Chapter 76: Sahara Online Bookstore? (4/4, for the helmsman "Ninth Y Reincarnation")
sent Murphy away, but Yang Yi ushered in a new guest the next day.
The deputy manager of the copyright department of Qi Yue, as well as the managers of several publishing houses that he accompanied, came to Yang Yi's coffee shop. This time, Yang Yi didn't invite them to drink the best coffee anymore, like his treasured Blue Mountain and Mandheling, they were all put away, and the simple mocha was mixed with milk and sugar cubes, and it was also appreciated.
Obviously, there is a lot of slap in the ass!
Yang Yi smiled and said nothing, secretly glad in his heart.
When it comes to negotiation, Yang Yi is not a good player, and his best helper Guo Ziyi, although this little fat man has finished the college entrance examination, he gave Yang Yi a phone call with a smile, and followed the classmates in the class to go on a graduation tour, naturally he couldn't count on it.
However, although Yang Yi didn't know much about negotiation, he brought a magical skill from his previous life - pretending! and pretending to be like something, as soon as he began to negotiate, he put on a confident appearance, and asked several publishing houses to show him the conditions they had prepared in the form of secret labels.
"I hope we can all be honest, I will choose the final publishing house according to your conditions, and then conduct detailed negotiations, so as to avoid wasting everyone's time!" Yang Yi said with a final smile.
The managers of the publishing house looked at each other, and it was the first time they had encountered such an author!
"Manager Huang, is this a bit of a problem?" one of the managers couldn't help but ask the person who read it.
"I don't think so!" chimed in another manager.
Deputy Manager Huang of the copyright department shook his head with a wry smile, and he said, "I think it's OK...... Ahem, that's right, because we have negotiated with Mr. Yang Yi, and he reserves the right to make the final decision on the transaction of physical publishing copyright, so let's talk about it according to Mr. Yang Yi's request......"
"You can think about it, if you don't want to participate in this bidding, it doesn't matter, we can't make a deal, and the friendship is still there!" Yang Yi also looked like he didn't let go.
He didn't know what conditions the other party could give, but Yang Yi decided that his book, whether it was "Soldier Assault" or "Bright Sword", as long as it was out of the entity, it would definitely sell well!
This is what has been tested by the market in the previous life!
In the era when piracy was rampant, "Bright Sword" published in the new century could still sell more than 400,000 copies within six or seven years, which shows how high its value is!
In this world with a strong sense of copyright, Yang Yi can already foresee the prospect of his two so-called "online novels" and the sales of physical books.
So I have the confidence to negotiate without fear of others lifting the table!
Sure enough, after the managers of several publishing houses looked at each other, the manager who was the most cheerful picked up the paper and pen first, and the others also flocked to each other, almost scrambling.
In the end, Yang Yi picked up an envelope, like a broker on the stock exchange, and said loudly: "Sahara Press, Mr. Lu, congratulations, we can talk about it in further detail!"
A thin, messy man stood up in surprise, he raised his hand and said, "I, I'm Mr. Lu!"
But Yang Yi's choice caused an uproar in the audience, including Deputy Manager Huang who read it.
"Is there any mistake?" the manager, who had just been the most cheerful, jumped out again, and exclaimed angrily, "What conditions does the Sahara offer you? I don't believe that a small publishing house like theirs can offer better terms than several of our big publishing houses!"
"I'm sorry to reveal this to you. Yang Yi smiled and refused.
Deputy Manager Huang couldn't help but stand up, and he said: "Mr. Yang Yi, although it is not suitable for me to interject at this time, should you think about it again? In terms of scale, the Sahara is indeed smaller than the other three, even if the conditions for you are better at present, but in the long run, it is difficult to compare the benefits it gives you in terms of sales compared with the other three!"
"It's just that this vision is too short-sighted!" the other three managers all echoed.
That skinny Mr. Lu actually didn't have much hope when he saw the other three competitors, but now that he was selected, he was as happy as if he had won the prize!
But now that Deputy Manager Huang and others said this, he became nervous again, for fear that the duck in his mouth would fly again, he hurriedly said: "Although the scale of our publishing house is not large, we are very sincere, Mr. Yang, we can talk about the conditions just now!"
Yang Yi raised his hand to calm them down, and he said lightly: "Actually, the reason why I chose the Sahara is not only that the conditions they gave are very sincere, but also a very important factor, that they have advantages that the other three do not have. ”
At this moment, everyone is completely confused, doesn't it mean that the Sahara is smaller than the other three?
"What?" asked the one who screamed the most.
"The Sahara has one more channel than you can sell physical books online. Yang Yi said lightly.
In fact, Yang Yi is not calm, because the online shopping model in this world is only a small sign, and there is no big website like Taobao in the previous life.
Yang Yi was somewhat surprised by the prospect of the Sahara Publishing House, whose boss had set up a website that sold physical books online, where readers could pay for books by registered mail or bank transfer, and then send them out to readers through the library.
This model is very similar to Yang Yi's early excellence, 99 and Dangdang in his previous life!
It can be said that it is the prototype of an online bookstore!
"What's the difference between this and online novels? Hehe, this kind of online sales, you can't sell a few copies a month, and readers have to bother to mail the book fee, it's not as good as us, our family has something to do with several large chain bookstores in the Far East and China......" There are always people who are still stuck in the old mode of thinking, and they laugh at Yang Yi's choice.
But Yang Yi's choice did not change, and he calmly said sorry to the other party.
In the end, only Yang Yi and Mr. Lu were left in the coffee shop. Everyone else left the scene angrily, and even Deputy Manager Huang smiled bitterly, arched his hand towards Yang Yi, and then chased after him.
Deputy Manager Huang thinks that the profits from the physical sales of Yang Yi's books are harmless, but he has to deal with these publishers, after all, online literature is still only a weak party, and the publishing house has a lot of resources, and there are still many things that need to be cooperated with each other!
"So, let's ......" Mr. Lu, who had messy hair, was a little cramped, and didn't dare to touch the new coffee that Yang Yi brought him, and said nervously.
"Then let's talk about what conditions I need to invest in your publishing house!" Yang Yi waved his hand and said with a slight smile.
This momentum immediately scared Mr. Lu stupid.
I don't know how Mr. Lu would feel if he learned that Yang Yi's savings were actually less than hundreds of thousands, but he still wanted to invest in other people's publishing houses so domineeringly......
