In my previous life, I was trapped in the real estate industry and couldn't move for twenty years.

In the first ten years, he devoted himself to studying, and in the last ten years, he was forced to take over in advance, turning the tide and getting the Yao family, which was about to collapse, back on track.

On the surface, it was magnificent, but when he was forty years old, even if he was famous, every time he thought about it, he felt bored, and he felt like he had wasted his life.

Now that he is back, although he is a little bottomless in his heart, even if he knows that it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, he always has to break through and fight.

Regardless of success or failure, but seek no regrets in your heart.

In terms of talent, my Yao Yi may not be as good as you.

When it comes to IQ, some of you must have blown me up.

But my strengths, you are also unattainable.

Ten years later, the glorious names seem to stand proudly on the top of the world one after another, and everyone's resume exudes a dazzling and dazzling light.

In his previous life, Yao Yi, as a "local old wealth" who relied on the shadow of his parents in the eyes of others, has never been able to compare with those people in the hearts of others.

Even if those people are not as rich as him, they can't stand others thinking that they are amazing and beautiful.

When everyone stood together, they received the same superficial compliment and respect, but Yao Yi could keenly perceive the contempt and prejudice hidden in the depths of some people's eyes.

In the mouths of netizens, even the scolding he received was not as high-end as others.

After all, he was a little unconvinced, but he was old and his heart was sinking, and it was impossible for him to put down the huge Yao clan in his hand and rashly enter other fields when he reached forty.

It's different now, I'm still young, and I still have blood and impulsiveness!

A manly man, born to hold a three-foot sword, fight the world's heroes!

He thought as he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass of the Genting Restaurant on the top floor of Shangjing's tallest building, looking down on the ground.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Qian Yi arrived at Genting Restaurant as scheduled.

Yao Yi got up and beckoned to him.

Qian Yi walked over quickly with a cross-body briefcase, and said with a little surprise: "Wow, how to pick this place, let's just find a teahouse when we meet." Water is so expensive to drink in this place. ”

Yao Yi made a gesture to sit down, "I happened to pass by this side when I was wandering around before, and I suddenly wanted to come up and take a look at the scenery." It's okay, they are expensive. Brother Qian, look, looking down from here, does it feel like you have a look at the mountains? ”

Qian Yi was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I first said that you still made me calm when I wanted to become famous, in fact, you are crazier than me, but you didn't show it on your face." ”

Yao Yi didn't deny it, only nodded, "People can't do great things without perseverance, and people can't achieve great things without heart." As Brother Qian, you said before, we want to change the times, and we want to lower the difficulty level of learning English by one level. Since we want to do such a big thing, of course, we have to have self-confidence, and we must first convince ourselves before we can convince the reader in the book. ”

Qian Yi was stunned, but there was already a little drum in his heart.

He felt that Yao Yi would not be untargeted, which was paving the way for waiting for the negotiation contract.

The waiter over there came over and asked Qian Yi with a smile what he wanted.

Qian Yi habitually raised his hand, "A cup of vegetarian tea." ”

"Sorry sir, we don't have vegetarian tea here. ”

Yao Yi took over the conversation next to him, "Jin Junmei." ”

"Yes sir, a glass of Jin Jun Mei. ”

When the waiter left, Qian Yi asked a little puzzled, "How do you know that I like to drink black tea?"

Yao Yi smiled back, "When we called before, Brother Qian, you drank several sips of water, but you blow two breaths before drinking water almost every time, and you also add water once." Black tea should be drunk hot and preferably in a wide-mouthed cup. You exhale a lot when you blow the cup, so you should be using a wide-mouthed cup. I speculate that Brother Qian, the probability that you like black tea is higher. ”

"You cow!"

Qian Yi suddenly had a feeling that he was afraid of being hammered to the ground by Yao Yi in today's negotiations.

Before, it was just a simple communication at the dinner table, but today Qian Yi learned that this young man who looked like he was unwieldy, and he was unexpectedly strong, and he had a strong desire to control.

He was suddenly a little curious, would Ma Zhijin, the editor-in-chief of Shangjing Education, who was disgusting Yao Yi, be unlucky when he turned around?

He took out the Nuoji 5800, put the mobile phone on his lap, opened the QQ group for work in the group that had not been opened for two days because he was busy, and glanced down with squinted eyes.

His gossip brother had just sent a message.

Well?!

"According to credible information, the hungry horse from the next club has entered the hospital, breaking several bones. ”

Shangjing Education is actually not next door to Shangjing Literature and Art, and the office buildings of the two societies are very far away, but Shangjing Literature and Art people generally call Shangjing Education, which is a daily food grab, as the next door society.

As for the hungry and thirsty horse, needless to say, it is Ma Zhijin, who is notorious in the industry, that he himself did not run.

Qian Yi almost choked on his own saliva.

I may have been dazzled, or maybe I opened the group in the wrong way, so I'll open it again.

Damn!

It's true!

