Chapter 161: A New Beginning

After the excitement at the end of 05, in the aftertaste and sighs of book friends, in the debate and sigh, many newcomers who want to join the ranks of writers have started their own journey.

On the first day of 2006, many writers chose to create their own books on this day, and thousands of new books were created overnight. Countless novices have started their own writing journeys, setting off towards the goal of the great god.

Chen Ping finished writing at eleven o'clock in the evening, and only after sending out the chapters that should be updated did he see the message from the Dog League.

"What?" Chen Ping couldn't believe it at all after reading it, and quickly opened the homepage of the starting point, and sure enough, the first position of the monthly pass belonged to "Demon Law", not only won the first place in this and , but even had a great possibility of winning the annual monthly pass championship. Chen Ping hurriedly recalculated, and after he repeated the calculation a few times, he smiled wordlessly.

Nima's, we really got the first place.

In the group of the Mortal League, I sent a word of thanks to my book friends, and then found the buckle number of the blood-red and cigarette man, and found that the buckles of the two were gray avatars, and the corners of their mouths hooked, your sister, playing stealth with your brother? Don't say it's stealth, even if you really go offline, my brother will taunt you.

"The blood is big, and you can't join forces with the cigarette man, alas, you're really old! You really gave me a surprise and almost made me unable to take care of myself, but zuihou, my brother was resurrected in situ full of blood and blue! ”

"Smoke man, you and my brother remember, one day, my brother will take revenge on you and let you squat in the corner and sing conquest!"

Excitement is the only word that can describe Chen Ping's mood at this time.

He was excited, after more than ten days of hard work, he finally got what he wanted, and Huang Qian has been paying silently for more than ten days, and Chen Ping was excited at this time. I can't help but be happy for him.

The result?

Before she was happy for a while, she was hugged to bed by Chen Ping......

This tense nerve was finally relaxed, and after Chen Ping galloped several times, he finally fell asleep deeply, and did not wake up until noon the next day.

The monthly ticket list has been refreshed for the new year. A new beginning, readers who have refreshed the guaranteed monthly ticket do not hesitate to vote for their favorite authors, and a new battle has begun again, but Chen Ping's eyes are no longer on the monthly ticket list, at this time, he is looking at the newcomer list.

The new year has begun, and what Chen Ping is most concerned about is which great gods from previous lives have appeared this year. checked the top 400 newcomers list, but he didn't see a few vests that he knew well. I couldn't help but shake my head, was I in too much of a hurry? It's only the first day of the new year, so maybe they haven't started yet.

On the first day of the new year, Chen Ping received greeting text messages from many people, including Li Jing's.

Li Jing not only congratulated him on a happy New Year, but also reported the sales of "Kongtong" to Chen Ping by the way, and Zuihou did not forget to congratulate him on winning the first annual monthly pass championship at the starting point.

The sales of "Kongtong" are really amazing, and the simplified Chinese version has sold a total of 1 million and 50 copies nationwide. In 05, it was already considered a sales volume of first-class authors. And Chen Ping also got all the royalties of "Kongtong". A total of 3.12 million.

The new year really brought a lot of surprises to Chen Ping.

……

Shanda Corporate Headquarters.

"Mortals have once again achieved glory that others can't achieve, the annual monthly ticket champion in 05, he only took two and a half months to suppress other authors, including many veteran authors who have been creating at the starting point for two or three years, at the same time. It also proves that the vision of our managers is correct, choose mortals, choose "Immortal Rebellion", I have no reason not to believe that our company will go out of a wider and farther road. "A middle-aged man is very dignified, but his tone is very relaxed." Below. Let Director Hou report to us on the progress of the game adaptation of "Immortal Rebellion". ”

Hou Daqing's face was pale, he no longer had his usual breezy demeanor, and when he saw that the rest of the management were looking at him, he had to stand up hard, frowning and saying: "I have personally contacted mortals, and he disagrees with the requirements put forward by our company, and asks to revise several of them. After discussing with other employees, I also agreed to his request, but he changed his mind again, and now he actually proposed that the buyout money we gave was too small and decided to sign the contract. Now the work has been put on hold without the slightest progress. ”

Quiet!

It's quiet!

