Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

After enjoying lunch, Kevin brought everyone back to the company. After Jimmy heard Louis say that this is a cultural company opened by Kevin recently, he felt even more admiration for this young writer in his heart.

After everyone sat down, Kevin asked someone to make another pot of tea. After all, they just finished enjoying Italian and Western food, and they also need a cup of sweet tea to cleanse their stomachs.

"Mr. Kevin, your "Anthology of All Beings" is very good. I have never seen such an excellent collection of poems. So, I think it will be a wonderful thing if it is released in the United States."

After drinking tea, Jimmy immediately expressed his importance to "The Collection of All Beings".

"Dear Mr. Jimmy, it's an honor that "The Collection of All Beings" can be liked by you. I'm very happy."

"No no, Kevin, you are too humble. This is a collection of poems that is close to perfection. It is my luck to see such a work in my lifetime. So this time I come here with sincerity, and I want to put it If it is published in the American market, it will definitely cause a wave of poetry." Jimmy said excitedly.

When Jimmy came here, he also investigated the book market of "The Collection of All Beings" in the UK, and he also heard that Sweden had also published this collection of poems. And achieved very good results. Therefore, he also made up his mind. No matter what the conditions are, he will try his best to publish this excellent poetry collection in the American market.

"Mr. Kevin, Mr. Geralf, the purpose of our coming here is obvious. It is to buy the American copyright of "The Collection of All Beings". So, I think we can have more discussions on this aspect." One of Jimmy The female assistant said at this time.

"Of course, we have also seen your sincerity. I wonder how you want to buy the American copyright of "The Collection of All Beings"?" Geralf said.

The person in charge of the main negotiations is Geralf, after all, he is the president of the Royal Poetry Publishing House. Kevin's purpose today is just to come over to understand the entire contract conditions, and he doesn't have much negotiating authority. After all, "The Collection of All Beings" had already signed all the text copyrights to the other party.

Of course, according to the respect of original authors in this parallel world. Therefore, in the end, Kevin must sign and agree. Therefore, this is one of the reasons why the Royal Poetry Press invites him to participate every time.

Before Jimmy came over, he had already thought about the terms of his negotiation, so after Geralf said this, he said straight to the point: "Dear Mr. Geralf, I think we are willing to spend 1.5 million pounds to make "The Collection of All Beings" One-time buyout of the copyright of the American text. I don’t know what you want?”

"£1.5 million? NO NO NO Mr Jimmy,

I think this number is really unacceptable to us. As you said, this is a very good work, and every poem in it is almost perfect. For such an excellent work. We have to match it with a price worthy of it. isn't it? "Jeraph said immediately.

When the Swedish Translation Publishing House came to London for talks, Geraf asked for 2 million pounds. Now it was the turn of the American Publishing House, and he naturally refused to lower such a price. Besides, relative to the book market, the US book market is even bigger than Sweden's. If "The Collection of All Beings" was really bought out for 1.5 million pounds, it would be a huge profit.

Geraph has been rolling in the mall for so many years, so he is unwilling to suffer such a loss. Therefore, he must be higher than the price given by the Swedish Translation Publishing House to "The Collection of All Beings".

Jimmy didn't know how much the Swedish Translation Publishing House paid for the Swedish text copyright of "The Collection of All Beings". He thought that the 1.5 million pounds he offered was already a psychological price acceptable to both parties. But he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard Geralf say "no" without even thinking about it.

Jimmy thought for a moment, and then said again: "President Gerald, what about the 1.8 million pounds? The 1.8 million pounds gives us all the American text copyright of "The Collection of All Beings."

"NO, NO, NO, we still can't accept this price. Even if we can accept it, maybe God will not forgive us. Because "The Collection of All Beings" is so good." Geraph continued to refuse.

"Then what kind of price do you need to sell us the American text copyright of "The Collection of All Beings"? Everyone came here with a sincere heart. So please ask Mr. Geralph to explain it clearly." Jimmy asked. .

"2.2 million pounds. This is the lowest psychological price we can accept. Dear Mr. Jimmy, it is because of your sincerity that we have decided to adjust the price to the lower limit that is most acceptable in our hearts." Geraph said directly.

"Ah! 2.2 million pounds? This figure may not be available even for famous people?"

After hearing Geraph "Lion" open his mouth, Jimmy's two female assistants couldn't help but also said in surprise. But the final decision was in Jimmy's hands, and they were just reminding their superiors. As for the final decision, it was up to Jimmy.

Jimmy has been in the publishing business for most of his life, and he has also been responsible for many foreign books. As his two assistants said, 2.2 million pounds is indeed the upper limit price for a collection of poems. After all, the marketability of poetry collections is not as wide as that of novels.

First of all, a collection of poems no matter which country or world it is in. If its book market is not popular, it will be more difficult to make money.

Therefore, after Jimmy heard the reminder from the two female assistants, he had to think for a while before making a decision.

Perhaps it is a natural love and obsession for poetry. What's more, "The Collection of All Beings" is such an excellent collection of poems. When Jimmy was thinking, there seemed to be a voice in his heart telling him: buy it. This is a great collection of poems.

Americans often like to do things according to the voice in their hearts, and Jimmy is no exception. Therefore, he plans to follow the voice in his heart and spend 2.2 million pounds to buy the American text copyright of "The Collection of All Beings".

So, Jimmy thought about it for a while. He said: "Okay. Dear Mr. Gelafxian, we are willing to pay 2.2 million pounds for this excellent collection of poems."

"Ah! Editor-in-chief Jimmy, do you really want to spend 2.2 million pounds to buy the copyright of a collection of poems?"

"Yeah! Editor Jimmy, we can go back and think about it before making a decision."

After hearing that Jimmy wanted to buy it, his two assistants immediately reminded him again. (To be continued.)
