Chapter 29 Shareholding

Sitting in the café, the afternoon sun shines through the leaves, shining through the window, and the shadowy points of light gently sway on the table with the shaking of the leaves.

Xiao Wu picked up the spoon and stirred the coffee in the cup. In his previous life, he didn't like coffee very much, but he didn't hate it either. He chooses tea between coffee and tea, but he still chooses coffee between coffee and drinks.

After recording a few songs, Xiao Wu rushed to the café that he had made an appointment, and came a little early, Xiao Wu ordered a cup of coffee and waited slowly.

Watching the coffee in the cup spin under the agitation of the spoon, Xiao Wu fell into deep thought. Just now, after recording the song, Xiao Wu wanted to give money, but Qi Chang and Zhang Song refused to accept it, and they resigned for a long time, and it reached the point where they would break off their friendship if they gave it again. Xiao Wu had no choice but to accept this affection.

In fact, he has already seen that Qi Chang's studio business is not very good, and the money he makes is only enough for food and clothing, if he doesn't collect Xiao Wu's money, it will be in vain in one day. If you want to find a way to help them, you can't be too deliberate.

Just thinking about it, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, picked it up and saw that it was Ms. An's, the mobile phone was connected, and I heard Ms. An asking "Mr. Xiaowu, have you arrived?" Looking up, there was a lady in a suit and skirt in front of him who was on the phone, Xiao Wu said, "I'm right behind you", and then stood up and waved at the lady.

After the two sat down, Ms. An looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Mr. Xiaowu, I really didn't expect you to be such a handsome young man. If you show your true face, how many people's eyes will be blinded!"

This is a quiet truth, she has always thought that Xiao Wu does not show his true face because he looks a little cold. But today, it's not just not ugly, but very handsome. Especially the two sword eyebrows, the eyes under the sword eyebrows looked inconspicuous at first glance, but when Xiao Wu opened her eyes and looked at her, she seemed to see a world, deep, far, and casual. This is a man with a story. She thought to herself.

Come to think of it, if you weren't a person with a story, how could you write a masterpiece as philosophical as "The Legend of Wukong"?!

"You've won a prize. I'm just afraid of trouble. Xiao Wu said modestly.

"Let's not let you come and go, I'm older than you, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Sister An." Speaking quietly has the refreshing energy of a northerner, of course, this sentence also wants to shorten the distance between him and Xiao Wu, so as to facilitate the following conversation.

"Okay, then I'll call you Sister An. Sister An, just call me Xiao Wu. ”

The two of you chatted a few words at will. Finally getting down to business.

"Xiao Wu, how about you take a look at this contract?" Quiet took out a contract from her bag and handed it to Xiao Wu.

I lowered my head and looked carefully for a while, and I didn't find several common contract pitfalls. "Fifteen percent of sales, isn't that a bit of a lot?"

"We can talk about this again, we are giving you the sharing method of three star writers. Jing Jing also knows that the person in front of him can't be seen by common sense. Others may be happy with this way of sharing. But for Xiao Wu, this is indeed a bit less. If "The Legend of Wukong" is really published, Xiao Wu's book fans and fans will probably buy 80% of them, not to mention that they will buy one copy! There may even be some people who will buy more than one copy.

"I don't know if Sister An is interested in "Tomb of the Gods"?" Xiao Wu did not take over the topic, but suddenly asked such a sentence.

"Of course I want that!" Quiet didn't react for a moment, and opened her mouth to reply.

"Sister An, I know that your publishing house is facing a crisis right now. Several major publishing houses are encroaching on your market, and the one-star writer Zhang Sheng you picked up also betrayed you after becoming famous. You are now desperate for a comeback. I have a proposal, I hope Sister An doesn't say that I am taking advantage of others. ”

As soon as Xiao Wu heard these words, he knew that people had already learned about their publishing house. Indeed, as Xiao Wu said, Dandelion Publishing is now facing an existential moment. Since the quiet death of their father, Ning Cheng's publishing house of the same size as them has begun to squeeze their living space. From starting to snatch the customers in their hands, to directly poaching the one-star young writer Zhang Sheng who was held up by her father. Let their publishing house fall into an embattled situation.

In this stormy moment, she heard by chance that a demonic genius appeared on the Internet. wrote a song for his novel, posted it on Starry Sky Music, and became a one-star singer in only two days.

Curious, she also listened to it, and went to Tianxia Literature to register an account, and watched "The Legend of Wukong" and "The Tomb of the Gods". For "Tomb of the Gods", she didn't pay much attention to it due to the typical online text mode. But "The Legend of Wukong" made her see the value in it. This is a work that is no less than or even surpasses traditional literature! If it is published, it will cause an unprecedented storm in traditional literature.