These executives of Shanda Company looked at Hou Daqing in disbelief, and finally someone took the lead and said: "This mortal has achieved good results, but he is too arrogant, right?" You must know that our company's strength in the game industry is second to none in China, and the buyout fee we give is not low, it is already two million, how much more do he want? ”

"That's right, the website manuscript fee and publication royalties of his book "Immortal Rebellion" add up to more than one million at most, right? We just bought out the game adaptation rights and gave him two million, what else do you want? ”

……

Listening to the constant complaints of a group of executives, Hou Daqing was filled with joy and sorrow in his heart, the complaints of the executives helped him shirk his responsibility, and he was also afraid that the company would reassign personnel to contact mortals, if this was the case, then what he concealed would be exposed, and the consequences were unimaginable, at least, he couldn't bear it now.

Just when Hou Daqing lowered his head and thought about Jihua to deal with, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and the female supervisor of the finance department walked quickly to the boss with a document in her hand.

"Boss, this is the financial statement just sent by the editor-in-chief of the starting point Chinese network, which shows the reward amount of the starting point annual monthly pass jihua and the amount that needs to be spent, please sign."

The boss took the document, looked at it casually, but asked in his mouth, "Is the editor-in-chief gone?" ”

"No, he was waiting in my office, saying that he would get the approval as soon as possible and give the reward back to him."

The boss was about to sign for a moment, and then said, "You invite him, I have something to ask him." After speaking, he put down the pen and leaned back, waiting for the arrival of the editor-in-chief.

When the others heard the news, they also relaxed. That's right, the editor-in-chief is the person in charge of the starting point website, so if he comes forward to find a mortal, it should have an effect, right?

Hou Daqing's face was covered with a layer of cold sweat, and his face was even paler.

After the editor-in-chief came in, he saw that many high-level officials were there. Smile and nod to everyone, then walk to the back seat and sit down.

"Editor-in-chief, do you know about the game adaptation of "Immortal Rebellion"?"

The editor-in-chief nodded, and at the same time looked at the boss suspiciously.

"How's that mortal's personality?"

The editor-in-chief was a little puzzled, why did the boss care about the character of mortals today? Secretly glanced at Hou Daqing and saw his face. The editor-in-chief seemed to understand something in his heart.

"Very nice young man, unpretentious, rigorous."

"Unpretentious?" A middle-aged man with a big belly couldn't help but question, "Where is he simple?" I think he has a big appetite. ”

"That's right, he is too little for our two million game adaptation buyouts, is he also simple?"

The editor-in-chief looked embarrassed, he only knew a little about the game adaptation, and he didn't know the treatment Shanda gave Chen Ping, and now he heard the figure of two million. The editor-in-chief wondered in his heart, Chen Ping really didn't look down on two million?

"Boss, I don't think mortals will do this, although I don't have much contact with him, but I still know him better, he impresses people the most is bland, maybe he has shown a strong side in the Internet, but he is in real life. There is almost no difference from an ordinary college student, is there any misunderstanding in the middle? Or. I'll give him a call and ask? ”

The boss nodded noncommittally, and then the editor-in-chief dialed the phone in front of the senior executives, and Hou Daqing on the side was pale.

……

Chen Ping had momentary doubts when he received the call from the editor-in-chief, and then thought of the news provided by the editor-in-chief last time, and his face was serious.

"Chen Ping, I heard that you decided to reject Shanda's two million buyout money?"

Million?

Chen Ping was even more puzzled. But he still said frankly: "Who said two million? They only gave me a million buyout money, and made a lot of weak demands, and even asked me to join the adaptation team and provide them with services anytime and anywhere, if it were you. Would you say yes? ”

When the editor-in-chief dialed the phone, he casually pressed the speakerphone, so the voice in the phone was very loud, and the people in the entire conference room heard Chen Ping's words.

The expressions on everyone's faces were different, surprised and puzzled, and then they all looked at Hou Daqing on the side.

Hou Daqing couldn't hold back any longer, and with a cold sweat, he took the initiative to stand up.

"Boss, I was wrong."

