Ten minutes later, Pluto's narration sent another message to Xiao Mengyue.

Pluto said: "I just went to the editor-in-chief to help you fight for it, I helped you talk for a long time, and the editor-in-chief finally relented and added 20!" 120 thousand words! This time it's really the highest price! Please reply to me as soon as possible when you see the message! Sign or not sign a sentence! ”

Xiao Mengyue, who was revising Zhao Yan's draft, smiled after reading this message, closed the message dialog box, and did not reply immediately.

This morning, Pluto's complaint waited for Xiao Mengyue's reply while working, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting until more than ten o'clock in the morning, not to mention the depression in his heart.

In the past, he negotiated contracts with authors, which author had such a drag? Although every author wants to fight for a higher manuscript fee, they are afraid of offending him and causing the signing of the contract to be yellow.

(Well-known writers with big names and big tempers can't negotiate contracts with him.) ）

During the period of waiting for Xiao Mengyue's reply, Pluto's complaint also analyzed the reasons in his heart, Ishimi This author is a rich young master, and not lacking money is naturally an important reason, but according to his own analysis, another important reason should be that the message that passed this review was replied too quickly.

He thought to himself: If I were the author of this book and saw that a publishing house had given the manuscript a review in about two hours, I would ask for more manuscript fees.

Thinking about it, Pluto's statement felt that this was too bad!

However, he can't help it, Zhou Xiaoyun is the editor-in-chief of their group, and the editor-in-chief will sign the manuscript of the book as soon as possible.

Just when he was waiting more and more depressed, Xiao Mengyue finally replied to him.

Mengyue: "I just bought something for the young master and came back, so you waited for a long time, I also asked the young master by the way just now, and the young master said that less than 200 words per thousand words will not be considered!" Hehe, thank you for helping to fight for my young master at your editor-in-chief, but I still have to say sorry to you! I can only hope that there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future! Bye! ”

Pluto's patience was about to be exhausted, and he finally waited for Xiao Mengyue's reply, but this was the result, his patience was finally exhausted, and he thought: Count you ruthless! Anyway, the upper limit given by Editor-in-Chief Zhou is 150, and I will report it to you directly, if it really doesn't work, I won't continue to worry about it!

Thinking so in his heart, he said to Xiao Mengyue on Lianxun: "150 thousand words!" I just asked from the editor-in-chief about the upper limit, and if this doesn't work, I can only say sorry! ”

In the villa near the river in Xicheng, Xiao Mengyue smiled at the corner of her mouth again, and quickly won another game, as for what the other party said about 150 is the upper limit, she didn't believe it in her heart, so she ......

Mengyue: "I just said that my young master means less than 200 words per 1,000 words and doesn't take it into account, so, I'm sorry!" ”

This time, the other party's reply was much faster than Xiao Mengyue expected, and as soon as she made her stand on her side, Pluto's complaint was immediately replied.

"Got it! I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future! Bow! ”

Such a quick reply? Is 150 words really the upper limit?

Xiao Mengyue's brows furrowed slightly, and there was a look of doubt in her eyes, but thinking that the final review reply of other publishing houses submitted by Zhao Yan was still early, she relaxed her heart again, smiled and sent another wave of goodbye to the other party, and closed the chat box.

She decided to wait and see, if this time it was really the other party's upper limit, then in a short time, the other party would definitely not send her another message, otherwise, this person would definitely send her a message.

Now it's up to you to see who can't hold it first.

……

Just finished writing a chapter, Zhao Yan, who was correcting typos, suddenly received a message from Xiao Mengyue.

Mengyue: "The price over there has reached 150 per thousand words, but I refused again, depending on the other party's reaction, even if it can rise a little more, I am afraid that the increase will be limited." What do you think? Do you want to sign it? ”

150 words in a thousand words?

Zhao Yan's heart was pounding, this has more than doubled the promise on the side of the inscription, 150 words per thousand......

Zhao Yan estimated in his heart: At my current speed, there is no problem with writing six or seven thousand words a day, 150 thousand words, 10,000 words is 1,500, and I write 6,000 words a day for almost a thousand yuan, right?

1,000 a day, 30,000 a month? Thirty and sixty thousand in a Chinese New Year's Eve?

