Chapter 43: Signing the Contract and Returning Home

The next morning.

Gu Tianhua, editor-in-chief of Zhige Publishing House, interviewed Xiang Yun in the teahouse, publishing a book, you can not only make money, but also earn fame, and you can also pretend to be forced, why not?

There are very few people who know about the new Chuwu Four Styles, but if it can be printed and published, I believe it can cause widespread attention and sensation, and maybe it can be included in textbooks, not to mention how much benefit it can get, at least it can increase Xiang Yun's personal influence, and at the very least, it can be mixed with the title of a young scholar.

It's hard to mix up without a background these days.

So Xiang Yun is not resistant to this kind of thing.

The newly revised version of Chu Wu Sishi is only more than 30,000 words, and it is not really original content, so it is not very suitable for the distribution of regular single copies.

But this thing is also easy to do, Xiang Yun will comprehend the "Xiang style four styles" also added, there are these harder original dry goods, the number of words can also reach about seventy or eighty thousand, and then add some materials, which is enough to meet the standards of the book.

If Xiang Yun's modification of Chu Wu's four styles only stays at the further optimization of the original version, then the integration of the four styles is a semi-original exercise, and he relied on this to defeat Zhang Tianyi.

The four styles of Chu Wu are not strong alone, when the four styles are fused into a complete exercise, it can almost be compared to the effect of some advanced exercises, of course, it is not easy to practice the four styles in one, first of all, the four styles must be mastered at the same time and at least practiced to the level of proficiency, which is quite difficult for ordinary people.

Gu Tianhua excitedly jumped with his liver.

He originally just wanted to sign the copyright of Xiang Yun's new version of Chu Wu's four styles, but he never expected that Xiang Yun was not only willing to take out the copyright of the new four styles, but also handed over the unique "Xiang Style Four Styles Basic Exercises", which was simply a good thing to buy one get one free.

With Gu's editor-in-chief many years of experience, once this book is published, it will be difficult to think that it will not become popular!

"Now the royalty market is basically transparent, the royalty of newcomers is 6-7%, the royalty of ordinary scholars is about 8-10%, and the royalty of well-known scholars is about 11-15%. Royalties for top academics can reach around 16-20%. ”

Xiang Yun nodded after listening, Gu Tianhua didn't need to lie to himself in this kind of thing.

"Of course, your situation must not be measured by newcomers. Gu Tianhua pondered for a moment and said to Xiang Yun, "I think it is more reasonable to sign a contract according to the royalty standard of well-known scholars at the level of this work, what do you think?"

It sounds like a newcomer signing a publication directly with the treatment of a well-known scholar.

"We're not going around in circles. Xiang Yun took a sip of Lingmai tea and said with a smile: "Since Editor-in-Chief Gu is a professional, then he should know the value and audience of this work itself. ”

The publishing house publishes the work, and it needs to bear the cost itself.

As a pure newcomer, Xiang Yun can get a well-known scholar's royalty is already very high, but as Xiang Yun said, this book is bound to sell well and cause a sensation, and many publishing houses are afraid that they will find a way to take it even if they lose money.

It's not just a matter of money, it's also about building up the reputation of the publisher!

Gu Tianhua hurriedly said: "Frankly speaking, as the editor-in-chief, I can only give the author a maximum of 15% royalty, if it is higher, I must ask the editor-in-chief, but I believe that this will be a popular work, so I will cut it first and then give you 20% royalty directly, what do you think?"

He looked at the young man in front of him with some nervousness.

In fact, when signing such a work, the profit is secondary, and Zhige Publishing House does not care about this profit, but rather the impact of the content.

Therefore, if Xiang Yun continues to raise prices, he will definitely be able to fight for a few more points.

But think about it carefully, don't be too greedy, other publishing houses also have costs, and you always have to make some money, don't you? What's more, for Xiang Yun, this set of works can be said to be a no-brainer, and the future will be long.

"Editor-in-Chief Gu is full of sincerity. Xiang Yun thought for a while and said, "No problem!

Gu Tianhua showed a look of surprise, he didn't expect Xiang Yun to be so refreshing, and immediately raised his hand lightly and shouted, "Lawyer Zhuang." ”

A man in a black suit, with eyes and eyes, and a meticulous look walked over, Xiang Yun saw this person, and immediately felt the temperament of serious order, even if he didn't need to be firm in the book of heaven, he knew that this person was a Legalist.

The Chinese Legalists are in charge of the criminal law and can be said to be the defenders of the social system.

At the same time, the strength of the Legalists is not weak, and they are especially good at dealing with demons and ghosts.

The Legalist Gongfa is not strong, but it is proficient in seal control.

"Hello, my name is Zhuang Rui, the contractor of this agreement, the notary. Lawyer Zhuang shook hands with Xiang Yun, his demeanor and temperament were meticulous, and then he took out a printed contract from his briefcase, "This is a legalist contract, if there is no problem, the two can sign it directly, once the contract is signed, it will have legalist effect, and the defaulter will pay the price of breach of contract according to the content of the agreement." ”

The reason why this Chinese world, which has a huge gap in individual strength, can still maintain order can be said to be due to the fact that this kind of Legalist contract book is like the demon contract in a fantasy novel, there is no way to destroy it, and there is no way to tamper with it.

