Chapter 149: Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger

It was ten o'clock in the evening when Yao Yi drove away from the manor.

Mom wanted him to stay at home to sleep, but Yao Yi lied and only said that he had asked a friend for supper.

In fact, he received a call from Mi Meng, saying that he had something to discuss with him.

When Yao Yi returned to the rental house, it was already eleven o'clock at night.

Mi Meng and Liu Jue curled up in the sofa in their pajamas to watch TV, as for Fan Li, who had a huge biological clock, I am afraid that he had already gone back to the room to sleep first.

"Yao Yi, come on!

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Mi Meng stretched out her head from behind the sofa and called out hurriedly.

Yao Yi sat down, "What's wrong?"

Mi Meng held her heart in her hands and looked at him with admiration, "I heard Sister Bai say, can your textbook be published?

"That's right. If nothing else, sign the contract tomorrow, and Brother Qian's Shangjing Literature and Art Publishing House. ”

Yao Yi said in a calm tone.

Mi Meng swallowed her saliva, and after a long time, she hid her face and said in an almost miserable tone: "Oh my God, why are you so powerful! You ......"

Liu Jue next to him leaned back with a smile and patted Mi Meng on the back, "The festival mourns and changes, and people are more popular than people." ”

Yao Yi was also amused by Mi Meng like this, "Don't be sad, what I wrote is different from what you wrote." I'm almost a reference book, and you and I don't have much comparison. ”

"I'm jealous of why you're so tall and handsome, and you're so good at everything. After more than ten days, I wrote a book without a sound. ”

Mi Meng looked at him with blank eyes.

Yao Yi spread his hands, "I've been busy for a few months, not just ten days." ”

"How many copies are there for the first printing, and what kind of contract is it signed?"

Mi Meng still asked with a big grin.

Yao Yi thought about it, and when the promotional materials came out, she could see them anyway, so she wouldn't hide it from her.

"The first printing of 200,000 copies, royalties eighteen to twenty-two. ”

"Sister Liu...... I...... I'm not alive anymore...... I'm not alive!"

Mi Meng's careful liver is simply sparsely crushed.

On the one hand, there were 46 rejections, and on the other hand, the first printing of 200,000 copies of the book was published, which is too sad.

She suddenly jumped up from the couch so much that the little bunny under the pajamas jumped, "I decided!"

"What did you decide again?"

Yao Yi and Liu Jue asked in unison.

Mi Meng said: "I decided to have a treat to celebrate Yao Yi's success in publishing the book!"

Liu Jue looked up to the sky and fell, "You are mistaken, Yao Yi should have a treat, right?

"Yes, but Yao Yi's manuscript fee must not have arrived yet, so I'll treat you another day." Alas......"

As she spoke, she sighed again.

Yao Yi gave her a little nervousness at first glance, and she lost her composure rarely, and said angrily: "What's wrong?"

Mi Meng continued to sigh and said, "Sister Liu and I were originally discussing, but it is not a way to always be attached to the Baixiang Book House to make drinks. In fact, Sister Bai can find someone to do this herself, and we take advantage of her too much. ”

Yao Yi felt that things were not so simple, and how much traffic Mi Meng and Liu Jue brought to Baixiang Bookstore was visible to the naked eye.

Although Mi Meng is stupid, Liu Jue must understand this truth, so there really is no one who owes anyone.

Pinching their fingers, the monthly net income of the two in Baixiang Book House is about 10,000 to 20,000.

This is really a lot more than ordinary salaried people, but judging by Liu Jue's conversation and temperament, she was not born in an ordinary working family.

After the two of them share this income, they will definitely not be able to satisfy Liu Jue's appetite.

Fan Li was anxious to set up a home in Shangjing, but Liu Jue was not.

But Liu Jue is an independent woman, she will never put this pressure on Fan Li, but will figure it out by herself, so she encouraged Mi Mengla to join the gang by herself.

It can't be said that Liu Jue is too selfish, this is human nature.

