Chapter 17 There is more than enough to lose

"Yiping, please take a seat," the gloomy-looking manager Chen of the publishing department greeted, "You are your class, the champion of liberal arts in your province's college entrance examination, I heard that you did a lot of great things in high school, and now you have a large group company, and your freshman year's schoolwork is already tight, and you have written such a book, which is really not simple, and it is not easy!"

"Manager Xie Chen praised, to be honest, it was also forced by the family's poor economic conditions,"

"Oh yes, look at the resume, you are an old revolutionary area, and the development is indeed slow,"

This Manager Chen has a set of things, he didn't go straight to the topic as soon as he came up, first got close to Feng Yiping, understood his family background, and also understood his style of doing things, and there were a lot of tentative meanings in his words, such as your wealth or something, so as to pave the way for future negotiations.

However, Feng Yiping has long been no rookie.

"Now the economic conditions are better," said Shi Fangsheng, the person in the editorial department, "I heard that you now drive a Mercedes-Benz in and out, which is better than the principal's car,"

This time it was Feng Yiping's turn to be a little stunned, he really couldn't look good, he glanced at this person who looked more amiable than Manager Chen, this word didn't seem right?

"It's even more difficult now, I used to just take care of my own family, but now the company has more than 5,000 employees, and it is still increasing, and it is even more stressful to consider the jobs of so many people,"

The other party is an elder, maybe this is his style of speaking, Feng Yiping didn't want to care about it for the time being, so he didn't fight-for-tat, but he didn't answer his question head-on.

Manager Chen glanced at Shi Fangsheng and hurriedly said, "Yiping, I want to know, which regions have the copyright of your book been given to Harvard Business School Press?"

"All regions except our mainland and Hong Kong and Macau. In addition, in Hong Kong and Macau, I have my own publishing house, and I would like to take this opportunity to operate it. ”

"Oh yes, you've heard of that publishing house, too. Your cutting-edge book is doing well," Manager Chen praised at the right time.

"The main thing is that the team of the publishing house is very effective, and I don't need to ask much about the specific affairs. ”

"Speaking of which, then only the mainland is left?" Seeing that the atmosphere was improving again, Shi Fangsheng was cold and said something that made everyone uncomfortable.

Mr. Jin also felt that this person in the editorial department seemed to be a little wrong, and his attitude was problematic, so he helped Feng Yiping say a word. "We have a population of more than one billion people in the mainland, and we have many countries,"

Manager Chen lowered his head and coughed, "It's not bad to leave the mainland, I know that the style of the Harvard class is generally to have global agency, and it's not easy for you to stay in such a big piece." ”

Shi Fangsheng didn't know what was going on. Again interjected, "As a student at school." Since the book is going to be published, why didn't you think of your school's publishing house in the first place? Do you want a cheap outsider, or a foreign publishing house?"

Feng Yiping glanced at Manager Chen, and Manager Chen shouted, "Lao Shi!"

Shi Fangsheng still looked at Feng Yiping with some complaints.

"I didn't think about publishing it at first, I wanted to serialize it in my own magazine. Harvard came to me again and again, and then I did a good job in publishing the magazine, thinking that it would be okay to publish, and their conditions were very good, so I agreed.

The first few issues of my journal. All the colleges of the school were delivered, the school leader's office was also delivered, and many teachers were also delivered, and of course the publishing house was not left behind, why did no one think of this at that time?

And with all due respect, Mr. Shi, the current focus of the school press is still focused on China, that is, to give you all the global copyrights, can we do as well as Harvard?

It took less than a month for Harbin Commercial Publishing House to achieve the current result, and the same result, Mr. Shi, do you know how long it will take us?

When he said this, he looked at Shi Fangsheng directly, and later tapped his fingers on the table to say it, which was not very polite.

His attitude towards people has not changed with the rise of personal wealth, and it is still taught by his parents when he was a child, "People respect me a foot, and I respect people."

It's not that I begged you, but you took the initiative to find me, and as soon as the leader left, the person in charge was this attitude?

Feng Yiping has a bit of a temper, and now he also has some capital to lose his temper.

As far as this book is concerned, to be honest, when he wrote it, he didn't worry about publishing, so he deliberately left a part of the copyright in his hands.

What's more, now that Harvard is running so successfully, he is more confident in the face of domestic publishers, and he estimates that in just one or two days, there should be many domestic publishing houses coming to his door.

If Shi Fangsheng had a beard, he might be angry now, but this was all his own doing, Feng Yiping was not his student, nor was he an editor under him, so he didn't want to give him face, so he didn't have to give him face.

Feng Yiping looked at him with both cheeks shaking, and the eyes behind the lenses could only see the whites of the eyes, guessing that his next words were nothing more than trying to teach himself a lesson, then come on, face is given by people, but if you want to step on it yourself, then no one can stop it.

Shi Fangsheng also thought so, when was it the turn of a sophomore student to be rebellious in front of me?

