Originally, Wang Ming planned to tease Feng Ziying tonight, but the sudden change made him not have such a good mood. In his previous life, he belonged to half an otaku, and basically never left Chunchang City, let alone went to Hong Kong, which made him excited just thinking about it.

Sitting on the plane, Wang Ming was still in a semi-excited state: "Brother Zhuang, have you ever been to Hong Kong?" ”

Zhuang Murong's eternal tone: "I've been!" ”

"Isn't that interesting?" Wang Ming said.

Zhuang Murong blinked his eyes and said: "Generally, there are too many people in the city, it is better to be in the jungle, it is convenient to perform tasks, and you don't have to worry about being discovered!" ”

Wang Ming smiled bitterly after hearing this, this is to ask Yu Blind, the two of them are no longer on the same latitude and longitude at all!

Flying almost all over China, the plane finally landed at the airport in Hong Kong! Because of something in his heart, Wang Ming was not even in the mood to flirt with the flight attendant.

Looking at Shi Yuhuan's face that had almost no traces of time, Wang Ming secretly said that this was really a female goblin, and said with a smile on his face: "Aunt Shi, every time I see you, you are so charming!" ”

Shi Yuhuan smiled and said: "It's useless to praise me, the royalties have been determined!" ”

Wang Ming shook his head and said, "I'm telling the truth, not sycophants!" ”

"Alright, let's talk on the way!" Shi Yuhuan said.

Sitting in the car, Shi Yuhuan handed the contract to Wang Ming and said, "Take a look!" If there is no problem, we will go over and sign up! The publisher is very optimistic about your book, and the first edition will print 100,000 copies! ”

Wang Ming frowned: "So little? ”

Shi Yuhuan said with a smile and a smile: "Is this still less? Don't forget that you're a newcomer and not famous at all! The first edition of 100,000 copies is already a high number, and if the sales are good, the publisher will reprint it! ”

Wang Ming looked at the past one by one, he didn't want to fall into the trap of the contract, after all, he didn't have a deep friendship with Shi Yuhuan, and the first time they met, it was very unpleasant! But he is a villain in vain, Shi Yuhuan really doesn't have a ghost in terms of contracts, everything is on the right track!

Shi Yuhuan didn't have any dissatisfaction with Wang Ming's caution, and nodded secretly in his heart, if Wang Ming didn't look at anything, she would look down on Wang Ming if she signed it!

"Aunt Shi, can I return to China after the contract is signed?" Wang Ming said.

Shi Yuhuan shook his head and said, "How can it be so easy!" Now it's just a sign-up, and there's a series of campaigns to come! You have to know that Hong Kong is a commercial society, speculation is what they are best at, if you want to be popular, you must first hype up talents, otherwise, it will be difficult for books to become popular! ”

Wang Ming frowned and said, "Hype? ”

"Not bad! The reason why your novel was published has a lot to do with your experience! Shi Yuhuan said.

Wang Ming frowned and said, "What does this mean?" ”

Shi Yuhuan said: "Because the source of the creation of this novel comes from the real events that happened to you!" These things are what the media are most interested in, and a genius writes such a touching love story because of his own experience, which is exactly what everyone wants to see! ”

Wang Ming looked at Shi Yuhuan depressedly and said: "What you mean is that it is not the novel that moves the publishing house, but the things that happened to me!" Rescue, detention, expulsion, entrepreneurship or something? ”

"Of course not all! It can only be said that what happened to you is the reason why the publishing house is willing to pay such high royalties on you! Otherwise, even if you are a newcomer, you will not be able to get such a high royalty even if you write well! Hong Kong is a commercial society, and they will not do anything without profit! Shi Yuhuan said.

Wang Ming frowned tightly and said, "How to hype!" ”

Shi Yuhuan said: "I don't know about this, I need to listen to their arrangement!" We'll talk to them tomorrow, and you can ask specifically! ”

Wang Ming was very dissatisfied in his heart, but he told Shi Yuhuan everything, he came here, and he would talk about it tomorrow! After all, there is no hype mentioned in the contract, and you have to listen to what the publishing house means!

If Wang Ming is just a fiction writer and has to rely on writing and publishing books to eat, this is a good thing, book celebrities are also popular, and the next book can make money no matter how it is written!

But Wang Ming is not, he is not writing but plagiarizing, he wants to make money from this novel, not from this industry. If he really cooperated with the Hong Kong media, told what he had experienced, and hyped it up, his company would not have to be opened, and his company would be closed down before he could see the spring market.

Hong Kong people like to watch gossip, and they prefer to watch mainlanders make a fool of themselves, and the mainland government hates this kind of thing the most, that is, they are looking for death! Once you get on the blacklist of those bigwigs, you will wait for yourself to die, what else to do and what money to make!

The more Wang Ming thought about it, the more depressed he became, and came to the door next door and knocked on Shi Yuhuan's door.

"Come in and sit!" Shi Yuhuan wore a mask in pajamas and generously let Wang Ming in.

"Aunt Shi, there are some things I have to make clear in advance, I won't participate in the hype!" Wang Ming said.

Shi Yuhuan smiled and said, "Why don't you want to be famous?" As far as I know, young people want to be famous and become big stars, and this is a great opportunity! When you become popular, it will be much smoother to publish in Taiwan or Japan, which is why I chose Hong Kong to start! It's easy to make you popular here! ”

"I don't care if it's red or not, I won't cooperate with the hype anyway!" Wang Ming said.

