Chapter 51: The Calm Before the Storm
"Wonderful, I'm curious, why did you choose Streamer Publishing House, you must know that Streamer Publishing House is only second-rate in Linshi." Editor-in-Chief Liu asked curiously.
When Tang Xuan heard this, he spread his hands helplessly, and did not hide it, and said: "Maybe the other party thinks that there are not many more books, and there are many less books." ”
Editor-in-chief Liu heard this, laughed, and also had an experience of the first-class publishing house in Linshi, among which there are countless authors trained by himself, and it is normal to look down on other people's contributions, but this time the other party must have miscalculated, the publication of this book can definitely cause a sensation, and at that time, it is also possible for Streamer Publishing House to become a first-class publishing house in Linshi.
Editor-in-Chief Liu can think of the fact that after the release of "Shooting the Condor", those publishing houses regretted it and had to sign him.
"Mr. Tang, to get back to the point, I value this novel very much, and I intend to give two ways to cooperate." Editor-in-chief Liu said.
"The first type is bought out by Streamer Publishing House at a price of 200 per thousand words, and the second type is calculated according to royalties and settled according to 8% after tax."
When Tang Xuan heard this, he immediately said: "This is impossible, I believe that the eyes of Editor-in-Chief Liu can also see the difference in "Shooting the Condor", even if it enters the bestseller, it is not a problem." ”
Editor-in-Chief Liu nodded and said: "You're right, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is very different from the martial arts novels on the market today, but this does not mean that it can cater to the market, and even if the final sales are me, I can't be sure." ”
"Mr. Tang, it is very fair that the company can give a price of 200 for 1,000 words, after all, Tang Xuansheng is still a newcomer." Editor-in-chief Liu said.
Tang Xuan did not deny the words of Editor-in-Chief Liu, yes, two hundred words per thousand words is already a very high price for other authors, but he can't pay in this way, he believes that the charm of "Shooting the Condor" can definitely sell well.
"Editor-in-Chief Liu, since you are worried that "Shooting the Condor" will not be able to cater to the market, how about we change the way?" Tang Xuan said with a smile.
"In what way?"
"Pay according to the sales volume, for example, if you sell 100,000 copies, I don't want a penny, sell 200,000 copies, according to 10 percent, 500,000 copies, according to 20 percent, if you sell 1 million copies, 25 percent! And so on, but I have one request! Tang Xuan said.
When Editor-in-Chief Liu heard this, he looked at Tang Xuan in surprise, the current novel market is very sluggish, and if he can sell 100,000 copies, he can already be regarded as a best-selling novel, but Tang Xuan doesn't want a penny, has such a big confidence?
Editor-in-Chief Liu thought about it, this was originally a fantasy thing, but it made him hesitate a little, could it be that he looked away, this novel can not only sell well, but also sell well?
"What requirements?" Editor-in-Chief Liu asked.
"I heard that Streamer Publishing House has another industry, Streamer Daily, and I hope to publish the content of the novel in the newspaper tomorrow." Tang Xuan opened his mouth and said.
Editor-in-Chief Liu glanced at Tang Xuan strangely, he couldn't figure out why it was published in the newspaper, and the time was still so rushed.
In fact, Tang Xuan also wanted to take his time, but unfortunately there was not much time, so he could only use this method.
Although Editor-in-Chief Liu was puzzled, he didn't think much about it, Streamer Daily was dragging the publishing house back, and hearing Tang Xuan's words, maybe he could really use this novel to make Streamer Daily develop.
"It's one way, but it's too much time, isn't it?" Editor-in-chief Liu said.
Tang Xuan shook his head and said, "No, publishing some content in the newspaper every day can not only increase the sales of the newspaper, but also promote "Shooting the Condor", which is a business. ”
Editor-in-chief Liu thought about it, nodded and agreed, anyway, Streamer Daily loses money and makes money, it is better to promote this book more, and to become a first-class publishing house, it all depends on "Shooting the Condor".
"Happy working together!"
Tang Xuan also stretched out his hand and shook it, but he was relieved in his heart, he thought that Editor-in-Chief Liu would not agree, but he didn't expect the other party to be so happy, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.
It didn't take long for an editor to walk in with the contract, Tang Xuan also browsed carefully, and found that it was the same as what he said before, and he signed the name, and the book was divided according to the sales volume, so even after signing the contract, he would not get a penny.
Just after Tang Xuan signed, the sound of the system's improvement came from his ears, which made Tang Xuan's face happy, and sure enough, he could complete the task by signing a contract with the publishing house.
After signing the contract, Tang Xuan did not stay in the publishing house, and left the publishing house.
The most important thing now is to go home and upgrade your medical skills to level 5 first, as long as you reach level 5, you can solve my mother's terminal illness.
After Tang Xuan returned home non-stop, he came to the room and received the home where the task was completed.
"Raise the level of your medical skills."
"Upgrade successful, medical skill (level 5)."
In the blink of an eye, a stream of information appeared in the brain, compared to the fourth-level medical skills, the fifth-level is too redundant and huge, after receiving the information, the head also felt a little swollen and painful, and it took a while to relax and relax.
Tang Xuan, who was relieved, sat on the stool, thinking about the knowledge that suddenly came out of his mind, and now according to his medical skills, he has reached the peak realm, and he already has an eight-layer chance of curing his mother.
Even the illness left by He Lao decades ago has a seven-layer grasp. It's just that He Lao's illness doesn't seem to need him to treat it!
This trick is awesome to invite you into the urn!
At this time, Tang Xuan didn't dare to go to the military hospital, even if it wasn't for He Lao's treatment, he definitely couldn't go, otherwise it would definitely become a fuse and ignite the arrangements of the two parties.
Of course, according to Tang Xuan's guess, even if he wanted to go now, he couldn't go, if he guessed correctly, Tang Xuan would be intercepted halfway.
He Lao's bureau has not yet been arranged, and no one is allowed to make trouble.
…………
Military hospital, senior ward.
Several middle-aged people stood in the ward, looking at the old man on the bed with some worry on their faces.
"Dad, isn't it risky to do this? It's better to ......" One of the middle-aged men with gray sideburns flashed a cold light and opened his mouth to suggest.
"Dad, what the eldest brother said is right, this time you came to the city in person, it was already very risky, why didn't you invite that person to Kyoto, didn't you fall into the other party's game?" Another thin middle-aged man standing next to him also spoke.
He Lao smiled slightly, his face was still as pale as ever, and judging from his complexion, it was obvious that he would not live long.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger. This is a great opportunity. He Lao said vicissitudes, but his eyes looked out the window.
"He Ying, He Jie, what are you worried about? The other party is a smart person who will know how to cooperate and does not need to worry about it. ”
When He Ying heard this, he thought about it, but he still felt a little unreliable.
"So what do we need to do?"
He Lao smiled slightly and said: "If it was that old guy, maybe I would still be worried, but Li Ze, the hair has not grown yet, don't take it to heart, Ji Xuan also deliberately went to test it once, the other party can't wait, it depends on whether you can catch the handle." ”
"In two days, two days at most...... This kid will come uninvited, this is the best opportunity, the other party really made a stinky move, and when the time comes, the city is also under control, and you will not be afraid of it. ”
"Two days?"
