Chapter 44
The atmosphere in the second round of negotiations was more harmonious than in the first round.

Both Mu Bai and Yang Wenjun were no longer so "unfriendly", but the happier Yang Wenjun smiled, the more uncertain Ma Jingping felt.

It was still Ma Jingping who first started the topic. First of all, on behalf of the company, he agreed to Yang Wenjun's proposal yesterday, but the annual price of 50 yuan was too high, and he hoped it could be reduced to 30 yuan.

This is really the most favorable condition that Ma Jingping can obtain.

In fact, from the very beginning of this matter, he was a bit "shaving his head and picking his head." As the manager of the advertising department, Ma Jingping was keenly aware that "Quiet Night Thoughts" was very suitable for the company's products.

If done properly, the advertising effect can easily lead to further fermentation and explosion.

However, neither the company director nor the chairman had this concept, so Hongyu Company was not very enthusiastic about this negotiation.

When the director learned that Mu Bai had won the championship of the "Seven Academy Art Competition", he took a refresher look at this negotiation, and then offered a price of 30 a year.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even give 30. After all, Mu Bai's popularity is not high, and 30 is already a good price.

At the beginning, Yang Wenjun still gritted his teeth and made a gesture of not retreating a step. After talking for a while, Ma Jingping said that if they can't agree, then there is no need to talk.

Yang Wenjun sighed and said: "You also said in the chat just now, you have also heard Mu Bai's "Travel", it is definitely a song that can be a god. At that time, Mu Bai's popularity will rise, 50 The price of [-] yuan is equivalent to the price of cabbage."

"We have also imagined this," Ma Jingping said: "But our products have to proceed from reality, and Mu Bai's current popularity is not worth the price."

"Let's do this." Yang Wenjun proposed again: "Let's take a step back, the ownership for one year is still 50, but you can divide it into two settlements.

"I have learned about your company's products. The main business is concentrated in the first month and August. You pay 30 first, and use the elements of "Quiet Night Thoughts" to do a round of advertisements in the first month.

"If the effect is good, you will pay the remaining 20 on the first day of May next year."

Ma Jingping and his colleagues looked at each other, this proposal is not bad, the initial investment is 30 anyway.As long as you want to promote cooperation, you have to spend the 30 yuan. If the effect is good, the 20 yuan is not bad.

Speaking of this, Ma Jingping naturally had to report to the director again.

That night, Ma Jingping called Mu Bai and told Mu Bai that the company had agreed to the proposal and would sign a contract at the hotel tomorrow.

The next day Yang Wenjun hired a lawyer, and after seeing that there was no problem with the contract, the two parties signed the contract.

Finally, the contract was signed, and Ma Jingping was relieved. He smiled and said to Mu Bai: "We have signed a contract now, and we are considered partners. We have to ask Teacher Mu Bai for help with some small things."

Mu Bai asked: "What's the matter? Please tell me."

Ma Jingping took a sip of tea and continued: ""Quiet Night Thoughts" is the work of Mr. Mu Bai. You should be familiar with this kind of nostalgia and reunion emotions. We would like to trouble Mr. Mu Bai to draw a few paintings suitable for the occasion. We are designing advertisements. It’s time to have some material.”

Talking about royalties was Mu Bai's strong point. Ma Jingping, an old fox, only said he was helping and didn't mention royalties at all.

He smiled and said, "I remember that Manager Ma said before that you like the cover of "Prestige" very much. Do you know how much the manuscript fee for that cover is?"

"How many?"

"Thirty thousand!"

"This..." Ma Jingping said with a smile: "Teacher Mu Bai may have misunderstood, we just need some materials."

"There are plenty of materials about the reunion, you can find them yourself, there is no need for me to provide them." Mu Bai will not be fooled by this.

Ma Jingping said that he wanted materials, but once he agrees, Ma Jingping will definitely give him some original painting design work, and he has suffered this kind of loss before.

"Aren't we partners?" Ma Jingping said with a smile, "Just take it as a help."

"Sorry, I'm actually very busy. Not only do I have to go to class, but I also have to go to Shesheng Company to work." Mu Bai said with a smile: "Besides, it didn't say in the contract that I need to provide materials for your company."

Ma Jingping is now completely convinced by the two students Mu Bai and Yang Wenjun. Although they are not as tactful as the people in the mall, neither of them are fuel-efficient lamps, so don't try to get cheap from them.

He thought about contracting the design of the original painting to the studio instead of Mu Bai, so he said with a smile, "Actually, I hope that Teacher Mu Bai can provide some original paintings."

"What kind of original painting? How many do you need?"

"Print advertisements, or the original paintings that may be used on the packaging bags, let's draw three first. As for the price, look..."

"I just said, [-] a piece."

"It's a bit expensive."

"Well, I will provide three original paintings. If you adopt them, one will be 10 yuan. If you don't, one will be [-] yuan. But if there is a situation where you say no to it, but you use it for commercial activities, you need an original painting. Pay a manuscript fee of [-] yuan."

Ma Jingping slapped the table: "Okay!"

It happened that the lawyer was there, and the two parties signed an agreement, and the entrustment became effective.

The order of [-] is a big order, and there is still plenty of time, as long as it is completed within the twelfth lunar month.

Mu Bai asked Ma Jingping for more detailed information about Hongyu's consumer group, etc., and Ma Jingping promised to send it to Mu Bai's mailbox in a while.

After coming out of the hotel, Mu Bai paid the lawyer's fee and prepared to pay Yang Wenjun an employment fee.

Yang Wenjun didn't want anything, and Mu Bai didn't insist. After all, she was planning to help, and if she forced money, the nature changed.

The next day, Mu Bai appeared in the studio again. Anyway, no one informed him that he would take back the studio, so he continued to use it.

He first roughly read the materials sent by Ma Jingping, looking for inspiration, and just when he was about to start writing, Zhou Yazhe came to the studio: "You kid is so inactive in receiving bonuses, if you don't come to the studio, I will give it to you." to deliver."

"I have something to do these two days, and I can't get away from it." This is the truth, these two days Mu Bai is busy talking about the signing of the contract, and has no time to come to the art department.

Zhou Yazhe transferred the bonus to Mu Bai: "You should know that bonuses are taxable. The bonus of 10 yuan is before tax."

"I know, thank you Professor Zhou for your previous recommendation."

"It's nothing. Of course I won't miss any good works." Zhou Yazhe put away his phone: "And there will be a picture book for the excellent works of this competition. The publishing house that cooperates with the school will come with a contract in two days. It's time for you to sign."

"Ok."

Zhou Yazhe explained casually: "Because it is a student's work, the manuscript fee is not very much, but it is better than nothing."

He sat down on the chair and said, "There is one more thing. Kan Ze contacted me a few days ago and said that a friend of his wants to ask you to draw a set of illustrations. If you are interested, I will let him know."

Mu Baixin said, these two days have really brought in a lot of money, just finished talking about an advertisement, and another illustration.