The boss of Shanda glanced at Hou Daqing coldly and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"As a businessman, I naturally want to fight for something more beneficial to myself, and I did add some conditions to the contract at the beginning, but these conditions are all for our company to adapt the game smoothly. It is true that mortals are a little unhappy with these terms, but we have made changes in a timely manner. I did tell him that the buyout money was one million at the time, and throughout the ages, the negotiations were not all about asking you to come and negotiate with me, who knew that he didn't want to refuse us directly, and then, when he was contacted, he refused to meet. ”

Most of what Hou Daqing said is true, and the negotiation between businessmen, as Hou Daqing said, requires a process of bargaining back and forth.

Many people were relieved when they heard Hou Daqing's explanation, and some people nodded secretly, but they all ignored one thing, and the phone in the editor-in-chief's hand never hung up.

Chen Ping naturally heard Hou Daqing's explanation and couldn't help but sneer.

"Hou Daqing, do you really have the face to say? The second time you asked Li Bing to come forward and made up an excuse for a business trip, did I tell Li Bing my request? To be honest, I didn't expect you to give a buyout of two million, I asked for at least one and a half million, and it was to provide a reference price for other novels when they were adapted in the future. How did you tell me? It is said that Shanda will give a maximum of one million, and don't even think about anything else. Now, okay, can you still beat a rake? If Shanda is a 'talent' like you, it will fall sooner or later. ”

With that, the phone hung up.

Quiescence.

Hearing the voice of a mortal again, Hou Daqing seemed to have been drained of a trace of liliang in his body, and spread it directly on the chair, his eyes were blank, and he muttered in his mouth: It's over, it's completely over.

The higher-ups of the reseat also looked at Hou Daqing with disdain, and at the same time, they were secretly anxious, listening to the tone of mortals, they already had a grudge against Shanda, so this game adaptation?

The grand boss's face was even more serious, and it made people feel cold when he looked at it.

"Hou Daqing, you are now out of the working group for game adaptation rights, now go and hand over the matter and wait for disposal." After speaking, the boss of Shanda looked at the treasurer, "You go and recover the two million special funds and prepare to hand them over to the next person in charge." ”

Hou Daqing followed the treasurer out, and after walking out of the conference room, he remembered that in order to suppress the momentum of mortals, he had transferred 500,000 yuan to reward Jingguan, not only did he suppress the momentum of mortals, but now the special funds are not enough, thinking of this, Hou Daqing was even more frightened in his heart, and he didn't take a breath, and fainted directly at the door of the conference room.

Ten minutes later, Hou Daqing was admitted to the hospital, and at the same time, the treasurer also walked into the conference room and told Shanda's boss about the deficit of special funds.

At this point, all the executives in the conference room looked indifferent, and no one was willing to speak for Hou Daqing, so they could only let the boss deal with it himself.

The boss looked at the editor-in-chief and asked, "Editor-in-chief, how about leaving this matter to you?" ”

……

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ping was quite in a good mood, this Nima's Hou Daqingta is shameless, right? Dare to tell right and wrong in front of yourself? Fortunately, my brother was witty and revealed his true face in time, hum, let Shanda have a headache!

I don't know what to do with this guy at the grand meeting, the editor-in-chief is present, and he should call himself later, right?

Chen Ping sat on the sofa with his mobile phone and waited, and sure enough, twenty minutes later, the editor-in-chief called. After explaining his intentions, Chen Ping hesitated.

is still two million, and the standard has not been lowered because he knows Chen Ping's bottom line, which is also a gesture of making up for Shanda, and I think Shanda's senior management has figured out the ins and outs of this matter.

Seeing that Chen Ping was silent, the editor-in-chief seemed to have guessed Chen Ping's thoughts, and did not urge Chen Ping, but just said that he should think about it carefully, and just call him when he has the answer, so he hung up the phone.

After contacting Chi Yufeng in the capital, Chen Ping was full of expectations for perfection, coupled with Shanda's indifferent attitude, and even the small actions behind him, these things made Chen Ping instinctively disgusted, and wanted to reject Shanda directly, but thinking that Perfection hadn't given him an answer yet, he called Zhao Qiong.

Let Zhao Qiong help find out what Chi Yufeng thinks, and then he can only wait slowly.

The next morning, Zhao Qiong called, the news was not very good, as Chen Ping guessed when he left the capital, Chi Yufeng is now putting all his energy into the release of "Perfect Shijie", and he has no extra thoughts to consider adapting an online novel, although this online novel is very popular.

Getting this answer, Chen Ping could only express helplessness. (To be continued......)
