Chapter 58: It's Too Bad [Second Update]
"I'll pay 200,000 yuan, Wen Xun, you give me this book to publish. This is the royalty money paid to you in advance, more will not be refunded, less will be compensated! If the manuscript fee you deserve in the end is less than 200,000, then you don't need to refund me the difference, if it exceeds 200,000, I will make up the difference! After Lan Yang entered the conference room, he said directly.
His words directly stopped all his peers! You know, other peers came over just to take orders from the peak. In their eyes, Wen Xun is a little kid who doesn't know anything, and with a royalty of 7% lower than the industry standard, he can make Wen Xun, a poor student in a mountain village who has never seen anything in the world and no money, write his name on the contract.
They never thought that someone would take out 200,000 yuan in one go to sign a fledgling little brat! They were even speechless in surprise, they just looked at Lan Yang who was talking stupidly. At this time, Lan Yang, who had finished speaking, stepped forward, took out a check from his arms, and put it in front of Wen Xun neatly. Then he took out the contract in duplicate from his briefcase and put it in front of Wen Xun.
"This is a check for 200,000, if you are satisfied, please sign it. If you are not satisfied, we can negotiate the price. Lan Yang said.
When his words came out, I only heard the sound of gasping in the whole conference room! "What? 200,000 is not enough? Can we talk about it again? "Crazy, just crazy!" "Is it someone from Yuqing? How can anyone over there be an editor now? "Didn't I hear that Yuqing's publishing house is so rich?" ……
Bursts of sarcastic laughter came out, as if everyone thought that Lan Yang was crazy, and after doing so, he returned to the publishing house and waited to be fired. At this time, Lan Yang didn't even look back at these people, he looked at Wen Xun with a smile on his face, and his glasses were full of tenacity and trust.
Lan Yang looked at Wen Xun with a momentum similar to a horizontal eyebrow and a cold finger to a thousand people, his eyes were full of trust in Wen Xun and hope for the future. "Come on, sign your name, and we'll both make a big show together." He said.
I have to say that such an aura is definitely a mess that can move ordinary people, at least Lu Yuqing was moved. She bumped Wen Xun lightly with surprise in her eyes, and motioned for him to hurry up and agree. But at this time, Wen Xun kept looking Lan Yang up and down with his eyes, as if he was not moved at all.
"I'm seven, you're three?" Wen Xun, who was looking at Lan Yang, suddenly proposed. These words are too big for the lion to speak, and it directly shocked the audience stupid! What the? There was just a madman, and now there's another madman here? One said to buy out 200,000 yuan, and the other said to ask for seventy-three points?
Even Lan Yang was frightened by the ambition of hearing the news at this time! He didn't know how to answer Wen Xun at this time. At this time, Wen Xun didn't seem to realize what he had just said, he still looked at the expression on Lan Yang's face curiously, as if there was a flower on Lan Yang's face.
It turned out that when he heard the news and suddenly heard Lan Yang say that he wanted to give him 200,000 yuan, what he thought of after a short shock was such a question - "Where did Lan Yang get so much money for him?" Is your book really worth 200,000? Can we talk about it again? Is Lanyang's expected total profit higher? So out of the idea of wanting to find out the details of the other party, Wen Xuncai Super Lion opened his mouth and said seventy-three.
In fact, Wen Xun himself had no idea that the publisher's practice was to give 8% of the royalties to newcomers and 10% to well-known authors. He just relied on the experience of fighting with his fellow villagers in the mountain village, and with his instinct like a beast, he saw an animal that seemed to listen to weakness, so he bullied it a little to see where the other party's bottom line was, and whether it was really easy to bully......
Lan Yang thought hard for a long time at this time, and finally gritted his back molars and said: "250,000, more will not be refunded, less will be supplemented, and the final price will be paid." ”
"400,000, more will not be refunded, less will be supplemented, and I will give priority to you next time." Wen Xun looked at Lan Yang like a curious baby and said.
