My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Chapter 577 I'll Listen to You

Zhao Hanting looked up and immediately noticed Liu Jin's smug expression, feeling extremely displeased. "Minister Liu, do you think your company, Yueji, can offer this price?"

"If possible, then we, the All-People Music Association, are willing to withdraw from this competition!"

These words were spoken with such confidence and conviction.

To everyone's surprise, Liu Jin was not angry at all after hearing this; instead, he was overjoyed. "Team Leader Zhao, is what you said true?"

Liu Jin's reaction startled Zhao Hanting, who asked in surprise and doubt, "Liu Jin, are you serious? Yueji's pricing is pure malicious competition!"

"Malicious competition?"

Liu Jin waved his hand, "Team Leader Zhao's words are hilarious. What malicious competition? Have you forgotten how Quanmin Music became the dominant music platform?"

"Didn't you guys burn through money like crazy when you first started out with All-People Music? What, are you allowed to set fires but others aren't allowed to light lamps?"

His words left Zhao Hanting speechless.

That's the truth, and there's no denying it.

Seeing that Zhao Hanting had fallen silent, Liu Jin smiled at Lin Mo and An Youyu, took out a briefcase, and handed two copies of a contract to them. "We'll settle on an exclusive licensing fee of 50 million per year. If you two have any additional requests, please feel free to ask, and Yueji Music will try its best to accommodate them."

Lin Mo quickly glanced at the contract in front of him and chuckled, "Yueji's sincerity is certainly quite impressive!"

"This is natural."

Liu Jin smiled in agreement, then looked at Zhao Hanting and said, "Team Leader Zhao, your Quanmin Music team can continue to participate in the bidding. Let's have healthy competition."

Zhao Hanting: "..."

Screw healthy competition!

A ten million yuan annual exclusive licensing fee is already the bottom line. Yueji has already increased the price fivefold. Under these circumstances, how can they participate in the bidding?

"let's go!"

Zhao Hanting greeted Xun Mi with a gloomy expression, then got up and walked outside.

Seeing this, Xunmi hurriedly got up and followed.

As the two reached the door of the private room, Liu Jin called out, "Team Leader Zhao, you can just go ahead. I'll pay the bill."

Zhao Hanting paused, then took larger steps as he left.

Xun Mi glared at Liu Jin, still unconvinced, before leaving.

The moment the door to the private room closed, Liu Jin revealed a victorious smile, stood up, and sat down opposite Lin Mo and An Youyu. "Gentlemen," he said, "I'll say it again: anything can be discussed. Yueji will definitely make sure you're both satisfied with this collaboration."

Lin Mo tapped the contract, then turned to An Youyu, "How is it?"

An Youyu glanced at Liu Jin and secretly tugged at Lin Mo's clothes under the table.

After noticing An Youyu's subtle movements, Lin Mo moved closer to her. "What's wrong?"

An Youyu tugged at Lin Mo's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Can this price be raised?"

Lin Mo was taken aback, "How much do you want it to go?"

"One hundred million?"

"..."

Lin Mo suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. At this moment, he regretted his previous decision. This little thing was completely obsessed with money and couldn't be pulled out.

Before coming to the coffee shop, Lin Mo and An Youyu reached an agreement.

The agreement was simple: Lin Mo's expected price was an exclusive licensing fee of five million per year, and An Youyu would be responsible for negotiating the price. If the price was higher than five million per year, the two of them would split the extra money.

That's why An Youyu went back on his word just now.

And now, the little girl wants to back out again...

"cough--"

Seeing the two whispering to each other, Liu Jin's smile froze, and he cautiously asked, "Aren't you two satisfied with the exclusive licensing fee of 50 million a year?"

"This one……"

Lin Mo glanced at An Youyu, and was struggling with how to explain to Liu Jin when An Youyu's voice rang out, "Yes, can the exclusive licensing fee be increased a little more?"

Meeting the girl's clear gaze, Liu Jin clicked his tongue and asked, "Um... how much more will it go up?"

Upon hearing that there was hope, An Youyu stretched out her left hand and gestured.

Liu Jin guessed, "Five hundred thousand?"

An Youyu shook her head.

Liu Jin's lips twitched. "Five million?"

An Youyu continued to shake her head.

Liu Jin was dumbfounded, then thought for a moment, "Could it be fifty thousand?"

An Youyu simply quoted a price: "Another 50 million."

Liu Jin: "..."

