Looking back on 2009

Chapter 22 Publishers

three days later.

For Liu Chengan, it was three long days.

Every time he thought of a call, he would answer it immediately, for fear of missing any call that might be from the publishing house.

This anticipation made him a little restless and worried about gains and losses.Even his father noticed the abnormality, and comforted him not to worry, the number one scholar in liberal arts can go to Qingbei no matter what.

It really made his father guess right, and he actually received a call from the Admissions Office of Tsinghua University.

However, this was not what he was expecting. After politely rejecting the other party, he was still disappointed for a while.

Fortunately, he was not made to wait in vain, and soon several publishing houses came to him.According to what Chen Zhihe taught him, he didn't refuse or agree, but just asked the other party to give him the contact information, and he would come to have a personal talk later.

After receiving the call, Liu Chengan immediately contacted Chen Zhihe.

After listing the names of several publishing houses, Chen Zhihe carefully analyzed them.

First of all, professional publishing houses are excluded. They are rich and powerful, and they can eat enough textbooks and other books. They are not bad for these three melons and two dates. There is no room for bargaining, and the process is still slow.

Secondly, excluding small private publishing houses, the distribution ability is not good, and the channels are limited, so it is difficult to operate the works into bestsellers.

In the end, there are only large and medium-sized publishers mainly engaged in teaching supplementary books, and they each have their own advantages and disadvantages.Big ones may not be willing to cooperate with you. There is no shortage of excellent books, and you have to guard against the big ones bullying the small ones, but they have first-class operational capabilities; medium-sized ones are actually the most suitable, but they have excellent publications and specialize in a single field.

Such an analysis, there are not many.

Together with Liu Cheng'an, Chen Zhihe chose Education E Education Publishing House, Jiangcheng Children's Publishing House and Social Publishing House.

……

the next day.

The two meet.

Chen Zhihe specially bought a dark striped polo shirt, and changed it into khaki shorts and leather slippers, so that he would not look too young.

After meeting, the two decided to visit one by one according to the distance.

The first thing I went to was the Provincial Education Publishing House.

After entering, the security at the door stopped them and refused to let them in. Liu Cheng'an had to call the person who contacted him to confirm.

There was no other way, Liu Chengan could only call the other party.

After a while, the other party went downstairs, and after introducing each other, the three walked into the building of the publishing house.

The person who led them in was an editor. He contacted Liu Cheng'an after seeing the news in the newspaper.

After entering, the editor took them to a reception room.After a while, a middle-aged man in a white shirt with a beer belly walked in.

Sitting down, he looked at Chen Zhihe and Liu Chengan.

"Hello, this is Mr. Huang who is in charge of the teaching and supplementary books business of our agency." The editor introduced the two of them, and then said to Mr. Huang: "This is Liu Chengan, the champion of liberal arts in our province this year, and this is his representative." elder brother."

Chen Zhihe pulled Liu Chengan to stand up, walked towards Mr. Huang, and shook hands.

"Young and promising, I wonder if you have brought any materials?" Mr. Huang was not polite, and went straight to the point.

Chen Zhihe took out the materials from his bag and handed them to the editor at the side, who then handed them to Mr. Huang.

Mr. Huang turned around for about 3 minutes, raised his head, looked at Chen Zhihe and the others and said, "This kind of information is new, but I don't know if there is a market for it."

Chen Zhihe explained: "I have also taken the college entrance examination for a few years. I think this information is very valuable, and it is definitely unique in the market. It is different from the test questions, and there are many kinds. For students, it can be The burden on the students is reduced, so that they will not be overwhelmed. Second, it marks the key points, is targeted, and the learning efficiency is very high. The most important thing is that the knowledge is systematic, and it is easier to understand and integrate.”

After hearing Chen Zhihe's words, Mr. Huang was noncommittal, and replied: "Freshness is freshness. The specific effect depends on the market. What we say doesn't count. In this way, we take some risks ourselves, which can be regarded as supporting us." Zhuangyuan Lang. What do you think of the buyout price and the buyout price of 10 yuan?"

Liu Chengan was a little excited, but Chen Zhihe complained silently in his heart.

10 yuan?He hadn't researched how high the profit of the supplementary materials was, but he could just listen to what he said to support Zhuangyuan Lang. How could it be possible to make a loss-making business?Moreover, a buyout is impossible, and he is confident in his results.

