Lin Weiwei returned to her room and looked at Su Muqing, who was sitting opposite her. She nodded slightly and said, “The company has allowed it. Central TV is willing to pay 650 million yuan to buy all the copyrights to Drawing Sword.”
Seeing that Central TV agreed so quickly, Su Muqing nodded gently. “Miss Lin, Jiaxing Entertainment has another request. For the television drama Drawing Sword, the company is only willing to sell the full rights for 20 years. Jiaxing Entertainment has the right to use Drawing Sword to generate other follow-up income. Of course, we won’t destroy our own reputation.”
“At the same time, we promise that Drawing Sword will only be broadcasted on Central TV. Twenty years later, Central TV can buy the right to reproduce Drawing Sword at the lowest price.”
Su Muqing said. She knew the importance of a television drama to the company.
Even Central TV was unwilling to sell its permanent broadcasting rights.
Just like a television drama, no matter how long it took, it would be a legend.
For example, the 1986 version of Journey to the West, and television dramas like My Fair Princess.
Classic works would not be afraid of the precipitation of time. Instead, it would become a masterpiece in the hearts of the people because of the precipitation of time.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Weiwei chose to agree.
“Then it’s settled. Negotiating with you is really too much pressure for me. However, Central TV values talent and is still willing to buy this television drama. Miss Su, nice working with you ~” Lin Weiwei said.
“It’s our honor to be able to work with Central TV. We can arrange a signing ceremony for you later. I’ll report to Boss Lin first.” Su Muqing smiled.
She knocked on Lin Fan’s office door and walked in with a contract.
This contract was the contract to sell the copyright to Drawing Sword.
......
“Boss Lin, Central TV is willing to buy the full rights to Drawing Sword. The contract has been drafted and the negotiations have ended. Do you think you can sign the contract?” Su Muqing asked with a smile. As Lin Fan’s assistant, of course, Lin Fan had to make the final decision on such a big matter. She wouldn’t decide for him.
Lin Fan picked up the contract. “How much is it? Let me see.”
It would have been fine if he hadn’t looked. When he did, Lin Fan was shocked.
Central TV was actually willing to pay 650 million!
“650 million? Muqing, my original expectations were only 200 million because the remuneration for the television drama Drawing Sword isn’t high. The production cost isn’t high either. It’s only a small production cost of 40 million,” said Lin Fan.
In other words, the company only spent 40 million yuan to produce Drawing Sword.
An anti-war film did not have a high requirement for special effects.
For example, if he wanted to film a shooting scene, he couldn’t use lasers or special effects like magic bullets.
Just the simple special effects of a gunfight did not cost much.
The filming of “Drawing Sword” was all done by veteran actors. There were also many newcomers, and the price was not high.
It was not difficult to produce a television drama from World War II. There were many such divine dramas in the country. The only difficult thing was to restore history and write interesting scripts that matched the audience’s aesthetics.
Other screenwriters couldn’t do it, but for Lin Fan, it was easy.
Lin Fan continued, “Even if it’s 200 million, our company has earned a lot. We’ve earned a net profit of 160 million. If the television drama can become popular, we can even nurture some actors and promote it for the company.”
Su Muqing widened her innocent eyes and said, “Well… but it’s 650 million.”
Lin Fan walked forward and looked at Su Muqing. “Muqing, did you tell the other party that our company spent more than 200 million on this television drama?”
Su Muqing’s gaze became even more innocent. She nodded and lowered her head like a girl who was being obediently reprimanded.
Lin Fan smiled. “Well done.”
“After deducting the cost and selling it for 650 million, our company can earn a net profit of 610 million.”
“I originally thought that I would have to sell the full rights permanently. I didn’t expect you to only sell it for 20 years. What do you want me to say?” Lin Fan smiled and was a little happy.
Let Su Muqing negotiate and the price would increase by more than three times.
If Lin Fan went to negotiate, it might not be as good as Su Muqing’s negotiation.
Su Muqing was the kind of person who could lie without blushing. When she talked to Lin Weiwei about the price, she made sense.
But in reality, it was not like that at all.
Su Muqing stretched out her hand and blinked her big clear eyes. She said, “Boss Lin, punish me ~ ~ I didn’t do it well.”
Lin Fan walked forward and gently patted Su Muqing’s hand. “With such an assistant, who would be worried about starting a company? You followed me and said that you wanted to learn from me, but in the end, you wanted me to learn from you.”
Lin Fan sighed. If he were to negotiate personally, he definitely wouldn’t be able to reach such a price.
Other than Su Muqing, only the genius girl Su Xiaoyu could negotiate such a price.
Su Muqing giggled. “But I like to be by your side ~ The salary is not bad.”
Lin Fan was helpless. “Alright, stop. Your family owns a company worth hundreds of billions. It’s countless times bigger than Jiaxing Entertainment. Your family has so much money. Do you care about a job with an annual salary of tens of millions?”
Su Muqing nodded obediently. “Yes, yes. Of course, I care. When I was at home, they didn’t believe me. They gave all their work to my sister. Then, I lost my job.”
“That’s why I wanted to be your assistant ~ Even if I can’t earn much money, I can. But I didn’t expect my boss to be so handsome and nice. Other people earn a few thousand yuan a month as an assistant, but I earn 300,000 yuan a month. It can prove my value, so I’m very happy.”
When Su Muqing said this, her eyes were slightly red. It seemed like she had been bullied at home and came out to work with Lin Fan.
Lin Fan gently rubbed Su Muqing’s head and smiled. “It’s fine. Follow me and I’ll protect you. I’ll give you a raise this time. In the future, I’ll give you 500,000 a month.”
Su Muqing didn’t refuse and hurriedly bowed to thank him. “Thank you, Boss ~”
Seeing how innocent Su Muqing was, Lin Fan’s smile became even brighter.
Raising the salary for Su Muqing was a small matter. She went to negotiate and earned more than 400 million yuan for the company. Furthermore, Su Muqing could still be busy with Lin Fan’s other companies.
Now that Lin Fan had nurtured her to be a superstar, after she became popular, her value would increase countless times.
To put it simply, with such a beautiful assistant, she looked good and was innocent. She was capable and could warm the bed, although Lin Fan didn’t need her.
Receiving a beautiful assistant like Su Muqing, Lin Fan smiled and felt different.
No other value could compare to a girl like Su Muqing.
With Su Muqing around, Lin Fan would make a killing!
