In the afternoon of the same day, Zheng Long received 700 yuan from Shi Yi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When he saw the account balance, Zheng Long thought that he had made a mistake, and checked it several times in front of the ATM machine, and provoked the people in the queue behind him to shout.

"What are you doing, will it be used!"

Zheng Long hurriedly returned the card, took out all the 700 yuan, and apologized to the crowd in line behind him embarrassedly as he walked.

"You actually called me 700..."

But after thinking about it, anyway, if I have to publish my work in a magazine for a long time in the future, the money is just an advance payment for the manuscript in advance.

Thinking about it like this, Zheng Long's mood calmed down a lot, and the guilt of borrowing money disappeared.

With 700 yuan in his hand, as if he had a huge amount of money in his hands, Zheng Long sighed that he was indeed a **silk life, even if he was reborn, he was still a thorough **silk mentally.

With the 700 yuan, he decided to buy a mobile phone.

It doesn't need to be too expensive, just be able to make a phone call, send a text message, and the key is to be able to communicate with the outside world in a timely manner. Moreover, the monthly phone bill should be as small as possible, so that he can afford it now.

He walked into a mobile phone store, where all kinds of mobile phones were available. Many of the eldest sons who have disappeared in 2016 are still in full swing at this time. Zheng Long didn't think much about it, so he used it

More than 200 yuan, bought the cheapest machine.

"Sir, do you want to take a look at our new model, which is the king of our series, only 1700 yuan, and you can also pay in installments, which is very practical." If you buy this hand

Machine, the girls at school are chasing you as you like! ”

A young man who sells mobile phones came over and introduced Zheng Long to many other mobile phones, the purpose of which was nothing more than to buy him a high-priced machine. In fact, those more expensive mobile phones are naturally more and more complete, but for Zheng Long now, many functions are gorgeous but not practical.

"Thanks, I've already chosen."

Zheng Long walked out of the store with the mobile phone he bought, and hurriedly called Shi Yi and asked her to contact her in the future.

Shi Yi was a little surprised, but quickly said yes.

"Sister Shi, why did you give me an extra 200 yuan?"

"Anyway, you have to write for our magazine, and it would be nice to deduct your salary in the future..."

Zheng Long said he was speechless...

Buckwheat and buckwheat have arrived at the door of the "Huaxia People's Publishing House".

Of course, in fact, this is not the real Huaxia People's Publishing House, but just a small private workshop selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.

It is not that all private publishing companies are unreliable, many private publishing companies in later generations, such as Motie, Guomai, etc., have adhered to the concept of conscientious publishing and made the publishing industry prosperous. But around 2001, the private publishing industry was still in a rather chaotic era, and competition was almost disorderly.

And Zhao Qingshan is just a small molecule in this market irregular molecule movement.

Even he didn't feel that he had done much evil. The evil that everyone is doing is not evil.

Therefore, when he stepped forward to greet the two buckwheat sisters, he did not feel anything wrong in his heart.

He thought about why Zheng Long wanted these two people to talk to him about publishing, it was just that children couldn't make up their minds and asked adults to handle it.

However, when he saw the two girls, the contempt in his heart increased a little.

One is just a little girl who has not dried up, and the other is a college girl who is ignorant of the world.

This time, the old man really wanted to cheat this money-making golden egg.

"Ah, here you are, sit down."

Zhao Qingshan welcomed the two into the company, asked the front desk to pour them tea, and the expression on his face showed a pleasant feeling as much as possible.

"Two girls, both from Jianfu Province?"

Buckwheat replied:

"We live in Kyoto, my sister is studying at Nortel, and I am in junior high school."

"Oh, that's a good idea, you can come to play often in the future, come to play often!"

Even if he showed a pleasant face as much as possible, Zhao Qingshan's expression was still slightly unnatural.

