Chapter 31: Dream Building Press

As soon as she heard Tang Yun's words, Yuan Suqin also took the opportunity to say: "Then let's not talk about this, let's talk about Xiao Ran, to be honest, after reading his "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" and "Tomb of the Gods", I like it very much, and I have the impulse to sign these two books as publications several times, but I am suffering from the fact that there is no media to dig up this person's information!" ”

Yuan Suqin's words are true, "Tomb of God" was serialized on the origin Chinese website, and the origin Chinese website has the detailed information filled in by Xiao Ran, and the website is also the agent of the author, who can negotiate the price with the publisher on behalf of the author.

Therefore, through the origin Chinese network, it is not difficult to find the author of "Tomb of God".

But "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" was serialized on "Minbao", although "Minbao" also has Xiao Ran's information, but now Xiao Ran is the biggest influencer of "Minbao" in daily sales, Jin Lan will not take the initiative to announce Xiao Ran's contact information unless his brain is in water.

Yuan Suqin, who did not know that "Tomb of God" and "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" were from Xiao Ran, had actually asked the staff of Zhumeng Publishing House to contact the origin Chinese network to discuss the issue of publishing, but if he wanted to get the more popular "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" publishing rights, he was faced with the situation of not being able to find the author.

But who knows that the mountains and rivers are poor and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.

The author of this "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" is actually Xiao Yuanshan's son, and he is also his daughter Tang Yun's tablemate for three years.

So since her daughter said that she wanted to talk about other issues, Yuan Suqin naturally turned the topic back: "Now that you know that "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" is Xiao Ran's work, can you go to Xiao Ran to negotiate the issue of publishing on behalf of our Dream Publishing House, if it can be negotiated, our publishing house may usher in greater development......"

Yuan Suqin was still planning how to package Xiao Ran's book, and it was called a mess, but her daughter's words poured a basin of cold water on her.

"Mom, it's not a problem for me to negotiate on behalf of Dream Publishing House, but in addition to being your daughter, I am also Xiao Ran's friend, so I also have to negotiate from a neutral position where both parties can benefit and win-win, so I have to ask you how much royalty rate you are going to give Xiao Ran?"

As a cultural family, Tang Yun has learned about the entire publishing industry in adult conversations since she was a child, and as soon as this royalty rate was proposed, it meant that she had agreed to her mother's request, but she first stood in Xiao Ran's position and considered Xiao Ran's interests first.

This made Yuan Suqin a little crying and laughing, this daughter was obviously turning her elbow outward, but she still replied seriously: "I don't know how much you think is appropriate?" Miss Tang. ”

Yuan Suqin's last title also means that she has also entered the role, and the scene between the mother and daughter has instantly become a conversation between the publisher and the author's representative.

Tang Yun knew her mother's character, so she did not shy away from saying: "I want to understand the sincerity of your publishing house first, or you should make a price first." ”

Yuan Suqin said: "According to the normal situation, as a newcomer, we give a royalty rate of 8%, and when it is republished, it will be appropriately increased by one to two percentage points according to the sales volume, but Xiao Ran is already well-known after all, so we are ready to give a royalty rate of 10%, and if it is reprinted, it will be 12%, you should be satisfied, right?" ”

Hearing her mother use honorifics, Tang Yun also began to say seriously: "I'm sorry, you should know that Xiao Ran's worth is a thousand miles a day now, so I don't think the royalty rate you give is inappropriate, at least 12 percent, if it is reprinted, it must reach 15 percent!" ”

This royalty rate is actually the profit that the author can get from publishing a book, for example, if a book is sold for 20 yuan, and the royalty rate is 10%, then the author can get two yuan for each copy sold.

If the book sells well, for example, if it exceeds one million copies, then the royalty rate of just one point is a big difference of a lot of silver, which is why the author refuses to back down even a percentage point on the issue of royalty rate.

Yuan Suqin heard her daughter's request, and felt a little weak in a cold sweat: "Girl, this version of the tax rate is too high, it is estimated that there are only three people in the whole country, Xiao Han, Lao Zheng and Xiao Si, you are too cheating, right?" ”

Tang Yun said with an unmoved expression: "Mom, I think Xiao Ran will be able to surpass these three people in the future, and he will be a big sign of the publishing house at that time, and as long as our publishing house does not cheat on sales and can always give full royalty rates, I believe that Xiao Ran is willing to cooperate with us all the time, do you want him to change jobs after signing two books?" ”

Yuan Suqin continued to say weakly: "Of course I don't want to, but after all, I am your own mother, can you consider your own mother's interests more, or you open your mouth to be coquettish with Xiao Ran, if he really likes you, he will definitely agree." ”

On this issue, there was a disagreement between the mother and daughter, Tang Yun said: "Mom, even if I am with him, I don't want to involve any interests in my feelings, even if he is really willing to give up profits for me, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not respond in his heart, Mom, you tell me, do you want benefits, or do you want a son-in-law?" ”

Tang Yun's words have all talked about this Cheng dΓΉ, and Yuan Suqin naturally can't refute it anymore: "Of course I want a son-in-law, no matter how much money I make, your father and I will only have you as a daughter, won't it all be yours in the future?" Then Mom will listen to you and leave it to you, Mom will now announce that you will have full authority to discuss the publication with Xiao Ran on behalf of Zhumeng Publishing House......"

"Since my mother supports me so much, then I must live up to my mission!"

Speaking of which, Tang Yun had changed her previous seriousness and hugged her mother cordially, because on the issue of Xiao Ran, Yuan Suqin had actually compromised, she could indeed let Tang Yun show weakness and let Xiao Ran take the initiative to ask for concessions, but this did destroy the relationship between the two.

So as a qualified mother, Yuan Suqin chose to respect her daughter's ideas and not let her feelings involve any interests, so that she could get along with Xiao Ran with peace of mind.

Facing the daughter who took the initiative to hug her, Yuan Suqin naturally would not refuse, and hugged her daughter deeply, there seemed to be tears rolling in the corners of her eyes, but she still wanted to save face: "The stinky girl refuses to give your wife any profits, she really hurts you in vain, they all say that it is good to give birth to a daughter, and it is intimate to give birth to a daughter, who knows that it is someone else's heart......"

Tang Yun knew that her mother was joking, so naturally she couldn't refute it, so she just smirked a few times.
