Chapter 263: New Contract

"Clumsy and extraordinary: Big guy, Delwin Press, which previously published the overseas version of "Caged Bird", is preparing to publish the overseas version of "Seven Days of Hell" this time.

Clumsy and extraordinary: Can the troublesome guy help me ask for the first reading. ”

Ji Zhuo and the editor-in-chief of Shiyue actually have contact information,

But apparently, he is more familiar with pen and ink.

Ji Zhuo pondered, sent out a message, and put the phone next to him,

Continue to brush your teeth,

As soon as the water for gargling was spit out, I saw that the pen and ink had already replied to the message.

Bimo: Because of the copyright issues involved in "Seven Days of Hell", right?

Clumsy and Extraordinary: Right. ”

After Ji Zhuo returned to the past after the news,

Pen and ink haven't replied to the message for a long time.

Ji Zhuo didn't care much about it, and continued to wash.

Waiting for him to finish washing up, when he was ready to put down his phone and go into the study to code.

The message of pen and ink was sent again.

"Pen and ink: Shiyue is ready to no longer enjoy part of the copyright of "Mortal Cultivators", "Revival of Cthulhu" and "Seven Days of Hell", and is willing to return this part of the copyright to you free of charge.

Bimo: After the copyright is transferred back to you, you can negotiate with Delvin Publishing House yourself, and if you need help negotiating, Feimo can also help you. ”

Well?

Can you spit out the meat you eat in your mouth?

These are the three books of Ji Zhuo in the first reading period,

Later, after he went to Feimo, or directly published by a publishing house, his copyright was in his own hands.

Only part of the copyright of these three copies is in the hands of Shiyue.

The copyright value of these three books is not small, and now this is the first time to read it, and there is no repayment to him?

"Clumsy and extraordinary: big guy, are there any conditions?"

As soon as the thoughts in his mind turned, Ji Zhuo probably understood.

When someone gives him benefits, it only proves that he has greater value.

For non-ink and first reading, the copyright value is greater than that of Ji Zhuo's three books.

It's nothing more than Ji Zhuo himself.

The other side.

Pen and ink are in the editor-in-chief's office at this time,

Since last night, he has been thinking about proposing to upgrade Ji Zhuo's contract and give him a more generous contract.

So when he was free at noon, he came to talk to the editor-in-chief of Feimo about this matter.

When Ji Zhuo sent a message,

He was talking to the editor-in-chief about it.

The editor-in-chief also basically agrees with the views of pen and ink.

Although the previous contract was generous enough, it was still a bit difficult to keep up, and Ji Zhuo's influence was growing day by day.

The increase in the number of non-Mo readers is directly related to Ji Zhuo to a large extent.

Although it does not raise the terms of the contract, it is nothing.

After all, Ji Zhuo didn't say it, but Ji Zhuo didn't say it, so they couldn't help but mention it.

After all, the non-Mo contract actually has no binding force on Ji Zhuo, and it is all a 'sincerity route'.

Since it is sincerity, it must be full of sincerity and respect.

Then it's up to them to mention.

Discussing the lively pen and ink and the editor-in-chief,

Seeing the message sent by Ji Zhuo, his eyes lit up,

Isn't this just a coincidence, just said to improve Ji Clumsy's contract, and then improve sincerity,

Ji Zhuo has something to help with.

If the editor-in-chief of pen and ink can't be the master of the first reading,

The editor-in-chief of Fei Mo can communicate with Shi Yue.

And since it was mentioned, then simply give the copyrights of the three books to Ji Zhuo to come back.

The copyright value of these three books is indeed very high, but compared with Ji Zhuo's influence, compared to Ji Zhuo's ability to bring new readers to Fei Mo in one day,

The copyrights of these three books are nothing.

thereupon

While the editor-in-chief and Shi Yue were discussing, they let the pen and ink reply to the paragraph just now.

“…… If Shi Yue doesn't agree, he can spend Fei Mo's own funds to buy back the copyright of the three books from Shi Yue and give them to him. ”

The editor-in-chief said this.

And Bimo soon received a message from Ji Zhuo.

Bimo looked at Ji Zhuo's message, hesitated, raised his phone and looked at the editor-in-chief,

"Editor-in-chief, do you want to mention some conditions?"

The editor-in-chief shook his head at the pen and ink,

"You reply to him, no conditions."

"The sincerity has been sent out, what is the condition at this time? That's not going to be a deal again. ”

"By the way, I will tell him the new contract we negotiated just now, and then tell him the same."

"Editor-in-chief, isn't that contract a little too lenient?"

Pen and ink mentioned it again.

