Chapter 134: Editor-in-Chief Ma
Li Zhihua hurriedly got up and greeted, "Serve the food!"
Principal Li seemed to want to hug Ma Zhijin for a while.
But Ma Zhijin took a step back slightly, avoiding Li Zhihua's affection, "I'm sorry, old classmate, there was a leader from the Ministry of Culture just now, I couldn't leave, I had to tell a lie, saying that my wife was hospitalized to get me out." ”
Li Zhihua patted him on the shoulder and joked: "Then my sin is too big, and I have to go back and make amends to my sister-in-law." ”
"Go, go, then I can't be torn apart by that yellow-faced woman? By the way, which one is the teacher Yao you said? Listen to you blow it to me, it's almost so powerful in the sky?"
After Ma Zhijin finished speaking, he inspected the people in the room.
At first, his eyes stayed on the Mediterranean player Lao Wei, who was more in line with the setting of "powerful Teacher Yao".
But later, his eyes were involuntarily attracted by Mi Meng in the corner, and he asked slightly drunk, "This is ......?"
Li Zhihua hurriedly coughed and pulled Yao Yi closer, "This is what I said about Teacher Yao, Yao Yi." ”
Ma Zhijin subconsciously stretched his neck, as if he wanted to cast his eyes behind Yao Yi, but Yao Yi was tall and big, and he really couldn't get around.
He had no choice but to focus his attention on Yao Yi again, "Yao ...... Mr. Yao, how old is my friend this year?"
Obviously, Yao Yi's too young image made Ma Zhijin feel in his heart that he was milky and hairless.
coughing twice, Li Zhihua played a round game, "Although Mr. Yao looks young, he is only well-maintained, and he is not old if he is ambitious." What do you think, old horse, that word deduction method for you?"
Ma Zhijin tried to recall, "Wait until I drank a little too much just now, I'll sit down and take two sips of water first." ”
"Yes, yes, drink water, drink water. ”
Li Zhihua hurriedly arranged, Ma Zhijin sat in the guest of honor, Li Zhihua was on the left, Yao Yi was on the right, and Mi Meng was on the right side of Yao Yi.
Yu Weiwen and Wei Yuanren, the two authentic companions, both sat on Li Zhihua's left hand side.
After steadying for two minutes, Ma Zhijin thought for a while before saying: "Actually, the word deduction method is this, we have been exploring the English education industry in China for many years, and we have had many papers one after another. Of course, there has never been a systematic monograph textbook. You're a good idea, but I still need to see your manuscript before I can judge whether it has the potential and value to be published. ”
Yao Yi nodded, "Yes, so I'm trying to organize it into a system this time, and the current pilot in Shangyang Xuanwu Branch is okay, right, Teacher Wei?"
Old Wei nodded again and again, and the bald Mediterranean reflected the light blindly.
Li Zhihua and Yu Weiwen also sang along.
The waiter over there finally served the food, Mi Meng was really hungry, but he didn't dare to make a big splash of food, he only pretended to listen carefully to what others were saying, and then secretly took away some cold dishes on the table like a thief from time to time.
Ma Zhijin had eaten first, and forgot to beckon everyone to move the chopsticks, and the others were not good at speaking first.
Ma Zhijin peeked at Mi Meng's movements, but said with a grand smile: "Let's not talk about work first, eat first, you see that you have starved that beauty, you are guilty of sin." ”
Yao Yi is such a good person, from the moment he entered the door to the present, he has seen all the performances of Ma Zhijin, who has been drinking until he is slightly drunk.
From the perspective of Mr. Yao's previous peak, there is no need for Ma Zhijin to continue to cooperate.
Li Zhihua's efforts today were in vain.
But Yao Yi was noncommittal, and he didn't take it too seriously, after all, for Li Zhihua's sake, he couldn't commit it because of this suspicion on the spot, but he just rejected this person in his heart.
After eating, everyone went back to their respective homes, each looking for their own mother, and there was no contact in the future, and it was over.
The son of a daughter, who can't sit down, Yao Yi's mind has already been polished through the competition in the shopping mall for many years.
This little thing doesn't even qualify to make him angry.
All mole ant ears.
Everyone moved a few chopsticks again, and under the impetus of Li Zhihua's promotion when he seized the opportunity, Ma Zhijin seemed to have finally changed his mind.
"That Xiao Yao, I have been classmates with Lao Li for many years, and I have always trusted him. Since he has repeatedly recommended you to me, then I will talk to you openly and honestly. ”
Yao Yi put down his chopsticks, "Okay." ”
Li Zhihua and Ma Zhijin do not seem to have cooperated for the first time.
I have to say that Editor-in-Chief Ma is an old Jianghu, from the fact that he came drunk and showed contempt for Yao Yi's too young image, to not talking about work just now, and his attention was all on the others at the dinner table.
He seems to be a little arrogant and self-contained, but secretly he has already moved.
He just wants to express a thing, children, I am the editor-in-chief of the big society, and I am a figure with status and status.
Although you have some skills, and what you write seems to be good, but whether you can come out or not, it's up to me to have the final say.
The less interested he is in Yao Yi's published textbooks, the more bottomless Yao Yi's heart will be, according to normal people's thinking, as a rookie teacher, a young man who is eager to prove himself in a newborn society.
Li Zhihua played the role of a nobleman, constantly recommending him, creating a situation that was difficult to turn back the situation.
But in the final analysis, everything still has to be implemented in the most fundamental two words.
Price.
