I asked you to write a book, not to disclose your criminal record!

Chapter 264 Do you also write novels? (Subscribe)

The two people from the black-hearted novel website, Hao Ge and Xiao Hou, reached a consensus and quickly walked into the Mangrove Coffee Shop.

As the 'editor', Xiaohou is mainly responsible for contacting the author.

As soon as he entered the coffee shop, the little monkey looked around with his little eyes, searching everywhere.

He saw a pretty girl in a light brown windbreaker in the corner by the window, waving at them: "Here!"

The little monkey also raised his hand and smiled.

Hao Ge next to him also saw it, and his eyes suddenly lit up. This girl is really beautiful, with an oval face, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and fair skin that makes her look particularly elegant. Her outfit is intellectual and has a unique charm.

suddenly!

His eyes fell on the man next to the girl.

This man was a bit handsome. Hao Ge thought that in terms of appearance, this man was second only to him. He had clean short hair, and there was an extraordinary look between his eyebrows. He had an indifferent expression. He was looking at them along the girls' gaze, with a smile on his lips, and he looked quite kind.

Do not know why.

Brother Hao's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He felt uncomfortable all over and something seemed wrong.

Although the young landlady was very beautiful, his attention was completely attracted by Lin Chuan.

"Brother Hao, Zhang is calling us! Let's go over there." Seeing that Brother Hao beside him didn't move, the little monkey raised his voice.

"oh oh!"

Brother Hao was a little dazed at that moment, but now that he had come to his senses, he quickly put those strange thoughts behind him and walked towards Lin Chuan and the young landlady.

"Hello, Editor Monkey."

The young landlady was very polite and gestured to Xiaohou and Haoge to sit opposite her.

Although she has achieved some success in the business field.

But I’m still a newbie in the novel section, so I’m a little reserved.

Lin Chuan seemed much more natural.

"Hello, Zhang." After sitting down, Xiaohou greeted them first, then asked the waiter to order two cups of coffee, and then his eyes met with Lin Chuan and Xinxin, "Who is this?"

The landlady looked at Lin Chuan and said with a smile: "This is my boyfriend."

"Hello, Editor Monkey." Lin Chuan nodded with a faint smile on his face.

"Nice to meet you."

The little monkey said politely, then pointed at Brother Hao and introduced him, "This is the big boss of our Mars Novel, Brother Hao, this time he came here in person for Zhang, saying that he wanted to meet Zhang."

"It's Brother Hao." Lin Chuan smiled, "Editor Monkey, you came all the way from Southeast Asia, it's so thoughtful of you."

Hao Ge is not that familiar with Chinese, so he can only understand a little bit, such as "Lin", so the little monkey acts as a translator.

He listened and nodded repeatedly.

Lin Chuan frowned slightly. This Brother Hao has been staring at him since he entered the door. At first, he thought Brother Hao was looking at the young landlady, but now, the young landlady is right in front of him, and he is still staring at him. It's very strange!

"It's not far, just a plane ride."

The little monkey waved his hands and smiled. Then, he turned his gaze to the landlady, "Zhang, it seems that I am older than you, so I will take advantage of you and call you Xiao Zhang. I hope you can submit more articles to our Mars novels in the future."

"No problem, Editor Monkey." The young landlady smiled.

"Xiao Zhang, what is your boyfriend's name?" The little monkey looked at Lin Chuan and asked.

The young landlady frowned slightly and smiled: "My boyfriend's surname is Lin, you call him..."

At this time.

The waiter was bringing over the coffee. When Hao Ge heard that the landlady's surname was Lin, he was startled and stood up reflexively. He accidentally bumped into the waiter, and two cups of coffee fell to the ground.

The cup also shattered to the ground, making a thumping sound, attracting attention in the coffee shop.

The waiter kept saying sorry, but Hao Ge was completely unaware.

When Xiaohou heard the name "Lin", he was also stunned for a moment. Seeing Hao Ge's movement, he immediately said, "You two, I'll take Hao Ge to the bathroom. He's all wet."

immediately.

The little monkey then pulled Hao Ge to the bathroom and said to him in Southeast Asian Malay: "This is not the one with the surname Lin, don't overreact!"

"I know, I know!" Hao Ge muttered.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the waiter quickly cleaned up the mess on the floor.

Lin Chuan frowned: "Xinxin, this Hao brother is very weird."

"eccentric?"

The young landlady was puzzled.

"He stared at me as soon as he entered the door, and then when you introduced me just now, he suddenly responded like a conditioned reflex." As an ace agent, Lin Chuan pays close attention to these details.

"Really?" The landlady was a little confused. "Looking at his appearance, he seems to be from Southeast Asia."

