Reborn to be a scholar and a copywriter to buy a house nationwide

Chapter 49 Publishers

When Zhao Liang saw the chats in the group, his heart was half relieved.

At school in the afternoon, Sun Chao took the call.

"I just read the comment section today, have you attended class yet?"

"I haven't had class yet, what's the matter?"

In fact, Sun Chao has already attended class now, but he is a little bored, and thinks that he might as well go out and answer the phone to kill time.

Sun Chao walked to the playground from the back door with his mobile phone.

"Today, two publishing houses contacted us, wanting to publish "Why Shengxiaomo". Today I called and chatted with all three publishing houses."

"One is the Huaxia Publishing House that published your novel "Tomb Raider Notes 1"."

"The other two are Literary Publishing House and Book Paradise Publishing House, which are as famous as Huaxia Publishing House."

"In the beginning, only Huaxia Publishing House contacted us. In the past two days, Literary Publishing House and Book Heaven have also contacted us, and they are wrangling with them."

"This time the literary publishing house is more sincere."

"As soon as you open your mouth, you get a [-]% share, but Huaxia Publishing House only gives you an [-]% share."

Sun Chao thought for a while and said, "It's okay for the three publishing houses to publish 12.00% or [-]% if they can't, and whoever publishes higher will publish it."

"The next "Tomb Raider Notes 2" will be published to whoever reaches 15.00% or 15.00th. [-]% is probably the highest. As long as there are no problems, I can always cooperate with this publishing house. I don’t like to argue. If you want to cooperate, just be quick."

Sun Chao went on to say: "From the perspective of outsiders [Mouse] is still a newcomer, the highest 12.00% share is already very good."

"Just negotiate with them according to the terms of "Tomb Raider Notes 1".

"But I don't know if I can talk about fifteen points in the follow-up. Let's see when the time comes."

"Then I'll confirm the contract and tell you in advance, and I'll go find you to sign it."

Of course Sun Chao would be happy for Zhao Liang to make a trip, so that he would not have to ask for leave: "Okay, then I will trouble Brother Zhao to make another trip."

"Okay, then I'll talk to them."

"Ten percent shouldn't be difficult. The grades of this book are very good, second only to "Tomb Raider Notes 1." Zhao Liang said.

Sun Chao said with emotion: "Females still make money!"

Zhao Liang: "..."

In fact, Zhao Liang was willing to run over to ask Sun Chao to sign. First, he could understand that Sun Chao couldn't ask for leave in his third year of high school.

The second point is that he is afraid that other websites will have eyeliner at the starting point. If Sun Chao is poached, he will not be able to find a place to cry.

Just now Sun Chao said that whoever has the highest price will sign the contract. What if there is a website that offers a high price to poach Sun Chao!
The best way is to prevent them from finding Sun Chao.

"Then I contacted the publishing house, and "Tomb Raider Notes 1" should be taken off the shelves recently. These days, there are only a few thousand copies a day. The reason why it has not been taken off the shelves is because the publishing house wants to break through 400 million copies."

"Now congratulations in advance, the share has earned nearly ten million."

"Thank you, you are here, I invite you to dinner."

When Zhao Liang returned to the office, he called the two publishers and told them directly about the division.

Literary Publishing House

Literary Publishing House and Huaxia Publishing House are one of the most well-known major publishing houses. Literary Publishing House and Huaxia Publishing House are two of the same reputation.

The president and the head of the publishing department drank tea in the exclusive lounge and chatted about the publishing income of "Why Shengxiaomo".

The president is a woman in her forties, named Yao Lihua, and the director of the publishing department is named Wang Hui in her early thirties.

"Just received a call from the editor who is in charge of [Mouse] from Qidian, and the other party said that the author directly asked for twelve points."

What is your quotation?

President Yao Lihua asked.

"We directly gave ten points here, because we got inside information that both Huaxia and Shutiantang Publishing House gave eight points. If we want to grab the publishing rights ahead of Huaxia Publishing House, we have to quote more than that." They are tall." Wang Hui, director of the distribution department, replied.

"Do you think there will be a share of twelve points?"

"Not sure," Wang Hui said.

"If Xu Chang, their director, can make the decision, but if their president Lu Aidang can't." Yao Lihua said.

"How?" Wang Hui was a little curious.

