80 widows in the control group, eating melons and raising cubs are poor and happy

Bai Liu first handed over part of the manuscript. She couldn't just hand over the details stupidly and select only part of the manuscript from each subject.

She dared to say it was astonishing enough.

After all, people who have the ability to write review materials now have more things to do, but people who want to make this money may not have this ability.

It is better for them who cannot achieve high or low.

There's no other way, it's just making money, it's not shabby.

She only has one idea now: make money, make money like crazy!
Just talking about the changes in Beijing in just one year is amazing enough. She found that more and more private vendors wanted money without paying tickets, which meant that they could live a better life if they had money in the future.

Liangzhou had experienced Lao Hu's deception, so he was naturally more cautious.

He is also a college student in the 60s. Even if he is not as good as Peking University and Beijing University, he is still good. At least he has studied systematically and has his own set of vision for reviewing manuscripts as an editor in these years.

Although this draft is different from before...

Liang Zhou's publishing house is nearby, and he is very familiar with the surroundings, so he is not worried about anything fishy Bai Liu will do.

But literati have been more reserved since ancient times. This is the first time he has seen such an author like Bai Liu, who promotes his review materials and uses old nonsense!
Liang Zhou held the manuscript in his hand and refused to put it down. He raised his eyes to look at Bai Liu, who was also sizing him up.

Bai Liu was guessing Liangzhou's purpose of purchasing college entrance examination review materials. If it was a large publishing house, it must have found relevant experts to customize the materials. But thinking about it conversely, if the publishing house was too small, it might not be able to get a share of the pie.

that--

"Let me introduce myself first." Liang Zhou paused and took out a note from the pocket of his cadre uniform. "My name is Liang Zhou. I am the editor-in-chief of Xinghuo Publishing House. This is our contact information."

Bai Liu had heard before that Hong Kong businessmen like to give business cards to each other during introductions, but this custom is not popular in the mainland.

Liangzhou's "business card" is handwritten, but it may not be easy to be willing to take this step.

She seemed to be able to think of Liangzhou's current situation.

"A single spark can start a prairie fire," she smiled and took the note with both hands. "Sorry, I don't know exactly what books you have published. May I ask?"

Liang Zhou was originally anxious, but he knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he might as well sit down patiently.

He ordered a pot of tea and counted the past glory of the publishing house: "Our publishing house was established on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and has been mainly publishing various novels about world affairs... To be honest, we have to change our business scope."

To put it simply, Spark Publishing House is dying and wants to make a final struggle.

Bai Liu: ...

You don't have to be so honest.

How dare she cooperate with a publishing house that is almost dead?
Bai Liu listened quietly and did not express his position for a long time.

After finishing speaking, Liang Zhou felt thirsty. He drank two sips of tea and changed the topic with a smile: "I know what I said made you afraid to hand over the manuscript to us, but why not listen to my thoughts?"

Bai Liu concentrated.

She never looked down on anyone, not to mention the person who could become the editor-in-chief must be a good person.

"The business of our publishing house has not been very good in recent years, and it may even be merged or cancelled. We need to find authors ourselves. But -" Liang Zhou suddenly emphasized his tone, "Don't you want to grow with Spark Publishing House? ?”

"Novel about worldly affairs has been around since ancient times. I don't think it will be lonely in the future. It has just been dormant for a period of time. We can wait. As long as we survive this period, it will continue to develop in the future. It is so exciting to watch a publishing house come back to life." Bai Liu finally couldn't help but retort: ​​"But does it have anything to do with me? This is a public institution. I can barely be regarded as the author, so the remuneration is enough."

Liang Zhou's words were spoken with the loyalty of an intellectual, and she did not want to take excessive risks.

Her refusal was too obvious. Liangzhou gradually calmed down and realized that what he said was too vague. They were just passers-by who met by chance... Now he needs Bai Liu's manuscript. Does Bai Liu need him?
Liang Zhou was unsure, but he also knew one thing: his conditions could not impress Bai Liu at all.

"Let's not talk about this for now," Bai Liu's eyes fell on Liang Zhou's hand, "Why don't you return the manuscript to me first? We can talk about it later?"

After talking for a long time without mentioning the specific remuneration, she would be crazy to believe Liang Zhou's rhetoric.

Liang Zhou suddenly grabbed the manuscript towards him and gritted his teeth: "Do you think this is okay? Don't go to other publishing houses. Our Xinghuo Publishing House has its own printing channels, which can guarantee the fastest completion and distribution of the manuscript. I am now I'm sure you won't agree with the fixed price. Can we calculate it based on the number of books?"

Bai Liu was noncommittal: "Of course it's good to share it, but how do you calculate the money?"

I won't do it without her.

Liangzhou didn't speak, as if he was struggling in his heart.

She already had the idea of ​​leaving. Although a skinny camel was bigger than a horse, she didn't have to hang herself on a tree.

If it doesn't work here, there are other places.

"We will still have opportunities to cooperate in the future. Will you still accept novels about world affairs? Do you have any ideas about accepting historical novels?" If the business fails, she will not break up with Liangzhou.

Adults always have interests first.

Liangzhou's expression changed: "Okay, okay, okay, but now let's talk about reviewing the materials first," he said cruelly, "Is it okay to open [-]? The cost and transportation costs are very high——"

"You can't guarantee sales, right?" Bailiu Lip Teeth Camera, "Of course everyone will be happy if the sales are good, but if it fails, I will lose even more."

"You know the value of this review material, and others can see it. If I give it to you for publication but it fails to meet expectations, experts will quickly imitate similar books, and my work will be in vain."

There is no need for her and Spark Publishing to share joys and sorrows.

"Give me the manuscript, and we will have opportunities to collaborate in the future." She said and was about to get up and leave.

Liangzhou refused, and he wanted to make a final struggle: "I know we are not good at it now, but I can contact other publishing houses and jointly publish it. Is it okay?"

Bai Liu's outstretched hand paused slightly, but it wasn't impossible.

"Of course this is a bad idea, because we can't guarantee that no other accidents will happen during the period, and we will probably favor one over the other." Liang Zhou spoke quickly, "In this case, I will discuss with the agency and pay you part of the royalties in advance, and the rest. The profit will be divided after publication. Our publishing house will do its best to coordinate resources, but it is really impossible to distribute the goods in advance..."

After he opened his mind, he seemed to regard Bai Liu's manuscript as a life-saving straw for Xinghuo Publishing House.

In fact, he is right in saying that no matter how good Bai Liu's manuscript is, it must be appreciated by Bole. For a publishing house that is at its peak, it is just the icing on the cake. For Xinghuo Publishing House, it is a timely help.

If it is not destroyed or established, the worst case scenario is death.

Bai Liu thought about it for a moment, "I want to pay the royalties in advance, split [-]-[-]. In addition, you have to listen to me on how to publish."

If the other party can accept such conditions, there is no need for her to leave.

It doesn't hurt to take a gamble. Liang Zhou's words gave her new ideas. (End of chapter)
