Wu Ming looked at it twice and simply stood up and gave up his chair: "You sit and change, I'll talk to your father over there." ”

Pushing the chair and letting Li Yiming sit, Wu Ming walked to the window and looked at the thick shade growing downstairs, and there were still a few birds chirping in the forks.

"Jianguo, are you going to run away with your child all the time?"

"I can only take it first, let him see more society, and he also brings textbooks and learns by himself. ”

Wu Ming exhaled a long breath: "It's not a long-term solution, I'll help you think of a way when you go back." ”

"I won't need it for a while, just wait a year. Li Jianguo looked at the birds outside the window, "After the child comes out, you can think about what you want to do in the future, and when he thinks about it, he will go back to school to learn things." ”

"One year..."Wu Ming looked back at Li Yiming, who was sitting there very focused, "It's not impossible, this kid is very attentive, and he should learn things quickly." In fact, if you write well, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life. I'm very optimistic about his series!"

"Well, he writes very quickly. Li Jianguo smiled, he had seen his son's speed, and he was not worried about this at all.

"It's good that you take him around like this, but you also have to pay attention to safety. Wu Ming said with concern.

Li Jianguo nodded: "I know this, Yiming is also sensible, and he won't let me worry too much." ”

"Where will you go next?"

"I'm going to Shencheng soon, let's see if there is a chance to go to Xiangjiang next. ”

"Xiangjiang?" Wu Ming turned her head in surprise, "Why do you want to go abroad?"

Yiming wanted to take a look, saying that there were some things that had to be bought back from there. Li Jianguo exhaled and looked at Wu Ming, "Something that can't be made in China." Machines, seedlings, technology ......"

Wu Ming furrowed her brows tightly: "How can this matter be done by relying on a child and having to be done by the state." ”

"He's also an idea, just go and see, it's an investigation!" Li Jianguo took a puff of cigarette, "Whether you can go or not!"

"Uncle Wu, I've changed it. Li Yiming stood up and walked out and handed the manuscript to Wu Ming.

He was very happy that the two very important plots that were added at the end had not changed much, and the rare earth resources and the fire in a certain ridge had not been touched.

Perhaps in Wu Ming's eyes, national resources should be protected in this way, and the production safety must also be reminded, as for whether these should be written in fairy tales, this is no longer a problem.

After Wu Ming sat back in the chair, he looked through the manuscript, nodded with satisfaction, or changed something according to his opinion, he knocked on the table: "By the way, Yiming, the manuscript fee is now ten yuan per thousand words, I haven't counted it, there is probably more than a thousand yuan." And that royalty, I can fight for eight percent. ”

"Uncle Wu, I said I didn't want to. As long as the price of the book is as low as possible. ”

Wu Ming frowned and looked at him: "Do you know how much this is?"

He looked at Li Jianguo again: "Even if one copy is a penny, 100,000 copies are 1,000 yuan, Jianguo, how much is your annual salary? These are two copies, and they will be reprinted." ”

Li Jianguo smiled: "Yiming said no, then how can I say yes, this is his book." ”

"You two have a ,... temper" Wu Ming sighed, took off her glasses a little helplessly, took out a handkerchief and wiped it, "No one said no." ”

"No matter how much money it is, I don't want it, if you have to give it, just give me a penny. Li Yiming thought for a while, "The more you print, the better." The cheaper the price, the better. ”

"A penny... Oh, what's the difference between that and robbing you. As for the price, this country also has regulations, either you want to sell as much as you want. Forget it, you don't understand it. ”

"I know, this is called pricing power, and now this power is in the state, right?" Li Yiming asked.

Wu Ming looked up in amazement: "Pricing power?" is a new word, but it should mean this. In short, according to the cost of printing the book, the price is basically set. Whether it's eight cents or a piece, I can't say for sure. ”

Wu Ming put his hand on the two manuscripts, looked at the father and son in turn, and finally landed on Li Yiming's face, and asked with deep meaning: "Yiming, do you think your book is not worth half a catty of pork?"

"Books are cheaper, and the money left over can be used to buy other things. Li Yiming said softly.

"Forget the royalties, you can count the manuscript fee as 1,000 yuan, and if you spread it out to 30,000 copies, it will be 3/3 more, and if you spread it out to 100,000 copies, it will be an extra penny. Wu Ming tapped his fingers on the table, asked softly, and picked up a box of matches on the table and gestured, "This box is two cents." ”

"Then what if the family is very poor and doesn't buy books because they want to buy an extra box of matches?" Li Yiming asked rhetorically.

“.....”

"It's better to keep a few pennies for them than for me to keep them. I can't give them money one by one. And I'm not short of money right now. My dad... There is a salary. In the future, I will also make money. ”

Li Yiming glanced at Li Jianguo, and Li Jianguo nodded.

Wu Ming let out a long sigh: "Jianguo, close the door." ”
