Chapter 23: The price is funny

"Jiangcheng Chuangwen Media Group?"

Qin Dalei muttered and asked, "Is there anything to find me?"

Jiangcheng Chuangwen Media Group, Qin Dalei has heard of it, and it is also a large-scale cultural media company in Jiangnan Province.

It's just that what Qin Dalei doesn't know is that this company and the Jiangcheng Publishing House, where Qu Jiayang is located, are actually rivals.

When Qu Jiayang and Jiang Lin'er heard Qin Dalei muttering the name of this company, they couldn't help frowning.

Lin Yushuang and Xia Qingyan saw that Qu Jiayang's reaction was a little wrong.

"Mr. Qin, is it like this, are you the author of the fantasy novel "The Hobbit" serialized on the fantasy world, Mr. Jiuyi Qin?"

On the phone, the man asked.

"Oh, the author is my son. Qin Dalei replied truthfully.

"Oh, oh......"

Obviously, the person on the other end of the phone was directly confused.

As the editor-in-chief of the publishing department of Chuangwen Media Group, Lu Wen got the contact information of the author of "The Hobbit" on the official website of Fantasy World.

But this adult said that the work was written by his son?

At that time, when Qin Junhao serialized "The Hobbit" on the official website of Fantasy World, the author ID [Mr. Jiuyi Qin] was registered by himself.

However, real-name authentication is required to upload articles.

So Qin Junhao asked his father Qin Dalei to help him carry out real-name authentication, so the mobile phone number left was of course Qin Dalei's.

"What's wrong? The novel 'The Hobbit' was indeed written by my son. Qin Dalei emphasized again.

"Oh, I know, it's nothing, it's nothing, then may I ask Mr. Qin, how old is your son this year?"

On the other end of the phone, after Lu Wen calmed down, he continued to ask.

"My son, he is more than eight years old this year, almost nine years old. ”

Rumble!

Lu Wen's mind was instantly stunned, as if he had been empowered by thunder.

"Sir, you are making a ...... joke" Lu Wen almost didn't believe that what Mr. Qin said was true.

How could that be.

His eight- or nine-year-old son wrote "The Hobbit", a fantasy novel with the potential to be a big hit?

I believe you're a ghost!

You Mr. Jiuyi Qin is very bad!

"Well, I'm not kidding, this 'The Hobbit' was indeed written by my son, and if I had to say that I was involved, then I just proofread it with the child's mother. ”

Qin Dalei knew that the other side might not believe it.

"Oh, that's it, Mr. Qin, what about our Chuangwen Media Group... Belch... Do you know our company?"

Lu Wen deliberately emphasized his company and asked specifically.

"Chuangwen Media, our cultural company in Jiangcheng, right? ”

"That's good, what about our Chuangwen Media Group, for your... Your son's "The Hobbit" is very optimistic, and we have the intention of publishing it, and we can give a price of at least 50 yuan for 1,000 words, and want to buy the simplified physical publishing copyright of "The Hobbit". ”

According to the meaning of the editor-in-chief Liu Changfeng, Lu Wen threw an olive branch to the author.

"Buying the copyright of the simplified physical publication? Wait, how much money did you just say?" Qin Dalei suddenly frowned when he heard this.

"Yes, yes, yes, it is the copyright of simplified physical publishing, the price is at least 50 thousand words, or even higher, these are easy to talk about. ”

Qin Dalei is a university mathematics professor, if he is not mistaken.

50 yuan per thousand words is a buyout price, right?

50 yuan for 1,000 words, 500 yuan for 10,000 words, 5,000 yuan for 100,000 words, and my son's "The Hobbit" is about 230,000 words, which means that the other party wants to spend more than 10,000 yuan to buy the simplified physical publishing copyright of "The Hobbit"?

"Not for sale!"

Qin Dalei replied categorically, then snapped and hung up the phone.

That is, Qin Dalei is a quality person, and he did not add the word "roll" at the end.

"Chuangwen Media? They also want to buy the simplified physical publishing rights of Xiao Junhao's "The Hobbit"?"

Qu Jiayang looked at Qin Dalei and asked.

As the opponent of Chuangwen Media, Qu Jiayang could have imagined that Chuangwen Media Group would take action at "The Hobbit", which exploded on the fantasy world platform.

I just didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Yes, it's Chuangwen Media Group, the one in our Jiangcheng, the editor-in-chief of Qu, you should know, right?" Qin Dalei replied.

"Lao Qin, what are the conditions on the side of Chuangwen Media? If the conditions on the side of Chuangwen are much higher than those of our Jiangcheng Publishing House, our side will definitely respect your choice, after all, we have not signed a contract between us. ”

Qu Jiayang said to Qin Dalei with an upright attitude.

Qin Junhao's "The Hobbit" was published in simplified Chinese by Jiangcheng Publishing House, with a first print run of 20,000 copies.

These are currently only negotiated between Qu Jiayang and Qin Junhao's parents.

No formal contract has yet been formed.

If the conditions given by Chuangwen Media Group are more generous, Qu Jiayang will see if he can fight for it again.

I really can't win it, so Qu Jiayang can only let go.

"They say, 50 yuan for 1,000 words?" Qin Dalei muttered: "I calculated, 50 yuan for 1,000 words, isn't that just more than 10,000 yuan, the first batch of printing by your Jiangcheng Publishing House is 20,000 copies, 35 yuan each, and the royalty is 9%, which is more than 30,000 yuan." ”

Qin Dalei simply calculated an account.

"What? 50 yuan for 1,000 words?"

When Qu Jiayang heard this price, he was shocked and couldn't laugh or cry.

Even Jiang Lin'er shook her head incredulously, and then said: "Chuangwen Media is still the same Chuangwen Media, do you treat people as fools, this price is just for fun." ”

"That's right, I want to buy out the simplified physical publishing copyright for more than 10,000 yuan, which definitely can't be sold, and besides, we have negotiated it here, even if Chuangwen Media offers a higher price, then I will cooperate with you. ”

Qin Dalei is still very sensible.

Even if the money from Chuangwen Media Group is more than 30,000 yuan, 50,000 yuan or something, Qin Dalei is not willing.

After all, the relationship between the two families here has reached this level, and Xia Qingyan is still matchmaking, and they are very satisfied with the publication matters.

"You're right, son?"

Qin Dalei lowered his head and looked at his son Qin Junhao and said.

Qin Junhao nodded: "The matter of publishing, please ask Uncle Qu." ”

"Hahaha, Xiao Junhao, don't worry, if the first batch of printing sells well, it will be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of copies published in the future, and a book with huge potential like yours "The Hobbit" will sell many times better than buying out. ”

Qu Jiayang said with a laugh.

Jiang Lin'er also analyzed the situation and said: "Let's put it this way, even if Chuangwen Media bids 500 yuan for 1,000 words, it is not as good as selling sales!"
