Chapter 257: Zhiyuan Publishing House
"Then you go quickly, I'll fill in these formalities for you. "www.biquge.infoListening to Xiao Hong's words, the manager responded directly and volunteered to take on the chores. No way, his salary is also closely related to sales.
After hearing Xiao Hong say that he wanted the keys to the Cadillac Escalade, wrinkles appeared on the manager's smiling face.
"Mr. Zhang, please." Xiao Hong handed the key to Zhang Zai.
"Get in the car." Greeted Qin Yang. Then he was the first to get into the driver's seat. The intermediate mastery of driving can be regarded as useful.
Driving the Cadillac Escalade around outside, as soon as he returned to the 4S store, Zhang Zai took out his bank card and handed it to Xiao Hong, "The full amount, it's hard to drive." ”
Hearing Zhang Zai's words, Xiao Hong almost didn't react until Zhang Zai waved his hand in front of him. brought this person back to reality.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang." Xiao Hong, who came back to his senses, hurriedly took Zhang Zai to go through the formalities. At this moment, Xiao Hong almost became a fan of Zhang Zai.
………
"Mr. Zhang, are you sure that this is the work that your son has entrusted you with full authority to publish?" In Rongcheng Zhiyuan Publishing House, a middle-aged man with glasses is talking to Zhang Yuanyi. With glasses, my body is a little blessed by the lack of exercise. Despite this, the bookish atmosphere can't be concealed.
He is Chang Xiao, the editor-in-chief of Zhiyuan Publishing House. Although they have the same name as a certain host, they are two completely different people.
"I'm sure. I told my son and he agreed that I would help him publish it, so basically I could represent my son. Zhang Yuanyi nodded.
"Mr. Zhang, please use tea."
"Thank you."
"First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Zhang very much for choosing our Zhiyuan Publishing House. Ling Lang's masterpiece, I've already read it. It's only partial, but I can feel that it's a very good work. ”
When I say something, I often laugh against my will, this work is not very good, but a giant bull. To be honest, Chang Xiao heard Zhang Yuanyi say that he was publishing a novel for his son, and he almost didn't rush people. But Zhang Yuanyi is also a businessman who has been in the society for many years. There is still a set of ways to market your own goods.
It didn't take long for Chang Xiao to be a little moved by what Zhang Yuanyi said, and then with a skeptical attitude, he opened the work brought by Zhang Yuanyi.
Then the worldview of his publishing house editor-in-chief for many years was destroyed into ruins by this novel called Zhu Xian. He can assure that this is an epoch-making work. Because he can speak responsibly, many years of editor-in-chief. Almost all of his published works are martial arts.
And this book is like a key that opens the door to a new era for him. Chang Xiao felt that if this book could be published by their Zhiyuan Publishing House, it would definitely be able to compete with the ghost blowing lantern of the Sifang Publishing House.
You must know that since the Sifang Publishing House didn't know where it had found such a great god, the life of their publishing house began to become sad. Fortunately at first, since Journey to the West and Ghost Blowing Lantern came out, there were fewer customers at first, and even sales were declining later. It made them turn white.
Fortunately, there is now a great god in their publishing house. Of course, not yet. Although he is a reader, he still has the eye to smile, and he feels that if he can let go of this book, he can directly resign from the company, after all, he will not forgive himself.
"Secondly, there are some copyright issues about the book. Our publisher is willing to buy out this book for 500 words. I don't know if Mr. Zhang has any objections. ”
Listening to Chang Xiao's words, Zhang Yuanyi glanced at Chang Xiao in surprise. He had already asked around before he came. Generally speaking, in martial arts now, the buyout is about 100 words per 100. Only the works of some writers can reach two or three hundred dollars.
And this kind of five hundred words. It can be said that there are few pitiful, but those who can get this kind of treatment are basically the pillars of the publishing house now. For a moment, Zhang Yuanyi was a little moved. But still shook his head. He hadn't forgotten what his son had told him.
Looking at Zhang Yuanyi shaking his head, he was often stunned, when he opened the price, he was in the chest, he believed that it was impossible for anyone to refuse in front of this price, but he didn't expect that he was slapped before he was slapped. "Does Mr. Zhang have any objections to the price?"
"No, I personally agree with the price of Chang Xiao's editor-in-chief, but before I came, my son also made a request for me."
Listening to Zhang Yuanyi's words, Chang smiled and straightened his body, he knew that the key to winning this book may be on this requirement." ”
"I believe that the editor-in-chief of Chang Xiao should know very well about the copyright of the ghost blowing the lamp, right?"
Chang Xiao didn't speak, but fell silent. Everyone is a smart person, and this kind of thing is easy to understand. There is no need for him to pretend to be crazy and stupid. To be honest, he was able to offer a price of 500 words that people couldn't refuse, and he was very optimistic about the film and game adaptation of this work.
But I didn't expect to meet a knowledgeable person. "Mr. Zhang, this matter can't be discussed?" Chang Xiao is obviously not giving up.
"Except for this matter, everything else can be discussed." Hearing this, Chang Xiao knew that he could die on the matter of copyright. But despite this, he couldn't give up. Good books are hard to come by.
Now what they have to do is to leave this work. First pull back the lost customers and sales, and then slowly figure it out.
Zhang Yuanyi just looked at Chang Xiao, waiting for his reply. Before coming to Zhiyuan Publishing House again, he also went to two other publishing houses. After they read the article, they all said yes. Other issues can also be discussed, but in terms of copyright, they are stubbornly bitten. did not agree with Zhang Yuanyi's proposal at all.
This Zhiyuan Publishing House is already the third one he has run. If this one is not good, then go to the Sifang Publishing House. After making up his mind, Zhang Yuanyi was much more relaxed.
"Okay, just do as Mr. Zhang said." Chang Xiao nodded. agreed to Zhang Yuanyi's request.
A bit of bargaining ensued, and in the end, the two reached a preliminary verbal agreement with each of them accepting. Make an appointment on the date of the contract. Zhang Yuanyi got up to say goodbye.
It's just that when he was at the door, Chang Xiao suddenly stopped Zhang Yuanyi. "Mr. Zhang, can you satisfy my curiosity?"
"You want to ask the author of this Zhuxian, or my son's name, right?"
Chang Xiao nodded. Seriously, he really wanted to know who actually wrote this masterpiece.
"My son's name is Zhang Zai!"
