Chapter 57 Platinum Royalty Agreement

"Hey, Vivi, I'm here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info”

hung up the phone to Li Wei, and Xiao Ling walked into the publishing house.

As the largest publishing house in Tanggu before, Tanggu culture is still very formal, as soon as Xiao Ling entered the door, he saw the front desk lady hanging up the phone and coming over.

"Hello, is this Mr. Xiao?"

"It's me."

"Bian Li is in a meeting, I'll take you to the lounge, please come with me."

Entering the lounge, the front desk made hot tea for Xiao Ling before leaving.

About half an hour later, there were trivial voices outside, and then two people were talking and laughing and pushed the door in, but they came to fetch water.

"I didn't expect her to have such a big background backstage."

"Hehe, there will be a good show to watch in the future, Lao Wang has become a deputy, Li Wei, who used to work under him, has become a boss, and it is strange that Lao Wang can be happy."

"Happy? Let's see, maybe we have to have a good fight in the middle, today Li Wei suddenly revealed that the background is better, but Lao Wang is not a vegetarian, he has worked in the publishing house for so many years, and the accumulated contacts are there, as long as Lao Wang exerts his strength, Li Wei will not be able to move an inch! ”

Xiao Lingyan's heart moved when he heard this, although the name Li Wei is popular, but in Tanggu culture, it is estimated that it refers to the girl he knows. What's wrong with her? Something amazing seems to have happened.

"Boss Xiao, you're here!"

The two were chatting happily, but they heard a cold voice behind them, and the two turned their heads to look, and happened to see Li Wei, the president of the publishing house, pacing into the lounge, and suddenly, the faces of the two people who were talking instantly collapsed.

However, Li Wei ignored the two, today is the first day she went to work after returning to Tanggu, and today, she got the equity authorization letter of Tanggu Culture and other certificates, and became the president of Tanggu Culture Publishing House.

So Li Wei knows how much impact this incident will have on other people, and she doesn't care about other people's opinions.

She walked up to Xiao Ling and said very enthusiastically, "Boss Xiao, let's go to my office first." ”

The entire Tanggu Culture Publishing House occupies a large area, but there are only three floors, Li Wei's office is at the highest, which is the largest and most luxurious, at the door, Xiao Ling saw the sign of "editor-in-chief".

Noticing Xiao Ling's gaze, Li Wei explained: "I just moved in today, so the brand hasn't been changed yet." ”

This sentence has no beginning and no end, if it weren't for Xiao Ling just listening to those two people, he wouldn't dare to imagine that the cashier of his Internet café has now transformed into the helmsman of a big publishing house.

"I haven't congratulated you yet, but I didn't expect you to jump from an ordinary editor to a president after three days of coming back."

Listening to Xiao Ling's words, Li Wei was dumbfounded: "Boss Xiao, what those two people said behind their backs is right, I just have a good father and a good mother to be the president." ”

But then, Li Wei looked at Xiao Ling with a serious face: "However, since I am the president, I will take responsibility, and I will seriously run this publishing house well, so that it can regain its glory, Boss Xiao, are you interested in becoming our platinum contract writer?" The first thing I did after the meeting was to get them to prepare a contract. ”

While talking, Li Wei picked up the landline phone in front of the stage and gave an order, and about three minutes later, someone sent in a neat contract.

Li Wei handed the contract to Xiao Ling and said: "There are two explanations written in this contract, you can choose one of them to sign with a tick, one is the entire buyout contract, 100 words per thousand, bind your pen name, if you publish it in the future, any book can get a buyout agreement not lower than this price, and the other is to share the cooperation agreement, directly give royalty remuneration, platinum-level royalty remuneration is 15%, the second is more flexible, and does not limit the pen name, but if a book cannot be popularized throughout the country, The remuneration received by the author will basically not exceed the remuneration for buying out. ”

As an online writer, Xiao Ling naturally knows what royalties are all about, it refers to the price of the book x the number of releases X the royalty rate, and the result is the author's remuneration, generally speaking, the circulation of regional publishing houses is between 30,000 and 100,000 copies, and the price of an ordinary novel is about 20 yuan, according to the maximum circulation, it is 100,000 times 20 times 15%, which is 32,000 yuan!

Even if the number of words is small, only more than 800,000 words of "I am the Grand Master", according to the buyout price, you can get up to 80,000 buyout remuneration, the gap between the two is naturally huge.

Of course, there is an advantage of royalty remuneration, that is, if the book is popular, the number of prints will increase, and the remuneration will naturally rise, and the publisher must pay the corresponding royalty remuneration for each subsequent reprint.

Xiao Ling is actually not entangled in these, he has absolute confidence in his novels, whether it is a buyout or royalties, there will be a suitable income.

"Hey, don't you need to review it again now? I've brought the manuscript with me today. ”

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Li Wei showed a look of surprise, the contract she gave was actually hoping to sign a contract with Xiao Ling, but she didn't expect to see Xiao Ling's works that had not been sorted out for a long time, which was too exciting.

Xiao Ling directly took out the "Novel Collection", unlocked it with his fingerprint, and handed it to Li Wei: "At present, two novels have been sorted out, both of which you have read, "I Am the Great Mage" and "How the Bad Guy is Made", the titles of the books are okay, there is no need to change them, if you sign a contract, I will choose the royalty remuneration." ”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, Li Wei frowned slightly, and said, "Please come in." ”

Immediately, a square-looking middle-aged man came in from outside the door, followed by a large group of people, glanced at Xiao Ling who was sitting on the sofa, and said with a smile:

"I heard that the president made a platinum contract on the first day of his tenure, so I came over to see if this is the talent that the president values?"

Li Wei didn't give the other party a good look, and said directly: "Wang Shouwen, now that you are still in the inspection period, I hope that you, the editor-in-chief, can take responsibility and deal with the editorial supervision first. ”

Wang Shouwen scolded his mother in his heart, although he knew Li Wei's background, but he never thought that Li Wei would be a threat in his heart, this little girl has been doing her own work quietly, without the slightest edge, but who would have thought that this time she came back from Xiaotang Town, everything has changed.
