Chapter 182: There must be a PY transaction
The end of "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" touched the hearts of countless people, among them, there was one person who was the most itchy.
This person is Li Zehao of the Chinese Publishing House.
Although before the end of the book, when Li Zehao invited Sun Hao and Mu Yu at a banquet, he proposed to continue to let the Chinese publishing house continue to operate the publication of the new book, and Sun Hao readily agreed. But he's not a hairy boy, and of course he doesn't take what is said at the wine table seriously.
If he was so stupid and waiting for Sun Hao or Mu Yu to come to him to sign a contract, then his head would really be kicked by a donkey.
Of course, Li Zehao's head has not been kicked by a donkey, so he called Mu Yu several times and wanted to ask her out to talk about the copyright transfer of "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant", but unfortunately, he has been busy with the preliminary preparations of the studio during this time, and he even has very little time to rest, so he has no time to think about these things, so he politely refuses him every time.
After the invitation to Mu Yu was rejected several times, Li Zehao panicked.
He was flustered, and for good reason.
Since the successful operation of the publication of the two books "Love in the Neck Period" and "Ethereal Journey", the Chinese Publishing House has curbed its inevitable decline in just over a month, and has become a first-class book publisher in China.
The biggest benefit, of course, is the editor Li Zehao who signed these two books. He not only succeeded in becoming vice president, but also got part of the shares of the publishing house, and from then on, as long as the publishing house did not fail, he would guarantee the income from drought and flood, which was equivalent to an insurance for his future.
Who brought all this in?
Of course it's Sun Hao!
Therefore, Li Zehao is very grateful to Sun Hao. But while grateful, what he wanted to do more was to hug Sun Hao's thighs tightly and make his position in the publishing house more stable.
You must know that when he sat in the position of vice president, many people in the publishing house were red-eyed, thinking that he had taken shit luck, and the blind cat ran into a dead mouse, so that he "picked up" two bestsellers, and he was still passing it on in private, saying that Sun Hao is such a young man, that is, a gust of wind is hot, and I don't know what will happen to the books written in the future!
Chinese people can't do other things, but their eyes are easy to get pink eye.
Therefore, Li Zehao urgently needs to slap those people in the face with facts, so the best way is to get the publishing rights of "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant".
Another reason made Li Zehao even more flustered.
The reason why he was able to successfully win the publishing rights of "Love in the Neck" and "Ethereal Journey" was of course because he broke the kettle and made a desperate bet to beat his opponents with super high royalties and an astonishing number of first prints, but the more important reason was that people from several other publishing houses did not realize the potential and influence of these two books in the minds of readers.
As it turned out, those people were wrong, and they couldn't be more wrong. The high royalties are worth the money, and the staggering number of first prints is not too staggering, after all, they are not enough to sell!
Therefore, when other publishing houses reacted, the first thing they had to do was to make amends - to do their best to sign the publishing rights of Sun Hao's new book "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant".
When those veteran publishing predators are fighting with all their might, Li Zehao's upstart in the publishing industry, the Chinese Publishing House, may not even have the strength to parry.
……
After the end of the new book, Sun Hao can be said to be really light, seeing that there is only more than half a month left before the New Year, he told Mu Yu that he will have a holiday if he has nothing to do, and after the fifteenth day of the first month, he will officially start work.
Mu Yu took a spicy crab leg, carefully picked out the crab meat, glanced at Sun Hao, and said expressionlessly: "Holiday? The studio must be renovated before the year, I have to keep an eye on it, what if they cut corners? I have found the financial staff, but the candidates for the administrative front desk have not yet been determined, and I have to interview a few more people." And ......"
When Sun Hao heard that there were so many other things, his head was big, and he hurriedly said: "Don't say it, you can just decide this kind of thing." ”
"I can weigh other small things, and it's not a big deal anyway, but you have to make up your mind about this matter. ”
Mu Yu put down the crab legs in his hand, took a tissue from the table and wiped his hands, and said, "More than a dozen publishing houses have called me about the publication of your new book, and the conditions given are better than the other, what do you say?"
"If the conditions are not much different, give it to the Chinese Publishing House. Sun Hao thought for a while, looked indifferent, and said, "It's better to be raw than cooked!"
"Well, you're the boss, you have the final say. ”
Mu Yu said helplessly. To be honest, she doesn't really want to give the Chinese Publishing House, whether it is in terms of influence or quotation, Li Zehao has no advantage. But the boss is a nostalgic person, so he has to let him go.
However, Mu Yu still plans to grind with Li Zehao again and create the maximum profit for the boss, which is what an assistant should do.
If Li Zehao knew what Mu Yu was thinking, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood. It's a pity that he doesn't know anything.
Therefore, when he received Mu Yu's call, he was so excited that his hands trembled.
"Miss Mu, hello, hello! I want to ask, what are you going to do with the copyright of Mr. Sun's new book?"
Mu Yu smiled politely and said, "The boss misses the old one very much, and said that if the conditions are equal, give priority to doing it for you." But as you know, our boss is no longer what he was at the beginning, and the previous two books have also proved the value of his works, and so far, I have received offers from no less than 20 publishers......"
After listening to Mu Yu's words, Li Zehao couldn't help sweating on his forehead while being moved, and he said again and again: "I know this, I know." Miss Mu, what time is convenient for you, let's find a place to sit down and have a good chat?"
"Well, I just happened to be a little free tonight, you can decide the location. Mu Yu said with a smile.
That night, Li Zehao and Mu Yu chatted in a café for less than an hour, and then, both of them left with smiles on their faces.
No one knows what the two of them talked about, but the next day, all the publishing houses knew that the publishing rights of "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" were obtained by Li Zehao again.
Long Wanping, the editor of Longteng Culture Publishing House, once participated in the copyright battle for Sun Hao's two books, and now when he heard that Li Zehao had won again, he couldn't help but scold secretly: "Damn, they must have some PY deal!"
