Joint Publishing House, or Joint Publishing House, is one of the oldest publishing houses in China, and it is divided into three because of various factors, and the most famous is naturally Hong Kong Joint Publishing House, which is also one of the bookstores with the longest history and has always been engaged in publishing business.

After listening to Shi Yuhuan's description of Sanlian Publishing House, Wang Ming was moved that this is the publishing house he is looking for, with great fame, many channels and great influence, as long as it is an excellent novel, it will definitely not be buried.

"Aunt Shi, why didn't you choose to cooperate with them in the first place?" Wang Ming asked puzzled.

Shi Yuhuan frowned and said, "You will know the way when you get there, if it weren't for you, I would never have gone to see that guy!" ”

Wang Ming heard Shi Yuhuan's tone was not good, so he didn't ask, it seems that there is a story in it!

Seeing the fat man opposite, blinking non-stop triangular eyes, and almost drooling, Wang Ming finally understood why Shi Yuhuan didn't choose here! The lustful person Wang Ming has seen a lot, he is also a man, and when he saw Shi Yuhuan for the first time, he was also very moved, but he didn't show it so obviously, so he almost wrote on his face that I am interested in you.

"Yuhuan, I miss you to death!" The chubby man said.

"Liu Slender Man, if you don't want me to turn around and leave, put away your hateful face!" Shi Yuhuan said.

Wang Ming was a little surprised, Shi Yuhuan's words were unkind enough, and he didn't have a cooperative attitude at all. What surprised Wang Ming even more was that the fat man was not only not angry, but smiled even happier.

"Yuhuan, you can't go. When I heard that you were coming, I asked the secretary to order afternoon tea, and you must give face! The big fat man arched his hand.

Shi Yuhuan frowned and said, "Liu Slender Man, are you still finished!" Wang Ming, let me introduce to you, this is President Liu of Sanlian Publishing House! He is my old classmate, he came to Hong Kong after graduating from university, and he mixed well! It's just that this face has never changed! ”

Wang Ming stretched out his hand and said, "Hello President Liu!" ”

"Wang Ming, hello! I read your masterpiece last night, and it's really very well written, and it's a rare masterpiece in the suspense detective genre! Liu Shouzi said.

Wang Ming was not modest: "Xie Lu Xie praises, I also think my work is very good!" ”

Liu Shouzi was stunned for a moment, and then Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed: "I have self-confidence, I haven't seen such a confident author for many years!" Yuhuan, you dug up a treasure this time! ”

Shi Yuhuan said impatiently: "Liu Slender man, let's get down to business, you can give a few royalties!" ”

When it came to the topic, the fat man stopped laughing, but squinted his triangular eyes and said: "The work is very good, but the author is a newcomer, and it is difficult to give too high royalties!" ”

"Liu Thinzi, whether the work sells well or not has nothing to do with whether it is a newcomer or not!" Shi Yuhuan said.

Liu Slender shook his head and said, "If it really doesn't matter, you won't come to me!" As far as I know, Pioneer Publishing has a lot of interest in this book, and the royalties are very high! ”

Shi Yuhuan looked at Liu Shouzi unexpectedly and said, "Do you know the way?" ”

"Of course! Hong Kong is not the mainland, just such a shop place, there is a wind and grass everyone knows! To be honest, this book is very well written and has a lot of potential for publication, but newcomers are newcomers, and this is something that can't be changed! A work that has not been tested by the market, no matter how good it is, it is useless! When Huang Yi was not famous, no one read the things he wrote, let alone a niche book like detective suspense! Liu Slender said with emotion: "Yuhuan, you shouldn't understand this truth!" ”

Shi Yuhuan said with a displeased expression: "What do you mean by saying so much!" ”

"I'm just letting you know my difficulties, after all, publishing this book is a certain risk! But for the sake of Yuhuan, I will leave this book, and the royalties will be eight points! Liu Shouzi said.

Shi Yuhuan glared at Liu Shouzi fiercely and said, "Eight points are up to you!" If I publish it at eight o'clock, why should I stay in Hong Kong for so long, and why should I look for you! ”

Liu Shouzi said helplessly: "Yuhuan, it's not that I don't give you face, but the times are different!" The mainland is lagging behind Hong Kong, and it is not deeply felt! Nowadays, many people in Hong Kong use the computer to read books, and they don't have to spend money to buy books, and there are fewer and fewer people who buy books, so I really have to take a big risk! ”

"Ten points! Liu Shouzi, you know how much potential this book has, and you have a good chance of winning the Silver Dagger General organized by the British Criminal Society! Don't you feel sorry for such a book with potential, if you give me eight points? Shi Yuhuan said.

Listening to the two arguing there, Wang Ming was very impatient, and couldn't help but say: "President Liu, if you agree to the nine points, I will publish it, and if you don't agree, forget it!" ”

The room fell silent, Shi Yuhuan pulled Wang Ming's hand hard and said, "Don't speak!" ”

Wang Ming shook his head and said, "Aunt Shi, this is my bottom line, if President Liu can't do it, I can only say sorry!" ”

Liu Slender laughed: "Yuhuan, you little friend is not very obedient!" ”

Shi Yuhuan said in a low voice: "Don't offend him, Hong Kong Sanlian Publishing House has a lot of influence!" ”

Wang Ming ignored Shi Yuhuan's advice, looked directly at the big fat man opposite, and said: "I believe that President Liu read this book long before we contacted you, as you said, Hong Kong is so big, you should know the royalties given by other publishing houses!" Pioneer Publishing House is willing to give twelve points, it is definitely not a wantless to give, if President Liu can't agree to my request, I can only choose to change places! ”

Liu Shouzi looked at Wang Ming's eyes seriously, guessing whether what he said was true or false, he couldn't see a little weak expression in it, he was very firm, and he laughed for a long time: "Isn't it just a point, why make a fuss, nine points is nine points, it's so decided!" I'm going to prepare the contract! ”

Waiting for Liu Slender to leave the office, Shi Yuhuan glared at Wang Ming and said, "You are too reckless!" What if he really wants to reject you? ”

Wang Ming said indifferently: "It's a big deal to change a publishing house!" ”

Shi Yuhuan shook his head and said, "You don't understand! Sanlian Publishing House has a very strong influence in Hong Kong, if you really offend them, they will ban you! Once such a rumor spreads, no publishing house wants to offend them. ”

"Aren't they competitors?" Wang Ming said.

