They considered collaboration, but it depended on whether Jiang Yining was willing.
After all, Lu Corporation had its own film and television company.
Besides, there were still so many companies out there eyeing the opportunity covetously.
They came today with a trial attitude.
To see if they could negotiate this deal.
Fu Yiren and Bo Qin waited and waited…
After drinking four or five cups of tea, Jiang Yining still hadn’t come out.
They couldn’t help but feel anxious.
The two of them exchanged glances and shared their thoughts.
Fu Yiren politely asked the housekeeper, “Excuse me, how much longer until Miss Jiang comes down?”
“It should be soon.”
The housekeeper replied.
Fu Yiren was speechless.
She thought, “Forget it, for the sake of Grandpa Mao, let’s continue waiting.”
However, she could wait, but Bo Qin couldn’t.
He had an urgent need to pee.
Bo Qin endured for another five minutes. He wanted to ask the housekeeper if he could use the restroom.
But before he could say anything.
A crisp voice came from the stairs.
“I was too engrossed in drawing just now and forgot the time. I’m really sorry for making the two of you wait.” Jiang Yining walked down the stairs elegantly and smiled at the two of them.
Fu Yiren and Bo Qin looked at her in unison.
“It’s okay. We’re not in a hurry today. Miss Jiang, don’t worry.” Fu Yiren smiled and said, “Miss Jiang, we’re here today to…”
“Housekeeper, please serve tea to the two guests.”
Jiang Yining interrupted Fu Yiren.
Fu Yiren choked on her words. She also understood that Jiang Yining wasn’t an easy person to deal with. It seemed that this collaboration might not be easy to negotiate.
When Bo Qin heard that, his head tightened.
Drinking tea again?
He really couldn’t take it anymore.
However, for the sake of collaboration, Bo Qin dared not say anything on the surface and could only continue to endure.
The housekeeper brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for each of them.
Jiang Yining said,” This is the Longjing tea picked before Grain Rain that 1 just bought. It’s very fresh. Try it.”
She stared at the two of them gently, exerting invisible pressure on them.
Fu Yiren picked up her teacup and took a sip. “It’s indeed good tea.”
Bo Qin gritted his teeth and pursed his lips with a green face. He forced a smile.
Jiang Yining noticed his discomfort but pretended not to see it. “May I ask what positions do you two hold in Yonghui Film and Television Company?”
Fu Yiren heaved a sigh of relief when they finally got to the main topic. She introduced herself calmly. “I’m the CFO of Yonghui Film and Television Company. This is our young master.”
Jiang Yining nodded slightly. “For my little comic, it unexpectedly disturbed you both. I’m really ashamed.”
Little comic?
Your fans have exceeded 15 million in just one month!
This is called a little fanbase?
Fu Yiren felt awkward and she frowned. “Miss Jiang, you’re too humble. Your comic is very popular. We’re very optimistic about your work, so we want to talk to you…”
“You two, have some tea. Don’t just talk.”
Jiang Yining deliberately interrupted her again.
Fu Yiren choked again.
Bo Qin dared not drink tea anymore. He was about to explode from holding it in.
Under Jiang Yining’s gaze…
Bo Qin couldn’t endure it anymore. He stood up and said, “Miss Jiang, I’m really sorry. But I really need to use your restroom.”
When Jiang Yining heard this, she paused for two seconds and said with a smile, “Housekeeper, bring Mr. Bo over.”
“Yes.”
The housekeeper led Bo Qin away.
Fu Yiren reiterated, “Miss Jiang, we really think highly of your comic. That’s why we’d like to discuss a collaboration with you regarding the film and television rights.”
“Oh? I see…” Jiang Yining was nonchalant and didn’t seem to be interested in her words at all. “Actually, 1 just drew it for fun and never thought it could be made into a TV series. But since you’ve come, I’d like to hear about the terms your company is offering.”
“We’ll give you 200 million yuan for the copyright fee. After the production starts, you’ll receive a 10% share of all profit. In the future, if the response to the film and television series is good, we will further cooperate with you.” Fu Yiren said sincerely, “Miss Jiang, 1 know this bit of money might not mean much to you. But 1 can honestly say that this price is already very fair. In the entire film and television industry, there aren’t many companies that can offer such a price.”
Jiang Yining chuckled. “There aren’t many, but that doesn’t mean that only your company can afford such a price. Don’t you think so?”
Fu Yiren looked awkward.
Indeed, they were not the only ones.
Companies under the Lu Corporation could also offer this.
“Then what is the expected price in Miss Jiang’s heart? Please quote, and I will discuss it with the board when 1 go back.”
Fu Yiren said after a moment of silence.
“There’s no hurry. Let’s continue talking when Mr. Bo comes back.”
Jiang Yining said faintly as she held the cup of tea.
Hearing this, Fu Yiren could only wait.
Bo Qin went into the restroom, solved his physiological needs, and walked out in a good mood.
He realized that the housekeeper who had brought him here was nowhere to be found.
He looked around but didn’t see anyone. He was about to go back by himself.
However, he heard a low voice coming from the corner.
One of them even mentioned Yan Ruo’s name.
His ears twitched as he stealthily returned to the room and left the door ajar.
The voices of the two servants gradually approached.
“Hey, did you know? Our Young Mistress suddenly started drawing comics because she had a grudge against Yan Ruo.”
“Really? But 1 haven’t seen Young Mistress interact with Yan Ruo.”
“I heard that it’s a feud formed before she married into the Lu family. It’s normal that we don’t know. If the rumors aren’t true, why do you think our Young Mistress would bother to draw comics with her status?”
“You’re right. Young Mistress’s monthly pocket money was tens of millions. Drawing comics won’t earn her much.”
“The Yonghui Company that came today to collaborate with Young Mistress seems to have a collaboration with Yan Ruo too. I guess they came for nothing. Think about it, with the deep enmity between Yan Ruo and our Young Mistress, how could she agree to collaborate with them again? Wouldn’t that be like creating discomfort for herself?”
“Won’t it be fine if they don’t cooperate with Yan Ruo?”
“It’s not that easy. Yan Ruo had signed a contract with them. If they breach the contract, they would have to pay a penalty. Who knows if they’re willing to do it?”
“If they’re not willing, it’s fine. After all, our Young Mistress doesn’t have to collaborate with them eagerly.”
“Yes.”
“What are you two talking about? Hurry up and wash the clothes!” The housekeeper’s reprimanding voice sounded.
The two servants quickly shut their mouths and left in a hurry.
Bo Qin held his breath and waited until the two servants were far away.
He pushed open the door and walked out.
The housekeeper happened to be at the door and said with a smile, “Mr. Bo, please..”
