Chapter 155: Finalized Publication

"Mr. Fan, do you still want to sign this person and sign this book?" Xia Xiaoyu said in surprise.

Fan Huacheng sat back in his seat with a smile, patted the armrest of the chair and decided: "Yes! I have personally read this book, although it is really like what Editor-in-Chief Zhang said, it lacks female characters and has too much murderous spirit, but it is really wonderful! It is rare to meet a good book that a big publishing house does not dare to publish, and if we don't sign it, we will definitely regret it!"

"Then you're not afraid of copyright disputes with those film companies?"

"What's there to be afraid of? You don't know the situation of our publishing house, if we continue to survive half-dead like this, do you think we can last a few years? Just sign this book! If this book doesn't become popular, it's fine, and those big film companies won't have any copyright lawsuits with a novel that no one reads, and if it becomes popular, our fame will suddenly become much bigger! It will be known to many writers, and when the time comes, we will not only be able to make money on this book, but also receive other high-quality manuscript sources! Maybe we will be able to turn our losses into profits in one fell swoop and get rid of the current half-dead state! As for those film companies? Let's say hello to that Wen Chou and ask him to write as many horror movies as possible about those European and American film companies, because those film companies in Europe and the United States may not notice this book, and even if they do, we are far away from the ocean, they may not really fight a lawsuit with us for this little thing, even if they take 10,000 steps back, they really fight a lawsuit with us, it will be worth it! As long as we don't sue us for bankruptcy, we will be able to receive a batch of high-quality manuscripts and come back to life!

The barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes!

This was what Fan Huacheng thought at that time.

Xia Xiaoyu listened to Fan Huacheng's words. The eyes are also bright.

In her heart, she also understands that a small publishing house like theirs can't do tricks. It is almost impossible to grow in the cracks of those big publishing houses.

And this opportunity in front of us is a great opportunity to make a miracle move! An opportunity to make a name for itself as a publishing house.

"Then I'll go and ask He Ying to sign a contract with that Wen Chou now?" Xia Xiaoyu was persuaded and immediately wanted to do it.

"No hurry!"

Fan Huacheng took out a cigarette and lit it, took a comfortable puff, and Zhizhu said in his hand: "Now that Wen Chou can't find a publishing house to publish that book for him." That's why even a small publishing house like ours submits, and now it's time for us to take care of him, wait! A week later, I will notify him to sign the contract, and the review time of those big publishing houses is at least half a month, and we are still the earliest. If he is notified to sign today. It's going to be hard for us to sign his book at a low price!"

Xia Xiaoyu suddenly realized.

A week later, the signing notice was sent to Lu Yang's mailbox, but unfortunately, their offer was only 4500 for newcomers and new books per episode, and there were several big publishing houses that did not reply, so Lu Yang did not reply to them at all.

This happened for a few days, and Fan Huacheng, who was getting more and more anxious, went to ask He Ying for news every morning and evening.

It seems that another four days have passed, plus a week of deliberate delay. It's been almost half a month, and it's almost time for the review deadline of those big publishing houses. Fan Huacheng finally couldn't calm down.

"I can't wait any longer! It's been four days since the signing notice was sent, and the Wen Chou hasn't replied, which means that he can't look at the newcomer price of 4500 for the last episode, or is waiting for the review results of several other publishing houses, Xiaoyu! You go and ask He Ying to send another email to him, sue him, and we can talk about the conditions! 4500 can't do it, we will raise the price for him, 6000, 7000 can be considered! Up to 7000! If he is still not satisfied, then ask him if he can sign the royalty share? We will give him up to 12% How much money he can make depends on whether his book can be popular! If he doesn't have confidence in the book himself, he must buy it out, if 7,000 is not enough, forget it!"

"Okay! Mr. Fan!"

After Xia Xiaoyu received the order, he immediately hurried out of the office to explain to He Ying.

This matter is related to their next fate, and the premise of whether this trick can be performed smoothly is whether they can sign the book.

Otherwise, no matter how well Fan Huacheng planned, he would not have succeeded at all without such a draft.

……

So, after Lu Yang finished coding that night, he logged in to the mailbox again to see if there was any news from other publishing houses, and he saw a new email from E Publishing House again.

Lu Yang thought it was just an ordinary email urging him to sign a contract, so he opened it casually, and then saw the latest offer from E Publishing House.

6000 per episode, or 10% of the royalty fee.

The price of 6,000 per episode has already been signed with "The Great Warlords of the Three Kingdoms" to C Publishing House, and Lu Yang was a little surprised when he saw this offer.

E Publishing House, Lu Yang is no stranger, before rebirth, the first work of his coding career, was published by that publishing house, a few years later, when E Publishing House was in difficulty, he even offered a high price of 161 episodes in the industry to dig tomatoes in the past, but unfortunately, Tomato didn't pay attention to it at all, and then another year or two later, E Publishing House went out of business.

