Rebirth of the era of struggle

Chapter 219 Lu Yang is a Good Man
Look in the direction Lin Yuanyuan said.

Song Jia waved to him in the barbecue restaurant, not only Song Jia was there, but also the other two girls in their dormitory, Li Jing and Bai Shengnan.

"This guy is just an errand runner."

Lu Yang glanced at Lin Yuanyuan.

He remembered the last time when Li Zheyuan was there, it was Lin Yuanyuan who came out to guide him. Every dormitory in the university seemed to have a mascot, and Lin Yuanyuan was the mascot of their dormitory.

Lin Yuanyuan noticed Lu Yang's gaze, and said vigilantly, "Look what I'm doing."

"Look at the many pieces of meat."

Lu Yang couldn't help but said.

"Humph."

Lin Yuanyuan said that she was offended.

"Boss, add an extra egg." Seeing that it was his turn to share the fried noodles, Lu Yang ordered, and then said to Lin Yuanyuan: "You go back first, and go over when my fried noodles are ready."

"Then don't forget."

Lin Yuanyuan responded, and ran away quickly, not wanting to stay next to Lu Yang for a moment.

"Am I so annoying?"

Seeing Lin Yuanyuan leave as if fleeing, Lu Yang couldn't help thinking.

The fried noodles were ready in a while, because an egg was added, and the total cost was seven yuan. After paying the money, Lu Yang walked into the restaurant with the fried noodles.

"What would students like to eat?"

The proprietress at the door greeted warmly.

"My friend ordered it."

Lu Yang pointed to Song Jia's table, and then walked over.

The table happened to have four seats, and several girls were all seated. Lu Yang put the fried noodles on the table, then moved a chair over, and sat on the side of the table next to the corridor.

The appetites of the girls looked good, and there was a lot of food on the table.

Li Jing looked at Lu Yang's fried noodles and said, "Do you want to add some more?"

"Forget it, eat less at night."

Break apart the disposable chopsticks given by the fried noodles, Lu Yang said.

"I ordered such a large portion of fried noodles, and said to eat less." Lin Yuanyuan muttered, she was sitting next to Song Jia, she was petite and cute, but she was a bit of a cuddly bird.

"I'm growing my body now, not like you."

Lu Yang took a bite of fried noodles, not to mention, the taste was really good, full of spiciness, as well as bean sprouts and green vegetables, seven yuan a piece is really a bargain.

"What's wrong with me, I'm growing too." Lin Yuanyuan was a little unconvinced.

"You can't grow any longer."

Lu Yang raised his head and glanced at Lin Yuanyuan's majesty.

"Sister Jiajia, he bullied me again."

Lin Yuanyuan could tell that Lu Yang was teasing her.

"I think Lu Yang is right. You have developed so well that you can't grow any longer." Song Jia also said, there are four of them in a dormitory, and Lin Yuanyuan is the youngest and the oldest.

Bai Shengnan and Li Jing also laughed.

Lin Yuanyuan was a little speechless.

They all ganged up to bully her alone.

Looking at Lu Yang who was eating noodles, and Li Jing who was wearing a small suit, he found a topic and said, "Lu Yang, you have opened a new book?"

"Yeah, I wrote another one."

Lu Yang didn't know why Li Jing said this.

Song Jia explained from the side: "We were talking about this just now. We wanted to ask you out, but I didn't expect to meet you at Ximen. Is it my elder sister who wants to discuss something with you?"

"Oh, senior sister, what's the matter?"

Lu Yang glanced at Li Jing.

Li Jing said: "It's like this. My uncle is the deputy editor-in-chief of a publishing house. The market is not good recently, and the publications cannot make money. He is very worried, so he wants to try publishing online novels."

"Sister, are you interested in my novel?"

Lu Yang said in surprise.

Having said all this, Lu Yang also guessed what Li Jing meant.

It is not easy to publish web articles in simplified Chinese, which is equivalent to a status symbol.

Internet literature is still Internet literature after all. Although the public likes to hear it, its status is still not high. Sometimes the authors of Internet literature dare not think of themselves as writers. They usually call themselves Internet writers. People are called great writers, but they still think that others are mocking themselves.

But it's different with publications, at least there are things that can be obtained. Lu Yang's last book was only published in traditional Chinese.

If he had the opportunity to publish in simplified form in his previous life, he would definitely be overjoyed, but now, Lu Yang has seen it very plainly. Other publishers contacted him, besides, do you worry about publishing if you have money?Find out at your own expense.

Li Jing didn't beat around the bush either.

She said: "Song Jia said your new book is very good-looking, and I read it too. I feel that the story is very good, very attractive, and the writing is beautiful. I think, if possible, try to publish some in my uncle's publishing house. , can be regarded as an attempt.”