The editor-in-chief looked at the pen and ink and smiled, shook his head and said,

"Pen and ink, you are open-minded. No matter how good the contract is, it can be torn up, no matter how good the terms are, it can be broken, and the best contract is actually to make him not see that there is a better contract than ours. ”

"What if there are no binding clauses? Is there a better option than ours? ”

"All the observance and breaking of the contract is just a trade-off."

"The editor-in-chief is right."

He understands pen and ink, but he feels that he should not understand better than the editor-in-chief.

So I asked more.

Listening to the editor-in-chief's words at this time, naturally there are no other objections,

turned around again and replied to Ji Zhuo's message.

……

"Pen and ink: no conditions.

Bimo: In addition, because of your better and better results and the benefits you bring to the website, the previous contract is somewhat unworthy of you.

Penink: We are ready to exchange you with a more lucrative contract. ”

Ji Zhuo looked at the news that Mo came back and paused,

With his mobile phone in hand, he sat down on a stool in the study.

No condition is the biggest condition.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: the previous contract was already very good.

Pen and ink: Compared with the big guy, the new readers you can bring to the website are still a little bit worse than the big guy's current influence.

Penink: The main change to the contract is that the website no longer enjoys a 20% electronic share of your online serialized works. This part of the income also belongs to you, the boss, and the website only withholds taxes.

Bimo: In addition, the non-ink side is ready to transfer or transfer 3% to 6% of the non-ink equity to the big guy. The specific share still needs to be communicated with us and non-Moxi.

Bimo: But there's probably nothing wrong with transferring equity.

Pen and ink: Other than that, it's basically the same as the previous contract, with no additional clauses. ”

Looking at the new contract mentioned by pen and ink, Ji Zhuo paused again.

The content of the contract means that Fei Mo no longer directly earns a penny from Ji Zhuo.

At the same time, he also gave Ji Zhuo an equity.

As for such generous conditions, why there are no additional binding clauses.

Ji Zhuo can think of it casually.

Why did Feimo give Ji Zhuo such favorable conditions, it was nothing more than that he wanted Ji Zhuo's future serialized works to be placed in Feimo, so as to continuously increase readers.

This part of the new readers brought by Ji Zhuo, the new paid readers, is what Fei Mo values the most.

And all of them have given such conditions, and what binding clauses have been added.

It is impossible for Ji Zhuo to go to other websites.

To exaggerate it, Ji Zhuo went to open a website by himself, and it was impossible to make so much profit in the short term.

If under such conditions, Ji Zhuo is still gone, it is estimated that Feimo himself will admit it.

"Bimo: What does the big guy think of this contract? If there are any detailed questions, we can communicate again. ”

"Clumsy and extraordinary: the contract is very generous, and I am not dissatisfied with anything.

Pen and ink: That...... Boss, let's find a time to talk about the signing of this contract in person.

Clumsy and extraordinary: Can you send the contract directly?

Ink:......

Bimo: The big guy is no longer in the magic capital? The website may want to hold a small signing ceremony for publicity.

Clumsy and extraordinary: Can you not show your face?

Ink:??? ”

Sneaking things out of the way do too much,

I feel that my face is exposed to the public, and I feel empty,

This was also Ji Zhuo's first reaction.

These words seemed to stumble the pen and ink on the other side of the penguin chat.

After a while, the news came back again.

"Bimo: If you are too troublesome, the signing ceremony can be omitted. It's just that I want you to go to Feimo.

Pen and ink: the details of the specific negotiation contract.

Clumsy and extraordinary: Okay. So tomorrow afternoon?

Pen and ink: OK. ”

Bimo hurriedly agreed, for fear that there would be any more moths.

Ji Zhuo is here, and he finished chatting with pen and ink.

There are no ups and downs in the mood.

It's just that I'm used to seeing strong winds and waves, and I'm a little numb to this kind of thing.

In the study.

The sunlight from outside is shining through the window and under the window of the house.

The air conditioner turned slightly, blowing some cool breeze.

Ji Zhuo threw away the phone, turned on the computer, and then started today's codeword.

……

The other side.

Delvin Publishing China Capital Branch.

Editor-in-Chief Lou was dealing with work at this moment, and instead of turning his head and glancing at the computer screen lit up next to him,

On the computer screen, the chat history between her and Ji Zhuo was also displayed.

Although Ji Zhuo did not mention when he would reply to the overseas publication question of "Seven Days of Hell",

But she still couldn't help but pay special attention, and she couldn't wait to receive a reply from Ji Zhuo in the next second, and then finalize the overseas publication of this book.

If the publication of "Caged Bird" is an attempt made by her love and optimism about this book.

