Chapter 283: Contacting The Website To Purchase Copyright!
Jiang Tao’s three goals for coming to Jiang Yi and the others this morning were all achieved.
If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang An’an will be able to complete her enrollment procedures today.
This way 【 Jiang Xue’s Wishlist 】 task can be completed.
It also incidentally completed the special mission 【Guide】 that Jiang Yi had triggered earlier.
And discovered a treasure like the potential-unlimited beautiful streamer Jiang Yi.
With Jiang Yi’s various conditions, through certain operations and investment of resources.
I dare not say she will become extremely popular in the future, but reaching the level of millions of fans should not be difficult.
Jiang Tao was deeply convinced of this and utterly certain.
With the boost of the 【Bole】 skill.
When he was recruiting people for his entertainment company, he could basically hit the mark every time.
All employees currently signed with the company, including his father-in-law and sister-in-law, are potential stocks.
The fact that his father-in-law and sister-in-law are currently showing good growth in follower numbers also proves the power of the 【Bole】 skill.
Jiang Tao stayed at Jiang Yi’s place until past 9 AM before going downstairs and walking back to his own place.
“Boss.”
Jia Guilin, who had been waiting downstairs, saw Jiang Tao and proactively greeted him.
“Go take a look at Xiao Shahe Village.”
After Jiang Tao gave an address, he got into the car and sat in the back seat.
Yuan Mengqi and Lin Ranran successfully enrolled today and began a month and a half of training.
During the day, Jiang Tao was not in a hurry to go and spar with Yuan Mengqi.
In about 10 minutes, Jia Guilin drove to the vicinity of the land Jiang Tao contracted in Dongxindian, Xiao Shahe Village, and stopped the car in a non-obstructive spot.
After Jiang Tao got out of the car, he saw Liu Yuan talking by the roadside with a man wearing a light gray work uniform and a bamboo hat.
“Manager Jiang, you’re here.”
“Master Liu, let me introduce you. This is Jiang Tao, the Manager Jiang from our company.”
“Manager Jiang, this is Master Liu Jianfei from Qingfeng Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. Master Liu’s company is responsible for the reclamation work on this land.”
“Good morning, Manager Jiang. It’s an honor to cooperate with your company. We ask for your continued guidance in the future.”
Liu Jianfei greeted Jiang Tao respectfully. The total cost of this project was over a hundred thousand yuan, which was a big client for their company.
“Certainly, there will be many more opportunities for cooperation in the future.”
Jiang Tao also smiled and greeted Liu Jianfei. After shaking hands, they were acquainted.
Next, Liu Yuan took Jiang Tao and Liu Jianfei for a tour of the land, introducing the progress of the land reclamation and future plans.
Jiang Tao watched several rotary tillers working back and forth on the ground, looking like a scene of bustling activity, and felt a sense of accomplishment.
The morning passed quickly.
During this time, Jiang Yi informed Jiang Tao via WeChat that Jiang An’an’s enrollment procedures were completed, and she had become a transfer student in Jiang Xue’s class.
Jiang Tao also received the 1,000,000 reward from the 【Jiang Xue’s Wishlist 】 mission, as well as rewards for physique and inventory slots.
Jiang Yi also submitted her resignation to the school, and she was no longer a teacher at Aidi Kindergarten.
At noon, Jiang Tao treated everyone to a meal.
They ate at Pang Ge Barbecue in the Xiao Shahe Urban Village, where he had previously obtained the Melo Pearl.
This restaurant was his place of fortune, and he had a special feeling for it.
While treating them, he also invited his landlord, Lu Qian, and several cadres from the Xiao Shahe Urban Village committee.
Tian Jianhui, Liu Jiafu, and Zhang Zengxi readily agreed after receiving Jiang Tao’s invitation.
Jiang Tao was renting land in Xiao Shahe Village and starting a business, which would bring many opportunities to the village in the future.
It could even drive the economic development of the village.
After all, given the scale of the land Jiang Tao contracted, if he were to engage in agricultural planting, he would need to hire at least twenty to thirty employees.
This would create twenty to thirty job positions.
These employees’ food, accommodation, and daily expenses in Xiao Shahe would also generate consumption, contributing to the village’s economic development.
Tian Jianhui and the others also wanted to build a good relationship with Jiang Tao, as they might benefit from him in the future.
The meal lasted from around 12 PM until past 2 PM.
