seeing this, Jiang Fanghao and others let out a long sigh of relief.
"That's right." Chu Heng laughed and sat upright, continuing the previous topic: "So, do you have any other opinions on the starting point of 6.5 that we proposed?"< br>
“Of course we don’t agree, six percent have This is already our biggest bottom line, which is already very high for a new author.”
“In this case, we might as well take a step back and agree to a starting point of 6% and an initial sales threshold. To be reduced to four thousand.”
"Are you kidding?!"
A tug-of-war started again, but the momentum of the Chrissy side who lost the initiative was much weaker than before. Coupled with physical fatigue and Under mental pressure, they quickly made compromises again and again in trials.
It went on like this until around two o'clock in the afternoon, when the two parties finally negotiated preliminary terms and signed a draft agreement on the spot.
In the end, the royalties for those more than 100 books will be 6% as the starting point. When the sales reach 5,000 to 20,000, it will rise to 7%, and 20,000 to 20,000. Forty thousand is 8%, and so on, the highest is 20%, but the sales volume is also very high, reaching more than 300,000 copies.
It can be said that if calculated according to this condition, Chrissy basically did not take advantage of Chu Heng. Of course, he definitely still made some money, but it was just a little less. .
But for a capitalist who drinks human blood, less profit means loss. When Chrissy signed the draft agreement, his mood was heavier than when his grandfather died.
