After arranging the meeting at the No. 1 online store, Wang Ming took some cash from the safe and went out to find a suitable office, this time he did not choose the school district, but set his sights on the economic development zone.

In the future, the economic development zone with every inch of land has just taken shape, and there are not many enterprises stationed there, and many enterprises are still waiting. And the high-tech economic development zone does not even have a shadow, in fact, it is the best environment for network companies to survive.

It took more than two hours, before the staff got off work, Wang Ming rented an office area of more than 500 square meters on the 16th floor of the Emgrand Building in the Economic Development Zone as the company's headquarters, and the rent for one year alone was 300,000 yuan.

Zhuang Murong watched all this dumbfounded, and when the staff of the Emgrand Building excitedly left with the deposit, he couldn't help but speak: "300,000, you rented it like this?" Do you have that much money? ”

Wang Ming walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the barren land below, and said, "Money is not a problem!" Brother Zhuang, I just wanted to open something, only the money I earn is money, and the rest are theoretical numbers! I can't be emotional! ”

"I don't understand what you mean!" Zhuang Murong said with a frown.

Wang Ming looked back at Zhuang Murong and said, "You just told me that trust is built little by little, I think it makes sense!" Two days ago, I walked into a misunderstanding, what I know about the Tao may not be known to others, what I believe in has not happened, and it is difficult for others to believe! I can't force everyone to believe me, I can only tell them the truth that they are all wrong and that I am right! ”

"What does this have to do with you renting an office here?" Zhuang Murong said incomprehensibly.

"Yes! Renting this place means that I have no way out, and I need to give up some unnecessary persistence! The corner of Wang Ming's mouth showed an indifferent smile: "In order to succeed, I want to force myself to the point where there is no way back, I can't continue to develop step by step!" ”

"Why is there any danger on the Hou family's side?" Zhuang Murong thought of the people of the Hou family for the first time.

Wang Ming shook his head and said, "It's not that reason!" Brother Zhuang, I can't explain it to you, if you want to talk about it, my mentality has changed! You read slowly, and you'll understand later! ”

After saying that, Zhuang Murong, who was not in a daze, Wang Ming dialed Shi Xiaozhi's phone.

"Senior, you've finally called me!" Shi Xiaozhi said sadly: "I thought you would ignore me in the future!" ”

"How so!" Wang Ming said softly: "It's just that I'm thinking about something. Does your mom have time at night? I'm going to invite you to dinner! ”

"Wait a minute, I'll ask!" Shi Xiaozhi said.

Soon Shi Xiaozhi said happily: "Mom said that there is time, senior, my mother likes to eat French food!" ”

"Well, I'll pick you up when I've booked a seat!" Wang Ming said with a smile.

Hanging up the phone, Shi Xiaozhi looked expectant.

Seeing her daughter's appearance, Shi Yuhuan shook her head, her little girl is really trapped, forget it, everyone has to go with her when they are young! If people want to grow up, they always have to face this hurdle, and there are limits to what they can do. Compared with these, what she was more interested in was Wang Ming's attitude, he figured it out?

Wang Ming, a French chef, had never eaten it, so he still called Ye Binghuan and found a good Western restaurant. The environment is naturally not to say, but they are all waiters in Huaxia, which makes the quality of the hotel a lot lighter.

During the meal, the three of them did not talk much.

Shi Xiaozhi wanted to have a good chat with Wang Ming, but her mother was by her side, and she couldn't let go, so she could only eat steak carefully, secretly looking at Wang Ming's face, and couldn't say how happy she was.

"Aunt Shi, I want to talk to you about books!" Wang Ming put down the red wine and said with a smile.

"Oh, you're willing to give up your terms?" Shi Yuhuan said.

Wang Ming shook his head and said, "Aunt Shi, I have a new idea, can you take a look!" ”

"Tell me about it!" Shi Yuhuan said curiously.

Wang Ming smiled and said: "No matter what I say to you, you won't believe it, we still have to rely on sales in the end!" In that case, why don't we use sales volume as the royalty standard! I'll give you 20% of the sales within 1 million, I'll give you 50% of 2 million, I'll give you 10% of 3 million, I'll give you 0.5 percent of 4 million, and the royalties will all belong to me after more than 5 million sales! Of course, this basis is based on the royalty of eight percent on the first printing, and if you can't do it, I can only choose someone else! ”

Shi Yuhuan was originally tasting red wine, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared when he heard this, and he put the wine glass on the table: "You have so much confidence!" ”

"Hehe, I have enough confidence in my own work!" Wang Ming looked at Shi Yuhuan and said, "I think this condition is fair to you and me!" ”

Shi Yuhuan did not immediately agree to Wang Ming, and her confidence was a little shaken.

On the surface, she is very suitable, as long as there is a million sales, she will make money, but what if the sales volume really exceeds 10 million as Wang Ming expected? Wouldn't you lose a lot of money? More importantly, the conditions for this cooperation are completely eliminated from personal relationships, and no favors are left behind.

In the future, even if Wang Ming becomes popular and becomes a well-known writer, he will have nothing to do with her. This contract is a thorough business contract, and there is no emotional factor!

Shi Yuhuan pondered for a long time, but still chose to trust his own judgment, the sales volume could not be so high, two or three million works were hard to find, let alone 10 million? This is also the reason why she didn't agree to Wang Ming in the first place!

As for losing the opportunity to lose favors like this, she doesn't care too much.

She has learned about Wang Ming's experience, this is a kind of work with experience, it is too difficult to copy, that is to say, this will be Wang Ming's pinnacle work, it is difficult to surpass.

