readx;? Chapter 372: A sour feeling

Familiar with the road, Xu Hong soon came to the 'Spring Bud Publishing House'. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info took the sample book he published and came directly to the door of Liu Changtian's office.

"Bang bang bang!" Xu Hong knocked on the door a few times without hesitation.

"Is it Lao Chen!Come in!" Liu Changtian's unhurried voice came from inside.

"Squeak!" Xu Hong entered the house unhurriedly.

At first glance, it was Xu Hong, not Chen Wen, but Liu Changtian was taken aback. But he was immediately smug again.

"Oh, it's Mr. Xu! What's the matter, can't your book be published! Today is the tenth day, you still remember the bet between the two of us, after today, you can be considered a loser." Are you going to come and tell me that you don't have that much money in your hand, and you think, come and intercede with me, so that I can discuss it with you and see what to do!"

Looking at Xu Hong, Liu Changtian self-righteously counted a few words to Xu Hong first.

Xu Hong originally wanted to take out his sample book directly, but when he heard Liu Changtian's words, he wanted to deliberately 'pretend' it. Wait a while, it will be more refreshing to slap the face with that new book.

So Xu Hong pretended to be helpless and said: "I don't know what President Liu's plan is, if I really can't take out the 500,000 gambling money, how do you want to solve it with me!"

After listening to Xu Hong's words, Liu Changtian smiled again and said: "Haha, I know that your kid is a poor bastard, how can you have 500,000 yuan! ”

"Of course I want to, President Liu, hurry up!" Xu Hong said, walked to the sofa, and sat down unceremoniously.

"In this way, if you can't take out the 500,000 yuan, I think you can use the copyright of your "Sanmao Wanderings" as collateral, what do you think. "Liu Changtian, I have already thought about how to solve the gambling matter with Xu Hong, he feels that Xu Hong is a primary school teacher, where can he get 500,000 yuan!

So, Liu Changtian came up with a 'clever plan' by himself. He thought that he might as well take this opportunity to get the copyright of Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings". Then buy it out at a reasonable price. In this way, he can get the copyright of "Sanmao Wandering" without spending a penny, and at the same time he has to let Xu Hong say thank you to himself, which is really the best of both worlds.

"Oh! yes! Sounds good! I'm a poor man, and I don't have much money, and 500,000 is an astronomical amount to me. Xu Hong looked at Liu Changtian and said unhurriedly.

"That's it, I know you can't afford to pay this money, so I want to use the copyright of your "Sanmao Wanderings" as a mortgage, this is to give you a chance! How do you feel, can you accept it!" Liu Changtian looked at Xu Hong, and showed a wicked smile again.

"Let's talk about it first! How much money can you give me to buy out the copyright of "Sanmao Wanderings"!" Xu Hong looked at Liu Changtian and said like this.

"That's right, the buyout price of a novelty's long-form work is generally around 10,000. However, your work is well written, and the number of words is more than 300,000 words, which is a super long story, so I see that you have lost my 500,000 shares, sympathize with you, and count 100,000 for you. The remaining 400,000 yuan, you will pay it back slowly in the future, and I will not be in a hurry to ask for this bet again. ”

After Liu Changtian finished speaking, he looked at Xu Hong with a look of disdain, and clearly felt that he was now sympathizing with Xu Hong and helping him solve the gambling problem this time!

"Well, you're a good idea! It's just that I feel that the buyout price you said is a bit low! I feel good about myself! This work of mine can be said to be a rare 'masterpiece'. Isn't the price you gave me 100,000 yuan a little low!" Xu Hong looked at Liu Changtian and said something like this first.

When Liu Changtian heard this, he was a little unhappy and said: "Oh, you are still bargaining with me! Okay! You can say it! How much does you want for this work?"

Xu Hong listened to Liu Changtian's words, so he deliberately raised Erlang's legs, showing a look of indifference. Then facing Liu Changtian, he stretched out the index finger of his right hand.

