Chapter 276: Negotiation

Zhao Qingyu thought of some gossip posts he saw in the school forum a few days ago, about female college students being taken care of by people outside the school, and there were several pictures of various luxury cars parked under the building of the girls' dormitory.

It's impossible to talk about being a thief, but she always feels that people passing by seem to look at Chen Jiawen with something in their eyes.

No, she's obviously here to get down to business!

So she took a deep breath, and walked over to greet her with her head raised and her chest straight: "Hello Senior Chen, I'll go up and put the book away first, and I'll be here right away." ”

"There aren't many books, so it's okay to bring them." Chen Jiawen glanced at the two textbooks that Zhao Qingyu was holding in front of him, and said with a smile, "It's too troublesome to go up and down." ”

Zhao Qingyu shook his head and insisted: "That's not good, since it's a matter of negotiating a contract, I have to go back and get a specific sample to negotiate." ”

Chen Jiawen smiled dumbly, it turned out that this was the case, thinking that she came to find herself, she also brought a contract.

"Well, you don't have to be in a hurry."

"Okay."

Zhao Qingyu turned around and walked briskly towards the dormitory building, there were a few girls who deliberately slowed down and eavesdropped next to them, and after hearing the words "contract" and "sample", the fire of gossip in their eyes was extinguished, but another kind of envy and jealousy appeared more or less on their faces.

"She seems to be the girl who wrote it."

"It's not like, it's just, I heard it, and people are going to talk about the contract again."

"I'm also a freshman, don't let my mom know about it, or she'll say I'm a waste again."

"Poof......

A few people gradually drifted away, Zhao Qingyu trotted all the way back to the bedroom, turned over his bag, and brought the several contracts he had drafted before.

After going downstairs, Chen Jiawen was still on the phone, and when he saw her, he nodded, opened the co-pilot's seat and motioned for her to go in.

Zhao Qingyu waved his hand, directly opened the door behind him, and got in.

Chen Jiawen raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he didn't say anything, and said to the other end of the phone: "We are still at school, we will be there in half an hour, you go and choose a place first." ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone, closed the co-pilot's door, and entered the driver's seat from the other side.

The co-pilot is the most dangerous place, even if he usually sits in the car, Zhao Qingyu will deliberately sit in the back, unless there is really no place.

The car started, Zhao Qingyu looked at Chen Jiawen in front of him, he didn't mention what happened just now, but she felt that she should still explain something.

"Hmm, I read in the magazine that the co-pilot is the most dangerous position...... Zhao Qingyu said casually, but his eyes were still staring at the rearview mirror in front of him, wanting to see Chen Jiawen's reaction.

"Oh?" Chen Jiawen smiled dumbly, "It turns out that you don't sit next to me because of this." ”

Zhao Qingyu nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, I regret my life." ”

"Hehe......"

Chen Jiawen couldn't help but chuckle, indeed, the first thing Zhao Qingyu did every time he sat in his car was to wear a seat belt, and the last time the two of them had dinner in Xiaoxichuan, he wanted to drink some wine, but she resolutely stopped him.

Drunk driving is not advisable.

She said very seriously.

It seems that she is not a little girl who has never been in the world, he is the disobedient hairy child.

So that day, for the first time, he didn't drink.

"Then when you go to dinner today, are you not letting me drink again?" After Chen Jiawen smiled, the corners of his mouth were still upturned.

Zhao Qingyu was stunned, and then reacted: "Anyway, if you want to drive, you can't drink." ”

Chen Jiawen didn't speak, just looked at her with a smile in his eyes through the rearview mirror.

Zhao Qingyu blinked his eyes, and Chen Jiawen smiled even deeper.

This time, I didn't eat in Xiaoxichuan, but chose a western restaurant in a very hot pedestrian street nearby.

The name of the western restaurant is also very special, called FM108, which looks like a radio channel.

Seeing her staring at the signboard at the door, Chen Jiawen explained with a smile: "This is our radio station, and so is the bar next to it." ”

Zhao Qingyu followed his finger and looked over, and sure enough, there was also a bar with the same name next to the Western restaurant, but the signboard was full of small colored lights of different colors, and the style was different from the outside.

She remembered that when she used to listen to radio, there would often be hosts advertising some local stores, and she never thought that there would be people who took the initiative to open stores.

The two walked in side by side, the environment inside was very elegant, and the light music flowed lightly, which was already a very high-end place in this period.

Chen Jiawen led her to a booth by the window, where a man about his age was already sitting.

"Old Willow." Chen Jiawen smiled and went over to greet the man.