He scanned the content of the group chat again, and found that Ma Zhijin seemed to be flirting with the little girl, and was beaten up by his suitors.

The beater was arrested, but I don't know if he was released, I heard that Ma Zhijin planned not to pursue it.

Hmm, that should be a coincidence, Yao Yi doesn't look like he just caused trouble.

Wait, isn't it Mi Meng who was misunderstood by Ma Zhijin as a public relations?

But Yao Yi hasn't been in, everyone has been in contact so closely in the past two days, it is impossible for such a big thing to be without signs at all.

Or is this the trouble that Ma Zhijin got into before?

Qian Yi was a little confused.

He couldn't sort out his thoughts, he simply didn't think about it, paused, grabbed the waiter's teacup and pinched it, forcibly calmed his mind, and turned back to the topic, "Then I'll open the skylight and say something bright." ”

"Well, Brother Qian, you say. ”

"On my side, as the editor-in-chief, the highest authority in my hand is to give you a contract for the first printing of 30,000 copies and a royalty of eighteen. The standard price of our company's textbook shipment is 25 yuan a copy, and the terminal guide price is tentatively set at 49.9 yuan. You know, we will also give some rebates to channel providers as appropriate, and the first manuscript fee you can get in the end is at least 100,000, which can be written in the contract. ”

Yao Yi bowed slightly, he didn't interrupt Qian Yi's words, he only pondered in his heart.

The number of first printing copies here is 20,000 copies less than that of Shangjing Education, and the royalties are the same, and the shipping price is slightly lower.

It's not surprising that Shangjing is indeed weaker in terms of literary and artistic scale, and Qian Yi is only an editor-in-chief, and his power is not as good as Ma Zhijin.

In other words, Qian Yi did confess all at once, which was the best condition he could come up with.

However, this does not meet Yao Yi's psychological expectations.

"Brother Qian, I have no opinion on anything else. On two points, the first printing of 30,000 copies is too little, and the time to market should be within three months. ”

"Ah, it's no problem when it's on the market, but 30,000 copies is too little, it's a lot!"

Yao Yi shook his head slightly, "Brother Qian, didn't you say it, how can 30,000 copies change the times? I have done a simple market research in the past two days, and I personally think 100,000 copies is more appropriate. ”

Qian Yi hissed and gasped, his eyes wide.

Rookie author, the first printing of 100,000 copies, what an arrogance!

If it were a different person, he would have to open his mouth to scold, but Qian Yi looked at Yao Yi's indifferent appearance on the other side, and then thought about his manuscript, but he couldn't scold.

Yao Yi looked at Qian Yi's expression and knew what he was thinking.

But he's not being vexatious.

He didn't want to waste time.

The textbooks are on the market as soon as possible, sweep the market as soon as possible, and make yourself a well-known English teacher as soon as possible, which will help you start your next business.

This matter should be done sooner rather than later, and there is no need to be afraid of shocking the world.

"That, Yao Yi, you know the situation of our society. 100,000 copies is really scary. And our 30,000 copies are just the first printing, if the market is really as we expected, then immediately reprint. ”

Yao Yi continued to shake his head, "If the first printing is sold out quickly, the additional printing will be delayed for at least one to two months." But in our country, piracy can't be prevented, right?"

Qian Yi was silent.

As an editor at a publishing house, he certainly knows it.

Now the country's heavy attack on pirated physical books has just begun, and although it is nearly dusk for renting bookstores, it is not really the end.

Unlicensed and unlicensed bookstores and street stalls throughout the country are the main distribution channels for pirated bestsellers.

Pirated books are shoddy, shipped very quickly, and it is even likely that pirated books will gradually circulate on the market the day after the genuine version is released.

Qian Yi understands what Yao Yi means, and if he really wants to make a profit, he must make enough genuine copies at one time, quickly digest and absorb the potential market, and don't leave too much room for piracy.

Although this is the case, Qian Yi still can't accept such an exaggerated thing as the first printing of 100,000 copies, and the publishing house has to take a big risk, and it is basically impossible for the leaders to agree.

But it was he himself who spoke up first, he just didn't expect Yao Yizhen to be blown up by himself, and now it's hard to say frustrating words.

Seeing the uncomfortable expression on Qian Yi's face, Yao Yi smiled, and said, "Brother Qian, don't worry, I understand your difficulties." Otherwise, you should have only swallowed the dates last night, and then you should use your professional eye to re-read it. I'll also take your revisions and revise the draft, keep improving, and we'll meet again in three or four days, and then make a decision?"

Qian Yi wanted to speak and stopped, holding back the sentence, "But 100,000 copies are still ......"

"How do you know if you don't try it? Or after we finalize it, Brother Qian, you try to fight with the publishing house, if it really doesn't work, we'll talk about it then." ”

"Okay, that's it for now. ”

"Brother Qian, don't worry, since I have already found you in this matter, I will not go to anyone else until we sort it out. ”

"Done!"

Now he has changed to Yao Yi to feed Qian Yi with reassurance.
