A life simulator starting from Hong Kong

Chapter 31 Sign the contract, five hundred words for a thousand words!
The Wing Chun routines of the 'Dacheng' level are almost at the level of Master Ye fighting ten in "Ip Man 1".

The current Chen Haodong can basically go to the fighting department of the "Global Elite Sports Center" to pretend to be aggressive, shouting "I am not targeting anyone, I just want to say, everyone here is all excited".

It's just that he keeps a low profile and doesn't want to be so ostentatious.

The proficiency of Wing Chun boxing and weapon skills has improved, and Chen Haodong's personal combat effectiveness has once again improved to a higher level.

Now if he is allowed to encounter bad boys on the street, as long as he has a weapon in his hand and the terrain is suitable, he can block a hundred people by himself...

Well, this may be a bit exaggerated, but it is definitely no problem for one person to play dozens of them.

Of course, no matter how good your kung fu is, you will be knocked down with one shot.

Even if you are a Wing Chun master, you will still overturn if you go to a club.

After putting away the system, Chen Haodong washed up and went to bed.

For the next few days, his life didn't seem to change at all. During the day, he went to school to practice singing and musical instruments as usual, and at night, he went to the housing estate to teach boxing and sleep. Everything was normal.

However, in the past few nights, many people have not slept well.

Opposite the Pheasant's house, Luo Yongzhi was holding a copy of "Hong Kong Island Commercial Daily", looking at the words written by himself on it, his heart was surging.

Although this is not a story she conceived by herself, she wrote the words word by word. Now she is very honored to see these words published in the newspaper.

This story is a beautiful dream fabricated by Chen Haodong for the people of Hong Kong Island, and she was fortunate to be able to participate in it and become a dream weaver, which was something she could never have imagined before.

At this moment, for Luo Yongzhi, writing novels for Chen Haodong as a shooter is no longer just for making money, but has become a sacred and great thing.

After realizing this, Luo Yongzhi's enthusiasm for coding became even higher.

And the newspaper office also started to get busy.

At the beginning, when the editor-in-chief decided to serialize "Legend of Sword and Fairy", he was very peaceful.

I received a manuscript of 500 words for 15 yuan, which is almost as if I picked it up for nothing. Even if I try to serialize it first, it doesn't matter if it succeeds or not.

However, after the novel began to be serialized, in just five days, the sales of "Hong Kong Island Commercial Daily" increased by nearly one-tenth.

It seems that there are not many, but you must know that "Hong Kong Island Commercial Daily", as an old-fashioned newspaper, its sales volume in Hong Kong Island is not low, and it has become stable, and generally there will be no major increase or decrease.

It is obviously an abnormal thing to increase sales by one-tenth in five days.

And with the sudden increase in sales, many calls for reprinting also came to the newspaper office.

This made the editor-in-chief both excited and regretful.

What is exciting is that the sales of the newspaper have increased, and his editor-in-chief will definitely increase and gain greater benefits.

But the problem is that they only accepted the manuscript of the first 15 words of the novel "Legend of Sword and Fairy", and the manuscript fee for the latter part was not discussed at all.

When signing the contract, the editor-in-chief was still thinking that Tsui Hark's hugely invested movie "New Shushan Swordsman" hadn't caught on. Even if someone likes a newcomer's fairy tale novel, it won't be too much, and it can retain some readers of the novel. Thank goodness for that.

So the price of the first 15 words has been lowered, and even if the serialization continues, the price will not be too high, and the reason for the lower price can always be found.

But looking at the situation now, this novel is meant to be a big hit, and the serialization will definitely continue, so we must hurry up for the later part of the negotiation.

The contract must be settled before the novel is fully popular, lest the author sit on the ground and raise the price after the novel is fully popular, or simply be picked by other newspapers.

But after reporting this idea, the leaders above had different opinions.

The latter part of the discussion must be discussed, but the price cannot be lowered, or even a high price, to express the sincerity of the newspaper, and this newcomer author cannot be pushed to the competitor for any reason.

The Commercial Daily once lost a golden hero, who can guarantee that this newcomer will not be the next golden hero.

At least with the current quality and reputation of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", no one dares to make this guarantee.

"Talk, talk well, not only to talk about this book well, but if the other party has a new book plan, it's best to talk about it together!"

The leader made a decision, and the editor-in-chief couldn't say anything more, so he called Chen Haodong directly and asked him to go to the newspaper office for a detailed discussion.

Chen Haodong didn't delay either, and soon came to the newspaper office, bringing a 30-word manuscript.

In the past few days, Luo Yongzhi has been crazy, and the speed of the code words is so fast that even if the eagle sees it, he might feel scared.

And after getting the 30-word manuscript, after browsing it roughly, and finding that there were no problems with the plot and writing, the editor-in-chief directly took out the new contract that he had prepared.

500 yuan per thousand words, this is the quotation from the Business Daily to Chen Haodong, which is a direct increase of [-] times compared to before.

A novel of 100 million words can get 50 yuan in royalties just for serialization in newspapers.

The price is quite honest.

And the editor-in-chief has only one request, that is, Chen Haodong's next novel, under the same conditions, should be given priority to continue publishing in "Hong Kong Island Commercial Daily".

For this request, Chen Haodong has no objection. As long as the manuscript fee is paid in place, it doesn't matter where his new novel is published.

However, in terms of contracts, he couldn't just sign them without even reading them, like the ones in his memory who wrote and signed online contracts by hand.

If he accidentally fell into a text trap, he might not be able to get a dime of the manuscript fee, and he might still owe the newspaper several million in the end.

People's hearts have to be guarded against, especially contracts.

For this contract, Chen Haodong asked He Min to help him find a lawyer in advance.

Some of He Min's college classmates happened to know lawyers, so he helped introduce one. He was a spirited guy with a handsome face, big eyes, and a hooked nose. His name was Liu Zhipeng.

Today is the newspaper office where Liu Zhipeng and Chen Haodong came together.

After handing over the contract to Liu Zhipeng, the other party carefully read it word by word, then nodded at Chen Haodong, saying that it was okay.

Only then did Chen Haodong feel relieved to sign his name and pen name 'Dong Ge'.

After that, I successfully got the full novel manuscript fee paid in advance by the newspaper at the price of 500 yuan per thousand words, including the previous 15 words, which was also supplemented according to this standard.

It is estimated to be 100 million words, and the manuscript fee is 50 yuan.

With 50 in hand, Chen Haodong laughed happily. It has been more than half a month since the memory was merged, and he finally earned his first pot of gold.
