Chapter 442 lowers royalties again

You, Nova Press, are in the limelight for a while, but I'm afraid they won't be in the limelight for long. Although we are 'Chuncao Publishing House'www.biquge.info are now encountering some difficulties, I believe that my works are still very vigorous, after all, my works have been tested by the market for many years, and your works are just a temporary welcome by the market, after a long time, your works are definitely not as good as my works, and the sales of your works will gradually decrease. Our 'Chuncao Publishing House' is unsurpassable, don't look at your 'New Star Publishing House' for the time being, and after a while, you will return to the original level. So, I won't agree to what you said, I'm sorry, you'd better ask someone else!"

Sun Yuanjie listened to Xu Hong's words, not only did he not agree to what Xu Hong said, but also criticized the 'New Star Publishing House' as useless.

Xu Hong listened to Sun Yuanjie's words, and his heart was very angry. He didn't expect that Sun Yuanjie was such a person, and he would hold on to the 'Chuncao Publishing House'. Even if he quarreled with Liu Changhe. He also felt that he would have a future in the 'Spring Grass Press'. If you move to Nova Press, you won't have a future.

I heard Sun Yuanjie slander 'New Star Publishing House' like this. Xu Hong was also polite, he looked at Sun Yuanjie and said, "Teacher Sun, it seems that you are holding on to the pile of weeds of 'Chuncao Publishing House'." In that case, then I'll say it all in vain. However, we don't have to worry about what kind of publishing house our 'New Star Press' will develop into, and we are confident that it will gradually grow and become the largest publishing house in Beijing." ”

When Sun Yuanjie heard Xu Hong's words, he looked at Xu Hong with disdain and said, "Yes! Then let's go and see! Let's see how far your 'Nova Publishing House' can go!"

The two are completely unable to communicate until now. Xu Hong felt that this Sun Yuanjie seemed to be like Liu Changhe, a person with no vision. For such people, it is useless for you to bother with more words.

Thinking of this, Xu Hong suddenly stood up and looked at Sun Yuanjie and said, "Since Mr. Sun looks down on our 'New Star Publishing House'. Then I don't need to say anything, I still have something to do, I'll go first. ”

Xu Hong said, he just wanted to leave, but Sun Yuanjie stopped Xu Hong again and said: "Then have you settled the bill? Don't take the opportunity to leave, let me settle the bill, I don't have much money with me." ”

As soon as he heard this, Xu Hong looked at Sun Yuanjie and shook his head and said, "You don't have to pay, I'll go to the checkout now, you can eat more if you want to." You can also take these leftovers with you. ”

After Xu Hong finished speaking, he walked out of the room directly. Sun Yuanjie looked at Xu Hong's back, and felt a little inexplicable in his heart, and he didn't know why he offended Xu Hong. It is said that Xu Hong did not offend himself, but he inexplicably stood on Liu Changhe's side and offended Xu Hong.

But after thinking about it, he felt that Xu Hong was nothing, and it was not a big deal to offend him. Thinking of this, Sun Yuanjie ate a few more bites of food, and then walked out of the private room.

Besides, after Xu Hong walked out of the private room, he drove back to the 'Star Primary School'. These things that happened today made him a little unpleasant. Originally, he still wanted to find a breakthrough from Sun Yuanjie! Now it seems that this breakthrough cannot be found from Sun Yuanjie.

But what should we do next, how can we find evidence that Liu Changhe hired the underworld and society to smash the 'New Star Publishing House'!

-----------------------------------

Besides, after Sun Yuanjie offended Xu Hong, he felt that it was no big deal if he did this. He felt that Xu Hong was just a small person, although he was also a little famous, but he couldn't be compared with him at all.

The day after Sun Yuanjie offended Xu Hong, early in the morning, he received a call from Liu Changhe. I asked him to go to the 'Chuncao Publishing House', saying that he had important matters to discuss with him.

Sun Yuanjie also wondered if Liu Changhe felt that he had quarreled with himself before and lowered his royalties, he must have regretted it and wanted to restore his royalties to the original level!

Thinking of this, Sun Yuanjie happily drove to the 'Chuncao Publishing House'.

to the 'Spring Grass Press'. Sun Yuanjie came directly to Liu Changhe's office.

