Chapter 103 103. Signing the Contract (Thanks to Little Penguin LXWH for the 100-point reward)
Thinking of this, he didn't continue to play tricks, and directly picked up the cowhide bag next to him and handed it to Yu Qi.

After receiving it, the other party disregarded everything else, opened it directly, and the first thing they saw was the name of the new book.

""And There Were None"? Just looking at the name makes me want to read it."

First he sighed in admiration, and then began to read line by line. Gu Cheng originally wanted to continue chatting, but Yu Qi had already put his heart and soul into it, so he could only shake his head helplessly, and poured tea by himself, sip by sip tasting.

"Good book, it's really hearty to read."

After Yu Qi finished reading the first half, a long time had passed. He first moved his body that had been in one posture for a long time, twisted his lower neck, and made the sound of bones rubbing, then stood up and looked around for Gu Cheng. figure.

"I'm really sorry, I'm really fascinated by watching it, you should wait a little longer,"

Yu Qi said with an apologetic face, while Gu Cheng held up the book in his hand. It goes without saying that he did not do nothing during this waiting time. He got up halfway and looked at the desk On the bookshelf at the back, I found a lone book describing the ancient vassal kings from above.

"Okay. Let's talk about publishing, Cheng Zi. Please let our publishing house publish this book, and we will give you the most favorable terms."

Yu Qi straightened his face. According to his experience, this book is completely comparable to the previous Dongfang, and it also takes into account the storyline, which is more logical. One of the dark nursery rhymes of a young Miao boy , it made him shiver a little now.

"Ten young Hmong boys, running around for food;

One can't be saved if he chokes to death, and only nine out of ten remain.

Nine little Hmong boys, sleepless late at night, really sleepy;
I fell asleep and fell asleep, and there were only eight of the nine. "

He can already imagine how popular this nursery rhyme will become after the book is released, and the novel's perspective and description are also very peculiar, and I believe it will become a fragment of mystery novels and even horror novels vying to imitate in the future.

And the current situation is that the other party already has a successful work, the film and television adaptation is also in full swing, and the reputation has already been established in the industry. I believe that outside this door, there are endless publishing houses that want to sign new works. And Haohan Publishing House does not seem to have any competitiveness.

Gu Cheng was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Yu Qi to directly reveal his hole cards, which really made him not know how to reply. According to his thinking, he thought that he would push and pull on the share.

Before coming, I had already prepared for the verbal sword.

"Brother, I don't know what to do with you like this."

Gu Cheng smiled bitterly. There are reasons why he continued to choose Haohan Publishing House. First, the previous cooperation was very harmonious, and the other party gave him a generous share of the reprint. , but the previous reputation is still there, but the resources of writers are not available for a while.

And my behavior at this time is just sending carbon in the snow, and I can get the gratitude of the other party. The publishing house's relationship network and network in the Chinese literary circle are still very deep, which will help me in the future awards.

Moreover, other publishing houses have their own promotion of popular writers. If they join, they will condescend to others and enjoy the resources left by others. This is something Gu Cheng can't stand.

"How about it, Junior Brother, the share of the best-selling author in the industry is 32%, we definitely can't give that much, because the other party is a veteran who has been working in this industry for many years, and has many works and awards, If we give so much, it will break the market balance and will be attacked by the industry."

"The highest share we can give is 23%, and then every time it is published, we will add 3%, with a cap of 50%. We guarantee that the initial print will be more than one million copies."

Yu Qi said the maximum authority he can give, mainly because Gu Cheng's rise is too fast, and he hasn't won some related awards. This industry is quite similar to actors, and they all have related awards. A wave of salary increases.

"Of course, in return, we will also pour resources into other places. For the literary awards at the end of the year, the best newcomer and the annual cutting-edge works, the publishing house will use all its channels to help you public relations. There is an 80% possibility of winning the prize. Down."

Although he could guarantee it in his heart, no one knew if there would be any accidents, so when he promised, he restrained himself a little.

Gu Cheng pondered for a while. Indeed, this is only his second book. No matter how optimistic the outside world is, he will not easily give a high share. After all, this circle is here. If you want to climb up, you still need to take one step at a time. Only by accumulating your own background can you take advantage of the trend.

As for the awards that Yu Qi promised, he was also very moved. Now that he has entered this industry, he must go to the top. Awards are the most powerful support point. He is also a common man, so he can't ignore these fame and fortune.

"Okay, brother, on this condition, let's sign a contract. I hope our cooperation is still as pleasant this time."

Gu Cheng stretched out his palm and smiled at Yu Qi.

"This is really great, Orange, I know that you may have lost some interest, and I will help you apply on the board of directors. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Haohan Publishing House still has ample foundation. "

After finishing speaking, he blinked his eyes at Gu Cheng. Some words are self-evident. For writers, sales volume is very important, but there are other resources that are also indispensable. Gu Cheng chose this publishing house , the big reason is because of this.

Yu Qi acted resolutely, and directly dialed the phone number in his office. The assistant quickly drafted the basic contract and took it in.

"Look, if there is anything that needs to be modified, everything can be discussed."

Gu Cheng looked at the contract in his hand, and it was basically the same as the previous contract. It only included the royalties, the conditions for reprinting, and the commitment of the publisher to invest in publicity resources. There was no trap in the contract. , Gu Cheng readily picked up a pen from the side and signed his name.

"Okay, I will arrange the proofreading, typesetting, and initial finalization issues as soon as possible. If there is anything, let's call directly. Let's go out for dinner together now?"

After accepting the contract, Yu Qi was in a particularly happy mood. His next quarter's performance has been completed. I believe that he will also receive great praise from the board of directors. The issue of shares will be solved very easily, so he is in a good mood Then, an invitation was sent to Gu Cheng.