This woman is not simple.

Lu Yang glanced at Li Jing.

With the development of the times and the progress of society, traditional paper books can no longer meet everyone's needs. Being able to see this shows that Li Jing has a good vision, at least not comparable to those traditional old scholars.

However, it is impossible for Lu Yang to just agree, even though there is still some friendship between the two.

He put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Senior sister, business is business, to be honest, the publishing fee for my novel is quite expensive."

"You might as well talk about the conditions first." Li Jing thought for a while and said.

Lu Yang said: "In this way, my last book, The Return of Cultivation, was published at a price of 300 characters per thousand characters. The full text was 30 million words and more than 60 volumes were published. It probably gave me more than [-] yuan. Of course, that's because I'm a newcomer. , Now I am a great writer in Qidian, and my reputation is even far higher than that of ordinary great writers. A few days ago, the editor of Xinchang contacted me and wanted the traditional Chinese publishing rights of my new book. The price is about [-] to [-]. Currently Still talking about..."

Hear this price.

Li Jing's eyelids twitched.

I also silently calculated in my heart.

Even if the minimum is 300 thousand words, and the novel is 200 million words, it will cost more than [-] million in publishing fees. In comparison, the price is only high but not low.

This is too expensive.

Lin Yuanyuan also counted with her fingers, but she couldn't figure out a reason. She said in disbelief, "A thousand words and a thousand words mean one yuan per word?"

Glancing at Lin Yuanyuan, Lu Yang said: "You can understand it this way, but it must be more than this in reality. This word is only the price of traditional Chinese publishing, and there are electronic subscriptions. This will definitely make more money than publishing. There are a bunch of copyrights such as comic adaptation rights, audio copyrights, and film adaptation rights that can be sold."

Lin Yuanyuan was a little confused.

This is so much money.

She is still stuck in the thinking of Lu Yang earning 10,000+ a month.

So, how much money does Lu Yang have?
He can't be a millionaire.

Li Jing thought for a moment, and said, "To be honest, it was beyond my expectation. I didn't expect the head of the Internet to make so much money. We really can't afford such an expensive price."

The business of the publishing house was not good in the first place, and it was lucky that it didn't lose money. Although the uncle wanted to change it, he definitely couldn't spend a few million.

She said: "Publishing in simplified Chinese is generally divided into royalties, and rarely a thousand-word buyout."

"I know this."

Although it has never been published in Simplified Chinese, Lu Yang also knows the market.

He said: "The royalties are [-] points. If your uncle can accept it, I can license the publishing rights to you. As for how much to pay, you can decide for yourself, but it's just a license. I won't give you the exclusive copyright. "

Lu Yang's condition is actually very harsh.

Fifteen points is basically the ceiling of publishing royalties, and top-tier best-selling authors can only get this ratio. In addition, it is non-exclusive authorization, which also allows him to firmly grasp the initiative.

"Royalties are negotiable, but not exclusive..."

Li Jing was a little embarrassed.

Lu Yang said: "This is also to avoid risks. After all, I don't know much about your uncle's publishing house. What if you get the copyright and publish thousands of copies? I'm not very passive, I can guarantee that, If your publishing house publishes normally, I will not authorize the second one."

Li Jing nodded, he still believed in Lu Yang.

She was very accurate at seeing people, and knew that Lu Yang was not the kind of person who would not keep his promises, let alone saying this in front of Song Jia.

This can be discussed, as long as the uncle is persuaded.

Li Jing said: "Royalties..."

Lu Yang interrupted him: "20 royalties is my bottom line. If it is less, it is better not to publish. However, there is another way for you to choose, and that is to count according to the sales volume. If the sales volume is less than 15.00 copies, we will I can accept 20% royalties, if it is higher than 20.00 but lower than [-], then follow our [-]%; if it is higher than [-] copies, I will ask for [-]% royalties... You can choose between these two one."

"Are you so confident?"

Li Jing was a little surprised.

According to the current publishing market, if more than 20 copies are sold, it is considered a bestseller, and if more than 20 copies are sold, it is considered a very bestseller. Books may not be able to produce many books in a year.

Li Jing has published seven or eight books, all of which are short stories written by her. She is somewhat well-known in traditional reading materials. Her best book only sold [-] copies.

Barely exceeding [-] volumes, this is already his best result.

And from Lu Yang's tone, it seemed that he was aiming at 20 volumes.

"I still have this confidence."

Lu Yang smiled, but he didn't explain anything.

There is no need to throw out your hole cards, no matter which one they choose, Lu Yang will not suffer because the initiative is in his hands.

