Chapter 803: Steal sales
Xiao Yunhai took out the bank gold card that Zhao Wanqing helped him handle from his pocket, threw it to his sister, and said, "The maximum overdraft in it is 100 million, and the password is the last six digits of my phone number. I tell you, you can't mess around. "
When Xiao Yunling heard this, he quickly put it away, and said with a grin, "Don't worry, I will buy some jewelry at most."
Xiao Yunhai snorted and said, "I advise you not to buy in Hainan. It is a tourist area and there are all kinds of people. If you are caught by someone while shopping, it will be a big trouble. Up."
Xiao Yunling bit his lip, thought for a moment, and said, "You are right. So I decided to let Zhang Yuan accompany me to visit the jewelry shops in Yanjing tomorrow morning. Brother, don't you feel bad."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "As you please, the money you spend will be deducted from Zhang Yuan anyway."
Xiao Yunling said in surprise: "He is just a pauper, where does the money come from?"
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "It won't be anymore soon. You have a good vision. Although this kid is a little dull in life, he is an out-and-out genius. His research on 3D technology has made breakthroughs. I will Will apply for a patent. It is estimated that within a year, he will become a billionaire."
"My God, Zhang Yuan will become a billionaire. This world is changing too fast," Xiao Yunling said with an incredible expression.
"Don't look down on Zhang Yuan. I bet he will become a great figure in the future. Okay, it's getting late, go and rest."
After Xiao Yunhai finished speaking, he returned to his room, leaving Xiao Yunling standing there stupidly.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yunhai went to the China Patent Office to register with the 3D technology related materials, and flew to the United States non-stop in the afternoon.
Handing things over to the World Patent Association, Xiao Yunhai came to his villa in Los Angeles, ready to deal with the issue of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".
Half a month ago, he received a call from a private investigator, saying that the four major publishers in Europe repeated their tricks again, and they were very courageous. He actually smashed Harry Potter's sales of tens of millions.
"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" officially went on sale on May 16. As of today, the world has sold 130 million copies. Among them, the United States sold 28 million copies, the Chinese version sold 29 million copies, the English version sold 6.5 million copies, and the other 66 million copies were all from Europe. Four major publishing houses.
According to the contract share, they can make at least 120 million U.S. dollars. Unexpectedly, they were still not satisfied, secretly copying 10 million copies, which is a profit of more than 100 million U.S. dollars, which is simply crazy.
After Xiao Yunhai learned of the news, although he was very angry, he did not have an attack right away, just let people secretly collect evidence.
One is that he is really busy and has no time to deal with it, and the other is that he wants to see how greedy the four major publishing houses can be.
After returning to the villa, Xiao Yunhai called the private detective who had been helping him and asked him to come to Los Angeles with evidence.
The next day, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man sat in front of Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai shook hands with him, smiled and said, "Mr. Stoke, hello. Although we often call on the phone, it is the first time we meet in reality."
Stocker smiled and said, "I feel very honored to see the famous Kung Fu Xiao."
The two were polite, and Xiao Yunhai said, "Mr. Stock, is it very dangerous to do this job?"
Stocker sighed and said: "Of course. Our private detectives usually do shameful things. Once caught by the other party, although they won't die, a severe beating is inevitable."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Can I look at things?"
"of course."
Stoke took out a large stack of photos and materials from his briefcase, pointed to the top one, and said, "This is a secret printing factory they opened in private. Each of the four major publishing houses has such a factory. , The books they print will not appear on the sales slip."
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "How did they cheat the data reported by the bookstore?"
Stocker said: "It's very simple. Don't you just underreport? Mr. Xiao, this is their unspoken rule. Publishing houses cooperate with bookstores, and the benefits obtained are divided between seven and seven. However, there are few such bookstores, otherwise, It's easy to leak out. Like them, they usually cooperate with Leis Bookstore and Fantasy Bookstore. Both of them are large chain bookstores covering Europe. They often do such things together. So, if you want to tell the four major publishing houses , They may also be involved."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "I understand. Mr. Stock, thank you. You are so amazing, not only can you photograph so many things, you also get the daily sales charts of Leisi Bookstore and Fantasy Bookstore. I admire the abilities of your detective agency."
Stocker smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry."
Xiao Yunhai took out the cheque he had already prepared from his pocket, and said, "This is the one million dollars you deserve."
Stoke was taken aback, and said, "Mr. Xiao, did you give too much? We agreed on six hundred thousand dollars."
Xiao Yunhai said: "The other four hundred thousand is my personal gratitude to Mr. Stoke. I am not a stingy person. You saved so much money for me. Of course I have to thank you very much."
With a happy smile on Stoke's face, he took the check and said sincerely: "Mr. Xiao, you are the most generous guest I have ever met. Thank you very much. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Xiao Yunhai said: "There will be."
Sending Stoke away, Xiao Yunhai carefully read the documents in his hand one by one, and then called Jesse.
"Xiao, did you come to Los Angeles?"
Xiao Yunhai was taken aback, and said, "How do you know?"
Jessie smiled and said, "Guess. Obviously, I guessed it right."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Jesse, it sounds like you are in a very good mood."
"Of course. "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" sold 28 million copies, can I be upset?"
"But I can't be happy. Jesse, I want to sue the four major European publishing houses."
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Jesse paused and said, "Xiao, where are you, can we meet?"
Xiao Yunhai said: "Of course. I'm in the villa. If you have time, come over. I need to discuss this matter with you."
Half an hour later ~lightnovelpub.net~ Jessie sat opposite Xiao Yunhai.
He took out a check from his bag and handed it to Xiao Yunhai, saying, "Xiao, the first batch of funds has arrived, and the total is 120 million US dollars."
Xiao Yunhai took it, took a look, and said with a smile: "It seems we really made a lot of money."
Jesse chuckled and said, "Of course. I calculated roughly, you can still get at least 140 million U.S. dollars in profit. This is only the United States. If you count other regions, God, I'm going crazy. "
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "Thanks to the promotion of the movie, otherwise I won't get such a good result. Jessie, I came to you to ask you to advise me. You first look at these materials. ."
