The next day, when Anne woke up, Lin Weidong had already gotten up, and the position next to him was already cold.

Anne had to sigh in her heart that the young man's recovery ability was really strong, and he didn't sleep much all night, and when he woke up, he became energetic again.

Although Anne usually doesn't have the habit of lying in bed, she is still sleepy because she stayed up late last night, so she turned over and closed her eyes again.

After Lin Weidong finished washing, he came out and saw Anne with half-squinted eyes, knowing that she had woken up, but she was just lying in bed and didn't want to get up.

"Sister Anne, aren't you going to work today?" Lin Weidong walked over and patted her face gently.

"Well, squint for another 5 minutes. Anne took Lin Weidong's hand and rubbed it on her face.

Lin Weidong watched her coquettish movements, his heart softened unconsciously, he picked her up and walked to the bathroom.

Anne felt Jiang Chi's movements, stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around Lin Weidong's neck, and it wasn't until she arrived at the bathroom that she was a little sober, jumped out of Lin Weidong's arms, brushed her teeth and washed her face.

Lin Weidong reached out and rubbed her hair, then went to the living room to smoke a cigarette.

At this moment, the mobile phone rang, and Lin Weidong picked up the mobile phone and saw that it was Du Yuhang's phone number.

"Lonely City, hello, I'm Du Yuhang. ”

This Du Yuhang is the publishing editor of the People's Publishing House, and he has contacted Lin Weidong several times before.

Because Du Yuhang is a person who speaks more easily and is quite polite, Lin Weidong didn't find him annoying.

Moreover, the conditions offered by Du Yuhang are indeed very attractive, and they are more sincere than other publishing houses.

For Lin Weidong, in business, what is the sincerity between people, and price is the bargaining chip that can best represent sincerity.

With Lin Weidong's current fame and appeal, Lin Weidong is now a sweet spot in the eyes of publishers.

If the price offered by the publisher is too low, there is basically no need to talk about it, and Lin Weidong believes that there is no need to waste each other's time.

After the phone was connected, Lin Weidong asked with a smile, "Hello, is there anything wrong?"

Du Yuhang on the other end of the phone said: "Hello Gucheng, I heard that you are in Shanghai, do I have the honor to invite you to lunch?"

"Yes, no problem. Lin Weidong replied very briskly.

After Anne finished washing, she came out of the bathroom, looked at Lin Weidong and said, "What's the matter? Who called you just now?"

Lin Weidong said honestly: "A friend. ”

"Oh. Anne nodded, and then asked, "Then are you going to come back for dinner at noon?"

Lin Weidong said: "If you don't come back, let's eat it again in the evening." ”

Anne said, "Okay, then I'll eat at the company at noon." ”

At 12 noon, Lin Weidong and Du Yuhang made an appointment to meet at a Chinese restaurant.

Du Yuhang is a very young publishing editor, only twenty-eight years old, wearing a pair of eyes, and looking polite.

In front of him, Lin Weidong looked a little different from a social person, no different from an ordinary college student.

Seeing that the meal was almost over, Du Yuhang also began to enter the theme and explained the cooperation plan in detail with Lin Weidong.

"Gucheng, on behalf of the People's Publishing House today, I sincerely want to seek cooperation with you, and hope that we can have the opportunity to publish the Chinese Simplified Chinese version of your next book in the mainland. ”

"As long as you can accept it, I can assure you that the first printing of your next book will reach 50,000 copies, 250,000 words each, and the royalties will be ten percent. ”

"Moreover, we will also pay you 50,000 yuan in advance, and pay for the first printing within a month after publication. If there is an additional print, it will be paid according to the royalty. At this meeting, Du Yuhang told Lin Weidong directly about the conditions, which was more tempting than what he had talked about on the phone before.

However, Lin Weidong didn't say yes, nor did he say no, just listened quietly, smoking and drinking at the same time.

Du Yuhang's publishing house is called the People's Publishing House, and the first printing of 50,000 copies far exceeds Taiwan's print run, but it does not mean that the income is high.

A book has more than 200,000 words, which is equivalent to four times the price of the traditional Chinese version, and the price of the traditional version far exceeds the price of the simplified version.

Generally speaking, a traditional Chinese version with only 65,000 words will sell for more than 40 yuan, and a book with more than 200,000 words in the mainland will only sell for about 20 yuan.

Overall, if the sales volume is about the same, the revenue of the simplified version will actually be lower.

But no matter what, for Lin Weidong now, this is not a problem.

Moreover, Du Yuhang's 10% royalty has exceeded the level of many second-tier writers in China.

On the other hand, the reason why Lin Weidong did not sell the copyright of the next book to Banyan Shuxia was also to gamble, although it was much riskier to do so, but Banyan Shuxia only offered a buyout fee of two or three hundred thousand yuan at most, and he still wanted to fight hard.

Looking at Lin Weidong, who was silent and silent, Du Yuhang felt a little apprehensive, took a sip of wine, and asked with some curiosity: "Gucheng, I have said so much, have you thought about writing the next book?"

Lin Weidong smiled: "I already have some ideas, and I have accumulated some manuscripts recently. ”

In fact, Lin Weidong has been saving the manuscript for more than a month, and whenever he has time, he will devote his time to the creation of "Eighteen-year-old Sky".

Du Yuhang said: "Okay, if you have no problem, we can sign a contract with you now." ”

Lin Weidong said in surprise: "Sign it now, don't you need to wait for me to write out the manuscript, can you read it?"

Du Yuhang said speechlessly: "No need! Look at your current popularity on the Internet, and then look at the sales of the physical book "Flight Attendant", I believe that there must be many publishing houses coming to you for cooperation. ”

"You are now a phenomenal existence under the banyan tree, coupled with the foundation of the two books "E Net Love" and "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant", we are very optimistic about your next book. ”

Lin Weidong smiled: "Then you mean that with my current fame and appeal, the next book will definitely be popular?"

Du Yuhang shrugged his shoulders: "That's basically what it means." I've seen a lot of authors, and almost every author is getting worse and worse the more they write, but you are different, the more you write, the better you get. ”

Lin Weidong thought about it, and also felt that what Du Yuhang said was very reasonable, he felt that he was very similar to Han Han, and now it was like an IP, as long as it was a book written by him, readers would definitely pay for it.

However, looking at Du Yuhang, who began to touch the bag, Lin Weidong was still stunned and asked, "You won't come with a contract, right?"

Du Yuhang smiled and said, "This is called striking while the iron is hot." Don't worry, I've read the contract for you, and there are absolutely no pitfalls. ”

Lin Weidong carefully read the contract, and if there was something he didn't understand, he asked Du Yuhang for leave. felt that there was no problem, so he signed a cooperation with Du Yuhang.

Probably in a good mood, Lin Weidong drank a lot of wine during this meal, and Du Yuhang drank too much directly because of the amount of alcohol.

However, this guy is still very dedicated, the contract has long been collected and put in the bag, and when Lin Weidong sent him away, he didn't forget to hold the bag to death.

For Lin Weidong, "E-Net Love" is the first book that changed his life, originally just for a dream, but now it has finally gradually evolved into a career, which can bring him a good income, everything is like a dream.
