My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1277 Dad
Just as he was joking with Li Ran.

Zhang You's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Bao'er calling. Zhang You answered without much hesitation.

After spending so much time together, even though Bao'er sometimes showed him certain feelings that are only between men and women after a certain event.

But putting that aside, Bao'er never calls him at night.

Since she's already called, she'll inevitably have to talk about serious matters.

really.

When the call connected, a slightly surprised voice came from the other end, saying, "Zhang You, a foreign TV station has its eye on 'The Voice of China' and wants to buy the remake rights."

"..."

Zhang You was stunned.

He was immediately overjoyed.

He knew it! This show originated in the Netherlands, and after the United States bought the rights, it was launched as "The Voice of America." Later, it was bought by China, and in addition to China, it sold the production rights to several other countries.

It makes no sense that this show, which sold its production rights so well on Earth, has never attracted any interest from foreign television stations since he acquired it.

It's estimated that with the surge in viewership for "The Voice" here, coupled with the high ratings of "Special Voice" after foreign television stations purchased the production rights, foreign television stations or production companies couldn't sit still any longer.

So they started to act. Just as he was about to say something, Zhang You noticed that his little apprentice, who was standing at his door and about to step inside, had stopped and was sneaking up to him, as if he wanted to eavesdrop.

Standing under the streetlamp outside the courtyard, Zhang You reached out and tapped her on the head. He figured that the girl must have been instructed by her master's wife to do such a thing.

Without much hesitation, Zhang You turned on speakerphone. Since the girl wanted to listen, he would let her listen. This way, when his little apprentice went back to report to her master's wife, his image as the master would appear very upright and honest.

"how do you say!?"

Lin Baoer asked.

"Selling the production rights for only one country, the price..."

After a moment's thought, Zhang You stated directly, "Don't even bother talking to me if it's less than forty-five million US dollars."

"Forty-five million dollars!?"

Lin Bao'er's voice has changed.

"Do as I tell you to do."

Zhang You dislikes Bao'er for this very reason: as the head of an entertainment company, she has no courage whatsoever except for maintaining the status quo. This was evident in the previous film, "The Truman Show."

The film was released overseas around Christmas and grossed over 40 million US dollars. After deducting the revenue share from theaters and the buyout fee from Tianyu Entertainment and his company, plus the publicity expenses before and after the release, it seems like he lost a lot of money.

However, foreign box office revenue only accounts for one-third of the income, with other revenue streams from several other channels. The profit cycle may be longer, but there will be no losses. The key point is that, reportedly because of the good box office performance, the producers are planning to find foreign actors to remake the film. No one knows better than Zhang You what kind of success this film will achieve if it is remade with foreign actors.

That's a bit disrespectful of you.

Lin Bao'er said angrily, then added, "I think 25 million US dollars is about right."

"You really think so!?"

Zhang You countered with a question, and before Lin Bao'er could answer, he continued, "Here's the deal: we'll split the investment in 'The Voice' 50/50, right? Since you're satisfied with 25 million US dollars, I'll give you that amount. As for the rest, you can have my business department negotiate according to my demand of 45 million US dollars. If we reach an agreement, the extra 20 million US dollars is mine; if not, the company will take 12.5 million US dollars from me."

Because Zhang You had the phone on speakerphone, Li Ran overheard the entire conversation between her master and Aunt Lin. The girl was counting on her fingers, seemingly trying to calculate how much the US dollars her master had mentioned were worth.

After a while.

The girl's eyes widened, and she instinctively stuck out her tongue.

then.

While Zhang You was puzzled, the girl turned and ran into the courtyard, calling out "Master's wife, Master's wife" as she ran.

Hearing Li Ran's voice, Jiang Yiren, who was waiting for her husband to bring her daughter back, thought something terrible had happened.

She picked up her son and walked downstairs.

Xiao Zishan also stood up from the sofa and ran downstairs after her.

"What's wrong?!" Jiang Yiren asked hurriedly when she saw Li Ran rushing in.

"My master has made a lot of money."

Xiao Zishan immediately replied, "Yes...there are over three hundred million."

"real!?"

Jiang Yiren almost dropped her youngest son in her arms in her excitement, but fortunately she held him tightly in time, thus preventing her son from falling for the first time before he learned to walk.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah"

Li Ran nodded quickly.

"Where is your master!?"

Before Li Ran could even answer, Jiang Yiren, dressed in her pajamas, disregarded the cold outside and carried her youngest son out of the yard.

As for Xiao Zishan muttering behind her, "They're making so much money, but I don't get a share," Jiang Yiren pretended not to hear it.

She can give.

But it's definitely not because this brat forced me to give it to her. Being forced... that would be going against the natural order. Anyway, the more this brat acts like this, the less likely I am to give it to her. At most, I'll just give her two small gold bars from the safe to take with her.

Before he even reached the courtyard gate, Zhang You had already ended his call with Bao'er and walked in. He pointed at Li Ran and said, "You!" He didn't say anything more, but anyway, this girl was a bit mischievous now.

However, Zhang You also knew why this girl had become like this. On the one hand, her master's wife told her to do this, and on the other hand, she wanted to please her master's wife by telling her the good news.

This was mainly due to the sense of unfamiliarity between Li Ran and her master's wife. Even though her master's wife was a very good person, she still gave Li Ran a different feeling.

Pointed at by his master, Li Ran smiled and said, "I was just saying."

"Mr. Zhang, what's going on?!"

Jiang Yiren asked in an urgent tone.

"The production rights to 'The Voice' have caught the eye of foreign television stations, who want to buy them..."

As he spoke, Zhang You looked at Li Ran again, gave her a thumbs up, and said, "Our academic genius is truly amazing; she actually knew how much over forty million US dollars is converted into."

"I'm just doing a quick calculation."

Li Ran was delighted to be praised by her master.

"Did it really sell for that much money!?"

Jiang Yiren felt dizzy. Every now and then, her family would receive a surprise, but tonight's surprise was even bigger, a little over three or four hundred million. Even if the company would take half, it would still be between one hundred and fifty million and two hundred million.

"I don't know yet. Your Chairman Lin said he could sell it for 25 million US dollars, but I didn't agree. So the current result is that I'm asking for 45 million US dollars and I'll let the company's business department negotiate. The bottom line is 40 million US dollars. If it sells, the extra 15 million US dollars will be ours. If it doesn't sell, you'll have to prepare 12.5 million US dollars for the company!"

Zhang You replied with a smile.

"This……"

Jiang Yiren was fully awake.

"Listen to me, even if we can't sell it, the production rights to 'The Voice of China' will belong to our family from now on."

Zhang You said seriously.

"dad"

At this time.

Standing next to Li Ran, Xiao Zishan called out. When Zhang You looked at her, the girl said, "Come with me," and turned to walk upstairs.

Zhang You was immediately confused.

Judging from the girl's tone, she seemed to still harbor resentment, and her back view lacked the liveliness she had shown not long ago when she returned from taking Li Ran to Xu Qingya's house for her studies; she had actually become like a little adult.
