Chapter 40: The Publisher Comes From
When they arrived at the old black bookstore, they found that the most conspicuous books on the shelves of the store had been replaced with golden plums, the cover looked very attentive, and the packaging was very beautiful, and the old black was sitting on the counter and did not know what he was doing, only to see half of the greasy Mediterranean with his head bowed and laughing lewdly from time to time.
When they took a closer look, they realized......
I'm counting the money!
"Looks like you're making a lot of money." Wang Daolin picked up the water cup on the counter and took a sip of water, and said faintly, but Lao Hei was startled, and quickly put away the banknotes on the table, only to find that the person who spoke was him, and his face was embarrassed.
"You're here." Lao Hei's muscles instantly relaxed, and he said to him with a flattering smile: "Thanks to you, the Golden Bottle Plum has really become a bestseller!" If you want to say what is the hottest word in this week, it must be the golden bottle plum, the little brother is talented, and the elder brother admires! โ
"Poofโcough, cough, cough, cough......"
Little brother? Brother?
Lao Tzu's two lifetimes of age add up to a round younger than you, are you embarrassed to call me little brother and call yourself my brother?
Lao Hei's shameless almost choked him to death, and the water that he drank halfway directly sprayed Lao Hei's face, and Lao Hei wiped his face with an innocent face.
"How's going on with the publishing house?" Wang Daolin didn't talk much, and went straight to the point.
Hearing this, Lao Hei puffed out his chest and said, "I, Lao Hei, will never break my promise to others!" I've already put you in touch with the publisher, and they'll be here in a moment. โ
"That's good." Wang Daolin nodded.
"You talk." Li Dayi listened to it on the side, and when he found that he didn't understand, he ran to the side to look for something to read.
Lao Hei just glanced at Li Dayi and went with him, now that he is a best-selling author, he is naturally no longer as careful as before.
He glanced at Wang Daolin, then at the money on the table, and suddenly divided half of it, nodded and said to Wang Daolin: "This is the dividend promised to you before, because there is only one volume, and the circulation at the beginning is not high, so I only received 10,000 yuan, here are 5,000, you order?" โ
Wang Daolin glanced at the stack of money in Lao Hei's hand, and then looked at Lao Hei, although he saw a trace of reluctance in Lao Hei's eyes, but more sincerity and firmness.
Smiling, Wang Daolin pushed the money back, and Lao Hei was stunned.
"What are you?" โ
"You take the money first, it's useless to ask for so much money now, you help me get a mobile phone and calling card first, it's too inconvenient to be isolated from the outside world all the time." Wang Daolin said.
Lao Hei was stunned, looked at him deeply, and then nodded, "Okay!" Then I'll put the money here first, and then you can get it when you need it. โ
"Hmm." Wang Daolin nodded, and at the same time, the iron door of the bookstore was pulled open.
Two people entered, one fat and one thin, and although the fat man was wearing a crisp suit, he couldn't hide his protruding beer belly. And the thin man and the fat man also look very handsome when they stand together, and the suit on him is quite aristocratic.
The fat man was obviously in the lead, because the fat man had nothing in his hand, while the thin man stood respectfully behind the fat man, slightly half a position behind the fat man, and still held a black document bag in his hand.
As soon as he entered the door, the fat man shouted loudly: "Old black! I'm here for you! โ
Immediately, the fat man's gaze fell on Wang Daolin, but it just swept away and fell on Lao Hei.
Lao Hei hurriedly stood up and whispered to Wang Daolin: "He is the editor-in-chief Sun of Changkong Publishing House, who is responsible for receiving the manuscript." โ
"The ...... of the Sky Publishing House" Wang Daolin recounted, the Sky Publishing House is also one of the large publishing houses, and has published many best-selling books, but he didn't expect that the publishing house in Lao Hei's mouth was actually a behemoth like the Sky Publishing House.
Lao Hei just informed him and hurriedly greeted Editor-in-Chief Sun, and said politely: "Oh, Editor-in-Chief Sun is here, why don't you say it in advance, I'd better prepare in advance, you see I'm messing here." โ
Editor-in-Chief Sun waved his hand directly and said, "Don't follow me all these vain heads, and skip the polite words directly, what about others?" โ
Lao Hei was stunned: "People? Who? โ
"Didn't you tell me that there was a talented person who wanted to cooperate with our publishing house! Why else do you think I'm here? Editor-in-Chief Sun's face sank directly, obviously feeling that Lao Hei was deceiving him.
Lao Hei slapped his forehead when he heard this, and said guiltily: "Editor-in-chief Sun, you are quick to talk, I haven't reacted to it all of a sudden, I'm embarrassed, I'm embarrassed......"
As he spoke, he pointed to Wang Daolin and introduced, "Na, the capable person I told you is this little brother." โ
"Him?"
Editor-in-Chief Sun glanced at Wang Daolin and was stunned for a moment, then showed a strange expression, and then laughed.
"He's a little kid who you call a capable person? Phew! Isn't it fun to play tricks! Editor-in-Chief Sun sneered.
After speaking, he walked to Wang Daolin, looked him up and down, squatted down, patted his face and said contemptuously: "Child, have you grown hair?" โ
After speaking, he straightened up and laughed a few times, and then sank his face: "Old Hei, you disappointed me!" โ
When Lao Hei heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Editor-in-Chief Sun, I'm not joking with you!" It's this guy who helped me...... Change...... Changed the golden vase plum! โ
Lao Hei said and glanced at Wang Daolin cautiously, Wang Daolin shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind, but his face also turned cold.
"If you have ambitions, you are not old, and if you have no ambitions, you are a hundred years old, Editor-in-Chief Sun, you judge people by their appearance, it doesn't seem like much, right?" The corners of Wang Daolin's mouth pulled up slightly, and he said lightly.
"Yo!" Editor-in-Chief Sun was stunned for a moment and said: "Little guy, what an ambitious person is not a hundred years old, who taught you this?" โ
Wang Daolin smiled again: "Young people are easy to learn and difficult to learn, and not an inch of time is indispensable, why do you think that others taught me, not me?" โ
Editor-in-Chief Sun was stunned again, if this was said by an adult, it would be fine, but when the above words came out of a child's mouth, it was worth his attention.
Wang Daolin also noticed the change in Editor-in-Chief Sun's expression, and secretly accused Song Jiewen, Zhu Xi and other bigwigs in his heart, and immediately thought quietly:
Young people are not afraid of the old,
Sing all over the world.
How many things are not solved in the road ahead,
I want to try higher than the blue sky!
"Good! A good young man is not afraid of the old rivers and lakes, and he wants to compete with Qingtian! As soon as he finished speaking, the young man, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, clapping and looking at him with a deep appreciation in his eyes.
"I have read hundreds of books since I was a child, but I have never heard such a good sentence, the little brother is eloquent and admired every word!" The young man praised him without hesitation.
At the same time, Wang Daolin could also feel a different momentum from the young man in front of him.
This young man is definitely not an ordinary follower!
