Yao Yi has always had a strong sense of time, he said that twenty minutes is basically eight or nine or ten.

Eighteen minutes later, he appeared downstairs in Shangjing's literary and artistic office, "Brother Qian, what is the situation?"

Qian Yi's face was a little uncomfortable, "I showed your manuscript to my boss, and they also thought it was very good, but they still felt that 100,000 copies was too high." ”

Yao Yi was noncommittal, "It's okay, business, it's just for talking." ”

"Also, it's not impossible for my leader to say 100,000 copies, but the publisher is taking too much risk, so he asks for your royalties to be lowered to 12 percent. ”

"Oh?"

Yao Yi sighed lightly, but his heart was already bright.

This situation is the same as he guessed, as long as you are not blind and stupid, you can always see the value of the "Word Deduction Method".

They have already loosened their mouth for 100,000 copies, and it is impossible for them to just look at Qian Yi's face, they can also have a hunch that this book can sell well.

They want to suppress royalties, but they are eyeing the profit after the big sale.

Businessmen are instinctive in their pursuit of profit, and Yao Yi can understand the thoughts of decision-makers.

It is true that the possible income from publishing this book is nothing to him, and the royalties have changed from eighteen to twelve, and the funds involved have fluctuated up and down by only 100,000 yuan.

He can not care about the money, but as a businessman, he can't tolerate the money that should be his own being taken by others.

"It's okay, go up and talk about it, is it talking to the editor-in-chief?"

Yao Yi already had a plan in his heart, and still said with a smile.

Qian Yi nodded.

Yao Yi knew that he hadn't finished speaking, but he didn't ask.

When the two got on the elevator, Qian Yi's face was cloudy, he hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and lowered his voice and said, "That Yao Yi, your manuscript has been copied." In case it doesn't work out, I'll have to get the copy back for you. It's like this, I'm sorry, I betrayed your trust. ”

Yao Yi laughed and patted Qian Yi on the shoulder, "It's okay, it's all right." ”

"Huh?"

Five minutes later, Xiang Wannan and Liu Wende looked at the young man in front of them, and their emotions were quite complicated.

They just wanted to scare and scare Qian Yi, but they didn't expect this guy's ass to be really crooked, so he invited the author of the original book here, is it going to have a showdown and flip the table?

The two old goblins were a little crying and laughing, we just deliberately changed the staple, didn't really make copies, Qian Yi, why are you just like that?

Xiang Wannan looked at Qian Yi's dark lips, and his eyes were resolute, and he guessed his state of mind.

Yes, this right-hand man is afraid that he plans to stop doing it once the talks can't get along.

He may still have the idea in his heart that if his immediate boss is this kind of person, it is not interesting for him to stay here.

Liu Wende's old face was a little red, he admired Xiao Qian, isn't it because of his temperament, but he didn't expect that he and Lao Xiang would become villains.

Also, how young is this author named Yao Yi?

Look at his writing is not at all like the style that a person of this age should have.

His thinking is quite imaginative, but his control of words is extremely sophisticated, and the words and sentences between the lines reveal a back-to-basics charm, and people without experience can't write it.

"Hello Editor-in-Chief Liu, hello Manager Xiang. My name is Yao Yi and I am the author of "The Method of Word Deduction". ”

Yao Yi greeted the two with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant, calm and composed, without the crampedness of ordinary rookie authors in the face of the editor-in-chief and the general manager of the publishing house.

"Hello Yao Yi, you are really younger than I imagined. ”

Liu Wende praised.

Xiang Wannan made a gesture of invitation, motioning for everyone to sit down on the sofa and talk, but he also said: "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and there are talents in the country." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the meaning of your society, the editor-in-chief of Qian has already conveyed it to me. Personally, I still insisted on the previous three requirements, with a first printing of 100,000 copies, royalties of 18 and three months. ”

He didn't say anything hard, just his expression was calm as usual, as if he was talking about a trivial matter like eating and drinking soup.

Xiang Wannan and Liu Wende glanced at each other, and they were a little unhappy.

I mean, you're too hard to deal with!

How can there be such a thing as you, opening your mouth is a fixed price, and there is no room for any loop, why are you so crazy?

The calmer Yao Yi looked at this time, the more he seemed to be unpopular in the eyes of the two old fritters, which was inevitably disliked.

Xiang Wannan directly vetoed, "Impossible, your book is good, but it has not been tested by the market." You are also not well-known in the textbook publishing industry, and it is almost impossible for the first printing of 100,000 copies to be accepted by the distribution channels! The risk we have to take is too great! Unless you ......"

