After Shen Hao ran away, he secretly scolded himself, a person in his thirties was scared away by a beautiful young woman, it was too embarrassing. When he slept and dreamed at night, he didn't run away, he took Qi Qing down directly, it was another big battle, and the next day, when he took the sheets out of the door, he was blocked by Qi Qing, she snatched the sheets and walked away.

It's really weird, could it be that she had the same dream last night? Shen Hao shook his head and didn't dare to think about it, so he went to work.

Two weeks after Shen Hao's manuscript was sent, he received replies from three publishers in three consecutive days, in which all three publishers were interested in Shen Hao's book and hoped that Shen Hao would bring all the manuscripts to the publisher for an interview.

Looks like I'm going to take a leave of absence again.

Shen Hao took three replies from the publishing house and went to the old factory director first.

The old factory director was still very impressed with Shen Jie, and when he saw Shen Hao looking for him, he asked Shen Hao to sit down.

"Ah Hao, what are you looking for me, do you want me to help you find a girlfriend? ”

"How dare you bother the old factory director about finding a girlfriend, Sister Zhou of Corey has already taken care of it. I'm coming to you today to take a few days off. I took a leave of absence the previous month, and this time it was not good to speak directly to Section Chief Zhao, so I asked you to help me intercede. ”

"Oh, I'm going to ask for leave, and I'll tell me what the matter is, and I'll decide whether to help you intercede or not. ”

"I wrote a book and sent the manuscript to three publishers, and now they all write back saying that they are interested and want me to talk about it, so I have to take a few days off. ”

"Alas, I didn't expect our factory to produce a big writer. Bring me the letter from the publisher, I won't read your manuscript, and when it's published, send me a copy. ”

"Old factory director, the book I wrote is for young people, I'm afraid you won't like it. ”

"Ah Hao, you think I'm too old to be your reader. You don't know, those of us who have experienced the movement in the sixties and seventies actually have some literary and artistic youth complexes. Back then, I also wanted to write poetry, I wanted to write novels, and I wanted to write screenplays. However, because of the environment at that time, most of us only read junior high school, and the vocabulary was only those words, and we couldn't hold back the words that we wanted to write. We can't write, but we admire people who can. Ah Hao, your fake, don't worry, I'll go and tell Section Chief Zhao. Xiao Zhao is also a literary and artistic old man. ”

With the help of the old factory manager, Shen Hao easily got a two-week vacation. First of all, I told Shen Hongguang and Wu Meilian that I was going to go out for two weeks, and Qi Qing and Yang Xiaoxian were there, so that they could take care of it. Wu Meilian heard that Shen Hao was going to publish a book, and she was so happy that she began to wipe her tears again, Shen Hongguang kept nodding, he was probably also an old Wenqing.

When Shen Jie heard that Brother Hao was going to be a great writer, she was so happy that she seemed to be a writer herself.

"Brother Hao, when your book comes out, you will give me dozens of copies, I will give it to my friends, tell them that this is written by my brother, and you will have to sign it yourself. ”

"Okay, when the book comes out, do as you say. ”

Shen Liang was thinking on the side, Brother Hao is too good, I am under a lot of pressure, I guess my parents are nagging me to study hard again. Brother Hao, can you not be so prominent. Shen Liang had some resentment, but Shen Hao didn't know.

When I returned to Yang's house, I also talked to Qi Qing and Yang Xiaoxian about going out for two weeks and talking about the publication of books, and the eyes of a mother and daughter were about to burst into red hearts. In ninety-six years, the name of a writer can still be used to pick up girls, unlike twenty years later, it will be as bad as cabbage.

"Ah Hao, how long is your head, you can do business, you can use technology, and you can write books. What else would you not have?"

"I won't have a baby. ”

"Ha, ha, ha. Qi Qing and Yang Xiaoxian were both amused to tears of laughter.

"Brother Hao, you have published a book, the first one is to be given to me, and you have to sign your name. ”

"Okay, I promise, the first book will be given to Xiaoxian. ”

Yang Xiaoxian was about to pounce when she heard this, but when she saw her mother beside her, she couldn't help it.

In the evening, Qi Qing knocked on Shen Hao's door again. Qi Qing changed into another pajamas, but the style was more sexy, this vixen wanted to charm Shen Hao, a little scholar.

Shen Hao didn't dare to stare at Qi Qing's pair of crystal eyes.

"I'm not here, you're in charge. The steamed bun shop, the cake shop, and my uncle's side can also help. ”

"Don't worry, these things won't bother me. If you travel alone for such a long time, you have to be careful yourself, and it is not safe to go out. ”

"It's safer than a woman's house for you, I'm worried about you on a business trip. I'm a big man, and no one will be interested. ”

"How could it not be, there are many women who will be interested, be careful not to be lost by wild foxes. ”

Shen Hao said in his heart, I was almost fascinated by your fox now.

The two said a few more words, and Qi Qing twisted his waist and went out. After she left, Shen Hao found that there was a faint fragrance left in the room, it was estimated that Qi Qing had sprayed a perfume, and it smelled very good.

Shen Hao fell asleep in this fragrance, and he didn't have to think about it to know that Qi Qing was going to wash the sheets the next day.

Qi Qing smiled and sent Shen Hao to the car with Yang Xiaoxian and Shen Jie, the car drove away, Shen Hao looked at the three people who waved to him under the car, and felt satisfied, crossing, it's good.

