Return To 1977 Chapter 1037: Maverick

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

As soon as this number was exported, the atmosphere at the scene immediately changed.

Hong Yanwu frowned, as if in disbelief and protest, and coughed loudly.

Zhao Yanping's eyes were even more shocked, as if he didn't know Zheng Yuanjie.

So when he saw their reactions like this, even Zheng Yuanjie himself felt "thumped" in his heart.

I feel like I'm a bit exaggerated.

That's exactly what happened.

Because even though the country began to reform the price system after 1978, money has continued to become grosser.

Especially in 1984, in order to develop the economy, the country quickly turned on the money printing press.

As a result, prices have skyrocketed in the past two years.

However, according to official data, the purchasing power of ten yuan has depreciated by 30% overall.

Roughly equivalent to seven yuan in 1978.

Even considering that everyone’s average salary income has increased by 50%.

The official exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar has changed from 1.684 in 1978 to 2.937 due to these comprehensive factors.

This one million is equivalent to the three or four hundred thousand in the past.

Think about it, three or four hundred thousand in 1978!

At that time, Hong Yanwu was treating his father. How desperate was he to get four to five thousand yuan?

He and Quanzi were so cold in "Bincheng" that they worked deep into the seabed for a year and fried a handful of sea cucumbers, only to bring back this amount.

And he just bought out the movie images of Chen and his son last year, and he only spent 20,000 yuan.

In this comparison, what’s the difference between the inside and the outside?

So to be honest, anyone who hears this at first glance will think that Zheng Yuanjie is crazy about money and has no sincerity.

If this matter were to be expressed in this boy’s most iconic narrative style, it would be:

How dare you ask for this price? Do you know how much you weigh? Did you forget to take your medicine?

Do you know that this money can buy five Crown cars, fifteen houses, fifty computers, five hundred TVs, five thousand bicycles, and five thousand electronic watches?

This shows how stiff and awkward the atmosphere at the scene must be.

But having said that, Zheng Yuanjie is a very independent person and is unwilling to follow the crowd.

This kind of character was developed from his life experience of being discriminated against.

Growing up, he has almost always been considered the least promising person by his surroundings.

In school, I was bullied by the teacher, and in the army, I was bullied by the leader.

When I went to visit my first girlfriend, my girlfriend’s family told me that she would never succeed in life, and the marriage ended.

Even when he later became an editor, he was looked down upon by his colleagues because of his academic qualifications.

Not to mention running publications.

To put it bluntly, the growth experiences of Zheng Yuanjie and Hong Yanwu are similar in that they grew up under pressure.

Have you never heard of something unpleasant? What kind of ugly face have you never seen? I've received a lot of looks.

The inner qualities have been developed long ago.

In terms of thickness of face, he is on par with Hong Yanwu.

So what does this mean?

The more this happened, the more Zheng Yuanjie became more competitive and wanted to stick to her own decisions and practices.

It’s not a big deal even if you scare the other person away in the end.

He believes that the most important thing for a writer is to have good works.

Who can say that his value is definitely not worth one million?

As long as he has good works, he can earn this money on his own in maybe seven or eight years.

If I scare this one away this time, others will definitely come to my door in the future.

So he smiled calmly and gave Hong Yanwu his own reason.

"I know this number is shocking, but I have to make it clear that I am not just talking nonsense."

"Why does a well-known company like yours come to us for advertising? It only shows that your company has a unique vision, recognizes my ability, and recognizes the potential of our publication. I feel that in our publication Advertising can help increase product sales. ”

"I have to say that your factory has really good vision. Although we are a start-up, my "Pipilu and Lu Xixi" has been serialized in sixteen publications at the same time, and has long been popular among children's readers. Recognized. With reader base."

"Therefore, we printed 70,000 in the first issue and sold them all, and we will print 200,000 in the second issue soon. We are also very confident that we will reach 500,000 per issue by the end of the year. And we The highest record of similar publications here can reach several million. What does this mean? It shows that we still have great potential in the future."

"Why does your factory want to buy the exclusive commercial development rights of these two characters of mine? Of course, you think this will attract children to buy your products."

"Your factory is wiser in this regard, because my Pipilu and Lu Xixi are the two most popular characters among children in my works. Not only do they have many stories, but they are also very flexible in the use of trademarks."