The man got up with a smile and waved his hand to Chen Jiawen: "How many times have you said it, if you call me Su Chi, can't you call me younger?" ”

His voice was a little hoarse, it was an authentic big smoke, when Zhao Qingyu talked to him before, he thought that the other party was a forty or fifty-year-old man, but he didn't expect that he was an elegant big brother like Chen Jiawen.

It's just that he also wears a pair of thin-rimmed gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair is meticulously combed with hairspray.

Coupled with the fact that he is now wearing an overcoat and a trench coat, Zhao Qingyu even has a feeling that this person will not cause disobedience even when he travels to the Republic of China.

"Hello, I'm Liu Suchi, and I'm the editorial consultant of the Provincial City Publishing House." After joking with Chen Jiawen, Liu Suchi turned his head to say hello to Zhao Qingyu.

Zhao Qingyu pursed his lips and showed a standard professional smile: "Hello, my name is Zhao Qingyu, fortunately." ”

She shouted Xinghui in her mouth, but she was muttering in her heart, looking at such a gentleman, how could he have an aggressive attitude on the phone.

The first official meeting, the two behaved very mildly and politely.

Chen Jiawen invited Zhao Qingyu to sit down, and said with a smile: "We have to talk about business, but we also have to eat, Qingyu has just finished class, and she hasn't eaten at night." ”

"That's ......," Liu Suchi called to the waiter, brought the menu, and asked them what they wanted to eat.

Zhao Qingyu ordered pasta, steak, and a fruit salad, which were actually very simple foods, but eating this kind of thing at this time represented the superiority.

The booth where they are located is in a good location, Liu Suchi is facing away from the door, a large vase is placed, the branches and leaves of huge palm plants block most of the view of the door, and people can be seen coming and going outside the floor-to-ceiling windows on the side.

Now that the food has not come up, Liu Suchi noticed Zhao Qingyu's gaze looking around, and asked a little proudly, "How is this place?" ”

"Pretty good." Zhao Qingyu told the truth.

"Hey, I helped plan the decoration style of this store." Liu Suchi said again.

Zhao Qingyu naturally praised this big guy again.

She was now convinced that this person was the same person she had spoken to the other day, and the rhetoric between the words was exactly the same.

Anyway, it's not about business now, and she's happy to play an innocent little girl to satisfy the eagerness of a certain consultant's braggart.

Chen Jiawen next to him shook his head helplessly.

The food was quickly served, Liu Suchi asked for another bottle of red wine, and was about to pour a glass for Chen Jiawen and Zhao Qingyu, but heard Chen Jiawen say: "I have to drive later, I can't drink." ”

Liu Suchi disagreed: "It's just red wine, it's not a big deal to drink a little." Then he went to pour him wine.

Who knew that Chen Jiawen stretched out his hand to block the wine glass, called the waiter, and asked for a cup of coffee.

At this time, Liu Suchi was really shocked, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, withdrew his hand to pour wine for Chen Jiawen, and turned to look at Zhao Qingyu on the side: "You also want to drink coffee?" ”

Zhao Qingyu smiled: "I can drink a little red wine." ”

Chen Jiawen next to him didn't speak, just picked up the sugar cube on the side and put it into the coffee, stirring it slowly.

Hearing her words, Liu Suchi breathed a sigh of relief, the purpose of his coming was to talk to Zhao Qingyu about publishing, if the other party didn't even drink a little wine with him, he had to wonder if the other party came to talk to him with sincerity.

Sure enough, it's a deep-rooted traditional thinking.

Zhao Qingyu can see that he may not be able to eat well tonight.

It was exactly what she thought, before she picked up the knife and fork and took a few bites, Liu Suchi kept pouring her wine, and even Chen Jiawen next to her couldn't stand it, "She's still a student, not the wine jars you usually see." ”

"It's okay, tomorrow and Saturday, we don't have to go to class, so it's okay to drink more, right?" Liu Suchi snorted and shouted to the waiter to ask for a bottle of red wine.

Although the degree of red wine is only a dozen degrees, you will still get drunk if you drink too much.

Zhao Qingyu knows this very well, but she is not false for the time being, although she doesn't like to drink, her alcohol consumption has always been very good, and it is not even ordinarily good.

In the previous life, she handled many of the company's entertainments.

The reason why she doesn't like to drink alcohol is that she can't taste it at all, and in her opinion it is not even a tenth of the soda.

But this kind of red wine is a little sweet, probably because she thought that she was a girl, and Liu Suchi specially chose this kind.

Zhao Qingyu really took a big sip of this thing as a drink, and Liu Suchi and Chen Jiawen were stunned.