The contract set by the senior Legalist monk can also have binding force outside the system, such as the violator being punished by heaven, the spirit of repulsion, and the forced curse. Some Legalist monks in the Immortal Realm can even jointly formulate laws and regulations in the region, and if they are violated, they can be sensed by the Legalist power and can directly solve it in the air, and even after the death of the Legalist power, the law will still operate for a period of time, and the heavenly punishment will be sent down to punish the violator.

Lawyer Zhuang is relatively young, and it is more than enough to draw up a publishing contract for the three veins of Ning Yuan, after all, this is not a big contract, and there is no need to add mandatory constraints.

Xiang Yun saw it and felt that there was no problem, so he directly pressed the handprint.

The power of Legalism is effective in the flow of the contract, and the contract has already had legal effect.

Gu Tianhua stood up and shook hands with Xiang Yun: "I believe that it won't be long before you will become a cutting-edge scholar in the Chu Kingdom, and if you have the opportunity to cooperate again, I hope to continue to choose Zhige Publishing House." ”

"No problem!"

The two chatted for a while, and then went their separate ways.

Xiang Yun was in a good mood, he didn't expect that he could make money by modifying the exercises, and he could also publish the "New Baiyue Five Forms" and the five-in-one "Xiang Style Five Forms" in his hands. In addition, "Divine Bow Collapse Fist" can also be published in martial arts journals in the form of academic papers.

Tianshu Yuan Soul is really a tool that can make money while lying down.

It will undoubtedly greatly alleviate the economic pressure in future cultivation, and can also increase Xiang Yun's status in society, so that no cat or dog can oppress him.

"Oh no! I almost forgot the most important thing!"

Xiang Yun looked at the time, was immediately startled, hurriedly left the teahouse, touched the only dozens of yuan left in his pocket, reluctantly called a taxi, and came directly to Yangzhou Floating Port.

Mr. Qin and Lin Qianqiu waited to board the ship in the domestic aviation hall.

It's almost time to set sail at this time, and in the process of queuing, she was still looking around, and when she saw Xiang Yun's figure running in a hurry, her eyes lit up, and she immediately left.

"How did you kid get here?"

"Of course, I'm here to send Teacher Qin and Teacher Lin!"

"Even if you still have a little conscience, you should be careful here, if you are bullied, remember to call me. ”

Qin Hongyan first put on a righteous and thin cloud sky, and your sister Hong will cover your posture, patted Xiang Yun casually, almost nailed him to the ground, and then reprimanded him in a teacher's tone.

"And you're too weak now, hurry up and cultivate, you can't slack off because of a little reputation, you know? The competition in Xichu University is fierce, and your cultivation is really too low!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Xiang Yun's head nodded like an electric shock.

He was really scared, and Teacher Qin slapped him again.

Lin Qianqiu also said to Xiang Yun: "You are now a member of Xichu University, although you are not officially enrolled, but you are not something that outsiders can bully casually, you can contact us if you need help." ”

"Students understand!"

Why are they also organized people now, the reputation of Xichu University is not a joke, and ordinary people have to retreat.

"Hey, the boat is leaving, it's time for us to go. ”

The floating boat starts, detaches from the floating dock, and slowly sails into the sky. Qin Hongyan saw that the young figure was still standing on the pier and beckoning to her, and she couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of her mouth, and several strangers around her were stunned.

I have to say that once Qin Hongyan is quiet, she is really a goddess with a temperament, good looks and figure, no matter where she goes, the return rate is more than 90%, but if you have a deep enough understanding of her, no matter where she goes, the escape rate is close to 100%.

Teacher Qin has gone back, so I should go back too!

Xiang Yun touched the money in his pocket, and there were five yuan and three cents, fortunately, he took the shuttle bus home, as long as five yuan, otherwise he could only walk back.

Xiang Yun is a native of Yangzhou, and his home is not in Yangzhou City.

Yangzhou City is administratively divided into eight districts and four counties, with a total population of nearly 10 million.

Xiang Yun's family lives in Yushui County, a county town with a population of more than 800,000 people, about two or three hundred miles to the south, where his parents and sister live.

A pair of honest and ordinary faces and a well-behaved and sensible little girl came to his mind.

His father's name is Chen Shi, his mother's name is Xu Cui, and his younger sister Chen Guoguo is thirteen years old and only graduated from primary school this year. Xiang Yun has the same surname as his father because Xiang Yun is an adopted son.

According to Xiang Yun's previous knowledge, Xiang Yun was raised to the Chen family by a stranger when he was very young, and this person gave Chen Shi and his wife a sum of money to let the couple raise the child.

There are no other requirements, only one point, you can't change your surname.

Chen Shi and Xu Cui don't know why this stranger would make such a request, but fortunately, this world history has always maintained the vitality of a hundred schools of thought, and the influence of Confucian traditional ideas on Chinese people is not as deep as that of the earth, and adopting a child itself is not a strange thing, and it will not be too favored if you change your surname.

For more than ten years, strangers have never been nowhere to be found, but Xiang Yun, the adopted son, has always been regarded by Chen Shi and his wife as their own and regarded him as their only son, so the family's feelings are very deep. Although the former Xiang Yun is no longer there, the memories and emotions have been completely copied to the current Xiang Yun.

This made Xiang Yun not feel the slightest sense of estrangement towards his family, but felt cordial when he thought of his family, which was a deep feeling that blood was thicker than water.

No matter how much he is stared at outside, no matter how much ridicule he receives outside, no matter how long he wanders outside, there is always such a place in the world that makes him feel warm from the heart, even if he goes to the ends of the earth, he is always concerned.

This is his home.

It is the only home.

It's time to go home!
