Chapter Seventy-Six: Cooperation
However, although Gu Shaoqiu said that he had some inexplicable feelings in his heart, he had a very big picture and did not easily question anything. A-Ning just said that foreigner, bringing him here was to intervene in her world, such a fair and honest is enough to make him happy and happy, and skip the others for the time being!
After some acquaintance, on the basis of a very happy conversation, Qian Jin began and went straight to the topic: "The master is the teacher, I am still used to calling you Teacher Yuanqiu, Teacher Yuanqiu, you also know the purpose of our visit on behalf of Sanyuan Publishing House, since its publication, the response has been very good, you and our Sanyuan Publishing House also have a happy cooperation, more than half of the focus of Sanyuan Publishing House is in the publishing industry, so in addition to publishing in Yanjing Daily I want to continue to maintain good cooperation with you, we also want to talk to you, Publication of the Legend of Grace! ”
"Well, you say!" Lin Ning nodded, she writes books for livelihood income, and compared with the remuneration for publishing serials, publishing royalty income is the majority, so for publishing, Lin Ning naturally will not refuse. This is her own real material, completely autonomous power, without any element of weakness. This is also the reason why Lin Ning insists on taking the route she wrote, maybe she can be a smash hit with the famous masterpieces of later generations, but in the end it can't last long, and it also violates her moral bottom line.
In her previous life, she took this road, and in this life, she temporarily made a living from this old book, and she was quite familiar with the way here, but she was more familiar with the route of the era when the novels and literature developed in later generations, and for the rules of the current development period, she only knew a fur from historical facts, and she didn't know much about it, so Lin Ning first handed over the right to speak to Qian Jin, the representative of the Sanyuan Publishing House, and others.
Affirmation from Lin Ning, Qian Jin cheered up and continued seriously: "The Legend of Enyi Qixia is a novel, and you have sent about 900,000 manuscripts so far, I boldly estimate that the number of words in your completed manuscript should be controlled at about 1.1 million, as far as the current manuscript is concerned, as well as your manuscript speed, you can complete all the manuscripts within two or three weeks at most, and the Biography of Enyi Qixia has fully met the conditions for publication." In fact, the book reached 500,000 words, and Yuan Qiu maintained a calm and sophisticated writing as always, and the publishing house had the idea of talking about publishing, but unfortunately, in the previous time, I had not been able to get a meeting with Mr. Yuan Qiu, and this matter was temporarily suppressed.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and they have always insisted, so that Mr. Yuanqiu can see the sincerity of their Sanyuan Publishing House, and now after more than a month, Mr. Yuanqiu has been recognized, and I am fortunate to meet the real person and negotiate the publication of the Legend of Enyi Qixia, and even more later.
Although Teacher Yuanqiu's real appearance surprised them, no matter what, just because of Teacher Yuanqiu's young age, he has such a spicy and sophisticated writing, and it is not an exaggeration to praise him for his talent, but this makes them more considerable about Teacher Yuanqiu's future growth, and their attitude is more solemn, and they are not slacking off because of Lin Ning's age.
"You're a connoisseur!" Lin Ning praised with a smile, the editor-in-chief of Qian Jin is worthy of being the famous editor-in-chief for many years, and she has a good grasp of her mental estimation, the legend of Enyi Qixia, she really plans to do so. As far as the current mainstream society is concerned, a million words is already an extremely long novel, millions of words or even tens of millions of words, which will only appear later. Lin Ning didn't intend to challenge the acceptance of the entire society, so he controlled the text to around one million words, and according to the development of the plot, it was pushed to about 1.1 million to complete.
Lin Ning's personality is approachable, much better than the solitary arrogance or loneliness that the editor-in-chief Qian had figured out before, or the withdrawn and weird. No one doesn't like to praise, Editor-in-Chief Qian is in a better mood, and more meticulous and patient, he continued: "You have the willingness to publish, the choice of the publishing house, let me introduce you to Yanjing Sanyuan Publishing House, our publishing house may not be Yanjing or even the country's arrogant publishing house, but I can proudly say that it is one of the oldest publishing houses in Yanjing, and the heritage is still very rich!"
I am not satisfied with you that now is an era of reform, and our publishing house is also facing such a problem, the handover of the old and the new deal, and it is necessary for you to have a good writing and market appeal to drive the market and drive the vitality of the publishing house.
The first plan is to buy out the copyright according to the current market maximum of 1,000 words and 30 words, and we will give you this income in installments within half a year, and then the arrangement of Enyi Qixia has nothing to do with you. The second plan is that we have won a maximum of 20% of the royalty share, which is a long-term income, and no matter when the Heroes of Grace is published in the future, you will have a share of your income! As far as my personal suggestion is concerned, it is recommended that you choose the second option, and we also hope to maintain a good cooperation with you for a long time, with the current popularity of your works, and do not worry about sales and income. Of course, we respect your opinion! ”
The editor-in-chief of Qian was the mainstay, and Bai Yuan assisted in helping, carefully putting the sincerity of Yanjing Sanyuan Publishing House in front of Lin Ning, and they really invested a lot of money. They don't think that signing the publishing contract with Yuan Qiu can make much profit for the publishing house, of course, this is also a prerequisite to consider, but it is not the most important.
The most important thing is that they want to retain Yuanqiu with sincerity and cooperate with Sanyuan Publishing House for a long time, and they value the follow-up development of Yuanqiu.
Lin Ning pondered for a moment, and quickly swiped through the income that the two plans could bring her. Comparatively speaking, forced by life, Lin Ning does not have too much of the inherent arrogance and loftiness of literati, and respects reality more. According to the first plan, 30 yuan for 1,000 words, in this era, it is really not high, 1.1 million words, she can bring a one-time income of 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, this income, in today's society, is really a big number, even in the vicinity of Kyoto University now, it is almost enough to buy a house, but a buyout, the follow-up publishing house makes a lot of money, and it has nothing to do with her.
Obviously, Editor-in-Chief Qian's suggestion is sincere, and the second plan is the one that can benefit Lin Ning more. Twenty percent of the royalty, even in later generations, is a very high share for her who does not participate in publishing investment! This is equivalent to ten yuan for a book, and it is a commission of her two yuan, which is inconspicuous at first glance, but if this number is sustained with sales, it is very considerable.
For other authors, they may also have to worry about sales, and it is not very safe to get stratification according to publication, but for Lin Ning, who is currently in the heat of serialization, she will still have a good income by taking advantage of this shareholder wind.
Just in a blink of an eye, Lin Ning made a decision directly, "You are an expert, I listen to your arrangement, let's follow the second plan, how old you are to fight for me to get such treatment, I hope we will continue to cooperate in the future, if there is no accident, we will cooperate for a long time in the future, so I will take care of you!" Today I am the east, let's have a light meal to celebrate our happy cooperation in the future! Editor-in-Chief Qian didn't hide anything, Lin Ning understood very well what Yanjing Sanyuan Publishing House really wanted, since the other party treated each other with sincerity, Lin Ning was not a hypocritical person, and immediately gave the result they wanted, naturally everyone was happy, and both parties got what they wanted.
