Silver Blue Book Stack.

An office.

The editor-in-chief Lu Bei was about to go to the conference room for a meeting, when he suddenly saw the old bear like a heavy tank, panting and running over.

"what happened?"

Lu Bei quickly avoided.

Old Xiong leaned on the door and panted for a while before he could speak: "I just sent you Chu Kuang's new book, you must read it!"

"Chu Kuang's new book?"

Lu Bei moved in his heart and nodded. Seeing that Lao Zhou started to gasp again, he didn't say much, and went straight to the conference room.

This is an internal meeting.

A certain leader was talking about a certain copywriter, but Lu Bei suddenly remembered what Lao Xiong had just said, so he took out his cell phone and secretly opened the new book Chu Kuang he had just sent.

Lu Bei liked Chu Kuang very much.

The short story "The Gift of the Magi" written by Chu Kuang last time moved Lu Bei into a mess. He even gave up work during the Chinese New Year and went back to spend the Spring Festival with his family. Since then, Lu Bei has been paying attention to Chu Kuang's work. .

"Zhu Xian?"

The name of the novel this time is quite domineering. Thinking about this, Lu Bei started to read it quietly. Anyway, such high-level meetings are always smelly and long, and it is impossible to end without a few hours.

Just be careful not to be caught.

It is not the first time that Lu Bei has deserted in a conference room. He has never overturned a car, because he does not keep his head down reading novels, and occasionally pretends to listen to the meeting report carefully, nodding his head from time to time, and even sternly tapping on the keyboard of his notebook. , As if making meeting minutes——

In fact, all the codes are garbled.

The kind that programmers dare not recognize.

But this time Lu Bei was careless. He didn't expect "Zhu Xian" to be so magical. He was completely absorbed after watching it for ten minutes. He even forgot to knock the garbled code that pretended to be a meeting record, and even someone next to him called himself. To:

"Editor in chief?"

"Editor in chief?"

In the end, the talkative leader became anxious and slapped the table severely, his voice was very angry: "Lu Bei!"

"what?"

Only then did Lu Bei recover, and he couldn't help but smile, reluctantly put down his mobile phone, most of the high-level people present were equal to him, if it wasn't for anger, the other party wouldn't even call his name directly.

The meeting continues.

Lu Bei was uncomfortable.

He wanted to keep watching, because he was full of the plot of "Zhu Xian", and he couldn't help but look forward to the next development. He didn't listen to a word of what was talked about in this meeting. He just wanted to end the meeting quickly. Good to go back and continue reading.

"The meeting is over!"

Finally, the meeting ended.

Lu Bei hurriedly walked out of the conference room and took out his mobile phone to make a call to Lao Xiong, only to find that Lao Xiong was standing at the door waiting for him, in a rather eager tone: "Are we going to mention Chu Kuang's contract? "

"How many before?"

"Seven percent."

"Mention ten percent."

Lu Bei didn’t hesitate to speak. This is the price of many established best-selling authors. It stands to reason that Chu Kuang’s fame is almost meaningless for the time being, but Lu Bei is sure that Chu Kuang’s new book will never be less popular than the previous "Net King" "Although he has only watched not much content now.

"understood."

Old Xiong was not surprised.

His first reaction after reading "Zhu Xian" is that this novel is going to be popular.

Old Xiong never thought that Xianxia novels could be written like this!

He was shocked!

This is why he rushed out of the meeting room crazy before!

He has to come out in person to greet various departments such as the Propaganda Department and the Publishing Department, and he needs to attract the attention of the editor-in-chief so that the editor-in-chief understands how good this novel is.

"correct."

Just as the old bear was about to leave, Lu Bei suddenly became a little angry and said, "Last time I asked you to make a signature of Chu Kuang, why didn't you get it?"

The old bear stagnated.

He completely forgot about it, and he believes that the editor-in-chief also forgot about it, but the appearance of "Zhu Xian" reminded the other party again.

...

Naturally, Lin Yuan didn't know the response of "Zhu Xian" in the editorial department, but he received a call from Yang Feng when he was over from school at night.

"Teacher Chu Kuang!"

Yang Feng clearly noticed that the tone he spoke with Chu Kuang became more and more humble: "Your new writing is simply amazing. The company is considering publishing the first volume of "Zhu Xian" next month. I don't know your opinion. how is it?"

It was not like this before.

If it was before, Yang Feng would probably say something like this: "Chu Kuang, congratulations, your novel has passed the review of our editorial department, and our company will arrange the publication of this novel next month."

The meaning is the same.

The attitude is different.

Naturally, Lin Yuan couldn't hear the subtle change in the opponent's attitude.

As always, he said simply and concisely: "It can be published, when will the contract be signed?"

"That's it!"

Yang Feng smiled and said: "The company has decided to increase the royalties for your novels to 10%. This is a very high price in the industry. What else do you need us to do..."

"well!"

Lin Yuan raised his tone subconsciously.

Yang Feng was a little surprised. Didn't Chu Kuang not love money? How could he hear that royalties could increase prices, and he was so excited?

Yes.

Money has many meanings.

Probably what Mr. Chu Kuang cares about is not the increase in royalties, but the company's recognition of his writing prowess, and the company's sincerity expressed through money!

Money has a price.

Sincerity is priceless.

What's more, what he wrote this time was the theme of Xianxia, ​​and he must have been under a certain amount of psychological pressure when he created it. Naturally, he needed various forms of recognition.

Thought of this.

Yang Feng smiled and said: "You can be satisfied, and you must be notified. The company will start the pre-sale promotion of "Zhu Xian" soon!"

"Ok."

"That's it?"

"so be it."

Lin Yuan hung up, feeling very good.

Yinlan Library is always able to actively raise prices, which makes Lin Yuan very satisfied.

It seems that choosing to continue to cooperate with Yinlan Library is indeed a good decision.

Should the price be raised in the future?

I have to ask my sister what to say later.

Sister Lin Xuan is an expert in the publishing industry, and she should understand it better.

Speaking of which, Lin Yuan also considered taking "Zhu Xian" to his sister's publishing house.

However, after Lin Yuan's investigation, he found that his sister's publishing house was not large enough and certainly not as good as Yinlan Bookstore in terms of making money, so Lin Yuan gave up.

Of course it is more important to make money than to make money for my sister.

As for my sister, it's a big deal to make money on my own side and share some of her.

In fact, she worked hard to earn performance for higher wages, and Lin Yuan still understood the reason.

My sister definitely likes money more.

Is there anyone in this world who doesn't like money?

And it was the night Lin Yuan and Yang Feng finished talking.

The official website of Yinlan Library finally revealed the news that the author Chu Kuang was about to release a new book in July, which can be regarded as a pre-heating mode for new book promotion.

The news came out.

Chu Kuang's book fans are excited!