The first to arrive was the Qingjiang Publishing House, which is the closest to the province.

Qingjiang Publishing House is in the provincial capital of a neighboring province, and the office is located in an eighteen-story building, and the decoration is still very magnificent.

Shen Hao took out the letter from the publishing house and said to the waiter at the front desk: "Hello, I am the editor-in-chief Chen, my name is Shen Hao, and my pen name is the vast world." ”

The girl at the front desk looked at him and said, "Please wait a minute, I'll contact Editor-in-Chief Chen." ”

The girl made a phone call, and then said to Shen Hao, "Mr. Shen, please come with me." ”

The girl took Shen Hao to Editor-in-Chief Chen's office, and Shen Hao met Editor-in-Chief Chen.

Editor-in-chief Chen is a middle-aged man in his forties, about 1.74 meters, wearing thick glasses, long hair, and a very literary temperament.

"Ah, you're the vastness of the world, you look so young, what a blessing. ”

"I was also very happy to meet Editor-in-Chief Chen. ”

"Looking at your book, I thought you were a man in his thirties with a long beard, but I didn't expect that you were a person in his early twenties with a little white face. I really can't treat people with literature. ”

Shen Hao couldn't answer either. Editor-in-Chief Chen spoke again.

"I've read your book, and I've read it to other editors-in-chief. Everyone agreed. The idea is new, the plot is good, and the text is sophisticated. We all think that there will be a market, and judging from your outline, it should be more than 2 million words, and it should be published in separate volumes. Are you done with your entire manuscript?"

"It's all done, I've got it. ”

"I'll take a look at the manuscript, it's a contract from our publishing house, and you can take a look at it too. I know you may vote for more than one of us, you refer to it first. ”

Editor-in-chief Chen was reading the manuscript, and Shen Hao was reading the contract.

The contract is a standard format, Shen Hao's income has two parts, after the signing, Shen Hao got the first signing money, which is 80,000 yuan, and then divided according to the sales volume, various channels are divided into forty percent, and the printing cost accounts for two percent, and the remaining forty percent is in the publishing house, and Shen Hao is twenty percent.

If a book is priced at 10 yuan and 100,000 copies are sold, then the total income is 1 million yuan, and Shen Hao's income is 200,000 yuan. This algorithm is still very reasonable, and Shen Hao has no opinion, he believes that his book has sold more than 100,000 copies.

Shen Hao finished reading the contract and waited for Editor-in-Chief Chen. Although Editor-in-Chief Chen only read it roughly and it was very fast, it still took him about an hour to finish reading the manuscript.

"Ah Hao, after reading the whole book, I have more confidence in your book. You have also read the contract, in terms of sharing, it is unlikely that we will change it, but the signing fee, I can help you talk about 100,000 yuan. What do you think?"

"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Chen, I am also very satisfied with this result. I'd rather go to the other two publishers and make a decision, okay?"

"No problem, it's normal. Still, I'd love to hear you work with us. ”

Coming out of Qingjiang Publishing House, the next one is Jindadi Publishing House, Shen Hao is not afraid of spending money, so he goes directly by plane.

The condition given by Jin Dadi is to sign a contract of 50,000 yuan, which will be divided into 20%. Shen Hao didn't want to talk about it either, so he went directly to the third one.

The third publishing house is Wuyue Publishing House, and their condition is to sign a contract of 100,000 yuan, which will be divided into 20%. Shen Hao was still very satisfied with Wuyue Publishing House, and the editor-in-chief Zhang there also gave him a good impression, so he took out the outline and the first twenty chapters of his second book "Fighting Soul Continent", and negotiated with Editor-in-Chief Zhang that he could also set the next book to be published in Wuyue Publishing House, but he asked for it to be divided into two and a half.

Editor-in-chief Zhang was very optimistic about Shen Hao's second book and thought that the second book was better than the first one, so he held a meeting with the president and several vice presidents to discuss, and finally agreed to Shen Hao's request, and Shen Hao's share reached half percent.

Shen Hao signed a contract with Wuyue Publishing House, leaving behind the manuscript and a few floppy disks. Shen Hao got a check for the signing fee of 100,000 yuan, and jointly determined with the publishing house to print 100,000 copies for the first time, see the market reaction, and then determine the second batch. The book is distributed in five volumes, at intervals, depending on the market reaction. Shen Hao's share will be participated by a third-party supervisory agency, and after the sale is completed, it will be calculated and transferred to his account.

Wuyue Publishing House also confirmed with him the release time of the second book, which was set at the beginning of '97.

Shen Hao's affairs are clear, the holiday will end in three days, he has to go home, and after the new book is published, the publishing house will send him a hundred copies, which is enough for him to give away.

As soon as Shen Hao got out of the car, he was welcomed by a large and two little beauties.

In the evening, at Shen's house, Shen Hao reported to Shen Hongguang and Wu Meilian about the signing of the book. Shen Hongguang heard that there was 100,000 yuan in signing money alone, and sighed: "It's still a writer who earns money, and once you get it, it's 100,000 yuan, which is my salary for 20 years." ”

"Given you twenty years, you can't write a book like Hao's. Wu Meilian hit him on the side.

Back at Yang's house, Qi Qing made rice balls again to congratulate the generation of great writers.
