Volume 1 Ten Years of Silence Chapter 18 Explosive (2)
"Dad, why are you calling me in such a hurry, I'm still in class!"
"Who wrote that novel you showed me last time?"
"That's it, you can't wait for me to get out of class!"
"It's not that I'm in a hurry!
"It was written by a classmate in our class, named Chen Xiao!"
"Chen Xiao, a student in the third class of junior high school, immediately went to the principal's office when he heard the announcement!" As soon as Deng Fei finished speaking, Deng Zhiqiang turned on the microphone and said!
Chen Xiao, who heard the broadcast, also felt inexplicable, generally this kind of broadcast is not good, what is the matter, it is serious for the principal to ask in person!
"Report!" Chen Xiao knocked on the door!
"Come in!"
"Headmaster, you're looking for me!"
"Someone else is looking for you!" After speaking, Deng Zhiqiang dialed Gao Feng's phone!
"Lao Gao, I found this person for you, but I don't know my wine!"
"Don't worry, you're indispensable!"
"I've been ...... lately"
"I'll send it to you in a few days, won't you?" When will you not speak!" Deng Zhiqiang, who received an affirmative reply, handed the phone to Chen Xiao! and Deng Fei gave Chen Xiao a look on the side, and when he saw that he didn't respond to himself, he was about to die!
"Hello!" greeted Chen Xiao!
"Hello, it's Cheng Kanxue! I'm the editor-in-chief of "Reader", and my name is Gao Feng!"
"Uncle Gao, hello, my pen name is Cheng Kanxue!" Chen Xiao calmly returned, this is to negotiate with people, and the opening can't lose momentum!
"Little brother, you're really hard to find! By the way, I don't know if you have received the agreement we sent some time ago?"
"Roger! just ......"
"Little brother, if there are any requests to mention, we will try our best to meet them!"
"Then I'll be blunt, don't blame Uncle Gao!" "Even if you wait for the price and sell, you still have to have the politeness you should have, and you can't be arrogant!"
"First of all, this manuscript fee is too low, and this copyright belongs to you, I can't agree to it!"
"We have always been like this copyright thing, I can't be the master of this! How about I personally raise the manuscript fee to 80 thousand words, this is about to catch up with the price of our special contract!"
"Since Uncle Gao can't be the master, let's contact you again when you communicate well!
After speaking, Chen Xiao hung up the phone, and Gao Feng on the other end of the phone didn't expect that he was very polite one second, and suddenly changed his face the next second!
Within a few seconds, the peak call really came in again!
"Little brother, why are you in such a hurry to hang up the phone!"
"Uncle Gao didn't say that he couldn't be the master! I won't delay your time! When Uncle Gao has discussed, call me directly! Number: 139xxxxxxxx!"
"Okay! Let's discuss it as soon as possible!"
"Take your time, I'm not in a hurry!"
You're not in a hurry, you're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry! Gao Feng on the other end of the phone thought to himself! But he can't be the master of this matter, I hope the people above can agree!
"I just gave you a look, didn't you see it?" asked Deng Fei back in the classroom!
"I didn't see it! I thought you were cramping!" Chen Xiao joked!
"You ......" Deng Fei pinched Chen Xiao's thigh fiercely!
"Anyway, thank you!" Chen Xiao knew what Deng Fei meant by making his eyes, and besides, even if Deng Fei didn't make his eyes, he would not immediately agree to Gao Feng's conditions!
"Mr. Yang, Vice President Zhang!" As soon as the phone was called, Gao Feng came directly to the boss's office!
"It's Xiao Gao, I'm about to look for you! I heard that the results in this issue are not bad, keep up the good work!"
"I'm about to report to you! Many channels have been sold out now, and I've added 80,000 copies!"
"80,000 copies? Gao Feng, you can't do it now, if you say that 80,000 additional issues are 80,000!" Zhang Long has always been at odds with Gao Feng, so he finally seized the opportunity to naturally make some articles! Yin and Yang said in a weird way!
"Xiao Gao is right about this, I support it! Sometimes the courage to do it has to be done!" Yang Aiguo expressed his support position, otherwise these two people who don't look at each other can really pinch each other, and he also knows what Yang Long relied on to sit in this position!
"Is there anything else?" Yang Aiguo continued to ask, looking at Gao Feng's spitting appearance!
"The reason why we are so popular this time is because we gave priority to a newcomer's novel according to your instructions last time!"
"Haha! It means that I still have a good eye!"
"Just ......"
"Just what?"
"Now the contract has not been signed, if this sues us or is preemptively signed by other publishers, then we will lose a lot!"
"Then hurry up and sign it! What are you still doing here!"
"I've been contacted, but I'm not satisfied with the conditions we offered!"
"Is the first remuneration too low, what big name does a newcomer still swipe, and if he really can't do it, the remuneration will be given according to the special contract!"
"The copyright owner is unwilling to let it!"