Sister Qiao Xue looked at Zhao Qingshan and said:

"I came here this time to talk to Mr. Zhao about the copyright of my brother's book. My younger brother is still young, and it is inconvenient for him to come in Jianfu Province. Besides, he didn't know the law as a child

Matter, I won't tell you, we are also afraid that he will suffer, so if his parents don't let us help him with the staff, don't you mind? ”

Zhao Qingshan didn't expect that these two seemingly weak girls would speak in an orderly manner, neither arrogant nor humble, which was really surprising.

"Understand and understand, after all, in our industry, ordinary people may not come into contact with it in their lifetime, and it is normal to be a little worried. But as you can see, we are the Huaxia People's Publishing House, at the national level

It is impossible for other large publishing houses to cheat you, please rest assured of this. ”

Zhao Qingshan took a sip of tea and continued:

"You see, our publishing house has published a lot of books, you can check them out."

After that, Zhao Qingshan walked into the manager's room, whispered a few words to Shangguan Mao, who was writing at the desk, and picked up a few books among the mountains of books piled up everywhere in the editorial department, and handed them to the two sisters.

"To be honest, we have published a lot of these books that can't be sold over the years, and the operation of the publishing house is also very difficult! So, when I first saw your brother's work published under the banyan tree, I was almost overjoyed! I have a hunch that this is a rare and good work, both the plot and the language are impeccable! I implore you to authorize the work to me, and I will definitely do my best to do a good job of this book, give it the best promotion and distribution channels, and use all the resources of our publishing house to create this book! ”

At this time, Shangguan Mao, who had been writing in the manager's room, also came out, held his big belly, and hurriedly said:

"You don't have to worry about this, you look at the decoration of our company, the strength of our company, there is no need to pit you! Our company is a subsidiary of Huaxia People's Publishing House, you don't need to worry about this at all! ”

To tell the truth, this Jincheng Publishing Company has really used some tricks, such as making a decent official website, which reads grandly - a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huaxia People's Publishing House... In 2001, there were not many companies with official websites, and Jincheng Company really made a certain amount of money.

Looking at Zhao Qingshan and Shangguan Mao's sincere eyes, Buck Xue almost believed his words... If it weren't for the fact that my sister Buckwheat had given herself a preventive shot before coming, I'm afraid I would have been deceived by this perfect acting skills!

At this time, buckwheat was sitting next to him without saying a word, sweating in his palms...

"Little sister, are you alright? Is it too hot in the room, should you turn down the air conditioner again? ”

Buckwheat hurriedly waved his left hand and said:

"No, no, I'm fine."

Zhao Qingshan said:

Without further ado, let's talk about cooperation in detail. Well, I'll show you the contract I've just drawn up, and if you don't have any opinions, I'll ask you to represent your brother on it

Sign it so we can start the next step of the process. ”

Buck Xue pretended to read carefully, but in fact, she had already swept one of the items on the contract at a glance.

"Mr. Zhao, in fact, I don't know much about the law, but I believe that a large publishing house like yours really doesn't need to lie to us poor people. I'm not very clear about this one, but what I'm saying here is that my brother has to hand over all the manuscripts to you first? ”

Before Zhao Qingshan could say anything, the chubby Shangguan Mao rushed to answer:

"This is natural, this is the rule of the industry, and it is not our family that does it."

When asked by Buck Snow, Zhao Qingshan's nose fluctuated slightly, but he soon regained his calm.

Hmph, fight with me, you're still too tender!

Buckwheat was a little puzzled, and whispered to Buckwheat again, and then replied to Zhao Qingshan:

"I'm really not sure about this, I'll have to discuss it with my brother. That way, we won't delay you too much and will get back to you soon. We'll call you tomorrow morning

Phone, if there are no problems, we will come to you tomorrow to sign the contract. ”

"Okay, okay, that's for the best!"

Behind Zhao Qingshan's smile, there was an inexplicable feeling of yin owl.

"However, you can't take the contract with you until you sign it."

Before sending the two sisters away, Zhao Qingshan added another sentence.