However, his words could not be said, and Manager Chen no longer reminded him vaguely this time, but slapped him twice directly in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Lao Shi!"

"Yiping, listen to me, Lao Shi doesn't understand publishing affairs very well, and you are right, when it comes to global distribution, our publishing house, which was only born in the 80s, is definitely not as good as Harbin Business Publishing House, and there is no way to send your book to so many influential readers in such a short period of time like them.

However, you may not know that in the past two years, we have also implemented the strategy of going out, and have established strategic cooperative relations with many publishing companies in Europe and the United States, and have also exported a lot of book copyrights abroad.

"Can you show me the contract you signed with Harbin Business Publishing House?" It seemed that Manager Chen did not have much deterrent effect on Shi Fangsheng, he leaned forward and asked a new question in a fighting posture.

Feng Yiping was no longer able to complain.

"Lao Shi," Manager Chen next to him shouted in an accentuated tone, and the girl who participated in the reception also felt strange, this Teacher Shi. Could it be that an undercover agent sent by another publishing house has been so coldly spoken to the author who holds the copyright of the bestseller, and now he is still making such a request.

"I'm sorry," Feng Yiping just wanted to say a few more words unceremoniously, but the vibrating phone made him swallow those words back, and he stood up, "I'll answer the phone." ”

"Ah, what? Okay, I'll be there right away," he didn't bother to sit down, and he didn't care whether a few people from the publishing house saw that he didn't want to talk anymore, and used this phone call as an excuse to look at Shi Fangsheng, and said to Manager Chen, "I'm sorry." There's something urgent in the company, I have to deal with it immediately, I can only get here here today, I'm very sorry!"

"It's okay, if there is anything you can do first, I will make an appointment with you again," Manager Chen stood up to see Feng Yiping, he knew it. Even if there is a next time, it will not be in the conference room of the publishing house. must have gone to Feng Yiping's territory to find him.

He also made up his mind, next time he went to Feng Yiping, he would definitely go alone, and no one would take him, especially Shi Fangsheng, who was more than defeated.

The vice president personally came forward to pave the good atmosphere, but he was all confused by a few words.

Feng Yiping has already put forward it in business. Why do you say so many things that are not nutritious? He is just a student in school, and he has not joined any of the school's research institutes, and the book was written by himself alone, and the copyright has nothing to do with the school.

You think that Feng Yiping's book is a school teacher in order to fulfill his wish. Find a publisher to find a way to publish a personal monograph that has little market?

Feng Yiping walked neatly, Shi Fangsheng was first shocked and then angry, "This is obviously an excuse for him to let him go?"

The girl who cleaned up the notebook rolled her eyes at the table, too lazy to pay attention to him.

Manager Chen sent them far away, "Lao Shi is that temper, I apologize to you for him, and you can rest assured, your book is so good, and this matter was personally assigned by the leaders of the society, and the publishing house will definitely go all out." ”

"Thank you, Manager Chen, I am really in a hurry today, let's make an appointment again, you stay!"

Thanks to this teacher Shi who was unkind to him for no reason, Feng Yiping, who was reluctant at this time, simply didn't even need to find an excuse.

"I didn't expect them to come up with such a person," Mr. Jin looked at the publishing house behind him, "It's okay, you can do what you want, everyone can understand, and don't worry, although the publishing house belongs to the school, but it is two systems with us, and they can't interfere with the work of our hospital,"

"What if you interfere? Fire me? Or don't give me a graduation certificate?Teacher Jin, do you think I still care about these things now?" Feng Yiping put away the cautious look that he had been in front of the teacher.

Although the school publishing house is not the ideal choice in his mind, because at present, like the publishing houses of other universities, the school publishing house mainly focuses on the publication of textbooks, of course, there are some monographs, but the proportion is not large, and it must also include many books published by professors at their own expense.

In his opinion, the best publishing house for this book in China should be a publishing house like the Commercial Press.

Despite this, out of a sense of collective honor and respect for the school, he also went to today's meeting with sincerity, but he didn't expect the leader to say it very well, and the people below were actually like this.

"Yes, of course you don't care about these now, you are really in school to enrich yourself. If you put a hundred and twenty hearts, the situations you mentioned cannot happen.

How could we expel a student who made a name for himself in his freshman year, and who was remembered by people in the world who wield a great deal of wealth and power? Isn't that a disgrace to yourself?"

"I'm afraid that in the future, as long as you don't kill people and set fires in the school, what you do, the hospital and the school will not be investigated," Teacher Jin said with a smile, "However, you must not be afraid because of my words, whether you are really busy or fake, you should go to the company now, so as not to embarrass them." ”

Not to mention, what Teacher Jin thought of, Feng Yiping really didn't think about it, but it is true, if a student like him is expelled from the school, the school will really slap himself in the face.

"Thank you, instructor, you still know me best!" Feng Yiping returned to his typical good student appearance. (To be continued......)