Shi Yuhuan frowned and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Wang Ming said seriously: "I published this book to make money, not to be famous!" Even if I'm famous, I won't do it this way, and I won't hype up my experience! This is not in my interest! ”

Shi Yuhuan was no longer in the mood to make a mask, and looked at Wang Ming with a serious expression: "What interests do not match?" Publishing books is to make money, as long as you cooperate with the publishing house, your books will be popular, and they will sell well, isn't this the interest you want? ”

Wang Ming shook his head and said, "You may not know me well enough when you went last time!" The reason why I published a novel is because I don't have enough money to start a business! If you hype it up in the way of the publishing house, it will be me who will become popular and my book will be popular, but my company will be finished! ”

Shi Yuhuan said indifferently: "It's only a few dollars in your small Internet café, and if it's yellow, it's yellow!" As long as you become a popular writer with this hype, will you still be short of money? ”

Wang Ming shook his head and said, "Aunt Shi, how much do you think my Internet café is worth?" ”

Shi Yuhuan said casually: "Three or four hundred thousand!" ”

"Hehe, Aunt Shi, I have expanded my Internet café to ten chain stores now, and the investment alone is close to three million, and it is no surprise that I will inject 10 million into the meeting network next week!" Wang Ming said with a sneer.

Shi Yuhuan's face changed, and he said in disbelief: "What? ”

Wang Ming shook his head and said, "Auntie, when you went to Chunchang City last time, you didn't carefully look at my business, nor did you carefully understand me as a person!" If you don't believe it, you can ask Shi Xiaozhi if this is the case! In addition to meeting the Internet, I also have a computer company. I just bought a piece of land yesterday, took out a loan of 10 million to buy raw materials for equipment, and it will soon be put into production! ”

"Is this true?" Shi Yuhuan looked at Wang Ming in shock.

Wang Ming said: "I don't need to lie to you, these things are all there, if you don't believe it, you can let Shi Xiaozhi take a photo and send it to you!" Aunt Shi, I have so many businesses, all in the mainland, and now for the benefit of hundreds of thousands, let me hype up my own experience, do you think it is possible? ”

Shi Yuhuan couldn't stay calm anymore and looked at Wang Ming in amazement.

She understands what Wang Ming meant, such a big business depends on the mainland government to eat, and now you let him use the scandal in the mainland to hype, isn't that looking for death? It's ridiculous, I thought it was a good idea, Wang Ming couldn't wait to agree, but I didn't expect people to care at all.

Shi Yuhuan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through!" ”

"Nothing! I just want to make it clear to Aunt Shi that what I published was just a novel, not a betrayal of myself! I will never agree to hype! Wang Ming said.

Shi Yuhuan shook his head and said, "Looking at it this way, I have to choose a new publishing house!" It seems that this time you will run for nothing! ”

Wang Ming said suspiciously: "Aunt Shi, is it so difficult to publish?" ”

"Isn't it! In fact, your novel is favored by many publishers, and they are interested in publishing it, just because you are a newcomer, and the royalties are not high! I want the royalties to be higher! Shi Yuhuan said.

Wang Ming understood, it was still a matter of interests, she wanted to get higher benefits, so she delayed it for so long! Otherwise, with Shi Yuhuan's connections, there should have been news a long time ago!

"Who is the one with the highest royalties?" Wang Ming asked.

Shi Yuhuan said: "Pioneer Publishing House, this is the one we were going to sign a contract with!" They are an established publishing house with many hairstyle channels, and they are also one of the most hyped publishing houses, and many new writers in Hong Kong have made their debut here! ”

Wang Ming said: "What are other publishing houses like? ”

"Not high! There are more than seven or eight points, and there is no more in the high! Shi Yuhuan said.

Wang Ming bit his lip and said, "Aunt Shi can find a bigger publishing house, it doesn't matter if the royalty is low, as long as the number of first editions is high!" ”

Shi Yuhuan was a little hesitant, which would damage her interests.

Wang Ming knew what Shi Yuhuan was hesitating about, and released his chips: "Aunt Shi, it's not okay to be in such a stalemate, the reason why they refuse to give higher royalties is because this book has not been tested by the market, and what we need now is publishing, not endless negotiations!" ”

"This, okay!" Shi Yuhuan walked back and forth a few steps and said: "I know the vice president of Sanlian Publishing House, and I'm talking to them tomorrow!" ”

"Excuse me!" Wang Ming said.

Shi Yuhuan smiled bitterly and said, "It's nothing! ”

After sending Wang Ming away, Shi Yuhuan sat on the sofa depressedly and poured himself a glass of red wine. She never dreamed that Wang Ming would have such a big property, which is a bit illogical, he seems to have only dropped out of school for a month.

"Good daughter, mom has something to ask you!" Shi Yuhuan decided to ask her daughter.

Shi Xiaozhi said dissatisfiedly: "When you think of me when you have something, what is the matter?" ”

"It's about your senior!" Shi Yuhuan said.

"Senior, didn't he go to Hong Kong to look for you? Something happened to him? Shi Xiaozhi said nervously.

"Nope! I just want to ask Wang Ming how his business is, do you understand? Shi Yuhuan said.

Shi Xiaozhi frowned and said: "During this time, I was interning at the radio station, and I didn't go to the company much, so I don't know much!" However, we have invested in Internet cafes all over the university town, and I heard that the senior said that we will open 100 branches this year! ”

Shi Yuhuan gasped: "One hundred, does he have so many funds?" ”

"Then I don't know what to do! I think there is, I've heard them say that the senior's aunt is the mayor, and it seems to have helped him a lot! What do you ask these for! Shi Xiaozhi said.

"It's nothing, I'll hang up first!" Shi Yuhuan said.

Putting down the phone, Shi Yuhuan smiled bitterly, made a subjective mistake, and regarded him as an ordinary college student! If you think about it, you should understand that the person who can write such a novel will be an ordinary person?