Shi Yuhuan said: "Competitors are competitors, and they are also in the same front!" Publishing houses will always squeeze authors, otherwise what else do they rely on to make a profit! Don't be so reckless next time, Liu Slender is not a good talker, and this is also for my sake! ”

"Aunt Shi, what do you call him Liu Thin, he is obviously very fat!" Wang Ming was puzzled.

Shi Yuhuan said with a smile: "When I was in school, he was the thinnest one in our class, and we all called him Liu Thinzi!" I didn't expect that after 20 years, he became so fat that he couldn't change it even if he got used to it! Don't underestimate him, he is very capable, but he is more colorful! ”

Wang Ming laughed: "You can see it!" ”

Shi Yuhuan shook his head and said, "You don't understand, he is not a matter of being lustful, and he is also very bold." This is Hong Kong, his home turf, we are not familiar with the place or be careful! ”

Wang Ming said: "Will there be a problem? ”

Shi Yuhuan frowned and said, "It's hard to say! The last time I met him was a few years ago, and I was very happy to go out to eat, drink and sing K together! It didn't feel right at the time, so I kept a hand, otherwise it wouldn't have been a good night! The dead thin man has been in the world of flowers for a long time, and he is very bold, in short, if he doesn't fall out of the world to eat, you can help me block the wine! If it weren't for your publication, I wouldn't have come to meet this guy! ”

Wang Ming snorted, this big fat man looks harmless to humans and animals, I can't imagine that he is so bold! Sure enough, people can't be good-looking, and it's not surprising if you think about it carefully, when you see your dream lover when you are a student, you will always have some ideas. It's just that some people think about it in their hearts, and this fat man dares to put it into action.

"Yuhuan, this is the contract, you see if there is a problem!" Liu Shouzi took the two contracts that had been prepared and returned to the office!

Shi Yuhuan took it, and after reading them one by one, he shook his head at Wang Ming and signaled that he could sign! Wang Ming checked it carefully before signing his name on the contract.

The cooperation was reached, and it could be seen that Liu Shouzi was also very happy: "Yuhuan, this is the first time we have cooperated, we must celebrate well!" The restaurant has already been booked, please! ”

Shi Yuhuan said: "Another day, after a busy morning, I want to go back to the hotel to rest!" ”

Liu Shouzi's face trembled: "Yuhuan, the hotel I booked is not an ordinary place, many celebrities are frequent visitors there!" I was rumored that Liu Tianwang will go today! ”

Shi Yuhuan's body that had already turned around turned back, and said with some excitement: "Will Liu Dehua go?" ”

"Hmmm! I finally got it in the book, and the typhoon shelter was happy. I remember the last time you visited, you said that it was a pity that you didn't see him, and this is a great opportunity! Liu's thin flesh trembled more and more.

Shi Yuhuan bit her lip, afternoon tea is not evening, and Wang Ming is by her side, what is she afraid of: "Okay, if you lie to me, see how I clean you up!" ”

"Ha Lu Ha, how dare I! That's it, let's go! Liu Shouzi said.

Sitting in the car, Wang Ming said in a low voice: "Aunt Shi, I didn't expect you to like to chase stars!" ”

Shi Yuhuan blushed and said: "It's not chasing stars, I just like Liu Dehua very much, he is my idol!" A few years ago, when I came to Hong Kong, it was when the Four Heavenly Kings were in full swing, but unfortunately I didn't find the opportunity! I didn't think there would be a chance this time! ”

Wang Ming was puzzled and said: "If you want to see me buy concert tickets, why is it so troublesome?" ”

"That's different! What you see at the concert is a star, not a person! What I want to see is Liu Dehua, hey, he hasn't been married for so many years, I don't know how Lu Dao came over! Shi Yuhuan said.

Wang Ming blurted out: "Who said he wasn't married!" ”

Shi Yuhuan said: "Of course he is not married, not even a girlfriend!" ”

"Auntie, you are such a big person, don't you even believe this kind of thing! Cheng Long also said that he was not married, and his children were in their teens! Wang Ming said.

Shi Yuhuan frowned and said, "That's different!" ”

"What's the difference between being all stars! It's just that one is a kung fu star who is not afraid of being discovered, and the other is an idol star who is afraid to be discovered! Auntie, Liu Dehua has already had a girlfriend and is still living together, but it hasn't been made public! Wang Ming shook his head, he never thought that people of Shi Yuhuan's age would chase stars, thinking about it in his previous life, it seems true that Liu Dehua has been killed from his teens to his forties!

"Don't talk nonsense!" Shi Yuhuan said a little angrily.

Wang Ming was completely speechless, this is a woman, always emotionally over rational!

Typhoon shelter cuisine is a very famous cuisine in Hong Kong, and the place they went to today is Xi Kee, and it is also one of the hotels with the highest haunting rate of many Hong Kong celebrities, it is precisely because of hearing the name of this hotel that Shi Yuhuan can't resist the temptation!
