Chapter 579: Of course
An Zhixia was still whispering to Fang Yuan in Xia Chinese: "Fortunately they didn't agree. Even if each of the fifty artists contributed five announcements, how much profit could they generate for me?
The artist didn't have any works to show for himself, and his status wasn't high enough, so a single announcement would cost at most a few hundred thousand. So, if you calculate it this way, I would have lost more than 500 million!"
Xiahua is now striving to develop in all aspects, and its international influence is increasing. Although global citizens' impression of Xiahua still remains the same as it was decades ago, they have gradually accepted Xiahua.
Among the persons in charge of the "Star Project" was Xia Huatong. He clearly grasped An Zhixia's meaning, pondered it carefully, and then whispered it to his companions beside him.
"Mrs. Fang is right. The fees these artists who have become internationally famous through our program will not be too high.
We can't be too blindly optimistic, just like we have been running around to solicit sponsorship these days. We know that this column will eventually be profitable, but we still can't show good results to prove it.
The sponsors are taking a wait-and-see attitude and not taking any action, which is far from what we originally envisioned.
Who among us can guarantee that the announcement fees of these artists will meet our expectations?"
Everyone was thinking. They had been so excited to start the program at the beginning. Perhaps because they had too high expectations for the program, they encountered many setbacks along the way. They had come to this point with so much difficulty. All they lacked was a strong financial support.
The companies behind them are giants in the entertainment industry of various countries, but which company has fewer projects in preparation? They all have a lot of bank loans.
Otherwise they wouldn't unite and take risks together.
"But if we give up five notices for each of the top fifty artists and then share the profits equally, how much will each company have left?"
"The first time the column was launched, there was too much resistance. We should abandon the original intention of making a fortune and focus on running it. Only when the column is successfully launched and everyone can see the huge profits it contains, can we completely get rid of the constraints of others and run the column we like and make money!"
Everyone nodded. If they missed An Zhixia, it would be difficult for them to find another sucker willing to invest 800 million yuan.
It would be better to use An Zhixia as a springboard to promote the name of "Star Project" and then discuss the next step. Moreover, each of them can share a lot of the 800 million M gold, which may be more profitable than the profit brought by the column!
They looked at each other and reached a preliminary consensus.
"Ahem," the older man coughed and said to An Zhixia, "Madam Fang, there is a saying in Xiahua that a gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Although you are a woman, you are a businessman first, so don't you also have to be honest?"
An Zhixia looked at Fang Yuan and nodded reluctantly, "Of course."
Her hands were still subconsciously tightly holding the bag.
"Mrs. Fang, several of us have discussed this. Although the conditions you just proposed are harsh, we also uphold the mentality of accommodating citizens of all countries in the world and include Xia Huaguo in the program group to promote international harmony.
So we'll take a loss and agree to your terms, but let's make it clear in advance that this is just the once and for all!"
An Zhixia was stunned for a moment, then she tightly grasped her bag, her face wrinkled, "Do you really agree?"
"Yes, so Madam Fang, when do you think it would be appropriate for us to sign the contract?"
"I think it's a good time to draft it now. We are surrounded by celebrities from various countries and they can act as intermediaries. No one can renege on their obligations," another person in charge couldn't help but interrupt.
"Even though the 800 million yuan is a check, no one can guarantee that it will still be there or that it is intact and spotless once it leaves this manor. Madam Fang, if you give us the check, we can find the manor owner and ask him to help remit the money to Xizhou, leaving no chance for the bad guys to take advantage of it."
But in just a moment, the responsible persons talked at once, and listed almost all the reasons they could think of for signing the contract immediately.
An Zhixia pretended that she couldn't stand their enthusiasm and nodded slightly.
Everyone immediately looked for paper and someone to find a middleman, and soon everything was ready.
The contract did not contain much content, but it covered the rights and obligations of both parties clearly and in detail. An Zhixia and Fang Yuan looked at it carefully.
"Sir, I invested 800 million M gold. In addition to the three requirements I just mentioned, shouldn't I also enjoy a certain proportion of advertising broadcasts like other investors?"
The program directors looked at each other. They reluctantly approved all three of her requests. Why did they add to the agreement after it was already written?
This is clearly asking for more!
They were about to argue with her, but they saw that she was eager to try and hoped that they would disagree.
Everyone immediately became timid. What else could they do?
Anyway, they didn't expect any profit from the first "Star Plan", so they gave up struggling and resigned themselves to adding this item.
"Mrs. Fang, do you have anything else to add? If not, I'll rewrite it and we can formally sign the contract?"
An Zhixia discussed with Fang Yuan in a low voice and said, "I invested 800 million dollars because I hope that our international team can be a big family and a whole. Xiahua should not be separated out.
All in all, the conditions I just mentioned can at most help me recover 300 million M yuan.
Adhering to the concept of not suffering losses, there are still 500 million M yuan that have not yet reflected their due value to me.
Therefore, I hope that as long as the "Star Plan" program is running, Xiahua people will never be turned away, and Xiahua artists will be fully respected and not forced or tempted to do things that violate moral ethics.
Furthermore, I hope that Xiahua manufacturers can use this column as a platform to show their strength to the world citizens and do some publicity. The column promises that in the next 20 years, the advertising fees charged to Xiahua manufacturers will only change with the appreciation and depreciation of the currency.
These conditions are not too harsh, right? "
The big guy went over her words in his heart, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
These conditions were just right, at a level that they wanted to refuse but couldn't.
They discussed some details, established a formal contract, and signed the contract with several tycoons as witnesses.
An Zhixia carefully reviewed the contract again, then took out a check from her bag and handed it over, then carefully put away the contract.
Everyone gathered around the 800 million gold check, and they were very curious. "So many zeros, I'm dizzy..."
After a brief look, the older person in charge quickly found the owner of the manor and explained his purpose.
Because horse racing is often held on the estate, the prize money in the jackpot often accumulates to a number that can drive people crazy.
