On March 10th, Grape finally came to Chen Ping's residence with a printed haode contract, and told Chen Ping that the contract had been seen by his colleagues in the legal department, and there were no hidden terms, and it was completely possible to sign the contract.

In front of the grapes, Chen Ping contacted the editor Zhang Zhangmin again.

"Hello, the contract has been read, you see when it is convenient for you, let's meet and sign the contract."

Seeing Chen Ping's news, Zhang Zhangmin quickly replied, asking Chen Ping to wait in S City, and he could come over in two days at most.

The matter of publication was solved, Chen Ping suddenly thought of what he said to Huang Guangliang a few days ago, glanced at Grape, and said slowly: "Grape, can I sign the contract with the starting point from scratch?" ”

Re-signing a contract?

Grape was taken aback when he heard this, and asked cautiously, "Has another website contacted you?" ”

Chen Ping knew that Grape had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "No, don't worry, I can't do anything to escape with the relationship between the two of us." ”

Grape let out a big breath, his face softened, and he generously agreed, "As long as you don't go to other websites, other things are easy to say." If you are not satisfied with the current contract, tell me, and I will go back to the leader to discuss. ”

"There's nothing dissatisfied, it's just that when I signed the contract, I chose to pay half-yearly in terms of manuscript fee payment, and I may need a lot of money this year, so I want to change the payment method of the contract to monthly payment, is this okay?"

"What should I do, that's it, no problem, I can call the shots. Wait for two days for you to go to the starting point headquarters, and then we will sign a new contract again. ”

The grapes are gone, and he promised it well in front of Chen Ping, but he was also beating the drum in his heart and re-signing the contract, which was the first time.

Back in the company, Grape hurriedly reported to the editor-in-chief about Chen Ping's request today, and the editor-in-chief was silent for a long time after hearing it, which made Grape feel worried, this is not a big deal, can't he agree to it with the current fame of mortals?

"You tell him that you can re-sign it, but we have to make changes to the content of the contract, and let him come over in two days, and we will discuss it in person." The editor-in-chief thought about it for a long time before giving an answer, but judging by his face, it seemed that the content of the contract would be substantially changed.

Zhang Zhangmin didn't let Chen Ping for too long, and came to S City the next day, and the two signed a contract in a tearoom not far from Chen Ping's residence, and Zhang Zhangmin told Chen Ping the obligations and requirements that must be fulfilled.

1. Baodao Publishing House is responsible for the promotion and traditional publishing of "Immortal Rebellion" in Baodao, and promises to publish no less than 3,000 copies for the first time, at least one book per month, and the specific amount of publication depends on market conditions.

2. Authors need to provide no less than 150,000 words of manuscripts to Baodao Publishing House every month, and if there is a need to increase the number of manuscripts, Baodao Publishing House will send a notice to the author one month in advance.

3. If it is necessary to reprint, Baodao Publishing House will send a notice to the author in writing, and if the author has other requirements, it must also send a notice to Baodao Publishing House one month in advance, so that the two sides can cooperate amicably.

Chen Ping readily agreed, Zhang Zhangmin is the kind of person who is very efficient, the contract was finalized, and the two parties hurried back after signing.

The day after the publishing contract was signed, Chen Ping came to the headquarters of the starting point as promised, which was the first time he came to the starting point company. The starting point company, which occupies half of the floor, looks magnificent, but when you go inside, it is surprising.

There are a lot of people inside, and it seems a little noisy, which is completely subverted by Chen Ping's imagination of the quiet review office. Came to the editor-in-chief's office according to Grape's prompt, and saw Grape and two middle-aged men with glasses sitting together, Chen Ping was not timid, and walked over to sit next to Grape.

Seeing Chen Ping coming, Grape quickly got up and introduced, sitting behind the desk was the editor-in-chief of the starting point, the first person in the editorial department of the starting point. Sitting on the sofa with Grape was Taishan, the editor-in-chief of Xianxia who had chatted with Chen Ping last time, and both of them nodded to Chen Ping.

"The opening of the starting point reward function, you are indispensable, I thank you on behalf of the starting point, I also let the grapes tell you last time, if you want, the starting point will then leave you a position, whether it is treatment or power will make you satisfied." The editor-in-chief said with a smile, and then there was a regretful expression on his face, "It's a pity that your ambition is not at the starting point." ”

Chen Ping didn't like a serious atmosphere, and the editor-in-chief's words eased the awkward atmosphere of the first meeting in the room a lot.

"I'm a person with a weak temperament and don't like lively places, so I can only regretfully refuse your invitation."

Taishan lifted his glasses and said, "Chen Ping, right?" Now that we've met, let's call our real names. The main reason for inviting you here this time is that you made a request to amend the contract last time, and we have discussed it, and we can fully agree to this. Also, listening to Grape, you have unique insights into the online literature industry, and this time we just took advantage of your visit, and we have a few questions I would like to ask for your opinion. ”

"Please! If I knew, I would have said a lot. ”

"That's right, you also know that the competition in the online literature industry is very fierce now, and many websites take the starting point as a transcendent goal, not only imitating the operating model and excellent functions of the starting point, but also secretly digging up the signed authors of the starting point with high salaries, which is really unguarded, and we have a headache. After you proposed to change the contract this time, we came up with a way for you to help see if it could play a role in retaining the author. With that, Taishan took out a contract from the table beside him and handed it to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping turned out to hand the contract directly to Grape without looking at it, and smiled: "Grape knows, I really have a headache about the contract, you better tell me your thoughts directly." ”

The editor-in-chief took Chen Ping's words and continued: "The previous contract at the starting point is the same text content, since you proposed to modify the contract, I have been thinking about whether it is possible to divide the starting point author level by modifying the content of the contract, and we will provide him with a different contract if we need to focus on the author's training, so that the author's income can be increased without it, and the author can be effectively retained." ”

Chen Ping was shocked when he heard this, the contract is divided into author grades? Could it be the platinum author's contract that circulated at the beginning of the previous life?

"How do you divide it?" Pressing the doubts in his heart, Chen Ping asked cautiously.

"There is a new buyout contract, if the author who has been approved by us can apply for a buyout, we will set the buyout price according to the outline of the work provided by the author and the strength shown by the author. There is also the sharing contract that is currently used, and the general content of the contract remains the same, but there are some appropriate changes in the author's income and author's obligations. The new sharing contract can greatly increase the income of the author, and it will also get a variety of recommendations and publicity from the starting point. Moreover, there are not many obligations that need to be fulfilled by the author, the only point is that the author's new work must be published at the starting point in the future, and if the contract is breached, a large amount of liquidated damages need to be compensated. ”

"What kind of authors are these things intended for?"

The editor-in-chief smiled indifferently, pointed at Chen Ping, and added: "We haven't studied the new contract yet, it's just a preliminary idea now, the author group targeted is the author with the highest popularity at the starting point, you are one, and there are old authors such as Blood Red and Jiangnan Yanyu, the number of people will definitely not be very large, but when the contract is drawn up and re-signed, the starting point will make a publicity for this incident, which can be regarded as a means of changing the direction to improve the author's popularity." ”

Hearing what the editor-in-chief said about the author group, Chen Ping was even more sure of his conjecture, isn't this the platinum-level contract that circulated at the beginning of his previous life!
