Although he was finally pulled by Wang Conglun, Zhang Tan did not fight with Li Wei.

But Zhang Tan's anger in his stomach couldn't be suppressed, and Zhang Tan didn't care if the price was not negotiated, but the other party was really too deceitful, and it was just a few times to fool him with insulting prices, and the lion opened his mouth and asked for half of the royalties as a kickback. In the end, scolding him is not a thing.

This made Zhang Tan unbearable.

Growing up so big, he is not a person who can endure humiliation, even if the boss of the company dares to scold him, he dares to flip the table on the spot, not to mention the deputy director of a publishing house.

This breath is not out, and Zhang Tan's thoughts will never be understood.

What he believes in is not the way of a gentleman, not the god horse "A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late", let him know a truth, appeasement will raise adultery.

Li Wei is a person like this, the more you put up with him, the more rampant he becomes.

The publishing industry actually eats half of the kickbacks, and this kind of lion's open-mouthed attitude is definitely something that has been eaten and rebated I don't know how many times. As long as the newcomer is cowardly at the beginning, he will be eaten to death immediately, and then the nausea cycle continues, and the next time, this group of vampires will eat even more fiercely.

Therefore, Zhang Tan has always felt that people have to learn the villain's set.

"The villain takes revenge, day long".

If you dare to ask for kickbacks, I will dare to report it to you on the spot.

Timely elimination of evil is to promote good, dare to reach out and chop it on the spot, next time they reach out to weigh it carefully. Procrastination will only lead to worse and worse situations, how can there be so many situations of porcelain and blackmail in the future society, that is, the source did not stop at the beginning, and then the situation collapsed over time.

Zhang Tan doesn't want to admit it, and he doesn't want to have a drama of "becoming famous in the future, and then slapping his face", he just wants to have a good idea now.

In other words, Zhang Tan generally does not hold grudges, because if there is a grudge, he will revenge on the spot.

This time was no exception.

……

Looking at the leftovers on the table, Zhang Tan was silent.

Wang Conglun on the side was still saying words of relief: "Don't take it too seriously, people like Li Wei, if you don't cooperate with him, you won't cooperate with him, and it's ......the same if you change a publishing house."

What Wang Conglun was talking about, Zhang Tan didn't listen carefully.

He suddenly thought that at the dinner, Wang Conglun should be very familiar with these situations in the publishing industry. Thinking of this, Zhang Tan took a sip of the cold green pepper and asked, "Editor-in-chief Wang, Wuhan University Press, has a great influence in northern China, right?" ”

"That's it." Wang Conglun pondered for a moment and said, "Wuhan University Press is a national key university press directly under the Ministry of Education, and it is also the national publishing center for liberal arts textbooks in colleges and universities, and it has the publishing rights of many types of journals and works. Many small publishing houses in northern China are affiliated with Wuhan University Press. In the publishing industry in northern China, it does have a lot of influence. ”

"What about competition? Is there a publisher that can compete with it? ”

"There must be competition, and Wu Khan Publishing House is not much inferior to Wu Khan University Press, but Wu Khan Publishing House is mainly engaged in the publishing business of politics, economics and law, and the two businesses do not overlap too much. In particular, general publishing houses do not have much interest in publishing martial arts novels. ”

"In other words, that Li Wei really has the ability to let me be on Wu Khan's side, and no publishing house dares to help me publish a book?" Zhang Tan frowned.

"It's almost, but there are so many publishing houses in China, how long can he Li Wei stretch out. It's just that in the area of Wu Khan in the north of the country, he can interfere, and if he is out of Wu Khan, he has no choice. But then again, out of Wu Khan, or out of the north, there are fewer publishers that we have connections with "Ancient Legends", and there is no way to connect you with them, and it will be more difficult to publish. ”

After Wang Conglun finished speaking, he sighed, and was a little emotional about his failure to match.

Li Wei opened his mouth.

Zhang Tan also refused to admit defeat.

What the hell is this......

Immediately, he thought about it again, and said in his heart: "The plan to publish the book seems to be yellow, but it's okay, in the future, Zhang Tan will be relieved to write a manuscript on my "Ancient Legends: Martial Arts Edition", and he will be thinking about publishing a book all day long. It's good to be able to publish a traditional Chinese version, and it's enough to make more money than the average author. ”

Wang Conglun has a bit of a self-deprecating idea, Zhang Tan has no way of understanding, in fact, his current mood is not on publishing novels.