Seeing Xu Hong's appearance, he stretched out a finger, Liu Changtian was startled, and at the same time he was already a little angry, his face had changed, there was a smiling face, and he looked unhappy.

At this time, Liu Changtian thought: "Xu Hong, what do you mean by being a kid, I will give you 100,000 yuan, I already sympathize with you, you are still too little." Now you hold out a finger to me, what does that mean, do you want a million? You kid is shameless, you don't know how to lift. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Changtian stretched his voice and said angrily: "Xu Hong, what do you mean, you finger, do you mean that your work has to buy 1 million!" After saying this, Liu Changtian scolded Xu Hong again in his heart: "I think, what the hell are you, you can really settle accounts! You lost 500,000 yuan to me, and you have no money to pay me back, and then you want to sell me the copyright of your work, and you want to sell it for 1 million, so that you in turn, you also earned me 500,000 yuan, this little abacus is very good." ”

After speaking, Liu Changtian picked up the teacup on the desk and wanted to take a sip of tea.

"I'm sorry, President Liu, my finger is not referring to one million, but to ten million. Xu Hong looked at Liu Changtian expressionlessly, and said something that surprised Liu Changtian.

"Poof-" As soon as Liu Changtian heard Xu Hong say a price of '10 million', the tea in his mouth just now squirted out.

"Smack!" Liu Changtian put the teacup on the desk. He wiped the tea on his chin casually with his hand, and then looked at Xu Hong with fiery eyes and shouted: "Xu Hong! Are you crazy about money? What nonsense are you talking about? 10 million, who do you think you are? A nobody." Don't say it's you, a nobody, even if it's Mr. Sun's work, it hasn't been sold at such a high price for buying out the copyright. ”

Xu Hong looked at Liu Changtian's angry appearance, and his heart was sour. It's just that he is still very calm on the surface.

"President Liu, don't get excited! How much money I want to pay, that's my business, whether you want to buy it or not, that's also your business, you can't stop me from bidding!" Seeing that Liu Changtian was very angry, Xu Hong suppressed the sourness in his heart, and then pretended to be calm, looking at Liu Changtian and saying like this.

"Haha, what a free trade! Well, let me tell you, I won't buy it, let alone 10 million, 1 million, no, 100,000 I won't buy it now. I'll give you 100,000 yuan, that's already taking care of you, you guy who doesn't know how to lift, I don't want to talk to you anymore, hurry up and give me back my 500,000 gambling money! Anyway, you've already lost, no matter what you do, you have to give me the money, we have signed a contract, and this is all legally valid. ”

Seeing that Xu Hong didn't eat his set at all, Liu Changtian had no patience, so he directly showdown with Xu Hong.

"Haha, President Liu, are you a little anxious! Although today is the tenth day, isn't the tenth day still over? It's eleven o'clock in the morning, and there are still twelve or thirteen hours before twelve o'clock in the evening!"

Xu Hong sat on the sofa, looking at Liu Changtian's angry appearance, and the word 'cool' in his heart.

"Okay, then you can go, tomorrow take the 500,000 you lost to me, if you don't take it, I will go to your school to find your principal, and when the time comes, see who is embarrassed." If you repay the debt, I will sue you, and you can do it yourself!"

Liu Changtian sat at the desk, took out a cigarette, lit it and smoked it first, this was angry and wanted to relieve it.

"Haha, President Liu, don't you have to rush me away! You say that I lost now, isn't it too early!" Xu Hong looked at Liu Changtian with a wicked smile.

"Hmph, it's a bit early, don't you have more than ten hours! I'll see if you can publish your work in the past ten hours. Liu Changtian took a puff of his cigarette, and then pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray fiercely.

At this time, Xu Hong stood up from the sofa suddenly, and then walked in front of Liu Changtian.

Liu Changtian looked at Xu Hong's hippie smiling face, and was still a little scared in his heart, thinking, what does this kid want to do? Could it be that he still wants to beat me!

Seeing Xu Hong walking in front of him, Liu Changtian also looked up at Xu Hong a little nervously.

