Chapter 82: Selling the Novel Copyright

As a result, the person in charge had a very good impression of Zeng Xian. is handsome, kind-hearted and talented, but the problem is that the other party is only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.

Such Zeng Xian can be described as a genius.

Finally, after learning that Zeng Xian wanted to publish a novel, he was stunned for a moment.

"What kind of novels do you write?"

The person in charge asked.

"Crossing plus modern romance."

"Can you show me first?"

This is the advantage of having acquaintances, the person in charge reads the manuscript in person, and does not have to go back and wait.

Zeng Xian took out the prepared 50,000-word manuscript from his bag and handed it to the person in charge.

"Yiding, my ugly words are going to be said in front, and the content is boring, but I won't publish it."

"Of course!"

Zeng Xian understands that this is the professional ethics that people should have.

is worthy of a person who works in a publishing house, and ten lines at a glance are simply basic exercises. In just ten minutes, the 50,000-word manuscript was read.

However, it can be seen from the expression of the person in charge that he is very interested in the plot that follows.

"Yiding, do you still have a manuscript in your bag?"

That's all I brought with me today.

The person in charge obviously has a pity, this is because he wants to know too much about the next plot development.

"I didn't expect romance novels to be written like this, just the first 50,000 words have two reversals, it's so interesting!"

"So, you mean my novel is ready to be published, don't you?"

"Of course, how many words have you written now?"

"It's estimated that one million, two hundred thousand words a book, and now I have just enough for the first one, and the rest will be submitted every three months, is this okay?"

"Absolutely! You will send all the manuscripts tomorrow, as well as your documents, I will ask people to draw up the contract today, and we will talk about the specific conditions at that time. ”

Zeng Xian nodded.

Zhu Chen didn't expect Zeng Xian's novel to really be published, and Zeng Xian didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"Yiding, where is the rest of your manuscript?"

"At school!"

"Tomorrow I will send you to school to get the manuscript, and then go to the publishing house"

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

To say that Zhu Chen is a very good person, he has personally experienced Zeng Xian's affairs. Obviously, he can ask the idle Xiang Beifang at home to do him a favor, but he may know Xiang Beibei's virtues. Even if Xiang Beifang offered to pick up Zeng Xian, Zhu Chen didn't agree.

Zeng Xian planned to spend the night at Qiao's house that night, and now for his existence, not to mention that the Qiao family is used to it, even the neighbors in this alley are used to it.

At first, everyone was talking about it in the back, saying that Qiao Sanli talked about her boyfriend before she was an adult, and she said all kinds of ugly things. Later, I learned that Zeng Xian had saved people and been in the newspaper, and now he is a college student, and now everyone is talking about how Qiao Sanli has a good vision, how Qiao Zuwang is blessed, and so on.

At dinner that day, Zeng Xian told everyone about writing a novel.

Qiao Zuwang was not very interested, and did not make any comments during the whole process. The biggest reaction was Qiao Simei, who has always liked to read romance novels, clamoring to be his first fan.

After learning that his novel would be published in a while, everyone was dumbfounded.

"You kid, you really like to do big things in a muffled voice!"

Qiao Zuwang smiled from ear to ear.

The fact that the book he wrote can be published shows that he will be a writer in the future. His son-in-law is not only a medical student, but also a writer, and the halo on his head has an extra circle, and he can take out another layer of capital to brag about, can he not be happy?

"Brother-in-law, what's your writer's name?"

"Singularity!"

"This name is quite special, brother-in-law, when you become famous, you will have to sign me hundreds of copies."

"You want to sell it!"

Qiao Sanli said a word.

"Sister, are you living in my belly?"

Everyone laughed.

Qiao Erqiang is now working as a handyman in a restaurant, and he comes back late at night. When he returned to the hall in the middle of the night, he was startled by Zeng Xian, who was lying on the bunk, when he turned on the light.

"Second brother, you're back!"

"It turned out to be you, it scared me to death."

Qiao Erqiang took his clothes and went outside to wash, came back and lay on a bunk with Zeng Xian, and sighed heavily.

"Second brother has something on his mind?"

Zeng Xian was woken up by him, and now he didn't feel sleepy, so he simply chatted with Qiao Erqiang.

"Nope!"

"Still thinking about your master?"

"No, I've put her down."

Zeng Xian knew that he was duplicitous, so he couldn't bear it, and reminded:

"I heard someone call a female boss who sells vegetables Ma Suqin in the Chengnan vegetable market today, I don't know if it's your master?"

Since the last incident, Ma Suqin has filed for divorce from her man, and now Qiao Erqiang is not immoral with her.

Qiao Erqiang immediately sat up and asked excitedly:

"Really?"

"Anyway, that's the name I heard, and the woman was carrying a little boy of a few years old by her side."

Zeng Xian nodded.

Qiao Erqiang couldn't sleep excitedly, so he simply sat in the courtyard. As soon as the morning dawned, he went out to the Chengnan vegetable market, where he did find Ma Suqin, who he missed day and night.

Zeng Xian finished dinner and took Qiao Sanli to Xiang's house to find Zhu Chen.

It wasn't the first time Zhu Chen had seen Qiao Sanli, and he wasn't surprised to see them together. However, Xiang Nannan, who came back from vacation this time, heard from Zhu Chen yesterday that the novel written by Zeng Xian was going to be published, and he had a better impression of this boy who was two years younger than him.

Now that he saw a beautiful girl standing next to him, and the two behaved intimately, he knew the relationship between them at a glance, and a sense of loss hit him in an instant.

"Yiding, this is your girlfriend!"

Xiang Nanfang is still very educated in the end, and he must be polite when guests come.

"Sister Nanfang, this is Sanli, my girlfriend."

The two greeted each other, and Xiang Nanfang said to Zeng Xian again:

"Congratulations to you, am I going to call you Writer Wang in the future?"

"Sister Nanfang smiled!"

After a brief greeting, several people left Xiang's house in Zhu Chen's car.

From here to the school and then to the publishing house, it took more than two hours to make a single trip. The publisher offers two options. One is to buy out the copyright of the book at one time, and the other is to take a share according to the sales of the book, of course, these two plans do not conflict with copyrights such as film and television.

Zeng Xian chose the first one.

In the long run, the second is definitely the more cost-effective, but the problem is that his time here is limited. The other is that he urgently needs money now, and he can only do other things with a lump sum of money at once.

According to Zeng Xian's meaning, the book is expected to be 1 million words, and it will be published in five times, 200,000 words this time, and 200,000 words every three months thereafter.

The person in charge wrote all these into the contract, and finally bought the copyright of the book for 30,000 yuan.
