Chapter 48: Don't worry about manuscript fees
The first to speak was Yuan Mingfeng, the editor-in-chief of the website, who saw him help the black-rimmed glasses he was wearing, and then said to Tang Jiaxun, "Mr. Tang, you also know that our Wanshu Tangmen Literature is a literary website that has just been established, and many businesses are in the stage of vigorous development. This time, I invite you to be the representative of the online author and join our Wanshu Tangmen, which is actually an opportunity for both parties......"
Editor-in-chief Yuan Mingfeng was moved by affection, and he brainwashed Tang Jiaxun with reason, which roughly means that in the initial stage of the website, if he can get the help of the authors, then he Yuan Mingfeng will definitely remember this friendship. When the website grows and grows in the future, those authors who join in the early stage will definitely have more resources than those who join later. Whether it's a recommendation or a website benefit, it's definitely better than the one who joins later. Including the buyout price negotiated earlier, in fact, the two parties also have room for negotiation, but they still need to reach a certain consensus.
Tang Jiaxun, who was sitting in front of the sofa, thought about it seriously for a while, and then asked Yuan Mingfeng and Li Hao softly, "Dong Li, Editor-in-Chief Yuan, I will consider what you said." I'm just an online writer, and all I want to do is support my family and live a small life. The conditions offered by Editor-in-Chief Yuan just now are indeed good, but I have a small question I want to ask, that is, will your literary website be in arrears in terms of paying authors' remuneration?"
Hearing Tang Jiaxun ask about the sensitive issue of funds, the editor-in-chief Yuan Mingfeng leaned back inadvertently, and he had no way to answer this question. The only person who has the right to speak is Director Li Hao, who is sitting next to him.
"In terms of remuneration, I can assure you here that there will be no arrears or deductions. At this time, Li Hao said categorically.
Tang Jiaxun looked at Li Hao's eyes seriously, and then lowered his head and asked softly, "Dong Li, I am also willing to believe in your guarantee, but ...... As you know, my author friends and I believed in the original literary website in the first place, and now it has become this field. ”
Tang Jiaxun meant this, in fact, he wanted Li Hao to come up with some proof that could convince him, such as the starting point and the creation of the world backed by Tencent, and the financial resources are absolutely strong, and he can't do this kind of thing that fools the author.
Li Hao naturally knew Tang Jiaxun's concerns, so he smiled casually, and then said to him clearly, "Mr. Tang Jiaxun, you don't have to worry about the manuscript fee, I will give Wanshu Tangmen Literature and invest another 10 million." With this 10 million as working capital, are you still afraid that you won't be able to pay the manuscript fee?"
Li Hao's faint words just fell. I saw Yuan Mingfeng, who was sitting on the side, squeezed his fist fiercely. Li Hao is really too tyrant and too decisive! He only smashed 8 million yuan a few days ago, but he didn't expect that today's opening of his mouth would be 10 million! If it weren't for the boss Jiang Tenglong, who happened to be away on a business trip, otherwise he would definitely be like Yuan Mingfeng, who admired Li Hao on the spot.
Tang Jiaxun, who was sitting in front of him, raised his head and looked at Li Hao seriously for a while. Li Hao said it too casually just now, as if the 10 million was a small meaning to him! If it weren't for his Aston Martin parked outside the coffee shop, Tang Jiaxun would definitely think he was joking with himself.
"Dong Li, what you just said is true?" Tang Jiaxun asked again uncertainly.
Li Hao shrugged his shoulders after hearing this, meaning, "If you don't believe this, then he has nothing to explain." ”
Tang Jiaxun pondered repeatedly in front of the sofa for a long time, and then hesitated and whispered to Li Hao and Yuan Mingfeng, "Dong Li, Editor-in-Chief Yuan, why don't you do this? Because I am not the only one who wants to sign the contract, I ...... Why don't I go back and talk to them, and I'll give you an answer when the time comes?"
Yuan Mingfeng habitually pushed his black-rimmed glasses and replied, "Okay, then you have to go back and think about it, and then I and Li Dong will wait for the news from your side." ”
Just as Yuan Mingfeng finished saying this, he saw Li Hao, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly added a sentence and said, "It's no problem to discuss, but how long will it take for you to give an answer?"
"Why don't you look at it, Dong Li...... No more than a week at the latest?" asked Tang Jiaxun softly with a slight inquiry.
"Yes, yes. After Li Hao finished speaking, he got up and shook hands with the two of them to say goodbye, and then drove his Aston Martin and disappeared around the corner of the coffee shop. Yuan Mingfeng, the editor-in-chief, saw that the gold owner took the first step to leave, so he also drove his Buick and left one after another.
In the coffee shop, where the business is not very busy, only Tang Jiaxun and his friend are left, sitting together in a daze.
At this time, Tang Jiaxun seemed to think of something and picked up the briefcase, and then found the live broadcast phone fixed in the briefcase.
When he switched the camera and checked the chat window in the live broadcast room, he saw row after row, row after row of colorful barrages, frantically refreshing the screen.
"Laugh at you, stupid fork, why didn't you agree just now!? Say something and think about it again! Do you know that this will make the local tyrant very unhappy!?"
"Laugh at you, you street boy, who allowed you to represent us like this! I don't follow, I don't follow! Hurry up and get the local tyrant back!"
......
Looking at the colorful barrage, Tang Jiaxun only felt as if he had missed something......
"What did I miss? Is it the 10 million that Li Dong said just now?" he tried to ask his friends in the live broadcast room.
"Laugh at you idiot!"
"I bought a watch last year!"
"The watch on the wrist of the local tyrant is a platinum Patek Philippe, worth 24 million!"
When Tang Jiaxun saw this, he suddenly felt a little dizzy in his brain, "Shenma Watch, 24 million, I'll go, are you sure you're not kidding me?"
It took about five minutes for Tang Jiaxun to figure out the reason for his friends' blind excitement. That is the local tyrant Li Hao, the price of one left hand alone is far more than 24 million yuan. A boss like this who has the courage to buy a sky-high price list can treat his authors badly? Having the opportunity to mix with such a big boss is really a blessing that has been cultivated for many years, and I still consider a hammer! Negotiate the price directly, and go to a new website to open a new book!
Tang Jiaxun hurriedly dialed Yuan Mingfeng's phone and expressed his willingness to make an appointment with the "Wanshu Tangmen" literature, and even those Zhongshen and Xiaoshen authors in the author group also expressed their willingness to join the "Wanshu Tangmen" literature.
Yuan Mingfeng, who was in a hurry to stop on the side of the road halfway through the drive, didn't know what the reason was until the whole phone call was over, which made Tang Jiaxun change his mind so quickly. And even the group of authors who have not yet been contacted have to come over to contribute.
