Chapter 275 I Can Fight Better Than Him

"I'm sorry, we have no intention of selling the translation rights for the time being. If Miss Wu is not satisfied with our cooperation agreement, we can discuss it another day."

Pei Wencong rejected Wu Jinyuan without any pressure.

He has been following Li Ye for a year and is no longer the small fry who had to polish his old leather shoes eight times before going out.

Wu Jinyuan was not frustrated, but asked: "Then can I ask for an additional condition?"

Pei Wencong said kindly: "Of course, Miss Wu, you can make any requests you have."

Wu Jinyuan took out a gold-stamped business card from her bag and said, "I can give up the share of the market sales after the translation, but I want to retain the film and television adaptation rights of A Song of Ice and Fire."

"So Miss Wu is from the Nanyang Wu Culture Group! We are in the same business now!"

After Pei Wencong looked at the business card, he realized that Wu Jinyuan was interested in the film and television adaptation of "A Song of Ice and Fire".

He was very surprised because Li Ye had never mentioned to him the prospects of film and television adaptation of "A Song of Ice and Fire".

This cannot be blamed on Li Ye. After all, this classic novel of the original time and space was published ten years later, and the film and television hit was more than twenty years later. At this time, even the first part has not been completed, and there is no ability to produce any peripheral derivative works!

However, Wu Jinyuan was very keen to discover the business opportunities therein. It must be said that she had a very unique vision.

"Mr. Pei has been very successful in the past two years. I have heard of your name in Lijiapo a long time ago. We have perfect film and television distribution capabilities, and we can cooperate with Mr. Pei's Talang Literature Publishing House.

For example, your works "The Wind Rises" and "Homesickness" can be adapted into animations, movies or TV series."

"Yes, yes, of course I know the capabilities of Wu's Cultural Group. I have a friend who works for your group, hehe."

"I also know something about Talang. Excuse me, Mr. Pei, if you want to maximize the benefits of this work, you need a strong partner. Our Wu Culture's strength and reputation in the industry are obvious to all. We have close ties with Dengta Film and Television Company and are capable of distributing this type of film."

Wu Jinyuan no longer concealed her intentions and discussed in-depth cooperation with Pei Wencong.

Her current aura is different from the gentle and low-key one when she just entered the door. She exudes the distinct aura of a strong business woman.

Li Ye is not very interested in this kind of business tug-of-war. He prefers a straightforward way of cooperation. Either both parties are willing, or they go their separate ways. Don't be pretentious or hypocritical.

The film and television adaptation and distribution rights of "A Song of Ice and Fire" will never be given to anyone else. The value of this world-class IP is not just the superficial profit.

The media is the mouthpiece.

Manufacturing is a strong foundation, while the media is a thug. The future profits of Talang Literary Publishing House may be far less than those of other aspects, but their importance is not inferior at all.

So Li Ye crossed his legs on the sofa, looking up into the sky with his mind wandering.

Pei Wencong saw the change in Li Ye and ended the conversation with Wu Jinyuan after chatting for two minutes.

Wu Jinyuan finally showed an expression of surprise.

She had carefully researched the background of Talang Literary Publishing House before coming here. Her offer of 200,000 just now was a precise test.

If it was a year ago, Wu Jinyuan's $200,000 might have really stunned Pei Wencong.

At that time, Pei Wencong didn't even have $30,000 in his family assets.

Just a few months ago, $200,000 was a temptation that Pei Wencong could not resist.

The sales of "The North Wind" and "Homeland" were good, but the accumulated profits were only a few million Hong Kong dollars. Two hundred thousand US dollars is equivalent to two million Hong Kong dollars, so it should have been a hit in one go.

But Pei Wencong's performance repeatedly made her miscalculate. Why?

Wu Jinyuan slowly turned her head and imprinted Li Ye's shadow deeply in her mind.

After sending Wu Jinyuan out of Talang Publishing House, Pei Wencong found Li Ye.

"That woman is not simple. She actually has her eyes on our entire Talang."

"Really? I thought she was just interested in the film and television adaptation!"

"Hey~" Pei Wencong smiled and said, "Wu's Cultural Communication Group is one of the top three cultural groups in Nanyang. How could a deputy general manager come to Hong Kong Island just for the film and television adaptation rights of a novel?

