Chapter 67 Sharing Contract
Seeing Tang Jun's unhappy expression, Zhang Yu also knew that the other party must have made him a little more irritable. He didn't care either and said with a smile: "The variable is that if I continue to write wonderful works equivalent to Xiaoao Jianghu, then the ten-year buyout period and the final sales volume of 500,000 copies will not hold. So. Three million buys out my Xiaoao Jianghu! I won't agree."
When Tang Jun and Liu Jingchen heard this, they looked at each other, and then turned to confirm Zhang Yu's confident expression again, and raised their middle fingers at the same time. Na! What are you thinking, boy.
The odds of you writing consecutive and equally wonderful works in a whimsical way are lower than the odds of walking in Tiananmen Square and stepping on an American-style landmine.
Tang Jun pondered the wording and said, "Mr. Zhang! It's not that I want to blow your self-confidence. As for you saying that you can write two novels of the same quality in a row! I am skeptical about this. Let's put it this way. I personally in the literary publishing industry, although I dare not say that I am Taishan Beidou, but I have been immersed in it for many years. It's not that there is no such thing as you said, but it is very rare, and the possibility of it being so small can almost be ignored. Instead of putting unwarranted confidence in the next book, Mr. Zhang should try to sell this book at a high price, which I think is the right choice."
Zhang Yu said: "Hey, editor-in-chief Tang, you can say that I am arrogant or arrogant! Personally, I think I know my own affairs. I have already done it in my mind for the next work! So I don't need this confidence."
Tang Junxian and Liu Jingchen looked at each other and said, "Mr. Zhang means that you already have the next work in your hand?"
Zhang Yu showed an unfathomable look on his face, smiled, shook his head and said, "No! There is only an outline at the moment."
When the two heard this, they almost fell to the ground, and immediately gave Zhang Yu a blank look. I scolded secretly, only the outline, you talk shit, I also said that I have an idea that can sell for 100 million. Reliable, please! boy!
At this time, Tang Jun was going to say that he was sitting a bit on the wax. Just now, he thought that although Zhang Yu was young, he was stable and he should have a better contract. But now this Zhang Yu has become arrogant again in a blink of an eye, and his words are a little bit broken. What can I do?
The atmosphere around is a little awkward! No one spoke.
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "I think so! Let's not talk about a buyout agreement. Let's talk about a share agreement! I'm more interested in a share agreement than a buyout."
When Tang Jun heard this, he felt helpless. Since the other party did not intend to buy it out, he could only talk about the split. Dao: "Since Mr. Zhang has no intention of selling the copyright of Xiaoao Jianghu, then we can only negotiate a sharing agreement. Now let me tell you what are the details of the sharing agreement.
Generally, as long as the author agrees, we can choose 50 to 50 percent without any additional clauses. It means that all kinds of tax burdens are removed from the books sold, and the remaining pure profit is divided into half.
However, in the sharing agreement, we also have to split the risk due to the sale.
Because the sharing agreement is actually a kind of cooperation agreement with equal rights between the two parties, the company is only responsible for trivial matters such as publishing and arranging one batch of two batches of sellers.
As for the quality of the work and the extent to which it can be brought to the market, it belongs to the author's rights. Because the interests and rights of both parties are equal, the company has no way to bear this part of the risk for the other party. After the book is put on the market, it is only reasonable for the author to bear the same distribution risk in case of unsalable phenomenon.
However, Mr. Zhang does not need to worry too much. During the release stage of the works, all expenses are paid by the company in advance, and only after the unsalable sales occur, will Mr. Zhang pay the other half. If there is no slow sales, then the cost of issuance will be deducted from the gross sales profit.
Of course, this kind of contract like us will also have a clear standard. For example, if your book of The Swordsman is released to the market, the book will sell well.
Even if it reaches a certain scale, the company will adjust your share ratio accordingly, but the maximum share ratio can be raised to about six layers.
But I still want to persuade Mr. Zhang to think about it carefully. If your Xiaoao Jianghu only sold 200,000 sets after it was put on the market, then the net profit will only be around 1.8 million yuan. You and the company will each share 50%, and you will get 900,000 yuan. Converted to the number of words, only 900 yuan per thousand words. Compared with three yuan per word, there can be a big difference. So you have to think carefully about it! "
After Tang Jun finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yu, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, afraid that this kid would not be able to say it! That would be really bad.
Zhang Yu thought about it for a while, and felt that at the moment, this was the biggest profit he could get. Although my own works are first-class works, after all, I am not a super-first-class author at the moment. No matter what the situation is, it depends on the specific facts, and I can't open my mouth.
Zhang Yu thought about it for a long time, nodded, and said, "I think it's a sharing agreement! I prefer sharing, and it is my choice to make more and less, and I will never blame you."
Tang Jun heard that this was a complete relaxation. Although he didn't talk about a buyout in the end, it was only a share, but that was better than a collapse.
Tang Jun took out a contract clause that had been prepared in the company for a long time from the document bag, handed it to Zhang Yu, and said, "Mr. Zhang, please take a look, this is our company's contract terms and conditions, and it contains everything about sharing sales. Details of the content.”
Zhang Yu took the document handed over by Tang Jun, but didn't open it, and said, "I won't read it here! I'll take it back and read it, you know that I have class in the afternoon. If it's convenient, we'd better have a lecture after ten o'clock in the evening. Let's meet again here and negotiate the rest of the contract."
Tang Jun nodded, he couldn't help it, whoever asked high school students, the time was tight. He and Liu Jingchen were afraid that they would be staying in Zhonghai City for one day.
Several people have made an appointment to meet for the evening! separated again.
On the way back to school, Zhang Yu had briefly read the contract in the taxi. Except for some small details, the contract was quite satisfactory, and there were not many pitfalls.
Zhang Yu went back to school in the afternoon. After class, he felt sleepy again. He slept all afternoon, ate dinner, and persisted until the end of the evening self-study.
When Zhang Yu left school, he took another taxi and returned to Haitian Business Hotel.
Tang Jun and Liu Jingchen had already been waiting here, and the three sat down and discussed the details of the contract in detail.
After all, Zhang Yu now has a considerable legal basis, so he naturally pointed out some areas where the rights and interests of both parties in the contract were ambiguous and required amendments. To know this move, Tang and Liu were quite surprised. After all, this kind of legal clause has been in operation for many years, and it is already quite mature. But in this way, the other party can also find out the crux of the problem. Could it be that the other party really studied law?
It is possible to say that Zhang Yu is a college student. However, he is only a high school student, where did he come from such proficient legal knowledge? Are his parents both lawyers? It's homeschooling.
Tang Jun and Liu Jingchen had a lot of suspicion in their hearts, but they didn't have much time to think about it right now, so they had to follow Zhang Yu's request and call the legal counsel of their company to ask Zhang Yu's request, whether it was okay Revise. You must know that although both of them are often engaged in signing contracts, it is only under the condition that the terms and conditions are not in dispute. If there is a dispute between the two parties, if necessary, the company's professional legal counsel still needs remote assistance.
Zhang Yu and the legal counsel of Apex Novel had a heated discussion on some details on the phone, and finally the final contract terms were finalized.
