Xia Anping was finally willing to give in. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, he was just willing, and he still didn't let go. Although he asked Zhao Yiming to put forward new conditions, it didn't really mean anything, because that didn't mean he would agree. The initiative of the matter is entirely his, as long as he feels that it is unacceptable, he can refuse.

And as soon as he said this, Zhao Yiming knew his thoughts.

People are close to each other, and Zhao Yiming's trust in all kinds of people is also different. If Zhao Yatong or He Yiyi said this to Zhao Yiming, he would definitely not have doubted it. But for an old fox like Xia Anping, Zhao Yiming can be said to be highly vigilant. He had to think carefully about every word of Xia Anping, in case Lao Xia gave him something.

You must know that today Zhao Yiming learned from Lu Zecheng: For publications published by Juvenile Weekly Magazine, the editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief have the right to give the author up to 15% of the royalty share.

In other words, Zhao Yiming was beaten by Xia Anping at Shen Pinghe's house last time.

However, Lao Xia asked him to propose new conditions, and he spoke directly.

"Grandpa Xia, I have no other requirements. As long as you increase my royalty share to 15% as well. ”

Because of the lower rank, Zhao Yiming didn't want to intrigue with Xia Anping at all. And a lot of things have happened today, and Zhao Yiming's mind has almost worn out. So he decided not to go around in circles.

Xia Anping heard Zhao Yiming's new condition, and said secretly: Your condition is really real. When the upper and lower lips touch, it will rise from 12% to 15%, which is a full quarter of the increase.

"Yiming, you should increase your royalty share, and I agree. But from 12% to 15%, you're going to have too much of an increase. "Xia Anping wants to bargain.

As the saying goes, ask for a price all over the sky, and pay back the money on the spot.

This made Zhao Yiming a little annoyed. I have always respected you, Lao Xia. Although most of it is for the sake of Lan Siyan's face, my respect is true. You've done me a great favor, but I've been paid very well. "Shonen Weekly" has doubled its sales, and I have a lot of credit for it.

I treat each other with sincerity like this, and you are still pit me in Shen Pinghe's house. I'll give you face, don't expose it, you're good, and you even bargain.

If I'm asking too much, you can bargain. But when it comes to publishing books, your publishing house must take the big head, and I, the author, can only take the small head. Now you don't want to forgive me for this little head, and you want to spare a little bit more.

It's tolerable, it's unbearable.

So he spoke again: "Grandpa Xia, it's easy to talk about other things." I won't give up any of this royalty share. ”

"Don't say you can't be the master like you did last time. Editor-in-Chief Lu told me that below 15%, including 15% of the royalty share, you can make a decision as editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief. Grandpa Xia, I'm young and don't read much, don't lie to me. ”

"This ...... That ......"

Xia Anping's embarrassed voice came from the other end of the phone. Zhao Yiming could imagine that Lao Xia's old face must be flushed now.

was exposed on the spot, and Xia Anping certainly felt a little embarrassed. But when it comes to blushing, Zhao Yiming is completely thinking too much. I want to make an old fox in his fifties, who has experienced countless ups and downs, and has exercised his face, blush. It is not impossible, but it is extremely unlikely.

After listening to Zhao Yiming, Xia Anping was embarrassed for a second or two. In addition to scolding Lu Zecheng in his heart for being a bastard and leaking military aircraft, is he considering whether to agree to Zhao Yiming's request on the donkey? Or pretend to be annoyed and angry, and put on a posture of 12% share, love to want, don't get out, and scare him?

Xia Anping was eager to exercise his authority as editor-in-chief. For so many years, he has scared many writers who have asked for a royalty increase. And for the most part, he is the winning side.

But is Zhao Yiming a person who can be frightened?

At Lan Siyan's birthday party, at Shen Pinghe's house. Xia Anping saw a Zhao Yiming who refused to admit defeat, a Zhao Yiming who despised authority.

So no matter how you analyze it, Xia Anping feels that there is little hope of success with this trick, and the possibility of bad dishes is very great.

If he did this, he would make Zhao Yiming angry. Not to mention the new novel, even "Phantom City" may be taken down from "Juvenile Weekly" by Zhao Yiming. Not to mention impossible, those old-fashioned writers may not be so ambitious. But Zhao Yiming is only sixteen years old, just the age of being high-spirited and ignoring the enthusiasm as soon as he is hot. Not to mention falling out with "Shonen Weekly", it is not surprising that he will do anything emotional.

And think about it from another angle. What if Zhao Yiming really fell out with "Juvenile Weekly". He is not afraid at all, with his reputation as Ange, he can still mix with a magazine and a publishing house. And "Juvenile Weekly" is likely to stink to the end, not to mention the loss, maybe it will be worn by its peers with a short-sighted, hard-hearted hat.

Thinking of that consequence, Xia Anping couldn't help but look away: It's too risky, I can't do this.