Working with them is like dancing with a shark. If you are not careful, you will be swallowed whole with skin and bones."

Li Ye smiled and said, "Don't be so modest. You will be a big fish soon. Besides, he is the translator and he is here to receive the award!"

"Huh, who knows if she is the real author?"

“.”

. . . . . . . .

Pei Wencong felt that Li Ye’s prediction was really coming true.

The exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar has fallen below the 9.0 mark at an alarming speed, and there is a trend of accelerating decline.

"Mr. Li, in three days, A-Po has helped us earn three to four million dollars. Now I feel that it's meaningless to run a literary club. I worked hard for half a year but didn't make as much as he did in three days."

"Luo Runbo bought the dip? Oh, that's right, everyone is buying the dip now."

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then felt relieved.

The contract that Luo Runbo signed with him was to trade on his behalf. Since he said he would buy after the price fell below 9.5, it is not surprising that he is buying now.

However, he only made three or four million after the stock price dropped by more than 30 cents. Obviously, the leverage used was not high and he was very cautious.

In fact, this is the normal operation of a trader, with appropriate positions, appropriate leverage, and timely risk avoidance.

His precise trading plan is really a game of gamble with your life, where “the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish”.

Pei Wencong observed Li Ye's expression and asked, "Mr. Li, A-Po wants to invite you to dinner. What time do you think is suitable?"

Li Ye said: "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's do it today!"

"Okay, I'll contact Apo right away."

Pei Wencong called Luo Runbo, but the other party said that he was at home with his wife today. Pei Wencong was so angry that he scolded him, blaming him for failing to deliver at the critical moment.

"Mr. Li, A-po is seven months pregnant and has not been feeling well recently."

"Then let's do it tomorrow! I'm leaving in the next two days, so I may not have time later."

Pei Wencong hurriedly made another phone call, complaining in his heart why Luo Runbo was so fussy. Is it more important to accompany his wife than Li Ye?

But before Pei Wencong picked up the phone, it rang.

When the call was connected, I heard my sister Pei Wenhui speaking in rapid Cantonese, and I could clearly hear that she was crying.

"Xiao Hui, don't be anxious. First tell me where you are now? Yuen Long Police Station? Okay, okay, I'll be there right away."

After Pei Wencong put down the phone, he called Luo Runbo again: "Lao Luo, don't accompany your wife! Go to Yuen Long Police Station immediately. What are you talking about? My sister is in trouble."

Li Ye looked at Pei Wencong who was getting anxious, and silently put on his clothes and changed his shoes.

Li Dayong and Pei Wenhui are together, and someone might have happened.

Sure enough, after Pei Wencong finished the call, he said to Li Ye awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, there is a problem now, but I will definitely be able to handle it."

Li Ye said nothing, but just sat in the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz.

Pei Wencong called Aqiang and drove all the way to the New Territories. When they arrived at the Yuen Long Police Station, they found a group of people making a fuss inside, and Pei Wenhui was hiding in a room crying, but she didn't seem to be injured.

Pei Wencong first communicated with the police officer before asking his sister: "Xiaohui, what happened?"

Pei Wenhui sobbed and said, "I was coming back from the factory and met several cars on the road. I was not good at driving and was pushed into the ditch. Mr. Li was very angry."

It took Li Ye and Pei Wencong a long time to understand.

It turned out that Pei Wenhui and Li Dayong encountered a few drag racers on their way home. Because Pei Wenhui's BMW was a sports car, she was dragged a little. Unexpectedly, Pei Wenhui, who had just obtained her driver's license not long ago, was pushed into a roadside gutter.

Then Li Dayong got angry, and then, nothing happened.

Pei Wencong asked incredulously: "You said that Mr. Li beat seven people into the hospital?"

Pei Wenhui nodded repeatedly and said, "They were the first to start the fight. They even used a baseball bat. It's not Mr. Li's fault!"

Pei Wencong looked at Li Ye, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Mr. Li, is that Mr. Li really a student?"

Li Ye glanced at him and said coldly: "Don't you believe it? I can actually fight better than him. Do you think I am a student?"

“.”

My condition today is really bad, I will make up for it by updating three times tomorrow, definitely. Sorry!
