Chapter 45: The Late Regret [Two More Requests for Recommendation]
"Husband, why did you come back so late?"
Luo Qi said in a joking tone, "It shouldn't be that you went out on a date with my beautiful little sister behind my back." ”
Lai Feiyu pointed at himself, "What beautiful sister can I find like this, I spent all my luck in my life when I married you." ”
"Yo, I wiped honey on my mouth today, so good at talking. Luo Qi pointed to her daughter who was crawling slowly on the ground and said, "You take care of Tongtong first, and I'll go stir-fry." ”
Tongtong is one year and two months old this year, but she can't walk yet, so Luo Qi has to stay home full-time with her children.
The heavy responsibility of making money falls on Lai Feiyu alone.
That's the most important reason why he wants to transition from a chaotic state.
You need money everywhere in the house!
Only nested in the open book publishing company to earn a basic salary, and the family was struggling.
Fortunately, the price level in China is relatively low, food safety is also guaranteed, and milk powder is very cheap, barely supporting.
Lai Feiyu leaned against the doors of the kitchen and living room and said to his wife: "I found a good book today, if I can sign it successfully, it should sell better." At that time, it can be used as a commission or as capital for job hopping. When I went home at night, I forgot to get off the bus because I was chatting with the author, and I sat directly at the bus terminal and then came back. ”
"Really, what book is so powerful?"
Luo Qi was very popular, she had already prepared the dishes before, and now she just opened the fire.
""People grow and hate water and grow east", you must not have heard of it. Lai Feiyu turned his head to look at his daughter, and then added: "If you are not famous now, it does not mean that you will not be famous in the future." ”
However, Luo Qi turned her head and glanced at her husband, "I've heard it, I just saw it on Weibo hot search, is it talking about Erlang God?" ”
This time it was Lai Feiyu's turn to be surprised.
His originally lazy body suddenly tensed, and he asked strangely: "How do you know, you don't read online novels." ”
My daughter-in-law usually watches celebrity gossip on Weibo, chases some variety shows, and I really can't read novels.
The actor known as Lin Ergou asked fans to recommend Shuangwen to take a look, and the fans recommended this book, and it didn't take long for Lin Xin to post on Weibo, it must be a reader's pit. Are you sure that novel is good? If it's good, it's not a cheater. ”
Luo Qi was just interested in gossip, and didn't understand what "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong" was.
Lai Feiyu usually doesn't play Weibo at all, and he is eager to go home by car, so he didn't notice that such a thing happened at all!
The traffic of Weibo is so high, and it is brought to the hot search by a star, isn't the novel data going to explode!
At that time, the competitive pressure on your side will be very high.
I didn't negotiate it in the first place, and now I don't know how many chips I have to add.
This is beyond his purview.
was originally ambitious to sign this book to sweep away the haze, but the treasure that he hid and tucked was discovered by everyone in the world.
Lai Feiyu was tired for a while, and just wanted to sit on the sofa and rest well.
"Baba ......"
Tongtong struggled to crawl on the foam-padded floor, tilting his head to hug him.
Luo Qi didn't expect things to happen like this, the situation changed.
After she finished frying this dish, she didn't care about continuing to cook, but walked to the living room, "Husband, this proves that you have a good eye for heroes, and you found it before it became famous." Don't be discouraged, this book hasn't been signed, and there's the next one. What's more, now that it has not been signed by other publishing companies, you still have a chance. You're at least in direct contact with the author, and you're a big step ahead of the rest of the company!"
There is no better wife in the family than this.
Lai Feiyu hurriedly patted his thigh, "I'll contact the boss immediately, I hope she really has that courage!"
The editor-in-chief of the open book publishing company jumped ship and left when the company changed bosses, and the new boss simply parachuted in to take on this position.
The new boss is said to be a divorced single rich woman who has nothing to do and came to buy a publishing company in order to realize her original career dream.
The rich chase their ideals, while the poor can only chase life.
The owner who is not bad for money may be able to bring the open-book publishing company back to life.
Originally, Lai Feiyu wanted to tidy it up tonight and send it to the boss tomorrow, but now I really can't wait!
"Even if the contract doesn't work out, you can leave a discerning impression on your boss. Now you are stuffy in your heart, who knows that you have contacted the author early in the morning, and you want to show it in the workplace. ”
Luo Qi said that the head was the way.
"Wife, you are really buried at home. After Tongtong is two years old, let your mother come and take her. Lai Feiyu said very seriously, this kind of workplace consciousness is that he can't compare to the horse.
"Let's talk about it then, I plan to do Taoduoduo at home, sell our Huaguo things to those surrounding countries, and after I figure it out, I can be an online merchant at home while taking care of my children. ”
Lai Feiyu hurriedly picked up his mobile phone, sent a WeChat message to his boss and said: "Boss, 100,000 is urgent! I just contacted an author of Huayue.com today and wanted to publish his book "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong", but the other party disliked that the 7% royalty was too low. As a result, only a few hours later, the book was brought to the hot search by Lin Xin, and now many publishing companies are eyeing him, should we increase our bargaining chips? I am sure that this is a good book, and I believe that it will definitely be made into a bestseller. ”
Discernment is important for editors.
Even if you don't get the deal.
At present, the strength of the open book publishing company is not very good, and the only thing that can be provided is a high proportion of royalties!
The big companies are certainly reluctant to give the proceeds to new authors.
Even when eating, Lai Feiyu couldn't help but turn his head frequently to check his phone.
"Ding"
He immediately put down his job and turned on his phone, which was filled with a reply from his boss.
"I'll take a look at the book first, and you can continue to talk to the author, and the price and the number of first prints are negotiable. ”
can be on the hot search, can be ranked in the forefront of Huayue.com, and the potential value has come out.
It is difficult to dig up well-known authors, and it is much less difficult to dig up such new authors, and sincerity is the most important.
The boss's meaning is obvious, that is, to talk boldly, anyway, the final review is on her side.
"I knew that I would give one more point when I got off work, and I would have finalized this, but now I don't know if I have to talk more!"
Lai Feiyu made an exception for Qin Chuan by 7% at the beginning, but now I am afraid it will be even higher.
Not only the royalties, but also the benefits must be written into the contract.
The advantages of the uncoiling company are quite obvious.
Time is money, Lai Feiyu was thinking about how to talk to Qin Chuan after playing with his daughter for a while, and expressed the advantages of his side.
If you don't hurry up, the book will be signed by another company!
