An Qingxue saw that Chen Qing was angry, and hurriedly said: "Editor-in-chief, I told him that he is a newcomer, and I can only give him a 7% royalty share." ≥≥diǎn≥小≥ said, o"

"Then what did he say?" Chen Qing's face softened a little and asked.

An Qingxue said: "He agreed, but ......"

"But what?"

"But if you share 7%, he is only willing to sign the content of a volume to us. The next few volumes will wait for the first volume to be released, and then talk about ......" An Qingxue finished speaking, looking a little apprehensive, and secretly went to see Chen Qing's reaction again.

Chen Qing really didn't have a good face, and said coldly: "Only sign one volume......?"

"It seems that this newcomer really treats himself as a green onion. It is clear that he wants to sign a volume first, and then let us advertise and promote him, and when the first volume is a big seller, he can sit back and enjoy the success and wait for the price to sell. ”

"Is he really a fool when we are a publishing house? Will he make a wedding dress for him? He thinks he is a popular writer! A newcomer dares to be so arrogant, he simply doesn't know what to say!"

Chen Qing sneered disdainfully.

In his opinion, it is crazy and self-righteous for a newcomer to dare to put forward such a condition.

Although Chen Qing also admitted that the manuscript of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is indeed well written, especially the novel subject matter, there may be a certain market, but whether the market can accept the work of the theme of "tomb robbery" is still two words.

Without the verification of the market, no one dares to guarantee anything.

He didn't think that such a risky work was worth such a big price, especially since the other party was just a small newcomer author!

Hearing Chen Qing's words, An Qingxue couldn't help but cautiously ask, "Editor-in-chief, what ...... So can you sign the book or not?"

Chen Qing glanced at her and snorted coldly: "If you sue him, sign the whole book on the 7% royalty share, he loves to sign, don't sign and get out!"

"What the hell. A little newcomer, I don't know where the confidence comes from, he dares to open his mouth so much, and mention the conditions of this and that......"

Chen Qing scolded contemptuously twice.

An Qingxue didn't dare to say anything more, so she could only answer, and then walked out obediently.

Although she felt that with Ning Mo's resolute attitude before, she would never accept 7% of the royalty share to sign the entire book, but since Chen Qingdu had already spoken like this, where did she dare to talk more.

Even if she is actually very optimistic about the book "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" in her heart.

But she is only an editor-in-chief, and she is also an editor-in-chief whose position is not so stable and may be removed at any time.

Walking out of the editor-in-chief's office, An Qingxue suddenly exhaled lightly, and couldn't help but feel a burst of regret in her heart, she knew that this "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was going to be ruined.

It's just that I didn't live up to Xiao Wan's recommendation to me so much as a novel and good-looking book......

An Qingxue couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, and then walked back to her desk, planning to ask Ning Mo if she would like to sign a contract with 7% royalty share while she hadn't gotten off work yet.

Either way, at least try to get it. Even An Qingxue herself felt that there was little hope.

When Ning Mo ended the phone call with his mother Wang Liping, he was casually surfing the Internet, and received a message from An Qingxue within a few minutes.

An Qingxue naturally couldn't directly copy Chen Qing's words, but said it more tactfully.

"Hello, I asked our editor-in-chief, the editor-in-chief means that he wants to sign your book with a 7% royalty share, I wonder if you are willing to make a little concession?"

"In fact, the 7% royalty share is not low, and it is a relatively normal price for newcomers. Unless you're a very well-known author, it's hard to get the 10% royalty you want. ”

After seeing An Qingxue's information, Ning Mo smiled faintly and didn't care, after seeing the offer given by An Qingxue before, he felt that the possibility of being able to negotiate would not be too great.

Then he replied: "Indeed, for the average newcomer, maybe 7% royalty share is already a good percentage. However, I have faith in my book, so I feel that it is worth far more than the 7% royalty share. ”

"Okay, since we can't talk about this aspect, there's no need to waste each other's time and energy, so be it, if we have the opportunity next time, let's consider whether we can cooperate." ”

Ning Mo's attitude was obviously resolute, and there was no room for further talk.

An Qingxue could naturally see from Ning Mo's reply that she had turned a lot of rhetoric in her mind on how to persuade Ning Mo, but in the end, she only replied with a little helplessness, "Okay, then let's cooperate again next time we have a chance." ”

"Hmm!"

After Ning Mo responded, he closed the chat box, and then couldn't help but exhale lightly and stretched.

I thought that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" could negotiate a publishing contract very smoothly, but I didn't expect that things in this world would not be so smooth sailing.

With a 7% royalty share, Ning Mo would rather not publish it than sell the publishing copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" so cheaply.

After going on the net for a while, seeing that the time had reached five or ten minutes, Ning Mo called Song Zhixuan.

Song Zhixuan looked very happy when she received Ning Mo's call, and as soon as she opened her mouth, there was a delicate and sweet taste in her voice, as if she was coquettish, "Brother, why did you remember to call me?"

Hearing Song Zhixuan's familiar coquettish voice, Ning Mo couldn't help but smile slightly, and quipped, "What, brother is not welcome to call you?"

"Oh, brother, you talk nonsense again, it's too late for people to be happy, how can you not welcome it. Hmph, brother hates it to death, he must be deliberately teasing people again, it's really annoying!"

Song Zhixuan was coquettish for a while.

Ning Mo smiled and said, "Okay, okay, brother won't tease you." Let's talk about diǎn business. ”

As soon as she heard Ning Mo say business, Song Zhixuan also became serious, and responded: "Well, brother, what do you say?"

Ning Mo said: "I just transferred some money to my mother, and told my mother that she should find a time with you to see where the house is suitable, and then buy a house." ”

"Anyway, my brother's request is to try to buy a spacious house, and then the surrounding environment should be better, and the property in the community should be better. For the rest, you just do it with your mother, it doesn't matter if the price is more expensive, you know no, after a while, my brother will transfer diǎn money to my mother, how can it be enough to buy a house in Chujiang......"

Hearing Ning Mo's words, Song Zhixuan was suddenly surprised and shouted, "Brother, is it really fake?

Song Zhixuan seemed very happy, and even had diǎn excited.

Ning Mo smiled and affirmed, "Of course it's true. Specifically, ask your mother when you get home. ”

"Whoa!"

Song Zhixuan responded crisply, as if she suddenly remembered something, and immediately said: "But brother, don't we still owe a lot of money in our family." Or, if you don't buy a house, let's talk about it later, let's pay back the money we owe to others first, okay?"

Hearing Song Zhixuan's words, Ning Mo was a little moved by the little sister's sensibility, but also a little embarrassed and emotional.

Then he said: "Little sister, don't worry, of course my brother has taken these into account." In addition to enough money to pay off the debts of the family, I can still have a lot left, even if the remaining money is not enough to buy a house in full, it doesn't matter, after the fifteenth, my brother will have money again, and then I will transfer the money to my mother. ”

"Oh, really, man, you're amazing, a!a!hee-hee......"

Song Zhixuan screamed excitedly, like a crazy girl, and kissed the mobile phone twice.

Hearing Song Zhixuan's excited voice, Ning Mo was also very satisfied, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.
