Chapter 40: Happy Cooperation

Ishisaka nodded heavily, then took the file bag and took out the outline and worldview printed on a few sheets of paper and looked at it carefully.

Takuno Takenaka held his chin and casually looked at the young editor's expression and demeanor, he was not too anxious to let the editor of Ishizaka quickly read the outline and setting, since the other party had high hopes for him, he naturally had to show a different value.

He sighed, this young editor is really a little too young, although he came here as a light novel writer, but signing the contract itself is a process of blackmailing and negotiating with each other, and the other party said his importance so quickly, it was like forcing himself to knock her hard.

Ishisaka Mayu frowned, then raised his head stiffly, looked at Takudo Takenaka, and said, "Mr. Takenaka, I took the initiative to change the royalty to 12.5%, and give you an extra percentage point." But I hope that there can be an additional clause in the contract, if you have a next work, it is better to give priority to our Blue Horn Bunko. ”

If you only give a passing score of 60 points to the content copied by Takechu Takufu, then the plot on this outline can be scored a full 90 points.

He doesn't quite understand what the level of royalties for writers is, but looking at Ishizaka's expression, it seems that he has made great concessions, so there is no need for him to chase after them.

I just came with the mentality of earning pocket money, and it doesn't matter if I earn more or less, as long as I can ensure that the minimum income can keep me fed and drunk.

If he can continue to maintain his grades next year, Nagasawa Private High School will give him a generous scholarship without hesitation.

Takuto Takenaka is now the fourth in the school, but by then he will probably be able to reach the first place in the school, and with an annual scholarship of 800,000 yuan plus royalties, it is difficult to think of a good life.

So he smiled and said, "Editor Ishizaka, then you go and print the new contract, I'll sit here and wait for you." If you still have some time, I'd like to tell me a little bit about the 'popularity score' part of the Newcomer Awards, because the beginning of my book is relatively slow and probably won't get too high a score. ”

Although the other party needs himself now, he is not the kind of guy who is carried away by interests.

Taku Takenaka knows very well that the editorial department's demand for his book lies in the subject matter and content, and the editors have always been forward-looking for the market, and they may feel that their book can be used as a pig on the tuyere to soar directly to 90,000 miles, but in fact, this is just a small attempt for them, even if their book sales are not high, the editorial department will not have much loss.

But if I blindly believe that this book will sell hundreds of thousands and millions of people because of this, and because of this, I give up my studies and plan to spend my life by copying books, it would be a bit stupid. For the editor, it's work, but for him, it's just about reclaiming the knowledge he inherited from another world.

Shinyu Ishisaka quickly tapped the keyboard a few times, then unplugged the USB flash drive from the computer and plugged it into the printer placed in the corner of the office, which she expertly operated to print two new contracts in just a few seconds.

Printers are often used in the editorial department, and this kind of large printer is very efficient, and the two contracts are not printed in batches like those small printers, but directly printed together.

"Mr. Takenaka, if you take a look at the new contract, it should be fine." She rolled the contract into a paper tube and knocked it a few times on the table in front of Taku Takenaka, attracting Taku's attention and then said gently, "If you don't rush back, I'll treat you to a meal tonight, okay?" Our company will reimburse the fare, you can hand in the ticket in the future tense to the front desk, we will have a professional staff to calculate, you can take the Shinkansen when you go back. ”

It turned out that he could still be reimbursed, so his biggest expense this time was gone, and he could experience the taste of taking the Shinkansen once at night, he almost laughed out loud for a while. Miwako Akihara's expenses will be good to find her sister directly when the time comes, and I don't believe that little Sadako will not pay!

Taku Takenaka looked up at this time, and saw that the editor looked eager, and he was not embarrassed to refuse the invitation to dinner.

Not only can you experience the neon Shinkansen for free, but you can also have a nice dinner, which is really cool!

He chuckled and nodded, and then he was embarrassed to sign directly, neon people have a unique seal culture, but the original owner seems to have no seal, he patronized and studied after he came, and he didn't bother with this kind of place, and I don't know if this contract can be signed directly without a seal.

So he asked in a low voice, "I don't have a seal, I can sign it directly." ”

I finally ran away, and if I didn't succeed in signing the contract because of the seal problem, it would be crazy!

But the answer given by Mayu Ishisaka did not disappoint him, and the young editor smiled and said, "Of course, Mr. Takenaka, you can just sign your name on it." Future manuscripts can be sent directly to my e-mail, and I will help you contact the illustrator after a while, and please communicate with the illustrator about the character setting at that time. ”

Taku Takenaka looked at the content of the contract again, and found that in addition to the change in royalties, there was one more article at the bottom than before, which was similar to what Ishisaka Mayuki just said, that is, if he had a new work, he would give priority to the Aikaku Bunko.

It's nothing, he doesn't have a lot of things in his head, but it's not too little, and although he might forget them at any time, it's not too much of a problem to pull out something and write two or three books for the time being. I don't plan to take this as a main job, but it's not bad to treat it as a part-time job, not only is the job very decent, but the income is quite large.

He mentioned the black signature pen and signed his name at the end of the contract, his own handwriting is not very good-looking, but in his previous life, he also deliberately learned calligraphy in order to get a score in the exam, and he is considered to be at the upper middle level among neon students, at least it is not too embarrassing.

Shinyu Ishisaka looked carefully at the name that Taku Takenaka had signed on the paper, and after thinking for a moment, he still didn't ask about his guardian. Royalty sharing contracts are actually a little different from writing contracts, with less strict rules and a few loopholes to exploit.

She shook Takutaka Takenaka's hand, squeezed it very hard, and then shook it vigorously a few times, signaling that the two sides were happy to cooperate.
