Chapter 063: My Young Master
(For the alliance leader Tianyi * plus more)
Zhao Yan didn't expect the audit results of Kyushu Reading to reply so quickly, he wrote a chapter manuscript in the afternoon, Zhao Yan went out for a walk after dinner, returned to the attic after dark, turned on the computer and logged in to the email address out of curiosity, what made him unbelievable was that the final review news of Kyushu Reading had actually come out.
Zhao Yan's first reaction was a liar!
I thought that the email address I voted for Kyushu to study was wrong, and someone was lying to his manuscript!
There are 7 new emails in the mailbox.
Six of them are replies from several publishers who submitted papers this afternoon, and the content of these six replies is much the same, to the effect: Thank you for your contributions! Your manuscript has been forwarded to the review editor, please be patient and wait for the review result.
The review deadline is marked at the end of these 6 letters, and the standard review period for fast review is 7 working days, and half a month for slow ones.
Kyushu Reading also sent such an email, and the review time marked at the end of the letter was obviously 15 working days, but as a result, less than 2 hours after this mailbox was sent to Zhao Yan's mailbox, and another email was sent that passed the review and could be published.
At the end of the email, the contact information was left, asking Zhao Yan to add the other party's joint signal as soon as possible.
"Grass! What's going on? ”
Seeing the content of the final review result email, Zhao Yan blurted out a foul word, scratched his head in disappointment, and didn't know whether to contact the other party or ignore it.
Such a fast review speed, Zhao Yan has never heard of, in his mind, Kyushu Reading is one of the few large publishing houses in China, and it is normal for the review speed to be very slow, usually only those small publishing houses in order to grab high-quality manuscripts will shorten the review time, but at least it will take about a week, and the review results will be issued in 2 hours? I guess no one will believe it.
At this time, Xiao Mengyue sent him a message on Lianxun.
Mengyue: "What are you doing?" ”
Zhao Yanzheng couldn't make up his mind, and saw Xiao Mengyue take the initiative to send a message to him, and he happened to tell her his troubles.
First of all, he sent a screenshot of the email content of Kyushu Reading to Xiao Mengyue, and then Zhao Yan said: "The manuscript I just submitted this afternoon, I just opened the computer and logged in to the mailbox, and I saw this reply, and it passed the review so quickly?" Do you think this will be true? That's too fast, isn't it? Has the editor of Kyushu Reading been waiting for my manuscript? ”
In the villa in Linjiang, Xiao Mengyue was also puzzled, she didn't believe that the review speed of Kyushu Reading would be so fast, or rather, as long as it was a normal person, she would doubt it.
After thinking about it, Xiao Mengyue replied to Zhao Yan: "You verify whether the email address of the submission is wrong, and then decide after verification!" ”
Zhao Yan's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: Yes! Why didn't I think of that?
slapped his head, Zhao Yan hurriedly logged on to the official website of Kyushu Reading, found the other party's submission email account in the submission area, and compared it with Kyushu Reading's reply to his email address, Zhao Yan was stunned, he compared it three or four times letter by letter, and it was all exactly the same.
Yan in Xicheng: "The address is right"
Yan Zaixi City: "How can it be the same?" ”
Zhao Yan, who was like in a dream, sent two messages to Xiao Mengyue one after another, revealing the disbelief in his heart.
In fact, when he searched and compared the email account of Kyushu Reading, Xiao Mengyue was also searching for comparison, and when Zhao Yan sent these two messages, the results of her comparison were exactly the same.
After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Mengyue suddenly smiled and replied to Zhao Yan: "In this way, don't add the other party's joint signal first, I'll help you negotiate the contract with them, and strive to help you negotiate a high price, if I help you negotiate, in case my side of the conversation collapses, you can also talk to the other party in person, and then you can apologize, what do you think?" ”
Zhao Yan looked at Xiao Mengyue's proposal, the corners of his mouth turned up and smiled, he understood what Xiao Mengyue meant, he had heard that when business negotiations were conducted, the boss generally did not go into battle directly, let his subordinates talk first, and his subordinates could open their mouths and negotiate the best, even if they couldn't negotiate, the boss would go into battle again, and say that his employees were not sensible and had problems with his work attitude.
