Li Rui said, "I'm very optimistic about the market prospects of the celestial body, which is why I offered this price. I hope Teacher Zhang can consider it carefully."
Wang Yikai and Jiang Lele were also stunned by the price Li Rui offered, but they quickly recovered.
Wang Yikai hurriedly said, "Teacher Zhang, do you believe he has two hundred thousand? Nowadays, some people don't do things diligently and just rely on swindling to make a living. Be careful not to be fooled!"
Jiang Lele also said, "Our Kaile Film and Television has a strong production team. The copyright of the celestial body can only be fully developed in our hands. As for him... would you rather trust a qualified company like us, or a young man who appeared out of nowhere?"
Zhang Haixin looked Li Rui up and down. Although Li Rui didn't look like a swindler, he also didn't look like he had two hundred thousand.
Li Rui immediately said, "Teacher Zhang, I'll directly transfer it to your V-Chat..."
"What Chat?" Zhang Haixin looked confused.
Li Rui then remembered that V-Chat hadn't been released yet!
Wang Yikai laughed and said, "Teacher Zhang, I think he's here to make jokes. I still have a flight to catch. If you don't sign the contract soon, I'm going to take the money away!" As he spoke, he placed a hand on the cash.
Just then, Chen Qinglian, who had been silent, said, "Hello, Teacher Zhang, I'm Chen Qinglian, a senior wealth management manager at Guangdong Development Bank. This is my business card. Mr. Li Rui is a senior VIP customer of our Guangdong Development Bank, and I can vouch for his financial status!"
Zhang Haixin took the business card in a daze: "This..."
Wang Yikai sneered from the side, "You can print a box of these business cards for ten yuan; they don't prove anything. Teacher Zhang, this is cash!"
Chen Qinglian smiled and said, "A business card indeed doesn't prove anything, but what about a black card? Mr. Li, you can show Teacher Zhang your card!"
Li Rui pulled out the credit card he had just obtained from Guangdong Development Bank.
The black card face was dignified and grand, elegant and stern, with a special pattern. Even people who didn't know the origin of this card would be amazed by it!
This was the legendary black gold card with an unlimited overdraft limit!
The black card is the most honorable symbol in the Bank world; one must have at least an eight-figure deposit in their account to obtain it.
With the black card out, Li Rui's financial strength could no longer be questioned!
"Teacher Zhang, are you sure now? Mr. Li not only has sincerity but also financial backing. If you're not at ease, you can come with us to Guangdong Development Bank right now, and you can get the cash in ten minutes!" Chen Qinglian added.
Zhang Haixin hurriedly said, "No need, I believe in your sincerity. I've decided; the copyright for the celestial body will be sold to you!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yikai and Jiang Lele's expressions changed drastically.
But they had no choice because they couldn't come up with that much money.
Jiang Lele gritted her teeth and said, "Teacher Zhang, we don't want the celestial body. Fly Over Jupiter..."
"I want Fly Over Jupiter too. All of Teacher Zhang's works for which he still holds the copyright, I want them all!" Li Rui said with a faint smile, "If you two have nothing else, you can leave now. Don't delay me and Teacher Zhang from discussing matters."
"You..." Jiang Lele's face turned red. She wanted to curse Li Rui for being so arrogant with a few stinky dollars, but she only opened her mouth and didn't curse.
Not everyone dares to provoke rich people, especially rich people with black cards.
Although the two were unwilling, they could only leave dejectedly.
Li Rui watched their backs and experienced for the first time the joy of a rich person doing whatever he wanted, even if this joy was built on the suffering of others...
Without the interruption of others, Li Rui smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, now we can talk properly."
Zhang Haixin said with a hint of disbelief, "You just said... you want the copyright to all my works?"
Li Rui nodded and said, "That's right, all works. Two hundred thousand for each full-length novel besides the celestial body, and one hundred thousand for each short story, is that acceptable?"
Zhang Haixin's eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid.
Chen Qinglian, who was beside him, was also dumbfounded.
Others only buy one, and you bought them all in one go? Do you think this is a wholesale market buying Bai Cai?
And if you buy so many, you can bargain, right? Didn't you see that they only offered one hundred thousand? Why don't you even bargain a little?
How could Chen Qinglian know Li Rui's thoughts?
Zhang Haixin's works are all masterpieces and are worth the price!
Moreover, giving Zhang Haixin a high price today is for future cooperation.
If he ripped Zhang Haixin off too badly now, how could they cooperate in the future?
"You're not joking, are you?" Although he already knew Li Rui was very rich, Zhang Haixin still couldn't believe it when he heard such a high price.
Chen Qinglian said, "I have a lawyer friend; I can have him come over now to draft a contract to ensure the rights of both parties."
Chen Qinglian (AI generated)
"Let's do that." Li Rui nodded approvingly. This private consultant wasn't hired for nothing; she helped a lot!
Next, Chen Qinglian found a lawyer, and Li Rui and Zhang Haixin organized the copyright information. After the lawyer arrived, they worked for several hours and finally finalized the contract.
Zhang Haixin solemnly signed his name on the contract, transferring the copyrights of his more than ten short and long novels, including the celestial body, to Li Rui. The total transfer fee was one million seven hundred thousand yuan.
Li Rui transferred the agreed-upon transfer fee to Zhang Haixin's account. Subsequent issues such as notarization, tax payment, and registration were all handed over to professional lawyers, so they didn't need to worry.
With the cooperation achieved, both parties were satisfied.
Zhang Haixin said emotionally, "I originally thought I would be very happy to get the money, but now my heart feels empty... It's like selling a child I raised."
Li Rui nodded in understanding and then asked, "Teacher Zhang, why are you in such a hurry to sell the copyright?"
