Chapter 57: Signing a contract with a publishing house

The two sat down in the living room, Bai Yujing took out the Zhengshan Xiaozhong tea and tea set hidden in the cabinet, and brewed tea on the table.

Gao Yuan immediately handed Bai Yujing a business card: "Hello, Mr. Bai, this is my business card." ”

Bai Yujing stood up and took it with both hands, looked at it, and the business card said, General Manager of Rixi Book Publishing House, Bai Yujing still knows this publishing house, and it can be regarded as the largest batch of physical publishing houses in the country.

"Thanks to Mr. Bai for his help some time ago, otherwise I would not have been able to become a personal shareholder of the publishing house, and I am currently mainly responsible for the magazine and newspaper department of the publishing house, and I also serve as the editor-in-chief. After Bai Yujing finished reading it, Gao Yuan immediately spoke.

Bai Yujing took a look at it and asked: "This matter is still taken advantage of by my side, I am also very satisfied with this house, and thank you Mr. Gao for the transfer, I don't know what Mr. Gao is referring to when he comes to sign the contract this time?"

Gao Yuan nodded: " Then I'll get straight to the point, Mr. Bai's things abroad, I have also heard a little, I also read Mr. Bai's Weibo, whether it is photography, text perspective, can be called professional, plus a series of events, Mr. Bai's popularity and fans in China, also has a certain mass base, and Mr. Bai's appearance conditions are also very good, so I want to sign Mr. Bai, become our traveler and writer, and make you a well-known traveler under our publishing house. ”

Bai Yujing nodded, and understood Gao Yuan's intention: "If I join your publishing house, what are the main things I am responsible for, and what are my obligations?"

Mr. Gao said: "There is no obligation to talk about it, it is to publish some travel articles on a regular basis in our travel magazine, which we have a magazine called "Travel Around the World" , is a monthly magazine, with a circulation of 300,000 copies, and will be distributed simultaneously in the travel section of major websites, including some major travel apps, in addition, you may need to spend some time and live broadcast on the live broadcast platform we cooperate with for a certain amount of time, I also have a personal suggestion, that is, I hope you can write your trip to the UK as a novel, published by our publishing house, I think with this popularity, it will be able to sell well. ”

Bai Yujing didn't expect Gao Yuan to say one after another, one ring after another, it seemed that he really planned to come to the real thing, and he had seriously considered this aspect of the problem, rather than rushing over to try his luck by signing Bai Yujing.

"I didn't expect you to be able to think of such perfection, I was really very moved after listening to what you said, is there anything else?" Bai Yujing sat on the sofa and thought about it for a while.

Gao Yuan also laughed: "Now it is now the era of Internet pan-IP, our publishing house, as the source of IP and creativity, of course, has to keep pace with the times, you say yes, mainly what I said above, and there are some details, that is, the status of your Weibo should be changed to our company's contracted traveler and writer, and we will arrange an editor for you at that time, when you post some articles on Weibo, I hope to be able to communicate with her." ”

"In addition, there are some good things, your trip food, clothing, housing and transportation, there may be some sponsors to sponsor, such as staying in a specific hotel, going to some attractions, restaurants, restaurants, helping them do publicity or something, the clothes and shoes you wear will also be sponsored, and the pictures on Weibo will be displayed a little. ”

Bai Yujing frowned: "In this case, isn't my itinerary up to you, this can't work, every time I travel, I have some plans and purposes of my own, and it is impossible to follow your route all the time." ”

Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, although he made a request, but it also meant that Bai Yujing was willing to talk to him, the request was always negotiated, as long as he was willing to sit down and talk, it would not be a problem.

Bai Yujing, a good seedling, was discovered by Gao Yuan, from all angles, it is full of explosive factors, not to mention that Bai Yujing's Weibo fans have grown rapidly from one million to almost two million, and he has also leaked face abroad, has a certain fan base, and is not a newcomer.

In the end, he negotiated and argued with Gao Yuan for a while, and finally decided, the destination location of each trip was determined by Bai Yujing, but the route must be told to the editor in advance, and then they made a plan, Bai Yujing felt that the final target location could reach the destination, as for where to live, what to eat, that is a matter of the way, by the way, visit the surrounding attractions, this is also something that I was prepared to do, of course, there is no problem.

