Chapter 11 Signing

In the next few days, except for the mouse boy who invited him to have a meal, Tang Chen did not go to school, and every morning and afternoon, he picked up Li Zi to and from school on time, and almost all the time was put on Bajiquan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After taking the MX potion, in the past three months, he was not afraid that his body would not be able to bear it at all, and at this time, he was eager to practice twenty-four hours a day, where would he have time to go to school.

However, he didn't send Li Zi to school today, because today was the day when he made an appointment with Sing Tao Daily and Oriental Daily. After dressing Li Zi in the past few days and helping him pick out his outfit, Tang Chen took a taxi to Hong Kong's oldest and most luxurious hotel, The Peninsula Hotel.

The Peninsula Hotel is worthy of being known as a star hotel, and after only a while, I saw several celebrities who are very popular at the moment. However, thirty years later, they were gone, and Tang Chen was not impressed by them.

As soon as Tang Chen walked to the front of the hotel, a doorman greeted him politely and said, "Welcome sir, do you want to eat or stay in the hotel?" ”

"Editor-in-chief Fan of Sing Tao Daily, as well as Editor-in-Chief Zhuo of Oriental Daily, made an appointment with me."

"It turned out to be Mr. Tang, please come with me, the seats set by Editor-in-Chief Fan and Editor-in-Chief Zhuo happen to be together."

When the doorman heard this, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes, these two editors-in-chief seemed to him to be big shots, and the people who could be invited by them were all writers who opened columns in the two newspapers, but the good quality was that his expression did not change at all, and he respectfully led the way for Tang Chen.

Fan and Zhuo made an appointment with Tang Chen at ten o'clock in the morning, and it was only half past nine at this time, Tang Chen ordered a glass of ice water, thinking about how to use it later, the competitive relationship between the two newspapers, and maximize his interests.

Time passed slowly, and when it was almost ten o'clock, two Mercedes-Benz cars came outside the door of the Peninsula Hotel.

From the two cars, two middle-aged people walked down, these two people are not the same height, the temperament is not the same, the only thing that is the same is that the top of their heads are shining, when they see each other, they are stunned, and then with a false smile, they walk towards each other.

"Editor-in-Chief Fan, you are so idle! I actually had time to drink tea on the peninsula early in the morning. ”

The middle-aged bald man who was a little shorter looked at the taller bald middle-aged man in a mocking tone.

"Editor-in-chief Zhuo, if you're not the same, you're not afraid that the Ma brothers will fire you." Obviously, this editor-in-chief Fan is not a good person.

Fortunately, these two people are acquaintances, and the doorman saw the two of them walking up, "Mr. Fan, Mr. Zhuo, the Mr. Tang you made an appointment with arrived half an hour ago." ”

When Fan and Zhuo heard this, their eyes seemed to flash with a knife, and then they walked towards the reserved place as if they had made an appointment.

Tang Chen saw two middle-aged people from a distance, walked over quickly, and knew that the person he was waiting for was coming, so he stood up, "The two are the editor-in-chief Zhuo of Oriental Daily and the editor-in-chief of Sing Tao Daily!" ”

"You are Mr. Tang, the Mr. Tang who wrote Zhu Xian?" The two of them looked at each other, and there was suspicion in their eyes, this is too young!

"Ambition is not old, Ganluo is twelve years old, what am I?"

After confirming Tang Chen's identity, the two hurriedly touted Tang Chen. If he was just an ordinary teenager, maybe he would have been fluttering a long time ago, but obviously Tang Chen was not, he just smiled, "Editor-in-Chief Zhuo, Editor-in-Chief Fan, don't praise me, let's talk about business!" ”

"Mr. Tang hasn't eaten breakfast yet! Let's talk while we eat. After the editor-in-chief Zhuo finished speaking, he beckoned to the waiter, "Order." ”

Tang Chen had eaten early, but he had needed a lot of energy in recent months, and he was really hungry now. I didn't say politely to the two editors-in-chief, and ordered a piece of naked eye, already a company sandwich and milk.