I'm delving into my own calculations.

Thoughtful thoughts flashed in his eyes, and Zhang Tan suddenly asked: "Wuhan University Press, it's not a monolith, there are always people who don't deal with Li Wei, he is just a deputy director, and it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand." ”

"That's for sure, there's a lot of struggle within the big publishing houses, but you shouldn't get your hopes up too much for publishing. Li Wei is the deputy director in charge of publishing, and his character may be poor, but his wrist is good, and others can't get involved. Wang Conglun mistakenly thought that Zhang Tan wanted to save the country.

"Always give it a try." Zhang Tan came to the spirit, "Editor-in-Chief Wang, since you are familiar with Wuhan University Press, help me introduce you." There are always people who don't like Li Wei, or other deputy directors who are staring at Li Wei's position, etc., I will think of a way from them, maybe it will be done. ”

Wang Conglun wanted to shake his head, but in the end he didn't refuse: "It's a bit difficult, but since you want to try it, I'll contact you." ”

Immediately, Wang Conglun took out his mobile phone, flipped out a number, and said to Zhang Tan while dialing: "The number I called is Zhao Shijie, deputy director of the office of Wuhan University Press. Zhao Shijie and Li Wei have fought before, but they did not win Li Wei, but Li Wei won disgracefully, and Zhao Shijie has been unconvinced. ”

The deputy director of the office of the publishing house, which is equivalent to the level of the head of the miscellaneous staff, belongs to the cold bench. Oil and water definitely can't be compared with publishing and distribution, it's no wonder that Zhao Shijie can be convinced.

Zhang Tan couldn't help but look forward to this Zhao Shijie a little more.

However, he didn't have much hope for the plan in his heart, Wu Khan was not his home field, he was a small author, he had no connections and no ability, and he wanted to deal with Li Wei, which was a bit nonsense.

However, if you don't try it, Zhang Tan is unhappy.

……

For Wang Conglun's invitation, Zhao Shijie quickly agreed, he is a deputy director of the office who sits on a cold bench, and he really doesn't have many opportunities for dinner, and it is rare for someone to treat him, so there is no reason not to go.

That night, in a big hotel, Zhang Tan met Zhao Shijie.

Subsequently, the two sides got to know each other under the introduction of Wang Conglun.

Zhao Shijie is still very curious about Zhang Tan writing books at a young age. But when it came to publishing, Zhao Shijie could only shake his head and say that he couldn't help, which was not within his purview.

Zhang Tan was not disappointed at all about this result, and he asked Wang Conglun to contact Zhao Shijie, not for publication.

Zhao Shijie shook his head, he just smiled.

The meal was slowly eaten like this, and at the dinner table, although Zhao Shijie couldn't help, he still expressed his anger at Li Wei's moth, and helped scold for a while.

So Zhang Tan also scolded angrily for a while.

The existence of Li Wei, a person who everyone hates, somewhat warmed up the atmosphere of the dinner.

After eating, they politely exchanged phone numbers with each other and dispersed.

After Zhang Tan paid the bill, he expressed his gratitude to Wang Conglun, who was the matchmaker, and then politely rejected Wang Conglun's idea of arranging a hotel for him, and prepared to find a hotel to live in.

And after Wang Conglun left, Zhang Tan took out his mobile phone and called Zhao Shijie as soon as possible: "Hey, is it Director Zhao, I'm Xiao Zhang, Zhang Tan...... Hey, yes, that's right, I want to invite Director Zhao to have a cup of tea, Editor-in-Chief Wang was here just now, and I am embarrassed to say a few words...... It's not about publishing, it's something else...... Yes, yes, thank you Director Zhao for saving face. ”

successfully asked Zhao Shijie out, and Zhang Tan breathed a long sigh of relief.

I feel like I'm behaving like the villains on TV who are plotting behind their backs.

It's just that the villain on TV is dealing with the good guys, and he's ready to deal with a vampire who pretends to be a force.

"I don't know if this Zhao Shijie has the courage, if he has the courage, he will do it vigorously, and get Li Wei down in the dog day, and if he doesn't have the courage, he will ...... Write a report letter, disgusting and disgusting Li Wei. The publishing houses directly under the Ministry of Education have party committees and discipline inspection commissions, and I report it with my real name, so they should check it somehow......"
