Chapter 163: Negotiation

"It's done!"

After receiving Fang Chengshi's notice, Su Wen knew that Ding Lin could no longer escape from the palm of his hand.

The Spring and Autumn Publishing House is also going to fall into his hands.

At this time, Su Wen was quite excited and excited, he didn't expect that he would one day become the owner of a publishing house!

He didn't have such a consciousness before, but after Ding Lin came to the door, he learned about the situation of the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, and he made a temporary decision to buy a publishing house to play.

In order to achieve this goal, he became a villain who took advantage of the fire to rob, even if Ding Lin and Fang Chengshi felt that he was not a good person, he would not change his goal, it was really a rare opportunity, after this village, there would be no shop.

These days, he kept in touch with Fang Chengshi, and the other party also persuaded him to dispel this idea, and he also analyzed the situation very pertinently.

For example, the duty of a literati is to concentrate on writing and to write satisfying works. If you are distracted from running a company or a publishing house, you will definitely be much less focused on writing, which is not what a responsible literati should do.

Those great writers and writers, even for the sake of profit, at most ask for higher income commissions, or operate more channels of copyright income, and rarely personally invest in the company's operations.

Their energy is spent more on writing, and writing good works is the duty of a literati.

Fang Chengshi used this to persuade Su Wen, worried that he would be distracted by business operations and ignore the fundamentals of writing, and if this continues, it will definitely not be conducive to his long-term development.

In order to persuade Su Wen, Fang Chengshi can be said to be bitter, moving with affection, and knowing with reason. This approach, on the one hand, wants to ease the conflict between Su Wen and Ding Lin, and on the other hand, it is really for the sake of Su Wen.

These truths. Su Wen understands that if he is an ordinary literati, he is indeed worried that his business operation will delay his writing, but he has no such hidden worries!

He can come up with his work whenever he wants, and others may have to rack their brains to create it. The biggest difficulty in his creation is nothing more than adaptation - to change the classics in his mind to be more in line with the context of the world and the taste of reading.

With such a golden finger, he doesn't have to worry about his creation not keeping up with development or anything.

On the contrary, with this advantage, he needs to have his own publishing house all the more - it doesn't matter if the publishing house is small, his own industry, and the profits will definitely be his own. And this is the publisher of the partnership, and the income in terms of royalties is still his.

So. A book can make two copies, even if the sales are not as good as those of large companies and large publishing houses, then the income is very considerable.

The biggest advantage is that your own publishing house, you can decide what books you want to publish and how you want to publish them, you are all free, and you don't have to look at other people's faces to do things, isn't this what a literati craves the most!

This is the biggest reason why Su Wen did not hesitate to be a wicked person and asked Ding Lin to give in.

In order to let Fang Chengshi try his best to persuade Ding Lin. Su Wen promised to let Fang Chengshi participate in the shares, and also became a boss of the publishing house. In addition, he also promised Fang Chengshi to be the president of the publishing house, which he would run.

On the one hand, the editor-in-chief of the evening newspaper, on the other hand, the president and one of the bosses of the publishing house, plus there is the potential stock of Su Wen as a market weapon, everyone knows how to choose, right?

Su Wen was not worried that Fang Chengshi would not be moved.

In fact, Su Wen wants to be the president of the company with funds. Let people call the president, that sour, it's just wonderful.

Unfortunately, he is only eighteen years old now, and he will go to college in the next few years. It's simply not possible to spend all your time on business. Then, it is also quite a good choice to find an acquaintance who is familiar with the industry and is a friend to help preside over the overall situation, and he hides behind to control the situation.

It turned out that Fang Chengshi really spent a lot of effort to deal with Ding Lin.

After the monthly sales of "Romeo and Juliet" were released, Ding Lin should have been shocked and moved, and was finally persuaded by Fang Chengshi to choose to restart negotiations with Su Wen.

After Luo Zhu's monthly sales data came out, Su Wen was more confident to join the Spring and Autumn Publishing House!

Soon, the three people who had broken up because of the negotiations were reunited.

Goodbye Su Wen, although Ding Lin was not as angry as last time, his face was still indifferent, and there was a faint unwillingness and annoyance.

He is such an emotional person, and his personality dictates it, otherwise he would not have brought the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, which is in a good situation, to this point.

Last time before leaving, he said that he would rather the publishing house go bankrupt than let it change its surname, and he would not let Su Wen become the owner of the house. Although this is an angry statement, it is also his heart.

After he returned, he was still at a loss, and in the end, he hit his mother with the idea, and he asked his mother for money, saying that it was to be spent on the operation of the publishing house, and he planned to spend a lot of money to buy a book by a famous author and publish it to his publishing house.

His mother only asked him one sentence: After spending a lot of money to buy the copyright, with the marketing ability of their Spring and Autumn Publishing House, even if the work sells well and keeps the current number of book numbers, will there be any money to be made?

Ding Lin didn't dare to say that he would definitely make money, and even he knew that if he didn't do well, he would lose money.

His mother asked again, "If you lose, how much will you lose?"

This amount is not small, and the copyright fees for books by famous writers can easily cost millions. Even if one or two million copies are sold, excluding various costs, let alone making money, it will still lose a lot, and it is estimated that it will be measured in hundreds of thousands of units.