The three of them didn't sleep or say anything. "Actually, at the beginning, I didn't expect that the two of them would ask me to talk about the signing fee in the same hotel at the same time on the same day, but fate is so wonderful, I don't know what the price of the two is, but I rejected a contract of 80 words." ”

After Tang Chen finished speaking, he continued to deal with the food, as if it was not him who spoke just now.

Zhuo and Fan looked at each other unhappily, both of them knew that they were only afraid of fighting today.

Oriental Daily is worthy of being the No. 1 newspaper in Hong Kong in terms of sales for 35 consecutive years, and the editor-in-chief Zhuo lifted his glasses and said: "We Oriental Daily bid 150 yuan for 1,000 words." ”

When Tang Chen heard this offer, he was overjoyed. But the surface was silent, and turned his head to look at Editor-in-Chief Fan.

Editor-in-Chief Fan smiled disdainfully, "You Oriental Daily, that's all there is to it." Mr. Tang, we at Sing Tao Daily came with sincerity, so we offered two hundred yuan for a thousand words, even if it was Ni Kuang, it was only so much. (I searched it, I really didn't find the 1987 remuneration, but I read a novel that said that Ni Kuang has two hundred words, and here it is Ni Kuang's two hundred words!) )

Editor-in-Chief Fan's price is indeed the highest, but Tang Chen looked at Editor-in-Chief Zhuo with a normal expression, took a sip of milk, and Editor-in-Chief Fan on the side was imposing, and said, "I wonder if your newspaper can continue to bid?" If not, Zhu Xianke will belong to us. ”

"Zhuxian, our Oriental Daily is going to decide, two hundred words per thousand, and we can get it."

"You're all right! Two hundred words for a thousand words was the first thing I called out. Editor-in-Chief Fan looked at Editor-in-Chief Zhuo with a ridiculous expression.

Editor-in-Chief Zhuo looked at Tang Chen and said: "Mr. Tang should understand that after our Oriental Daily, the two leaders of BODS, our sales volume is already the first in Hong Kong, and at the same price, I believe that Mr. Tang should know which party has greater benefits in cooperating with, after all, the later publishing is the big one." ”

Tang Chen finished the last bit of food in one bite, wiped his mouth, and said, "I'm sorry Editor-in-Chief Fan, so Oriental Daily is more suitable for the development of Zhuxian." ”

Editor-in-Chief Fan's face was not very good-looking, but he still shook hands with Tang Chen, saying that in the next novel, he must give priority to Sing Tao Daily.

In this regard, Tang Chen naturally agreed. It's just a priority, and in the end, the one with the highest price wins.

"Congratulations, Editor-in-Chief Zhuo." Editor-in-chief Fan was very personable, and after congratulating Editor-in-Chief Zhuo, he turned around and left.

Editor-in-Chief Zhuo smiled, looked at Editor-in-Chief Fan's back for a long time, and said, "Mr. Tang, you don't look like an adult yet!" You see if it's time to practice your guardian, let's sign the contract first. ”

Tang Chen naturally had no opinion, and took the phone of the hotel and dialed the number of the sixth uncle's unit.

The sixth uncle knew about the novel written by Tang Chen, but he didn't expect that someone would offer such a high price. Said to ask for leave immediately.

The two waited for a long time, and the sixth uncle was late.

Editor-in-chief Zhuo first exchanged a few words with Uncle Six, and then took out two identical contracts from his briefcase.

Tang Chen looked at it, it was similar to what he said, and there was no text trapped, so he nodded at Sixth Uncle.

"Mr. Tang, we will start to publicize it tomorrow, and next Monday Zhuxian will be serialized in our newspaper, I hope you can write a better manuscript in the future." Editor-in-chief Zhuo sent Tang Chen's sixth uncle home, and drove away with the 70,000 Zhuxian manuscript given by Tang Chen.
