Chapter 15 Finalization of Contracts

Shi Chuanfeng is a middle-aged man who looks a little chubby, wearing black-rimmed glasses.

However, he also has a kind of youthful liveliness, and when he speaks, he is full of energy and has a strong appeal.

"Classmate Li Chencan, Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House is indeed a big publishing house here, but it is easy to bully customers when the store is big, and their books are more rigid and serious, Nie Yuan's kid is in it, I always laugh at him for becoming an old antique." Shi Chuanfeng spoke to Li Chencan in a very casual tone, and his way of talking was easy to bring people into his rhythm, and it was easy to shorten the distance between the two people.

"Actually, I don't know how to evaluate these, but since this book doesn't meet their requirements, I have to vote elsewhere." Li Chencan smiled slightly: "I believe there is always a place to stay." ”

A trace of surprise flashed in Shi Chuanfeng's eyes, he didn't expect Li Chencan to be so calm at a young age, a young man of this age, if anyone scolds his enemy, he will definitely have a good impression immediately, and he will have a good relationship, but Li Chencan has no reaction to his evaluation of Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House.

"So, you've met me now." Shi Chuanfeng smiled and said, "How is it?" Student Li, give me "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", I promise to give it the most haode publishing treatment. ”

Li Chencan has thought a lot, if it can be published by Baihua Publishing House, the prospects of this book are still very broad, but he mainly needs money now.

On this point, he must grasp it well.

"Copyright is okay, but, Mr. Shi, let's talk about the price of this book."

Shi Chuanfeng was slightly stunned, Li Chencan is really an unusual young man, other people will always be a little twisted and pinched about things like price, and when Zuihou loses the initiative, Li Chencan is so open and honest. How did he know that Li Chencan's eighteen-year-old body contained a soul in his thirties?

"Okay, I'll give you a fair buyout price, 50 yuan per thousand words. What do you think? Shi Chuanfeng said.

"Fifty dollars?"

Li Chencan immediately frowned.

A divine book should not be so cheap.

Even if he has a lot of books in his head that can be as popular as "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", he thinks this one shouldn't be so cheap.

Shi Chuanfeng found that he couldn't see through Li Chencan's expression, and this young man showed an unusually calm and incomprehensible look.

"Fifty yuan is a bit too little, can you divide it?" Li Chencan suggested another possibility: "I can guarantee that my book will become a bestseller." ”

"Fifty is not less." Shi Chuanfeng shook his head and said: "Generally, a newcomer to middle school like you, the price of 30 yuan is already very good, let alone 50. As for dividing ...... That's the treatment that only big-name writers have, Mr. Li, don't make me too embarrassed. ”

Shi Chuanfeng said this, but he was thinking in his heart about what his bottom line price was.

He always had a hunch in his heart that this book would be popular.

"So be it, 100 per thousand words." Li Chencan said: "I only sign the first part, and then look at the sales of the first part, let's talk about the price again, is this okay?" ”

"A hundred words?" Shi Chuanfeng shook his head: "This is too much, I can't give it." And what he thought was that this guy actually wanted to publish a book first, and then renegotiate the price! This vision is truly astonishing.

Li Chencan said: "It's really not good, then it's troublesome to Mr. Shi, and I will continue to find a home for this book." ”

Oops hey! Shi Chuanfeng secretly screamed in his heart!

He looked at Li Chencan's expression carefully, and there was no pretending to leave on his face, but he really wanted to leave, which means that if he didn't keep him now, he would really take the manuscript and leave.

How did you meet such a difficult young man today?

Is he really eighteen years old?

"Eighty words, this is the highest price I can give, it can't be higher." Shi Chuanfeng gritted his teeth and said.

Li Chencan frowned and thought for a while, if he has 80 words per 1,000 words, the first volume is 23W words, and he can get close to 20,000 yuan, and after deducting taxes, there are about 16,000. After all, I'm a newcomer, and this number is not bad.

So, Li Chencan nodded: "Haode, but this is the price of the first volume, let's talk about the next book in the second volume." ”

In fact, this is also a double-edged sword, if the first volume sells well, then his second and third volumes will of course have a high price, but if the first volume hits the street, then the publisher will not have to give him some money like this, and he can renegotiate the price!

But Li Chencan seems to have made up his mind, thinking that his book will be popular.

So, Shi Chuanfeng said with interest: "Student Li, are you really so confident in your book?" ”

Li Chencan snorted: "Yes, I have absolute confidence, but, Mr. Shi, what about you?" ”

Shi Chuanfeng suddenly found that he was now infected by Li Chencan's calmness and self-confidence, and said directly: "Okay, since you are so confident, I can't lose to a young man!" The first volume is eighty words in 1,000 words! In the second volume, look at the results of the first volume, and let's talk about other prices! However, we at Rongcheng Baihua Publishing House must have the priority publishing rights for the next few books. ”

Li Chencan smiled and stretched out his right hand: "Mr. Shi, xiexie, you give me this opportunity." ”

"Happy working together!" Shi Chuanfeng also shook hands with Li Chencan.

Coming out of the teahouse, Li Chencan was relaxed.

In fact, the modern Han culture of the empire is very developed, equal to the English culture, and many industries also have their own patterns, which are quite sound. Seeing that his more than 16,000 will soon be able to reach his account.

When the time comes, how much will it be able to alleviate the wrinkles of the parents?

Li Chencan watched the sun paint a layer of luster on Rongcheng, and he was in a good mood.

Compared with Li Chencan's free and easy, Shi Chuanfeng's brows slowly wrinkled after leaving the teahouse - he signed a newcomer's book at a price of 80 yuan per thousand words, although he was very confident in this book, but next, he Shi Chuanfeng would definitely face great resistance.

His resistance is close at hand -- Yan Xiaokang, another editor-in-chief of Baihua Publishing House.

Yan Xiaokang and Shi Chuanfeng's influence in Baihua Publishing House is divided, the two usually fight openly and secretly, and every best-selling book published by the two of them will become their respective achievements to show off to each other.

But if someone reviews some books that are not selling well, it will immediately become a means of attack for the other party.

Now, Shi Chuanfeng signed a newcomer's book with 80 yuan per thousand words, who knows how Yan Xiaokang will use the topic to play?

Thinking of this, Shi Chuanfeng's heart also had a little more shadow.