As soon as he saw Liu Changhe, Sun Yuanjie was still smiling, thinking that Liu Changhe would restore the royalties to the original level for him again!

However, what Liu Changhe said next almost blew up Sun Yuanjie's lungs, and he was almost about to swing his fist at Liu Changhe! However, he felt that even if he did it himself, he was afraid that he would not be Liu Changhe's opponent, after all, Sun Yuanjie's physique was not as good as Liu Changhe! Although he was seven or eight years younger than Liu Changhe, in terms of physique, Liu Changhe was still stronger.

Liu Changhe looked at Sun Yuanjie and said, "Teacher Sun, I'm sorry, not only can your royalties not return to the original level, but you also have to continue to lower them!"

As soon as he heard this, Sun Yuanjie was angry, and he glared at Liu Changhe: "Boss Liu, what do you mean by this, I just adjusted my royalties from 15% to 10%, and I put up with it." But you can't get an inch! It's only been a few days, and you've lowered my royalties from 10 percent, are you going to deduct my royalties? How much do you want to adjust my royalties?"

When Sun Yuanjie asked like this, he also thought that even if Liu Changhe said this, even if he continued to lower Sun Yuanjie's royalties, it might just be another one or two percentage points. That is, it will be down to 9%, or 8%.

But the standard that Liu Changhe said next made Sun Yuanjie angry. Because that's what Liu Changhe said.

"Mr. Sun, I plan to adjust your royalties from 10% to 5%. I know you're going to be angry, but there's nothing I can do. This time, it is not only your royalties that will be adjusted, but also all the employees of our 'Chuncao Publishing House', all of whom will be reduced by 5%!"

Listening to Liu Changhe's words, Sun Yuanjie was not discouraged at all, he glared at Liu Changhe and argued: "What do you mean by this, 5% of employees can be compared to my 5%! They are just that little salary, and mine is royalties! Can this be the same!"

"Mr. Sun, of course it makes sense for you to think like this, but you also have to think about it the other way, how much is your income, how much is the income of ordinary employees, even if you have an annual royalty of 5%, there are still hundreds of thousands! Even if you don't deduct it, it's only 350,000 yuan a year! If you think like this, won't you be psychologically balanced?"

Liu Changhe is also quite good at comparison, and when he compares like this, Sun Yuanjie's 5% is nothing.

But Sun Yuanjie would not have thought so, he could have had an income of millions every year! This time his income may only be three or two hundred thousand, and if it suddenly drops so much, anyone will be very angry.

"Boss Liu, you can't compare like this! I am the contracted author of your publishing house, and I can also be said to be the hero of your publishing house! If I hadn't sold the copyright of "Robot Adventure" to you at that time. How could you 'Chuncao Publishing House' have today's results!

But in the end, what do you mean by calculating me like this, lowering my royalties again and again, just because your publishing house is not doing well at the moment! Don't you think you're a little sorry for me!"

Sun Yuanjie listened to Liu Changhe's words, and as soon as he was angry, he justified a few more words.

Liu Changhe listened to Sun Yuanjie's words, and he was also polite. After all, for Liu Changhe, the current life is getting more and more difficult. Sales of "Robot Adventures" continue to decline. There is a great danger of being eliminated from the market.

And their 'Chuncao Publishing House' was originally maintained by the copyright of this book. If there is a problem with the sales of this book, it will inevitably seriously affect the performance of the entire publishing house!

Although "Chuncao Press" has also been in business for many years, in addition to "Robot Adventures", it has also published a lot of children's literature books. But there is no one that can be as popular as "Robot Adventures".

In the annual sales revenue of "Chuncao Publishing House", basically half of it is contributed by "Robot Adventure".

Now, if the sales of this book become a problem, the performance of the entire 'Chuncao Press' will also decline seriously!

If the sales of this book continue to decline, then the future business performance of their "Chuncao Publishing House" will only get worse and worse!

It can be said that the copyright of the children's literature "Robot Adventure" is the protector of the 'Chuncao Publishing House', and if something goes wrong with this protector, then it will be difficult for them to do anything more than the 'Chuncao Publishing House'.

Because of this, Liu Changhe is no longer as good to Sun Wujie as he was before. People are like this, in the business field, there is no eternal feelings, only eternal interests. When you have no value, or when your value is depreciating, then you will no longer think about the importance of your boss before.