Lu Yang's current fame, of course, cannot be compared with tomatoes a few years later.

Tomato is in the online literature industry,Basically, it belongs to the kind of bug storage zài,Except for the first "Legend of Xingfeng" there is no fire,Code words for many years,One book is more popular than one book,It has long occupied the top position on the starting point monthly ticket list,On the annual list,It is also a frequent visitor to the top of the list,It is completely the guarantee of popularity。

Therefore, when he was at the peak of his popularity, E Publishing House, which has always been reluctant to offer a high price, dared to grit its teeth and quote a sky-high price of 161 episodes.

161 episodes, only 65,000 words!

Before 2010, few publishers in Taiwan offered such prices to online writers.

But the strength of e-publishing house is still too small after all, and even if you can get a high price for a while when you sign a contract with them, you have no future for development.

So. That night, when Lu Yang saw their offer of 6,000 episodes, although he was surprised. But he was still unmoved, he would rather sign 5000 episodes to a larger publishing house than cooperate with E Publishing House, a publishing house that will close down in a few years.

But behind the quotation of 6000 episodes, the sentence or the condition of 10% of the royalty split made Lu Yang quite moved.

Royalty sharing, not a famous author with a certain popularity, the publishing house does not sign this with you at all. Even if you reluctantly sign it, the money you can get may not be as much as the buyout of thousands of dollars per episode.

But Lu Yang has confidence in "Infinite Killing". So, after thinking about it for a while, I sent an email.

"If we get a 15% share of the royalties, we can sign a contract!"

……

Next. When Fan Huacheng sat in the office. When he heard the number reported by He Ying, his brows furrowed, Wen Chou can quote, which shows that the two sides have talked, unlike before, people didn't even bother to reply to their offers, which made people full of rhetoric. I can't use it.

It's hard to know where to start.

is only a 15% royalty share, which obviously exceeds his psychological bottom line.

Xia Xiaoyu and He Ying were waiting for his decision.

I heard that Publishing House B seems to be planning to share the publication tax. I heard that they couldn't decide whether the book would be popular or not, so they didn't dare to buy it out at a high price, and only dared to use royalty sharing to try it......" Xia Xiaoyu said with some worry on the side.

In the past, Publishing House B was slightly more famous than Publishing House C, but in the last year or two, Publishing House C has gradually surpassed Publishing House B, but even so, Publishing House B is still much stronger than their E Publishing House.

"Are you sure? Are they really going to sign the book on royalty terms?"

Fan Huacheng, who already had a headache, was shocked when he heard this.

Under his sharp gaze, Xia Xiaoyu nodded wordlessly.

Fan Huacheng lowered his head again, unconsciously pinching his temples with his fingers, still hesitating in his heart.

"Any idea how much royalty they plan to give?"

After a while, Fan Huacheng asked in a low voice.

"I didn't hear about this......"

In fact, Fan Huacheng also knows that even if the share of Publishing House B is lower than theirs, most of the Wen Chou will choose Publishing House B, because they are a big publishing house, and after the book is signed, there will be better opportunities for cooperation in the future.

What a headache!

Half a month is coming, and the review results of Publishing House B may be sent to the hands of that Wen Chou at any time, and when there is a competitor of Publishing House B, he Fan Hua will have no chance.

Fan Huacheng suddenly regretted why he had delayed for a week before giving Wen Chou the notice of signing the contract, if there was an extra week of negotiation time, they would have a lot of room to operate.

He really didn't want to give up this opportunity to make a dangerous move, and if he missed such an opportunity, he didn't know if there would be a second similar opportunity.

"He Ying! Send him another email! 14% of the share, if he still doesn't agree, ...... Just say 15%!"

He Ying and Xia Xiaoyu were surprised when they heard this order, they both knew that Fan Huacheng's previous bottom line was 12%, but they didn't expect him to accept 15%?

Can the bottom line be breached?

"Let's do it quickly! I finally made up my mind, don't let B Publishing House take the lead in the end!" Fan Huacheng urged again.

He Ying reacted, hurriedly agreed, and immediately went out to inform the author.

So, when he came back from school that afternoon, Lu Yang, who was concerned about the other party's reply, was on the computer and saw the other party's third offer - 14%.

Seeing this number, Lu Yang smiled.

This figure has exceeded Lu Yang's psychological bottom line, in fact, Lu Yang's previous offer of 15% was done to the other party's counteroffer to 12%, bargaining!

But the other party did not bargain to 12%, but 14%, which made Lu Yang see the bottom line of the other party, which was by no means 14%. So, Lu Yang replied again.

"At least 15%!"

Then, more than an hour later, the other party's reply came.

"Okay! 15% is 15%, but we have to sign the contract tomorrow morning, and then you send us the first two episodes, and we will arrange proofreading and typesetting immediately!" (To be continued......)