"What kind of broken things are written, and the copyright is not allowed!" Zhang Long interjected, but was ignored by both of them, and could only walk out in a gloomy manner!
"What do you think? There is a market for the copyright of this book?" Yang Aiguo ignored Zhang Long and continued to ask!
"Yes, most of the letters from readers are about this!
"Then you can't let it go, what about increasing the remuneration?"
"After talking, people have decided this!"
"What do you think?"
"What I want to say is that without copyright, do we have anything to lose? Based on this month's sales, I estimate that doubling next month will be less!" "Actually, after all, they only spent a small price, if they can double it next month, then this novel will be distributed in twelve issues, and they can also make a lot of money!
"In this case, you have full authority to do this matter, and you can fight for the copyright if you can!"
"Then I'll rest assured!" Gao Feng also breathed a sigh of relief! I couldn't wait to go back to my office and call Chen Xiao!
"Hello Mr. Cheng, we have decided to give you a remuneration of 1000 yuan for 1000 words, as for the copyright...... We're going to buy it for 50,000!" Gao Feng even changed his tone!
"50,000, I can't accept this price! In addition to 50,000, I want to share, I suggest you take a look: 1. I want eight points for sales of less than 100,000 copies; 2. I want 12 points for sales higher than 100,000 and less than 200,000; 3. I want 15 points for sales higher than 200,000!"
"This ...... Mr. Chen is so confident, we definitely can't accept this share!"
"That's a shame!"
"By the way, Mr. Cheng, have you finished this novel?"
"It's done!"
"Then let's sign this agreement as soon as possible!
"Okay!"
After tossing back and forth for so long, it was more than 10,000 yuan, and there was no way to make much money from the simple manuscript fee, and now I had to wait for a publishing house to contact me to buy the copyright! And this 10,000 yuan was only transferred to Zhao Pengjie immediately through Chen Xiao's hand! There has been no good news from Zhao Pengjie's side, and Chen Xiao is also very worried!
In the blink of an eye, the second issue of the novel has also been published by readers, and it is unknown how many Chen Xiao have been added, and even in school, Chen Xiao can frequently hear all kinds of discussions about "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years"! The degree of popularity can be imagined! And Chen Xiao finally received a call from the publishing house, and as for how the phone was leaked, this is obviously the work of the reader's insiders! There is a sentence that does not say: There is nothing that cannot be done with money! If it does not work, it can only mean that the money is not enough! Of course, the publishing house also came to inquire with a fluke mentality, after all, the copyright in the industry was taken away by the magazine, let alone a newcomer!
Of course, in the end, without exception, they all got a positive answer, and everyone was measuring, because Chen Xiao's conditions were too high, and readers were no exception! Gao Feng is still trying his best to fight for it, because if the copyright is snatched away by other publishing houses, then the biggest loss is undoubtedly the readers, after all, his plan is to send ten issues, if other people's books are published, who would be willing to wait for so many issues to buy a magazine to read!
"Mr. Yang, as far as I know, many publishing houses have been contacting the author recently......!
"Still don't want to let go?" Of course, Yang Aiguo knew who the author Gao Feng was referring to, after all, Chen Xiao had brought them not only joy but also troubles in the past two months!
"The attitude is tough!"
"Didn't we sign an agreement before we had to wait until the magazine was out before it could be published!"
"I've read it three times, no!" Gao Feng reluctantly returned! After all, the author is not stupid, and he has been dragging it out because of copyright issues, and it is strange that he is willing to sign this kind of clause! If the magazine keeps delaying and does not finish publishing, then it will not miss the golden period of publication! To put it bluntly, if the copyright cannot be obtained, the reader is equivalent to helping others make a few issues of advertising for free, of course, the reader cannot be said to be without income, at least the sales of these two months are there!
"This must still be paid attention to, all those who require themselves to hold copyrights, all add this article!" Gao Feng is not concerned about what will happen in the future at all, what he wants to hear about the results of Chen Xiaoti's conditional communication now!
"Now this ......"
"Wait!
Gao Feng walked out of the office dejectedly, and could only pray in his heart that Chen Xiao had not signed a contract with another publishing house before there was a result!
Three more days have passed since this discussion! Gao Feng, who finally received an affirmative answer, happily dialed Chen Xiao's phone!
"Hello Mr. Chen, after discussion in our company, we agreed to Mr. Chen's conditions!"
"Yes, but I can only say to Mr. Gao that it's a pity!"
"Already signed an agreement?"
"Yes! just yesterday!" The day before Gao Feng contacted him, Chen Xiao had reached an intention with Baihua, and Baihua not only agreed to Chen Xiao's previous conditions, but also agreed that Chen Xiao retained the copyright of traditional Chinese!
"This ...... I don't know which publisher?"
"Hundred Flowers Literature and Art!"
Gao Feng felt a deep sense of powerlessness while feeling remorseful in his heart! But no matter how angry he was, it was useless, which also laid the groundwork for Gao Feng to run away from the reader in the future!
