Chapter 210: Clapper

I was worried about how to publish "Soldier Assault", but now I hesitate among several publishing houses, and I can't make up my mind.

Govyn's heart was really a little crying and laughing.

Ba Lao said that it could be published in Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House, but this was not needed, because Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House did not come to the door by itself, and if his book was published in Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House, wouldn't it still be a good luck with Ba Lao's relationship?

"Soldier Assault" is a military-themed novel, and its distribution at the publishing house of "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art" seems to be a match made in heaven, but the Sanlian Bookstore mentioned by Tu Changshen is also very good, which is one of the most famous publishing houses in China.

Then it depends on which of the two publishing houses gives the highest manuscript fee and which one publishes and distributes faster......

On the evening of May 9, at Govern's home near Fudan University, Govin scratched his head and made up his mind.

Tomorrow, I'll call Tu Changshen and the editorial department of "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art" and ask.

Just when Govin finally decided to choose one of these two publishing houses, the door opened, and Lin Yiming walked in with a smile and said loudly: "Little pigeon, come out to pick up customers." ”

Govin didn't bother to pay attention to this unobtrusive fellow, and directly pointed at him with a middle finger, and then went about his own business.

Seeing that Govern obviously didn't take himself seriously, Lin Yiming was not angry, but leaned against the side of the door, and then pointed to the living room outside the door, and said, "Seriously, there are really guests outside." ”

"Who?" Gowen was a little skeptical about the credibility of Lin Yiming's words.

"Teacher Hang from Fudan, have you forgotten?"

Hang Jian? Ge Wen stood up from the chair suddenly, and while walking outside the room, he whispered to Lin Yiming, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

Lin Yiming's head was on Gowen's desk, and when Gowen looked back, he saw the draft of "Soldier Assault" on his desk, and Gewen couldn't help but wonder: Hang Jian was looking for himself for "Soldier Assault"? But what does he want this book for?

A trace of doubt arose in Govyn's heart.

In the living room, Hang Jian was sitting on the sofa drinking with a water glass, and then he heard a hearty laugh from behind him: "Teacher Hang, you are a rare guest!" ”

Hang Jian put down the water glass, got up from the sofa and turned to look at Gowen, this kid hadn't seen him for more than a month, and now he became more and more energetic.

As Lin Yiming indicated, Hang Jian came this time for Gowen's "Soldier Assault".

As an elite teacher of Fudan University, Hang Jian not only teaches well, but also because he is good at administration, he was entrusted by the president of Fudan, Mr. Su Buqing, to take on important responsibilities, in addition to his usual classes, he is also responsible for many things related to his major, such as the speech in the auditorium of Fudan University, such as the tutoring work of various literary societies of Fudan University, such as Fudan University Press, which has been established for less than three years.

Fudan University Press was established in 1981 and is sponsored by Fudan University, under the dual jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education and Education and the Shanghai Municipal Press and Publication Bureau. It is a very professional publishing house for teachers and students in universities. This can be seen from the books published by Fudan University Press, including textbooks, academic monographs, academic collections, biographies, reference books, and high-grade cultural popularization books."

In addition, this publishing house is also special - most of the authors of its published books are teachers from Fudan University and other universities.

The reason why Hang Jian came to Govin was to change the system of Fudan University Press.

As a high-ranking elite, Hang Jian certainly knows and understands the country's current economic systems and policies, so he disagrees with the closed and conservative system of Fudan University Press. Hang Jian felt that publishing houses should not reject economic benefits, should not only publish the works of university teachers, and should not only publish those professional textbooks and books, but must be bold and enterprising in the market economic system and strive to broaden the scope of business.

Since he took over the affairs of Fudan University Press, he began to rely on Fudan to actively organize manuscripts for the whole of China, he wanted to find the most suitable authors in China, and he wanted to make the proportion of Fudan authors decline from 100% when the society was founded year by year.

His idea was endorsed by Su Buqing, the president of Fudan University, and his achievements are also remarkable, and now the proportion of Fudan authors in publishing houses has dropped from the original 100% to 65%, but 30% of the 35% decline is authors from other universities. This cannot but be said to be influenced by the name of Fudan University and the public's incorrect perception of Fudan University Press.

Hang Jian clearly knows that the development of Fudan University Press has encountered a bottleneck, and if he wants to get out of the current predicament, he needs an opportunity.