So she couldn't wait to contact Xiao Wu, fortunately, the copyright of "The Legend of Wukong" has not been bought, and she can still grasp this straw. But now when she heard Xiao Wu's words, she knew that if she wanted to win the copyright of "The Legend of Wukong", it would be a little difficult to rely on the conditions in the contract.

"Please say!" involved interests, and she couldn't help but be cautious.

"That's right, so far, I have uploaded three novels in Tianxia Literature, one of which "The Legend of Wukong" has been completed, and "Tomb of the Gods" is about to be completed this month. The third book "Zhu Xian" may be a little slow on the Internet, but in fact, I am already halfway through it. In the future, I will wait for four, fifth, tenth, and twentieth books. I don't want to involve too much energy in publishing these books, so I need to find a stable publisher to cooperate with for a long time. Speaking of this, Xiao Wudu took a sip of coffee. Look at the quiet who has already begun to think and continue

"I thought about it later, if I gave all my books to a publishing house, how much would that publisher make from me? But if I had a publishing house, then I wouldn't have to worry about letting others make that money. Speaking of which, I think Sister An, you should understand what I mean, right?"

"You're trying to buy our publishing house?" quietly looked up, as if he understood but didn't seem to fully understand.

"No, not an acquisition. Maybe I will be able to acquire it in the future, but I don't have the funds at the moment. I'm talking about shareholding. This is the way Xiao Wu thought of cooperation when he saw the current situation of Dandelion Press.

"Shares?" Quiet still doesn't understand what kind of shareholding method.

"Yes, I will hand over the three books "The Legend of Wukong", "Tomb of the Gods" and "Zhu Xian" to your publishing house for publication and distribution. I only receive the basic remuneration, and the rest is used as the capital for the shares, which is exchanged for 25% of the shares of your publishing house. Xiao Wu quoted the ideal price in his heart.

"Three books for twenty-five percent of the shares?" muttered a quiet repetition, pondering in her heart that this deal would only make her a profit or a loss. On the contrary, she felt that Xiao Wu was a bit of a loss, after all, everyone could see the situation that Dandelion Publishing House was facing now, Xiao Wu did not ask for more shares with a lion's mouth, but only 25% of the shares, which was already very benevolent. After thinking about it, I made a decision in my heart,

"Little Fifth Brother, I agree with your plan, and I will add one more sentence to you, no matter how far Dandelion Publishing House develops in the future, your twenty-five percent of the shares will not be diluted!" As soon as this sentence came out, Xiao Wu gave Jing a thumbs up in his heart. can make this decision so decisively, this quiet is indeed a bold woman!

Neither of them was a procrastinator, Jing Jing called a lawyer, and immediately recorded the content of the negotiation just now on the contract, and after signing, Jing Jing held Xiao Wu's hand and said:

"Brother Xiao Wu, we are already a family from now on, you have to help your family more in the future!"

"This Sister An, don't worry, as long as you don't let me show up, it's easy to say anything else. By the way, Sister An, don't spread the news about me as a shareholder of the company for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Xiao Wu smiled and mentioned it uneasily.

"Of course I know this, but it's not the time to make it public. I just don't understand, why do you resist showing your face so much! If your face is revealed, I'm afraid that a large number of female fans will put it on it desperately. The matter was settled, and he was quiet and in a good mood and joked with Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu touched his nose a little embarrassed, and said with a shy face:

"Sister An, don't laugh at me, don't I want to have more personal space. That, I'll go back first if there's nothing to do, and I won't be able to catch the bus when it's late. With that, he was ready to stand up.

"Wait a minute, sign for me, my girl is your fan, if you give her this signature, it won't be happy!"

"I'm afraid she'll suspect that you've found a fake trick to fool her. What's your name, how old is it?" Xiao Wubian took the notebook and spread it on the table.

"It's Annie, it's high school. It's really possible what you're saying. After listening to Xiao Wu's words, Jing Jing felt that with that girl's character, there was really a possibility that she was a fraud.

Picking up the pen, Xiao Wu wrote in his notebook:

I wish Annie to study hard! Make progress every day! Be healthy! Be young and beautiful! Then I thought about it when I signed, and wrote Xiaowu! Write the worker ant Xiaowu under Xiaowu. Then I looked at it with great satisfaction, and the hard work I had worked on in the past finally paid off today.

Raised his head, there was a mobile phone in front of him, and then he felt a hand on his shoulder that hugged his right shoulder, and there was a sentence of "smile" in his ear, Xiao Wuran smiled, click!

"Now this dead girl won't suspect me of cheating, right!" Looking at the photos on her phone, she quietly turned back to Xiao Wu and said, "I said Xiao Wu, you don't look like you!"

Xiao Wu was speechless, handed the notebook to Quiet, got up and fled.
