The king of all people

Chapter 174 Xiao Yun's Sturdy Bargaining Ability

In fact, when Li Xianxuan serialized "Gu Jian Qi Tan" on Sina blog, he didn't intend to make a lot of money from this book. Originally, he planned to promote this story to a wider range through long-term reader accumulation.

He has always had an idea in his mind that when he has the ability to produce film and television dramas by himself, he will shoot a work that is "created" by himself from head to toe.But at least for now, he doesn't have this strength.

Due to being busy with film and TV drama promotion, Li Xian entrusted his agent Xiao Yun to negotiate with Hailan Publishing House on the physical copyright of "Gu Jian Qi Tan".

He doesn't care whether this novel, which has been serialized in hundreds of thousands of words, can be sold for a sky-high copyright amount. Of course, if the other party is willing to buy it at a high price, it will be a icing on the cake for him.

In the early morning of October 10th, when the first-day box office of "Shaolin Soccer"'s most powerful competitor "Frozen Heart" was about to be released on the national day, the busy Xiao Yun interviewed Jia Ke, who came all the way from Chengdu with publishing experience. .

Jia Ke's first impression on Xiao Yun was not bad. Up close, he looked like a slightly thinner peer in a professional suit.

However, Xiao Yun was a little surprised that this mature-oriented man turned out to be a chick, and he spoke in a soft voice, as if there was phlegm stuck in his throat, and the listeners felt blocked. uncomfortable.Several times, she couldn't help but want to slap him on the face and correct his sissy voice for him...

"Ms. Xiao Yun, first of all, let me explain something. Today, I came to BJ with a very sincere attitude after traveling thousands of kilometers. Indeed, our Hailan Publishing House in Chengdu is just a It’s not a humble small manufacturer, but it’s an existence that no one cares about in the industry across the country...”

Jia Ke didn't care about Xiao Yun's opinion of his voice at all, and went straight to the question with a sincere tone.

"I'm sure you've heard the saying that a big shop deceives customers, but a small shop is honest. I believe that if the copyright of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is sold to domestic first-line publishers, 90.00% of them will achieve extraordinary sales results. But said To be honest, big companies like them don’t care about your background or status, and they all rely on your achievements. Besides, the books published by these publishing houses are all serious, old-fashioned, and preaching-oriented, which may not be suitable for you. Mr. Li Xian's "Gu Jian Qi Tan" can be said to create a new genre of online novels."

Jia Ke first generously praised his peers in the industry, expressing his generosity.Afterwards, he smiled lightly and casually mentioned the hidden risks. What he meant was not difficult to understand. He wanted to tell Xiao Yun that although their Hailan Publishing House is small, they will definitely use all their efforts to manage it. The book "Ancient Sword and Strange Tan".

"Uh... I'm not very good at these professional things, but I have something to explain to Mr. Jia. "Gu Jian Qi Tan" was originally a novel that Xiaoxian serialized on the Internet out of interest. We have never considered the issue of physical publishing before. Besides, the business focus of this novel is on the Internet, and it is basically posted in the popular column on the homepage of Sina all the year round." Xiao Yun didn't make a fuss, and said bluntly as usual. .

Jia Ke suddenly raised his eyebrows in embarrassment, and at the same time, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.This woman named Xiao Yun looks gentle and delicate, revealing a little sexy tone vaguely, but she didn't expect her words to be aggressive without any sting... What she meant just now was clearly to remind herself that "Ancient Times" They don't care whether "Sword of Legends" can be published, or whether they can achieve results after publication!
"Don't worry... maybe our Hailan Publishing House is in a rather embarrassing situation now. To be honest, we are even facing the risk of bankruptcy. But the whole staff of our publishing house is unanimously optimistic about this novel. Use all channels to promote him. How about it? Give us the physical publishing rights of "Gu Jian Qi Tan"..."

Jia Ke's state of mind was very urgent, and his tone of voice was also unspeakably nervous and hesitant. He was worried that Xiao Yun would really reject his request... So, before Xiao Yun could answer, he gritted his teeth and read the whole picture. The expression on the face has undergone a huge 180-degree change.

"I'm begging you, big sister, my dear big sister!" Jia Ke put down the copywriting in his hand, and began to play rogue, crying.One mouthful and one elder sister, the eldest sister shocked Xiao Yun to the extreme, and the expression on her face was unusually wonderful...

This time, Jia Ke was going all out to pray to Xiao Yun. He didn't believe that a woman would be so cold-blooded and ruthless that she would treat her tears as nothing... Compared with the life and death issues of Hailan Publishing House, his own face is nothing but an insignificant thing.

Which is more important, Jia Ke is very clear in his heart.

"You...!" Xiao Yun looked around cautiously, making sure no one noticed them, and said helplessly, "I give in to you! A 30-year-old man is not ashamed to cry. I thought you were 'big sister' and I bullied you. How about this, I can give you the publishing rights of "Gu Jian Qi Tan", but you have to show enough sincerity in terms of price."

When Jia Ke heard Xiao Yun's affirmative answer, he jumped up and cheered in a conditioned reaction, and then he became strangely stunned.He felt that he had underestimated the woman in front of him. Her business sense was clear and orderly, and she would not take any advantage because of personal feelings.Even at this time, she was able to talk about the price unabashedly...and this is precisely the focus of today's topic.

"You also know, Eldest Sister... Our Hailan Publishing House has been short of funds recently, and I am indeed sincere, but we really can't afford a too high price. How about this, 30 yuan for a thousand words, Eldest Sister, do you think it is reasonable?" Jia Ke completely abandoned his integrity, and called out more and more "affectionately".

Who knows, when Xiao Yun heard the price, she frowned tightly, even a fool could see the dissatisfaction in her eyes.Calculate carefully, 30 words for 300 words, 50 words for 1 words, and now "Gu Jian Qi Tan" serializes about [-] words, that is to say, you can only get more than [-] yuan if you read it all. , and a little too shabby.

This is simply dismissing beggars!
"You're being sincere, right? Even if our Xiaoxian went to the countryside three times to go through the motions, he won more than [-] appearance fees, right? How do you ask me to promise you?" Xiao Yun didn't like to beat around the bush, so she refused directly. The "low price" of a thousand words and thirty.

"...It can't be calculated like this. I don't deny Mr. Li Xian's current ability to attract money. Perhaps even a small item of his can sell for dozens of times higher than this price. But you should know, big sister, that book publishing and other The industry is different, what we earn is a piece of paper, a pile of money... Besides, once the sales of this book are amazing, there will definitely be other peripheral copyrights coming to your door. At that time, what you will gain is not only The copyright price of a thousand words and thirty words!"

Jia Ke is not lying. The publishing industry is indeed different from other entertainment industries. This industry is a long-term fishing business. The longer the vision, the better.Of course, although the truth is correct, he was secretly thinking about how much more the price could be raised. After all, in the current situation, their Hailan Publishing House was on the passive side.
