Chapter 1362: Chapter 1362: We’ll Be the Ones to Protect Them

Aurelia raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

For some reason, Stephen felt a chill run down his spine at her expression, making his scalp tingle.

"Let’s talk about the copyright fee."

The mention of copyright fees sounded like a death sentence to Stephen, giving him a bad feeling.

Stephen hadn’t dealt with Aurelia before, but he thought all Easterners were easy to fool.

People from Country Z would be eager for their shows to air in M Nation, and a bit of money would easily settle it.

Stephen waved his hand generously, "Name your price; I’m not short on money."

Aurelia smiled quietly, "Ten million US Dollars."

"Okay... what?!" Stephen’s mouth dropped open in disbelief.

Oh my goodness! Is this Eastern woman crazy? Asking him for a ten million US Dollar copyright fee.

Aurelia observed the stunned expression on Stephen’s face, "What’s wrong? Do you find it difficult? Well, if you really can’t come up with that, I can lower the copyright fee a bit."

Stephen’s face turned dark and ugly.

If she kept asking for such an exorbitant price, he could have thrown this greedy Eastern woman out, but she was implying he couldn’t afford it.

Dammit, even knowing this Eastern woman was setting him up, if he said he couldn’t pay, he’d be a laughingstock.

Stephen felt overwhelmed.

Aren’t Easterners supposed to be easy to fool? Why is this Eastern woman so cunning?

"Stephen, how about we just drop it?" Aurelia raised an eyebrow.

Stephen’s veins throbbed as he gritted his teeth, "Fine!"

The secretary beside him gasped, was the CEO insane? He actually agreed! That’s ten million US Dollars!

Stephen instructed his secretary to draft the contract, while Aurelia left the office.

She opened her phone and saw Stephen’s tweet announcing that "World" would be airing in M Nation.

Spending ten million US Dollars for broadcast rights, Stephen would now surely promote "World" tirelessly.

Amanda Fuller hurriedly approached Aurelia when she returned, "Aurelia, is what Stephen said true?"

"Yes, we just finalized it."

"The contract isn’t signed yet? ... Stephen announced so early, what if there are changes, will it affect ’World’?" Amanda was worried.

Foster Fuller looked at his naive sister; though talented, she lacked experience, and a businessman’s mind tended to obscure many interests.

"No, Stephen’s plan is shrewd. With the current hype around ’World’, no other series has ever aired in Country Z and simultaneously in M Nation. This sets a precedent, and Stephen wants to be the first in this precedent. Additionally, ’World’ will bring him a wave of profits."

Foster Fuller gently patted his sister’s head.

"Never underestimate a businessman’s mind; they won’t miss any opportunity to make money and will squeeze the last drop of blood from the audience."

"But... isn’t this exploiting the audience?" Amanda Fuller pursed her lips, still unable to accept such things.

"Ah, my silly sister, in a businessman’s eyes, this doesn’t exist. If you feel for them, then it’s up to us to protect them."

Amanda Fuller looked confused.

Foster Fuller smiled indulgently, "Aurelia only sold the broadcast rights, and if they’re not permanent, it means if Stephen does something excessive, she can always retrieve them."
