No, uncle, we don't make an appointment!

Although Yan Luo also knew that she had thrown her undescriptible oath into the Mariana Trench since the best of us finished the book, so she was always ready to release a second novel, but this was not a reason for her to hang herself on the novel.

You must know that she is also short of money now, the author needs to eat, and the author with artistic pursuits needs to eat!

"Let me think again!"

Yan Luo didn't say no words, in fact, she really needs to think about it now.

However, in Li Ming's ears, this was another form of refusal, so in order to redeem Yan Luo, he immediately came up with a killer idea.

"Yan Luo, your novel has achieved such good results in our magazine, so we decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue and publish the novel!"

"Although we don't have our own publishing house, we have been working happily with the well-known Liunian Publishing House in the industry, and now we have given your novel to the publishing house, and the other party is very interested in your novel, as long as the conditions are negotiated, there is absolutely no problem in publishing!"

The temptation of the novel's publication really made Yan fall into her heart, and she asked curiously: "What conditions, and who else will talk about the conditions?" ”

"The other party wants to talk to you face-to-face, but considering that the other party is in Shencheng, you can also hand it over to us for trouble, and we will definitely help you negotiate a reasonable price!"

"I'm in Shencheng right now, we can participate together!"

Yan Luo thought about it and did not refuse Li Ming's proposal to participate in the negotiations, but she still wanted to participate together, as a witness, after all, it was her first novel to be published.

Although Li Ming was curious about why Yan Luo was in Shencheng, since she was in Shencheng, the next thing would be much easier.

An hour after the call, Li Ming sent a message saying that he had contacted Liunian Publishing House, and the negotiator sent by the other party turned out to be Wang Xuejun, one of the three deputy editors-in-chief of their publishing house, which showed that the publishing house was very optimistic about her novel.

Then the two sides set a time and place for the meeting, at two o'clock in the afternoon at a café in the city center.

Because of the huge urban area of Shencheng and its traffic congestion, Yan Luo made a little preparation to go out after Li Ming informed her, of course, before going out, she still ran to the door of Jing Xiaojuan and Su Qingqing's house and informed them.

Before going to the city center to meet Wang Xuejun, Yan Luo had to meet with Li Ming first, after all, the two couldn't just run over to negotiate with others without communicating with anything.

Li Ming parked the car in the parking lot in front of the commercial plaza in the city center, then looked at the café on the third floor of the mall, and looked at the time again, one o'clock.

I hope Yan Luo will arrive soon, otherwise it will be embarrassing for them to arrive after Wang Xuejun.

"Wow!"

Finding that someone was knocking on the glass of his car, Li Ming turned his head to the left, only to find that it was a very beautiful girl: long silky hair, delicate and flawless appearance, and that dusty and fairy-like temperament.

Could it be that she is Yan Luo? Although he had already known that Yan Luo was only fourteen years old this year, Li Ming didn't know that she was such a beautiful fourteen-year-old girl!

"Are you Yan Luo?"

Li Ming asked in disbelief after rolling down the window.

"Well, I am!"

Yan Luo nodded lightly.

After Yan Luo sat in his co-pilot's seat, Li Ming still seemed to be in a dream, and the author he was responsible for turned out to be a beautiful woman, something that only happened to him in light novels!

Three years of blood earning, the death penalty is not lost!

I don't know why Li Ming's mind suddenly appeared with those slogans that Lolita had been shouting.

No way! I am Li Mingna, who is loyal, honest and kind!

Driving away the filth in his mind, Li Ming brewed for a while and began to discuss the publication of the novel with Yan Luo.

"Yan Luo, this time the other party sent Wang Xuejun, one of their three deputy editors-in-chief, so to speak, as long as Wang Xuejun nods, your novel can be scheduled for publication immediately, if it is just an ordinary editor, even if he is very satisfied with your novel, you need to go back and ask his boss to confirm whether it can be published."

"Do you know what this means, it means that the other party is very interested in your novel, so there is a possibility that Wang Xuejun will come out in person, and he should come over this time to directly finalize the issue of copyright sharing!"

"Then I want to know, what is your preferred share?"

After so much foreshadowing, Li Ming asked the core question.

Percentage of shares?

Yan Luo was stunned, she didn't know anything about this!

In her last life, she was immersed in online literature, and she only knew the so-called buyout, guarantee and share, and I think the share of the publishing house will not be 50%, right?

"What is the average author's share?"

Yan Luo asked.

"From five percent to twenty percent."

Li Ming explained: "Generally, the share of new books by newcomers is about 8%, and of course, it is not excluded that the publishing house with excellent works may increase the share. ”

"So my advice to you is to keep eight and fight for ten, that is, eight percent is the bottom line, and ten percent is the goal!"

Yan Luo nodded clearly, Li Ming understood what she meant, she was still a newcomer if she was not famous, and she had no bargaining power, so Yan Luo said very self-consciously that she was very satisfied with eight percent, and as for ten percent, if she could achieve the best of nature, it would be nothing if she couldn't reach it.

"Okay, now that you've agreed, let's go to the meeting place!"

The two came to the agreed café and found a corner by the window, which could not only see the scenery outside the window, but also be quiet enough. Perhaps because of the weekday, there were very few customers in the café, and the clerk came over and asked them what they were drinking, and then the two of them were the only ones left.

Li Ming looked around uncomfortably, this kind of scene of being alone with a girl seemed to be the first time for her, especially in such a quiet and romantic place, but unfortunately, the girl sitting opposite was too young!

Well? The girl who just came in, yes, the girl sitting behind Yan Luo looked good, and she was not very old, just like a flower, full of youth, looking beautiful and energetic. And it seems like she's looking at me all the time, is she attracted to me?

"Editor Li, what are you looking at?"

Seeing Li Ming looking around and sitting unsteadily, Yan Luo frowned and asked.

"Oh, there's a beautiful woman behind you looking at me, so naturally I'm going to respond to people and behave well!"

Li Ming accidentally told the truth, and when she reacted, she found that Yan Luo was looking at him with a look of contempt.

"Well, it's all my delusion, people aren't looking at me at all!"

"No, people may be looking at you!"

Yan Luo suddenly whispered: "It's just that people are curious: how can a girl like you have a girl drinking coffee with you here?" ”
