After a few words of greeting, Liu Jianping went straight to the point and asked, "Boss Lan, have you read the signed novel "Dragon Battles Xingye" of Good Books Network?" ”

"I've seen it, and I'm a little impressed."

"Can it be published?"

"Uh-" Boss Lan smiled and pondered for a moment, "Young Master Liu, Xinchang Publishing House has no plans to publish a new book for the time being. ”

"Oh, that's right." Liu Jianping smiled, "The Blood of the Beast is Boiling" has been published, how is the sales?" ”

"It's not bad, hehe, but the price you offered is too high, if it's 80 yuan for a thousand words, I can sign a contract with you immediately."

"Don't worry, "Beast Blood Boiling" will be stably updated on the Internet, and when it becomes popular, we are signing a contract."

"Okay, if that day comes, I'm happy to bid 150 yuan for 1,000 words to buy the copyright of the book's traditional physical book. Hehe, when the time comes, you won't raise the price, right? ”

"I won't raise the price with you, if you don't want to offer this price in the future, and other publishers are willing to offer this price, or a higher price, then I can only sign a contract with other publishers."

"If you can get a good price for your novel, even if you don't sign up with me, I'll be happy for you."

"Thank you, Boss Lan, international long-distance is very expensive, hehe, let's talk about it here first."

"Okay, there's something to talk about online, goodbye."

……

Four days later, on February 28th, at about nine o'clock in the morning, "Dragon Battle Xingye" was updated on the Good Book Network, and after more than an hour, Liu Jianping received the contract sent by Blood Red, and that night, the newly signed "Evil Dragon Dao" began to be serialized on the Good Book Network.

That night, Zhu Fengnian took the initiative to chat with Xuehong through QQ about buying out the copyright of "Dragon vs. Xingye".

"Liu Gongzi contacted Boss Lan of Xinchang Publishing House to help you recommend "Dragon Battle Xingye", hoping to be published in T Bay, Boss Lan didn't agree, but he didn't say anything to death, only said that he had no plans to publish a new book for the time being."

"Thank you Liu Gongzi for help, I will also leave him a message, thank him."

"You're welcome. That, have you thought about selling all the copyrights of "Dragon Wars Hoshino" except for the right of authorship? ”

"Want to buy it on the good book network?"

"Yes. I discussed it with Liu Gongzi, and I plan to buy some excellent works that have been completed, and divide the VIP chapters of these works into volumes, and readers can subscribe by volume, and the price is much cheaper than subscribing by chapter, so as to attract more readers to subscribe to this work. ”

"That's a good idea."

"Think about selling the copyright."

""Dragon Battle Hoshino" is now finished, and the online subscription income has a lot to do with the recommendation of the website, and it is easy to say that the electronic copyright is sold to you...... But if the copyright of the physical book is published, you can get a lot of money, but if it is not published, then the copyright will not sell for much money. ”

"Before, you took the initiative to negotiate with me to sell half of the copyright of "Evil Dragon Dao", what do you think?"

"I didn't think much about it, thinking that I could earn forty yuan by writing a thousand words, which is not bad, and if the novel can be published, it can also increase my income."

"If you think about it, even if you are unwilling to sell the copyright of "Dragon Warriors Hoshino", it will not affect the recommendation of your new book by the Good Book Network."

"If the price is right, I'm willing to sell, what price are you willing to offer?"

"How much do you want to sell?"

"If I make a price, a thousand words and a thousand yuan, a word and a dollar, hehe, just kidding."

"Maybe one day in the future, Haoshu.com will buy out your novel for one yuan per word."

"If there is a day, I will laugh out loud in my dreams when I sleep. Lao Zhu, I won't come to you with you, 30 yuan for 1,000 words, pre-tax price, if you can, I'll sell it, but as of 12 o'clock tonight, you have to pay me the manuscript fee in February. If it doesn't work, then forget it, we can't buy and sell, benevolence and righteousness are there. ”

"Thirty-five yuan for 1,000 words, the pre-tax price, and the manuscript fee for February can also be given to you, is this okay?"

