Although the 7 percent royalty is lower than the 10 percent royalty offered by the medium-sized publishing house.

However, this is a condition offered by a large publishing house, and it is already very good to set such a condition with the resources that a large publishing house has at its disposal.

Li Ming believes that if that large publishing house paid enough attention to "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", then if it operated with the resources in their hands, the 7 percent royalty would definitely be higher than the 10 percent royalty income of a medium-sized publishing house.

Of course, publishers also make more money.

However, if people don't make money, why should they take the initiative to find you and offer you such conditions.

Moreover, this condition is only the condition of the first novel, if the first part achieves good results, it is not impossible to put forward conditions in the future, and put forward higher and better shares and conditions for Li Ming's novel.

You must know that "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is not just one, but a whole seven.

What Li Ming has written on Tianya now is only the first part.

These two publishers are now preparing to publish only this first novel.

After comprehensive consideration, Li Ming finally chose that large publishing house.

After Li Ming contacted the people of the large publishing house, he made an appointment that after knowing that Li Ming was in Gaoyang City, the publishing house would send someone to Gaoyang City to discuss the novel with Li Ming, and signed the contract.

Although it is said that the workers of the publishing house who contacted Li Ming on Tianya issued a 7% royalty, some details still have to be taken care of, and it is not just a matter of saying 7% royalties.

Judging from these, it can be seen that the large publishing house attaches great importance to Li Ming's novel.

Although the headquarters of that publishing house is not very far from Gaoyang City, although it is not in the same province, it is also two provinces close to each other, and it only takes more than three hours to get to Gaoyang City by train.

After agreeing, Li Ming immediately contacted the medium-sized publishing house again.

Although he had already chosen the large publishing house, this medium-sized publishing house was so sincere that he felt that he still needed to talk about it.

According to the contact information sent by the man, Li Ming made a phone call.

Soon, a very crisp voice came: "Hey, hello, who is it?"

Li Ming immediately said, "May I ask if you are Ms. Liu Ruolan Liu?"

"Yes, I'm Liu Ruolan, may I ask who you are?"

"Hello, Ms. Liu, I am the 'lonely city under the moon' above the end of the world, I saw your letter, and I followed the phone number above to ......"

Li Ming didn't say the next words, but paused.

Hearing Li Ming say this, she immediately reacted, and there was some surprise in her voice: "You are the author of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" 'Lonely City Under the Moon'?"

Li Ming nodded stubbornly: "If there is only one 'Lonely City Under the Moon', then it should be me!"

However, as soon as Liu Ruolan on the other side heard Li Ming's admission, she immediately said: "Hello! That's right, I like the book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" you wrote, which is different from the history books I have seen before, and our publishing house is also interested in publishing this novel, we ...... I don't know what you think?"

Liu Ruolan first expressed her love for Li Ming's novels, and then also expressed her publisher's willingness to publish "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and even told Li Ming the conditions they could offer.

The conditions offered are very generous for a newcomer, but Li Ming is very embarrassed to hear it.

Because he was ready to reject people.

It wasn't until Liu Ruolan finished speaking at the end that Li Ming said with some embarrassment: "Ms. Liu, that's the case, I'm ready to license the novel to another publishing house, so I can only say I'm sorry!"

As soon as she heard Li Ming say this, that Liu Ruolan was a little anxious: "Is it that the conditions given by our publishing house are not enough? This is already the limit we can give, I believe that no newcomer can let us prescribe such conditions, our publishing house is really ...... your novels."

Li Ming smiled bitterly, at this time he also heard it, the age of that Liu Ruolan should not be very old, maybe she is a college student who has just left the campus!

Otherwise, I wouldn't have said everything in a hurry.

However, even so, Li Ming could only refuse.

However, Liu Ruolan on the other side seemed to think that Li Ming was preparing to raise the price to say this, but he still did not give up, but Li Ming had no choice but to tell the publishing house he was going to authorize.

When Liu Ruolan heard this, she was immediately discouraged.

As a worker in a publishing house, even if she has only been working for a long time, she still knows about those large publishing houses across the country.

Although the publishing house Li Ming mentioned is only the bottom of the large publishing houses, it is still a behemoth for the publishing house where she works, and it cannot be compared at all.

Although Li Ming did not say the conditions offered by the large publishing house, Liu Ruolan knew that the conditions offered must not be bad, otherwise Li Ming would not have chosen that publishing house.

Even if it's a little worse, I believe that with the name of this large publishing house, there are still many newcomers who are willing to go there rather than come home to this publishing house!

The current Liu Ruolan is like being poured cold water on her heart, and her whole person has become a little castrated.

"So, I wonder if you have anything to do with contacting me?"

Thinking that the person on the other side had already authorized the novel to another publishing house, but still came to contact herself, Liu Ruolan gritted her teeth.

This man is so hateful.

It was Li Ming, hearing the laughter, he was really sure, the woman opposite was definitely a newcomer, a student who had just stepped into society, and it was obvious that she was even inferior to some female college students who were a bit of a city government.

"That's right, because I was impressed by your sincerity, but now that the novel is ready to be licensed to other publishers, I feel the need to tell you about it, and I can't let you ......wait all the time."

Liu Ruolan over there listened to Li Ming's words, and was almost half angry, if you are sincere, you don't choose me, what do you mean by calling, is it fun?

Just when Liu Ruolan almost couldn't help but hang up the phone, Li Ming said another sentence and told her to stop.
