Chapter 103: Bargaining

"I can't accept a royalty of 8 points." Wang Daolin said lightly.

"I can't accept a 12% royalty, so the pressure on the publisher is too great!" Su Hang said with a gloomy face.

Lao Hei watched the strong smell of fireworks between the two on the side, and his heart suddenly struck.

This is the rhythm of the collapse!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but complain a little about Wang Daolin, in his opinion, 8% of the royalties are already very good, and the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant!

Instinctively wanted to open his mouth to persuade Wang Daolin, but when he saw the strong confidence on Wang Daolin's face, he closed his mouth again and chose to believe in Wang Daolin.

He didn't know where his blind confidence in Wang Daolin came from, but Wang Daolin never seemed to disappoint him.

Wang Daolin and Su Hang confronted each other for a long time, and finally Wang Daolin smiled faintly, the smile on his face was like a spring breeze: "It's better to do this, let's give in, hello and I'm good." ”

Seeing that Wang Daolin was finally willing to give in, Lao Hei was also relieved, the Publishing House of the High School Affiliated to Normal University was already the best choice, and it was better to agree to the conditions of Suzhou and Hangzhou if he could.

"Royalty 10?" Su Hang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and guessed.

However, he immediately waved his hand again and again: "No, royalty 8 is already the bottom line we can afford." ”

"Who told you it was such a compromise?" Wang Daolin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I didn't pursue it in the eyes of my brother?" ”

"Or else?" Su Hang looked at Wang Daolin's expression, and the second monk was a little confused.

Wang Daolin said eloquently: "Brother is nothing more than worried about the bad response of the market, after all, overhead is a completely unknown field, so let's take a step back and step royalties!" ”

Listening to Wang Daolin's words, Su Hang suddenly realized that if it weren't for Wang Daolin's reminder, he would have almost forgotten that there was still a ladder royalty.

Indeed, when the price of the two sides cannot be negotiated, the ladder royalty is a relatively fair way.

"Well, 8% for 5,000 copies, 10% for 10,000 copies, 12% for 20,000 or more, what do you think?" Su Hang thought about it for a long time before finally giving such an offer.

In all fairness, this is a fair offer, and the 12-point royalty may not be available to many depressed writers for the rest of their lives.

Seeing that Lao Hei was about to smile crookedly, he knew that Su Hang had treated Wang Daolin very favorably.

However, what is surprising is that Wang Daolin still shook his head!

Is Wang Daolin still not satisfied with such an offer?

"Brother, you're going too far!" Su Hang's face sank completely: "You go to other publishing houses and ask, see if anyone can give you such an offer!" ”

"Don't worry, brother!" Wang Daolin said unhurriedly: "I mean I can't let my brother suffer, how about you listen to my offer?" ”

Seeing that Wang Daolin didn't seem to have the meaning of the lion's big mouth, Su Hang's face looked better, and he said in a deep voice: "Listen up!" ”

"6% for more than 10,000 copies, 8% for more than 20,000 copies, 10% for more than 30,000 copies, 12% for more than 40,000 copies, 14% for more than 50,000 copies! More than 100,000 copies......

Per cent! What do you think? ”

"Twenty percent!" Su Hang couldn't sit still at all, what Wang Daolin said earlier was actually fine, and even he wondered if Wang Daolin had changed sex.

But the more he heard it, the more ugly Su Hang's face became.

Twenty percent, that's a sky-high royalty!

If it weren't for the like-mindedness with Wang Daolin, he would definitely blow up Wang Daolin's dog head!

Lao Hei's face also became extremely strange, Wang Daolin might as well go and grab it directly, so that the money would come faster.

Unless Su Hang is a fool, it is impossible to agree!

Wang Daolin seemed to have expected Su Hang's reaction, but in his opinion, the offer he gave was not a problem at all.

immediately explained: "Actually, Editor-in-Chief Su should not be frightened by the 20 royalties I gave at the end, you must know that the first print of Editor-in-Chief Liu of Changkong was 50,000 yuan. ”

"Editor-in-chief Liu of the sky? Liu Yongchao? Su Hang was stunned.

"Yes, I believe that Editor-in-Chief Liu's vision should not be bad. Besides, if the sales are not good, the price I give you is also very low, the lowest is only 6%, isn't it?

And 50,000 copies is already a super bestseller print, if you can really sell 50,000 copies, 14% of the royalty is not too difficult, as for 100,000 copies, you must know very well what it means.

Although the 20% royalty is a bit higher, the publisher can still make some money, in short, this is very fair to both of us, how much royalty my book is worth, let the market to test! The way Wang Dao talked about it made Su Hang's heart feel sideways.

I have to admit that what Wang Daolin said is indeed very reasonable, and the price is just pressed on the point, which can be said to be very vicious.

With a wry smile, Su Hang said, "Are you so confident in yourself?" ”

"Not in myself, but in my books!" Wang Daolin said loudly.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as one of the four famous novels, if he doesn't catch fire in this world where entertainment is scarce, he will twist his head off and kick it as a ball!

In the previous life, in the context of the popularity of online literature, the fast-paced style of pretending to slap the face was the mainstream, which led to the fact that not so many people read traditional masterpieces.

Even some children don't even know the four famous books!

The times are developing, science and technology are advancing, culture is being lost, and traditions are disappearing, and all of this makes him sad.

Of course, not all traditional culture can be carried forward, such as three wives and four concubines, such as the emperor's grace, and further, not all historical culture is traditional culture.

But more traditional cultures, such as Guan Guan Ju dove, are innocent and simple in Hezhizhou; The long way to go; the ambition of facing Jieshi in the east to view the sea; Mo Dao Sangyu is late, calm and calm for the Xia Shang full sky......

These are the flavors of life, culture, and national spirit!

These are all things that need to be carried forward by him.

And in this life, since he has crossed into such a world, even if he doesn't have that obligation, even if he doesn't have that ability, even if it's actually a virgin!

But that's what he thought in his heart.

Because he is a Chinese in his bones, a descendant of the dragon!

National pride and national glory have been deeply engraved in his bones.

The publication of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is just the beginning, not the end!

Su Hang was silent for a long time, his eyes flashed with a struggling light, as the editor-in-chief, he had too many things to consider, the most important thing was the assessment of risks.

He needs to think about it......

Wang Daolin was not in a hurry, just sat on the sofa so loudly, his fingers were rhythmically tapping on his legs, taking a sip of tea from time to time, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

Lao Hei's heart was about to jump out, and from time to time he looked at Su Hang and then at Wang Daolin, and he had to sigh in his heart:

Compared with Wang Daolin's composure, his psychological quality is not up to par.

After a long time, Su Hang finally spoke.

"You've won!"
