Chapter 92

"Let me introduce myself first, He Youxin, the editor-in-chief of our Provincial Education Publishing House; these are all staff members of our publishing house." He Youxin broke the silence first, and pointed to the entourage around him; the big guys one by one He said hello to Xia Xiaohong.

He Youxin waited until Xia Xiaohong became familiar with the people around him before continuing: "As for us coming here today to find Xia Xiaohong..." He Youxin hesitated for a moment, uh...he really didn't know what to call him Xia Xiaohong is the right one, the other party is so young; naturally she can't be called Ms. or Comrade.

Xia Xiaohong saw He Youxin's embarrassment, and smiled indifferently: "Uncle He, right! It's okay, just call me by my name."

"That's fine, I'll call you Xia Xia!" He Youxin nodded with a gentle smile, and explained: "I heard your mother call you like this when I was on the road, is that okay?"

"Of course, you are an elder—Xia Xia is my nickname; elders usually call me like this, it's okay!" Xia Xiaohong nodded lightly, hehe... Isn't it just a name?It doesn't matter, names are meant to be called by people.

"Xiaxia, we received the novel manuscript you sent some time ago; after all the editors in our publishing house have read it, they all agree that it is a very wonderful novel." He Youxin said with a smile: "Although the story There is a big gap with general martial arts novels or mythological novels, it is undeniable that the subject matter of the novel is very novel; the storyline is very fascinating, this novel will definitely lead the trend of novels in the future.”

Xia Xiaohong tilted her head to listen to He Youxin's long-winded talk, but she never got to the point; she finally couldn't help it... she frowned slightly and said softly: " Uncle He, you have said so much - what is the point? What is the point you want to say?"

【Panlong】Would you like to read it? Xia Xiaohong knows it well, this is a novel that can be called the originator of fantasy novels;
Xia Xiaohong's words made He Youxin's face blush, uh...he actually deviated from the topic because he was too excited.

"Cough cough cough..." He Youxin cleared his throat and finally returned to the topic: "Xia Xia, the thing is like this—we read your novel; we think the story is well written, so there should be some It has a good market prospect; so we are going to publish it as a book, and the purpose of coming to you this time is to discuss with you about the book publishing contract."

"Publishing a book?" Xia Xiaohong frowned. She had thought about the purpose of the other party's coming; but she hadn't talked about the conditions. Was the other party so sure that she would sign a contract with them?

Xia Xiaohong's silence made He Youxin stunned, uh...what does this little girl mean?Don't want to publish a book?Or are you not satisfied with the conditions you put forward?But... hasn't he mentioned his condition yet?
"Uncle He, I don't know how to calculate the manuscript fee for publishing a book?" Just when He Youxin was about to suffer from a heart attack, Xia Xiaohong finally spoke.

"Xia Xia, our publishing house will pay you 5 yuan in one lump sum; how do you feel about buying out the copyright of your novel?" The price is said.

A general novel copyright buyout is at most 3 to 4 yuan. This 5 yuan is already considered a very good price; er... at least in the 80s, it was already a huge amount of money .

In He Youxin's mind, after the other party heard the conditions offered by him; not to mention overjoyed, at least they would not refuse, but obviously... He Youxin's estimation was wrong this time.

Xia Xiaohong was silent for a while, then said: "Uncle He, like this... I don't want the 5 yuan."

Nima?What do you mean?
He Youxin, Yang Xiu and the others were all dumbfounded when they heard Xia Xiaohong's words. What did the other party mean?Don't want money... Could it be because you don't want to sign a contract?

Looking at everyone's expressions, Xia Xiaohong knew that everyone had misunderstood her meaning, what joke?No money... How could she not want money, if it wasn't for money; she could send the novel?I rely on!

He Youxin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Xia Xia, what do you mean..."

"That's right, the reason why I don't want the 5 yuan; that's because I want to share dividends with your publishing house in another way, simply put... I want to take profits from the novel after it's published 20.00%." ​​Xia Xiaohong is still very confident in the novel [Coiling Dragon], especially when the market for martial arts novels is weak; fantasy novels have been popular for a long, long time.