"Okay, that's great, you raised the price for me again, thank you!"

"I just hope you don't think I'm cheating you in the future."

"I'm not that kind of person, even if the physical book of "Dragon Wars Hoshino" is published in the future and can sell millions of copies, I will not be blushing, I will only be happy for you, no matter what, I still have the right of authorship, and the novels I write have a large circulation, which can greatly enhance my fame, and my future works can be sold at a good price."

"I'm relieved that you can think so. Tomorrow, I'll put together a contract and send it to you. ”

"Okay."

"You're busy, I won't bother you."

"I'll talk to you again, hehe, the total number of words in "Dragon Fighting Xingye" is 1.17 million, calculated at a price of 35 yuan per thousand words, the pre-tax manuscript fee is 40,950 yuan, and the after-tax yuan, right?"

"You calculated with a calculator, and you can't go wrong."

"Wow, it's so cool, I've only been writing for more than four months, and I've made so much money."

"If your book is published, you might make even more."

"I'm already very content, although the possibility of the publication of the book "Dragon Battle Hoshino" is not small, but it may not be published, I hope that after you buy out the copyright of this book, you can operate and publish, and when it is published, send me a few sets of books, and I can show off with my relatives and friends."

"If it is published, I will definitely send you a few sets of books."

"If you flash it, if you write a thousand words, you can earn fifty yuan, and I will spend more time writing novels in the future."

"It's not just about the number of words, it's about quality."

"Lao Zhu, you can rest assured, I, a rookie writer, also talk about professional ethics."

……

On March 1, five good book network signed works such as "Boiling Beast Blood" and "Dream Back to the Ninth Five-Year Plan" were put on the shelves.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, Liu Jianping, Zhu Fengnian and Wang Yaoshen sat at the table for breakfast.

While eating and chatting, after chatting a few words, Zhu Fengnian said: "Jianping, Xiao Ding contacted me yesterday. ”

Liu Jianping was stunned when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "Did he accept my offer?" ”

As early as last year, when the good book network first launched VIP, Liu Jianping contacted Xiao Ding, hoping to cooperate with the other party, at that time, he did not expect to obtain the exclusive agency right of the simplified electronic copyright of the novel "Zhu Xian", and only wanted to sign a B contract with the other party.

As early as June 2002, Xiao Ding's first full-length work "Dark Road" signed a contract with the publishing house of T Bay to publish, and the second work "Zhu Xian" has also been published in Baodao, and has achieved good sales.

At the invitation of Liu Jianping, Xiao Ding created an account on Haoshu.com, and updated the novel "Zhu Xian" on the site, which is less than the traditional physical book that has been published.

With the signing of many novels written by Liu Jianping and Boss Lan, he has obtained a lot of manuscript fee income, and he is a little "rich", looking for Xiao Ding again, this time, he did not just think about obtaining the simplified electronic copyright of the novel "Zhu Xian", but also wanted to buy out half of the copyright of all the copyrights of this novel, and he offered 100 yuan per thousand words.

Although the traditional version of "Zhu Xian" was published in Baodao, Xiao Ding's income was not particularly high when he wrote novels, Liu Jianping clearly remembered that in his previous life, the simplified version of the physical book of "Zhu Xian" was published in eight volumes in the mainland, with a total sales of more than 10 million copies, and an average single volume sales of more than one million.

Liu Jianping bid 100 yuan per thousand words to buy out half of the copyright of "Zhu Xian", Xiao Ding was a little moved, but he did not agree, nor refused, at the same time, he proposed that Liu Jianping wanted to buy half of the copyright, and could only obtain half of the copyright except for the copyright of the traditional physical book.

Now that "Zhu Xian" has been published in traditional Chinese on Baodao, Liu Jianping is not so extravagant to get the copyright of the traditional physical book, he said that this is no problem.
