Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Confiscated Book
Magic City, Banyan Tree Press.
Li Fengshan, the leader of the publishing house, glanced at Ning Ying a little helplessly.
"Ning Ying, you are the veteran of the publishing house and the hero of the publishing house." Li Fengshan wanted to light a cigarette, but he glanced at Ning Ying's slightly frowning brow, so he had to put the cigarette in his pocket.
This woman is no longer young, but unfortunately her aura is too strong, and not many men can suppress her, which is the main reason why she has always been single.
What he didn't know was that Ning Ying was a sloppy housegirl when she was home alone, which was very different from the queen fan she behaved in front of people.
"Over the years, the publishing house has really worked hard for you. How often did I not accede to your request? How often do I distrust your eyes? The 12% royalty rate is given to a pure newcomer, I haven't said a word, have I? Li Fengshan carefully stuffed the cigarette into the cigarette case, he was addicted to cigarettes and regarded cigarettes as treasures.
"His songs are very popular, not exactly the same as other newcomers." Ning Ying sat on the chair with a big grin, judging from her aura, it seemed that she was more like the leader of the publishing house.
"Well, well, he's not like any other newcomer. But you know what? The industry has always been jealous of our publishing house, and we are developing too fast. Li Fengshan paused for a while and continued: "I'm not saying that I don't support diversified development, I just don't think there's any need to take such a big step, we can take our time, for example, it's good to publish a collection of poems first like at the beginning?" ”
Li Fengshan didn't dare to say it, in fact, many people in the industry were laughing at Ning Ying, just give a high school student a 12% royalty rate, Banyan Tree Publishing House has recently spent a lot of money to promote "Dragon Family".
He knew Ning Ying very well, and if he let her know that someone was talking behind her back, he might be more motivated, and he would have to prove it to everyone.
Ning Ying glanced at Li Fengshan, and she didn't speak from beginning to end. Li Fengshan is good at everything, but he is too stable and does not dare to make a breakthrough, everything is stable.
"Okay! Let's not argue anymore, print 50,000 more copies, okay? You know, there was a meeting a few days ago, but no one supported you, I sold you a lot of face! Li Fengshan stretched out a hand and said, he smiled bitterly and said: "You are also an old man in the publishing house, you should know that these stars with their own popularity like to make money in the book circle, but which star has really sold fire?" Isn't it all unsellable in the later stage? ”
"This book is different." Ning Ying also stretched out a hand, without raising her head, and continued: "Add another fifty thousand!" ”
Li Fengshan looked at Ning Ying, who had a gloomy face, he knew that if he didn't agree, Ning Ying might really turn his face.
100,000 copies, that's a lot of money.
If you lose money, you will lose money, Banyan Publishing House has a big business, and he can't afford to lose money, so he should give her a year-end bonus early.
Banyan Tree Publishing House has been able to develop to this point, and Ning Ying's credit is even greater than his. This Bodhisattva must be offered, and no matter which publishing house she goes to, there are people who praise her.
"Okay, I'll ask the secretary to make a phone call and print another 100,000 copies, but I can't listen to you? My aunt and grandmother! Li Fengshan couldn't laugh or cry.
Ning Ying nodded with satisfaction, stepped on her high heels, and walked out without looking back.
Seeing that Ning Ying was gone, Li Fengshan hurriedly took out his cigarette and smoked it comfortably.
In his opinion, no matter how good the pre-sale is, it is useless, and there was also a female star who wrote a book before, and Banyan Publishing House helped distribute it. The pre-sale sold 40,000 copies, and I thought I was going to make money, but the total sales volume was only 130,000. There are a total of 300,000 fucking first printings, and I can't sell them all out until now, so I'm losing a lot!
After smoking, he rang the bell, and the tall secretary walked in, twisting his waist, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was a capable little secretary.
"Xiaoxia, you will call the factory later, what is that called? Oh yes! Dragons! Another 100,000 copies will be printed. Li Fengshan said to the little secret.
"Okay, Mr. Li." The little secretary said, and after sending an autumn wave, he continued to twist and twist all the way out, and he was not afraid of flashing his waist.
.....
.....
Yu Limin, a high school chemistry teacher and class teacher, is known as Datou Yu because of his surname and oversized head.
