Chapter 209: Li Hu's Phone

The reason why Frogfish hung up the phone so quickly and didn't entangle with Zhang Xiaoqiang was because he never thought that Zhang Xiaoqiang would refuse so simply after he said so much.

thought that the price of expulsion of 12 million would be expulsion, and there would be a copyright share in the later stage, Zhang Xiaoqiang would be eager to agree.

This time, he and Li Hu, the president of Shanda Network, have already made a package ticket, with a price of up to eight million, plus a share, Zhang Xiaoqiang will definitely agree, but Zhang Xiaoqiang refused.

At first, Frogfish only said five million, then said 10 million, and finally said 12 million, that was because he wanted Zhang Xiaoqiang to take advantage.

Twelve million, plus all the copyright shares, is not low for a collection of short stories with only 700,000.

This 12 million is equivalent to a white prostitute, even if the top fantasy writer is now, after the novel is adapted into the game, he only took 6 million, and it is still a novel with millions of words.

Zhang Xiaoqiang's refusal made Frogfish a little overwhelmed, and after hanging up the phone, Frogfish hurriedly called Li Hu.

"Frogfish, is the contract over?" seemed to know when Frogfish called, and as soon as it was connected, Li Hu asked with a smile. He also read Zhang Xiaoqiang's book of Talking about Zhai Zhiwei, and he forgot to sleep and eat, and read it for three days and three nights.

Li Hu can't put it down, he has a hunch, or confidence, once the book is born, it will definitely become the most classic collection of short stories in the online literature industry.

Hearing Li Hu's words, Frogfish felt a hot pain on his face, he had sworn a few days ago that Li Hu had sworn that Zhang Xiaoqiang would definitely sign the contract smoothly, but he didn't expect the price to be raised to 12 million, Zhang Xiaoqiang still didn't agree.

12 million is the best price Li Hu is willing to pay.

"Mr. Li, Zhang Xiaoqiang seems to be bent on taking a share, and he is not impressed by the price of 12 million, I told him a lot of good things..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Hu interrupted him: "You mean, Zhang Xiaoqiang doesn't agree to sign a contract?"

"Yes. ”

Li Hu began to frown: "It's already such a high price, why hasn't he agreed yet?"

"Mr. Li, Zhang Xiaoqiang is bent on signing shares. ”

"Crazy, really crazy, it's just 700,000 words, and he has given him 12 million, and he still doesn't want to sign a contract, is he so confident in his work?"

"Yes, he is very confident, Mr. Li, what should we do next?"

"I'll give Zhang Xiaoqiang a call in person. After Li Hu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

In the rental house, Zhang Xiaoqiang was also a little undecided, to be honest, the price of 12 million had already moved him, you know, these 700,000 words were just the result of his three months. As long as the contract is signed, even if there is no share in the later stage, it will be four million per month. Carefully calculated, it is a terrifying 170,000 per thousand words!

Several times, he wanted to pick up his phone and tell Frogfish that he wanted to sign a contract, but each time he held back, because there was always a voice in his heart telling him that he must take a long-term view, and this book will definitely bring him a lot of profits.

Jingle bells!

At this time, the mobile phone rang, Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at it, it was an unfamiliar number from other places, and he mistakenly thought it was a scam call, so he didn't even think about hanging up directly.

It was only less than five seconds before the bell rang again.

This time, Zhang Xiaoqiang answered, and was ready to spray the other party.

However, as soon as it was connected, a smiling voice came from the other side: "Hello, Xiaoqiang, I heard that you are not satisfied with the price offered to you by Frogfish?"

"You are?"

"Oh, my name is Li Hu, the president of Shanda Network, you can just call me Brother Li. ”

Shanda Network?Li Hu?

Zhang Xiaoqiang reacted, some time ago, Shanda Network had acquired Singularity Novel Network, so in this way, the Li Hu who called him was the real big boss of Singularity Novel Network.

"It turned out to be Mr. Li, is there something wrong?" Although he asked like this, Zhang Xiaoqiang immediately judged that the purpose of the other party's call must have come from the book Chat Zhai Zhiyi.

"Don't call me Mr. Li, how good it is for you to call me Brother Li or Lao Li, it sounds kind!"

"Hehe, Brother Li!"

"Hey, how good is this!" After a pause, Li Hu continued to speak: "Xiaoqiang, you are not very old, and you are still a student, but you can write such a good book, it really shocks me, I have already read your manuscript, two words, classic, three words, very classic, hehe!"

Li Hu said playfully: "Xiaoqiang, you also know the strength of Shanda Network, not only in the field of online literature, but also in the fields of film and television animation and even games, we have dabbled in, and our Shanda Network intends to go public in half a year, the strength should not be underestimated, after the signing of the book of Liaozhai Zhiwei in the singularity, we plan to carry out brand promotion and make it into a signboard of the website, not to let people mention Liaozhai, they can think of the singularity, but when they mention the singularity, they can think of Liaozhai!"

"Of course, the price that Frogfish gives you is indeed a little less, I think it's good, fifteen million, six cents unchanged, and all the promotion costs of the website for this book will not be deducted from the income of the book, all paid by the website, do you think this is good?"

Fifteen million, this price, has made many people unable to refuse.

is only 700,000 words, and none of the most popular fantasy novels today has created such high profits.

Even Li Hu felt that Zhang Xiaoqiang would not refuse anymore.

However, what he didn't expect was that when he said the price, Zhang Xiaoqiang was not moved, but said in a light tone: "Brother Li, you can call me, I am really moved, but I still think that it is better for me to sign this book, at first I want to hold all the copyright in my own hands, and secondly, you don't have to pay fifteen million, and if the book does not achieve the expected effect, you don't have to take any risks." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Hu was petrified on the spot.

He didn't understand where Zhang Xiaoqiang's strong self-confidence came from.

"Do you really don't think about it anymore? I admit that your book is very well written, but no matter how good a book is, he needs an excellent platform to develop, and now, Singularity Novel Network is a dominant company in the online literature industry, if you have another platform, your book, it is very likely that there will be no results. ”

"Brother Li, I have made up my mind, so don't persuade me anymore. ”

"Well, good luck. ”

Li Hu hung up the phone after speaking.
