In the next few days, the editors of several publishing houses contacted Zhao Yan one after another, some with a price of 60 per thousand words, some with a price of 70 or 80 per thousand words, maybe their upper limit would be about 100 per thousand words, but Zhao Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and every time he directly informed the other party that his new book had been signed to Kyushu Reading.

On the fourth day, Editor Tian of the Ming Book Club finally called and said to Zhao Yan with a smile: "Ishimi-classmate! Congratulations! Your new book has been reviewed by our editorial team and is ready to sign! ”

After receiving this call, Zhao Yan thought of the clause on the priority of the new book in the contract of "Full Moon Scimitar", although this priority may not be legally binding, but it is better to have one less thing.

Therefore, Zhao Yan asked: "How about the manuscript fee?" ”

Editor Tian: "Well, I told you about the manuscript fee last time, 60 words per thousand!" Feel relieved! What I've said counts, and if I say 60 to you, I won't lose a penny from you! ”

Zhao Yan scolded in his heart: Don't want Bilian!

But he said, "Oh, can't it be any higher?" ”

Editor Tian: "Hehe, Iwami-san! Don't be in a hurry! You're only 17 years old, right? In the future, you will have many opportunities to publish new books, as long as each of your books can maintain the standard, we can give you a little increase every time! Think about it for yourself, at this growth rate, in a few years, when you are in your early 20s, you will be a writer with more than 100 words per 1,000 words, which is more than most of your classmates, what do you think? ”

Zhao Yan pursed his lips, lowered his head and boredly picked up a piece of orange peel by the desk and threw it into the trash, laughed dryly, and said, "Since you can't give a higher manuscript fee, then I can only say I'm sorry!" Good bye! ”

After speaking, Zhao Yan hung up the call, threw the mobile phone on the desk, and spit out two words in his mouth: "Amallet!" ”

Kyushu gave 150 thousand words for reading, and they gave 60 thousand words, as if they gave him a lot of favor to Zhao Yan, in fact, as early as when "Full Moon Scimitar" was signed to them, Zhao Yan was not satisfied with the manuscript fee of 50 thousand words.

However, at that time, Huang Yiqing said that he would give him a guaranteed place to go to college, or a first-line university in China, for that guaranteed place, and in order not to disappoint his parents, Zhao Yan pinched his nose and signed the contract.

This time the new book "The Great Sword of Rebirth" died before he tossed out a lot of brain cells, and 60 thousand words were signed to the inscription? Zhao Yan's brain was almost in the water.

"Full Moon Scimitar" has been ranked first in the list of newcomers and new works in the same period of the Ming Book Society, and has been ranked first recently, such a result, only 10 yuan is added to a thousand words in a new book?

What is the future of staying in such a publishing house?

As for what kind of gratitude and gratitude, Zhao Yan asked himself if he was worthy of the Ming Book Society, "Full Moon Scimitar" They gave Qianzi 50 and Huang Yiqing that guaranteed place, in order to be nothing more than a best-selling novel.

And the sales of "Full Moon Scimitar" are far ahead of the newcomer works in the same period, and what the inscription wants has been obtained.

If the price of their new books for Zhao Yan is not much less than that of other publishing houses, Zhao Yan is willing to stay there, after all, he is more or less grateful to Huang Yiqing for giving him the opportunity to go to college, and there are also some of his book fans on the inscription side, but the manuscript fee given by the other party this time is too little.

It's not more than half of what Kyushu reads.

The phone rang again, and Zhao Yan glanced at the caller ID, it was still Editor Tian.

Zhao Yan didn't want to take it, but he was also a little curious about what the other party wanted to say.

"Hello?"

Tian Editor: "Iwami-san! I said, what's the matter with you? Say hang me up and hang me up? It's rude! I don't think the manuscript fee is too much, right? Then I'll add a little more to you! 65 thousand words! Okay? ”

Zhao Yan didn't speak.

Editor Tian: "Not yet? 70 thousand words? I'll tell you! This is already the highest price! No matter how high it is, it will definitely not be there! 70 thousand words is a lot, right? Do you feel your conscience and say that there is still a lot less? ”

Zhao Yan sighed and said again: "Goodbye!" He hung up again.

