Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 275: negotiate

After enjoying lunch, Kevin took everyone back to the company. After Jimmy heard Louis say that this is a cultural company that Kevin started recently, he admired the young writer even more.

After everyone sat down, Kevin asked someone to make a pot of tea again. After all, they have just finished enjoying Italian Western food, and they also need a cup of sweet tea to cleanse their stomachs.

"Mr. Kevin, you wrote "The Collection of All Beings" is very good, I have never seen such an excellent collection of poems. So, if I want to publish it in the United States, it is definitely a wonderful thing."

After drinking the tea, Jimmy immediately expressed his importance to "The Collection of All Living Beings".

"Dear Mr. Jimmy, it is an honor for you to like "The Collection of All Beings". I am very happy."

"No, no, Kevin, you are too modest. This is a near-perfect collection of poems. It is my luck to see such a work in my lifetime. So I came here with sincerity this time, and I want to put it If it is published in the American market, it will definitely cause a wave of poetry." Jimmy said excitedly.

When Jimmy came over, he also investigated the book market of "The Collection of All Beings" in the UK, and he also heard that the book of poems had also been published in Sweden. And achieved very good results. Therefore, he also made up his mind. No matter what the conditions, he will try his best to publish this excellent collection of poems in the American market.

"Mr. Kevin, Mr. Geraf, the purpose of our coming here is obvious. It is to buy the American copyright of "The Collection of All Beings". So, I think we can discuss this a lot." One of Jimmy's The female assistant said at this time.

"Of course, we have also seen your sincerity. I don't know how you want to buy the American copyright of "The Collection of All Living Beings"?" Jeraf said.

The person in charge of the main talks is still Geraf, after all, he is the president of the Royal Poetry Publishing House. Kevin's purpose today is just to come over to understand the entire contract conditions, and he doesn't have much negotiation power. After all, "The Collection of All Beings" had already signed the copyright of all the texts to the other party.

Of course, in accordance with this parallel world's respect for original authors. Therefore, in the end, Kevin must sign and agree to it. Therefore, this is one of the reasons why the Royal Poetry Publishing House invites him to participate.

Jimmy had already figured out the terms of his negotiation before he came over, so after Jeraf said this, he said straightforwardly: "Dear Mr. Jeraf. I think we are willing to spend 1.5 million pounds to put "The Collection of All Beings". The copyright of the American text is bought out at one time. I don’t know what you want?"

"£1.5 million? NONONO, Mr. Jimmy, I think we really can’t accept this number. As you said, this is a very good work, and every poem in it is almost perfect. For this one Excellent work. We have to match it with a price worthy of it. Isn't it?" Jeraf said immediately.

When the Swedish Translation Publishing House came to London to talk, Geraf asked for 2 million pounds as soon as he opened his mouth. Now it's the turn of the American publishing house, and he naturally refuses to go below such a price. Besides, relative to the book market, the reading market in the United States is even larger than that in Sweden. If "The Collection of All Beings" were bought out for them for 1.5 million pounds, it would be a huge profit.

After so many years in the mall, Jeraf refused to suffer such a loss. Therefore, he must be higher than the price given by the Swedish Translation Publishing House for The Collection of All Beings.

Jimmy didn't know how much money the Swedish Translation Publishing House spent to buy the Swedish text copyright of "The Collection of All Beings". He thought that the 1.5 million pounds he had offered was a psychological price acceptable to both parties. But when he heard that Geralf said "no" without even thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Jimmy thought for a moment, and then said again: "President Geralf, what about the 1.8 million pounds? The 1.8 million pounds gives us all the American text copyright of The Collection of All Beings."

"NO, NO, NO, we still cannot accept this price. Even if we can accept it, perhaps God will not forgive us. Because "The Collection of All Beings" is so excellent." Geraf continued to refuse.

"Then what kind of price do you need to sell us the copyright of the American text of "The Collection of All Beings"? Everyone comes with a sincere heart. So please Mr. Geraf to say it clearly." Jimmy asked. .

"2.2 million pounds. This is the lowest psychological price we can accept. Dear Mr. Jimmy, it is because of your sincerity that we decided to adjust the price to the most acceptable lower limit in our hearts." Jeraf said directly.

"Ah! 2.2 million pounds? This figure doesn't necessarily exist even for famous artists, right?"

After hearing the big mouth of Geralf "Lion", Jimmy's two female assistants couldn't help talking in surprise. But the final decision is in Jimmy's hands, and they just reminded their superiors. As for the final decision, it depends on Jimmy.

Jimmy has been in publishing for most of his life, and he has also been responsible for the publication of many foreign books. As his two assistants said, £2.2 million is indeed the ceiling price for a book of poems. After all, the marketability of poetry anthologies is not as extensive as that of novels.

First of all, a collection of poems no matter which country or world it is in. If its book market is unpopular, it would be more difficult to make money~www.NovelMTL.com~ So, after Jimmy heard the reminders from the two female assistants, he didn't have to think about it for a moment before he dared to make a decision.

Perhaps it is a natural love and obsession with poetry. What's more, "The Collection of All Beings" is still such an excellent collection of poems. When Jimmy was thinking, there seemed to be a voice in his heart that kept telling him: buy it. This is a great collection of poems.

Americans often like to do things according to the voice in their hearts, and Jimmy is no exception. Therefore, he intends to follow the voice in his heart and spend 2.2 million pounds to buy the American text copyright of "The Collection of All Beings".

So Jimmy thought about it. He said: "Okay. Dear Mr. Geravxian, we are willing to spend £2.2 million for this excellent collection of poems."

"Ah! Editor-in-Chief Jimmy, do you really want to spend 2.2 million pounds to buy the copyright to a collection of poetry?"

"Yes! Editor-in-Chief Jimmy, we can go back and think about it before making a decision."

After hearing Jimmy say to buy, his two assistants immediately reminded again. (To be continued.)
