Chapter 47: Interview with the Author
The authors of the website come from all over the world, and their communication is mainly through the Internet. Jiang Tenglong found a local online writer in the magic capital through a relationship, and made an appointment with him to meet at a coffee shop on Madang Road at 2 pm on Saturday.
The online author's name is Tang Jiaxun, 27 years old this year, full-time author, pen name: I love to laugh and laugh. Tang Jiaxun is quite popular among online writers, he is a Zhongshen writer, and there are many small gods and Zhongshen writer friends around him.
When those online writers in the group heard that "Wanshu Tangmen" wanted to find Tang Jiaxun and other authors to talk about overall cooperation, some writers said that if the conditions were good and they didn't pay for manuscripts, they might choose to come to "Wanshu Tangmen" to try.
Because Tang Jiaxun has not been in contact with society for a long time, he usually only lives in the Internet and rarely has contact with the outside world. He was afraid that he would not be able to make up his mind, or that he would be fooled, so he invited those author friends in the group to log in to the live broadcast and help him staff on the spot to see if the behind-the-scenes boss of the "Wanshu Tang Gate" has the courage and strength.
The live broadcast proposed that he did not tell "Wanshu Tangmen" literature, but arranged for a friend of his to be responsible for quietly following the whole process. Some of the gods in the author's group, urban gods, all think this idea is good. After all, they have been cheated by their old club and don't want to be cheated a second time. If it really doesn't work, they would rather choose some low-cost big stations to open new books. I also don't want to work with some reputable websites anymore.
At 1:55 p.m. on Saturday, Tang Jiaxun appeared in front of the Madang Road Cafe in a blue ski shirt. As he entered the store, he asked his friend to clinch his briefcase so that the camera hidden inside would not deviate. In his live broadcast room, more than 300 author friends have gathered, including Zhongshen and Xiaoshen, as well as some of his hardcore book friends.
"Wow, it's finally time for the coffee shop!"
"Where is the boss of Wanshu Tangmen? ”
"I hope that the website of this cooperation has some strength, and don't be cheated again. ”
......
After looking around the coffee shop for half a circle, Tang Jiaxun and his friends finally met Yuan Mingfeng, the editor-in-chief of "Wanshu Tangmen", who was sitting in the corner. I saw Yuan Mingfeng wearing black-framed glasses, shaking hands with him with a smile on his face and saying, "Hello, hello! Presumably you are Tang Jiaxun who chatted with me on QQ before?
"Well, that's right, Hello Editor-in-Chief Yuan!" Tang Jiaxun smiled a little shyly. has been out of touch with society for a long time, and he can't even speak well. Usually the submission and buyout are all through QQ communication, and it is rare to sit and chat with the editor-in-chief of the website in person like today.
"Hello, please take a seat, our director has already arrived nearby, and it is estimated that it will be there in a minute or two. I reviewed the manuscript you submitted to me the day before yesterday, and the theme ideas are not bad, but the valuation on our side may be worse than your psychological expectations. Yuan Mingfeng was halfway through his sentence and did not continue. What he wants to say is that the other party's offer is too high, the price of 200 words per thousand, and it is difficult for them to make this decision.
"Well, Mr. Yuan, isn't it the price of two hundred words per thousand, and your website thinks it's too expensive?" Tang Jiaxun heard what Yuan Mingfeng meant, including many authors in the live broadcast room, and suddenly thought of some difficulties of the new website, which were nothing more than financial problems.
However, just as the two sat down to talk, they saw a pure black Aston Martin sports car parked smoothly and unobstructedly outside the coffee shop outside the glass window of the coffee shop. Tang Jiaxun's friend hurriedly adjusted the lens of his mobile phone slightly, and took pictures of the supercar in front of him for the author and book friends to watch.
"Wow, there are a lot of rich people in this place in the magic capital! In less than a few minutes, an Aston Martin Vanquish appeared?"
"You said that the person who drove this sports car, could it be the boss of Wanshu Tangmen?"
"Damn, don't say it's really possible! If that's the case, then this boss would love to mess with him!"
......
Just when the author in the live broadcast room was discussing, I saw Li Hao, who was wearing a BOSS suit, open the car door and walk out of the sports car, and closed the sports car door with a casual "bang". The whole set of actions is very natural, and the author Tang Jiaxun and his friends are envious.
When Li Hao walked into the café in a black suit, the editor-in-chief, Yuan Mingfeng, suddenly stood up and said to Tang Jiaxun, "Mr. Tang, let me introduce you to a grand introduction, this is our director of Wanshu Tangmen, Li Hao, Li Dong!"
"Li Dong, hello, hello. Under Yuan Mingfeng's introduction, Tang Jiaxun stepped forward and shook hands with Li Hao. Li Hao's appearance alone made some arrogant author friends in the live broadcast room have to be convinced.
"Hello, if I'm not mistaken, you are the writer Tang Jiaxun? pen name is I love to laugh and laugh?" Li Hao smiled and stretched out his right hand, his approachability made Tang Jiaxun and the authors in the live broadcast room immediately have a good impression of him.
"Yes, yes, Li Dong!" Tang Jiaxun was glad that Li Hao could say his name. Especially a rich man like him who drives a 7 million Aston Martin sports car.
Li Hao smiled and patted Tang Jiaxun on the shoulder, signaling that the two sides could sit down and talk in detail first. At this time, Li Hao's left wrist, the Patek Philippe watch that was inadvertently exposed, happened to be looked at by a sharp-eyed book friend in the live broadcast room!
"I'm going... What did I see? Patek Philippe Ref.2499?
The white barrage sent by the netizen successfully attracted the attention of all the gods and minor gods. A watch is actually worth 24 million? This kind of thing that I can't even imagine has happened in front of my eyes!?
"Friend, are you sure you're right?"
"This brother, Patek Philippe, I know this watch is expensive, but could you be misreading the model?"
As soon as some authors sent a barrage inquiry, the sharp-eyed book friend swore and promised, "Of course not! I'm sure! Definitely! and sure! It's Ref.2499 platinum!
......
If it weren't for Li Hao's status as a director, if it weren't for his 7 million Aston Martin car, I'm afraid that the barrage posted by the book friend would definitely be regarded as a joke, "24 million to buy a watch, are you sure you're not kidding me?"
But at this moment, the gods and minor gods in the live broadcast room all sat up straight one by one and paid serious attention in front of the screen. If nothing else, just because of Li Hao's financial resources, it is too surprising!
Li Hao, Tang Jiaxun, and Yuan Mingfeng found a sofa to sit down, and then began to negotiate cooperation with online writers.