"See? Mr. Zhao's alcohol consumption is good. Liu Suchi seemed to be a little drunk, shouting heroically, completely lacking his literati demeanor.

Chen Jiawen shook his head helplessly and reminded: "Can you still talk about business if you drink it again?" ”

Liu Suchi hadn't spoken yet, but Zhao Qingyu said leisurely: "It's okay, I never sign a contract when I drink." ”

She could see that this Liu Suchi was playing something in her heart, and wanted to make her dizzy first before signing the contract, she had met a lot of people like this in her previous life.

As for never signing a contract when drinking, this is just what Zhao Qingyu said deliberately, anyway, she has so many choices, and she doesn't necessarily have to do it in this kind of drinking game.

Especially when the other party doesn't talk about anything and is bent on drinking.

probably didn't expect Zhao Qingyu to say this, and the two men were stunned.

Zhao Qingyu smiled again: "Don't worry, not signing a contract doesn't mean not talking about business, Consultant Liu, are you right?" ”

“…… Yes, yes. Liu Suchi also woke up a little at this time, he didn't expect this little girl's vigilance to be so high.

After that, Liu Suchi did not continue to pour wine meaninglessly, and began to talk to Zhao Qingyu in detail about some issues about the new publication.

Speaking of this, Zhao Qingyu really couldn't eat, Liu Suchi was really dark-hearted, and the conditions listed sounded very good, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is a trap.

Zhao Qingyu will not be fooled, she clicked a few of them: "This one doesn't work, this one doesn't work, this one doesn't work...... After reading it for a while, she suddenly shook her head, "Alas, there are few articles in your draft contract that you can read." ”

Liu Suchi's face was a little ugly, he glanced at Chen Jiawen, who was silent next to him, forced a smile to himself, and said in a dumb voice: "Why are there few that can be read." ”

Zhao Qingyu smiled and said nothing, took out the contract he had drafted, and pushed it in front of Liu Suchi: "If Consultant Liu still wants to talk about it again, you can try to see this one of mine." ”

Liu Suchi didn't speak, and took the somewhat thick document in Zhao Qingyu's hand.

This was printed electronically in advance, a total of ten or twenty sheets, and each page clearly drew up various regulations and terms, and even some details that he did not expect were written in it.

With such a contract, there is no way to play a marginal game.

Everything was clearly laid out on the table.

Even many of the clauses in it are completely different from his, and the opinions are even contradictory.

No wonder Chen Jiawen made himself mentally prepared and tried to be as honest as possible, although he had spoken with Zhao Qingyu on the phone several times before, he basically said that she listened, and he didn't listen to the other party's opinions.

Now that I think about it, it turns out that people don't look down on what he talks about at all, and they don't want to deal with themselves.

Still, he still has to fight for it.

"Are you sure you want this? If you buy it out as a lump sum, we can pay you...... One hundred and fifty thousand. Liu Suchi originally wanted to say 100,000 yuan, but suddenly thought that Chen Jiawen and their radio station paid Zhao Qingyu 20,000 yuan, and they only had the right to use it for three years, so he unconsciously added another 50,000.

After finishing speaking, he secretly looked at Zhao Qingyu's expression, the other party smiled slightly, and did not have the imaginary surprise overflowing, and secretly regretted it in his heart, and sure enough, this number did not impress this little girl.

But if you give more...... I always feel weird in my heart, his monthly salary is only four figures, and he still belongs to the white-collar class, this little girl has 150,000 yuan is enough, okay, a suite in the central city of the provincial capital.

Chen Jiawen saw that the atmosphere was a little stagnant, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Qingyu: "Qingyu, what do you think of what Lao Liu said?" ”

"Still don't." Zhao Qingyu shook her head, not to mention that the copyright fee has to be given to the online platform, even if she doesn't draw it, she can earn back the hundreds of thousands of dollars casually, and there is no need to lose a lot because of a small loss.

"Why ......," Liu Suchi couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Qingyu smiled: "Because I have applied for the registration of works like Guo Jia Copyright Office, these things I like very much, I will not give up easily." ”

"Then did you publish your first book with manuscript fees and royalties?"

"That's right."

Liu Suchi was silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "I take the liberty of asking, how much did you earn from your first book?" ”

Zhao Qingyu smiled and didn't tell him directly, but put one of the pages of the contract she drafted in front of him, pointed to one of them, and said, "Consultant Liu can convert it yourself, I believe you are still relatively clear about some situations." ”

Of course, Liu Suchi knows that Zhao Qingyu's first book has sold nearly 400,000 copies so far, which is already an excellent achievement for a novice writer.

He secretly converted the number of hot sales and the way to make a profit in his heart, and after a while, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