Immediately, Zhao Yan realized that this was just the most ideal situation, when the university started, he would have to attend classes every day, he would definitely not be able to do six or seven thousand words a day, and it was likely that he would have to make a discount, and 360,000 would become 180,000.

Coupled with the occasional bad mood, no inspiration, something to delay or something, I'm afraid it will be tens of thousands less, remove all these factors, if you want to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, then you have to be able to write this book for a year, if it ends in about a month like "Full Moon Scimitar", then you can't get much money.

But even so, Zhao Yan still felt very satisfied.

His parents worked hard to run the family's breakfast shop, and they may not be able to earn 100,000 yuan in a year, he is only 17 years old, and he should be content to have the opportunity to earn so much.

Besides, he also understands that 150 thousand words, with his current situation and popularity, it is almost the limit, and when he submitted it yesterday, he didn't dare to think of such a high price, what he thought in his heart was that as long as it was higher than that given by the Ming Book Society.

Yan Zaixi City: "What do you think?" Xiao Mengyue! What's in your mind? ”

After a while, Xiao Mengyue replied.

"My suggestion is to wait, if there is no higher price for Kyushu tomorrow, then you can sign with them! Of course, this is just my suggestion, whether you want to sign it now or not, the decision is yours! ”

Looking at Xiao Mengyue's reply, Zhao Yan was a little hesitant, and the result of his hesitation was that he still chose to listen to Xiao Mengyue!

Facts have proved that Xiao Mengyue is much better than him in terms of bargaining, the price quoted before studying in Kyushu is 80 thousand words, Xiao Mengyue only spent half a morning, and the price is 150 thousand words, Zhao Yan asked himself If he came to talk about it, he would definitely not be able to negotiate this price.

If he had come to talk about it himself, he might have signed it as early as when the other party quoted 1000 words.

Yan Zaixi City: "I believe in you!" Do what you feel you need to do! Let's talk about it tomorrow! ”

In the villa in Linjiang, Xiao Mengyue looked at Zhao Yan's reply, and the two pear vortices on her cheeks appeared again, it is always happy to be believed, not to mention Zhao Yan's trust.

……

At noon, the canteen of the Kyushu Reading Headquarters in Beijing.

Zhou Yun came to the cafeteria to eat and met Pluto's complaint (Xiang Bin), and happily leaned next to Xiang Bin and asked, "Brother Bin!" What do you think? Did the author of "The Sword of Rebirth" agree to sign a contract? ”

Xiang Bin smiled bitterly when he heard this: "No! The price is not negotiated! ”

Zhou Yun raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Won't it?" I just asked Editor-in-Chief Zhou about it, and she said that she approved the upper limit of 150 words per 1,000 words for that book! You haven't reported the upper limit yet, have you? ”

Xiang Bin shook his head with a wry smile: "It's reported!" ”

Zhou Yun: "Report?" Can't negotiate the price? ”

Xiang Bin: "You don't know, that author is a young master from a rich family, and the price is negotiated with his maid, saying that it is less than 200 words per 1,000 without consideration!" It's already talked! ”

Zhou Yun: "Huh? No way? ”

Zhou Yun was surprised and disappointed, this is the best manuscript she has discovered since she joined the company, and it is rare to get her aunt's approval, if she can't sign the contract in the end, it can't be counted as her work performance.

……

A few minutes later, Zhou Yun, who had already prepared the meal, walked quickly to Zhou Xiaoyun, and after sitting down opposite her aunt, she stretched her neck and quietly begged: "Auntie! Please, will you agree? ”

Zhou Xiaoyun glanced at Zhou Yun's flattering appearance funny, pursed his lips, and refused directly: "Don't agree!" ”

Zhou Yun: "Huh? Aunt! I haven't said what it is, why did you refuse? ”

Zhou Xiaoyun smiled lightly and shook his head slightly, and said lightly while eating: "You want me to agree to the book 200 thousand words, I'm not wrong, right?" ”

Zhou Yun's mouth opened slightly, a little surprised, but he didn't give up.

"Auntie! Yes, yes, please, just agree! You've read the quality of that manuscript as well, and it's pretty good, right? ”

Zhou Xiaoyun: "It's useless for you to say it!" The company has the rules of the company, and with the fame of that author, it is impossible to give this price! 150 thousand words is already the limit! It's useless for you to beg your aunt! ”
