Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 7 did not agree

"Lin Sheng, you really wrote this novel?"

After reading the novel quickly, Hu Zhiwen was very surprised: "Lin Sheng, don't mind, it's not that I suspect anything, but this novel is really good. The first novel you wrote, Lin Sheng, is so good, it's so impressive. Surprised."

The quality of the novel "Feng Yun" really surprised Hu Zhiwen. After all, Lin Baicheng was a young man who had never attended university. Hu Zhiwen originally thought that the quality of his novels should be average, or even poor.

The reason why he was willing to meet Lin Baicheng, and said so much, was mainly because he had hit too many walls recently, and he didn't want to let the newspaper go bankrupt just like this, so he met Lin Baicheng with an attitude of giving it a try, and read his novels.

Unexpectedly, the quality of Lin Baicheng's novel was unexpectedly good. After reading the novel, Hu Zhiwen was even a little thankful that he did not underestimate young people, and was willing to give Lin Baicheng, a young man, a chance, and now it seems that he has also given himself a chance.

Lin Baicheng was not angry either: "Editor Hu, can we cooperate then?"

"Yes, of course!"

Hu Zhiwen nodded immediately, and then said regretfully: "Unfortunately, Lin Sheng, the style of writing in your novel is a bit too straightforward, otherwise the quality of the novel can be improved to a higher level. I can't guarantee that the fire will not be guaranteed, and it will not be a small fire." questionable."

Lin Baicheng knew what Hu Zhiwen meant. It was nothing more than that the novels were not written in semi-classical Chinese. The problem was that he wrote online novels in his previous life. He can only write as before.

The novels of this era are not Xiaobaiwen, and the writing style is not so straightforward, so the novels written by Lin Baicheng feel that the writing style is not good enough in the eyes of professional editors.

"Editor Hu, you also know that I graduated from Form [-], so it's pretty good to be able to write like this."

Lin Baicheng smiled, and didn't say that such novels are more convenient for ordinary people to read. After all, novels with writing skills are more popular in this era.

"That's true, Lin Sheng, you have such a level in your novels. It can be imagined that Lin Sheng will definitely become a great writer in the future."

Hu Zhiwen stretched out his thumb to Lin Baicheng, and said sincerely.

"Thank you!"

Lin Baicheng thanked him aloud, and then said: "Editor Hu, regarding the cooperation method you proposed, I am willing to take a gamble, but the conditions need to be discussed again."

Without waiting for Hu Zhiwen's rebuttal, Lin Baicheng continued: "Editor Hu, you should know that even for a newcomer like me nowadays, the manuscript fee for a long novel is about 20 to 30 Hong Kong dollars per thousand words. Let's take an intermediate figure for calculation. , 25 words is 20 Hong Kong dollars, and the first volume of my novel has written nearly 200 words, and the whole book has about [-] million words.”

"In other words, if my novel is serialized in the normal way, the manuscript fee should be about [-] Hong Kong dollars."

"As you said, Editor-in-Chief Hu, the current asset of Star Daily is only 10 Hong Kong dollars, and 20% of the shares are only worth [-] Hong Kong dollars. It means that I can only get [-]% of the manuscript fee, not to mention the money after the newspaper closed down. There will be less income."

"So, I have no objection to the cooperation method, but I have to mention the shares given to me. 10% of the shares are too little."

After hearing this, Hu Zhiwen did not refute, but said: "Lin Sheng, the quality of your novels is still good, but I don't think any newspapers are willing to serialize your novels, right? It can even be said that few editors are willing to read your novels." Novels. I’m in this business, so I know very well that for a young man like you Lin Sheng who has no relevant education, few editors will waste their time reading your novels.”

"That is to say, my newspaper is about to go bankrupt, and I'm not reconciled. I want to spend some money on a gamble, so I don't care about it. I am willing to read Lin Sheng's novels, and the quality of the novels is really good, so I am willing to cooperate with you. , to serialize your novel."

"If you miss this time, I believe that with Lin Sheng in your situation, the serialization time of your novel in the newspaper will be infinitely delayed, and it may not be possible to have the chance to be serialized in the newspaper after a few years."

"So, this cooperation is a rare opportunity for you, Lin Sheng, and 10% of the shares is not a lot. To put it bluntly, if Lin Sheng's novel can't save the newspaper, I will spend a few more Thousands of Hong Kong dollars to pay Lin Sheng your manuscript fee, my loss is even greater."

"Editor Hu, I also took a big risk, okay?"

Lin Baicheng immediately said: "My novel has been serialized in Xingxing Daily. If the newspaper cannot save it, then my novel must be useless. No other newspaper will continue to serialize my novel. And a book that can be serialized in The finished novels, publications, film and television adaptations, comic adaptations, etc., are all a lot of income, but I can't earn a penny, what a loss."

"So, I need [-]% of the newspaper's shares, otherwise my benefits and risks are out of proportion, and it's too uneconomical for me."

Lin Baicheng raised three fingers and asked for 30% of the shares.

"This is impossible!"

Hu Zhiwen yelled and shook his head constantly: "Lin Sheng, you want too much. Instead of spending such a huge price on gambling, I might as well just procrastinate like this. If it doesn't work, just let the newspaper go bankrupt."

"15%, I will add another five points, this is my bottom line."

After pondering for a while, Hu Zhiwen gritted his teeth and raised the condition.He is still optimistic about the novel "Feng Yun". As he said before, even if the novel can't become a big hit, there should still be a great chance of a small hit, so he is willing to take a gamble and doesn't want to let go of this opportunity.

"15% is too low."

Lin Baicheng still shook his head, he would never agree to a shareholding of less than 20%.

It is really because the assets of the Star Daily are too small, only [-] Hong Kong dollars, and the [-] Hong Kong dollars is what Hu Zhiwen himself said, who knows how much water is in it.It may only be worth [-] Hong Kong dollars or even less. If he completely believes in Hu Zhiwen, then he is a fool.

Lin Baicheng has no way of investigating the net assets of the newspaper, so he can only protect his own interests by obtaining more shares and waiting for the novel to revive the newspaper.Otherwise, it's better not to cooperate, anyway, he doesn't have to cooperate.

Afterwards, Lin Baicheng and Hu Zhiwen argued about the amount of shares, but unfortunately neither could convince the other.

Lin Baicheng insisted on 30% of the shares, but Hu Zhiwen could only give 15% at most, so until Lin Baicheng left the Star Daily, they still failed to negotiate.

However, both of them had the idea of ​​cooperation in their hearts, so they didn't completely talk about it, and they both left room for it.
