Chapter 443 is all about that

Liu Changhe saw that Sun Yuanjie just didn't understand his words, so he had to explain again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Sun Yuanjie listened to Liu Changhe's words, then looked at him again and said: "I don't care how effective your publishing house is, but the sales of my "Robot Adventure" haven't dropped a lot! Although it is now slightly worse than Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings", I can't reduce my royalties from 15% to 5% all at once because of this! You can reduce the royalty, but there should be a degree of this! How can it be reduced by 10 percentage points all at once, don't you have the intention to get along with me!"

For Sun Yuanjie, he doesn't know much about the operation of the publishing house, although he has cooperated with the 'Chuncao Publishing House' for many years, he still doesn't know much about the various operations of the publishing house.

Liu Changhe listened to Sun Yuanjie's words, and said with a wry smile: "Our publishing house has a lot of money, and now the books we publish can only make a profit from your "Robot Adventures". And this profit is really stretched for the operation of our entire publishing house!"

After listening to Liu Changhe's words, Sun Yuanjie thought for a while and said: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll admit it! It seems that your publishing house is indeed in trouble." If you want to lower the royalties, you can lower them! I can reduce as much as you want, I don't care, anyway, I still have some money in my hand, even if I reduce my royalties to zero, I still have something to eat. ”

Sun Yuanjie's words were clearly angry. Of course, Liu Changhe also heard it, but he felt that no matter what Sun Yuanjie said now, his royalties would definitely be reduced, otherwise, his publishing house would not be able to operate normally at all.

"Mr. Sun, I'm really sorry, I have no choice but to do it! When our publishing house is more profitable, I will definitely restore your royalties to the original level." Now, we're all going to have to tighten our belts a little bit, and if your new book "The Adventures of the Robot Cat" is published, if the sales are good, you will be able to restore your royalties to the original level. Liu Changhe looked at Sun Yuanjie again and said.

After listening to Liu Changhe's words, Sun Yuanjie felt that there was some truth. After all, his new work "The Adventures of the Robot Cat" has been written far away, and now "Chuncao Press" is planning to publish this book!

If Sun Yuanjie's new work can surpass "Sanmao Wanderings" in sales after it is published, then "Chuncao Publishing House" will naturally be able to return to its original level.

This book was originally written by Sun Yuanjie to Xu Hong, and his purpose was to use this new work to defeat Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings"!

Sun Yuanjie listened to Liu Changhe's words, and he also felt that there was some truth, so he looked at Liu Changhe with a smile and said, "Okay then! Let's wait for my new release to see how the sales are." ”

"Then how do you feel about this new book you wrote!" Liu Changhe saw that Sun Yuanjie was no longer angry, so he asked again.

"How can I say it! This book, I really wrote for Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings". In the book, there are some elements of "Sanmao's Wanderings", as well as elements from "The Adventures of Robots" that I wrote before. Anyway, I've combined the best of two of the best-selling books on the market right now. Sun Yuanjie looked at Liu Changhe again and said.

"Well, I also watched your new work, and I feel good, better than your "Robot Adventures"!" Liu Changhe said.

"Hopefully my new work will get off to a good start, and if it sells well, I'll be able to raise my eyebrows. Think about it, since Xu Hong, the kid, published "Sanmao Wanderings", my popularity has completely suppressed him. Sun Yuanjie looked at Liu Changhe again and said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Sun, I believe that as long as your new work is published, there will be a new beginning, and our 'Chuncao Publishing House' will definitely be able to defeat their 'New Star Publishing House'." Liu Changhe said again.

"Okay, that's it, Boss Liu, I'll go back first, and when my new work is published, you have to inform me, I want to see what kind of record my new work will set on the day of sale, I believe that my new work will definitely surpass my old book "Robot Adventure" on the day of sale. Sun Yuanjie said again.

"That's for sure, and I'm sure your new work will sell well. Liu Changhe said again.

The two chatted for a while and then broke up again. Sun Yuanjie returned to his home. Liu Changhe went to the editorial department to urge everyone to hurry up and finish proofreading Sun Yuanjie's new work, and then arrange for publication.

Besides, Sun Yuanjie returned home, thinking about the conversation with Liu Changhe just now, he didn't know what to do for a while, originally, he didn't want to continue to cooperate with Liu Changhe! He thought, since this guy is so bad to himself, why should he follow him!

