(Revised)

Early the next morning, Chenyang was woken up by a phone call. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Confused, he looked at the caller ID, it was an unfamiliar number, usually, he was too lazy to answer this kind of call, but now is a special period, his resume has just been put on the Internet, it is the application period, this call is likely to be a recruitment company.

Got up from the bed, drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then Chenyang picked up the phone, "Hey, hello." ”

"Hello, is it Mr. Chenyang, the author of "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl"?"

"Yes, you are ......"

"We are G City Education Press, I would like to ask you if you are interested in publishing those two fairy tales?"

Yo.

So fast!

He only climbed to the sixth tier of writers yesterday, and he has been contacted by a publishing house today?

With a joy in his heart, Chenyang said, "Have you taken a fancy to my fairy tale?"

"Well, yes. ”

"Then let's talk about the price. ”

The other girl's sister was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled, "Okay, according to the current buyout price in China, the price we give you for these two fairy tales is 50,000, but considering the influence of your two fairy tales, the sales volume should not be less than 30,000 copies, therefore, on this basis, we are willing to give you another 30,000, if you are willing to sell traditional copyrights, overseas copyrights and film and television publishing rights, we are willing to give you another 70,000, in this case, the total is 100,000." ”

"One hundred thousand?"

Chenyang frowned.

Although he is not very clear about the current market in the publishing market, in his previous life, the influence of "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl" is definitely more than that, and the later film and television adaptations have become one of the most classic fairy tales in Disney's early days.

Lakh?

How can it be!

"Teacher Chenyang," the other girl laughed, "This price is actually not low, although your two fairy tales currently have a certain reputation, but after all, they are works that have been published on the Internet, and they will definitely have a certain impact on sales, and although your works have a certain readership, the readership is not stable, and the number is very small, 100,000 is the highest price we give you." ”

Chenyang lit a cigarette, looked at the scenery outside the window and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I think the price is still too low, 100,000 yuan is very different from the quotation in my heart." ”

"And what's the offer in mind?"

"At least around 500,000. ”

Chenyang is now a sixth-tier writer, although he is a little well-known, but for the writer circle as a whole, he does not belong to the top of the pyramid, and he may be pushed down by later newcomers at any time.

500,000, in the position of Chenyang, is tantamount to a lion's mouth.

But Chenyang didn't feel anything at all, this is Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, in his previous life, Andersen lived and died for so many years, and the charm of these two fairy tales is still undiminished, so it can be seen that the charm of the story does not lie in where it is published, not to mention that in the near future, with the increase in his popularity, the price of these two fairy tales will definitely exceed such an offer.

Calmly quoted the bid, the other party was obviously silent for a longer time than just now, and finally, the girl smiled, "Teacher Chenyang, you...... Is this a joke? We came to you to publish it in good faith. ”

Chenyang smiled, "I also sincerely offer." ”

The other girl sneered, "Hehe, Mr. Chenyang, although these words are not within my purview, I think I should still remind you that publishing is time-limited, and once the time limit passes, the value of publication will be reduced, you are now on the heat, if you don't publish at this time, can you be sure that a publishing house newspaper will come to you in the future? Even if there is, I can clearly tell you that there will be no publishing house to quote a price of 500,000 yuan, for the sake of our sincere cooperation with you, we are willing to add a little, up to 150,000." ”

"500,000, this is the lowest price in my heart. Chenyang Road.

"Then since this is the case, then there is no need for us to continue talking," the other sister was obviously annoyed, was silent for a moment, and gritted her teeth, "Teacher Chenyang, it's not that I'm too talkative, but I still have to advise you, don't be too greedy, like this to you, you can't eat in this industry." ”

Toot toot.

The phone hung up politely.

Chenyang is not a person who loves to get angry, especially for women, if he can bear it, he will endure it, and if he can't bear it, he will withdraw, but now he is really a little angry, what do you mean? I am greedy? I can't eat it? Which eye do you see that your buddy can't eat it? 500,000 yuan is greedy? Why do you want almost all the copyrights, and your buddy is still greedy if you want 500,000?

Buying and selling is not benevolent.

If you can't talk about it, you can't talk about it, it's all part-time work, buddy doesn't blame you, but what kind of attitude do you have? Co-author, buddy deserves to be angry if he doesn't have a big name for the time being, right?

I was angry when the phone rang again.

This time it's still an unfamiliar number.

Pinching out his cigarette, Chenyang picked up the phone, "Hey, hello." ”

"Hello, this is Dudu Press, are you Mr. Chenyang?"

Dudu Publishing House is one of the well-known publishing houses in G City.

Chenyang said, "It's me, what's the matter?"

With the experience of being told by the girl just now, he is a little angry now, and the tone of his speech is not very good, at least compared to just now, he lacks a lot of patience.

The other party didn't notice it, and said very officially, "Mr. Chenyang, I don't know if you are interested in selling all the copyrights of "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl" in your hands?"

"Tell me about your offer. ”

"The quotation on our side is according to the buyout, the price is 80,000 yuan, if you are not satisfied, I can apply to the higher department, considering your current influence, you can increase the buyout price to 85,000. ”

"Sorry, I don't want to sell. ”

"Mr. Chenyang, we can negotiate the price. ”

Chenyang said, "My reserve price is 500,000. ”

"Five...... 500,000?!Are you crazy?" The other party had no grace at all, and yelled directly on the phone, but soon, the other party reacted, "I'm sorry Mr. Chenyang, I lost control just now, but your offer ......"

"I won't sell it without 500,000, and the 85,000 you said is fine, but I'll only sell it in simplified Chinese, but this is also the price of a single article, and in addition, other copyrights are additional. ”

Toot toot.

The other party also pressed the phone.

After a while, another phone call from an unfamiliar number, the same famous publishing house in G City, the quotation of all copyrights was only 53,000, and similarly, after hearing Chenyang's quotation, he politely pressed the phone, obviously feeling that there was no need to talk about it.

One after another, one morning, Chenyang answered no less than 30 such calls, and almost all the calls of the publishing houses in G City, however, no matter which publishing house, the highest price did not exceed 200,000.

Chenyang was annoyed by the harassment, so he threw his phone aside, and just lit a cigarette, the phone rang again.

"Damn, it's really endless, isn't it, really a good temper buddy? Picking up the phone, Chenyang was about to scold, but when he looked at the caller ID, he suddenly lost his temper.
