About three minutes later, Xia Wenzhi came to the conference room next to the second-year mathematics teaching and research room under the leadership of Zhao Hang, but Zhao Hang did not follow in, only Xia Wenzhi walked into the conference room alone.

And Chen Tianxiang and Yang Zhongming, who were sitting on Tao Li's left and right, also had a general understanding of what happened, but after all, it was Tao Li's book edited by him, so basically the copyright matter only needed Tao Li's nod, and the two of them would not be too involved.

"Teacher Tao, Teacher Yang, Teacher Chen, this is the boss of XX Publishing House, Boss Xia Wenzhi, Boss Xia, this is Teacher Tao Litao, these two are Teacher Yang Zhongming Yang and Teacher Chen Tianxiang Chen, the two of them are also the editors of "Friends of Mathematics". ”

After Xia Wenzhi walked in, Zhang Haisheng began to introduce each other.

"Teacher Tao, Teacher Yang, Teacher Chen, I have been looking up for a long time, I didn't expect to see your deities one day. Xia Wenzhi hurriedly greeted with a smile.

"Boss Xia is polite. Tao Li also responded with a smile.

"Then you talk first, I won't be here. Seeing that both sides had arrived, Zhang Haisheng's purpose had been achieved, so he stood up and said.

"There's Principal Lao Zhang. Tao Li, Xia Wenzhi and others also hurriedly stood up and said with a smile.

After seeing Zhang Haisheng walk out of the conference room, the four of them sat down again and officially entered the negotiation.

"Three teachers, then I won't go around the bush, so I will get straight to the point, I am very optimistic about the teaching aid book "Friends of Mathematics" compiled by you, and I want to ask if I can buy the copyright of this book?"

"Of course, in terms of copyright fees, everything can be negotiated, this is the terms of the contract I prepared last night, the three of you can take a look, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, we can continue to discuss, this is not the final terms of the contract. With that, Xia Wenzhi took out the printed contract from his briefcase and sent one to Tao Li and the others.

This contract was drafted by Xia Wenzhi overnight after Zhao Hang left last night, and most of the content in the contract is similar to the rest of the copyright contract, but there are a few clauses, Xia Wenzhi has made corresponding modifications, such as in terms of sharing, Xia Wenzhi has given the highest proportion of copyright sharing, which can be regarded as an olive branch thrown by Xia Wenzhi, otherwise if it is replaced by other people who compile books for the first time, the proportion of sharing must be given according to the lowest proportion.

But Tao Li is Tao Li after all, and Xia Wenzhi doesn't want to leave a bad impression on him because of this little profit.

Tao Li, Chen Tianxiang and Yang Zhongming took the contract, and began to look at it seriously, it seems that this Boss Xia has been prepared for a long time, and he can come up with a complete contract after the first negotiation.

For the relevant clauses in the contract, Tao Li felt that it was already very generous, but when it came to interests, Xia Wenzhi gave him the highest specifications, such as the share ratio after a book was sold, Huaxia is generally between 6% and 12%, and Xia Wenzhi directly gave a 12% share ratio.

Of course, such a high share ratio is also conditional, because Xia Wenzhi is asking for "exclusive publishing rights"! That is to say, except for his publishing house, Tao Li is not allowed to sign publishing contracts with other publishing houses. And the contract states that the term of the exclusive right to publish is ten years!

However, Xia Wenzhi was very wise and did not choose to buy out Tao Li's copyright directly, because he also knew that Tao Li would definitely not sell the copyright of the book directly to him, so he chose not to buy out the copyright of the book, but only bought the publishing rights for ten years.

If Xia Wenzhi wants to reprint, he will have to pay Tao Li a part of the copyright fee again, which is the difference between buying out and not buying out. If you don't buy it out, the copyright still belongs to the author, and all commercial activities of the book need to be approved by the copyright owner.

"How is it, do you think this contract is okay?" Seeing that the three of them put down the contract, Xia Wenzhi asked with a smile.

"We can give you the exclusive publishing rights, but I want to see your printing effect, as far as I know, Boss Xia's publishing house has its own printing house. Tao Li said with a smile.

In this kind of monopoly situation, the most feared thing is that the printing quality is not up to standard, and the other point is that the price of the book will be too high.

"This is as it should be, Mr. Tao can give me the electronic version of the book, and I can take a few printed books and send them over tomorrow. Xia Wenzhi replied. However, he felt that Tao Li was a little too worried, if he wanted to occupy the market, quality was the first priority, and Xia Wenzhi would not smash his own signboard.

"Also, the contract needs to specify that the price of the book cannot exceed 25 percent of the highest price of the same type of book on the market! I know that the price of the book should not be decided by me, but I don't want you to sit on the ground and start the price, so I'm sorry I used that word. Tao Li continued.

"I understand. However, what the specific price should be, we will talk about it in detail later, and Mr. Tao still needs to add or modify anything. He waved his hand and said with a smile. He's a businessman, and of course he's looking to maximize profits. So in terms of pricing, he still has to dominate.

"Yes. In addition, if the response to this book is good, we plan to continue to compile a series of reference books that will cover the entire high school mathematics, but of course only in mathematics, and if this time the cooperation is enjoyable, I hope to continue to work together in the future. Tao Li smiled, and then released such a bombshell.

Tao Li, Yang Zhongming and others originally planned to compile a series of reference books covering the entire high school mathematics, and this time the content of the second semester of the second year of high school was just to test the market, or the reaction of students, if it is very popular, it will definitely improve this series.

Xia Wenzhi's eyes lit up, and Tao Li's words were very meaningful, which means that if this talk is not appropriate, then what he will lose is not only the publishing rights of this "Friends of Mathematics", but a whole set of publishing rights.

"If that's the case, of course that's the best! I also hope to have further cooperation with Mr. Tao. Xia Wenzhi hurriedly said with a smile.

With such a foundation, the next negotiations between the two parties will be much simpler, and many terms with different opinions have been reached one by one, and basically Xia Wenzhi is making concessions to meet Tao Li's requirements. Of course, Tao Li's request has nothing to do with the distribution of benefits, which is why it is so easy to negotiate.

"Well, I've written down all the terms, and I'll redraft the contract a little later, and then I can officially sign it. After everything was negotiated, Xia Wenzhi stood up, stretched out his hand and said with a smile.