He Youxin didn't quite understand Xia Xiaohong's behavior of paying dividends. The manuscript fee of 5 yuan is not a lot and it is not a small amount; this is not a small amount. For a rural family like Xia Xiaohong, it is definitely a sum It was a huge sum of money; even for He Youxin himself, it was the sum of his salary for several years.

Didn't it mean that money touches people's hearts?He Youxin really didn't understand that such a little girl didn't want 5 yuan in cash;

"Could it be that she is so confident that her book will be a hit?" He Youxin suddenly had a thought in his heart that even he himself felt a little flustered, and soon he shook his head to deny his own. idea.

How can it be?This is a little girl who is only so old, even if she can write a book, she is a genius; uh... it is impossible to predict that her own book will be a hit, right?This is simply unbelievable, and a little too flustered; He Youxin can't believe that the other party is really so against the sky.

He Youxin naturally had no opinion on Xia Xiaohong's proposal; on the contrary, he felt that he had taken a lot of advantage, after all, the other party signed a contract with him at this time without getting any money; but after a month or two, He Youxin felt that It's called regret!
Alas... Dividends are really a big loss!
Now that everyone has reached an agreement, Xia Xiaohong quickly went into the room and called Jiang Meiying to come out; uh...Ye Zihui came out with her, so she was worried that Jiang Meiying came out with her.

There is no way!Although the author of this novel is Xia Xiaohong, she is not yet a minor; the part about the contract must be approved by her parents, that is, the guardian.

Jiang Meiying didn't know why Xia Xiaohong asked her to come out?

"Xia Xia, did you ask Mom to come out for something?" Jiang Meiying glared at Ye Zihui who was following her angrily, and her tone was so gentle when facing Xia Xiaohong!

Hehe...obviously different treatment!
"Mum, that's the thing." Xia Xiaohong immediately told Jiang Meiying about the publishing matters she had discussed with He Youxin, and added a sentence at the end: "Mum, about the manuscript fee; I discussed it with Uncle He. Yes... I don't take the 5 yuan he gave me as a one-off remuneration, I take a 20.00% bonus of his future total profits; what do you think?"

Xia Xiaohong didn't hide from Jiang Meiying the issue of the 5 yuan remuneration, anyway, it's in Jiang Meiying's heart now; uh...she is a person with a fairy fate, besides...Jiang Meiying now also knows that her daughter is not short of money.

These are not the point, the point is... Xia Xiaohong is now the backbone of the Jiang family, no matter what she says; basically no one will object, and this time Jiang Meiying is no exception.

Besides... In Jiang Meiying's heart, uh... it should be in the hearts of many people, especially in rural areas; publishing books can only be published by those who are educated and number one, which is a great honor; to be straightforward, that is, This is a good thing for Guangzong Yaozu.

"That's okay, just do what Xia Xia told you!" Jiang Meiying nodded very straightforwardly without thinking.

Come on, He Youxin saw that Xia Xiaohong's mother had already agreed; he naturally had no other opinions: "That's fine, let's all sign the contract." He Youxin took out the pre-prepared contract from the bag. Contract; by the way, I have slightly revised the previous column about manuscript fees.

Jiang Meiying knew her level, whether she wanted it or not; as a mother, it was only natural that she worried that her daughter would suffer and be cheated. She accepted the contract and sent it to Ye Zihui angrily: "Here, help me take a look; If there is no problem, then I will sign it."

Ye Zihui was overjoyed, uh...he didn't expect that Jiang Meiying would hand over the contract to him; does this mean that everything is developing in a good way?
"Why are you in a daze, why don't you take a quick look; don't you see people waiting?" Jiang Meiying gave Ye Zihui an angry look.

"Yingzi, don't worry, I'll just watch." The smile on Ye Zihui's face never disappeared.

After the conversation in the afternoon, Ye Zihui already felt that Xia Xiaohong was a bit wise and close to a demon; now, when he looked at the dividend plan written in the contract about the remuneration, Ye Zihui couldn't help but feel Xia Xiaohong's other words Eye to eye; this little girl is really not simple!

At the same time, Ye Zihui secretly rejoiced that Yingzi had such a heaven-defying daughter; even if the capital knew about her and Yingzi's affairs in the future, they probably wouldn't object so strongly!