"It's not been a day or two since I dealt with them. Lu Aidang is a person who is indecisive and conservative in everything. This time, the author directly offered [-] points for the share. He didn't have the courage. "

"The "Tomb Raiders Notes 1" that is still being serialized was decided by his vice-president Peng Huan. At that time, he had a bit of trouble with their president. The final result proved that the decision of the vice-president was correct."

"This novel is the best one in their magazine this year, and it is more than 30.00% higher than the works of the same period." Wang Hui said.

"It was a good time in the past. There was a lack of talent. He has connections in the Ministry of Education, so he is in his current position. Over the years, Huaxia Publishing House has been able to sit on an equal footing with us. His deputy, Peng Huan, has a lot of credit. His deputy will also help him analyze, and the deputy can also persuade him, this time his deputy asked for leave."

"His deputy is not here, as long as he knows that the author is talking loudly this time, he will not agree."

"President, didn't you say that their supervisor is very capable? Can he not see it?" Wang Hui asked curiously.

"The director of the publishing department is indeed a very capable person, but the official rank is overwhelming. As long as the president does not agree, he has no choice but to sign it."

"How many copies can be sold, have you evaluated it?" asked Yao Lihua, the president.

"200 million to 300 million copies"

"We have good results at the starting point of reading novels, which are 30.00% to [-]% higher than the previous online novels we published. Although this is a new author, the novels are well written, and we can give ten The division of two points is not surprising," Wang Hui said.

"Then according to what you mean, you can give twelve points?"

"I think it's okay!" Wang Hui said with certainty.

Then he asked, "What about Book Heaven?"

Yao Lihua waved her hand: "It's nothing to worry about. Their president is going to retire soon, so he can retire safely and won't compete with us."

Then let's have a meeting and discuss it.

The Literary Publishing House is harmonious while the Huaxia Publishing House is dead.

Huaxia Publishing House

In the president's office, Xu Chang, the director of the publishing department, is now telling the president the excellence of "Why Shengxiaomo" and the reason for its publication.

But the president is still drinking tea leisurely, without the slightest intention to talk to him, as if to say, you say yours, I drink my tea.

Now the director of the publishing department misses the vice president Peng Huan very much. In the past, he could just go to the vice president for anything, and he could listen to his opinions.Generally, I will read the recommended novels in person before discussing whether to publish them.

And the president is good, he is a layman, and he always wants to point fingers.

He doesn't understand anything, as long as he thinks it has no connotation, and everyone can't make up his mind in a meeting, he won't publish it. He seeks stability in everything and has no enterprising spirit.

Some time ago, I also proposed to publish an anthology of poems. Fortunately, the vice president stopped me.

The supervisor was thinking: For so many years, without the vice president, Huaxia Publishing House would have closed down long ago.

"President, you should say something, I've been talking for a long time." Xu Chang said suppressing his irritability.

The president finally spoke, but what he said was very arbitrary: "A new author needs twelve points to open his mouth, and you still come to discuss with me."

"I've done some research. This book's score on the starting point website is very good, so it's only given eight points directly. That's not too low. It takes twelve points to open your mouth. Dreaming is easier to realize, and those veteran writers only get ten points. Point." The president Lu Aidang really expressed his anger while talking, and yelled loudly.

"This book is going to be a hit!" Supervisor Xu Chang also roared angrily.

"Then how many copies do you think this book can sell? Are you responsible if it doesn't sell after printing?" The president also replied loudly.

The supervisor suddenly lost his temper. If there are too many prints, the author will definitely not agree. If there are too many prints, if it cannot be sold, he will be the supervisor.

Since the president doesn't want to make this money, let the literary publishing house make it.

The head of the publishing department walked out of the president's office without saying a word, and when he looked up, he saw everyone looking at him.

"Are you all so busy!" Xu Chang yelled directly, turned around and walked to his office with a gloomy face.

The audience was completely silent, and it took a long time for someone to discuss in a low voice.

"Is this the first time the supervisor has quarreled with the president this month?"

A colleague replied: "It's the third time."

"This book is not bad. Even if it doesn't make money, it won't lose money after it's published."

"Who knows what the president thinks."

"When will the vice president come back? I miss him so much."

"It seems to be next month!"

"The vice president should have been promoted a long time ago."

"But there are some people who refuse to accept their old age and are unwilling to give up their seats."

A colleague who couldn't bear to listen to it reminded him: "Be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth."
