Chapter 80: Wang Xuejun
Wang Xuejun has just turned forty years old this year, which is the peak of a man's career, in fact, it is also the case, editor-in-chief Li Baohua will retire next year, and he is the person who is most likely to take over the position of editor-in-chief Li Baohua!
This time, he probably took a look at the novel recommended by the heart novel.,It's really well written.,Different from the popular youth literature now.,This kind of novel like a life account makes people feel a sense of déjà vu.,It seems that it's really the youth we have experienced.。 Therefore, Wang Xuejun immediately concluded that this novel has the possibility of a big hit, as long as it is operated properly, the publishing house will not only make a lot of money, but also further consolidate the position of the head of the Youth Uncle Publishing House, and he can sit on the coveted editor-in-chief position with this!
Therefore, although it is not necessary for him to come in person for the negotiation, he still came, so that after the work becomes popular, everyone in the publishing house will know that the results of this work are his!
At half past one, Wang Xuejun came to the agreed café, and then he saw Li Ming waving at him and a girl with her back to him.
Nodding with a smile at Li Ming, Wang Xuejun strode towards him.
When he walked up to Li Ming's side, Yan Luo also stood up at this time and smiled politely at him.
At this moment, Wang Xuejun felt that the whole world had lost its color.
He already knew that the author was an underage girl before he came, but who would have thought that she would be so beautiful: a knee-length beige down jacket on her body not only did not look bloated, but set off her more tall and slender; Under the long hair like a waterfall is a pretty face that can be blown and broken, and the delicate and white delicate skin really makes people want to go up and take a bite; Not to mention the girl's tranquil temperament, which really gives people a desire to conquer!
Wang Xuejun is an authoritarian person, this kind of person is decisive and strong in execution, and if it is bad, he is bold, and after seeing Yan Luo, he was distracted, and then quickly decided in his heart to try his best to get her, as for what novels, editors-in-chief and the like were put in second place.
"Mr. Wang, what do you drink?"
After giving Wang Xuejun to the top position, Li Ming greeted him with a courteous face.
If Yan Luo didn't come, Wang Xuejun had already politely pushed it at this time, and finally ordered a cup of coffee at random, and then he would get to the point, and began to talk about the conditions-for-tat, and finally everyone took what they needed and finalized the publication on the spot.
But at this moment and then, Wang Xuejun, who had dirty thoughts, changed his mind, so in the face of Li Ming's courtesy, he still behaved very coldly, and said bluntly:
"Editor Li, we won't come to the void!"
"I read the novels you recommended, and they are written like a running account, with no focus, no climax, and no good results after publication, so our publishing house doesn't want to publish it!"
Is this a negotiation technique? Is it possible to deliberately belittle the worthlessness of the work so that it can gain the initiative in bargaining? But the author is right next to you, and even I don't feel comfortable doing this, let alone the author himself!
After thinking about it, Li Ming decided to follow the words he had thought out in advance.
"Mr. Wang, if you came here today, it means that your society is still optimistic about this work, otherwise you don't need to come in person, right?"
"Stop!"
Wang Xuejun unceremoniously interrupted Li Ming's words.
"I'm not here this time for this novel, but I happen to be in the city center to do some errands, so I'll stop by, after all, it won't take much time to explain the truth to you, and it won't delay me much!"
At this time, even if Li Ming realized it later, he knew that what people were playing was not a means to get away with it, but to come to the real thing! This makes people uncomfortable, why don't you say it on the phone, you have to call people around, we happily came over thinking that we would all be happy, but you didn't say coldly: You can't!
You're really not here to play with us?
"Mr. Wang, there's no need to talk about it?"
Being belittled and teased like this, Li Ming's tone began to become unkind.
Wang Xuejun nodded coldly.
"Basically!"
"But after all, we have cooperated so many times with your heart novels, if you insist on publishing it, then we will also sell your face, so please Editor Li go and ask you to ask Mr. Zhang now, if he agrees, we will sacrifice our lives to accompany the gentleman!"
"Good!"
After Li Ming coldly spit out a word, he took out his mobile phone and walked outside, ready to call Zhang Liming to explain the situation, but perhaps because of his bad mood, he moved the chair to make a lot of noise when he got up, which was particularly harsh in the quiet café.
This time, Yan Luo was the only one left on the table.
When Wang Xuejun and Li Ming were negotiating just now, Yan Luo didn't say a word out of respect for Li Ming, even when Wang Xuejun was disrespectful. But this doesn't mean that she is not angry in her heart, she is a person who is more proud than anyone else, whether Wang Xuejun is for the purpose of lowering the price or really thinks that her novel is not worth mentioning, it will make her feel greatly humiliated, so no matter what the result of Li Ming's request is, she has decided never to cooperate with this publishing house!
"Yan Luo, huh?"
Yan Luo didn't want to deal with Wang Xuejun, but Wang Xuejun took the initiative to speak, and his tone and expression were like two people compared to just now, and now his tone was deliberately low and gentle, as if he wanted to show his friendliness, but looking at his smiling face so obscenely, it made Yan Luo feel quite disgusting.
"Do you want your novel to be published?"
"Although your novel does not meet the requirements of our publishing house, with my help, I guarantee that you will be able to taste what you want, and I can also give you a high share, ten percent, no, twelve percent!"
"You know that the writers who sell millions of novels get no more than that, a novel is calculated at 20 yuan a book, and if a million copies are sold, it will be 2.4 million royalties, and you can get more than 2 million after deducting taxes!"
"That's a huge sum of more than two million!"
"You also said that it is a bestseller, and my novel is just a running account, and it would be good to sell eight out of ten copies after publication!"
Yan Luo replied coldly.
"Hey!"
Wang Xuejun waved his hand.
"Don't be angry at what I just said, can I apologize?"
Wang Xuejun's tone was so exaggerated and ambiguous that it made people sick to their stomachs, but he unconsciously boasted here: "What you said is the general situation, but with my packaging and promotion, it is different!" I can put your novel in bookstores all over the country, or I can put you in the library of major e-commerce companies, and then I will ask other famous writers to write a preface for you and help you promote it, not to mention millions of copies, even tens of millions of copies are only a matter of time! ”
"With all that said, what do you want to do?" Yan Luo asked directly.
"What do you say?"
Wang Xuejun replied meaningfully.
