Chapter 7 The Suddenly Shrewd Guo Dalu

"50,000 yuan to buy the copyright of my Condor shooting?"

Guo Dalu glared at Jiang Dongliu, "Lao Jiang, do you know how great the potential of the copyright of my book is?"

He said to the two: "Let me tell you, I don't have a few hundred million yuan in the copyright of this Condor shooting, so don't even think about not being able to get it, and even if you give hundreds of millions, I won't sell it! Let's not talk about this copyright." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Guo Dalu is in his extra memory, but he clearly knows how important the copyright of this condor shooting is, this is simply a cash cow!

It is no problem for the Yellow River Literature and Art Publishing House to give him a little more or less, as long as it is reasonable, he will not have any objections, but the copyright must be in his own hands.

Although he is short of money, he is not so short-sighted as he is for this money.

Jiang Dongliu saw that Guo Dalu was a little angry, and hurriedly said: "Dalu, the copyright matter lies in your willingness, since you don't agree, then forget it! Today we will only talk about the manuscript fee!"

In fact, this "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is now only favored by a few people in their publishing house, and as for the market situation of publishing and distribution, it is not something that the people in the publishing house can correctly predict.

There used to be many books that were favored by many people before they were published, but once they entered the market, they could not withstand the test of the market and became unsalable.

Therefore, even these old birds of Jiangdongliu and other publishing houses are difficult to completely grasp the quality of their works and the market situation.

Speaking from his heart, Jiang Dongliu said that 50,000 yuan to buy a copyright is actually not a low price for a newcomer, after all, whether this book can be popular in the future, no one can package it 100%.

But Guo Dalu knew how great the potential of his book was, so he naturally would not agree to this price.

He Chunsheng next to him said with a smile: "Mr. Guo, this Condor Shooting is indeed very good, but you said that the copyright can be worth hundreds of millions, is it a bit too much to take it for granted?"

"Taken for granted?"

Guo Dalu glanced at He Chunsheng, and said with his nose to the sky: "The Sprinkle family has this confidence!"

He Chunsheng saw that he was so funny that he even used the word "sprinkle family", and he wanted to laugh for a while but was embarrassed to laugh, so he held his breath and lowered his head and didn't say anything more, and handed over all the things to Jiang Dongliu to talk about.

In fact, He Chunsheng came this time mainly to meet the author Guo Dalu.

At that time, when Jiang Dongliu said that Guo Dalu was just a pork seller, He Chunsheng was extremely interested, and he really couldn't associate the image of a pork seller with the image of a writer of novels, and the novel seemed to him to be so well written.

At the first glance of Guo Dalu today, this sense of disobedience was even stronger.

Guo Dalu is 1.9 meters tall and tall. Because of the reason for practicing boxing just now, it is extremely simple to wear at this time.

A small elastic vest on the upper body, large pants on the lower body, and sneakers on the feet. The muscles up and down the body reached an astonishing amount that almost burst the entire vest.

The whole person feels like a humanoid tank, and it is even more visually impactful than a professional bodybuilding guy.

But such a sturdy and scary guy wrote a breathtaking novel, which made He Chunsheng, who was accustomed to writers being weak in literature, feel very uncomfortable.

At this time, looking at Guo Dalu, who was talking to Jiang Dongliu, a thought suddenly rose from He Chunsheng's mind, "I'm afraid that only this kind of person can write a real martial arts novel." ”

When he thought about it, he immediately felt comfortable.

Guo Dalu's image is so rude, in ancient times, it was a heroic man who slaughtered pigs and dogs.

Sure enough, only such a person can write such a cool martial arts work, no wonder the previous weak scholars couldn't write this feeling!

While He Chunsheng was sitting next to him and constantly making excuses for Guo Dalu's writing, Jiang Dongliu had already discussed the issue of royalties with Guo Dalu.

"Dalu, let's not talk about copyright, now let's talk about royalties. ”

Guo Dalu looked dazed: "What is royalty?"

Jiang Dongliu sighed, "Dalu, have you never been in contact with entertainment? ”

Guo Dalu said: "Isn't this nonsense? My previous jobs were not next to entertainment, where can I understand?"

Jiang Dongliu said: "Okay, I'll explain." ”

He explained to Guo Dalu: "As for the royalties, to put it simply, it is the commission of the number of your book printed and the sales price of a single copy, the royalty of newcomers in the industry is generally 8 percent, and well-known writers can reach 12 to 15 percent, but Dalu ......"

Jiang Dongliu said: "Because we have already paid part of your remuneration by paying the manuscript fee according to the number of words, we can no longer fight for you in the royalties, so we can only calculate the royalties for you at 8% of the new writers." ”

After knowing Jiang Dongliu's words, Guo Dalu really understood the small abacus of the publishing house.

When they paid for their contributions, they gave themselves a seemingly fair price, but when they talked about royalties, they pressed hard.

In Guo Dalu's memory, he knows how popular this "Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be, once such a novel comes out, it is possible to sell millions of copies, and if he makes a slight concession on royalties, he will lose a lot of money.

For this situation, Guo Dalu was naturally unwilling.

"Lao Jiang, your publishing house is a bit unauthentic!"

Guo Dalu looked at Jiang Dongliu, "The manuscript fee of my book is a small amount of money, and the royalty is the big one! Are you bullying me for not understanding the market?"

He said to Jiang Dongliu: "You are like this, I don't want the 85,000 remuneration, and you can raise the royalty to 15% for me, do you think it's okay?"

When Jiang Dongliu and He Chunsheng came, Wang Qinglong, the president of the Yellow River Literature and Art Publishing House, had already told the two, "Be sure to maximize the benefits of royalties!"

When Wang Qinglong saw the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he knew that the turning point of the publishing house was coming, but based on the nature of a businessman, no matter how good this book is, he still has to maximize his benefits.

To increase the remuneration to gain Guo Dalu's favor, and then inadvertently reduce the royalties to the minimum, this is the ultimate purpose of Jiang Dongliu and He Chunsheng here.

For the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the entire publishing house is unanimously optimistic, they are naturally more concerned about royalties, even if Jiang Dongliu and Guo Dalu are familiar with each other, for the sake of interests, this small boat of friendship is also overturned, not to mention that the two are only general friends.

Jiang Dongliu originally saw that Guo Dalu didn't understand anything about the literary circle, especially when he gave him tens of thousands of manuscript fees, he had a satisfied expression, and thought that today's negotiation would easily achieve the goal.

But I didn't expect that when it came to copyright, Guo Dalu suddenly became shrewd, not only did he not sell the copyright of his work, but he also disagreed with the royalties he said, which greatly surprised Jiang Dongliu's expectations.

"Da Lu, you're just a newcomer, how can the royalty rise to fifteen points?"

Jiang Dongliu was a little angry, "In the entire publishing industry, only a few famous writers can reach the height of 15 points, and ordinary writers are 8 to 10 percent, and more than 10 points are rare!"

Guo Dalu said: "I don't care! Lao Tzu is suddenly very unhappy with you now! It's a big deal that this book is no longer published by your publishing house, and there are many other publishing houses!"

Jiang Dongliu understands Guo Dalu's temper a little, this guy is the master of what he says, if he really wants him to look unpleasant, I am afraid that if he gives him 50% of the royalties, he may not cooperate with his own publishing house.

Now hearing him say this, he was suddenly startled, "Don't! Don't be angry!"

He reassured Guo Dalu and said, "Shall I ask our president?

Guo Dalu glared and said: "I think about it, I don't want fifteen points, you give me twelve points, even if this matter is negotiated, if it is less than twelve points, dry bird feathers!
