Chapter Thirty-Three: A Big Order of Six Million Copies!
The next day.
Traditional Culture Publishing House.
"The manager feels a little different today. ”
"Hasn't he been worrying about the future of the publishing house, in order to sign a first-line author, he used to call non-stop every day, busy and busy, but people are still unwilling to sign with our publishing house. ”
"Can you not be in a hurry, the efficiency of our publishing house has been getting lower and lower in recent years, and it has lost a lot of money this year, and there are still many books in the warehouse that have not been sold. ”
"Actually, the manager is also very hard. ”
"It's really hard before today, and I'm always sad, but today it's like a different person, just after I entered the company, I smiled happily, and I rarely wore a suit, and I tidied up my appearance, is there anything good about our publishing house?"
"What good things can be, yesterday the manager inexplicably asked us to clean up, in the current situation, what best-selling works should be impossible, I estimate that Manager Zhang made such a play, is he trying to sell our publishing house, clean it, sell it at a good price?"
In the publishing house, the staff was talking about it.
in the manager's office.
Zhang Xingjie sat at the desk with an excited face, looking at the time and drinking water vigorously, looking a little nervous.
Although he is in a high position.
However, at the moment of life and death of this publishing house, even he could not help but be nervous.
The most critical thing is.
The person he is about to meet is a person who really has a lot to do with the future of their publishing house, and he knows very well that if the negotiation is completed today, then the publishing house will live, and even the future development will be better, after all, that person is Fang Qiu, if he can get Fang Qiu to join, then other first-line authors will definitely regard their Fan Culture Publishing House as the preferred publisher.
There's no way, who made Fang Qiu so hot now.
Not to mention first-line authors, even first-line stars want to rub Fangqiu's popularity, which shows how influential Fangqiu is.
Arguably.
Fang Qiu is now the only light that the entire Fan Culture Publishing House can see, as long as it grasps this light, then this publishing house will completely walk out of the darkness and face the light.
But if not.
Then, the publishing house is completely finished.
For Fang Qiu, choosing a publishing house is an easy task, but for Fan Culture Publishing House, Fang Qiu is the only hope they must grasp.
Of course.
Only the manager Zhang Xingjie knows.
In the morning, nine o'clock sharp.
Under the suspicious eyes of all the employees, Zhang Xingjie walked out of the office excitedly and came to the office building where the publishing house was located with a smile on his face.
It didn't take a few minutes.
A transfer car stopped in front of the office building.
A man wearing a mask got out of the car and walked.
This man.
It's Fangqiu!
"Hello. ”
Walking to Zhang Xingjie's side, Fang Qiu pulled off his mask, stretched out his hand to Zhang Xingjie, and said, "I checked your publishing house on the Internet. ”
"Hello, hello. ”
Zhang Xingjie immediately shook hands with Fang Qiu excitedly and said, "It's really embarrassing to let you come all the way over, I should have gone to see you." ”
"I hadn't been exposed to a publishing house before, so I wanted to drop by. ”
Fang Qiu said.
"Yes, please. ”
Zhang Xingjie nodded, and immediately asked Fang Qiu to go upstairs.
Step into the elevator.
Fang Qiu took off his mask and put it in his trouser pocket.
After getting out of the elevator, under the leadership of Zhang Xingjie, I walked around the Fan Culture Publishing House, and finally entered Zhang Xingjie's office.
This way.
Everyone was wondering, speculating as to what was going on.
Zhang Xingjie suddenly came with Fang Qiu.
See the square mound.
The staff in the publishing house were all stunned.
One by one, they were full of surprise, silently watching Fang Qiu walk into the manager's office.
The audience was silent.
It wasn't until the sound of the manager's office door being slammed shut that the men came to their senses.
"Just now, is that handsome guy Fang Qiu just now?"
A female employee was the first to speak up.
"Really?"
"Is it really Fang Qiu?"
"I can't believe it, Fang Qiu came to our publishing house?"
"It's him, it looks like it's really him!"
"It's Fangqiu. ”
"It's really Fang Qiu!"
At this moment, all the employees were excited.
"But, what are Fang Qiu doing here?
"Could it be that Fang Qiu is coming to publish a book?"
"No wonder the manager asked us to clean up yesterday, and today he was smiling, it turned out that he knew that Fang Qiu was coming!"
Talking and talking.
Everyone unconsciously thought of the super topic that Fang Qiu had recently formed on Weibo.
Efangqiu is now so hot.
If it's really a book, it's not a simple hot word that can be described!
There is salvation.
The publishing house is saved!
All the employees were excited.
But.
They also knew very well that Fang Qiu had only come to their publishing house, and he might not really publish a book in their publishing house, so everyone felt as if they had been scratched by a kitten, and they had been peeking at the experience office, and they were not even in the mood to work.
in the manager's office.
