It's not the first time Xu Qian has come to this place, but every time he comes here, he is still attracted by the quiet and elegant atmosphere here.

"Ding, knock."

The melodious sound of the guzheng sounded, and Xu Qian was quickly immersed in it.

About half an hour later, Liu Xiang also walked in, he saw Xu Qian from a distance, it was really Xu Qian's temperament was too unique, sitting there quietly, left behind and independent, like a proud green lotus, otherworldly.

"The prince came early."

Liu Xiang walked in and sat down, and then he was attracted by Xu Qian's appearance, his face was exquisite, without the slightest flaw, as if he had been built by skilled craftsmen, and what attracted him even more was his temperament, which was cold and chic.

"No wonder Xiao Xianrou is so popular now?" Liu Xiang thought secretly in his heart.

Suddenly, the corners of Liu Xiang's mouth crossed a strange arc: "I am not a nymphomaniac, but talking about work, and the most important thing is ......"

"Editor-in-chief Liu, hello."

As soon as Liu Xiang came, Xu Qian noticed it, he maintained the most basic politeness, got up and shook hands with Liu Xiang and saluted, in the process of getting up, he also noticed Liu Xiang's appearance, wearing a gray plaid robe, carrying a gray briefcase in his hand, looking very elegant, the only thing wrong is that his eyes are a little narrow.

After shaking hands and saluting, the two of them sat down together, and Liu Xiang said directly to the point: "Prince, I came to talk to you about the publication of "The First Close Contact" this time."

Xu Qian took a sip of coffee slowly, and then said, "May I ask what price your company is going to offer?"

Liu Xiang said: "The price code is naturally fair, how about 50 yuan for 1,000 words."

Xu Qian almost spit out the coffee in his mouth, he was really shocked by Liu Xiang's offer, 50 yuan for 1,000 words, and "The First Close Contact" is only 50,000 words, which means that Liu Xiang only wants to spend 2,500 yuan to buy the publishing rights of "The First Close Contact".

What can you do with 2,500 yuan? Maybe it's a month's salary for people in some areas, but it's too little for Xu Qian, and he can sell so much with a QQ name.

Xu Qian really doesn't care about money, but he doesn't want to be taken as a fool, you must know that this is "The First Close Contact", in another world, it is traditional Chinese, and simplified Chinese are all best-selling books, even in this world, its popularity on the Internet is very high.

The corners of Xu Qian's mouth moved slightly, and he looked at Liu Xiang with a smile and said, "Fifty yuan for a thousand words, is it even to buy other copyrights of my "First Close Contact"."

Liu Xiang said as a matter of course: "Of course."

Xu Qian looked at Liu Xiang directly like a fool, and he wanted to say, "Are you a fool?" "Why are you teasing me?"

However, he still restrained his feelings: "It seems that your company is not sincere."

"I really don't know what to do." Liu Xiang thought to himself, in his opinion, being able to publish "The First Close Contact" was already a great grace to Xu Qiantian.

In this world, because online literature has not yet been formalized, there is almost only one way for online books to get ahead, so the publishing editor-in-chief looks at online writers with a top-down attitude.

Liu Xiang said: "In fact, this price is already very fair to newcomers."

Xu Qian said: "But my book is called "The First Close Contact"."

"Of course I know that your book is called "The First Close Encounter", isn't it just a little bit of a big deal on the Internet? What's the big deal. ”

Liu Xiang said: "Although this book is very popular on the Internet, it has not been tested by the market after all."

Xu Qian said in a deep voice: "But my name is Xu Qian."

Liu Xiang was taken by Xu Qian's momentum for a while, and he couldn't help but think of a sentence: "Just because he is a prince, nothing is impossible in him."

However, he was soon annoyed by his behavior just now: "How about the prince with a hundred yuan for a thousand words?"

"A hundred yuan for a thousand words is a lot!"

If you have 100 yuan for 1,000 words, "The First Close Contact" can sell for 5,000 yuan.

In fact, even if it is a thousand words, what can it be? It only sold for 50,000 yuan, and "First Close Contact" couldn't sell for much money at all because the number of words was too small.

Liu Xiang naturally heard the mockery in Xu Qian's tone, and he said, "Prince, you must know that if your book is published by our publishing house, your fame will be beaten out."

Xu Qian said: "Since we can't talk about it, we won't talk about it."

Liu Xiang said: "Then what conditions do you want, prince?"

Xu Qian said: "I want to share according to the royalty, and it cannot be less than 10%."

This is Xu Qian's inner thoughts, the number of words in "The First Close Contact" is only 50,000 words, and it is impossible to make money if you count the money according to the number of words.

Since money cannot be calculated according to the number of words, there is only one way, and that is to stratify royalties, which are not a tax, but a form of payment, which refers to a certain monetary share that the copyright owner receives for the use of his work by others.

The royalty is calculated by multiplying the unit price of a book by a certain percentage and then by the number of book sales.

If it is stratified according to royalties, the number of words in "First Close Contact" will no longer be a shortcoming, because the royalty is linked to the author's popularity, the total category of the work and the number of prints, and has nothing to do with the number of words in the work.

Therefore, the royalty stratification is the most beneficial to Xu Qian, who clearly knows the sales potential of "First Close Contact".

"Hahaha!"

Liu Xiang laughed wildly, he seemed to have heard the biggest joke, that is, the person in front of him still wanted royalty stratification, which was simply wishful thinking.

The people who can stratify the royalties are those who are traditional writers, as well as youth idol writers, and those who have sales guarantees.

As for the prince, he is just a star, and he is almost far away in the field of writers......

What's more, he's not a writer yet, he's just an online writer, and it's a blessing for these people to be able to publish, and it's a pipe dream to want royalty tiering.

Xu Qian said: "I don't think it's funny."

Liu Xiang said: "Prince, you are really ambitious, although you are a star, but you are still a newcomer in the field of publishing, and to be a newcomer you must have the consciousness of a newcomer."

In Liu Xiang's heart, the prince is really too ignorant, in the past, those online writers heard that it was going to be published, so they hurriedly agreed no matter how much it cost, which was like he hated this and that.

"I really think that the star is amazing, and I have to be soft in front of me."

Xu Qian said: "Then what if I don't have this awareness?"

Liu Xiang spread his hands: "Then it's a pity, the cooperation between us is about to end."

"Actually, prince, don't think that the money is small, after all, we also want to publicize, and this is the first publication of your book, you don't have to mind the problem of money, and when the book is published and becomes famous, our company will definitely raise the price of the next book for you."

Xu Qian got up and left directly.

Liu Xiang looked at the back of Xu Qian's departure and muttered, "It's really rude, I didn't even say hello when I left."

At this time, Liu Xiang called Liu Haoran.

Liu Haoran said: "Uncle, how are you talking?"

Liu Xiang said: "I didn't talk about it, this person is so arrogant, he even wants royalty stratification, you say it's ridiculous?"

Liu Haoran said coldly: "It's funny."

Liu Xiang said: "Then what do we do next?"

Liu Haoran said coldly: "Blocked."

I can't help you in other fields, but you can't get 6 in the field of republishing.

"Blocked?"

Liu Xiang paused for a moment, and then said, "Okay block."

He had confirmed that his nephew seemed to be looking at the star named Prince very unpleasantly.
