Reborn Cultural Empire

111. Good People Are Used to Plot Plots

When I signed "Song Dynasty" with Rogo for the first time, it contained all the content, and it was estimated that there would be a total of seven books.However, in the later "Shen Nong Code" and "Ghost Blowing Lantern" contracts, because it involved the loan between him and Rogo, and the shares of Yunzhong Bookstore, they were replaced by one roll and one sign.

Now, no matter how much money is sold for these books, it must be used to repay the debts. When will the bookstore's loan be paid off, and when will the original contract form be replaced.

However, according to this level of popularity, Yang Yi feels that his job of contract labor probably won't last for a few years.

But the problem is that the copyright issues of "Shen Nong Code" and "Ghost Blowing Lantern" are not counted at all.

"I'm sorry, I don't seem to understand what you mean." Yang Yi smiled, as if confirming: "Editor Mai means that he is very optimistic about "Shen Nong Code" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"? Do you want to publish it?"

Although the three-day sales volume of nearly [-] copies of the two books is still far behind that of "Song Dynasty", this is also because books with similar themes have not been well developed. quite a lot.

Now there are also very few discordant voices questioning the writing ability of "Yueer Dushi" in the newspapers, and the evidence used is the sales volume of these two books.

However, anyone with a little heart can see some clues from the sales trend-in the past three days, the sales of the two books have gradually increased rather than decreased.As Mai Xian, who has been in the publishing industry for more than 20 years, he can naturally see the potential of a book at a glance.

"Yes! Not right!" Mai Xian shook his head with a smile: "We are not optimistic about "Shen Nong Code" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", we are optimistic about you!"

Yang Yi smiled noncommittally. If these words were changed to other "young writers", no matter how arrogant and difficult to get along with, they would inevitably have a feeling of bosom friend for this Editor-in-Chief.But if it was Yang Yi, this trick really wouldn't work.

"What do you mean?"

"Except for "Song Dynasty", your other works will be packaged and distributed by our Literature and Art Publishing House, and published unconditionally." Mai Xian said firmly.

Huh?It's a bit bold, Yang clicked his lips, and then deliberately tried: "If I just write a random book that is not eligible for publication, can you help me publish it?"

"Just relying on the reputation of 'reading history with pleasure', if you dare to write about it, of course we dare to publish it!" Mai Xian laughed: "But will Xiao Yang make fun of his own reputation?"

This old stuff.

Yang Yi pursed his lips inwardly, and first gave him a big hat, preferably not relying on the value of his pseudonym.It can't be said that even if they really write a book at that time, they will publish it, but it's just the number of prints...

"Sorry, I don't care if I say this." Yang Yi finally understood the thoughts of Yuezhou Publishing Group, so he didn't have the intention of continuing to circle around.

Mai Xian's smile remained unchanged: "Xiao Yang, if you don't tell lies in front of a real person, the copyright fee is already sky-high."

Yang Yi also kept his smile unchanged, still shook his head, and was about to open the car door.

At this moment, Mai Xian's face finally changed. This is the copyright fee. Although there is no guaranteed amount, but the current influence of the pseudonym "Yue Er Du Shi" will be hundreds of thousands of income per percentage point.

Now, when the author's copyright fee generally does not exceed 14.00%, their literature and art publishing house can offer a high remuneration of [-] points, but they can't make this kid in front of him tempted?

Editor-in-chief Mai is really in a hurry now. The reason why Xiao Mingnan, the boss of Yuezhou Publishing Group, asked him to stop Yang Yi here is that he hopes to communicate with him under si, bypassing Rogo and Siyue directly, and come to Seize this little God of Wealth in the current book market, now.

Speaking of which, Mr. Xiao is hardworking enough. He came to Siyue yesterday, but Yang Yi was in a hurry to find evidence of Jia Liping's crime, so he just missed the opportunity to meet.In the afternoon, people went directly to the door of Yang's family to wait, but one mother and son went to the hospital, and the other was diligently and conscientiously marking the Great Wall... When he came to the door again this morning, Yang Yi took Su Wan to the hospital again. "Going to the mountains and going to the countryside".

If it hadn't been arranged in advance for people to squat outside Siyue, the only way to negotiate with Yang Yi was in front of Rogo.

Mai Xian didn't care about reserve at this time, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Yang, I think you need to think about our proposal carefully. It is beneficial and harmless to you and us."

Yang Yi had already stepped out of the car door, and seeing Mai Xian getting angry in a hurry, he suddenly pretended to be helpless and said wickedly: "There is no way, Mr. Luo doesn't say anything, how dare I sign a contract with other people casually. "

When Mai Xian heard this, he almost spat blood on Yang Yi's back. With the attitude this kid showed just now, would he take Rogo seriously?He actually has the face to play pitiful.