But just promised Zhao Yiming like this? He was not reconciled. 15% royalty share. Although he Lao Xia has this authority, he has never used it, which is one of the pride of his work.

He was very reluctant to agree to Zhao Yiming's 15% royalty share, and he was even more reluctant to fall out with Zhao Yiming.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xia Anping decided to try again, he planned to use his water mill kung fu, fight without breaking, and fight with Zhao Yiming well. Even if the final negotiation is 14%, it is not a victory.

"Yiming, ah......"

It's a pity that as soon as Zhao Yiming heard that he was going to make a tirade, he immediately rushed to say: "Grandpa Xia, I will never change this condition." And in the future, when my book is published, I will insist on this condition. Otherwise, I'd rather not publish this book! ”

In order to show his determination, Zhao Yiming simply gave the royalties of his later works.

Hearing Zhao Yiming's words, Xia Anping was depressed.

This kid is tough enough, it's completely the rhythm of sealing the door of the negotiation! Did he really make up his mind?

Xia Anping didn't realize this until now - he seemed to think badly. Zhao Yiming did not ask for a sky-high price, his offer was the reserve price.

Since 15% is Zhao Yiming's reserve price, it means that there is nothing to talk about except for agreeing or refusing.

Say yes or no?

"Yiming, to be honest, no writer has ever taken a 15% cut from me. If I promise you, it will set a precedent. First, he couldn't make up his mind, Xia Anping said in a deep voice: "In this way, you allow me to think about this matter." I'll get back to you in two days. ”

"Okay, you think about it slowly." Finally, there was no need to grind with Xia Anping, Zhao Yiming breathed a long sigh of relief. After hanging up the phone, he gave Ming Xiao and Zhao Yatong a thumbs up.

"Obviously, you're happy early. Didn't the editor-in-chief Xia say that he still had to think about it? Ming Xiao saw him say this.

"Mom. You don't know the temper of this editor-in-chief Xia. Zhao Yiming explained with a smile: "His tone just now can be said to have agreed. said that he thought about it for two days, but he just gave himself a step. ”

Of course, Zhao Yiming's words are to make his mother happy. He didn't hear anything from Lao Xia's answer at all. Originally, Xia Anping was entangled.

It's just that Zhao Yiming is not worried that he will make the choice to refuse.

First, as I said before, without him Xia Butcher, does Zhao Yiming have to eat hairy pigs? This world is missing everyone who is missing, but Zhao Yiming is missing. Hehe, it's a big loss to the world.

Second, Lao Xia is also in his fifties, and the most important thing is reason. For the sake of a small amount of royalty a few points, it is better to give up larger profits. What is the difference between this and giving up an entire forest for the sake of a tree? Zhao Yiming didn't think Xia Anping was stupid.

"Don't be too happy, this matter is not settled for a day, and there will be a change of the day. Don't be happy and sad when the time comes. ”

"Yes, Mom, you are very educated. I'll pay attention. ”

Zhao Yiming had heard too much nagging today, and when he saw that his mother had turned on the nagging mode, he hurriedly softened, so as not to suffer another round of bombardment in his ears.

However, I was able to hide from my mother, but I didn't hide from my sister.

rushed home in the afternoon, received Lu Zecheng, and talked to Xia Anping on the phone, it was almost evening. Zhao Yatong no longer told Zhao Yiming about the publication of the book, but took Zhao Yiming to the kitchen. Ask the latter to teach her how to cook.

After listening to Zhao Yiming's song "Where Has Time Gone" yesterday. Zhao Yatong, who came home at noon today, went to the vegetable market to buy a lot of vegetables, planning to cook a touching family meal for her mother.

But Zhao Yatong's cooking level, anyone can despise her.

There is no distinction between white salt and sugar, and there is no doubt about the confusion between soy sauce and vinegar. The most bizarre thing is that no matter what color the ingredient is, she can always turn it black. And it's all black.

Of course, Zhao Yatong also knew her level, so she didn't hesitate to catch Zhao Yiming's strong man.

If she lets Zhao Yiming cook well, she can do it herself. She had to get started. As a result, this dinner made Zhao Yiming more painful than cooking ten meals. Zhao Yatong is definitely not a side effect, but a super side effect.

However, when the meal was served and saw the smiles on the faces of the elder sister and mother, Zhao Yiming finally felt a little worth the fare. But after dinner, Zhao Yiming's face became bitter again. The old lady actually gave herself the task of washing dishes on the grounds that she made dinner.

Did she make dinner? Still unreasonable? Zhao Yiming fell in the stomach. But in order to prevent himself from being **** by the iron fist of the old lady, Zhao Yiming had no choice but to follow his life with tears. He was busy until more than 8 o'clock in the evening, and he ended his busy day.

took a shower, returned to his room, locked the door, and threw himself into the bed after eight days of absence. After a tumultuous and wonderful day, at this time, he had time to sort out everything that had happened since he was reborn.
