Chapter 1222 Young people should come here more often.
May 1, morning.
Su Xing, Jin Wei, and several employees from the Liaoning Provincial Museum's Publicity and Cultural Creativity Department held a meeting to select cultural relic materials and discuss cooperation between the two parties.
Finally, Jin Wei and her team selected sixteen representative cultural relics and asked Su Xing to draw them.
They originally planned to select twelve artifacts, which would be convenient for making desk calendars, wall calendars, and postcards. However, after much deliberation, they found it difficult to part with many of the artifacts, so they ended up selecting a few more.
Jin Wei and her group wanted both a set of detailed illustrations and a set of chibi-style illustrations.
Su Xing certainly wouldn't refuse.
The two parties then began to discuss the price and the number of licensed images per image.
Su Xing now has nearly 20 million followers on Weibo and her reputation in the industry is growing. Her painting skills are also constantly improving, so her prices will definitely increase.
However, considering her popularity and professional skills, the increase is not exaggerated.
This time, she quoted 150,000 yuan per image for the detailed version, which would be licensed to five cultural and creative products; the Q version was 100,000 yuan per image, which would also be licensed to five cultural and creative products.
It totaled exactly four million.
Furthermore, the specific products that Liaoning Museum will produce must be detailed in the contract.
It will be an exclusive licensing agreement, not a buyout agreement.
Jin Wei and the others agreed to Su Xing's offer without much hesitation.
First, people from Liaoning Province are straightforward and efficient in their work.
Secondly, they know all too well the value of Su Xing's number of fans.
They sought to collaborate with her not only because of her painting skills, but also because of her influence.
Once the product is launched, she can promote it on Weibo. If it's calculated as advertising, it would cost a lot of money.
As for a buyout, they never even considered it, because they knew Su Xing would never agree to it.
Jin Wei formally requested that Su Xing promote the matter on Weibo and that it be included in the contract.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Su Xing, but rather that when discussing cooperation, it had to be done according to the standards of negotiation, and all promises made by both parties had to be written into the contract to be valid.
Su Xing said, "That's no problem."
Basically, all the clients who want to work with her have this kind of requirement. She's used to it and doesn't reject it.
Jin Wei said, "Okay, let's do it this way and sign the contract now."
Su Xing smiled and nodded, "Sure."
She had a contract template on her computer; she just needed to change a few details.
After both parties confirmed that there were no problems, Xiao Wang went to print out two copies of the contract.
Both parties signed and affixed their seals.
Su Xing and Jin Wei stood up and shook hands.
"Happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
Throughout the entire process, He Xu sat on the side drinking tea and acting as a clapper.
His girlfriend was very adept at negotiating contracts, and he didn't need to say a word at all.
Besides, this is her own business, and he doesn't need to interfere too much.
Jin Wei checked the time and said, "It's noon. Let's go eat."
Everyone left the museum and headed to the hotel.
During the meal, Jin Wei asked Su Xing, "Ms. Su, Mr. He, would you like to stay in Fengtian for a couple more days? We have scenic spots like the Fengtian Imperial Palace and Beiling Park, which are all worth visiting, and there are also some ski resorts to enjoy."
Su Xing said, "My maternal grandparents live in Xingcheng, Huludao. We plan to visit them during our trip to Liaoning Province, so we won't stay in Fengtian for long."
He Xu also said, "Next time we have the chance to come to Fengtian, we will definitely explore more and get to know this city better."
A staff member from the cultural and creative department said, "Oh dear, Miss Su is also half a Liaoning Province native."
Su Xing smiled and said, "We are all one family in the three northeastern provinces."
"Haha, you're right!"
When Jin Wei and the others heard that Su Xing was going to Xingcheng, they didn't try to stop her and He Xu.
After lunch, Jin Wei and Xiao Wang escorted Su Xing and He Xu back to their hotel.
The two checked out, but left their two suitcases at the hotel reception for the time being.
Jin Wei asked them, "Miss Su, Mr. He, what time is your train?"
He Xu said, "Our train is at night."
Su Xing said, "Yes, we plan to go for a walk this afternoon."
Jin Wei immediately said, "Then Xiao Wang and I will accompany you. Are you going to buy gifts for the elderly? Or is there anywhere you'd like to go?"
"No need, no need," Su Xing refused. "We can just stroll around by ourselves. Director Jin, you should go back and get back to your business."
Jin Wei hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then we'll take you to the station later?"
He Xu said, "Really, there's no need. We can just take a taxi ourselves; it's very convenient."
Seeing this, Jin Wei and Xiao Wang stopped trying to persuade them.
Perhaps the young couple had some plans that made it inconvenient for them to follow along.
"Alright, Miss Su, if you ever come to Fengtian again, please be sure to call me."
"Okay, I will."
After exchanging a few polite words, the group said their goodbyes.
Jin Wei and Xiao Wang drove away.
Su Xing and He Xu did indeed have another operation planned for the afternoon.
They were all dressed very simply today.
After leaving the hotel, they hailed a taxi.
As soon as the two got in the car, the driver asked them warmly, "Hey bro, sis, where are we going?"
He Xu said, "Hello, Master, we're going to the September 18th History Museum."
The driver picked up a handsome young man and a beautiful young woman as passengers, and he originally wanted to chat with them a bit more.
As a result, when He Xu announced the destination, he hesitated for a moment and his expression became serious.
"The September 18th Museum? Okay, young man, you should visit there more often and learn more about that period of history."
The driver started the car.
The three people in the car remained silent the entire way until they arrived at the "September 18th History Museum".
He Xu glanced at the meter and prepared to swipe his fare.
The driver said, "Oh, no need, it's not far, you should go in quickly."
“That won’t do,” Su Xing said. “You earn your money through hard work, it’s not easy for you.”
The driver said, "Oh, it's only a little over four kilometers, just a quick step on the gas."
He Xu didn't say much and simply scanned the fare for the driver.
The two got out of the car.
"Master, please jog more often."
"Oh my! Thanks!"
Su Xing and He Xu walked together toward the entrance of the museum.
It got colder in Fengtian today; the white breath they exhaled dissipated as soon as it reached our eyes.
They walked to the entrance of the September 18th History Museum and saw a thin layer of snow on the Broken Calendar Monument.
The date 1931.9.18 stands out against the leaden sky. The dark red "bloodstains" in the dents of the monument resemble frozen wounds, creating a stark contrast with the surrounding white snow. Even the sound of the warning bell carried by the wind is more chilling than usual.
The two swiped their ID cards and entered the museum.
The warm air, carrying the musty smell of paper, wafted over, creating a stark contrast with the frigid outside.
Both of them walked with heavy steps and serious expressions as they began to carefully tour the "September 18th" History Museum.
