Chapter Forty-Six: It's Still a Bully
Sakutani Qingfeng sat on the chair, his eyes were bright, and after a long time, he dialed a phone and said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Cola is still quite sober-minded, and he can take over the position of editor-in-chief." ”
An old male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Haode, I see." ”
Diandian Literature Network has dominated the online literary world for so many years, not only does the outside world hope that it will decline, but even some discordant voices have appeared within him.
The reason why this is so is because the former owner of Diandianwang has taken a back seat, and now it is his eldest son Yao Shi who is at the helm.
Yao Shi is the very Mr. Yao in the mouth of Cokele.
Every enterprise is facing upgrading, every enterprise is facing the replacement of the old and the new, and in this process, it is often the most dangerous time for the enterprise.
And now, Mr. Yao's first decision made a little mistake, and he had to let these veterans come out to shield him from the wind and rain.
The next day, the editor-in-chief left the office and flew to Xiao Fang's city on the plane of the day.
After a gust of wind and dust, the wine valley breeze arrived at Xiao Fang's home.
And at this time, it was already the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month.
Xiao Fang had already received a notice that the past was fluttering, so it was natural to receive this guest from afar at home.
The roof of Xiao Fang's house is actually a good place, not only has a shed, but also a coffee table and seats, etc., coupled with automated controllable glass windows, making this roof a place that Xiao Fang must come to every day.
As Xiao Fang's father, Xiao Yuanshan of course did this because he liked it. As a result, during the days when Xiao Fang went home, this place was occupied by Xiao Fang most of the time.
And the matter of receiving guests, of course, only Xiao Fang did it himself.
Xiao Yuanshan went directly to the mountain to see his saplings, while Xiao Fang's mother Yue Siqi went out shopping with friends.
Standing on the roof of this garden-style building, the breeze of the wine valley is also inexplicably comfortable, in this mountain forest, Xiao Fang's building is just like a villa.
There are green mountains and rivers in the distance, Caopu Pastoral in the near distance, and mountains and forests and streams in the back, which is completely a paradise-like place.
If it weren't for the white cement country road between the mountains and forests, Wine Valley Qingfeng would have felt like a fairyland.
"You may be seated." Xiao Fang stood up and acted as a guide for the wine valley breeze.
Sakatani Qingfeng smiled and sat down.
After making a pot of tea, Xiao Fang also sat down, and said with a smile: "Mengding nectar, it is said to be a good tea, you will drink it." ”
Sakutani Qingfeng smiled and said, "This is already a good tea, don't settle for it, well, I don't pay attention to this either." ”
After speaking, the wine valley breeze picked up the teacup and took a sip directly.
Xiao Fang also took a sip of tea, and then said directly: "Qingfeng God, don't you know what to do with me?" ”
With a smile on his face, Sakutani Qingfeng said, "If you have nothing to do, you can also come and meet the great writers who are now famous all over the world." Banished God, I don't know if you welcome it? ”
Xiao Fang also responded with a smile: "Qingfeng God is joking, in terms of seniority in the online literary world, Qingfeng God is an old-timer, and it should be the younger generation who visits first." Besides, you are the editor-in-chief of Diandian.com, and I am begging for food under you now, so what is welcome or not. ”
When Jiugu Qingfeng heard this, the smile on his face faded slightly, and he said seriously: "Xiao Fang, I am serious about coming to you." ”
Xiao Fang was a little strange, and said, "Daoqian? What are you doing in Daoqian? Have you offended me somewhere? ”
Seeing Xiao Fang pretending to be stupid, Jiugu Qingfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm here on behalf of Diandian Literature Network." ”
Xiao Fang shook his head slightly, waved his hand and said: "Then I can't stand it anymore, Diandian Literature Network is such a behemoth, give me a little author daoqian, how can I afford it!" I don't want to. ”
Sakuya Qingfeng sighed, stared at Xiao Fang with both eyes, and said, "Xiao Fang, I'm a relatively direct person, so there's no way to beat around the bush." In short, Diandian Literature Network is sorry for you, if you have any requirements, just mention it, and Diandian Literature Network will try its best to meet the requirements that Diandian Literature Network can meet. ”
Xiao Fang saw that Sakuya Qingfeng was serious, and he didn't dare to pretend to be stupid now, in fact, Sakuya Qingfeng was indeed his predecessor, and he was much older than him, and besides, others were so low-voiced, and he couldn't say that he was unforgiving.
"Senior, I understand what you mean. I can understand your caution, but it's over, and I don't want to mention it at all. So, don't worry, I won't pay attention to the rumors on the Internet. Xiao Fang gave a very direct answer.