Everyone ate and drank well, had pleasant conversations, and their relationships grew significantly closer.
Although they drank a lot of alcohol during the meal, Jiang Tao’s alcohol tolerance had greatly increased.
Apart from smelling a bit of alcohol and smoke.
He didn’t look like he had drunk 2 jin of Baijiu at all.
After parting ways at the entrance of Pang Ge Barbecue, Jiang Tao escorted the clearly intoxicated Lu Qian home.
He also went upstairs to his original rental room to take a nap.
Although he rarely lived in this room now, Ma Dongmei often helped him clean it and air out the bedding.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he reached out and touched the clean and tidy bedsheet, which still smelled of laundry detergent and sunshine, indicating it had been washed not long ago.
It wasn’t bad to consider this a “secret base” for his own solitude.
“Right, the script!”
Jiang Tao took out his mobile phone to scroll through it before sleeping.
He suddenly remembered the script for a web novel mentioned in the second piece of intelligence refreshed today.
Although that book was a complete flop and might not be conspicuous among hundreds of thousands of web novels.
But it’s better to be safe than sorry.
If someone else were to snatch up the script, he wouldn’t even have a place to cry.
With a thought, he opened the system interface and the second piece of intelligence refreshed today.
【Today’s Intelligence 02】:
You had contact with Gu Lina yesterday and obtained related intelligence—
Gu Lina’s novel currently being serialized on Certain Point Girls’ Network, 《Eighteen-Year-Old Great-Grandmother》, has immense potential for adaptation into a short play!
Purchasing the copyright for adaptation can yield ten thousand times the profit!
……
In this piece of intelligence, everything else was normal black text, but the three characters for Gu Lina were dark gold.
Clicking on “Gu Lina’s” name.
The system interface flickered, and a three-dimensional image of Gu Lina suddenly appeared in the void in front of Jiang Tao.
It was as if she were standing right in front of Jiang Tao.
With a thought from Jiang Tao, a string of numbers appeared next to Gu Lina’s three-dimensional image, which was her phone number.
This function of the system was indeed excellent, and Jiang Tao liked it very much as it could save him a lot of trouble.
Without the information provided by System Brother.
It would not be easy for him to contact Gu Lina, whom he had only met once and who had not left any contact information.
When Jiang Tao read the book at midnight, he discovered it had been completed for over a year, and there were no other books listed under her name.
It was likely that she had either stopped writing or changed her pen name, making it difficult to find her by leaving comments for the author.
“138…”
Jiang Tao dialed the displayed number and found it was a number registered in Shi City, Hebei Province.
“What a coincidence, she’s even a fellow villager?”
Seeing the registered location of Gu Lina’s number, Jiang Tao was slightly surprised.
Dudu Dudu…
After the call was dialed, the speaker emitted a beeping sound, which lasted for about 10 seconds before being answered.
“Hello, may I ask who is calling.”
A somewhat familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
They had just met yesterday, so Jiang Tao hadn’t completely forgotten Gu Lina.
“Hello, is this Gu Lina.”
Jiang Tao didn’t waste time with Gu Lina and got straight to the point.
“Ah, yes, it’s me. Who is this?”
Gu Lina was clearly puzzled by Jiang Tao’s unfamiliar number.
“We met yesterday at KFC. I am Jiang An’an’s boss.”
“Oh!! Big Brother, I remember you! Then, why are you calling me…”
On the other end of the phone, Gu Lina clearly had a deep impression of Jiang Tao.
Hearing his hint, she matched his image and voice.
Jiang Tao was already very handsome, and with his charm value skyrocketing recently as he completed tasks.
And with the increase in his physique, his figure was gradually becoming perfect.
Even Jiang Tao felt that his height had increased slightly with the growth of his physique.
This was not an illusion, but a fact.
Jiang Tao’s previous height was 1.82 meters, and now his height had grown to 1.85 meters.
At over 30 years old, his height had increased by another 3 centimeters.
Jiang Dad, Jiang Mom, and Xu Li were also greatly amazed.
A height of 1.85 meters, weighing 70KG, coupled with handsome facial features.
Jiang Tao had now become more handsome and stylish than the so-called “uncle-type” charming men online.
Moreover, with the increase in assets and the expansion of business sectors, he gradually cultivated an aura of immense confidence and nobility.
This unique temperament was difficult for ordinary people to imitate.
Even if imitated, it would only be superficial and difficult to capture the essence.
