The next morning, Lu Li did not go to class after the morning exercise, but took a bus to the city, and then took a taxi to the "friend" tea house that Zhao Wenkui said.

When he arrived at the place, Lu Li called the other party, and soon saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a suit with a somewhat elegant atmosphere walking out of the "friend" tea house and looking around.

Lu Li greeted him and asked, "Is it Editor Zhao of Huaxin Publishing House?" ”

Hearing the voice, the middle-aged man looked at Lu Li, with a little curiosity, and said, "Yes, I think you are the famous Lu Li recently, so the little brother has been waiting for a long time." ”

Hearing this, Lu Li hurriedly waved his hand: "It's a big name, I can't talk about it, and I've just arrived." ”

"Well, we're polite here, let's go in." Hearing Lu Li's words, Zhao Wenkui grabbed Lu Li's shoulders and said in a mouthful of Beijing films.

Lu Li saw the other party's actions and knew that this was a seemingly elegant but somewhat arrogant person with a surname, and he couldn't help but feel a little more fond of him.

Zhao Wenkui had already booked a private room, so at this moment, he led Lu Li to sit down in the private room, and his own waiter brought a teacup and made a cup of tea for Lu Li.

"Come, taste, this is the signature tea of the 'Friend' Tea House, only here, and you can't drink it anywhere else." After Lu Li sat down, Zhao Wenkui did not talk about signing the contract straight to the point, but invited Lu Li to tea.

Lu Li smiled slightly when he heard this, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip gently, only to feel a cool feeling slowly sink into his throat, squinted his eyes and enjoyed it before he opened his mouth and praised: "Good tea!" ”

Hearing Lu Li's admiration, Zhao Wenkui's eyes lit up, looked at Lu Li and asked, "What's the matter, the little brother is also like this?" ”

Seeing Zhao Wenkui's appearance, Lu Liyi didn't know that the other party was a person who liked to drink tea, and said, "It's not, but I know a little." ”

"Oh, I'm not afraid of little brother jokes, I'm not interested in tobacco and alcohol at all, so I'll just drink some tea." Zhao Wenkui showed a little disappointment on his face, and after finishing speaking, he also picked up the teacup in front of him, squinted his eyes and enjoyed it after taking a sip.

Seeing this, Lu Li didn't urge, and took another sip of tea.

After Zhao Wenkui opened his eyes again, he looked at Lu Li apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, when it comes to what I like, I digressed for a while, and I called you today to sign a contract." Come, you look at the contract. As he spoke, Zhao Wenkui handed over a contract that had been prepared for a long time.

Lu Li took the contract, opened it and looked at it. In fact, Lu Li is the most annoyed by contracts and the like, because he can't understand them, and there are a lot of clauses. The last time he signed a contract with Randy, Lu Li had already experienced one.

With experience this time, Lu Li only looked at a few of the key points, and after seeing that there were no problems, he finally looked at the royalty income in detail, then nodded and said, "There is nothing wrong with the contract." ”

Hearing Lu Li say this, Zhao Wenkui also smiled: "Then let's sign it." ”

Lu Li naturally had no objection, and after signing all the places where he should have signed, he handed it to Zhao Wenkui.

Zhao Wenkui took it and saw that there was no problem, so he said: "Actually, I should invite my little brother to dinner today, but the publishing house still has a lot of things to do, so it is estimated that there will be no time, this ......"

Lu Li hurriedly interrupted when he heard the other party's words: "It's nothing, there are still many opportunities for cooperation in the future, and there are many opportunities, I will ask Editor Zhao to pay for the manuscript another day." ”

"Okay, then let's settle it, I want to rush back to the publishing house as soon as possible to finalize the first printing of "Shooting the Condor", and strive for the publication of "Shooting the Condor" as soon as possible." Zhao Wenkui hurriedly took over the conversation when he heard this.

"Okay, then Editor Zhao, you're busy, let's leave." Lu Li also wanted the content of "Shooting the Condor" to be published as soon as possible and be seen by more people.

The two talked happily and walked outside together.

"By the way, the publishing house originally planned to hold a signing party, but since our publishing house used to publish some traditional books, so I didn't have any experience in this area, so I haven't decided to make a decision, I don't know if you have such a will?" To Lu Li's surprise, they were all out of the "friend" tea house, and Zhao Wenkui suddenly stopped and said something to Lu Li.

Lu Li was indeed stunned when he heard this, you didn't mention anything about it when you signed the contract just now, and now you will talk about it after you have finished talking. Brother is still waiting for you to open your mouth and want to have a book signing.

Of course, Lu Li didn't show anything on the surface, but asked suspiciously: "Well, I didn't know you had such thoughts, so I didn't think about it." Of course, I would be happy to have a signing session, which can also increase my popularity. ”

After listening to Lu Li's words, Zhao Wenkui said: "Actually, I didn't mention this matter mainly because our publishing house had not held such an event before, just like the publication of online novels this time can be said to be a test of the waters, if it sells well, more online novels will be published in the future." ”

When Lu Li heard the other party's words, he also remembered what Gu Feng said: The books published by this publishing house before were all traditional books.

