Chapter Seventy-Four: Finalized

The sky brightened, the night had passed, Jiang Chen's sleepy eyes were hazy, and then he repeated the daily brushing of his teeth and face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Finally, I looked at the time, went out at nine o'clock, took a taxi, and then headed towards the new pavilion.

When it comes to the location, the new pavilion is actually a place similar to a park, but there are more pavilions.

When he arrived at the Xinlou Pavilion, it was already nine twenty-five, Jiang Chen glanced away, there was a man and a woman sitting in the pavilion, Jiang Chen didn't need to think about it, this should be the editor-in-chief of Pingxi Publishing House and the person who talked to him on the phone!

Sure enough, the woman greeted her and stretched out her hand, "Hello, I'm Cai Min, the editor-in-chief of Pingxi Publishing House." ”

Jiang Chen shook it, and between shaking hands with Cai Min, the tentacles were warm and lovely, but he immediately came back to his senses and said, "Thank you Editor-in-Chief Cai for your approval." ”

As the editor-in-chief of Pingxi Publishing House, one of the five giants in China, the other party can meet him in person, which shows his sincerity.

Cai Min was dressed in professional clothes and had a delicate face, and when Jiang Chen showed her face, she also showed a hint of surprise, "Standing at the forefront of fashion, Jiang Chen?" ”

For these women, they only pay attention to some fashion circles or court dramas, so Jiang Chen, as an upstart in the fashion circle in recent times, is naturally recognized by Cai Min.

Of course, the main thing is that you can never forget that appearance after watching it once.

Then, Cai Min also figured out everything, why her employees couldn't contact the supreme god in the online literature world, it turned out that the situation was here.

Thinking of this, Cai Min also glanced at Jiang Chen in a complicated way, this young man is really versatile......

Then Cai Min smiled slightly and said to Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, I want to confirm that there are no copyright disputes in these novels, right?" ”

Jiang Chen nodded and said: "This book is indeed written by me alone, and there is no plagiarism or infringement involved in it, and all the copyrights are also in my hands." ”

He added: "I can make this statement on the contract. I know that if there is an infringement or copyright dispute, it will be punished. ”

Cai Min's heart moved, he didn't expect Jiang Chen to speak with a sense of the overall situation, and there was a very reassuring feeling in his tone, and this was actually from the mouth of such a young man, which was really unexpected.

No wonder he can write such a martial arts novel, young and old, with an extraordinary bearing, no wonder he has to be simple.

Cai Min nodded: "Then I won't gossip much, in short, we in Pingxi Publishing House welcome you to join." Now let's get into the contract negotiation time, which is the publishing contract I have drawn up, and you can take a look at it first. ”

Jiang Chen took over the thick stack of contracts, because he had signed many contracts in the past six months, so he was very familiar with the contracts, so he began to browse them directly.

The other party's temperament and behavior are so capable and concise, so he is naturally not polite.

Then Jiang Chen noticed that the contract in Article 2 reads: "Party A shall pay the royalty to Party B within 30 days after receiving Party B's work, and the royalty shall be calculated as one hundred and fifty yuan per thousand words, and Party A shall withhold the tax according to law before the royalty is paid."

The following supplementary clause states that once Party B sells a total of 1 million copies, Party A shall reissue the 1 million copies of the royalties to Party B. Royalties for each episode are the book price multiplied by 10 percent multiplied by the actual number of copies sold, and are due within 30 days. Party A shall withhold tax according to law before payment. ”

Jiang Chen's brows furrowed slightly, and then he continued to browse.

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the copyright of this book was limited to Simplified Chinese, and that he did not buy out the author and the author's name, but only had priority over the author's future works.

That's what he has to insist on.

He already had a certain understanding of Pingxi Publishing House before he came, and when he saw the price just now, he thought that the other party was buying out his works. However, he didn't expect the other party to be so generous, and he couldn't help but have a question in his heart.

After all, he is just a newbie in the publishing industry, how can the other party offer such a lenient contract?

"How?" Cai Min looked at Jiang Chen, she wanted to see this little guy's ecstatic and completely out of shape. She thought it was going to be fun at that moment, right?

She felt that even if she was not ecstatic, Jiang Chen would definitely try her best to hide the surprise on her face, but she still had the kind of look that she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and it was this kind of contradictory conflict that would definitely make the expression on his face very exciting.

"The contract is very generous, and I have no reason not to sign it. But ......" Jiang Chen roughly finished reading it, knowing that there were no contract traps in it, he couldn't help but nodded.

Although he has absolute confidence in the novels of the martial arts masters in his previous life, Jiang Chen is relieved now, it is a good start to get such a contract, and his heart has begun to shine, and his chest is blazing.

It is precisely because he knows that these martial arts novels have been popular in his previous life and have been adapted countless TV series and movies, so he has the confidence that he has not changed color in the face of such a lucrative contract.

After all, according to this situation, the amount he got could be worth hundreds of millions!

And at this moment, when he saw Jiang Chen's indifferent appearance, Cai Min couldn't help but be stunned, the little guy in front of him was so calm, and it was that kind of unique calm temperament, which made people feel like spring, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

"This little guy ......" Cai Min thought to herself, but she didn't expect it to be like this, but she also felt that such a person would be a thing in the pool sooner or later.

However, Cai Min still couldn't help but say: "But what? This contract is already the best contract ever given, and it is almost impossible to sell more than a million copies now. ”

She felt that Jiang Chen was whimsical, or that she didn't understand the current publishing situation.

Jiang Chen said to Cai Min solemnly: "Editor-in-chief Cai, I have one condition. ”

"Please." Cai Min couldn't help but be a little curious.

"I want the royalty to be 15%." Jiang Chen stared at Cai Min's eyes tightly and said.

"It can't be!" At this time, Cai Min said calmly to Jiang Chen, "15% of the royalty is only available to top writers, and it is already unprecedented to get 10%, in general contracts, it is a one-time buyout!" ”

Moreover, at this time, Cai Min's face was slightly cold, "These royalties represent the value of the writer......"

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and said slowly, "If the first novel published first has less than one million sales, I would rather not even have a guaranteed 150 yuan per thousand words, is Editor-in-Chief Cai willing to make a bet with me?" ”

"Bet?" Cai Min's heart was shocked, it was like a huge wave, the young man in front of her was so confident in his works, and the kind of grace that he talked about even made her seem to see a writer who had been famous in China for decades.

Such courage came from the hands of a young man who was only in his early twenties, and it was impossible to believe it.

She could feel the huge ambition hidden in the delicate young man in front of her.
