Chapter XXXVII

There are more than one that are interested in finding Shen Nan to publish fairy tales, and there are three in total.

Rose Publishing House, Qingqing Children's Publishing House and Excellent Publishing House.

Rose Publishing House is a veteran publishing house with a history of more than 50 years, but somehow, it has not developed, and has always been in the ranks of the middle and lower reaches, and in recent years there has been a downward trend.

Qingqing Children's Publishing House, not only publishes children's books, but mainly children's books, but also publishes other literary works, they have a history of more than ten years, their strength is good, and they can rank among the top five in the country.

Youpin Publishing House is the largest publishing house in the country, with strong strength, and the bestsellers every year can monopolize sixty percent.

It also has more than a dozen self-created magazines such as "Youth Literature" and "Reading", as well as reading websites such as Youpin Reading Network.

Among these three, there is no doubt that Youpin is the strongest, and the ideal choice in Shen Nan's heart is also: Youpin, Qingqing Children, and Rose.

First of all, Shen Nan first dialed the phone number left by Youpin Publishing House.

When the phone rang, Tian Jinshan never expected that it was Shen Nan calling, as the second-in-command of Youpin Publishing House, Tian Jinshan basically took over the work of the first leader, and his status was extremely high, and this time he decided to publish Shen Nan's fairy tales, which was also his idea.

He worked in the second-in-command position for eight years, and his goal was to remove the word "vice" from the vice president and become the real president.

"Hello, I'm Tian Jinshan." After connecting the phone, Tian Jinshan said lightly.

"I'm Shen Nan." Shen Nan didn't know who Tian Jinshan was, so he directly reported his name.

Hearing the name Shen Nan, Tian Jinshan hurriedly said: "Hello Mr. Shen, let me introduce myself, I am Tian Jinshan, the vice president of Youpin Publishing House, and I am mainly responsible for this cooperation with you." ”

Shen Nan smiled: "I don't know how President Tian wants to cooperate?" ”

Shen Nan removed the word "deputy", which made Tian Jinshan feel dark for a while.

In a good mood, Tian Jinshan's attitude is also better: "That's the case, we want to publish the stories you broadcast in the "Fairy Tales of the Everyday", a single book for every ten stories, and a total of ten copies of one hundred stories, and the copyright of these hundred stories will be owned by us within three years. ”

Shen Nan has no objection to the single book, and there is no problem with a hundred stories, Shen Nan is most concerned about the remuneration.

"There's no problem with that, and I'd like to look at the remuneration aspect." Shen Nan smiled: "I hope President Tian can give me an attractive price." ”

Tian Jinshan laughed twice and said: "The remuneration for the author, this is easy to say, if it is shared, you will be given 180 yuan for 1,000 words, this price is the highest in the industry." ”

The buyout remuneration of 180 yuan for 1,000 words is indeed not low, but Shen Nan is not satisfied, and fairy tales give him 1,000 words and 1,300 words every day! Although it can't be compared, Shen Nan is still too little, and he prefers to share.

"What about the shares?" Shen Nan didn't answer the topic, and asked instead.

Tian Jinshan obviously knew that Shen Nan would ask about this, and said with a smile: "If it is divided according to the number of prints, you can be given 10% of the royalty, and if it is calculated according to the circulation, you can be given 12% of the royalty, this price is not low, right?" ”

After speaking, Tian Jinshan laughed confidently twice.

It's not low, Tian Jinshan's price is definitely a conscience price, but it still can't satisfy Shen Nan's appetite, what is Shen Nan's identity now? But the two fairy tales were selected for the textbook! And now it's on fire. His fairy tales are the most popular at the moment, and you give high royalties? I'm sorry, in my Shen Nan's eyes, it's the price of cabbage! You know, he's a strange commodity now!

"President Tian, your price is indeed not low, but I think it is still less, I can't agree." Shen Nan said with a smile, he didn't want to offend anyone for no reason, so even if he couldn't negotiate, he reported that the deal could not be done with the psychology of benevolence and righteousness, and he spoke more politely.

"Ten percent less? You must know that this is a hardcover, and the price is 30 yuan a copy! The first printing of 200,000 copies is not a small number. Tian Jinshan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Shen Nan's low offer, but then replied.

Shen Nan was also stunned, the price of 30 yuan, there are only ten stories, which is a bit ridiculously expensive, and the first printing of 200,000 copies! Generous!

Calculated in this way, the royalties for the first printing can get 600,000! Even after paying taxes, you can get more than 500,000 yuan!

He was a little excited, but he was still a little unwilling, and it was good to mention a little.

"President Tian, I want to get 20 percent of the royalties." Shen Nan said directly.

"You're crazy! Twenty percent royalties! This is unprecedented! Tian Jinshan was taken aback, and he was a little speechless.

Shen Nan smiled and said, "President Tian, it's a pity, it seems that we can't cooperate, thank you for your attention." ”

"Twelve percent!" Tian Jinshan said loudly.

"Fifteen percent!" Shen Nan bargained.

"Mr. Shen, we really can only get to 12 percent, I hope you can think about it." Tian Jinshan sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile.

"Okay, I'll think about it." Shen Nan also sighed.

After the conversation, Shen Nan dialed the Qingqing Children's Publishing House again, but unfortunately there was still no consensus, and the royalties given by the Qingqing Children's Publishing House were only 8%.

Now that he only took the Rose Publishing House, Shen Nan dialed the phone number of the Rose Publishing House.

"Hello, I'm Yu Lianjie, president of Rose Publishing House, who are you?" A crisp, sleek-sounding voice came through.

"Hello, President Yu, I'm Shen Nan." Shen Nan introduced himself.

"Oh, hello Mr. Shen." When Yu Lianjie heard that it was Shen Nan, he suddenly became enthusiastic.

"President Yu, that's right, I called to talk about publishing cooperation."

"Okay, Mr. Shen, I wonder if I can get your permission to publish your fairy tales?" Yu Lianjie said: "We came up with a collection of "Shennan Fairy Tales", which is expected to include 20 to 100 stories, of course, the more stories, the higher the price. ”

Shen Nan still got straight to the point: "In terms of royalties, how are you going to distribute them?" ”

"That's right, Mr. Shen, we are already content to get your authorization, do you think this will work? For the first printing of 300,000 copies, the royalty is 25 percent, if it is reprinted, the royalty is 15 percent for reprinting, if it is printed three times, the royalty is 10 percent for three printing, if it is printed four or more, the royalty is all 7 percent for the future. "The price offered by Yu Lianjie is unparalleled in the world! If Shen Nan doesn't agree again, it will be a bit excessive, and he will be punished!

"President Yu, you have offered this price, can I refuse without knowing the sky?"

After the conversation, Yu Lianjie finally breathed a sigh of relief, you must know that since her father handed over this publishing house to her, the situation has deteriorated, and she has thought of many ways, but it has not changed, there is no way, what can she do if she can't get a best-selling book.

Shen Nan became popular, and Yu Lianjie immediately hit Shen Nan with the idea, if the publishing house wants to continue to survive, it must sign a good book, and it must be famous and sell in order to attract more high-quality submissions.

She published Shen Nan's fairy tales, and the first two editions must have made no money, but as long as she doesn't lose too much, she can accept it.

With Shen Nan's current popularity. If his work can be published, it will definitely be a lot of attention, and the Rose Press will come back to life. That's it!

Shen Nan was in a good mood after selling the copyright, and was going to take Zhong Susu to eat delicious food tonight, but before he could figure out where to go, Tian Jinshan, vice president of Youpin Publishing House, who had not been negotiated at the beginning, called.