After a pause, Zhao Wenkui patted Lu Li's shoulder and said, "Since you have the idea of holding a signing meeting, I will try to help you implement it when I go back, and I will contact you after it is decided." ”

After saying that, the two said goodbye and went back.

What Lu Li didn't expect was that he received a call from Zhao Wenkui again the next day, saying that the number of first prints of "Shooting the Condor" had been determined, and it was decided to print 50,000 copies to test the water, and if it sold well, it would continue to be printed.

50,000 seems to be a small amount for the national market, but it is actually quite a lot. After all, with the advent of the e-reading era, the sales of physical books are declining year by year, so it is already a very risky move for Huaxin Publishing House to give the first printing of 50,000 yuan to "Shooting the Condor".

In fact, Huaxin Publishing House has no choice, the current traditional book sales are too poor, if you don't want a way out, maybe it will decline soon, after all, the big domestic publishing house is not only Huaxin Publishing House, the competition is still very big.

However, with the development of the Internet in recent years, many relatively small publishing houses have published a lot of online novels, and even entered the top 10 sales list for several consecutive years.

At this time, Huaxin Publishing House finally couldn't sit still, and began to enter the online literature industry, and the first thing I liked was Lu Li's "Shooting the Condor". Because although "Shooting the Condor" was first updated on the Internet, its content is relatively strong, and the results are also very good, which is a very suitable book for Huaxin Publishing House.

Therefore, Huaxin Publishing House hit it off with Lu Li, not only giving Lu Li very generous royalty treatment, but also the number of first prints is also very considerable.

Because "Shooting the Condor" is about to be published, Lu Li also learned about the situation of physical books, so he knows that the first print run of the other party is very good, and he is still very satisfied with the other party's approach. Although Lu Li, who has had experience in his previous life, knows that such a print run is far from enough for "Shooting the Condor", but now Lu Li will naturally not be stupid to say that the number of other people's prints is small, and the facts will naturally prove everything.

"By the way, the matter of the signing meeting has also been finalized, and the preliminary decision is that on January 1, New Year's Day, the first volume of "Condor Shooting" will also be on the shelves of bookstores across the country, and you have to adjust the time." After talking about some publishing questions, Zhao Wenkui said to Lu Li.

Lu Li didn't expect that what he said yesterday had been determined today, it seems that this Zhao Wenkui is a person who is in a hurry.

"Okay, you don't have to go to class on New Year's Day, you can contact me when the time comes." Lu Li had no objection when he heard this, and replied.

In the evening, Lu Li also released a single chapter related to the work of "Shooting the Condor", saying that "Shooting the Condor" will be published soon, and the listing time is tentatively set for January 1st, and a signing meeting will be held, but the location is still to be determined, and everyone will be notified at any time.

And Liu Xiaowen and other book fans also learned the news that Lu Li was going to hold a signing party, and they began to get busy. This signing meeting is a big challenge for the nascent Lu League. However, if it is held well, it will be a very good opportunity for the future development of the Lu League and the cohesion of the people's hearts.

Soon, Liu Xiaowen posted a registration post in the book review area of "Shooting the Condor" as the leader of the Lu League:

I am glad to hear that Lu Lida's "Shooting the Condor" is about to be published, and it is determined to hold a signing meeting, the time of the signing meeting is initially set for January 1, although the location has not been decided, but it is the greatest possible in Huajing City, and I hope that on New Year's Day, the members of the Lu League who have the conditions and time to come will all report here, and determine the number of people first. At that time, Mosquito and Lu Lida were at the scene to catch the wind for the heroes from all walks of life.

After posting, Liu Xiaowen directly added the post to the top, and soon the replies gathered.

"Sign up, don't say anything else, just to see Lu Lida is going to go." Breasts to stretch out their palms.

"Sign up, in fact, I want to see the alliance leader more than Lu Li, after all, Lu Lida has seen the photos, and I haven't seen the rumored beauty alliance leader yet." Romantic.

"Sign up, I won't say that I'm going to see the leader of the beauty league. In addition, upstairs is a pervert, and the identification is complete. "Harry Potter is big.

"Sign up, Lu Lida wants to see it, and the beauty alliance leader also wants to see it." Really a lot of fish.

……

Huahai Jiaotong University, Liu Xiaowen sat in front of the computer, looking at the content of these people's replies, directly ignoring some words, and carefully counting the people who wanted to participate. And as the day passed, the number of people who signed up became more and more, and by the 31st, the number of people counted by Liu Xiaowen had reached more than 5,000.

Although not necessarily everyone who signs up can come, it can also be seen that Lu Li's popularity is high, and of course, the popularity of the beauty alliance leader of Mosquito is not covered.

And after Lu Li felt the tension of time, the daily update volume also changed from the original two changes per day to three watches, and "Shooting the Condor" was about to end.