In the editorial department of the Ming Book Society, Tian Rong once again took the phone away from his ear in amazement, and looked at the phone with a blind voice in his hand in amazement, he thought that Zhao Yan, a 17-year-old boy, offered him a price of 70 thousand words for his new book, and he would definitely be able to come down, but he didn't expect the other party to hang up with a sigh.

That sigh seemed to say: "!

Tian Rong's face was a little hot, ashamed and annoyed, and after thinking about it, he dialed Huang Yiqing's phone, Huang Yiqing is a teacher at Iwami High School, and he helped Iwami recommend "Full Moon Scimitar", Tian Rong thinks that Huang Yiqing should be able to convince Iwami.

The phone was connected, Tian Rong told Huang Yiqing what had just happened with some annoyance, and after he finished speaking, he found that there was no voice from Huang Yiqing's side, and he couldn't help asking: "Yiqing!" Yiqing? Are you listening to me? ”

"Alas!"

Huang Yiqing also sighed, and then said, "Is the quality of Zhao Yan's new book good?" ”

Tian Rong: "Zhao Yan? Oh, you're talking about Iwami's name, right? ”

Huang Yiqing: "Well, you answer my question just now!" ”

Tian Rong: "What do you say! The writing of his new book is still average, but the creativity is good! The plot is also good, so I'm hoping to sign that book! ”

Huang Yiqing: "Oh, I see! You tell me the truth! How many thousand words can you inscribe to that book? You give it to me, and I'll help you call and ask Zhao Yan. ”

Tian Rong: "Uh, this...... 80…… No, 85! You can go up to 85 words per 1,000 words! ”

Huang Yiqing: "......"

After being speechless for a while, Huang Yiqing took a deep breath, resisted the urge to scold his mother, and said, "5 what 5? I've got you in charge! 90 in 100 words! I'll just ask you one sentence now, if Zhao Yan agrees to 90 thousand words, do you have any problems here? ”

Tian Rong hesitated for a while, and finally agreed.

"Okay! 90 is 90! Cheap kid! But don't show the bottom line yet! Let's see if he can't do 80 lines in 1,000 words! ”

Huang Yiqing didn't respond to him anymore and hung up the phone directly.

Tian Rong listened to the blind voice on the phone, pursed his lips, and muttered: "It's still this stinky temper!" I kind of know who that kid learned from his bad habit of hanging up people's phones! ”

The "kid" in this sentence is naturally talking about Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yan hung up the phone twice just now.

……

Zhao Yan received a call from Huang Yiqing, looking a little helpless, and he thought that he knew what Huang Yiqing was calling at this time.

It was nothing more than to persuade him to sign the new bookmark to the inscription.

"Hello Mr. Huang!"

After connecting the phone, Zhao Yan greeted politely.

Huang Yi got straight to the point and said, "Zhao Yan! Teacher, congratulations on writing a new book, I think you have already guessed the intention of making this call, not bad! I was a member of the Inscription Book Society, and the teacher now wants to ask you, if the inscription gives you a new book of 90 thousand words, would you like to give them a new bookmark? ”

Zhao Yan pinched his temples with a little headache, and said to Huang Yiqing with a wry smile: "Teacher Huang! It's not that I don't give you face, Kyushu Reading gave me 150 thousand words over there, if you were me, would you sign the inscription or Kyushu Reading? ”

Huang Yiqing: "......"

After a moment of silence, Huang Yiqing sighed and said with some emotion: "150 thousand words...... Kyushu Study...... Whether it is the remuneration or the strength of the publishing house, the inscription is indeed incomparable! Come on! The teacher understands your choice! Agree with your choice! Don't think about it! The teacher didn't mean to force you to sign the inscription! Oh, after the new book is released, remember to give a copy to the teacher! ”

Zhao Yan hurriedly said, "Well, thank you for your understanding!" When I get the new sample book, I will definitely give you a copy! ”

Huang Yiqing hung up the phone, but Zhao Yan had a better opinion of Huang Yiqing, this teacher is not bad!