Thinking that this editor-in-chief Mai is just doing things for others, and with his status as the editor-in-chief, it is not easy for an author to do this, so Yang Yi smiled seriously: "To be honest. , Editor-in-Chief Mai, although "Shen Nong Code" and "Ghost Blowing Lantern" are signed for once, but in fact all the copyrights of these two books belong to Siyue in theory. It's really not that I want to sign, I want to sign You can sign it."

ah?how so!Mai Xian was stunned for a moment, seeing Yang nod his head, greeted him politely and walked away, and suddenly chased after him unwillingly: "Well, student Xiao Yang, we don't want the copyright of these books now, sign you next How about your book? Come to our Literature and Art Publishing House!"

……

Walking into the courtyard of Siyue, Yang Yi still felt a little emotional. Although the editor-in-chief Mai had been instructed by his superiors to contact him just now, he was full of sincerity, and he made no secret of his appreciation for those books. In general negotiations, it means to lower the price by picking thorns.

Although the biggest reason was that they wanted something from themselves, Mai Xian's solemn attitude undoubtedly made people feel extremely comfortable.

Even in the end, he didn't give up his efforts, all he wanted to do was to recruit himself.

However, Yang Yi really couldn't cooperate with them, even if he didn't license the copyrights of "Shen Nong Code" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

Yuezhou Publishing Group is different from Siyue Culture. The former is a well-known and listed publishing group with a state-owned background.If you choose to cooperate with Yuezhou Publishing, how can you realize the concept of physical cloud bookstore-online cloud bookstore-network cultural group?Apart from other things, can Yuezhou Publishing allow itself to mortgage the copyright in exchange for funds to toss the seemingly crazy and idiotic move of building a bookstore?

In this comparison, the fat guy Rogo is more confused.

……

In the car that hadn't left yet, Mai Xian was sitting in the back row, closing his eyes and meditating silently, but his assistant knew that this was a subconscious expression of his boss's boredom, so he couldn't help complaining angrily: "The copyright As for the fee, even if he is a golden penholder, this is enough sincerity! Our agency has never paid more than [-] points for the manuscript..."

"Forget it, this little guy's book is worthy of this price! Besides, this price was also set by Mr. Xiao. Doesn't Mr. Xiao have a long-term vision than you?"

When the assistant heard that Xiao Mingnan ordered the general himself, he grinned and said nothing.

"Forget it, go back, Mr. Xiao should talk to him personally about the rest of the matter, and Mai Xian ordered that although he didn't succeed today, he had already put in his best efforts, and Xiao Mingnan couldn't say anything if he wanted to come. I just hope that the boss can have a mental preparation, and don't affect his judgment and decision-making when negotiating because of his failure to recruit.

Thinking of this, Mai Xian picked up his Ericsson, and quickly informed the helm of the group that he didn't care about the failure of the recruitment, but if he failed to do these details afterwards, he would be asking for trouble.

……

Xiao Mingnan had been waiting in Siyue's conference room for more than half an hour, but he didn't feel impatient at all. Instead, he comforted Rogo, who was frequently dialing the phone: "Young people, who doesn't have their own things to do? Luo Ge Don't worry, anyway."

Naturally, he was not in a hurry, he sent someone to wait for Yang Yi on the way, and now of course he had to try his best to create time for his subordinates.

I couldn't help thinking of the scene at the White Stone Abode more than a month ago. If I had agreed to Rogo and the child's proposal at that time, I'm afraid they would all be sitting together for a celebration banquet now. Why would I need to come now? Take this thought.

However, Xiao Mingnan is a person who never expresses regret. Even though this time he is likely to bow his head and pay for what he has said and done before, he is still steadily developing his own plan, an out-and-out practical man.

At this moment, his phone rang, and he made an apologetic gesture to Rogo, and then connected.

"Hello? It's me." The other end of the phone talked a lot, Xiao Mingnan basically didn't chat, and the look on his face didn't change at all, it was like a normal call, no one could tell from his expression , noticed that Xiao Mingnan had just experienced a failure.

"Well, okay, I see, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore, right! Also, you can contact me personally about the matter I mentioned yesterday, okay."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Mingnan smiled faintly, matching his refined temperament, and competed with the fat man opposite the long round table to decide.

"Mr. Luo, I still blame you Siyue for speaking of it. Well, just now, the editor-in-chief of the Literature and Art Publishing House called. An author they are focusing on tracking has a new book that has been completed but is going to be published by your Siyue. It’s really embarrassing!”

Luo Ge sneered in his heart, but Xiao Mingnan's skill was not inferior to Xiao Mingnan's, he repeatedly smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao was joking, this means that the New Year's Day activities have caused a bit of momentum, and when this gust of wind passes, who will remember us Siyue. "

Hehe, this little fat fox.Xiao Mingnan was facing the window, his glasses were so bright, he smiled noncommittally at Rogo.

What, the old fox.God knows what happened just now, if you were really robbed of author resources, how could you still reveal your short stories to make me happy?

With honey in their mouths and swords in their hearts, two so-called Confucian businessmen scolded their mother in their hearts together.