Lin Chuan nodded: "Yes, it's Malay."

"Do you understand?"

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "I know a little bit. I know some of the languages ​​of Southeast Asia."

"You've become a master of language, that's amazing!" The young landlady is a qualified supporting actor who provides emotional value to Lin Chuan all the time, and her inner vanity is greatly satisfied.

Lin Chuan laughed and joked, "You are a famous novelist now. Your works have been published in Southeast Asia!"

"No match for you. You have a bunch of criminal fans!"

The young landlady snorted.

Lin Chuan waved his hands repeatedly: "These fans are too extreme. I'm a little scared."

The young landlady looked at Lin Chuan, and they looked at each other and smiled.

Lin Chuan picked up the coffee, took a sip, and the little monkey's Malay words "This is not the one with the surname Lin" echoed in his mind. It seemed that Brother Hao was quite afraid of meeting a "person with the surname Lin".

the other side.

Xiaohou took Haoge to the bathroom and wiped the coffee stains off his coat: "Haoge, what's wrong with you?"

Brother Hao has always been the boss of the little monkeys.

It is also the backbone of French Fries novels and Martian novels.

This should be the demeanor of a leader, but now there is not even a trace of such behavior, which is rather surprising.

Hao took a deep breath and said, "I don't know why, but when I saw the boy opposite me, I felt panicky."

The little monkey was very puzzled: "It shouldn't be like this. The boy opposite is handsome and a little bit handsome. He is very pleasing to the eye and harmless. Brother Hao, why are you so nervous?"

Hao Ge shook his head: "This is my intuition, my intuition is always accurate!"

“This is an illusion!”

The little monkey said firmly, "This is definitely not that Lin. I can guarantee that if it is that Lin, he is still Zhang's boyfriend. Then why didn't Zhang publish it on Qihang Novels? Lin has so many resources on Qihang Novels?"

hiss!
Hao took a breath and thought: "What you said makes sense."

"Don't worry, let's proceed according to our original plan. You have to use your aura to show off your talent. Otherwise, others will look down on you. How can you buy out Zhang's copyright for 9,000 yuan?" The little monkey looked around and whispered.

Brother Hao bent down slightly, scooped up a handful of clean water with both hands and applied it to his face.

The cold water soaked his face, and his mind immediately became clear. Looking in the mirror, his expression changed. He shook off the water droplets with his hands, then combed his hair back, looking like a domineering president.

"Yes, that's the taste!" The little monkey's eyes lit up and he immediately exclaimed in admiration.

"Let's go and meet this Xiao Zhang and her boyfriend named Lin!" Hao Ge told himself in his heart that not all people with the last name 'Lin' are Lin! This boy named Lin looks so young, but he can be easily controlled?
Hao Ge comforted himself truthfully.

Soon, the two walked out of the bathroom, one in front and one behind.

When I returned to my seat, the floor had been cleaned and two cups of coffee were on the table.

"I was a little absent-minded just now, I'm sorry to bother you two. This is Xiao Zhang's boyfriend, I'll just call you Xiao Lin." Brother Hao was still a little scared, but he forced himself to keep his composure.

Try calling him "Xiao Lin" first. The real Lin would never let others call him Xiao Lin!
——Brother Hao thought so.

The little monkey translated it.

Lin Chuan smiled and didn't care about the title: "No problem."

Hao Ge smiled for the first time: "I came all the way from Southeast Asia this time because I was impressed by Xiao Zhang's talent. I also wanted to talk to Xiao Zhang about the physical publication of "Dying to Survive" and the copyright buyout."

Lin Chuan nodded.

The landlady smiled and said, "Brother Hao, will the physical publication be published first in Chinese or in Southeast Asia?"

Hao Ge thought about it and exchanged glances with Xiao Hou: "When two versions are launched at the same time, the operating costs will be a lot of data. We plan to launch the Chinese version first to try and see the effect."

"I have no problem with that." The young landlady nodded.

"Next, let's talk about the issue of buying out the copyright." Brother Hao glanced at Lin Chuan, and seeing that Lin Chuan didn't react, he went straight to the point.

These two are young people, and they seem to have just graduated from college not long ago, so they should be easy to deceive.

"Copyright buyout..."

The young landlady was not mentally prepared for this. She looked at Lin Chuan, who was her solid backing.

Lin Chuan took over the conversation: "Brother Hao, regarding the copyright buyout, if the price is right, we are willing to accept it."

Most novel authors are already happy just to have a guaranteed bottom line.

As for buying out the copyright, as long as the price is not too outrageous and is within a normal range, it is acceptable.

What’s more, this is Little Landlady’s first book, so it’s a great start!

