The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

Ruan Mianmian asked with a smile, "Our Quju (a type of traditional Chinese dress) requires the hair to be styled into a bun and adorned with jewelry. Do you need that?"

"Is it necessary? Why isn't it in the show?" Zhang Chuang looked at Ruan Mianmian with even more suspicion.

Tang You explained from the side: "In the plot design, the female lead, Si Yuan, assassinates Xu Xuanzhi with a dagger while she's sleeping, so she doesn't have any jewelry on her head. Outside of sleep, all women must have their hair styled in a bun and wear headdresses. Only with a bun and headdresses is her flowing robe complete. And these will appear later in the series, and they'll be part of the female lead's career!"

A cleavage?!

That would definitely be described in great detail and vividly!

Zhang Chuang swallowed hard, suppressing his excitement, and asked calmly, "Will it be beautiful? Will it really be attractive?"

You have to pretend you don't care, otherwise it'll be hard to negotiate a lower price!

"It will be much prettier and more attractive!" Ruan Mianmian and Tang You said in unison. Tang You continued, "Moreover, as the female lead's storyline of building her wealth, just think how much screen time will it take? This is double the amount of product placement!"

Zhang Chuang was even more tempted.

This is a wildly popular TV series across the entire league. If it appears as a career storyline in this show, how terrifying would the advertising effect be?

He suppressed his excitement, pretended to hesitate and think, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just like clothing, the copyright fee for one style is ten million universe coins."

Tang You smiled and nodded: "No problem. However, since this part will be emphasized later, Mr. Zhang, you'll need to make up for the product placement fee. We have a cooperative relationship, so we can charge a little less for the product placement fee. One hundred million, is that alright?"

What a big problem!

Zhang Chuang was furious: "These are scenes that have already been filmed in your show. They're necessary for the plot. How can you ask me for product placement fees?"

Professor Zhao sighed and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you believe it or not, even if we spread the word, there would be plenty of people scrambling to buy it for 2 million? We're in a cooperative relationship right now, which is why we're giving you priority. And it's precisely because of this cooperative relationship that we're only charging 1 million!"

Zhang Chuang was so angry that he was trembling all over.

But he couldn't refuse.

Because he knew very well that if the news were to spread, many people would rush to grab the money.

He only managed to get the cooperation now because he seized the initiative.

After a long pause, Zhang Chuang gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, you win. Sign the contract." He didn't want to say another word to them; if he did, he'd be ripped off.

They're all unscrupulous merchants!

Tang You smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't be in such a hurry. We have many styles of hairpins, hair ornaments, hair sticks, as well as headbands, hairpins, hair ornaments, hairpins, hairpins... Do you want one style of each, or more than three styles of each?"

Zhang Chuang stared in disbelief, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "You guys are swindlers! What kind of country bumpkins are you from? You're all lying!"

Ruan Mianmian, Tang You, and Professor Zhao all wore upright expressions: "We conduct business normally, and we treat everyone fairly, young and old!"

Then, Ruan Mianmian asked again, "Mr. Zhang, do you want to buy it?"

Professor Zhao smiled knowingly, "Mr. Zhang, don't put on that smug look of being cheated. Once you develop these pieces, the money you'll make won't be just ten million universe coins; it'll be at least tens of billions. You should know that our Blue Star civilization is currently incredibly popular throughout the entire Federation!"

Zhang Chuang had nothing to say and finally decided to buy three styles of each headdress. He also bought three styles of the bracelet and jade pendant that Tang You had recommended, spending 3 million universe coins.

Ruan Mianmian sighed softly, "Selling so many jewelry designs and copyrights only brought in 3 million universe coins. Mr. Zhang, you'd earn more than that just from selling one type, right? How about we adopt a revenue-sharing model?"

Zhang Chuang said sternly, "We never use a profit-sharing model in our collaborations. Come on, let's sign the contract. I have something to do tonight and need to get there."

I absolutely cannot talk to them anymore, otherwise I'll just have to spend more money!

Soon, Ruan Mianmian signed her name on the contract, indicating that the cooperation had been completed.

This collaboration generated 200 million RMB from the sale of the copyright and design drawings for the Quju dress, 300 million RMB from the copyright and design drawings for the jewelry, 100 million RMB from product placement, 10 million RMB from Ruan Mianmian's endorsement fee, and 5 million RMB from Tang You's advertising planning, for a total revenue of 615 million RMB.

The money will arrive in your account before you leave work tomorrow.

Ruan Mianmian had already withdrawn 20 billion Cosmic Coins from the Starry Sky Network backend, and seeing more than 6 million Cosmic Coins now still made her quite excited.

Because high-tech products are too expensive.

Every extra penny earned allows me to buy more high-tech products, so even earning a penny is something to be happy about.

After seeing Zhang Chuang out, Professor Zhao stroked his chin and said, "I always feel that we sold it too cheaply."

"There's nothing we can do about it; we just don't have enough time," Ruan Mianmian said.

Tang You comforted her, "It's alright if you look at it from another perspective. All the copyrights here are for 10 years. If we have the opportunity to come back in the future, we can license another batch. That way, we won't feel too bad about it."

“Sigh, you don’t understand.” Professor Zhao waved his hand and sighed. “Back then, we were so poor that the prince came to our house to buy eggs. He was prepared to pay 100 billion dollars, but his price was 80 billion dollars. However, we were too naive and didn’t dare to ask for a price. We only accepted 35 billion dollars and even thought it was too expensive, so we gave him an extra egg.”

How similar things are now compared to back then!

"What's this?" Ruan Mianmian asked, puzzled.

Tang You knew what was going on, so she patted Ruan Mianmian on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Zhao just wanted to say that we're so poor and have never seen the world."

Ruan Mianmian nodded, and seeing that Professor Zhao seemed to be thinking about something and looked quite melancholy, she said, "Uncle Zhao, buy whatever you need quickly. Only when we have it in our hands does it truly belong to us."

"I know. I'll discuss it with Lao Huang and the others, and we'll buy what we can't find through garbage collection, but which is exactly what we need." Professor Zhao finished speaking, then looked at Ruan Mianmian and Tang You, and said in a deep voice.

"Mianmian, Xiaoyou, the money you earned from endorsements and writing advertising plans belongs to you. Buy whatever you want, don't be stingy. You've already made a lot of money for the country. We old folks thank you on behalf of the country."

Ruan Mianmian and Tang You did want to buy a lot of things, but they felt that the country needed more, so they didn't plan to spend their own money. After hearing Professor Zhao's words, they said, "We know how to do it."

They certainly won't buy anything now; they'll decide what to buy before they leave, based on the country's needs.

At this moment, the chubby baby suddenly spoke in Ruan Mianmian's mind: "Mianmian, everything can only be brought back to Blue Star if it is ordered in your name and signed for in your own name. Others can only bring one item back."

"What? There's this requirement too. I'm so glad you told me, baby. I love you so much." After thanking the chubby baby in her mind, Ruan Mianmian immediately told Professor Zhao and Tang You about the rules for buying things.

Professor Zhao's expression hardened: "Luckily you informed us in time, otherwise we would have wasted our money. Here's what we'll do: we'll make a list of orders and add them to your cart, and then you can buy them. It'll just be a bit of a hassle for you, though, since you not only have to film but also sign for the packages."