"Haha, President Liu, don't you want our bet money! Okay! I'll give you the bet money. After Xu Hong finished speaking, he opened the briefcase in his hand and put a book on the desk in front of Liu Changtian.

Liu Changtian was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly picked up the book that Xu Hong was still in front of him. But he just glanced at the cover, and he was completely stunned.

Liu Changtian, holding the book, couldn't help but blurt out: "Sanmao Wanderings"

"How about it, this cover is okay! Isn't it a little interesting, is the Sanmao in your heart like this! President Liu!" Xu Hong looked at Liu Changtian's eyes that kept widening, and he felt a sour feeling in his heart again, and after that, he said another sentence that made Liu Changtian listen to it, and it felt inexplicable.

"How did you get --- published. Which publishing house published your book?" Liu Changtian thought, could it be Zheng Tian or Yang Ming who betrayed themselves, one on the surface and one behind the other. In the end, he helped Xu Hong publish his book.

Think about it, I and these two have been friends for many years, how can they offend their friends for many years for a rookie author!

Seeing that Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings" had been published and the sample books had been printed, Liu Changtian's eyes widened in surprise.

"Isn't there the name of the publisher on it? Xu Hong looked at Liu Changtian casually and said.

Liu Changtian hurriedly opened the title page of the book.

"New Star Publishing House Publishing ---" Looking at the publishing house of this book, Liu Changtian is even more of a big one, how can there be a 'New Star Publishing House' again! How come he has never heard of it!

"A small publishing house that has only been around for less than a month. Seeing Liu Changtian's inexplicable appearance, Xu Hong naturally knew what the question in his stomach was now! So, without waiting for Liu Changtian to ask him, he said it first.

"A publishing house that has just been established for less than a month!" Hearing Xu Hong's words, Liu Changtian understood what was going on. It turned out to be a publishing house that had just been established, and I hadn't even heard of it! I really don't know how this Xu Hong found such a publishing house and published his works!

"President Liu, no matter what, this publishing house is also a legal publishing house, and it also has the right to publish. Although the sparrow is small and has all kinds of organs, don't look at the small temple, but it can publish a work of children's literature, and it still has this strength. ”

Looking at Liu Changtian, Xu Hongxian praised the publishing house he had published, after all, he was able to win Liu Changtian, and it was all the credit of this small publishing house! If it weren't for this 'new star publishing house' that had just been established. 's own works can't be published until now, so he will definitely pay Liu Changtian 500,000 yuan.

"Xu Hong, it won't be designed by you yourself, and then you will spend money to print it casually in the printing house! If this is the case, then your book is an illegal publication at all, and not only will you not be able to win me, but you will also be held legally responsible! As long as I take your book to the industrial and commercial bureau, you will not be able to eat and go around. ”

looked at Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings" published. Liu Changtian couldn't accept such a thing no matter what, after all, he felt that he had won. But now that he has lost, he has no acceptance of this, and he feels that the publication of Xu Hong's work is illegal, and it must have been printed casually at Xu Hong's own expense, and it is an illegal publication at all!

"Hehe! What are you talking about! I don't believe that my book is a legal publication! Well, you should quickly take this book to the industrial and commercial bureau! See what the staff of the industrial and commercial bureau will say! Otherwise, you can also take this book to the 'New Star Publishing House.'" Let's see if the publishing house is a real publishing house, or a counterfeiting den. ”

Seeing that Liu Changtian didn't believe that his book was a legitimate product, Xu Hong just looked at Liu Changtian and said that he wanted him to verify the identity of the book himself!

"I will, I won't give you 500,000 casually, you put such a book here first, if I find out, all this is your own ghost, then you just wait to go to court!"

Looking at Xu Hong's "Sanmao Wanderings", Liu Changtian was very surprised, but he didn't want to admit defeat like this, so he thought about investigating how Xu Hong's book was published, if it was not legal, then not only did he not lose, but he also won! )