But think about it, if your new work has good results, then of course you can continue to cooperate with Liu Changhe.

In this way, a few days later, one morning, Sun Yuanjie received a call from Liu Changhe, asking him to go to the 'Chuncao Publishing House'.

When Sun Yuanjie heard this, he passed happily, he thought that it must be his new version, the sales are good, and Liu Changhe wants to treat himself!

But when Sun Yuanjie drove happily, he came to the 'Spring Grass Publishing House'. He ran upstairs to Liu Changhe's office, and when he saw Liu Changhe, he felt that the situation was a little bad! Because Liu Changhe did not smile at all, but looked unhappy.

Sun Yuanjie just looked at Liu Changhe's expression, and felt that his new book was not selling well! But no matter what, he had to ask to find out! Perhaps, Liu Changhe was not looking for him because of the publication of his new book!

Thinking of this, Sun Yuanjie asked Liu Changhe with apprehension: "Boss Liu, is my new release published?

Liu Changhe listened to Sun Yuanjie's words, just looked up at him, sighed and said: "It's over, it's completely over now, your new work is not selling well!"

As soon as he heard Liu Changhe say this, Sun Yuanjie felt a chuckle in his heart, but he still asked in a tentative tone: "Why, the sales are not very good, that is, hundreds of copies were sold in one day?"

"Hundreds! If it's really a few hundred, it's not bad, then there are hundreds, only a few dozen!" Liu Changhe was a little angry in his heart! I thought, what's wrong with this Sun Yuanjie now, how can the sales of the new work be so poor!

This book, 'Chuncao Publishing House' also advertised, and also held a new book launch of Sun Yuanjie in a relatively large 'Xinhua Bookstore' in Beijing!

What is strange is that on the day of the press conference, some viewers bought some books on the spot, and then, within this day, no one went to the 'Xinhua Bookstore' to buy Sun Yuanjie's new book, which is really a very abnormal thing!

When Sun Yuanjie heard Liu Changhe's words, his eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't believe Liu Changhe's words, his new work can also be said to be painstaking, it was he who studied his original work "The Adventures of Robots" and Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings" to write an excellent work of children's literature! Originally, Sun Yuanjie thought that he was going to use this new work to fight a turnaround! So that he could once again overshadow Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings"!

The result was indeed beyond the expectations of Sun Yuanjie and Liu Changhe, and they all put their bets on this new book, thinking that after the release of this new book, it would be possible for the 'Chuncao Publishing House' to have a big change!

However, this result is indeed beyond everyone's expectations, this new work containing the enthusiasm of Liu Changhe and Sun Yuanjie, the final sales are dozens of copies, which can be said to be unimaginably low.

Even some authors who are not famous, after the books they write are published, they do not go through any publicity, that is, they may have such sales!

However, this "Adventures of the Robot Cat" is not only a new work by a famous writer like Sun Yuanjie, but at the same time, the "Chuncao Publishing House" has also hyped up the publication of this book, hoping that this book can beat Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings" in terms of sales! But what about the result! On the day of sales, it fell to the valley! Only a few dozen copies were sold, and this is also called "The Adventures of the Robot Cat." Is this still Sun Yuanjie's work!

You must know that on the day of the sale of Sun Yuanjie's old book "The Adventures of Robots", it set a record of 1,116 copies sold per day. And there, Sun Yuanjie is not famous, just a complete newcomer! But just like that, he set a record for the new book sales of the day. At that time, there were several other writers' works published and distributed together, but none of them could be compared with Sun Yuanjie! However, after many years, Sun Yuanjie's new work actually set a record of selling dozens of copies on the day of its release. If it weren't for this press conference, maybe Sun Yuanjie's new work wouldn't be able to sell a copy!

What kind of result this is is completely beyond everyone's expectations, not only Liu Changhe and Sun Yuanjie, but even some editors of 'Chuncao Publishing' just can't believe it!

"What, dozens of books!" As soon as Sun Yuanjie heard Liu Changhe's words, he couldn't believe his ears, and felt that he had heard it wrong, how could this be! There were only a few dozen books, and this was still a new book written by himself!

