Chapter 15: Blocked!
"Hehe, with eight percent of the royalties, I want to publish Lao Tzu's novel, which is destined to be a double-line fire, although it has mixed reviews, and it is also very self-righteous to attach that the publication of the next novel must be unconditional, really when Lao Tzu doesn't understand anything, is it really a stunned young man who doesn't understand anything?"
After hanging up the phone with a sneer, Lin Dong blocked the other party's number. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
That's right, from the moment the other party said that he was a person from Hetu Century, he was actually doomed!
It is impossible for Lin Dong to sell the physical publication of this novel to Hetu Century, as for why?
Just because the current head of Hetu Century is the cousin Lin Xiao who is superficially smug but actually ambitious, it is enough!
And the reason why so many tongues were wasted with the editor named Wang Wei was that Lin Dong wanted to know what conditions the other party would offer, so that he could compare it with later publishing houses.
"Since the first one has already tried to find the door, the second and third should also be moved, right?"
After putting away the phone, Lin Dong continued to start his journey of code words.
As for the matter of publication, he believes that it will definitely be finalized in the next few days.
As for why he is so sure, it is only because Lin Dong knows that capitalists have been profit-seeking from ancient times to the present!
About a few hundred kilometers away from Lin Dong's barracks, in Shangjing, in a large comprehensive office building with more than 100 floors.
Level 68 -
In a publishing organization signed "Century Literature Publishing Co., Ltd.", a middle-aged man about thirty-four or five years old, wearing a smart suit, tie, shiny combed hair, and two sexy mustaches.
At this time, he was sitting in his office area with a confused face, staring at the telephone landline with a red light in disbelief, muttering: "! Hung up? Why is he hanging up? Why did he not only hang up, but also blacked out Lao Tzu? ”
This person is none other than Wang Wei, the operations editor who just talked to Lin Dong on the phone and hung up the phone before he understood what was going on.
Wang Wei couldn't have imagined that the other party, a nobody who was a little famous on the Internet but was not well-known in the publishing industry, would dare to hang up the phone of his editor of a famous publishing house?
And so chic, so fast, so reckless!
"Boy, although the boss told me to take down your physical publication, but since you are so ignorant, dare to hang up Lao Tzu's phone and block Lao Tzu, and don't take Lao Tzu as an editor, then don't want to gain a foothold in the publishing industry in the future!"
As the operation editor of the publishing house who is responsible for negotiation, it is also dignified!
In particular, Century Literature, which is backed by a large group, has gained a firm foothold in the publishing industry in just half a year, breaking out of the encirclement from a number of old publishing houses and playing a well-known potential stock.
The other party is so reckless, then Wang Wei will definitely let him know what the consequences are!
As for the boss, he only said that the other party's asking price was too high and his attitude was very bad, and he just had a bad deal.
Thinking so, Wang Wei, who was burning with anger in his chest, quickly logged in to Qiuqiu Chat and entered the industry's largest publishing and editing group.
"! Today, since I was slapped in the face by an online author......"
"Everyone! Have you ever seen an online writer get a 10% royalty on his first novel? Never, right? But today, our company has offered such a price to the author of the online article "The Last Bullet Left to Me", which is obviously a premium and full of sincerity! But guess what? Since the other party said that the price is too low, there is no 15% royalty, plus a 5% share of the sale of the novel, then don't talk to him...... And after finishing speaking, he blocked Lao Tzu! Yes, you read that right, that kid who doesn't know the height of the sky blocked Lao Tzu after unilaterally hanging up Lao Tzu's phone......"
Soon, under the rendering of the story of Wang Wei, a well-known editor, Lin Dong, the author who has recently become popular on the Internet and has carried the banner of military affairs by himself, has become an insatiable, blind and arrogant villain.
"The reason why I tell you such a particularly faceless thing here is not that my old Wang is noble, nor that my old Wang is stingy, and my old Wang has never seen any storms and waves in the publishing industry for so many years? The reason why I said it was because I really couldn't bear that kid's behavior! Heads up to the big guys! Lest the time, when you go to contact that kid to negotiate with him about the copyright, you will be bored and end up with the same fate as my old king! ”
After saying this, Wang Wei also added a few sighs, crying and laughing expressions to the back.
Before Wang Wei entered the group and didn't speak, the atmosphere in the group was extremely quiet.
And after he said this, the originally silent communication group suddenly exploded.
"! It's been a long time! A new newcomer who can't be new, since the opening is 15% royalty, this really thinks of himself as a popular writer. Hahaha......"
"Tsk! Sure enough, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds! A newcomer who is nothing, not only opens his mouth for 15% royalties, but also wants to share dividends ......"
"15% royalties? A 5% sales dividend? Looks like I don't have to touch that brow! ”
"Since even a company like your Century Literature, which has the support of big financiers behind it, has been ignored by that kid, then a small publishing house like ours that fights petty is even more useless......
"! Our boss just asked me to contact the author, and I thought it was a good errand, but now it seems like a hot potato......"
“……”
Looking at the words that popped up on the computer screen, Wang Wei suddenly sneered at the corner of his mouth.
"Dear colleagues in the publishing industry! For such a guy who thinks he is a little famous on the Internet, but is actually not a fart in our publishing industry, his heart is higher than the sky but his life is thinner than paper, our company makes it clear here that even if he gives the copyright of the novel to our company for free in the future, our company will not help him publish any novels! ”
And at this moment, a very informative text suddenly appeared on the screen.
And this person's ID name is impressively written-Zhao Ran, editor-in-chief of Century Literature.
With the appearance of this text message, the words that had been constantly appearing on the screen suddenly stopped in an instant.
Blocked-
In an instant, hundreds of publishers and editors in the group, large and small, came up with these two big words in their minds.