Is this what you call a slight increase?

This is called doubling!

"Cough! Cough cough..."

Liu Jin coughed awkwardly twice, looking to Lin Mo for help as he patiently explained, "Ms. An, your request is really a bit... Hehe, the search data for the song 'Youth' is indeed very high, but an exclusive licensing fee of 100 million yuan per year is just too high..."

Lin Mo sighed, "Minister Liu, don't take it to heart, it was just a joke."

Maximizing profits is certainly not wrong, but charging exorbitant prices is not.

No matter how popular the song "Youth" is, its value is ultimately limited, and asking for such an exorbitant price is really a bit excessive.

An Youyu blinked in confusion. "I'm not joking. Also, didn't you tell me to talk about the price? You're not allowed to say anything when I'm talking about the price."

Lin Mo: "..."

Finish the calf!

Are they not letting him speak?

In response, Lin Mo patiently explained, "Little Fish, I did ask you to negotiate the price, but you have to negotiate in a reasonable way. A 50 million yuan annual exclusive licensing fee is already outrageous. It really can't be doubled. Yueji can't afford such a high price."

"is it?"

An Youyu gently poked her chin and looked at Liu Jin, her eyes filled with a hint of seeking confirmation.

Liu Jin chuckled dryly, "Actually, it's not that I can't offer a price of one hundred million, but there's one condition."

An Youyu smiled happily and raised her eyebrows at Lin Mo, "Did you hear that? One hundred million is possible."

Lin Mo couldn't manage a smile.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Since Yueji is willing to spend an extra 50 million, the terms must be quite substantial.

"Minister Liu, please speak frankly. What are your conditions?"

"Spokesperson".

When Lin Mo asked, Liu Jin frankly said, "Besides signing the exclusive authorization for the song 'Youth', we have another purpose in coming to see you two this time. Our Yueji Music platform has not yet signed a spokesperson, and your image and identity are a perfect match for Yueji."

As he spoke, he took out two more endorsement contracts from his briefcase. "These are the draft contracts. The term is three years. The endorsement fee is 30 million per person, which adds up to 60 million. Adding the previous exclusive authorization fee, the total is 110 million."

"Endorsement?"

Lin Mo picked up the contract and read it carefully, pondering to himself.

The endorsement contract offered by Yueji Music is clear at a glance: a three-year term, a fee of 30 million yuan per person, and a price of 10 million yuan per year. This is a treatment that only top-tier stars can get. Even though Lin Mo and An Youyu have a lot of fans, they are still just students. This price is already very high.

Moreover, the so-called endorsement content is very simple: take a few sets of photos to cooperate with publicity, and participate in the platform's music festival event once a year.

Then, there were no other requirements.

A very clean endorsement contract!

"Little Fish, what do you think?"

Hearing Lin Mo's question, An Youyu gently shook her head, "Why are you asking me about this? I don't want my opinion, I want yours."

Finally, she added very quietly, "I'll listen to you."

Chapter 578 Godfather above, please accept my bow

"I'll listen to you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin, sitting opposite Lin Mo, couldn't help but cast an envious glance at him.

Such a favored daughter of heaven, yet so obedient?

What good deeds did Lin Mo do in his past life? Did he save the universe?

Lin Mo noticed Liu Jin's gaze and nodded with a smile, "This endorsement contract is very good, we can sign it, but I think the price is negotiable."

"This is natural."

Liu Jin was not surprised by this. No matter how sincere Yueji was, the initial price was still the initial price. No one would play a royal flush right away when playing Dou Dizhu.

Lin Mo didn't waste any words and said directly, "Minister Liu, let's not beat around the bush. A fixed price of 50 million for three years. If you think that's acceptable, we can sign the contract now. If you can't accept it, then forget it."

This negotiation method left Liu Jin somewhat bewildered, "Fifty million..."

"Okay, fifty million over three years!"

This amount is pretty much the bottom; he really can't accept anything higher.

Seeing that Liu Jin agreed, Lin Mo readily picked up a pen and quickly signed the contract and added his bank card number to it.

An Youyu followed suit.

After she signed, Lin Mo picked up her contract again and glanced at it. After confirming that there were no problems, he handed both contracts to Liu Jin and extended his right hand, saying, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

"Pleasant to work with."

Having achieved his goal, Liu Jin was also very happy. He shook hands with Lin Mo and said, "How about this, it's still early, I'll treat you to a meal?"
