Chapter 820: Chapter 816: Selling at a Good Price
Fenny Watts always felt that her friend was comforting herself.
As for Richelle Dunn, investing or not was secondary. Mainly, she wanted to help her friend get in touch with the production team to see if they were reliable.
Now it seemed that, other than the low price, everything was fine.
“So you think Mr. Bailes will talk to us again?”
Richelle shook her head.
“I’m not sure; after all, I’m not him. And this depends on whether he has any other similar works with the same potential as backup options.”
When it came to the work, Fenny immediately became very confident.
“I can guarantee that he has no backup option, because in the past few years, there is only one work like ours with such a wide audience on the entire platform. Our work is the first in its category.”
After hearing this, Richelle smiled and said.
“What should I do? Now that you say this, I feel like my price is too low.”
Fenny hugged her arm, “Then I’ll sell it to you cheaper, working with you, I’m at ease.”
Richelle patted her head.
“Do you think I’m reluctant to spend money? I’m afraid that your good work will be ruined in my hands.”
Fenny pouted, “How could it be? You’re so amazing…”
Richelle clicked her tongue, “Fingers have different lengths, it’s not possible for me to be good at everything. Although William Bailes made an outrageous initial offer and pushed the price down too much, in terms of professional technical level and follow-up work, he is one of the best in the industry.”
Fenny exclaimed, “Then why not let him produce it with your investment?”
Richelle nodded, “In theory, it would work, but he has a good eye and has made a lot of money in recent years. His company doesn’t lack money.”
“So, if he is willing to come back to talk to you at the price I mentioned and you can accept it, it would be a good start for cooperation.”
Fenny hummed in agreement, “Alright then, let’s see what his reaction will be.”
The next morning, when Richelle Dunn and Fenny Watts returned to their studio, they received a call from William Bailes.
“Ms. Dunn, we are very sincere about the cooperation. Would it be convenient to come to your studio and discuss in detail?”
Richelle, with a heart full of happiness, maintained a nonchalant tone.
“Mr. Bailes, please wait a moment. Let me ask Fenny about her schedule and get back to you, is that okay?”
Richelle put on quite a show of importance.
On the other hand, William Bailes’ attitude was exceptionally good.
“Of course, it’s our fault for being abrupt. I’ll wait for Ms. Dunn’s good news.”
Richelle hung up the phone, and Fenny gave her a thumbs up.
“Richelle, you’re awesome!”
Ricelle smiled at her, “What do you think, Ms. Shawn? When are you available today?”
Fenny also asked with a smile, “Could Ms. Dunn’s secretary please help me check my schedule and see when it’s convenient?”
Richelle laughed, “Ms. Shawn, please wait a moment. Let me rearrange your schedule.”
The two joked and laughed, finally deciding that it would be more appropriate for the others to come in the afternoon.
“But you’ll probably have to stay another night.”
Richelle patted her shoulder, “It’s okay, I can leave later.”
Richelle then called William Bailes back to confirm their meeting time.
“Fenny, call the core team of the work right now, and let’s nail down a clear theme for each season.”
The work was still being serialized, divided into four volumes based on maps. Richelle simply and directly divided it into four seasons according to the maps.
Regarding William Bailes’ coming back to continue the talks, Richelle was only 50% confident.
In any case, she was prepared to invest and find a team herself.
Now that William Bailes was back, they also had to take responsibility and try to make the highlights and core of the work more attractive.
After all, they still had a 10% profit share.
When Richelle mentioned the profit share, the core team members were very excited.
However, Fenny was somewhat worried.
“I’m just afraid they won’t agree to such a high price in the end.”
Richelle clicked her tongue, “Now, he’s coming to us, whether we sell or not, we have to agree. Besides, if he can’t afford such a price, I can, or worse, I’ll just find another team.”
Richelle wasn’t short on money; she was short on time.
With Fenny’s concern dispelled, they began discussing earnestly with the core team members.
In the afternoon, William Bailes arrived on time with his two assistants and a legal representative.
Obviously, preparations had been made for signing the contract.
This time, Richelle invited several core creators of the work as well because they had the most say in whether the work was worth the price.
When William Bailes started speaking, he still tried to negotiate the price.
“Ms. Dunn, we really cannot accept the price. Can we talk about it again?”
Richelle didn’t refuse directly but pointed to a few core creators.
“Mr. Bailes, I’m not a person who likes to make empty promises. Last night, Fenny and I pulled together the core creators to discuss the main themes of the four-map work. Why don’t you listen to them talk about the themes first, and then make a decision?”