Li Jing didn't agree right away. After all, it's not her publishing house, and she needs to discuss it with her uncle before making a decision. Lu Yang is not in a hurry. This is just going along with the flow. Even if the negotiation fails, when his novel has more words, Naturally, other publishers will come to find me.

Lu Yang still has this confidence.

After eating a bowl of fried noodles and a few skewers, Lu Yang felt that he was already full. He lacked exercise these days, and there was too much oil and water, so his appetite seemed to be reduced.

For the rest, Bai Shengnan asked the boss for a bag, packed them all and took them home.

It's past ten o'clock, and the dormitory should be locked if you don't go back.

After going out, Lu Yang said.

"Be careful on the way, I won't go back."

Song Jia was a little surprised: "Why don't you go back to school?"

"Isn't it because I want to find the woman on the little card?" Lin Yuanyuan said with contempt.

"What little card?"

Lu Yang didn't realize that he had lost the small card at all.

"Tch, are you still pretending?"

Lin Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and said to Song Jia: "Sister Jiajia, let me just say that he is a scumbag. We saw the card fall out of his pocket with our own eyes, and now he still says that he doesn't know... "

"Lin Yuanyuan, stop talking nonsense."

Song Jia made a gesture to hit someone.

Lin Yuanyuan quickly hid behind Bai Shengnan.

Lu Yang just remembered that it seemed to be the case. He glanced at Lin Yuanyuan and found that Lin Yuanyuan was sticking out her tongue at him. Lu Yang said speechlessly: "I probably know why Lin Yuanyuan targeted me. I'm a good person, okay? That card was stuffed to me at the train station, and I put it in my pocket when there was nowhere to throw it, but Lin Yuanyuan picked it up."

This explanation is obviously more convincing than what Lin Yuanyuan said.

"Let me just say, Lu Yang is a great writer anyway, how could he find the woman on the little card, he is so rich and handsome, he can't pursue any kind of beauties."

Li Jing said with a smile.

Bai Shengnan also suddenly realized that it was just a misunderstanding that Lin Yuanyuan kept talking about the small card.

"Stupid Lin Yuanyuan, don't even think about it. With Jiajia here, how could Lu Yang fall in love with that kind of woman?" Bai Shengnan grabbed Lin Yuanyuan from behind.

"Maybe he just wants to change his taste." Lin Yuanyuan argued.

"You still say it! Apologize to Lu Yang!" Bai Shengnan has a sense of justice, Lu Yang is a good person, but Lin Yuanyuan keeps slandering him, and an apology is justified!

"No, no..."

Lin Yuanyuan shook her head.

She said excitedly: "You...you were all deceived by him. "

"Lin Yuanyuan, you..."

"Forget it."

Lu Yang waved his hand to signal that he didn't care, glanced at Lin Yuanyuan, and said, "Lin Yuanyuan should be so cautious, you are all so beautiful, what if you encounter bad people? It's good to be careful, Lin Yuanyuan is also kind, Just did something bad."

"You did something bad."

Lin Yuanyuan didn't appreciate it.

She didn't believe Lu Yang's words at all, even if the card was misunderstood, she had seen Lu Yang go to the teaching building hand in hand with other women, and saw two beautiful girls getting into Lu Yang's car, Lu Yang was [-]% One hundred is a scumbag.

"Lin Yuanyuan, Lu Yang said he didn't care, and you still said... sooner or later, someone will teach you a lesson." Bai Shengnan said angrily.

Lu Yang is such a nice person.

He is gentle and elegant, handsome and rich, but the key is that he has such a good personality. Lin Yuanyuan is so willful, he is not angry at all, if Song Jia hadn't taken the lead, she would have wanted to chase after her.

"Then why don't you go back to school?"

Song Jia asked.

Lu Yang glanced at the neighborhood opposite, and said, "I bought a house in Evergrande Huating, and I often sleep outside, and it's so late today, I don't want to go back."

"That's it."

Song Jia nodded.

With so much money earned by Lu Yang, it is not uncommon for him to buy a house.

"Then I'll go first, bye."

Lu Yang beckoned.

"Goodbye." Besides Lin Yuanyuan, the three girls also waved.

Seeing Lu Yang walking across the road, talking and laughing with the security guard at the gate of the community, and then entering the community, the girls knew that Lu Yang was not lying.

On the way back to school, Li Jing glanced at Lin Yuanyuan who was sticking next to Song Jia

Suddenly speaking.

"Yuanyuan, do you like Song Jia?"

"Ah, big sister, what are you talking about?"

Lin Yuanyuan was dumbfounded.

Her face was flushed, and she felt dizzy all over.