Employees of any company are like this, your salary is actually inseparable from your own value. This is like the fame of some stars, the more famous they are, the higher their salary or appearance fee, and vice versa.

For Sun Yuanjie, the situation he is facing is the same, his value has gradually decreased with the sales of "Robot Adventures"!

But Sun Yuanjie himself just didn't feel this, he still felt that he was Sun Yuanjie a few years ago, a banner on the children's literature market, no one can compare with him!

It is precisely because of this thinking that Sun Yuanjie has always felt that he is still the largest in the children's literature market, even if he knows that the sales of Xu Hong's work "Sanmao Wanderings" have now surpassed his "Robot Adventure". But he just doesn't take anyone seriously. Including Xu Hong, he also felt that he was far above Xu Hong. Xu Hong is just a momentary scene, and in the end, he will definitely lose to himself.

That's a habit of strength. That is, when a person is in a certain superior position for a long time, he will feel that he is superior to others. Even if his circumstances make his life worse than before for some reason. But his habits of life are hard to change.

The ancients had a good sentence to describe such a habit: "It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift." The meaning of this sentence is that even if a person is used to living a poor life, if he suddenly lives a rich life, he can quickly adapt to it. But if a person is used to living a rich life, and then let him live a poor life, he is afraid that he will not get used to it!

For Sun Yuanjie, that's it, he used to be just an ordinary primary school teacher, and later through his own efforts, he became an excellent children's literature writer. lived a prosperous life.

Now his published "Robot Adventure" is not as popular as before. The limelight of this children's literature has overshadowed the limelight of "Sanmao's Wanderings".

But for Sun Yuanjie, he doesn't seem to have any feelings, that is, he feels that he is still a famous children's literature writer. Xu Hong is just a primary school teacher and an amateur children's writer.

The reason why Sun Yuanjie thinks this way is precisely because he does not participate in the operation and management of 'Chuncao Publishing House'. He just took 15% of the royalty income that this book brought to him every year. Although it is only 15%, he Sun Yuanjie can get millions of fortunes!

However, in the last short period of time, Liu Changhe asked Liu Changhe to terminate all this! In just ten days, Liu Changhe reduced Sun Yuanjie's royalties from 15 percent to 5 percent at once.

It can be said that Sun Yuanjie's royalties were the highest among all children's literature writers in Beijing. Other writers of children's literature. At most, it's a 12% royalty. And he is just three percentage points more than others.

In fact, not only in children's literature, Sun Yuanjie's royalties are the highest. Even if Sun Yuanjie's royalties are placed in the entire literary market in Beijing, his royalties are relatively high. In the capital, there are few writers whose royalties can be compared with Sun Yuanjie.

In the past seven or eight years, Sun Yuanjie's position in the capital was very stable, but no one could surpass him. Of course, it refers to the children's literature market, and Sun Yuanjie can be said to be the absolute ruler!

However, all this, after Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings" came out, has undergone dramatic changes. Sales of Sun Yuanjie's "Robot Adventure" are declining. And the sales of Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings" are constantly rising!

He was like a frog at the bottom of a well, looking at the small piece of sky above his head, and felt that the sky was as big as the mouth of the well.

However, the recent changes in Liu Changhe have already made Sun Yuanjie a little restless. At this time, he realized that his "Robot Adventure" might really be Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wandering".

Besides, the reason why Liu Changhe wants to rectify Sun Yuanjie like this is also his helpless move. In the face of the continuous decline in the operating performance of 'Chuncao Publishing House'. Liu Changhe already felt that his 'Chuncao Publishing House' was afraid that it would not be able to hold on.

In order to be able to make another profit before your own business goes out of business. Liu Changhe naturally wanted to open the knife to these employees under him. He began to use the excuse that the publishing house was not doing well, and constantly deducted the wages and benefits of employees.

Especially for Sun Yuanjie, Liu Changhe feels that this person is now a big piece of fat. I have to bite off a large piece of meat from him first!

After all, Sun Yuanjie is not an ordinary employee of a publishing house, he is a contracted writer of the 'Chuncao Publishing House', and he earns millions of dollars a year! If this does not deduct the salary of this 'big man', then how can he Liu Changhe make money!