Yan Zaixi City: "Okay! Then bother you! ”
Xiao Mengyue pursed her lips and smiled.
"Then I'll tell them I'm your agent?"
Zhao Yan: "Okay! ”
So, Xiao Mengyue began to add the other party's joint signal, but at this time, the other party was obviously off work and could not be contacted for the time being.
At almost 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, the other party passed Xiao Mengyue's friend verification and sent a message.
Pluto's voice, "Hello! You are the agent of Iwami, the author of "The Sword of Rebirth"??? ”
When Xiao Mengyue added his friend, she said in the verification message that she was Iwami's agent.
Pluto's story hit three question marks in a row, obviously feeling incredible, Iwami's author information is written on the 17-year-old, 17-year-old rookie author actually has an agent?
Xiao Mengyue was waiting for the other party's message in front of the computer after 8 o'clock today, and when she saw the question in the other party's first sentence, two pear vortices appeared on Xiao Mengyue's cheeks, and replied: "Yes! My young master handed over the submission to me! However, I have a question! Why is the review speed of your Kyushu reading so fast? Are you sure you're the editor of Kyushu Reading? ”
Pluto's telling: "Your young master??? The author of "Rebirth: Dacheng Sword" is your young master? Iwami's family is rich? ”
Xiao Mengyue covered her mouth with a jade hand and snickered, her two apricot eyes were laughing like a crescent moon, and she forced her laughter to hold back her laughter, Xiao Mengyue replied: "Of course! My young master doesn't have many hobbies, and he usually likes to write novels when he has nothing to do, what's the matter? Is there a problem? ”
In the office area on the 7th floor of Kyushu Reading Publishing House, a thin man about thirty years old put one hand on his forehead and complained speechlessly: "Dizzy!" It turned out to be a boring rich young master! I'm afraid I can't sign the thousand-word 80 given by Editor-in-Chief Zhou! ”
Although I already have a bad premonition in my heart, I still have to do the work.
Pluto's say, "No problem! ”
Pluto said: "I am indeed the editor of Kyushu Reading, if you don't believe me, you can call the consultation number on our official website to check my identity, if it is fake!" ”
Mengyue: "Well, I've checked it just now, so, let's talk about the contract now?" I'm going to go out to help my young master buy things soon, and I'm a little in a hurry, so let's hurry up and talk, okay? ”
In the office area on the 7th floor of the Kyushu Reading Publishing House, the emaciated man once again held his forehead with his hands.
Pluto's Voice: "Okay! We learned that your young master has published a well-selling "Full Moon Scimitar", so our editorial team has set a contract remuneration of 80 yuan for your young master's new book! If you think it's okay, I'll send you the electronic version of our contract now, and after you print it out, just ask your young master to sign it and send it to us! ”
80 thousand words?
Xiao Mengyue replied with a smile: "80 thousand words? Are you kidding? Do you want me to be scolded by the young master? No way! Absolutely not! ”
In the office area on the 7th floor of Kyushu Reading Publishing House, the thin man smiled bitterly and continued to type.
Pluto said, "Oh, how much do you say?" The signing price given by our editorial team is only 80 per thousand words, no matter how high it is, I need to ask the editor-in-chief, but if you ask the editor-in-chief, the editor-in-chief may cancel the contract, and our editor-in-chief is not very good-tempered! ”
Xiao Mengyue was unmoved, if it was Zhao Yan, she might be nervous, but she has a superior family background, is well-informed, and her mentality is much calmer than Zhao Yan, can such a little trick scare her?
Mengyue: "200 thousand words!" Minimum for the price! Our young master's last book is the sales champion of the newcomers and new books of the Ming Book Society in the same period! Our young master has proven his worth! Below this price, it is impossible for my young master to agree to sign a contract with you! Hurry up and ask your editor-in-chief! But be quick, I'm in a hurry! ”
In the office area on the 7th floor of Kyushu Reading Publishing House, the sales man smiled bitterly again, shook his head and replied: "200 thousand words is impossible!" However, since you insist, then I'll go and ask the editor-in-chief for you! However, I suggest that you don't get your hopes up, we have never talked about remuneration like this, and it is impossible for our editor-in-chief to agree to your price! ”
