Chapter 10: Trading
In the evening, Su Mo was resting on the sofa after dinner when her mobile phone rang.
"Hello, hello?"
"Hello, is it a tree man?" On the other end of the line was a man's voice.
Su Mo knew what was going on as soon as she heard her pen name, and said with a smile: "Exactly, you are from Wenhui Group!" ”
"Exactly, I am one of the editors of the "Hero Cup" essay contest, Mr. Shuren, I will call you that, your work has been favored by the editorial department, if you can, please come to our editorial office tomorrow morning, bring all the identity information, we can sign the contract after consultation, the address is the fifth floor of the Tomorrow Building, No. 89 Hezi Road, Dongxin District, the time is ten o'clock in the morning! ”
Su Mo replied: "I know, thank you"
"You're welcome, I hope you arrive on time tomorrow, goodbye"
"Goodbye"
Put down the phone, Su Mo's eyes were shining, the first step of the Great Wall has been taken, this world, I, Su Mo, are here!
Early the next morning, Su Mo rarely didn't sleep lazy, got up early, combed carefully, rummaged through the pile of clothes for a long time, and finally turned out a jacket and a set up, yes, a dog-like person.
Then with everything he had, he went out the door.
The East New District is far away, so Su Mo stopped a taxi and went straight to the destination.
When he arrived at the Tomorrow Building, the time was only nine o'clock, Su Mo was not in a hurry, he found a café nearby to have morning tea, and when the time was about the same, he walked into the Tomorrow Building and took the elevator to the fifth floor.
Tomorrow Building is one of the top ten super buildings in the magic capital, and Wenhui Group is also rich, but it can only rent a floor as the company's headquarters, as soon as the elevator door opens, a group of people walk out, and the last of them is Su Mo and a round-faced young man.
The two walked to the front desk, Su Mo had not yet spoken, and the round-faced young man next to him spoke: "Hello, where is the editorial office of "My Heroes"?" Have made an appointment to meet today."
"Me too" Su Mo said concisely, and the two glanced at each other.
The front desk smiled slightly: "May I ask the names of the two gentlemen?" ”
"Branches"
"Tree Man"
The front desk checked and confirmed that it was correct, and said with a smile: "Please come with me!" ”
Wenhui Group has a number of departments, there are a lot of people in the office area, at this time each performing its own duties, it seems very busy, under the guidance of the front desk, the two of them walked all the way, and finally came to an area in the corner, which is the editorial department of "Wu Xia".
It was the editor Xiao Sun who was the closest, and when she saw the guests coming, she took the initiative to stand up and entertain, Ding Qing saw that the round-faced young man looked ordinary, and the other had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and had an elegant temperament, somehow Xiao Sun thought of Gurung in the wind in Yushu, and couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said to Su Mo: "If my guess is right, you are Lianzhi!" ”
The round-faced young man's face changed slightly, but Su Mo was a little embarrassed, shook his hand gently, and replied, "I'm sorry, I'm a tree man."
"I'm Lianzhi!" The round-faced young man's tone was unhappy.
The scene suddenly froze a little, and then Lao He came over and teased: "Xiao Sun, you are just lazy, Lianzhi's real name is Zhao Le, but not long after he became a literary teacher, there is a photo of him on the official website of celebrities, and you are reluctant to check it?" Hehe, two, I'm He Shan, welcome to both of you! ”
"Yes, yes, my fault, please take a seat!" Xiao Sun hurriedly blamed himself.
The four of them were polite, and the editor Xiao Xiao came from outside, followed by a middle-aged man with a horse face, who was not smiling, and a pair of triangular eyes made him look a little gloomy, but Xiao Xiao did not dare to slack off at all, and spoke with a lovely smile.
This guy has such a big shelf!
Su Mo was puzzled in his heart, and the rest of the editorial department stood up to say hello, saying "Yin Wenjia!" ”
It turned out to be the southern martial arts writer, Yin Chang, the swordsman who drew the sword! The treatment of literati in this world is very high, and for literati with literary titles, ordinary people are generally called surnames plus literary titles, so swordsmen are respectfully called "Yin Wenjia".
According to the standards of the literati association and the celebrity system, the literati refers to the literati who have published several works and have more than one million fans on the official website, and their influence is quite large in a province, Su Mo and Lian Zhi did not dare to slack off, and also said hello, but Yin Chang didn't look at them at all, and said lightly: "Where is the editor-in-chief, take me to meet him!" ”
Xiao Yingnuo took Yin Chang directly to the editor-in-chief's office.
