Chapter 498: It's stiff

498

But Huaxia Bookstore didn't give up, and for the next two days, they sent people over every day in a row!

Of course, Wang Weiguo did not appear again, but sent an ordinary staff member. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Su Qin refused all.

Eleven percent of the royalties have to be exchanged for all his copyrights, which is really beautiful!

The publishing industry of the empire has always been used to monopoly and hegemony, even if it was before, but now what age is it, they still stick to the old set, it's ridiculous!

On the third day, Huaxia Bookstore sent someone over again.

This time, though, they sent a deputy general manager.

"Qin Shao, this is the third and last time that our Huaxia Bookstore has negotiated with you about related business, and after today, we won't send anyone again."

As soon as the deputy general manager met Su Qin, he immediately took on a threatening posture.

Su Qin smiled and replied without being salty or indifferent: "If Huaxia Bookstore shows enough sincerity, then of course cooperation is not impossible, but unfortunately, I don't see your sincerity." ”

"Qin Shao, we have already given you eleven percent of the royalties, this is already unprecedented, you should know that in the empire, the royalties are at most ten percent, this is a custom, everyone has to abide by it!"

Su Qin said mockingly: "If I'm not mistaken, this convention is just formulated by your Huaxia Bookstore itself!" ”

The two sides parted unhappily.

After Su Qin refused again, Huaxia Bookstore posted a message on the official website and scarf: "Tell everyone an unfortunate thing, Su Qin's novel "Bright Sword" will be lost to everyone for a long time. ”

As soon as Huaxia's scarf was released, the industry was in an uproar.

A few days ago, "Sisi has a date" has whetted everyone's appetite, but now, Huaxia Bookstore has sent a bib saying that this novel will not be published in the near future!

Who wouldn't be surprised?

"Qin Shao, this Huaxia bookstore is too deceitful, it even released this kind of bib without saying any hello to us, Qin Shao, we can't do nothing, I suggest, we immediately send a bib to clarify!"

The velvet flower was very angry, and her fair face turned red with anger.

Su Qin was also a little angry, and after thinking about it, he personally sent a scarf and said: "Today, a certain publishing house forcibly made a decision for me, and announced without authorization that my novel "Bright Sword" would not be published for the time being. Seeing this scarf, I just want to say, hehe! ”

Hehe?

Seeing these two words, netizens and people in the industry looked weird!

Hehe? What do you mean?

Someone Aite Su Qin, Qin Shao, what do these two words mean!

Su Qin then released the second scarf again: "Just now, a fan asked me, asked me what I mean, let me give you an example, you have worked hard to write a novel, and you are planning to use this novel to improve your life, of course, to realize your self-worth, but at this time, someone suddenly found you and said, give me your novel, I will help you publish it, and other matters of this novel have to be handed over to us to be responsible, I will give you 11% of the royalties, don't think it is less, I only give seven points and eight points to other people's, and I can afford you to give you eleven. You ask why, why is it so harsh, the man smiled, this is the rule, the rule set by Lao Tzu, what's the matter, not convinced? Okay, then your novel, sorry, can't meet readers for a while! We don't publish it, and other publishers don't dare to publish your novels!

At this time, what can you say, I don't know what you will do, but I will laugh twice! So, what does hehe mean, you know, right! ”

As soon as this scarf was issued, netizens were not very good, but the industry exploded!

"! It turns out that Qin Shao is also like us, he was also squeezed by those publishers! ”

"I'll just say, Qin Shao's novel..... Why can't a good one be published? ”

"This Huaxia bookstore.... It's so dark, the last time I had a book, they only gave me six percent of the royalties, and it dragged on for two years, and I found out later that they made more than five million dollars on my book! ”

Everyone was indignant.

But after calming down, there was nothing anyone could do.

The empire's publishing ecology is like this, what can be done?

Someone replied to Qin: "Qin Shao, forget it, people have a big business and a strong background, what can you do if you don't accept it?" ”

Many people followed the post below.

"Yes, Qin Shao, admit defeat, you have a stiff fight with these publishers, and you will be the one who suffers in the end!"

"People are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads!"

Everyone advised Su Qin to endure for the time being and reconcile with Huaxia Bookstore.

Ai Dong, vice president of the Beijing Writers Association, personally found Su Qin and acted as a peacemaker: "Xiao Su, I have also heard about you, and I am very angry when I see that agreement, but the ecology of the imperial publishing industry is like this, what can you do?" If you don't agree, your book won't come out in the end, so just bear with it, okay? Over there at Huaxia Bookstore, I'll help you out! ”

Su Qin smiled bitterly: "Ai Lao, but this is my hard-working work, this is my hard work, as soon as they come, they will ask for all my copyrights, and only give 11% of the royalties, if it is just published, then forget it, you can reluctantly agree, but they only give 11% of all the copyrights, isn't this a robber?" ”

The old man sighed: "Those publishers, they are a bunch of robbers, but what can be done about this! This is the reality, don't say it's you, it's me, I don't have to sign with them! What if you are not convinced? ”

Su Qin shook his head: "Ai Lao, I can't agree, before, I was unknown, and I suffered a loss, but now, I am a public figure, and I represent the entire group of writers, if I bow my head and admit defeat, people will use me to suppress other writers in the future!" ”

The old man shook his head again and again: "Xiao Su, I came to persuade you this time, just to tell you this, do you know, in the past two years, many writers have become more and more angry with the hegemony of the publishing industry, and everyone wants to resist, why is Huaxia Bookstore so strong to you now, they just want to shoot the first bird, they just want to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, so if you don't bow your head and don't reconcile with them, they will be iron-hearted to fix you!" Even if you are a star, even if you are a public figure, in front of that group of bookstore owners, don't say it's you, even the Ministry of Culture has to be soft, what can you do? ”

The old man let out a long sigh: "So, Xiao Su, listen to me, take it for the time being, you lower your head here, and then I'll go and help you fight for it, and help you get a little more benefits back, okay?" It's not good for you to get stiff! ”