After Su Yang saw that Gao Yuan and Bai Yujing had negotiated the detailed details and Bai Yujing's remuneration, he took out the contract from his bag and explained it to Bai Yujing little by little: "The annual contract fee is 3.5 million, at least three trips a year, at least one book is published, and the price of the article is given according to the first line of the publishing house. ”

After finishing speaking, he took out a contract: "This is the contract for the book you want to publish, the royalties you negotiated are ten percent, Mr. Bai, you can keep it and take a look, if there is no problem, sign it and call me." ”

Bai Yujing nodded, put the contract away, and prepared to find a professional to see it later, if there is no problem, sign it, the conditions given by Gao Yuan are already the best for Bai Yujing, although Bai Yujing has some fame and potential, but what is the follow-up development, this is not clear, Gao Yuan can be regarded as a heavy bet.

When Gao Yuanlin went out, he said enthusiastically to Bai Yujing: "You think about it, the conditions I gave are already the best, and the book you published, I hope it can be done as soon as possible. ”

"I know, thank you for Mr. Gao's appreciation this time, I will carefully consider this aspect of things. Bai Yujing sent Gao Yuan and Su Yang all the way to the gate of the community, and the other party came from afar this time, and he could feel the importance of Bai Yujing, which also made Bai Yujing a little moved.

Sitting in the living room, Bai Yujing looked at the contract, and felt that he had indeed been a little lucky recently, and he had good luck all over the world, while looking for strange creatures all over the world, he traveled around the world under the guise of a traveler, published books, posted Weibo, and had enough money for his own expenses in a year, which was not too beautiful.

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

Bai Yujing immediately called and found his uncle, Bai Yujing's uncle is a lawyer, Bai Yujing decided to ask him to help him look at this contract, if there is no problem, sign it!

"Yujing, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly think of me, why haven't you come to see me recently, how is your mother doing, is she okay!"

"I called my mother two days ago, she was in good health, she was very leisurely, opened a lamp shop at home, and played mahjong all day long, I called, and I didn't have time to pay attention to me. Bai Yujing was a little helpless when he said it.

Uncle laughed: "That's it, your mother is not young, what are you asking for at this age, it's good to be happy and peaceful, by the way, why do you have time to call me?"

"Oh, uncle, I'm going to sign a contract with a publishing house here, and I want you to take a look at it for me and see if there are any problems. ”

"Okay, you can come to me with the documents then, you haven't come to me for so long, by the way, come and sit with me, your cousin and I miss you a lot. ”

"Okay, then I'll come over tomorrow. ”

hung up the phone, but another call came immediately, Bai Yujing picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar call, "Hey, which one?"

"Bai Yujing, I'm Li Hao, what you just said, is it true that you know the origin of the mark on my ankle?" Li Hao on the phone, his voice became a little nervous, and he felt a little trembling when he spoke.

Bai Yujing also felt that something was wrong: "Li Hao, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Do you really know where this damn mark came from?" Li Hao's voice was a little excited.

Bai Yujing immediately nodded and said, "If you believe me, tell me in detail about your current situation and how the marks on your ankles came about, and I believe I should be able to help you." ”

"I don't know where this thing came from, recently, I always hear a strange woman singing in my dreams, and since yesterday, even when I'm awake, I can hear her voice from time to time, I don't even dare to sleep now, it's just too weird, you say, am I possessed by a ghost?" Li Hao said loudly.

Bai Yujing immediately soothed and said, "Don't be cranky, when did the mark and that strange woman's voice start to appear?"

"The woman's voice was the first time I heard it on the plane back from Edinburgh, and the mark was that I had one more thing on my ankle when I came back. ”

Bai Yujing asked, "So did you bring something special back from Edinburgh?" ”

"I've been looking for it a long time ago, and I wonder if I've brought something unclean back, but I've cleaned it all up, it's all new things, and I'm going to burn them all together today. Li Hao was very excited, it seemed that the strange woman's singing voice that appeared in his ears from time to time really scared him a lot.

Bai Yujing immediately stopped him: "Don't be excited, you leave the things, I will take a look at it then, maybe I will find something, if you act rashly, something will go wrong at that time, don't blame me." ”

"Ahh

"Who knows what will go wrong with this kind of thing that is connected to the mystery! I'm going to go to your place in two days, don't worry, I'll help you figure this out. Bai Yujing thought about it for a while and said, and decided to take a look at Li Hao immediately after dealing with the urgent matter at hand.

Li Hao couldn't sit still, "Wait for two days? I'll be really crazy by then, where is your address, send it to me, I'll come over now." ”