And Govyn's "Soldier Assault" is a very good opportunity, if Fudan University Press can publish Govine's novels, not only can it make a lot of money, but also make Fudan University Press make a gorgeous turn.

Therefore, Hang Jian is bound to win Gowen's "Soldier Assault".

"Haha, why aren't you welcome?" Hang Jian laughed.

"Why, I can't ask for it." Govin came to the sofa and shook Hang Jian's hand.

After the two sat down, Hang Jian groaned for a while, and then directly said with a wry smile and made his origin clear: "Gowen, I actually want to discuss something with you this time." Can you give me the manuscript of your book "Soldier Assault" for publication? ”

Hang Jian's straightforward example surprised Gowen, the time between the two of them is not short, what is Hang Jian's character, Gewen has a certain understanding. In his impression, Hang Jian has never been such a straightforward person!

"Mr. Hang, I'm confused about what you said, is there a publishing house looking for you to be a lobbyist?" Govyn voiced the speculation in his mind.

Hang Jian was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Don't you know that we also have a publishing house at Fudan University?" ”

"Uh... I really don't know. "Govin Khan, when he learned from Lin Yiming that Hang Jianlai was for "Soldier Assault", Govin thought that he must have found Hang Jianlai as a lobbyist after a small publishing house that didn't know where he ran into a wall here, you must know that he has rejected the invitations of many small publishing houses these days.

"Haha, then let me introduce you to our Fudan University Press first." Seeing that Govin was a little embarrassed, Hang Jian laughed.

Before coming, Hang Jian's only worry was that Gewen had sold the copyright of "Soldier Assault", as for whether Govin would let Fudan University Press publish his novel, Hang Jian was very confident in this, not to mention the strength of Fudan University Press, the relationship between Fudan and Govine alone, Hang Jian was 80% sure that he would get the copyright of "Soldier Assault".

It's really not good, just let Principal Su come forward, I don't believe that Govin will be so faceless!

Hang Jian began to seriously introduce the situation of Fudan University Press to Gewen.

"......, at present, the author team of Fudan University Press is changing from mainly Fudan authors to authors from other universities and authors in society, but now Fudan University Press has encountered a bottleneck, and it urgently needs an excellent work by authors from outside universities to prove to the vast number of authors that Fudan University Press has the strength and ability to distribute books!"

"So Mr. Hang, you fell in love with my "Soldier Assault"?" Although Fudan University Press has only been established for two or three years, with the connections of major universities and scientific research institutions across the country, its distribution outlets no longer only rely on Xinhua Bookstore, but also have its system outlets all over the country. Moreover, Fudan University has published a lot of books that have won national awards in the past two or three years, so although the strength of Fudan University is not as good as that of Sanlian, Shanghai People, Shanghai Literature and Art and other publishing houses, it is also a second-tier publishing house.

"That's right! So......, you promised? Hang Jian asked a little nervously.

"Teacher Hang, aren't you worried about smashing the brand of Fudan University Press? You're taking too big a step, aren't you? Instead of answering Hang Jian's question, Gowen continued to ask.

"Since we have established a publishing house in Fudan, the publishing house must be independent and responsible for its own profits and losses. The pursuit of economic interests and good reputation is the fundamental purpose of every enterprise. Your book "Soldier Assault" is now serialized in the newspapers, of course, we are the target of our pursuit. We at Fudan University Press publish good books, and they are not limited to professional fields. Besides, in the market economic system, what is wrong with adapting to the market and pursuing profits? ”

"Well said!" Hearing Hang Jian's words, Govin not only clapped his hands. Compared with the Shanghai People's Publishing House and Shanghai Education Publishing House, which he has been to, Hang Jian's thinking and mind are in line with the identity of a real publishing house leader. From Hang Jian's words, Ge Wen also judged one point - compared with the conservative general publishing houses, Fudan University Press is more flexible and pays more attention to the market economy system.

Compared to Fudan University Press, you are all scum!

Govin recalled the encounter with so many large publishing houses in Shanghai, and couldn't help but flash a trace of disdain in his mind.

If you don't pay attention to the economic system and don't pursue profits, no matter how good you are, the publishing house will bow your head and admit your mistakes in the end. Don't think that the iron rice bowl will not rot, if you don't adapt to the market this year, you are destined to be eliminated!

"So you agreed to have your novel published by Fudan University Press?" Hang Jian asked with some surprise.

"Mr. Hang, our brothers settle the accounts, how should this manuscript fee be calculated?" A smile appeared on Govyn's face.
