Chapter 112: I Can Afford It!
Qi Jie did not participate in the warm-up of the summit, but followed Sun Wanting to a conference room first.
In front of her are two choices.
This time, there are two very competitive publishing houses that strive for the publishing right of [Breaking the Sky], one has deep sales channels, and the other belongs to the kind of beginners, but there is a lot of money, but the sales channels and coverage network are shortcomings.
Sun Wanting clearly told her that the reason why this publishing house is willing to spend money on [Breaking the Sky] is to open up the situation through this phenomenal web novel.
At present, [Breaking the Sky] is not counting the PC side, and the number of clicks in the wireless base has reached an unbelievable level, and it is initially estimated that the wireless APP alone can earn at least 10 million! Of course, it will take quite some time for this money to be delivered.
According to the usual practice, the remuneration of the wireless base is generally settled in half a year, and it is just in time for the second half of the year when the wireless is broken through the sky, so this money will not really belong to Qi Jie until June or July at the earliest.
Sun Wanting gave Qi Jie the truth, also for her sake. After all, one has channels and one has more money, everyone's choice will be different, all she can do is analyze the pros and cons.
"Can I meet them first?"
Qi Jie asked.
Sun Wanting nodded, this is the author's own right.
However, in this case, the author will generally choose the former, after all, like Qi Jie's case, the amount of money is not the first consideration, how to expand fame is the most important.
Sun Wanting took her to the next door, it turned out that the one just now was to give her a vaccination, and Qi Jie wrote down the other party's intentions in her heart.
There was a person sitting on the left and right sides of the conference room, one looking polite and the other ...... Qi Jie didn't know how to describe it, anyway, looking at his fat head and big face, hanging a gold chain the thickness of his fingers, and eight of his ten fingers with rings, it didn't look like he had anything to do with literature.
"Miss Qi, hello."
Qi Jie nodded, the other party seemed to be polite, and the tone of his voice was also very good-looking, and he knew that he had received special training at a glance.
"That's what you wrote [Breaking the Sky]?" The toad-like guy over there took the cigar away from his mouth and asked.
Qi Jie also smiled and nodded.
"I'd like to talk to them individually, okay?"
"Of course, then you can talk to Mr. Lai first, and I'll take Mr. Jin out first."
Sun Wanting agreed with a smile. Although the golden fat man who looked like a toad was not happy, he was not more serious about it.
just shouted at Qi Jie when he was about to go out: "No matter how much this guy is out, I have more than him!" You have to choose me! ”
In this regard, Mr. Lai, who was polite and polite, just smiled.
There was contempt and disdain in this smile.
"Miss Qi, I am here to talk to you on behalf of the publishing house about the publication of [Breaking the Firmament], my surname is Lai, and I hope to talk to you in detail about this novel."
Qi Jie nodded and put her hands on the conference table.
"Before I came, I believe you have seen the resumes of our two companies, and it is very clear that our publishing house is far better than Mr. Jin just now in terms of sales channels and coverage networks, I can tell you this, publishing, we are experts, he is just a layman."
"I don't know much about these things, so let's talk about publishing first." Because she was in a hurry, she hadn't seen any resume yet.
"What we give you is two sets of plans, one is a buyout, and the other is a share."
Qi Jie listened very carefully.
"Let's talk about the buyout first, at present, the buyout of first-line authors generally fluctuates at 150-200 per thousand words, and after our internal discussions, the president decided to give [Dou Breaking the Sky] a buyout price of up to 200."
"What about the other one?"
"The second is to divide it, we will give Miss Qi 10%-14% of the share depending on the situation, in fact, this plan is similar to a buyout, and it is basically the treatment of a first-line writer."
Qi Jie nodded, she had communicated with Mr. An about this. Although this other party is suspected of exaggeration, it is always within an acceptable range. Of course, this refers to the premise that [Breaking the Sky] has the same sales volume as other books.
But will the sales of [Breaking the Sky] be so mediocre?
Mr. Lai is full of confidence: "I don't think Miss Qi, you don't have to think about it, I believe that no publishing house can exceed this price, of course, the layman doesn't count, he may give you more money, but without sales channels and coverage networks, everything is empty talk." ”
Qi Jie didn't refute, just smiled and said, "I'll think about it again." ”
The smile on Mr. Lai's face froze, and then he snorted coldly when Qi Jie wasn't paying attention.
"Miss Qi, there is a reason why we give you this high price, one of our subordinate publishing houses may have some misunderstandings with you, if you plan to sign a contract with us, I hope that the matter between you and Daxiang Publishing House will be diluted as much as possible, after all, we will be a family in the future."
Qi Jie slowly turned her head, looked at the other party's face that looked gloomy because of the light, and slowly frowned.
"What if I don't say yes?"
"Daxiang is just one of our subsidiaries, and I can tell you that if you sign up with other publishers, then there may be some non-human obstacles in terms of publicity and sales. After all, a plagiarism hat is deadly for both the author and the publisher. ”
"What about me?"
"That's why we're giving you this price."
Qi Jie stood up, the sunlight was cut into a pillar of light because of the curtains, and the fine dust in the conference room rolled wantonly, and in the square pillar of light, these dusts seemed to have life.
When Qi Jie stood up, he was standing in the middle, dark and bright, and there was a smell of mud without staining.
"Two hundred words in a thousand words, divided into 14%, do you think it's very high?"
The man surnamed Lai frowned.
"Maybe you don't know much about online texts."
Qi Jie faced the front, and the whole person was exposed under the pillar of light, and the man surnamed Lai had to cover it with his hand to barely see the girl's expression.
A very confident, very stubborn look appeared between her eyebrows.
"Breaking the sky has billions of clicks on the wireless base APP, and the whole number is still growing, and my own remuneration on the PC side has reached one million as of last month, and I am talking about one month."
"You tell me now, 200 thousand words, 14%, maybe less. Do you know how much time you've wasted on me? Let's calculate according to the time of a chapter, my hand speed is more than a few thousand words an hour, and according to the close to 100,000 subscriptions, how many do you say? Now that you're so stabbing that you've given me a sky-high price, do I need it? ”
"And what's your salary?"
The man surnamed Lai's face was pale, he really didn't care about online novels, and the data that Qi Jie gave him was really a little shocked.
"Physical publishing is different from electronic copyright, don't you understand?" He almost gritted his teeth.
"So what?"
"You'll regret it!"
"I can afford it"
"Okay, well, then you just wait for your bad book to not sell!" The man surnamed Lai looked angry.
