Chapter 65: Surprised Liu Jingchen
Liu Jingchen nodded when she heard this, raised her wrist, looked at her watch, and said, "It's already twelve o'clock! www.biquge.info After speaking, she turned her eyes to the door of the lounge bar, only to see a person pushing the door in, which made her eyes light up. But I was a little stunned, because the person who came was wearing a student's school uniform, and at a glance I knew that it was a student, and it should not be the target person that the boss and himself were waiting for.
……
After Zhang Yu walked into the lounge, a waiter immediately greeted him and said respectfully: "Hello sir, do you have any needs?"
Zhang Yudao: "I'm looking for someone!"
The waiter said, "Okay, please!" After speaking, he turned around and walked away.
Zhang Yu looked around, there were not many people in the leisure bar, and there was a man and a woman sitting on one of the platforms, which should meet the conditions for people from the Vertex Novel Network.
Zhang Yu walked over, came to the side of the two, and said, "May I ask if the two are the editor-in-chief and editor Liu of Vertex Novel Network?"
After Tang Jun heard this, he and Liu Jingchen looked at each other strangely for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, it's us." May I ask who you are?"
Zhang Yu smiled and stretched out his hand, "Hello! I am the author of Xiaoao Jianghu, Zhang Yu." The bow is long and stretched, and the rest is left. It's a pleasure to meet both!"
Tang Jun and Liu Jingchen were a little dumbfounded when they heard this!
What the!
This kid in a school uniform now looks like he's even eighteen years old! He's actually the author of the smiling and proud rivers and lakes, is this true or false? Just kidding!
Zhang Yu saw that the two of them were surprised, and his expression was as if he had seen a ghost, so he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "What! I don't look like an author? Editor Liu, don't you often watch my live broadcasts? You should be able to recognize me at a glance!"
When Tang Jun heard this, he turned to look at Liu Jingchen, and the implication was to confirm the truth of the other party's words.
When Liu Jingchen heard this, she frowned and began to look at Zhang Yu carefully......
Don't say it! If you really run into each other on the road, then you can't recognize him as an octopus himself. After all, when this octopus is live broadcast, he always wears an antique little hat, a mustache, and a pair of round traitor mirrors, so that the ghost can recognize who you are.
But now, if someone suddenly tells himself with great certainty that the boy under the age of eighteen on the other side is the octopus, then if you look carefully, it is indeed very similar, whether it is his body shape, appearance, tone and action, he is a person at all, this is absolutely fake.
Liu Jingchen suddenly realized at this time, and said, "It's really you! My God, you are still a student?"
Zhang Yu smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong with the students? Can't the students be anchors and write novels?"
Tang Jun didn't think about it anymore at this time, stood up, stretched out his palm with a smile on his face and shook it with the other party, and said: "Heroes are not young! Ambition is not in old age! Mr. Zhang is really a young talent, please take a seat." ”
Zhang Yu said a few more polite words, and the three of them sat down as guests.
Tang Jun waited for Zhang Yu to sit down and said, "What does Mr. Zhang want to drink?"
Zhang Yu said: "Bring me a glass of water!"
Tang Jun nodded, called the waiter, and ordered a glass of ice water.
Tang Jun looked at Zhang Yu with a smile and said, "Didn't you ask Mr. Zhang about the geometry of Gui Geng this year?"
Zhang Yu said with a smile: "In the next year, Fang will be 2816 years old, one year old." ”
Tang Jun's eyes flashed stunned, and then he smiled and said: "Young talent! What a young talent! I really didn't expect Mr. Zhang to be so old and so sophisticated and calm, if you really reveal your age, I'm afraid it will shock the literary world!"
Liu Jingchen looked unhappy and said, "Hey, little brother, you said that you are not very old, why do you usually dress yourself up as old-fashioned?" Aren't those honorific titles used in vain?
Zhang Yu knew what the other party was thinking, and said with a smile: "Although I am young, I also know the truth that the wind breaks the high forest trees and the gun shoots the first bird." So I have always adhered to the principle of doing things in a high-profile manner and being a low-key person. What's more, it is always beneficial for you to properly grasp some secrets in your own hands. Look at it, isn't that the truth?"
"High!"
Tang Jun gave a thumbs up when he heard this, and said with admiration: "Although Mr. Zhang is not very old, he is extremely mature. No wonder I can write such an excellent and calm work that laughs proudly! I really admire, admire. If you want to say that my son is the same age as you, but he can compare with you, oops, he can't compare, he can't compare!"
Tang Jun really admired Zhang Yu at this time, and the surprise that this person brought him today was indeed not small.
Liu Jingchen glanced at Zhang Yu and said, "You are old-fashioned! I don't know if you think you are in your fifties." ”
Zhang Yu didn't say anything about his daughter's inexplicable mentality, but smiled slightly, turned to Tang Jun, and said, "I don't know what Chief Tang is here this time! What do you want to talk about? Now that you already know that I am a student, I still have to go to school in the afternoon, and the time at noon is relatively tight." Let's pick something to talk about, shall we?"
Tang Jun nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang, the general situation is like this. As for our company, we are very interested in your 'Smiling Proud Jianghu'. We also know that you are now a gold medal anchor of Feilong.com, and among the writers, you are a high-income person. At the moment, I don't care about the income of the online text copyright of 'Smiling Proud Jianghu'. But from our point of view, if 'Xiaoao Jianghu' is to issue a physical book, there is still a lot of profit margin in it. As for our company, we plan to pay 2 million to buy out the copyright of Xiaoao Jianghu Network and entities for ten years. Approximately, two dollars per word. What do you think of the price?"
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said, "What about this question, I also planned to publish it myself at the beginning. As you know, I have that financial strength right now. In addition, I have also recently conducted some research on the existing physical book market, and for this reason, I also visited some bookstores and asked about the books that have been selling well recently.
Judging from the results of my survey, the sales of books in China this year can be said to be very average. For old writers, 500,000 copies is already the upper limit. As for new writers, it can be said that it is rare to have more than 100,000 or 200,000 copies at a time.
However, I am very confident in my book of 'Smiling Proud Jianghu'. Even if I am a rookie writer, I am confident that I can sell more than 200,000 copies. Based on the calculation of four hardcover volumes of works with millions of words, the price of each set of books is around 60 yuan, and the total sales of 200,000 sets should not be less than 12 million yuan.
Of course, this is the retail price, the wholesale price, and it will definitely not be so much. The main purpose of what I said is that I want Editor-in-Chief Tang to help me answer my questions, how did you calculate the buyout price of these two million?"
Hearing this, Tang Jun looked at Liu Jingchen and secretly felt in his heart, this guy is amazing. Don't look at the age, but think about the problem of the old way, at the moment, I want to take advantage of him, but I am afraid that there is not much hope.