"Thank you very much for your support to my cousin. We have also visited other publishing houses before, and 10 yuan is indeed lower than our psychological price. Some of them asked for 30 yuan. Moreover, we do not consider buying out, I don't know if you think about paying royalties for cooperation?" Chen Zhihe said nonsense without changing his face.

"30? How is that possible? Which idiot from a publishing house paid the price, tell me? The way of royalties is impossible. Although your cousin is a top scorer in the college entrance examination, it is indeed a selling point, but he is a newcomer after all. We don't have such a precedent." After listening to Chen Zhihe's words, Mr. Huang shook his head and sneered.

"Which publishing house, it is not convenient for us to disclose. If you have no other plan, then we can only say that it is a pity." Chen Zhihe has already refused to pass this publishing house, obviously not sincere, bullying their youth Woolen cloth.

"Then you can find that publishing house, anyway, we can only offer such a condition here." Mr. Huang didn't care, and looked at his watch after speaking.

Chen Zhihe got up and said, "Business is not a matter of benevolence and righteousness. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate next time."

After finishing speaking, he dragged Liu Chengan, who was hesitant to speak, away.

After leaving the publishing house, Liu Cheng'an said urgently, "10 yuan, why didn't you agree?"

Thinking that he might be able to get 3 yuan immediately, he just wanted to agree on the spot. His mother probably won't be able to make so much money by doing odd jobs for a year.

Chen Zhihe glanced at Liu Cheng'an, and said, "What's the hurry, this is the first one, let's at least compare it. Besides, the other publishing house is here, and we'll just come back when it's over. Anyway, we have plenty of time. "

He sighed silently. After all, his background was too low to see a lot of money.Chen Zhihe thought back to when he first came out of society, why wasn't he like this?
Sometimes, being poor doesn't just mean having no money, but also vision.

Pulling Liu Chengan, who was still a little frustrated, Chen Zhihe hurried to the next publishing house.

The second is Jiangcheng Children's Publishing House. Its attitude is similar to that of the Provincial Education Publishing House. It is only willing to buy out, and does not agree to pay royalties, but the price is twice as high as the former.

Liu Chengan calmed down at this moment.He could see that these publishing houses were actually very optimistic about this material and his name as the provincial number one scholar.

It's just that the other party sees them as young and bullies them for not understanding.

Then there is the last one left.

The two of them, who had probably figured out the routine, came to the Society Publishing House in a leisurely manner.

With experience, Liu Chengan called the other party in advance.

It was already 12 noon when they arrived.

Under the building, there stood a middle-aged woman in professional attire and a girl who looked like a student. They were so far away that they couldn't be seen clearly.

Seeing the two coming, the middle-aged woman hurriedly greeted them.

After introducing each other, the other party is the vice president of the society publishing house, surnamed Li Mingwan, and the girl is her daughter, who is about to be a senior in high school.

Because it was time for dinner, Li Wan invited them to have lunch together, planning to talk while eating.

Li Yan led the way, and the four walked into a home-cooked restaurant in the alley next to the publishing house.

After sitting down, Li Wan handed the menu to Liu Chengan.

"Xiao Liu, Xiao Chen, what kind of food do you like to eat? Order whatever you want, don't be polite." Li Wan greeted with a smile on her face.

It might be the first time for Liu Chengan to encounter such an occasion, he was a little nervous, he didn't know what to say.

Chen Zhihe replied: "President Li, you are being polite. I have caused you trouble by visiting you at this hour. We are all from Hubei Province, so we don't have to eat." After speaking, he kicked Liu Chengan with his leg.

Liu Cheng'an quickly replied: "Yes, yes, yes, President Li, I don't have any taboos. You can order whatever you want, and I can do it." After speaking, he handed the menu to the other party.

Seeing this, the girl sitting opposite smiled softly.

"Don't call me the president, just call me Auntie Li. My daughter is about the same age as you. Aunty invited you to dinner today, and it's not just for business. We'll talk while eating." Li Wan glared at her daughter , looked at Chen Zhihe and Chen Zhihe and smiled.

Private matter?

Chen Zhihe murmured in his heart, he couldn't be the one who caught the son-in-law.

I glanced at the girl opposite, wearing a white dress, with short hair at the ears, pure and lovely.

Chen Zhihe thought in his heart, it's not enough, it's just too big, it's too anxious.