This person is so domineering, the literary master Zhao Le is really envious, jealous and hateful, secretly cheering in his heart, thinking that one day he will be so majestic, on the contrary, Su Mo is disdainful in his heart, Yin Chang's works he has read, the quality is acceptable, but compared with Master Jin, but Erer! How about watching him go crazy?
Next, Lao He and Xiao Sun each entertained their own authors, while waiting for Yin Chang to come out.
Lao He was a little surprised when he talked on the phone last night, and the voice of the tree man seemed very young, how did he know that it was really a little fresh meat, and he wanted to say that he didn't doubt that it was fake, but as soon as the two talked about shooting eagles, Lao He knew that this young man was definitely not fake, his conversation, his cultivation obviously did not match his age, how did Lao He know that Su Mo had already memorized the eagle shooting upside down, could he not be familiar?
After a while, Yin Chang came out with a little hesitation, and left without looking back, Xiao Xiao shook his head helplessly, according to the level of the text, but it was Zhao Le who wanted to go in first, he stood up, glanced at Su Mo proudly, and then walked in in a hurry.
Su Mo was stunned, has this product found a sense of existence in Lao Tzu?
It didn't take long for Zhao Le to come out, his face was flushed, his eyes were glowing green, he just didn't look up to the sky and howl, as if the spring season had arrived, which made Su Mo discuss, but when he saw Xia Qing, he knew how Zhao Le could be so unbearable.
It's really a dog, do you want so many beauties these days, even a martial arts editor-in-chief is a big beauty?!
Su Mo admired it for a moment, and then took the first step to speak: "Hello, I am Su Mo from the pen name Shuren!" ”
Out of politeness, Xia Qing stood up, the white rabbit on her chest shook clearly, and welcomed: "I'm Xia Qing, Mr. Su Mo, please take a seat!" ”
The two sat opposite each other, Xia Qing handed over a contract and said, "Mr. Su, take a look, if there is no problem, you can sign it!" ”
Also, Su Mo is just a newcomer, although he looks very energetic, but for Xia Qing, it is not worth talking too much nonsense.
Su Mo didn't mind, he took the contract and carefully reviewed it one by one, there was no problem in front of him, but he was dissatisfied with the treatment.
"Editor-in-chief Xia, the contract is not a big problem, but there is a small objection" Su Mo smiled.
"Mr. Su, please speak"
"According to the contract, the first 300,000 words of the long work were first serialized in the journal "Wu Xia", and finally everyone published a single book, and the early stage was a buyout, 30,000 yuan per person, I have no opinion, but the share of the single book, you give me 5%, it seems a little less!"
Xia Qing glanced at Su Mo and said with a smile: "Less? The Yin Wen family only took 12 percent of the share."
Su Mo felt the mockery in her tone, in this world, because the crackdown on piracy is extremely strict, the profit of a best-selling book is very high, and the treatment of the corresponding writer is also very high, generally speaking, the share of the writer is 20 to 25 percent, the share of the Wen Sect is 15 to 20 percent, the share of the Wen family is 10 to 15 percent, and the share of the writer is 5 to 10 percent, and the writer is cut, there is very little share, and it is all a buyout.
What Xia Qing means is that everyone else has only taken 12 percent, and you are a newcomer who has given you the treatment of a literary teacher, what do you want? !
But Su Mo only has his confidence, just kidding, Master Jin's classics are not as good as a writer, isn't this a shame for our traversers?
After a pause, Su Mo asked, "What is the highest sales volume of the Yin Wen family?" ”
Xia Qing was a little inexplicable, but she still replied accurately: "It's his "Heavenly Hell Knife", and the sales volume is 2.9 million copies!" ”
Su Mo nodded and said with a smile: "Let's make a deal, if the sales of my work reach more than three million when it is published, you will also give me a 12% share, if there is one less than 3 million, I will only take a 3% share!" What do you think? ”
Xia Qing was really shocked, re-examined the young man in front of her, and saw that under his bright eyes and bright teeth was a strong confidence that could not be concealed, she suddenly felt very interesting, and said with a smile:
"Interesting, good, deal!"
When Su Mo came out of the Tomorrow Building, the scorching sun was shining in the sky, he raised his head, and the strong light forced him to squint his eyes, Lao Jin, just look at how your works shine!
Then, he disappeared into the crowd and left.