"......" Lan Yang felt like he was about to vomit blood at this time! You know, although it seems that he earns a lot, the tens of thousands of dollars to buy the book number are for him! The printing cost is for him! Even the channels for contacting the bookstore and the like, he ran it! If the cost is all out of him, how much of the profit will be shared by Wen Xun, isn't it a part-time job for Wen Xun? "300,000, the final offer, if it doesn't work, even if it doesn't work, there won't be more than a penny......"
"Well...... Don't rush to sign a contract first, let's tentatively set up the intention of cooperation first, I'm a little sleepy now, let me take a nap, think about it, and then talk to Editor Lan, do you think it's okay? Wen Xun suddenly thought of a bad note, who let him, a bastard who pretends to be a good boy, has the ability to cheat in the future in a dream.
Although he was a little puzzled, Lan Yang nodded and agreed to Wen Xun's request. So, he saw Wen Xun shyly smile at him, as if he was full of embarrassment and walked out of the conference room. "Hey, although the bargaining is fierce, but no matter what, he is still a good boy......" Lan Yang said with emotion.
What he didn't know was that Wen Xun, who came out of the conference room, walked towards the room while whistling. At this time, he wanted to praise himself well, praising himself for being too bad. He can go to the dream to explore the details of Lan Yang, and then see if there is a better way to bargain with Lan Yang......
This is simply too bad! How could he have such a strange and bad ability to come out? It's so upset. But there is no way, probably because his life before hearing the news was too miserable, God can't stand it, and he feels that he has to give Wen Xun some strange ability, so that he can feel at ease.
"In this way, I can sleep in the middle of any negotiations in the future...... Hmm, is Wen Xun, a sleep negotiator who likes to sleep and think halfway? Haha......" While whistling, Wen Xun thought with a snicker.
Back in the hotel room, Wen Xun lay on the bed, and suddenly thought of Zhang Lei's kid. "I don't know how Zhang Lei is now, is it very uncomfortable to be tortured by the people?" Wen Xun won the first prize, and there was a possibility of being drugged, so he asked the school for leave and went back late. Now Zhang Lei and the others should have arrived at the school and are ready to start their busy study and life......
Just like Wen Xun thought, Zhang Lei was indeed very, very unhappy at this time. He originally won the second prize in the New Language Essay Competition, and after returning to school, he should have been praised well. But now that he was suspected of drugging Wen Xun, the school directly ignored him as a murder suspect......
In Japanese corporate parlance, Zhang Lei was locked in the refrigerator - no one paid attention to him, everyone seemed to have not seen him...... No, everyone hated him, everyone saw him as if they saw a mouse, and walked away with disgust, as if they would be drugged by Zhang Lei if they got close to him!
The teachers are like that, and so are the students. The teachers saw Zhang Lei as if they didn't see it, and they never called Zhang Lei's name in class. They knew that Li Yiwen was investigated and accepted money from several students' parents because of her previous favoritism towards Zhang Lei, so she was taken away by the public security organs. Legend has it that the person who sent the money should have Zhang Lei's family in his family. In this way, the teachers have regarded Zhang Lei as a disaster, and when they see Zhang Lei, they don't seem to see it, and they will skip Zhang Lei's name in the roll call......
And the students are even more excessive, Zhang Lei is disgusted and ignored by everyone, and the most hated thing is that every day someone deliberately mentions the gamble he had with Wen Xun near him! What "Cut, some people, willing to gamble and not admit defeat, obviously said who loses and who leaves school, but some people, now they are still cheeky in school, I really don't know how embarrassed he is......"
Zhang Lei would get angry when he heard this once or twice, but after many times, he felt so angry that he didn't even have the urge to lose his temper! He felt that he was rejected by everyone, he felt that he could no longer pretend to be forced in the future, and he could no longer get the surprised eyes of boys and girls through all kinds of language, and no one would look at him again......
He really wanted to transfer......