In the office, he angrily threw a novel on the table, looked at the female class leader He Xiuwen in front of him, and said disappointedly: "You are the class leader, and the teacher has always trusted you, but as a class cadre, how can you take the lead in reading novels during class time!" ”
He Xiuwen lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, and from time to time she would glance at the novel on the table, she was really afraid that the book would be confiscated, it was Lu Xiaosu's signed version! I bought it by my own shit luck!
The delivery of Dingdang.com is really fast, and now many places across the country have received the "Dragon Family" I bought a few days ago.
Seeing He Xiuwen bowing her head and being silent, big-headed fish, uh no, Teacher Yu Limin felt that she was already reflecting on herself, and her tone became softer, and said, "The teacher knows that you have good grades and have been studying hard." Although you don't read it in the compulsory courses, the elective courses are also very important, so don't you take the next example, you know? ”
He Xiuwen was still distracted, and she didn't hear what the head teacher said at all, but nodded mechanically.
Seeing He Xiuwen's "sincere attitude", Yu Limin waved his hand and said, "It's time for class, let's go out." As a class leader, you should strive to be an example, write a 500-word review book, and post it on the wall at the back door. ”
He Xiuwen heard it clearly this time, and after turning to leave, she turned around after taking two steps, and plucked up the courage to say, "Teacher, that book ......"
Seeing He Xiuwen's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Yu Limin couldn't help but smile and said, "Let the teacher go first, and then return it to you after school, and bring less novels like this kind of novel to school that don't help you study at all in the future." Let's go, let's go, are you afraid that the teacher will lose it? ”
He Xiuwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it was good to be willing to pay back. She can get Lu Xiaosu's signature, and many classmates in the class envy her, if it is permanently confiscated, she may really cry on the spot.
She and a few girlfriends all like Lu Xiaosu's songs, this time everyone bought a copy, only she bought the signed version, let her show off for several days, and specially took photos and sent them to the circle of friends.
But seriously, they didn't think the book would look good at first, but they just tried to read it last night, but it was out of control!
How could it be...... So good-looking!
This also led to the first time that she, a good student, peeked at a novel in class, and was caught red-handed due to her lack of experience.
"The teacher must keep it, this book is a signed version." After feeling relaxed, He Xiuwen admonished, afraid that the big-headed fish would continue to nag, so she turned around and ran.
Yu Limin looked at He Xiuwen's back and couldn't help but smile: "Young people now, it's not good to learn something, learn to chase stars." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the novel on the table, opened the cover, and saw Lu Xiaosu's signature.
"The words are quite beautiful, and the writing essay can be a plus." Yu Limin looked at Lu Xiaosu's beautiful pen words.
There was no class for him in the morning, and he was idle and bored, so he couldn't help but open it and take a look.
"I'd like to see what kind of rotten book it is."
......
In the afternoon, Yu Limin took two chemistry classes in a row, and he was not in a good state, and his mind was full of thinking about the plot in the novel.
What is the identity of the male protagonist Lu Mingfei?
What are dragons really like?
What are they going to use to slay dragons?
He loved to read martial arts novels when he was young, and his home was full of bookcases of martial arts books, but he never imagined that he would be attracted by a novel written by a high school student. There are so many holes dug in it that people can't help but think about the plot.
After school, He Xiuwen came to the office with her schoolbag on her back, and before she could speak, Yu Limin said, "Let's get a novel?" The teacher forgot in the faculty dormitory, and I'll give it to you tomorrow. ”
He Xiuwen wondered, why did the novel go to the dormitory? Didn't you put it in the office?
Helpless, she had to endure for another day, and secretly swore that after getting the novel tomorrow, she must finish her homework quickly when she goes home, and she must read it in one breath tomorrow, otherwise Xiaoli and her spoiler dogs will definitely give me spoilers!
Seeing He Xiuwen leaving, Yu Limin breathed a sigh of relief and took out the hidden "Dragon Clan" from under his buttocks. Clamped under the armpit and walked to the faculty dormitory, skip the meal first, read the book first, and then talk about it, but I have to return it tomorrow!
If He Xiuwen knew that her treasured signature version was pressed under the buttocks by the big-headed fish, I don't know if she would make a plate of steamed fish heads on the spot.
……
In this way, the book "Dragon Family" began to become popular in schools.
