readx;? Chapter 367: A Lion Bigger Than a Lion
After listening to Yang Ming's words, Xu Hong was not angry, everything was in his expectations, who would give 500,000 yuan to others for no reason! No one is a fool, let alone Yang Ming, who is not a particularly rich man, even if he is a big boss worth hundreds of millions, he will not give 500,000 yuan to others casually!
"President Yang, if that's the case, I can't cooperate with you, you think, if you want to publish my work in ten days, then I will lose 500,000 to Liu Changtian first. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info Where am I going to get him so much money? Xu Hong looked at Yang Ming and pretended to be helpless. In fact, Xu Hong's strength, let alone 500,000, even if it is 5 million, he can take it. But the key is that he will never bow his head to these guys who only see the small interests in front of him, this time, he must win Liu Changtian, as for whether the published works can make money, Xu Hong doesn't care anymore.
When Yang Ming heard Xu Hong's words, he was also a little in a dilemma. I thought to myself, do you want me to really lend Xu Hong 500,000 yuan? But this is too risky! Who knows what kind of person this Xu Hong is! If he lends him 500,000 yuan now, and he pats his ass and leaves, then who will he ask for this 500,000 yuan? Why is this temple small, but it can't withstand such a toss.
Thinking about it, Yang Ming had no choice, and it was not easy for him to make money, so he didn't want to risk lending Xu Hong 500,000. So Yang Ming looked at Xu Hong and said, "Aren't you a primary school teacher? Actually, if your work is published, it will also be very beneficial to their school." I think you can also talk to your principal and say that if your work is published and you make money, you will definitely sponsor them. Now let them sponsor you first, lend you 500,000 first, and when the time comes, you will succeed and have money, and then pay them back more, isn't it very good. ”
This Yang Ming is shrewd enough, and he even thought of such a good idea!
When Xu Hong heard this, he smiled and said: "Haha, I'm sorry, your temple is small, my temple is not big, my primary school is a poor and remote primary school on the outskirts of Beijing, let alone 500,000, even if it is 100,000, they can't take it out at once!"
When Yang Ming heard this, he smiled again and said, "Oh, that's the case! Then do you have some rich relatives and friends? ”
"President Yang, do you think I am a 'native' in the capital? Any relative may be worth millions. I am a 'native' of a small county town thousands of miles away from the capital! My relatives are also poor! It would be a joke if I was asked to borrow money from them, and a few days ago, a poor relative in our county town even borrowed money from me!" Xu Hong looked at Yang Ming and began to talk nonsense.
But Yang Ming actually believed it, when he heard Xu Hong's words, he was a little strange, and even asked: "Xu Hong, since you have no money, how can your poor relatives still borrow money from you!" It seems that Yang Ming still doesn't believe that Xu Hong is a 'poor man'!
"Is this because my poor relative doesn't know my life? Just when he heard that I was working in the capital, he felt that I was a rich man! So he borrowed money from me, saying that one of my cousins had no money to get married, and wanted me to sponsor some! Hehe, you say it's funny or not. Xu Hong said as he laughed twice.
"Haha, that's the case! Hey, Xu Hong! This is very difficult! If you can't raise the 500,000 yuan, then I won't be able to help you. I really want to publish your book, but I don't have the money! If I have the money, I'll lend you 500,000 yuan, what is this money!" Yang Ming also pretended to be a good person.
When Xu Hong heard this, he became angry. So he glared at Yang Ming again and said, "President Yang, you won't have any 'benefit-sharing' with Liu Changtian! If that's the case, we really have nothing to talk about." ”
As soon as he heard Xu Hong say this, Yang Ming immediately became angry, after all, Xu Hong poked him in the sore spot. "Xu Hong, what are you talking about? Am I the person you imagined to be? My name is Yang Ming, my Ming is the Ming of the Upper Board, and I hate some things of collusion in private the most in my life. ”
"Oh, yes, then we don't have to waste any more tongues. Please, give me my manuscript!" Xu Hong said as he stood up. And came to Yang Ming, stretched out his hand to ask him for his manuscript!
After all, he also saw that Xu Hong's manuscript was really good, and if it was published, it would be very likely to make money! At that time, maybe their small publishing house could also develop into a large publishing house like 'Chunya Publishing House'!
"Xu Hong, think about it again, this is an opportunity in your life! As long as it is published, you can make a name for yourself. Yang Ming was still reluctant to give the manuscript to Xu Hong. He felt that this was also an opportunity for himself.
"Okay, then we'll sign the contract now, how about it? I can sell the rights to you, or buy them all. Xu Hong is also generous, and he dares to say that he wants to buy out all his works to the publishing house!
"Ah, you can buy out all of them, so how much money are you going to pay! I think if you can, I am willing to buy the full copyright of your "Sanmao Wanderings". As soon as Yang Ming heard Xu Hong's words, he was a little tempted again. I just thought that what Xu Hong said was really a way, in this way, not only could I not offend Lao Liu and Lao Zheng, but I could also make a lot of money! Because I have the copyright in my hand, I can publish it whenever I want! I don't care about these days!
"Hehe, your temple is small, I don't know how much it is good to say! Otherwise, you can say how much money can you give me!" Xu Hong didn't know how much to say, anyway, he knew that his work would definitely sell for a sky-high price. This is the world's most famous IP during his lifetime!
Yang Ming thought for a moment and then stretched out a finger and said, "Otherwise, I'll give you this number." Xu Hong stared at one of Yang Ming's index fingers for a while and said, "Is it ten thousand!"
"What are you kidding, your work is so good, can I give you such a low price!It's 100,000, should you be satisfied!" Yang Ming also knew that Xu Hong's work was so good, it was still a super long story, and it was impossible for him to win 10,000 yuan. The 'starting price' of this work must be higher than that of other works.