It is precisely because Liu Changhe no longer wants to run the 'Chuncao Publishing House' well. So, he just started to break the jar and break it! It's just that all this he did was ostensibly for the sake of the future of the publishing house! But in fact, Liu Changhe was not thinking about all the employees of the publishing house, but only for his own wallet.

After all, 'Chuncao Press' is just a private publishing house, and the boss here will not help others, he can only think about himself, his own interests, not the interests of all other employees of the publishing house.

What Liu Changhe wants now is to make a big profit, and then give the publishing house to him. In this way, you can make a lot of money, no matter what the future of the publishing house is, you can't suffer losses. That's what any private business owner thinks.

Sun Yuanjie actually thinks the same as Liu Changhe, anyway, both of them are the kind of selfish people! Now they are thinking about themselves, not for the publishing house!

How Liu Changhe wants to make money, of course, is to make money from his employees and Sun Yuanjie. Only when they are given wages or royalties can they get more out of it.

At this time, Liu Changhe only continued to maintain the situation of 'Chuncao Publishing House' on the surface, but in fact, he was constantly making money from the publishing house's business, and then saving the money.

Liu Changhe's behavior made Sun Yuanjie very angry, so he looked at Liu Changhe loudly and said what he thought, that is, Liu Changhe was sorry for him!

When Liu Changhe heard this, he could only say what he thought, just to let Sun Yuanjie know that he didn't want to do this, just because the efficiency of the publishing house was not good.

Sun Yuanjie listened to Liu Changhe's words, although he was a little unhappy, but what Liu Changhe said was also very reasonable. How can I say that the life of the publishing house is not good now, so every employee should tighten their belts and live!

Of course, Sun Yuanjie is not a fuel-efficient lamp. No matter what kind of difficulties 'Chuncao Press' has now, he just wants to get his own share!

Now that he saw Liu Changhe treating himself like this, of course he was very angry. But no matter what Sun Yuanjie thought, he couldn't clean up Liu Changhe today, but he could only let people clean him up.

Sun Yuanjie listened to Liu Changhe's words, but said unhappily: "You can't do this, we signed a contract, no matter what the benefits of your publishing house are, we should still act according to the contract!"

When Liu Changhe heard Sun Yuanjie's words, he smiled again and said, "Yes! Then you can now take a look at the contract we signed before and see what is written on our contract." ”

After Liu Changhe finished speaking, he took out the contract they had signed before from the drawer. He flipped it open and showed it to Sun Yuanjie.

At this time, Sun Yuanjie saw that there was a clause on the contract that was stipulated like this. That is to say, when the efficiency of the publishing house is not good, Party A can appropriately reduce the wages of employees.

At that time, Sun Yuanjie didn't care, he thought, since the employee's salary is written on this clause, that is, this clause is not really for him. It's just true to the rest of the publishing house staff.

But when Liu Changhe took out this contract again, Sun Yuanjie felt that the employees on this contract did not necessarily have to be employees who only worked in the publishing house, and even he, the contracted author, could be said to be employees of the unit!

Liu Changhe now regards Sun Yuanjie as an employee of their publishing house, so he has to rectify him like this!

When Sun Yuanjie looked at this contract now, he felt a little like he had been deceived! Only then did he know that this Liu Changhe was really an old fox! He had been fooled by him in the first place. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to be so passive now!

Looking at this contract, Sun Yuanjie just had nothing to say. However, up to this point, he also feels that his 'fate' with this Liu Changhe is also the end, this old guy, who has been cooperating with him for so long, has been for more than ten years, he seems to have no feelings for himself, and he often regards him as his good friend! Even when Xu Hong persuaded him to change jobs, he still spoke for him Liu Changhe! But in the end, this old guy is constantly lowering his royalties, which is the rhythm of wanting to drive himself away!

Thinking of this, Sun Yuanjie glared at Liu Changhe again and said angrily: "Boss Liu, are you planning to drive me away! Do you feel that I have no use value now, so you want to fire my squid!"

Liu Changhe listened to Sun Yuanjie's words, and quickly put on a smiling face and said: "How could it be! Teacher Sun, you are the hero of our 'Chuncao Publishing House'! How could I be willing to fire your squid! Even if I drive out all the employees of our publishing house, I am not willing to drive you away!"