Mi Meng's temperament is like this, one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, today the pocket is empty, and tomorrow at dawn to think about how to live tomorrow.

There was no one next to her to bring her ideas, and her vision could only survive until what to eat next Friday.

Seeing through it or not, Yao Yi nodded, "That's true, your energy is limited, if you still want to expand the scale, there are only two ways." Jumping out of Baixiang Book House to be a drink shop, but that requires cost and risk. Or through Sister Bai, you can get to know more bookstore owners and go to other bookstores to do similar franchise chains, but then the management and financial risks will be uncontrollable. ”

"So I thought about Yao Yi, you have a lot of ideas, I originally wanted to mix with you, you eat meat and we drink soup, you will definitely not die of hunger. For example, let's partner up to open a bubble tea shop, you are so good at marketing, and our business will definitely be very good. But you're a great writer, you're all on track, alas. ”

Mi Meng sighed, as if she was sad that her golden thighs had flew.

Suddenly, she slapped her thigh again, "By the way, Yao Yi, can you give us some books at the cost price?"

Yao Yi, who was drinking water, almost choked to death.

When I first met you, you were setting up a stall, and I finally fooled you into having a place to live, how did you go around and go back to the stall!

How much do you love the stalls!

"No, no, the author doesn't give away many books, the channel is the business of the publishing house, even if you take the book from the publishing house, it's the business of Baixiang Bookstore, what do you call it when you sell it." ”

Yao Yi beat her to death with a stick.

Mi Meng couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, "Is this how my life is, this is the end of me?"

Yao Yi silently gave her a thumbs up, your face is really big, you are really not ashamed.

It seems that this girl is stupid, she always knows that she is good-looking, but she is not spoiled because of this, and she has become the kind of faceless and unruly girl in the TV series.

"Don't worry, although I, Yao Yi, sometimes like to settle accounts with my brothers, just like the commission of your bookmark, I will take it when it should be mine. But if I do make progress on my side, I can't forget you. Anyway, who to help is not to help, when I get it done, I can at least guarantee that you will not starve to death. ”

Yao Yi gave Mi Meng a foreshadowing.

He knew how Qian Yi would make up stories in his head before, but he really didn't plan to act in a romance drama.

If you are a true friend, you will tell some things sooner or later, and you will know sooner or later.

If you keep it hidden, it's not a friend, it's just a familiar stranger.

He is willing to treat Mi Meng, Liu Jue and Fan Li as friends.

After all, he really didn't have many real friends in his previous life.

After this period of observation, he also believes that these people can withstand the impact, and will not change their temperament greatly because they expose their wealth, and they just need to wait for a suitable opportunity.

Human feelings and systems are the eternal problems of every enterprise, but Yao Yi is confident that he can handle these small details well.

Even, learning to make good use of human favors in the early stage of entrepreneurship can get twice the result with half the effort.

As long as it's handled well, it's a mutually beneficial thing.

Yao Yi can at least guarantee that within three years, in an industry below one billion yuan, all the people who have helped him, as long as they are willing, will definitely not let others suffer.

Mi Meng was overjoyed when she heard this, "Really?

"Go, go, don't say such misleading things. Forget it, do you want Brother Fan to touch the kitchen knife and come out to me desperately?"

Yao Yi hurriedly cleared up the relationship, safety first!

Mi Meng can be regarded as realizing that she has made another mistake, and she beats herself up.

Yao Yi asked: "I have probably read what you wrote, the writing is okay, and the basic copywriting can be competent." In addition, you can draw is also a good skill, and you can also do art, in fact, you don't have to worry about finding a job, but why don't you go to work?"

Mi Meng pointed to his face.

Yao Yi understood in seconds, "People are really ugly to this point now?"

