Huang Yulang agreed to change the style of painting in the comics of "Zhu Xian", and all the character designs were determined by Chen Lang himself, which made Chen Lang happy and admired at the same time, because changing the style of painting itself means an adventure, and at the same time, in order to recover the cost, it is necessary to increase the price of selling books, although the prospects are very good, but it is also full of unknowns, but think about the benefits brought by the sales boom, I am afraid that it will be even bigger.

After Chen Lang got up early the next day and came back from exercising, he came to Teacher Liu's house upstairs, "Teacher, I'm here." ”

"How's the recording going?" Teacher Liu was feeding her baby daughter, and little Lori seemed a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Chen Lang.

"Only the last song has not been recorded, and the continuous high-intensity recording is very tiring, so I will take a day off today, and continue recording tomorrow, and I will come to you again when I have time." Chen Lang said sincerely.

"Actually, what I can teach you, I've already taught, I'm just a failed experienced singer, not even a singer, now all you have left is regular practice, the so-called fist does not leave the hand, and you want to use all kinds of skills as you like, smooth and natural, and you have to practice hard." Teacher Liu thought of his own experience and said with some self-deprecation.

"In any case, you are my enlightenment teacher, and my merit medal naturally has half of you. And you can rest assured, I will not lose my daily practice, and I will never be embarrassed outside. Chen Lang looked at Teacher Liu and assured.

"Hehehe...... Okay, I'll clean it up first, and then I'll see if I can help you out if you have any questions. Hearing Chen Lang's words, Mr. Liu finally showed a smile and was full of relief.

Teacher Liu put down the little Lori, Chen Lang immediately walked over, and the little Lori screamed in fright, "Ah, the wolf is coming...... and ran away, but before he ran a few steps, he was caught by Chen Lang and lifted into the air, and his calf was still kicking in the air.

"I was wrong, Brother Lang Lang, I won't dare next time." Little Lori said pitifully.

Chen Lang looked at the little guy pretending to be pitiful, laughed hehehe, and kissed the little loli on the face before putting down the little guy. After seeing Teacher Liu come out, he followed Teacher Liu to the side, said what he didn't grasp well when singing recently, and asked Teacher Liu for advice, and Teacher Liu also listened quietly and answered according to his own experience.

The two were exchanging questions about singing skills on the side, until Chen Lang remembered that Manager Liu had something to do with him today, so he hurriedly said goodbye and went downstairs to go home.

After returning home, Chen Lang saw that Manager Liu was already sitting on the sofa, and immediately stepped forward, "I'm sorry, Uncle Liu, I forgot the time when I discussed comics yesterday." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, Lang Lang, your career is getting bigger and bigger, it's so busy every day, I have to make an appointment to see you in the future." Manager Liu made a rare joke.

"Uncle Liu laughed, tell me what you have to do with me." Chen Lang said with a smile.

"I'm here for two things, the first is to send you money." After Manager Liu finished speaking, he took out a check from his briefcase and handed it to Chen Lang, "It's already the beginning of July, and a month and a half has passed since the sale of "Zhu Xian", and as of the end of June, "Zhu Xian" has sold a total of 22,066 sets in Hong Kong, which is indeed much beyond expectations.

Taiwan sold 95,431 sets, Southeast Asia sold 81,854 sets, adding up to a total of 199351 sets, according to 200,000 sets, the profit of each set is 20 yuan, the total profit is 4 million yuan, Lang Lang your share ratio is 15%, that is, 640,000 yuan. ”

"It sold 4 million Hong Kong dollars in a month and a half, which is comparable to the box office profit of a movie, right?" Chen Lang didn't expect to make so much money by publishing novels in 1981, you must know that piracy definitely makes more money than this, if everyone doesn't watch pirated copies but buys genuine copies, how much money will they have to make.

"We never imagined that we would sell so many books, which was really surprising, but now that sales in Hong Kong have peaked, there will be no more sales of such high volumes.

Taiwan and Southeast Asia can still sell some more, after all, it is not like Hong Kong, which is just a city with limited capacity, but piracy is rampant, and I am afraid that there will not be sales in the first month, or even half a month's sales are good. Manager Liu said with pity.

"Uncle Liu, it's already a surprise to be able to sell so much, you can't be too greedy." Chen Lang looked at Manager Liu, who seemed to be still unsatisfied, and smiled.

"That's right, this result has long been unexpected, I shouldn't be too greedy." Manager Liu also laughed as he spoke, it seems that in the face of this huge interest, it is easy to be confused.

"But your publishing house has earned more than 4 million, and I only have less than 650,000, does Uncle Liu think this is too little?" Chen Lang frowned and said.

"Uh......" Manager Liu was speechless when he heard Chen Lang's words, "Just now Lang Lang, you said that you can't be too greedy, and now you have to open your mouth to raise the price?" ”

"Yes, but I think I deserve to get more, you wouldn't have made so much money without the "Zhu Xian" I wrote, or if I sold "Ethereal Journey" to other publishing houses, they would definitely give me a price that satisfies me, what do you say?" Chen Lang pretended to be indifferent and said.

"Don't don't, don't, don't, I also know that Lang Lang you have earned less, "Zhu Xian" has signed the agreement and cannot be changed, but we can give you a big red envelope, as for "Ethereal Journey", Lang Lang, tell me yourself, how much dividends you want." Manager Liu immediately said anxiously.

"I said that I have always been grateful to the Oriental Daily for appreciating and fanciing me, so our cooperation has always been very pleasant, but when it comes to interests, it is better to talk openly and honestly, so as not to feel uncomfortable but not say it, and in the end it will end badly, what do you think?"

Chen Lang still wants to cooperate with "Oriental Daily", but he can't completely give up his own interests just because the other party likes them, after all, his plan also needs money.

"Yes, yes, it's best to say everything, don't hide it, and end up unhappy, it's not good for anyone, Lang Lang, you directly talk about the proportion of your heart, we will try to consider it."

Manager Liu knows that Chen Lang is still grateful to the "Oriental Daily", and the "Oriental Daily" also attaches great importance to this friendship, although it is mixed with the reasons of interests, but the cooperation between the two sides is very pleasant so far, and it is beneficial for both parties to continue to cooperate.

Chen Lang can be said to be a cash cow now, no one wants to lose, and although everyone is mentally prepared for the big sale of "Zhu Xian" this time, such sales are still surprising, in the face of such big interests, who can not be tempted?

"I want 40% of all profits." Chen Lang actually didn't know how much to use, not only to fight for his own interests as much as possible, but also not to affect the cooperative relationship between the two parties, so he thought of the ratio of 64 accounts when signing a contract with Huaxing, and the proportion that even Shao Daheng, who picked the door, could accept, it makes no sense that your "Oriental Daily" can't accept it.

"Isn't this a bit too high from 15% to 40% all of a sudden, I have to go back and report back." Manager Liu hesitated a little when he heard Chen Lang's words.

"That's because the 15% ratio you gave at the beginning was low, and the reason why I mentioned the 40% share is because the proportion of the contract I signed with Huaxing and Yulang International is 40%, and even Shao Tycoon agreed to share 40%, do you want to be lower than this ratio?" Chen Lang pretended to be surprised and said.

"Well, I'll have to go back and report on this." When Manager Liu heard Chen Lang's words, he still hesitated.

"To tell you the truth, Uncle Liu, since you are the manager of the Oriental Publishing House, then you can be regarded as the sole leader, if you can't even decide this matter, I'm afraid you won't stay in the position of manager for long." Chen Lang looked at Manager Liu in front of him and seemed to see himself in his previous life, and he hesitated when he encountered something, so he had to ask his parents, and he was indecisive.
