Chapter 174 Fifty Percent
"Boy, what do you mean by that!"
Lao Yang on the side instantly became excited when he heard this, slapped the table and glared at Liu Yu angrily: "What do you mean by deceiving you of copyright? I ......"
"That's enough! Sit down for me, Lao Yang......" Li Hai on the side saw the excited Lao Yang, and said majestically: "We are here to talk about cooperation, not to quarrel." Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Lao Yang immediately died down when he heard this, and snorted angrily, but his respect and admiration for the old man next to him calmed down, turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, and transferred the anger in his heart.
"Please don't be surprised, although I have hidden some things from you, Lao Yang really has no bad intentions. Li Hai's old face frowned, and he squeezed out a reluctant smile to excuse the old Yang next to him.
"Heyβ"
Li Hai sighed deeply, looked at Liu Yu with a sincere gaze through the glass lenses of the old-fashioned square-framed eyes, and said:
"I know that I am hiding something from Xiaoyou and it makes you angry. But we're really not as bad as you think, and I promise with my old face that I, Li, we won't cheat you about your copyright with empty gloves. β
"Although Lao Yang's promise to you this time will indeed shrink, we really won't cheat any author's copyright. In fact, the poaching of our prodigal has always existed, but this is only something that will be discussed with the author after many cooperations, and every author jumps to our prodigal from other websites, and I dare to guarantee that it is voluntary. β
"And I'm not satisfied with you that some authors who can't get along on big websites will take the initiative to cooperate with us, and we also give them a stable job, if you don't believe it, you can also go to check it. β
Seeing that Liu Yu began to think deeply, Li Hai knew that the young man in front of him was pondering the truth of his words. So he continued:
In fact, this kind of poaching is actually a well-known secret in the industry, and the editors of large websites are turning a blind eye. And even now, it has become a threshold for some websites to test the loyalty of their authors. β
Liu Yu was indeed speculating about the truth of his words as Li Hai thought. And Liu Yu came to the conclusion this time that it is seven points true and three points false.
Indeed, as Lehi said, all of this can be verified, and knowing that he is now very protective of them, it is impossible to change jobs. Therefore, in order to avoid tearing his face and not tearing his face, in the end, there was no copyright for "Covering the Sky", and Li Hai could only prevent the relationship from deteriorating again, and retreated to get the publishing copyright of "Covering the Sky".
Seeing that Liu Yu's eyes were no longer so vigilant, Li Hai struck while the iron was hot and continued: "And I came this time because of Xiaoyou's book "Covering the Sky". Although it is only a few hundred thousand words, it describes a huge world that I have never seen in all my years of editing.
"It's called martial arts, but it's not quite like it; To say that it is a myth is not true. And I have a very strong intuition in my heart, Xiaoyou's book will definitely create a new trend, to the lake of martial arts that is now lifeless, and put a huge "meteorite", as long as it is properly guided, it will not be inferior to the martial arts of the year into literary novels. That's why I ......."
"That's why you came here in person and decided to pull me, the "meteorite", onto your warship?" Liu Yu said after taking Li Hai's words.
"But your so-called pulling people into the gang is too ideal, of course, right, do you really fool me like a child?"
Li Hai's tone froze when he heard this, and Liu Yu's words completely disrupted the maximization of the benefits he had just thought.
"Okay, don't bother talking any further, I know what you're thinking, now it's just a matter of giving me a contract to sign the publishing contract for "Covering the Sky". Liu Yuping looked at Li Hai, his fingers tapping slowly on the table, making a "da-da-da" sound.
On the other side, Li Hai has been in a high position for many years, and he has negotiated with many people in the past few decades, but today he is actually a little uneasy in front of this young man.
"As for today's publishing contract, I agreed. But ......" said, Liu Yu's fingers stopped, making the hearts of the two people on the opposite side hang.
"But I want to abolish the 1.5 percent share in the contract and make it 50% of the profit from publishing. β
"What!" At this time, Lao Yang, who was sitting on the sidelines and paying attention, shouted, "Fifty percent of the profit? Why don't you grab it? What did you write, the emperor's holy decree?
Liu Yu ignored Lao Yang, since he saw through it, Lao Yang, who had lost his demeanor, was no longer his attention. He only has this old man in his eyes who can make up his mind.
"This ......" Li Hai was immediately embarrassed when he heard Liu Yu's request. It's not for nothing that 5% of the profit is shared, but the only people who can get this kind of half-share with the publisher are the best-selling authors who have sold more than one million copies.
And Liu Yu's request is obviously a bit excessive, but the incredible commercial value of "Covering the Sky" on the Internet makes him a little undecided.
However, as a man who had been very bold since childhood, Lehi decided to sign it anyway, if nothing else, because he trusted his vision and intuition.
"Can this condition be lowered a little," said Lehi, although he decided to agree, he still wanted to see if he could win greater benefits for the publishing house, after all, this kind of lion's opening must mean that there will be room for maneuver.
"No less, 5 achievements are 5 percent. β
Liu Yu stretched out five slender white fingers and said in a firm tone.
"This ...... Little friend, you also know that the publishing house is not something that I can say as the editor-in-chief of the publishing department, and-"
"Fifty percent. β
"You!"
"Fifty percent. β
No matter how clever the other party is, Liu Yu is determined to not let go, and he is sure that Li Hai on the other side will definitely agree. Li Hai can speculate on other people's thoughts, how can Liu Yu not be?
The money-loving character of this iron rooster is always more sensitive to money. What's more, it's even more impossible for this kind of publisher to let him go if he loses money out of reason, so it's a little bit to earn a little more for himself while he can.
And even if the other party refuses, Liu Yu is a big deal to publish it with the Tianya Publishing House, which often cooperates with a little novel network.
Although it is a little difficult to get ahead in Tianya Publishing House, it is not that Liu Yu can't do it, but because he is lazy.
In the end, Li Hai reluctantly compromised in front of Liu Yu, although he did not strive for greater interests for the publishing house, but he barely touched a little bottom line, which was not beyond his budget.
