Chapter 66: The Black-bellied Man
Long Wanping was surging at this time, he didn't have as much psychological pressure as Li Zehao, and he was bent on making a comeback, and then competing for the position of deputy editor-in-chief.
He is also an old seniority in Longteng Literature Publishing House, and he will retire in two years, if he can make any achievements before retirement, he will have some bragging capital in the future.
Therefore, Long Wanping's mentality is to be safe and better than everything.
He glanced at Li Zehao, who had a serious face, smiled secretly in his heart, and said, "Teacher Sun, in this way, I will popularize the relevant knowledge of the publishing industry for you." In our country, the royalty rate of writers is generally between 6% and 15%, and the first time a book is published, it is a minimum standard of 6%. As for the number of first printings, it will not exceed 100,000 copies. ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Sun Hao, and saw that he looked like he was listening carefully, and he was very satisfied, "Our publishing house is very optimistic about Mr. Sun's two books, so I will also give you a thorough explanation, I will give you 8% of the royalties, and the first printing will be set at 200,000 copies, what do you think?"
"Not very good. Sun Hao didn't speak, Li Zehao on the side opened his mouth first, "Mr. Sun was right before, the results of these two books have been obvious to all, and if you publish a physical book, the results will definitely not be bad, at least two bestsellers!"
"Mr. Sun, our Chinese publishing house is very sincere, the royalty rate is 10%, and the first printing is 500,000 copies! We want both books!" Li Zehao finished speaking, looking at Sun Hao with burning eyes.
Long Wanping was stunned for a moment, and then an evil fire rushed straight to his head from the bottom of his heart, okay, you Li Zehao, such a ruthless hand, this is simply looking for trouble!
Don't you forget, you're still being roasted on the fire, and you dare to play like this?
A sneer tugged at the corner of his mouth: "It's not just your Chinese publishing house that is optimistic about these two books, with a royalty rate of 12% and a first printing of 1 million copies!"
You continue to quote, there is a kind of you continue!
Long Wanping looked at Li Zehao with a provocative expression.
Sun Hao and Mu Yu didn't speak, but sat quietly opposite, watching Long Wanping and Li Zehao constantly raise their offers to each other, and they were already happy in their hearts.
"Go on, Li Zehao, keep reporting! You coward, aren't you scared?" Sun Hao shouted loudly in his heart, looking at Li Zehao's eyes full of encouragement.
At this moment, Li Zehao is also very entangled in his heart, yes, he is indeed very optimistic about these two books, after they are published and listed, there is a great possibility that they will become bestsellers, but the problem is that his current status in the publishing house is not as good as before, and it can even be said that it is precarious.
If this thing is done, he will be able to ascend to the sky in one step, and the position of deputy editor-in-chief will be ironclad; but if this thing is messed up, not to mention that it will be so miserable to go to hell, anyway, this life will be like this, and he will survive until retirement in the post of editor, and don't even think about it if he goes further.
To fight or not to fight, to give up, or to just give up?
"People die and birds are facing the sky! If you fall off your head, it's just a scar the size of a bowl! What's more, it's not that bad!" Li Zehao gritted his teeth fiercely, stared at Long Wanping with a hideous face, and popped out of his mouth word by word: "The royalty rate is 15%, and the first printing is 1.5 million copies!"
Long Wanping, who thought that he was in control, heard this, and the smile on his face suddenly froze, and after a long time, he reacted, and suddenly looked afraid, MMP, 12% royalty rate, 1 million first printing, he was worried for a while, for fear of being scolded by the president after returning to the company, this Li Zehao actually dared to shout that the publication tax rate was 15%, and the first printing was 1.5 million copies!
"Crazy! This bastard is so crazy!"
Long Wanping's face turned pale, he stood up from his seat, shook his head, and turned to leave.
Seeing that Long Wanping was gone, Li Zehao breathed a sigh of relief, this matter is done!
"Teacher Li, what you said before was serious, right?" When Long Wanping walked away, Mu Yu asked.
Li Zehao also recovered at this time, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The eldest husband is difficult to chase after him, not to mention, I have already brought the contract, fill in the royalty rate and the number of first printing, and then sign it to take effect." ”
"Teacher Li is so confident?" Sun Hao didn't see any excitement on his face at all, he still looked calm, "I've heard that the 15% royalty rate is also available to top writers, and their first printing is estimated to be 1 million copies." ”
"I have faith in these two books. Li Zehao looked at Sun Hao with a serious face and said.
Sun Hao laughed and said, "I'm also very confident. ”
While a few people were talking, Mu Yu had already read the pre-prepared contract carefully, and when he saw that there was no problem, he nodded at Sun Hao.
Sun Hao didn't look at it much, picked up the pen and signed his name a few times, and the contract took effect from now on.
After signing, Sun Hao said to Li Zehao: "The book "Ethereal Journey" will be sent to you together after I finish writing the extras. The electronic version of "Love in the Time of the Scarf" can be given to you tonight. ”
"Okay, I wish us a happy cooperation!" Li Zehao stood up and stretched out his hand to Sun Hao.
Sun Hao also stood up and shook hands with him, and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation!"
Li Zehao had to rush back to the publishing house today to report the matter to the leader, so he left first.
When Li Zehao walked away, Mu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Today's play is really exciting! Boss, I never expected that you are still a black-bellied man!"
"How do you speak? Do you say that about the boss's employees?" Sun Hao reprimanded with a straight face, "I am smart, I know how to judge the situation, if I talk one by one, how many circles will I have to go around! Alas! There are really not many smart people like me in the world! You have to cherish such a boss!"
"Vomit!" Mu Yu made a vomiting look, which made Sun Hao laugh.
Mu Yu has already begun to understand that his boss is a narcissist and a shameless guy, seeing that he is overjoyed, he can only roll his eyes and change the topic instantly, "Boss, since the issue of the publishing house has been negotiated now, let's go and see the house now, anyway, the Mingyuan community is not far from here, just a few steps away." ”
"Good. Then go check it out. Sun Hao readily agreed.
The two of them walked out of the café one after the other, and after they came to the Mingyuan community, before they could go in, a person came over and shouted from afar: "Hey, Sun Hao, why are you here here?"
Sun Hao took a look, hey, I thought it was an acquaintance, it turned out to be Li Xiangfu, the head of the Music Department of Beijing University!
