Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Wang Xiaoyuan’s Shock, That Man is Actually You?
Of course, An Nuonuo naturally wouldn’t agree and gently pinched Jiang Xu’s arm.
Jiang Xu pretended to be in pain, “Look at that, you’re bullying me already.
Can you imagine what will happen when we’re in university together?”
The young girl, knowing she couldn’t win against Jiang Xu, blushed slightly and bowed her head to eat her meal.
Jiang Xu gave a hehe chuckle.
After quickly finishing their meal, he suggested that An Nuonuo rest awhile and took a taxi to the place he had arranged to meet Wang Xiaoyuan.
In a private room.
He knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Jiang Xu pushed open the door and saw Wang Xiaoyuan, in her sleek black uniform, sitting there.
He was somewhat taken aback.
This time, she had come in person?
Two men and a woman also sat beside her, probably staff or lawyers she had brought along.
“Hey, Jiang Xu, what are you doing here?” Wang Xiaoyuan was surprised to see him.
She immediately stood up, smiled, and said, “Took a wrong turn, did you? Goodness, you’re getting more handsome.”
She approached Jiang Xu, carrying with her a light fragrance.
“I have some business to discuss. After we’re done, let’s have dinner together.”
Wang Xiaoyuan seemed to like this younger brother a lot.
“Is there a possibility…” Jiang Xu touched his nose, “That I’m the person you’ve been expecting to meet?”
Wang Xiaoyuan gave Jiang Xu a stern look, “How is that possible? The person I’m supposed to meet is a grumpy old man.”
Jiang Xu: “…”
Nice, very nice.
So, in Wang Xiaoyuan eyes, he had always been a grumpy old man.
He spread his hands, “No more disguising, let’s get it over with. I am the ‘An Ping’ you’ve been looking for.”
“What?!?” Wang Xiaoyuan’s tone suddenly elevated.
Seeing that she still didn’t quite believe him.
Jiang Xu unlocked his mobile phone and showed her their chat history.
Now, finally, Wang Xiaoyuan believed him.
She couldn’t help but punch Jiang Xu, “You’re too much! How could you hide such a big thing from me.”
At the same time, she was also extremely startled.
This young man was even better than she had imagined!
Compared with her own brother, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
One and a famous author at a very young age.
The other one, a bit of hardship and he only knows how to whine.
No comparison, absolutely no comparison.
It only took her a few seconds to accept the truth.
Then, Wang Xiaoyuan enthusiastically pulled Jiang Xu to his seat.
She introduced the other two people to him.
Just as he had guessed, one was a lawyer and the other was a company executive.
The two understood the boss’s relationship with Jiang Xu and didn’t dare to act rashly.
Once seated on either side, Jiang Xu began talking business, “This novel is my latest work.
Not to boast, but it’s absolutely top-notch…”
With a poker face, Jiang Xu began to heap praises on his work.
Praise that was high as heaven and as deep as the sea.
Selling things, after all.
Naturally, he wanted the buyers to think that his stuff was very ace.
Only then will they be willing to pay a high price for it.
No matter how much they believe, he would say it first.
Wang Xiaoyuan was stupefied by his pitch.
Mainly because the previous book indeed achieved remarkable results.
So, Wang Xiaoyuan naturally believed Jiang Xu’s words.
Jiang Xu took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
Then he took out the printed novel.
He handed it over to Wang Xiaoyuan, “Sister Xiaoyuan, read the beginning first.”
“Overbearing CEO, Gentle Love…” Wang Xiaoyuan murmured, then started reading quietly.
There was silence at the dining table, with no one talking.
What Wang Xiaoyuan got was the first ten chapters of the novel.
After she finished reading, she nodded, “Hmm, the topic is very novel. If it is filmed, there will be an audience.
So, let’s talk about the price, how much do you plan to sell it for, and how would you like to collaborate?”
Jiang Xu: “There are two cooperation plans, one is to buy it outright for three million.
The other one, the TV and film copyright for my novel at five hundred thousand, with ten percent royalty.”
Wang Xiaoyuan looked at Jiang Xu in shock, “Are you crazy? You’re asking for too much.”
She could have accepted the price of five hundred thousand for the copyright.
But she couldn’t deal with the additional ten percent royalty.
Jiang Xu laughingly said, “Sister Xiaoyuan, you’ve probably had a comfortable life since childhood, and never had to worry about money, right?”
“Yes.” Wang Xiaoyuan nodded, not understanding what Jiang Xu meant by saying this.
Jiang Xu continued: “In that case, you won’t be able to immerse yourself into this novel.
Because this novel is for average girls who like to dream and fantasize.
Most of them are fantasizing about meeting a handsome and wealthy man one day.
And he is also crazy about her, don’t believe me? Let the lady next to you have a look.”
The female executive that Wang Xiaoyuan brought with her was quite classy.
However, Jiang Xu could tell from her demeanor and clothing that she too was from an average family.
Wang Xiaoyuan naturally couldn’t understand Jiang Xu’s words.
But she did show the executive the beginning of the novel.
A few minutes later, the executive had finished reading.
She was shocked inside.
But she showed no signs on the outside.
Instead, she whispered into Wang Xiaoyuan’s ear, “Boss Wang, this novel is amazing.
It perfectly captures the psychology of common girls fantasizing of being with a prince charming.
You might not feel much after reading it.
But for most ordinary girls.
This novel, they can fully immerse themselves into it.
Boss Wang, grab it, you must grab it!”
Wang Xiaoyuan was taken aback.
This executive was usually reserved and did everything meticulously.
Today, she was slightly off balance.
She gave her a look.
The female executive quickly composed herself.
She faced Jiang Xu sternly, “Mr. Jiang, your work, there are actually some flaws…”
Jiang Xu’s smile didn’t fade.
He started bargaining with her slowly.
In the first half, he gave them the impression that he was firm in his stance.
That was his offer, and no changes would be made.
In the second half, Jiang Xu relaxed his tone, and slightly reduced his terms.
So as to give the other side a sense of gaining something.
Jiang Xu had experienced many similar scenes in his previous life.
He was thus very skilled in handling this situation.
In the end, the terms were fixed.
Wang Xiaoyuan chose the second cooperation option.
The TV and film rights were worth four hundred and fifty thousand.
Plus an eight percent royalty.
Jiang Xu cheerfully took out the contract from his backpack, “I have prepared it, you can sign it directly if there are no problems.”
Wang Xiaoyuan looked at the contract, and couldn’t help but take another look at Jiang Xu.
The contract accurately reflected their previous discussion!
It suggested that everything was under Jiang Xu’s control.
Wang Xiaoyuan suddenly felt as if she was dealing with an elder.
This youngster was truly terrifying.
She had the contract looked at by her lawyer.
After confirming there were no issues, Wang Xiaoyuan signed it.
After signing, Jiang Xu said, “Sister Xiaoyuan, I have another small request…”