Life is like a play, and acting skills are everywhere.
If Yao Yi is really a fledgling young man, there is a chance that he will get the way.
But it's a pity that Editor-in-Chief Ma found the wrong opponent.
I've been playing bad with your kind of doorway.
"As we all know, computers have become more and more popular in recent years, and the physical publishing industry has been hit more and more. The books we publish are becoming more and more difficult to sell. Right?"
Ma Zhijin, as the editor-in-chief of the Taisha, first sang about his own industry.
Yao Yi nodded, and thought to himself, you are right, but this is just the beginning, and the physical publishing industry will only become more and more difficult to mix in the future.
"However, our educational publishing industry has not been affected much. Because we mainly do student reference books, there are also some essay appreciation, or the reprint of some classic classics. So far, our Shangjing Education Publishing House should be regarded as the first in the province and the top ten in China. The books we produce are not worried about selling, and others rush to enter. ”
Yao Yi continued to smile and nodded, "That's right, but it's all under the control of Chief Ma that makes your society run so well." ”
"So if you want me to publish a book for you, then the best way is to take a royalty commission, that is, I will give this discount to the people introduced by Lao Li. Like an ordinary author, even if it is a senior teacher, I only give a low price to buy it out. One of the advantages of taking royalties is that our sales go up and you have more money. Like other small publishing houses, if you can't guarantee the circulation and first printing, you'd better buy out the word count at a low price. I'm here to give you a share of the royalties and make you earn more. ”
Li Zhihua followed, "Yes, yes, now many small publishing houses, the first printing of 3,000 copies are coming, isn't that a joke." ”
"Little brother, Mingren doesn't speak dark words. I'll give you four percent of the royalty, the first printing of 10,000 copies, and our preliminary price is 30 yuan per copy. So that you can at least take ...... Take 12,000! If we add a ...... to the back."
Poof!
Suddenly there was a laugh from the corner, and everyone's eyes turned to the source of the laughter.
It's Mi Meng.
Realizing that he was being stared at by everyone, Mi Meng hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm sorry I choked on food, you go on, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
Although she said this, her left hand had already quietly reached under the table, pinching Yao Yi's thigh and pinching it desperately.
Yao Yi felt so itchy, but his face was suffocated, but his heart was bright.
He knew what Mi Meng meant.
She was reminding herself that there was something wrong with this man.
Although Mi Meng's path to becoming a writer seems to be quite difficult, she seems to know a little bit about the rules of the industry.
Yao Yi also tried to play literature when he was running a business in his previous life, although he failed, but some people told him the truth, and he was also not a pure newcomer who didn't really understand anything.
Not to mention that the brick-and-mortar publishing industry is okay now, even in ten years, the royalty of four percent is a joke.
Even if it is a pure new author, it is almost not less than six percent, otherwise it will not even be able to earn back the food money.
Judging from the current market, if the publishing industry takes royalties, it will have to be at least 8 percent!
Ma Zhijin was good and cut him in half.
Over there, the editor-in-chief of Ma was still believing in Ma Youbin, "If the market responds well, let's print 50,000 copies, starting from 100,000 copies!
While saying "60,000" and "120,000", he slapped the table heavily, a little bit of a taste of swallowing mountains and rivers.
Yao Yi's expression was unwavering, tasteless, and even a little wanted to laugh.
Better...... Money!
"However, you know that our publishing house is large-scale, and it has received a lot of manuscripts, and there are still a lot of high-quality teaching staff waiting in line, so Xiaoyao, if you really want to publish it with me, you have to fight for it." ”
Over there, Editor-in-Chief Ma had already entered the state, his expression was suddenly serious, and he looked directly at Yao Yi, and said meaningfully.
Yao Yi was tasteless, but his body subconsciously entered the state as he did during the negotiation, and nodded slightly, "I understand, Editor-in-Chief Ma." ”
Then he himself was speechless, his heart was very boring, but his body was too honest, which was not a good habit.
What do I want to tell you?
The premise of your rebate is that I will be stupid enough to publish a book with you.
Now the premise can't be true, what am I fighting for you?
"It's good to understand, then I'll have dinner. You guys go first, Xiaomi-classmate and I will go sing a song together?"
Ma Zhijin said suddenly.
At this moment, there was a sudden silence on the table.
Yao Yi first looked at Editor-in-Chief Ma, and then looked back at Mi Meng with a blank face.
Mi Meng pinched Yao Yi's thigh under the table and suddenly forced, and tears burst out of her eyes.
Yao Yi's lips were slightly open, and his brain was almost down.
You fuck you!
Lao Tzu thought you were asking for money.
You don't just need money for a long time, you still want me?
What do you think I'm doing here with Mi Meng?
I'll just bring her over for a meal!
Mi Meng's nose suddenly turned red, and her eyes were confused, aggrieved, confused, puzzled, and ...... Lose.
With Yao Yi's life experience in the business world for many years, there is no way to imagine how many dramas Mi Meng, a stupid girl, can make up in her head at this moment.
It must be a heart-wrenching urban romance dog-blood inspirational struggle and hypocritical drama, and there is a fight with the dog blood between Xiaobei, Guo Haizao and Song Siming in "Snail House".
I'm tired and tired, I'm tired, and I'm bored.
What face is not face, it doesn't matter.
Yao Yi's color changed suddenly, and he was extremely gloomy.
I am the destined heir of the Yao Group.
I am worth tens of billions.
Am I going to play this vulgar and boring game of deceit and PR with you here?