Hao picked up the coffee and took a sip pretentiously: "This coffee shop is really good. They use Arabica coffee beans produced in Santos. The taste is mellow and smooth, with just the right amount of bitterness lingering in the mouth. It's like tasting a life."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The little monkey was also a supporting actor, so he immediately agreed and translated.

In fact, Brother Hao is talking nonsense!

However, he just likes to use these incomprehensible but powerful nonsense to elevate his style. This is very effective in fooling young people.

If the other party is a bit materialistic, he will be "captured" in an instant.

But Lin Chuan doesn't buy it.

As soon as Lin Chuan took a sip, he knew that this was coffee ground from ordinary coffee beans. The taste was slightly better than that made from bagged coffee powder.

He did not expose Brother Hao: "You two, what price are you prepared to offer to buy out the copyright of "Dying to Survive"?"

Hao Ge stared at Lin Chuan for a long time, then stretched out two fingers, made a gesture of the Arabic number '7', and said in a big voice: "Seven thousand!"

The little monkey's eyes widened, and he quickly grabbed Brother Hao's hand and stopped him, saying, "Brother Hao, if this number is raised too high, we will lose money!"

Hao Ge waved away Xiao Hou's hand: "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Lin, I have a good impression of each other, so what's wrong with giving them more? Our cooperation is still to come! Translate truthfully!"

The little monkey had no choice but to translate: "You two, Brother Hao's price is seven thousand!"

"Seven thousand?"

Lin Chuan frowned.

He could understand the Malay language that Haoge was talking to Xiaohou in. Xiaohou looked so nervous. If it was 70 million, then he might consider it.

"Xiao Lin, Xiao Zhang, if you think the price is too low, I can increase it!" Brother Hao said generously.

"Brother Hao!"

The little monkey couldn't help but shout.

Lin Chuan frowned again: "How much more can you add?"

"I won't beat around the bush. I'll just give you my highest price plus this amount!" Hao Ge twisted his mouth and stretched out his index and middle fingers.

Lin Chuan was a little confused.

Add another 20 million, and that’ll be 90 million!
This copyright buyout price is not something that even a leading website like Qihang Novel can afford!

Martian novels are so profitable! ?
He looked at the landlady beside him and asked in a low voice: "Xinxin, are your novel grades so good?"

Xinxin shook her head slightly: "I can only see domestic data, which seems to be pretty good. I don't know about Southeast Asia, and I can't find overseas data."

"Ninety million is not a small amount." Lin Chuan reminded, but he did not say the second half of the sentence.

——Is this a trick?

Before Hao Ge and Xiao Hou came, he specifically checked the address of Mars Novel's headquarters, which was in Southeast Asia, and seemed to be only more than 100 kilometers away from Morgan Group.

At that time, Lin Chuan also suspected that these two people might be members of the Morgan Group.

When he saw Hao Ge and Xiao Hou, his doubts were dispelled. These two people did not have such characteristics.

But now Brother Hao directly offered 90 million, so he had to be a little more suspicious.

"Chairman, I don't quite understand. Please help me make the decision." The young landlady trusted Lin Chuan and let Lin Chuan make the decision directly.

Lin Chuan nodded.

Then, he looked at Brother Hao and Xiaohou: "You two, the number of 90 million is a bit beyond my expectations."

The little monkey and Hao Ge looked at each other.

Hao Ge waved his hand and said, "Xiao Lin, you may have heard it wrong. It's nine thousand."

"Nine thousand?"

Lin Chuan was stunned and confirmed again, "Only nine thousand, not ten thousand?"

Brother Hao nodded slightly.

puff-

Lin Chuan tried to hold back, but the landlady couldn't. She just took a sip of coffee and spat it directly into the trash can next to her, letting out a burst of uncontrollable laughter.

Lin Chuan patted the landlady on the back to prevent her from laughing so hard that she almost choked, and then asked, "Is this nine thousand in US dollars?"

Hao Ge twitched his lips and said, "In RMB."

This time, Lin Chuan couldn't help himself and his eyes narrowed with joy.

Nine thousand oceans, isn’t that too dark?
No, this can no longer be described as dark, this is purely abstract!
a long time.

Lin Chuan stopped laughing and said, "You two, this cooperation is really not possible. I'm sorry, but these two cups of coffee are on me."

"Xiao Lin, are you not satisfied with this price?"

Brother Hao asked.

"Of course." Lin Chuan said directly, "I also write novels. I also know something about the Southeast Asian market. I have never heard of buying out the copyright for 9,000 yuan."

Hao Ge was suddenly startled: "You also write novels?"

Lin Chuan nodded.

Hao Ge looked a little unnatural: "What novels have you written?"