Yao Yi interrupted Xiang Wannan's words, "It's okay, I have 50,000 copies out of these 100,000 volumes." If I can't sell it, I will buy back all 50,000 copies at cost price. Well, I personally funded. ”

As soon as he said this, Xiang Wannan, Liu Wende and Qian Yi all looked at each other, crying and laughing.

Qian Yi hurriedly persuaded: "Yao Yi, don't be kidding, this is at least 700,000, which is not a small amount!"

After Liu Wende was stunned, he couldn't help laughing, "Yao Yi, it's a good thing for young people to be energetic and ambitious, but they can't afford to put themselves into it like this for the rest of their lives." Really, we are optimistic about your book, but publishing always comes with a certain amount of risk. This risk is bearable for our unit, but for individuals, the gamble of 700,000 yuan is really exaggerated. ”

Xiang Wannan said: "Forget it, Yao Yi or we will be like this." For the time being, it will be printed according to the first printing of 50,000 copies, and I will keep an eye on you here, as long as the sales volume in the first week reaches the standard, we will print it in advance. 700,000 yuan can buy a 100-square-meter house in our Shangjing, after all, you have just been born in society, don't mess around like this, your family will not agree. ”

He still saved a little face, but in fact, he didn't believe that Yao Yi could really get 700,000, it was purely an emotional boast of Haikou.

Yao Yi asked rhetorically, "You think I'm joking?"

The three of them were silent, and it was really hard to expose this matter to their faces.

Yao Yi pointed to himself, "My name is Yao Yi." ”

"yes, we know. ”

Xiang Wannan nodded again and again.

"Yao Qi's Yao, clothes of brocade and jade food. ”

"Uh......"

Qian Yi and the three of them were a little confused.

"Yao Qi of Yao's Group. ”

Yao Yi added another sentence.

"Oh, I know, I know, Mr. Yao! Isn't the high-rise building over there the Yao family's headquarters, you can see it every day. At last year's National People's Congress, I also heard Mr. Yao's speech in the audience. ”

Xiang Wannan looked back into the distance, and about a few hundred meters away, the Yao family's headquarters building was emerging from the center of Shangjing, which was full of high-rise buildings.

"Yes, my father is Yao Qi. ”

Yao Yi continued to speak calmly.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became strange, with shock, disbelief, and ...... Comical.

Yao Yi is a little familiar with this situation, and the last time he told Li Zhihua and Yu Weiwen about his identity on the spot, those two didn't believe it at all.

He shrugged slightly, "Maybe you think I'm joking, but that's the truth. This is my bank card, this is my phone. ”

After speaking, he took out his bank card and mobile phone and put them on the coffee table.

The other three were a little confused about what he was going to do.

"Now I'll check the balance, and you can take a look. ”

After speaking, he used his mobile phone to send a "CXYE" text message to the bank.

Nowadays, SMS notifications for mobile banking are not fully popular, but high-end users like the Yao family have begun to enjoy this almost customized service.

Ten seconds later, the text message came back.

Yao Yi pressed the touch screen, and the mobile phone on the coffee table displayed the content.

Nothing else matters, what matters is the extremely glaring line on it.

"Account balance 7,723,156.17 yuan".

It was originally eight million, and after buying the Passat, there was so much left.

The sound of gasping came and went, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Even Xiang Wannan, whose annual income is not low, He had seen such a large number in his personal bank card, so that he shook his head a little to make sure that he was not dazzled, and he counted the single digits of the number again in his heart.

That's right, it's seven figures!

Damn! More than 7.7 million!

The 700,000 he was going to take was just a fraction of it!

Xiang Wannan thought of the dozens of floors of the Yao headquarters in his mind, and remembered the warm smile on Yao Yi's face from beginning to end, but the soles of his feet were soft, and his face was even hotter.

He is not spicy for slapping his face, he is purely spicy for shame.

We kept emphasizing to each other what a remarkable number 700,000 was, and I always thought I was clever enough to take a house as an example.

But he is the baby son of the largest real estate boss in Shangjing!

Yao Yi spoke again, "But I also took the risk on behalf of me, so I want to raise the royalty to twenty-two percent, isn't it too much?"

Xiang Wannan's face is white.

Is this how rich people talk about business, deep enough to ignore all conventions and rules, and once they show their fangs, they want to gnaw a bite of flesh from others!

You are so brutal, Yao Yi!

Yao Qi's Yao, the clothes of brocade and jade food!