"Hehe, 100,000 yuan! Don't you think it's too cold! Is my work worth 100,000 yuan? You said it just now! After my work is published, it is possible to earn millions of dollars every year! Now, if you give me 100,000 yuan, you want to buy out my work, how is this possible!" As soon as he heard Yang Ming's words, Xu Hong of course immediately refused.
When Yang Ming heard this, he blushed and said, "Then I don't know how much money Mr. Xu wants!"
When Xu Hong heard this, he also stretched out a finger, looked at Yang Ming and said, "I want this number too." ”
"Ah, do you want a million!" Seeing that Xu Hong also stretched out a finger, Yang Ming felt that Xu Hong wanted a million! After all, he offered 100,000 just now, and Xu Hong refused.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming didn't wait for Xu Hong to say anything more, and said a little angrily: "Xu Hong, are you a lion opening his mouth? Do you know if you know the price at which the publishing house buys out the author's work now, and I will give you 100,000 yuan, which will already directly lift you to the sky! Why are you still not satisfied! Let me tell you, if an ordinary newcomer author wants to publish his own work and wants the publishing house to buy it out, it will usually cost a few thousand yuan a work. Especially excellent works, there are only tens of thousands. You're also a newcomer! I'll raise it to 100,000 yuan for you all at once, aren't you still satisfied? This is the buyout price of many well-known old authors!"
Yang Ming looked at Xu Hong, still unhappy, feeling that Xu Hong was opening his mouth, because Xu Hong didn't understand the general price of buying out newcomers' works in the publishing industry now.
"Haha, do you think I'm a fool! Of course I know about that. However, I'm a lion bigger than the lion you think!I'm afraid I can't think of it!" Xu Hong looked at Yang Ming, first laughed twice, and then said these inexplicable words.
However, when Yang Ming heard it, he felt that he could hear what Xu Hong meant. He looked at Xu Hong with extremely surprised eyes and said, "What do you mean, don't you mean one million with this finger, but not ten million." ”
"Haha, your comprehension is not bad, this finger of mine is 10 million!" Xu Hong said with a smile.
"Smack!" Yang Ming completely broke out at this time, he took Xu Hong's manuscript out of the drawer, and then wanted to go back to the floor in front of Xu Hong!
After all, if he dared to do that, Xu Hong might also explode, and although he was much older than Xu Hong, his figure was much younger than Xu Hong. If Xu Hong is angry and angry, then he, a little old man, is afraid that he will have to suffer. Also, how much money Xu Hong wants, that's someone else's business, and you can't control them! You can just disagree, and you don't need to be very angry! Even if someone wants 100 million, is that still people's freedom? If you don't agree, you don't want other people's copyrights, and there's no need to make a big deal with others for this!
"Haha, President Yang, if that's the case, we can end this 'pleasant' conversation. Xu Hong looked at Yang Ming, walked up to him, and put away his manuscript.
"Xu Hong, you will regret your lion's opening today. You've offended me, and no one in this Beijing Children's Publishing House will publish your work anymore. Because there are only three decent children's publishing houses in Beijing now, I am the last publishing house that has the ability to publish your works this time, but you don't even know how to cherish them! Hey, you will regret it, you will regret it. ”
Yang Ming said like this, but his voice became smaller and smaller, and he became more and more unconfident, because he felt that this might also be an opportunity for his publishing house to become bigger, if he missed Xu Hong's good work, it would be difficult to encounter such a work again.
"Haha! Haha! Okay, President Yang, then let's 'ride a donkey and read the ledger -- we'll see! Let's see who can have the last laugh, and then see who will regret today's behavior. ”
Xu Hong said, put his work in the black briefcase he carried, and strode out of Yang Ming's office.
Yang Ming looked at Xu Hong's back, then sat on the boss's chair, picked up the cigarette case on the desk, took one out of it, and then trembled and picked up the lighter and lit it, and then took a hard puff.
"Who will regret it, who will regret it--- is it Xu Hong or myself---" Yang Ming sat on the sofa chair and fell into deep thought---。
Besides, Xu Hong took his manuscript and strode out of Yang Ming's office. Out of the 'Spring Sprout Press'. Xu Hong saw that the weather outside was sunny, it was a good weather, although it was already late autumn, but today was the sun was shining, it was a good weather.
"Haha, that's cool. Although this time, Xu Hong hit a wall again, but this time he hit a wall and felt different from the last two times. The last two times, he was only angry, and he didn't feel much refreshed, but this time, he really felt very happy, as if he had vented all the grievances of the previous two times.
"Hmph, we'll see. Xu Hong looked up at the office building of the 'Chunmiao Publishing House' in front of him again, and then sat in his own car, wanting to drive away!
But as soon as he got into the car, his phone rang again.
Xu Hong took out his mobile phone from his pocket and thought, who could it be? Could it be Yang Ming? Unlikely? Could it be that he regretted it so quickly. 10 million, even if he regrets it, he can't afford it at all!
In fact, even if Xu Hong made 10 million yuan just now, he felt that if his work was published in the future, the potential value would never be 10 million!
Xu Hong directly gave 10 million, he knew that Yang Ming didn't dare to sign a contract with him, which was equivalent to a direct slap in the face to Yang Ming, even if he wanted to buy out his work, but he couldn't afford to pay this money! If it was Yang Ming, he probably wanted to lower the price by himself, and then talk to himself!
"Okay, I want to see who hit it, if it was Yang Ming, I would never reduce the price. Thinking of this, Xu Hong took out his mobile phone from his pocket. But when he looked at the caller ID, it turned out to be a person named Li Wei. (To be continued.) )