Hearing this, Jiugu Qingfeng bowed slightly, then sighed and said, "Xiao Fang, this matter is indeed a loss made by Diandian Literary Network. You'd better make a request, or I'll be upset. After all, your reputation has also suffered greatly! ”
"It's because of this that I'm so famous now. Everyone should be mutually beneficial, no one owes anyone, okay? Xiao Fang smiled and said so.
"This ......," the wine valley breeze looked embarrassed.
"If the seniors have anything to say, don't be so polite." Xiao Fang looked at the wine valley Qingfeng very embarrassed, and waved his hand directly, looking very arrogant.
"Okay, Xiao Fang, you should understand that I came from Weishenme. Some time ago, you were asked to retreat from the monthly ticket war without a fight, and it had a great impact on your reputation, which is indeed wrong with our Diandian Literature Network. So, this time, I made a special trip to represent Daoqian, and I hope that you can accept a part of the compensation and sign a relevant contract to ensure that you will not publicize this matter. Seeing that Xiao Fang was so arrogant, Jiugu Qingfeng naturally didn't hesitate anymore and directly stated the reason.
"Oh, that means take some of the money and write a guarantee, right? Or is this hush money? Xiao Fang continued with a smile, but sighed slightly in his heart, the company is really a company, and he has never believed in character!
Thinking of this, Xiao Fang couldn't help but wonder a little, will his company be like this in the future?
This is because you don't want to admit your mistake and want to be private, right?
"Well, since you've said it all here, I don't know how much your company is going to compensate me?" Perhaps because of the words of the wine valley breeze, Xiao Fang unconsciously began to benefit.
Since there is no way to guarantee character, then really use money to guarantee it!
"According to our company's estimates, the damage to your reputation caused by the last incident, as well as the loss of your works, is estimated to be 10 million Huaxia coins, so we have decided to compensate you with 10 million Huaxia coins. I heard that you have sold the Chinese entity publishing rights to the publishing house under Diandian.com, the English copyright to the exile publishing house, and other copyrights, including the film adaptation rights, are in your hands, so we hope to spend another 100 million Chinese coins to buy all these copyrights. "Satani Qingfeng gave a figure that is absolutely astronomical for Xiao Fang.
10 million compensation, 100 million copyright fees?
When Xiao Fang heard this, he smiled inexplicably, and then looked at Jiugu Qingfeng seriously, and said, "Ten million to buy my seal is actually a disguise, right?" The copyright of 100 million is the point, or I want to buy the copyright of my book with 110 million! In fact, for those rumors, you Diandian.com already has a set of mature plans to eliminate the impact. What's more, even if you can keep me from talking, you can't guarantee that others won't speak, and you can't buy everyone's mouth. You can't shut his mouth just as the knight of King Lanluo. ”
All Satani Qingfeng could do was smile wryly and said, "You are very smart. Also, if you weren't smart, how could you write such a masterpiece that is a global blockbuster. You also know what the purpose of the last Fantasy Rafting event was. Among so many works, yours is the most dazzling and the most accomplished. Our original goal was to break into the Western market, and now, you have ruined most of our Jihua. ”
After hearing this, Xiao Fang shook his head directly and said, "Senior, you are wrong, it was not me who destroyed this jihua, but yourself!" ”
"Well, we're at our own devices. What do we just want to redeem now, I wonder if you can forgive us? The wine valley breeze looked at Xiao Fang expectantly.
Seeing an old man who was almost sixty years old throwing this kind of look at himself, Xiao Xinxin really couldn't bear it, but since this was talking about official business, he still had to do business, otherwise, he would say that he was bending the law for personal gain.
"Senior, to put it simply, I am very grateful that you are here in person, and it has also made my family flourish. However, since you are the representative of Diandian.com, then we will take matters into our business. Do you think that with 110 million Huaxia coins now, I can sell all the remaining copyrights of the work to you? Xiao Fang threw the question directly to the other party.
Sakutani Qingfeng looked at Xiao Fang's gaze, but was forced to refute by Xiao Fang's gaze, and finally had to drift away and said, "I think it should be enough." ”
Shaking his head, Xiao Fang said: "Senior, now the sales volume of "The Legend of Lanluo King" in Europe and the United States totals 30 million, and it is already the champion of sales in a single month...... Don't forget, "The Legend of King Lanluo" is just over one million now, and the word count I set for the finished book is five million. With a little comparison, you should know exactly how much worse the price you are giving is. Also, our digital version of the contract is almost at the end of the day, my word count has exceeded a million, and I can finish the book at any time. If everyone cooperates well, I will finish the book directly on your website, and if the cooperation is not good, it is a big deal that I will reopen "The Legend of King Lanluo II". Just like the single chapter I published, I'm actually a good bully, but that was before, and now, I'm still a bully, but not everyone can bully at will! ”