“Yesterday, while I was reading online, I accidentally came across a novel you wrote…”
Jiang Tao briefly explained the situation to Gu Lina.
He also revealed that he owned an entertainment company.
Finally, he expressed his interest in adapting her book into a script and wanted to inquire about copyright matters.
About 40 kilometers away from Jiang Tao’s rental room.
In a rental room in the Dongxindian Urban Village, similar in size and layout to his own.
Gu Lina, who had just been rejected by her editor again, listened to the voice on the phone.
Her expression alternated between joy, confusion, and excitement.
Did the sun rise from the west today?
Someone actually wanted to buy the copyright of her flop novel, which hadn’t even earned full attendance when it was serialized!
At this moment, holding her phone and pinching her thigh, Gu Lina felt a sense of extreme unreality.
Copyright development was generally exclusive to top authors, platine authors, and other established writers on novel websites.
Someone like her, who earned a part-time income of one to two thousand yuan a month as a flop, had nothing to do with copyright development!
If she hadn’t met Jiang Tao in person and known he was a company boss.
And her favorite actor was also an employee of Jiang Tao’s company.
She would have definitely considered Jiang Tao a big scammer and suspected it was some new type of scam.
Using the excuse of copyright development to scam her money for so-called data operations.
And then, for various reasons, it couldn’t be successfully developed, and she couldn’t do anything about him.
But listening to Jiang Tao’s explanation, she didn’t have to pay anything, nor did she have to exert any effort. She just needed to give him her editor’s contact information.
“Okay, Manager Jiang. I’ll contact my editor right away.”
“I’ll get back to you with a message or a call later.”
“Okay, okay, goodbye.”
After Jiang Tao on the other end hung up, Gu Lina held her phone tightly and excitedly walked around her rental room five or six times before her emotions slightly calmed down.
“Someone wants to buy the copyright of my novel!”
“Oh my god, am I dreaming? This isn’t a dream, is it?”
“If this is a dream, then let me dream a little longer!”
“Gu Lina, you are too amazing, too amazing! You’ve finally reached the day you can sell your copyright!”
“So impressive! So impressive!”
Gu Lina was excited for a while before opening the QQ app on her phone and finding the editor who had just rejected her manuscript.
As Jiang Tao had predicted, Gu Lina had already used several pen names and tried many themes and styles.
She was currently serializing a male-oriented harem novel.
The results were also very poor, earning only two to three thousand yuan a month for hardship, barely making ends meet.
“Editor Big, a boss just contacted me saying he wants to buy the short play copyright for one of my books.”
“Could you please give me the contact information of the colleague responsible for these matters?”
After contemplating for a while, Gu Lina sent two messages to her editor, and soon received a reply.
To be honest, Gu Lina’s editor was also very surprised, confused, and vigilant after seeing her message.
As Gu Lina’s editor, he naturally knew her authorial capabilities.
Selling copyrights?
Dreaming too big!
However, he didn’t want to dampen Gu Lina’s enthusiasm and readily gave her the contact number of the colleague responsible for short play business.
After receiving the number, Gu Lina thanked the editor repeatedly and then sent the number to Jiang Tao.
Subsequently, Gu Lina clasped her hands together and bowed several times towards the window.
“Heaven bless me, it must sell, it must succeed!”
“Even if I can only sell it for two to three thousand, it’s still unexpected income!”
“Please, please~”
……
In a rental room in Xiao Shahe Urban Village.
Jiang Tao saw the phone number Gu Lina sent him on his phone and dialed it directly.
When the call connected, a girl answered.
“Hello, I would like to purchase the exclusive film and television drama copyright for a novel…”
After the call connected, Jiang Tao discussed the film and television copyright issues of the book 《Eighteen-Year-Old Great-Grandmother》 with the other party for over half an hour.
To prevent other companies from following suit and remaking it if the drama became popular in the future, Jiang Tao specifically requested to buy exclusive rights this time.
Purchasing film and television copyright is not something that can be explained in a phone call or two.
After communicating with the staff member in charge, they agreed to give him a specific answer in 2 days.
She also needed to consult her colleagues in the department to value the copyright.
Jiang Tao’s demeanor was calm and composed, showing no eagerness, so as not to arouse suspicion from the other party.
He could wait for 2 days.
After ending the communication with the website’s copyright department, Jiang Tao took a nap in his rental room until past 5 PM before getting up.