Thinking about these clearly, Shi Yuhuan showed a confident expression and stretched out his hand: "Happy cooperation!" ”

"Happy working together!" Wang Ming shook hands with Shi Yuhuan vigorously and said.

Shi Xiaozhi didn't notice the greasy inside, and clapped happily: "Great, it's finally negotiated!" Let's celebrate! Mom, you have to help your seniors publish their books early! ”

"I know it!" Shi Yuhuan said with a smile.

Wang Ming lowered his head and didn't let Shi Yuhuan see the mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, don't you believe it? I'll slap you in the face with facts! I'll pay a part of the benefit, but the rest of the benefit has nothing to do with you. As long as the book is popular, he has a choice.

The reason why he didn't think of this at the beginning was that Wang Ming wanted to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with Shi Yuhuan, he was afraid that he would lay a bad foundation and the next book would not be easy to negotiate.

In fact, this kind of partnership is the most suitable now, without any emotional factors, and I don't need to think about the future at all. Since I don't owe you favors, I can naturally choose whatever I want, and it may not be necessary for anyone to ask for it in the future!

The stimulus he received today from Lin Lan Wu Di made him understand that he was not qualified to negotiate now. In that case, let's prove to these people who is right. He wants these people to swallow the poison of remorse themselves.

The next morning, Wang Ming came to the hotel where Shi Yuhuan stayed, and after confirming that there was no problem with the contract, the two signed their names respectively, so that the overseas copyright of the book was taught to Shi Yuhuan, of course, there is also a liquidated damages clause in it, once it is not published for more than three months, Wang Ming has the right to terminate the contract on the spot.

"Aunt Shi, please leave this matter to you!" Wang Ming said.

"Well, I'm going to Hong Kong next week to run this thing!" Shi Yuhuan said: "If you have time, you can get your passport first, and you need to be present as an author when you sign the contract!" ”

"I will!" Wang Ming got up and said, "Aunt Shi, then I'll leave!" ”

"See you again!" Shi Yuhuan said.

Wang Ming turned his head to Shi Xiaozhi and said, "Xiaozhi, I still have to leave beforehand, you accompany your aunt to have a good turn!" ”

Seeing Wang Ming leave, Shi Xiaozhi felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably, she noticed that Wang Ming's attitude was different from a few days ago, but she couldn't say what was different, as if the whole person was a lot more polite.

"Go to the Royal Garden!" Wang Ming looked at the contract in his hand and sneered secretly, he just noticed that there was a loophole in the contract, but he didn't bring it up, or this was deliberately left by Shi Yuhuan, that is, it did not stipulate that the publishing rights of the mainland should be handed over to the Southern Publishing House.

Maybe in Shi Yuhuan's view, the value of this book is abroad, maybe she is confident that no other publishing house will dare to snatch this book from her, or Shi Yuhuan thinks that Wang Ming can't do without her, and will come to her door to beg her to publish it in China!

Hehe, it won't be long before Shi Yuhuan comes to beg me, as long as the first version is released, the rest of the matter is not up to you!

Royal Garden, Yun Yafen was restless in the box, there was a black suitcase on the table, she had just opened it, and it was full of money.

"Boss Yun, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" Wang Ming walked into the back road.

"No, Wang Shao, please take a seat, I'll make you tea!" Yun Yafen hurriedly went to get the tea leaves.

Wang Ming stopped her and said, "Don't worry, let's get down to business first, are the money ready?" ”

Here you check it out! I can come in with a money counter if needed! Yun Yafen pushed the lockbox in front of Wang Ming.

Wang Ming opened the lockbox, and a pile of banknotes was densely placed inside, this was not the most cash Wang Ming had seen in his two lifetimes, but what he saw in the past had nothing to do with him, and the money did belong to him.

Wang Ming forced his composure, closed the lockbox, and said with a smile: "I won't count the number, I believe in Boss Yun!" ”

Yun Yafenqiang smiled and said, "Wang Shao, don't worry, the money has just been withdrawn from the bank, and it will definitely not be bad!" ”

"That's good!" Wang Ming said: "Boss Yun has a pen and paper here, please take it and I will write you an IOU, I will return the money in a year!" ”

"No problem, please wait a while!" Yun Yafen said.

Waiting for Yun Yafen to leave, Wang Ming couldn't wait to open the lockbox again, touching the colorful banknotes, indescribably excited, with this money, his career can finally set sail.

"Two million is enough, enough!" Wang Ming said to himself: "From now on, no one can stop me!" ”

By the time Yun Yafen came back, Wang Ming's expression had returned to normal.

After receiving the IOU written by Lu, Yun Yafen looked at Wang Ming with hesitant eyes, not knowing whether he should give it a fight. Until Wang Ming left, she didn't have the courage to speak, and the most important thing was that she didn't know Wang Ming's true identity, and she was worried about meeting a liar.

From a cautious point of view, women still have a natural sense of alertness. It's just that she dodged this time, not the next time.

"Brother Zhuang, look at what this is!" Wang Ming opened the lockbox.

Zhuang Murong was taken aback: "How did you get so much money?" ”

"Borrowed!" Wang Ming said with a smile.

Zhuang Murong's expression, which had not changed for thousands of years, finally changed, and he looked at Wang Ming in amazement: "I now wonder if it is the right choice for me to lend you money!" ”

"Why do you say that!" Wang Ming said.

Zhuang Murong turned around and continued driving: "I find that you are becoming more and more like a liar!" ”

Wang Ming's face darkened, recalling the current situation, he showed a bitter smile, as if it was really like that!