"This is a good tea from my private collection, but I don't know how to make tea, otherwise I will definitely make you a pot myself. ”
Brewing a cup of tea for Fang Qiu with an ancient tea cup and handing it over, Zhang Xingjie said: "Since Mr. Fang has already read the plan sent to you by our publishing house, then I will talk about it openly." ”
"Thank you. ”
Fang Qiu took the tea, responded with a smile and said, "You say." ”
"I don't know, whether Mr. Fang intends to write an autobiography, or an essay, as long as you want, everything is easy to say in terms of remuneration. ”
Zhang Xingjie said.
"Let's not talk about that. ”
Fang Qiu took a sip of tea and said, "I'm going to find someone to write "The Biography of Sun Simiao", "The Biography of Li Shizhen", "The Biography of Hua Tuo", "The Biography of Zhang Zhongjing", "The Biography of Confucius" and "The Biography of Mencius". ”
On the plane to Kyoto, Fang Qiu thought about it carefully.
The reason why Confucius and Mencius were added was because Fang Qiu felt that the children in the mountainous areas should also learn about the holy teachers of China, the great life stories, build their national self-confidence from an early age, and carry forward the traditional Chinese culture.
"Huh?"
Zhang Xingjie looked at Fang Qiu with a confused expression.
He didn't understand, what Fang Qiu was doing!
Didn't you want to write a book, but just placed an order?
"The books you mentioned are actually available in our publishing house, but they can't be sold. ”
Zhang Xingjie smiled bitterly and said: "You also know that young people nowadays like to read the Internet, even if many people will often use this kind of books, they will only go online to check the length they need, and they will not spend money to buy them at all, now these books are no different from waste products, why do you want these books?"
"Donate it. ”
Fang Qiu smiled and said, "If you have all the books I said, I hope you can print a million copies of each book and donate them all." ”
Hear the words.
Zhang Xingjie was shocked.
"You, what are you doing here?"
Looking at Fang Qiu, Zhang Xingjie tried to ask with a shocked face: "Do you know, if you do what you say, how much it will cost?"
"I don't know. ”
Fang Qiu shook his head, opened his mouth and said, "You make a price!"
"Well, I'll do the math for you. ”
Zhang Xingjie smiled bitterly and said to Fang Qiu: "Now, the cost price of a book is about 5 yuan, of course, it will be cheaper if it is printed and pirated, but we can't do this, right?"
"There are six books you just mentioned. ”
"One million copies of each kind, that's six million copies in total. ”
"At the cost price of 5 yuan per book, at least 30 million funds are needed, which is not a small amount. ”
Hear the words.
Fang Qiu nodded lightly and said, "Okay." ”
"Huh?"
Zhang Xingjie was stunned.
He was still waiting for Fang Qiu to retreat.
How is it good?
That's right, right?
Zhang Xingjie looked at Fang Qiu with a surprised face and asked, "Do you really want it?"
Although these books are available in the warehouses of the publishing house, the reserves are simply not enough, and if one million copies are printed per volume, it will also require a very large amount of money to support it.
Therefore, Zhang Xingjie didn't want to take this business, but felt that Fang Qiu would definitely not be able to spend this money, so he had the idea of waiting for Fang Qiu to retreat.
Unexpectedly, Fang Qiu nodded directly.
"I need one for children under fifteen, how soon will you be able to print it?"
Fang Qiu asked.
"Do you really want it?"
Zhang Xingjie asked in surprise.
"Yes. ”
Fang Qiu nodded affirmatively.
This time.
Zhang Xingjie was immediately excited.
That's a big deal!
Even if Fang Qiu doesn't write an autobiography, this big one can make him millions!
In any case, this order must satisfy Fang Qiu.
After all, Fang Qiu has not yet decided whether he wants to write an autobiography or not, if this order is done well and the two sides cooperate very happily, maybe Fang Qiu is really interested in writing an autobiography?
"Good. ”
While excited, Zhang Xingjie groaned again and said: "Now, the books in our warehouse are all for adults, of course, we can also change them according to your requirements, and it is relatively easy to change, but if these books are all printed, ......"
He hesitated for a moment.
Zhang Xingjie gritted his teeth and opened his mouth to say: "About half a month!"
In fact.
This time can be said to be frighteningly short for a publishing house.
With six million copies, it is simply impossible to print it in such a short period of time.
But.
In order to be able to make this order with Fang Qiu perfectly, Zhang Xingjie is going to find several more printing houses at the same time, work overtime to catch up with the printing, and work overtime to change the manuscript of the book.
Because he could see that Fang Qiu was in a hurry about these books.
After all that is said.
Zhang Xingjie looked at Fang Qiu expectantly.
"Yes, you can. ”
Fang Qiu also felt that the time was about the same, and the other party was also sincere, so he immediately nodded directly and said, "Sign the contract." ”
Zhang Xingjie was stunned at first.
Then, all of a sudden, I felt that the whole world had suddenly become so cute and so happy.
It's so exciting to find such a big order by yourself and sign it so quickly.
"Okay, I'll notify the legal department to prepare the contract immediately. ”
In the excitement, Zhang Xingjie answered, and then immediately got up and left the office.