"That's right, it's dozens, and the exact number is seventy-nine. Liu Changhe said as he handed a sales record sheet to Sun Yuanjie. Then he said: "Look at it! These are the sales of your new book, and there are only three 'Xinhua bookstores' where someone bought your book yesterday." And the remaining hundreds of 'Xinhua Bookstores' just don't buy your new work!"

Hearing Liu Changhe's words, Sun Yuanjie couldn't accept such a reality at all. He looked at a record sheet in his hand, glared at Liu Changhe and asked, "You are not wrong with this record sheet, is it wrong? ”

When Liu Changhe heard Sun Yuanjie's words, he smiled bitterly and said, "Hehe! You can't believe it now, and I couldn't believe it yesterday! But this is the truth, and you can't believe it." ”

"Boss Liu, how can you say this is possible! My new book is a 'new book launch'! Not to mention that this press conference is done, even if it is not done, it is impossible for me to sell so low. Sun Yuanjie couldn't accept such a reality.

"Teacher Sun, this is the reality, you better accept it!" Liu Changhe said a little helplessly.

"No, I can't accept it, how is this possible, I'm a well-known author of children's literature, how can no one read my new book! Dozens of copies sold, how is this possible, completely unreasonable? I feel that you must be mistaken, this is impossible. Sun Yuanjie glared at Liu Changhe again and said.

"Mr. Sun, do you still feel that you are a well-known writer! Although you were relatively famous before, your popularity is not what it used to be, and now it is the world of Xu Hong, and your time has passed. Liu Changhe knows that the current Sun Yuanjie is no longer the very popular Sun Yuanjie before, and his new work is the best proof.

Hearing Liu Changhe's words, Sun Yuanjie was very angry, he thought that he had made a great contribution to the 'Chuncao Publishing House', if it weren't for the fact that his "Robot Adventure" at that time was sold to the 'Chuncao Publishing House'. How could Liu Changhe have today, now his popularity is not as good as before, he attacks himself like this, and lowers his royalties, is there a certain human touch.

"Liu Changhe, are you going too far, when my work was popular, you blindly scolded me. Give me a higher royalty, and now my work is not selling as well as before, and you belittle me like this, and lower my royalty, don't you think you're doing it a little too much!"

When Sun Yuanjie heard Liu Changhe's derogatory words now, he was angry in his heart, so he quarreled with Liu Changhe-for-tat.

To put it bluntly, writers are also in business, and if the sales of your works are good, your income will naturally be high, and if the sales of your works are not good, your income will naturally decrease.

Liu Changhe listened to Sun Yuanjie's words, and he was also angry, so he tore his face and quarreled with Sun Yuanjie.

When Sun Yuanjie heard this, he was also angry, originally Liu Changhe lowered his royalties before, which had already made him very angry, but he just remembered that he had met Liu Changhe, and he had worked together for more than ten years, and he always treated Liu Changhe as a friend.

But now Liu Changhe's approach really annoyed Sun Yuanjie, and he doesn't want to cooperate with Liu Changhe anymore, I feel that it is really not interesting to cooperate with this person!

"Okay, surnamed Liu, since you say so, then I don't have to be polite to you, the relationship between the two of us ends here! In this way, you can return the copyright of my new work to me! I really don't want to be in your publishing house, this kind of achievement, it really makes me unacceptable!"

Sun Yuanjie is now completely disappointed in Liu Changhe, and he doesn't want to cooperate with this guy anymore, he wants to change jobs!

Now Sun Yuanjie really regrets it, he regrets that he shouldn't have listened to Xu Hong at that time, if he had listened to Xu Hong earlier, and then jumped to 'New Star Publishing House', maybe the sales of his new work would not be so bad!

But now it was too late, and he sold the rights to his new work to 'Chuncao Press'. Although the sales are very poor, Sun Yuanjie is unwilling to cooperate with the 'Chuncao Publishing House' anymore, and he is already very disappointed in this Liu Changhe.

Originally, Sun Yuanjie thought that the sales of his new work were so poor, Liu Changhe might be very willing to return the copyright of this "Robot Cat Adventure" to Sun Yuanjie! But what made him a little puzzled was that Liu Changhe was unwilling to return the copyright of this book to Sun Yuanjie, which made him really unable to understand!