Mi Meng shook her head, "No, in fact, some people don't do it so obviously, but they will always respond to people from time to time." Even if he thinks it's just an innocuous meat joke, I'll still be annoyed, and I can't stand it and just be self-employed. My mother said that I was not suitable for breaking outside, and asked me to go back to my hometown, but I didn't want to go back, alas. ”

Yao Yi wants to praise Mi Meng again, you also know that meat jokes are very popular!

"Then you can rest assured, this kind of thing cannot happen in my territory, and I have always paid attention to the corporate culture...... Ahem......"

He found that he was cheap again, even if the company was built, more than a dozen people would be killed visually in the early stage, and the corporate culture of a ghost could only be called a micro-enterprise without culture at most.

In order to hide his embarrassment, he turned his attention to Liu Jue again, "Sister Liu, are you also the same troubles as Mi Meng?"

Liu Jue nodded first, and then shook his head, "Actually, I just left the capital and came to Shangjing, so I don't have any plans for my life for the time being, just be with him." ”

As he spoke, Liu Jue turned his head to look in the direction of the bedroom.

"What did you do before?"

Liu Jue said casually: "Just ordinary white-collar workers." ”

Mi Meng next to him answered directly, and Liu Jue was too late to cover his mouth.

"Sister Liu is being modest! She graduated from the Department of Computer Science of Qinghua University, and she is a scholar who has won a scholarship! The company she used to work for was a super large Internet company, and she was a technical backbone, so the company said that it was about to go public!"

Yao Yi was taken aback.

He has always been very accurate in recognizing people, but this time he turned out to be blind, and he really didn't see it.

Seeing Yao Yi's rare expressions of surprise, Mi Meng was like a victorious general, and finally pulled back a game.

"Hee-hee, I was shocked when I first heard it. ”

Liu Jue waved his hand helplessly, "That's all in the past, since I left the capital, these are not my qualifications." ”

As she spoke, she fell into memories again, with a hint of unwillingness and hatred in her eyes, as if she was talking to herself, "They are going to be listed, and I should have had some original stock quotas." But it's okay, go clean, and you don't have to worry about it. If it wasn't for the trademark lawsuit two years earlier, I couldn't go public ahead of schedule, I really got the original shares, and now it's really painful to be forced to leave. ”

Yao Yi's eyes rolled, "Looking for a house?"

Liu Jue sat up straight, "How do you know!?"

"The trademark lawsuit between Dow Jieshi and Zhaofang Holding Group has been raging for so many years. Recently, the executives of the Real Estate Holding Group have been appearing in New York again, and with a little attention, it is not difficult to guess that it is them, right?"

In fact, Yao Yi knows better.

In fact, Lianjia is only the master of Internet real estate, and the real pioneers in China are others.

It is also born in Beijing, and will be successfully listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2010, and then in 2014, it lost its trademark and changed its name to "Wu Tianxia", which has since fallen into the first echelon and collapsed.

Yao Yi never expected that there was a rebel from the "house search network" hidden by his side, and he really had nowhere to find his iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it.

He asked directly: "Sister Liu, have you signed a non-compete agreement?"

"No, they didn't dare to put any conditions on me. If it weren't for Fan Li, I would have been in the hands of that rotten man for the rest of my life. ”

"That's good!"

A lingering smile appeared on Yao Yi's face.

"Good what?"

Mi Meng leaned over and asked curiously.

Yao Yi smiled, "It's okay, you'll know in a few days, you guys are busy with your own business first, wait for me to inform." ”

Yao Yi was not in a hurry to make up his decision, and before taking action, he would inquire through his own channels to determine Liu Jue's situation.

In technical terms, this is called back tone.

If Liu Jue is really as she said, if she can get the original share quota, at least at the department head level, it must be a fierce general!

Yao Yi was very keen, and saw the anger of revenge in Liu Jue's eyes.

Great, it's just wonderful.

If you want revenge, I can help you.

In Yao Yi's plan, among the opponents he will face, Zhaofang.com is the pioneer.

The future giant Lianjia, at this time, is still an ordinary intermediary service enterprise that simply relies on stores to do business.