As soon as she heard that she would lose so much, Ding Lin's mother immediately refused, and she didn't pay out of her own pocket to kill her, and said that she would rather the publishing house go bankrupt than throw all the coffins into it.

This time, no matter how Ding Lin pleaded, Ding's mother, who wanted to spoil her son, was hard-hearted, and she didn't waver.

Ding Lin is completely dead, even his mother doesn't support him, what else can he do? Perhaps, I can really only watch the publishing house go bankrupt and close down.

really has to wait for it to go bankrupt, Ding Lin is unwilling, and there is a fear of the unknown. At this time, Fang Chengshi called him frequently and began to lobby him to let Su Wen enter the master and save the publishing house, so as not to waste his father's hard work.

Here in Ding Lin, Fang Chengshi still moved with emotion and reason, saying that Ding Lin was not suitable for business. Why not be a small shareholder, let Su Wen, who is more capable and potential, be the shopkeeper, and make the publishing house bigger, his father can be relieved in the spirit of heaven, even if the publishing house is no longer the property of the Ding family, but the founder is his father. No one can change that. One day the publishing house became bigger, and his father was still a glorious and glorious founder!

In addition, just let Su Wen become the owner, and not sell all the shares, he Ding Lin is still one of the bosses, and he can still affect the operation of the publishing house. At least, in the future, when the book number is sufficient, Ding Lin will still be able to take some out of it and publish the book he came up with. So. Business and ideals are not delayed, the best of both worlds, why not?

I have to say that the last reason makes literary and artistic youth unable to refuse.

Ding Lin was moved, and when he saw that Su Wen's first work sold nearly three million copies a month, he completely gave in, hoping that Su Wen's arrival would bring the publishing house back to life.

In other words, the sales of these three to five million copies can bring them the allocation of twenty or thirty book numbers!

If reality and ideals can be compromised. Ding Lin could only endure it, and changed his words and said that he wanted to negotiate with Su Wen again.

This is the main reason why the three of them are meeting today.

Fang Chengshi is still in the middle as an introducer. But today he couldn't stay out of the matter, for Ding Lin, he was a little ashamed, and he always felt that he was moved by Su Wen's conditions, so he thought about selling Ding Lin.

On the one hand, he was emotionally embarrassed, and on the other hand, there was another voice intellectually telling him. It's the best option! For him, Yu Dinglin, and Yu Suwen are the most suitable.

Fortunately, Ding Lin is the kind of person who does what he says, and now he already has an idea in his heart. He didn't go around in circles, he directly threw a document in front of Su Wen, and said coldly: "Mr. Su, if you want to join our Spring and Autumn Publishing House, I agree in principle." I have one request, though. ”

Su Wen glanced at him deeply and said calmly: "As long as the conditions are not too excessive, I can promise you." ”

Ding Lin snorted: "I won't sell the entire publishing house to you, I am still one of the shareholders of the Spring and Autumn Publishing House." So, in the ISBN assigned to us, I ask for the same number of ISBN as my share of the shares, is that not too much? ”

"It can't be!" Su Wen categorically refused, "President Ding, don't be in a hurry to distinguish, my reason is also very simple: the facts have proven that your books are not reliable!" And I guess you're going to have to keep two or three percent of the stake for yourself. If we have a hundred ISBN numbers, don't we say you're going to take twenty or thirty? Twenty or thirty works are tossed around, once you lose a lot, let alone me, even if the gods come, they can't save this publishing house. I invested in it to make greater profits, not to do charity! ”

"You ......" Ding Lin didn't expect Su Wen to refuse so directly, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Fang Chengshi hurriedly played a round and said, "Ding Lin, if you have something to say, you have something to say." To be honest, don't talk about Su Wen, I don't think it's very reliable for you to ask for this! For example, if you only have 10 ISBNs in this issue, and now you have used up 5 of them, and only 5 are left, you need to think carefully and strive to produce more successful books in your limited ISBN. If you use up two more, won't you have to sit back and wait? ”

Ding Lin's face turned red, and he forced himself to say: "This issue can not be counted, then it can be given to me in the future." ”

Su Wen said directly: "President Ding, after this issue, ten percent of the future book numbers can be decided by you." You can come up with any book you want, but if the market for these books is not satisfactory or there is too much loss, we have the right to suspend the project with your book number. ”

"What do you mean by losing too much?" Ding Lin asked.

Su Wen said leisurely: "It's so bad that everyone can't stand it...... Still don't get it? Just like you are now, if you continue to do it, there is a possibility of smashing your job, you say, can we still let you toss in this way? ”

"You ......" Ding Lin's face turned red, and his body trembled with anger, this Su Wen's mouth was too poisonous, and he actually violated him like this!

However, he could not refute it, because it was true!

"Okay, I promise you!" Ding Lin took a deep breath, agreed loudly, pointed to the document he had just thrown in front of Su Wen, and snorted, "Then take a look at this asset summary report of our Spring and Autumn Publishing House!" If you want to buy shares, you have to come up with real money, right? Do you want to empty the gloves white wolf, really think that by giving me the copyright of a work, you can enter our publishing house? Take a closer look! There is not enough money and you want to take the lion's share...... I'm afraid you can't afford it! Hey! ”

Ding Lin's tone was full of ridicule, as if he knew Su Wen's family background and felt that he couldn't take many shares! (To be continued......)
