Liu Qiang spat and recommended the manuscript with Mr. Ye.

Mr. Ye, who got up angry, was still moved, after all, Liu Qiang was an old editor, if he hadn't really found a good manuscript, he wouldn't have been so out of shape.

"You calm down first, I'll see it right away." Mr. Ye hung up the phone and got up to turn on the computer.

The mailbox of the editorial department is public, so Mr. Ye can also see "Poetry and the Sea".

He rubbed his eyes, and at first he was careless, but after reading two pages, his eyes lit up like Liu Qiang, and his head was about to be stuck on the computer.

In the editorial department, Liu Qiang could not calm down, he made a cup of coffee, walked around the window, and waited for Mr. Ye's reply.

If this manuscript is done well, he Liu Qiang will be developed, and the author's achievements are linked to the editor.

Liu Qiang was a little glad that he didn't go back tonight, otherwise he was afraid that this manuscript would be snatched by other editors.

After drinking a cup of coffee, Liu Qiang made another cup, and at this time, Mr. Ye's call finally came back.

"Liu Qiang, you reply to Chu Xiaohe immediately, we want this manuscript, test it first with five hundred words, forget it, look at his writing must be an old author, no need to tempt, directly treat a thousand words and a thousand gods, in short, this Chu Xiaohe must be pulled to our magazine!" Mr. Ye was straightforward, and his tone was full of amazement and anxiety.

This worldly magazine is not easy to mix, if Chu Xiaohe submits more than one manuscript, it will be a big loss if he asks other magazines to snatch it, so it is better to quickly cut through the mess, don't rub it in.

"Good!" Liu Qiang didn't say a word, and replied to Chu He by typing. He doesn't have the slightest opinion on the price of 1,000 words, which is 700 higher than the price of a newcomer, and it is not the top in the magazine industry, "Poetry and the Sea" is worth this price.

"Hello, our company has adopted your manuscript, the price is 1,000 words, if you agree, please leave your contact information, we will discuss in detail, and mail the contract." Liu Qiang's palms were sweating, and he was also afraid that Chu Xiaohe would be robbed by other magazines.

After he replied, he stared at the computer, not planning to go home, so as not to miss Chu He's reply.

And Mr. Ye couldn't sleep, he tossed and turned for a long time, and still drove back to the editorial office.

Liu Qiang said unexpectedly: "Mr. Ye, why are you here?" It's not dawn yet. ”

"You don't understand, the prospect of this "Poetry and the Sea" is too tempting, you look at "The Three-Body Problem", which has been unknown for so many years, once broke out and became popular all over the world. The result? The author's copyright is not in his hands, and he has no right to speak in making movies. We focus on cultivating this "Poetry and the Sea", no matter how to hit the street in the early stage, we must grasp the copyright in our own hands. Mr. Ye put down the briefcase, his face was moving, and a few hairs were floating on his head.

Liu Qiang nodded again and again: "What I said is that if the copyright is sold at a low price in the early stage, it will be a big loss if the book becomes popular in the later stage." ”

"This Chu Xiaohe, we must serve him well, and help him deal with all kinds of matters related to "Poetry and the Sea", if he lacks money and wants to sell the copyright, we can buy it ourselves, don't let him sell it indiscriminately. The copyright of the comic book adaptation of the audio novel is not allowed to be sold! Mr. Ye knocked on the table, looking like a lecturer.

Liu Qiang rubbed his hands, his bald head was reflecting: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid this one is going to make a lot of money." ”

Jiangcheng, Longding Bay by the sea.

It was more than five o'clock in the morning, and the east showed the whiteness of the fish's belly.

Chu He patted the sand on his body and yawned back to the villa.

He ate and was about to rest, but he saw that the submission email was actually replied.

"The editors don't sleep in the middle of the night?" Chu He was a little surprised, he never expected that the editor would reply to him in the middle of the night.

He was interested, opened it, and saw "a thousand words and a thousand words" at a glance.

This shocked him, a thousand words and a thousand yuan, that is to say, a dollar for writing a word?

"I'm going, writing novels is too lucrative, isn't it?" Chu He smacked his tongue, "If you write a few million words, wouldn't it be a million?" ”

Forgive him for his lack of knowledge, and he was a little confused at the first time.

However, he is also a systematic person, and he was surprised for a moment and then became dull.

The system's original "Poetry and the Sea" is indeed worth the price, and Chu He also knows that thousands of words and thousands of yuan are only the manuscript fee in the early stage, and the copyright operation in the later stage is the most important.

However, Chu He didn't know much about the magazine, so he didn't think much about it.

He replied directly to the editor: "Thank you, I am willing to sign a contract with your company, and my contact information is ......"

Magic City, Editorial Department of Science Fiction World.

Mr. Ye and Liu Qiang stared at the computer screen, and their eyes were dazzled.

"He sent the manuscript in the middle of the night, but the two of us studied the manuscript for half a day, and it took a lot of time, and he should have slept already." Liu Qiang was a little depressed, knowing that he had replied earlier.

"Today, we will stare at this manuscript, and we must wait until he replies......" Mr. Ye was enthusiastic, but before the words fell, Chu He's reply came.

The two bosses almost jumped up, but quickly clicked on it to take a look, and immediately burst into laughter.

Chu He agreed to sign a contract!

"Poetry and the Sea" is in the bag!

"Liu Qiang, you hurry up and send it to him as an electronic contract, and I will notify the editorial department to immediately typeset "Poetry and the Sea", which will be released the day after tomorrow." Mr. Ye was in a hurry, and immediately called to inform his subordinates to go to work.

It's only six o'clock now, and everyone usually goes to work at nine o'clock.

Liu Qiang was a little confused: "Mr. Ye, the next issue of the magazine has been typeset, and it will take two days to retypeset?" Too much of a hurry, right? ”

"If you don't use it well for these two days, you can only wait for another month, and you know how sluggish sales have been recently, and the sales volume has dropped by 30 percent, and you can't use low-quality articles to drive away readers!"

Mr. Ye is ambitious: "The opportunity is right in front of you, why do you abide by so many rules?" I'll take care of it over there, anyway, you insert "Poetry and the Sea" into the next issue of the magazine in the next two days, arrange the layout for me, and release it the day after tomorrow! ”

Rushing to add a new serial article will inevitably have an impact on the entire magazine, and may even retract other articles.

Reformatting is a must.

However, Liu Qiang is also an old man, since he wants to do it, he will do it big. What does it matter if you work hard?

"Good!"

The deserted editorial office became hot, and the two made more than 20 phone calls one after another, asking their colleagues to come to work immediately and have a lot of work to do.

So, when people from other companies in the office building came to work at eight o'clock, they were surprised to find that the editorial department, which usually starts work at nine o'clock, is in full swing!

"Is the magazine in the science fiction world going wrong again? The whole class is out to revise? ”

"Now people are reading novels on the Internet, who still buys physical books, these people are tossing around."

The strange situation in the editorial department has become the talk of everyone after dinner, but they did not expect that a masterpiece that has a profound impact on the world of science fiction will be published.

At this time, Chu He had already fallen asleep.

He negotiated the contract with editor Liu Qiang, and did not raise the price, and the thousand words were very high.

As for everything else, just leave it to the magazine.

Chu He now thinks that "Poetry and the Sea" can be serialized as soon as possible, and then let Liu Zhiqing see it and earn her pleasure points.

We are little white-faced, and we must take the pleasure of rich women as our first task.
