System: Master Your Life

The issue with the disciple group can be set aside for now, Xu Lin has been busy for most of the day and is not looking to continue work right now.

Then Xu Lin opened Ranzhi's chat interface.

A few days ago, Xu Lin added Ranzhi on his work account as well. He rarely uses his QQ account, if not for the university class group and various university course groups needing QQ, Xu Lin might not have kept this software.

Xu Lin opened the message from Ranzhi sent this afternoon, which he hadn't had time to look at.

Ranzhi: "Mr. Xu, regarding your script's copyright, someone wants to collaborate, are you aware of this?"

Xu Lin's script was published as a novel on a novel website, with copyright collaboration contact information on the page.

Such collaboration contacts will notify the author through the backend, and the website is aware of it too.

Now there is someone looking to collaborate.

Actually, there were already investors interested in collaborating before, but the offered price was too low, only offering twenty million for the copyright, which Xu Lin wasn't interested in.

After paying taxes, it wouldn't even be twenty million, too little, they even wanted a buyout, meaning subsequent copyright operation income would have nothing to do with Xu Lin, why would he pay them any mind?

Last time his novel's copyright brought in forty million.

So Xu Lin thought he could wait. In Xu Lin's view, the price could be lower, but the subsequent copyright operation share, the profit for him as the original author and screenwriter can't be less.

Xu Lin: "Let me take a look."

Xu Lin opened the author backend and quickly saw a few messages regarding copyright transactions.

"Mr. Xu, we are Yongning Capital, looking to collaborate on your script's copyright, is that convenient for you?"

"If it's convenient, you can contact..."

Followed by the other party's landline number.

Xu Lin noted the landline number and directly called them.

Answering the call was a woman, Xu Lin explained his intent, and she asked Xu Lin to hold on.

Later the call was transferred to a man.

Judging by his voice, he should be around forty or fifty.

After talking for a while, Xu Lin learned the man's name was Ye Shengjun.

Ye Shengjun is a fanatical enthusiast for political intrigue dramas, having watched all quality such dramas available domestically, whether historical or modern official dramas, and his favorite is undoubtedly "The Great Ming Dynasty 1566", which is his pinnacle of political intrigue dramas.

Now, Ye Shengjun discovered Xu Lin's script, after a simple scan he was already dazzled, later on, he read it thoroughly and was increasingly immersed and impressed by Xu Lin's talent, aware of the script's value, he immediately attempted to contact Mr. Xu.

Someone like him, a big boss, usually doesn't handle direct communication with copyright authors, but Ye Shengjun is a talent enthusiast and very much wanted to talk to the author, hence he specially instructed to transfer any call to his office.

Xu Lin hit the point: "Mr. Ye, how much are you planning to spend on this script's copyright?"

"What price are you looking for, Mr. Xu?"

Ye Shengjun is an old hand, in addition to having a mental scale, he possesses a sense of value, as long as it's within that scale it's fine.

"That novel of mine, the copyright went for one hundred million, eventually netting forty million, plus 8% of subsequent profits, and the scriptwriter for that is also me, so now for this script, my rights can't be less, can they?"

Xu Lin: "How about it Mr. Ye?"

"Is tomorrow convenient for you, Mr. Xu?"

"That's fine."

"Then can we talk tomorrow afternoon? I'm also here in Jiangdu."

Jiangdu, being a major city, has countless companies, it's indeed convenient.

Xu Lin: "Sure, let's meet tomorrow then!"

"Where would Mr. Xu prefer to meet?"

"Mr. Ye can choose the location."

"Then let's meet at Junlan Hotel!"

"Ok."

The two chatted a few more words and ended the call.

Xu Lin didn't expect the other party to agree so easily, if they thought Xu Lin's requirements were too high, there wouldn't be tomorrow's face-to-face meeting.

"Damn, had I known I'd raise the demand, would it be too little?"

"Oh well, it'll be sorted tomorrow."

Before it got dark, Xu Lin went out once more.

Xu Lin first visited a suit store and bought a new suit, including shoes.

The previous suit Xu Lin had worn several times, so he wanted a change.

This new suit, a complete set, costs about twenty thousand, and has a great texture.

It's a black style, all black.

Adding that Xu Lin has a model-like physique, this suit compares two or three points better looking than the previous one.

As a solitary man out, definitely no window shopping, so Xu Lin ate a meal and returned.

Nothing to say throughout the night.

Time quickly reached the next day.

In the morning, Xu Lin played some games until two in the afternoon, then bathed, changed into the new suit, and headed out.

Junlan Hotel.

There are quite a few five-star hotels here in Jiangdu, and Junlan Hotel is one of them.

After parking in the outside lot, Xu Lin glanced in the rearview mirror to tidy up his clothes.

Because he was wearing a suit, the Dragon among Men buff was automatically activated.

"Do I have a new buff yet?"

Xu Lin focused his mind and activated a new buff.

Unyielding Aura buff!

So now Xu Lin, with the combination of two buffs, has a more sophisticated aura based on the Dragon among Men.

What is Unyielding Aura?

This is a special presence developed by those who've faced big waves and storms, impossible to possess without certain experience.

"Settled!"

Xu Lin was quite satisfied with his current appearance, got out of the car, and went straight into the hotel.

Due to the appointment, the hotel staff personally welcomed him and led Xu Lin to a top-class private room on the third floor.