"I mean, Pipilu and Lu Xixi can be combined together, or they can be separated into independent trademarks. Just like my fairy tale book, it is divided into 'Fairy Tales for Boys' and 'Fairy Tales for Boys'. A girl's fairy tale'.

"Think about it, this means that you have three trademarks at once. And it is an exclusive buyout. From now on, except for your factory, no one can use Pipilu and Lu Xixi as trademarks to sell products, even me No. And your factory will always benefit.”

"To tell you the truth, my personal contribution fee for this issue is almost 5,000, and I can finish it for the next issue. But it only relies on a few cents from each magazine. You said that if your factory is casual Developing some products, whether it’s food, stationery, or clothing, wouldn’t you earn more than me? Think about it this way, is this one million more?”

Don’t say it, although these words are a bit hoarding, they do make some sense.

At the same time, Zheng Yuanjie also showed a serious attitude towards discussion.

So Hong Yanwu quickly spoke.

"You are truly the most unique writer I have ever seen. You have a unique perspective on problems and a good business acumen. But when it comes to business, you ask for a high price and then you pay back the money. If you can make a bid, I can also make a counter-offer. Right? I’ll tell you the truth. One million is too high, and the polar bears won’t accept it.”

And when this happened, Zhao Yanping also hurriedly helped to smooth things over.

"Yes, yes, as for the price, you have to be willing to do it. Of course we can talk about it, we can talk about it. Isn't it Lao Zheng?"

In this way, Zheng Yuanjie decided to quit.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to lower the price, Hong Yanwu's words made him furious.

"In fact, we just bought the movie images of two well-known actors last year, and the price was much lower than your asking price..."

Such a comparison is as heartbreaking as when an editor once said, "There are actually people with primary school diplomas in our team."

It immediately reminded Zheng Yuanjie of many unpleasant experiences in the past.

Of course he was not happy, so he blurted out his retort.

"Don't talk to me about fame. 'Polar Bear' is famous, much more famous than us, so why do you still want to come to us? Why do you need the commercial rights to my characters? Just ' Isn’t the polar bear’ brand enough? ”

"Let me tell you, fame can only represent the past. Yes, I am not famous enough today, but it does not mean that I will be so in the future. I can tell you now that this million is actually the price of my lack of fame. When I become famous, my asking price will also be more than this amount."

"As for you saying that your factory will never accept this price. You won't lie to me, will you? How big is your factory? The most famous cold drink brand in Beijing, what does this mean to you? 'Polar Bear' Can you still take this seriously? No one would believe it."

Just like that, the sarcastic remarks turned the situation into a deadlock again.

And this time Zheng Yuanjie was really a bit angry.

Zhao Yanping was dumbfounded. He couldn't figure out why Zheng Yuanjie was like this. That was quite incomprehensible.

But fortunately Hong Yanwu understood, because he and Zheng Yuanjie were both the same type of people.

They are all people who have suffered setbacks, exclusion, and cold treatment, but always want to prove themselves and live a wonderful life.

So people like them who have experienced similar things have many things in common, especially emotions.

When Hong Yanwu was reading newspapers in his previous life, he found Zheng Yuanjie’s speech particularly inspiring.

Now it is easy to understand Zheng Yuanjie's excitement.

He immediately realized that his words might have hurt someone.

The explanation was quickly given.

"No, no, no, no, teacher Zheng, I'm afraid you misunderstood. I don't mean to compare others with you. I just want to explain that the factory may make such a simple comparison, and they will use their inherent thinking to measure it. Naturally, they will not Accept this price."

"I personally agree with what you said. I think you are right. Your Pipilu and Luxixi are of great value. Especially for children's consumer groups, they can not only make accurate classifications, but also It’s particularly rare to cover this whole thing.”

"So what I mean is that if you insist on a price of one million, it is not impossible. But you cannot use polar bears to sign the contract. I will sign with you in the name of a Hong Kong-owned company, and We need to discuss the detailed rules and preferential conditions..."

Good guys, don’t talk about Zhao Yanping now.

Even Zheng Yuanjie’s own mouth opened wide.

No... you're not joking, right?

One...one million!

That's it...that's it?