"Mr. Sun, I'm sorry, we have already signed a contract, and the copyright of your new work has been sold to our 'Chuncao Publishing House'. If we don't want to, you can't take it back. ”

For Liu Changhe, although the sales of Sun Yuanjie's new work are not very good, he still can't return the copyright to Sun Yuanjie, after all, the sales of this book in their 'Chuncao Publishing House' are not very good, it does not necessarily mean that it does not sell well in other publishing houses! Maybe the sales of other publishing houses will be good!

Although Sun Yuanjie's popularity is not very good now, but this emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and this matter is still difficult to say! Although Sun Yuanjie's popularity has declined, his fame is still there. Perhaps, if other publishers hype up his new work, it will sell very well again!

Even Liu Changhe thinks so, for Sun Yuanjie's new work, he also wants to raise it first, maybe, if it is hyped up again, there will be good sales! After all, Sun Yuanjie's fame is still very big. His readership is also quite large.

As soon as he heard Liu Changhe say this, Sun Yuanjie angrily pointed at Liu Changhe's nose and scolded: "Why are you like this, you are still unreasonable, are you just a scoundrel for me!"

Hearing Sun Yuanjie scold like this, Liu Changhe was also a little angry, he glared at Sun Yuanjie and shouted: "The surname Sun, don't you know how to lift, look up, this is 'Chuncao Publishing House'." It's my Liu Changhe's territory, if you don't want to cooperate with me, just get out of here, if you chirp, I'll ask the security guard to still let you out. ”

Sun Yuanjie's words are no longer regarded as a friend at all, and as soon as these words come out, the relationship between the two can be regarded as completely broken.

Although Sun Yuanjie was very angry, he also knew that this was Liu Changhe's territory, not a place for him Sun Yuanjie to go wild. If Liu Changhe really gets angry, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

Thinking of this, Sun Yuanjie looked at Liu Changhe again and sneered and said, "Hehe! Okay, interesting, this is your territory, I don't dare to do anything to you." But if you go out of your door, then it's not good. ”

Sun Yuanjie is actually just scaring Liu Changhe, in terms of size, Sun Yuanjie is not as good as Liu Changhe, if he fights alone, Sun Yuanjie can't beat Liu Changhe.

"Yo, threaten me! Okay, I'll tell you solemnly now, even if you don't cooperate with our 'Chuncao Publishing House', you are not allowed to cooperate with other publishing houses. ”

Liu Changhe saw that Sun Yuanjie dared to say such a thing, and he was also very angry, so he also said a cruel word.

When Sun Yuanjie heard Liu Changhe's words, he glared at him and said, "What do you mean, don't you want me to cooperate with other publishing houses in my life? Don't you want me to be a writer!"

As soon as he heard Sun Yuanjie say this, Liu Changhe glared at him again and sneered: "Hehe! How could it be! You also know that there is a rule in our industry, when a writer has not signed a contract with a publishing house and has not expired, he cannot publish a book in another publishing house. It is said that within three years, you are not allowed to publish books in other publishing houses, I think that in cooperation with you, you can be regarded as having made some contributions to our 'Chuncao Publishing House', I only let you not cooperate with other publishing houses within two years. ”

As soon as he heard Liu Changhe say this, Sun Yuanjie was angry again. He glared at Liu Changhe and scolded: "The surname Liu, why are you like this, the copyright of my new work is given to you, you don't know how to thank me, but you still want to blackmail me like this, are you going too far." ”

Liu Changhe listened to Sun Yuanjie's words, then looked at him again and said: "The surname is Sun, don't say that, your new work has sold so poorly, and after I published it, I didn't make money and lost a lot of money! How do you want me to thank you!"

"Yes, then why don't you give it back to me? Since you've lost all the money, why don't you give it back to me, and you can just find a big writer to sign a new book." As soon as Sun Yuanjie heard Liu Changhe say this, he asked again.

"The surname is Sun, I have already said this, no matter how your new work sells, this is the copyright of our publishing house, we will give it to you if we want to, and we will not give it to you if we don't want to. You don't need to ask so much, I have my own plans, in short, this matter has nothing to do with you. ”

Liu Changhe heard that Sun Yuanjie was responsible for the copyright of "The Adventures of the Robot Cat" again, so he explained to Sun Yuanjie a little impatiently.

"Okay, whatever you want, if that's the case, then let's end our friendship with each other! From today on, we will no longer be friends, but enemies. Sun Yuanjie looked at Liu Changhe again and said in a vicious tone.