The successful publication of the overseas version of "Caged Bird" undoubtedly means that this attempt is a great success.

The publication of the overseas edition of "Caged Bird" is the most successful and highest-selling book she has been responsible for so far this year!

After the overseas publication of "Caged Bird", it did not show any unadaptability, conquered a large number of readers from all over the world, and set off a lot of waves in the entire overseas publishing market.

And now after the successful publication of the overseas edition of "Caged Bird", she does not believe that no other major publishing house has set its sights on the author's other works.

Although the writer and Delvin have worked together on a successful basis,

But if the writer had chosen another publishing house, there would have been nothing she could do.

At this time, she is inevitably a little anxious, or careless.

For fear of others, don't have to cut off the other works of this writer by the publishing house.

Then she guessed that she would be uncomfortable for a while.

Editor-in-Chief Lou turned his head,

looked at the chat interface with Ji Zhuo again, and naturally still didn't reply.

She couldn't help but think that it was still a little late for her to contact Ji Zhuo.

In fact, when "Caged Bird" first began to sell overseas, he should have contacted Ji Zhuo to discuss other overseas publishing authorizations.

Now I don't know if any other publishing houses are also contacting Ji Zhuo.

"Knock Knock ......"

"Editor-in-Chief Lou, this is the sales data published by our publishing house last week."

Just when Editor-in-Chief Lou was thinking about these things,

Someone knocked on her office door and walked in.

"Put it here."

Editor-in-chief Lou looked at the computer screen again,

After turning his head again, he picked up the report that the person had put down, and looked at it.

In the first column of the report,

Among the books she is responsible for publishing, the highest selling in the past week is still the overseas version of "Caged Bird".

At present, the cumulative sales of overseas language versions of "Caged Bird" have already exceeded one million copies.

During this period, he also won many awards and honors.

There are many, or a large number of readers, who regard this science fiction book as a classic.

Looking at this report,

Editor-in-chief Lou paid more attention to Ji Zhuo's reply.

Ay...... I guess it's going to take a while.

Why do you have to wait a while longer to discuss the issue of copyright authorization with Shiyue?

……

"Crackling ......"

In the study, the air conditioner was still turning slightly.

Ji Zhuo naturally didn't know about the anxiety of Editor-in-Chief Lou.

Still writing on the computer,

The keyboard clicked and crackled.

Yesterday's listing update,

basically finished the story of the second chapter of "Star Dream".

At this time, Ji Zhuo continued to write a new story in "Star Dream".

The description emerges with the sound of crackling keyboard tapping.

The words that emerge also describe the story of the third chapter of the Star Dream.

Time is also passing in this process.

Outside the window from noon to evening,

And then into the night.

Waiting for the sunset to be blocked by the tall buildings in the distance, the afterglow will dissipate, and the night will come,

Dotted lights dot the city at night.

Ji Zhuo finally stopped his movements again.

"Hoo ......"

Today's writing is relatively smooth,

Ji Zhuo looked at the full content on the codeword software,

I spat out, and I was quite satisfied.

Stretching his sore back again, Ji Zhuo sent today's update out.

Waiting for the update to return to the writer's backstage,

I've also seen a few more new comments.

"Woooooooooo......oo Move!! ”

"The dog author updated it in the early hours of last night, and it's still updated, I'm really, crying to death!"

These comments were silent for Ji Zhuo.

Then the computer was buttoned, and I got up and went out to eat.

……

“…… Daddy, Daddy, can you tell a story now? ”

“…… Well, now it's time for dinner, okay...... But, baby girl, why don't we change the story? ”

Capital New Area.

In the house, this weekend.

Since his daughter got up in the morning, she began to make a fuss about him to listen to the story.

I came back with a trip to the amusement park, and I didn't forget it.

At this time, it's night again, and his daughter naturally wants to hear the story again.

The man hesitated and said to his daughter.

It's really a dog author, this book is always knifed,

His daughter listened to the story of the second chapter of "Dream of the Stars" and cried twice in three days.

I was angry and cried for the first time, and felt that in the second chapter of "Star Dream", the son and daughter-in-law of the old man Xu Deen bullied Xu Deen too much.

Angry and crying.

The second time was yesterday, the old man Xu Deen saw his deceased mother,

In the previous plot, his daughter's eyes began to turn red,

When the woman answered the old man's cry, his daughter began to weep.

Don't cry, don't say it with a crying voice...... They just bullied the old man Xu Deen without a mother.

It will be difficult for men to be distressed.

But think about it...... He wasn't much better.

When I read this story alone, my eyes were still red, and I didn't know where so many grievances came from, so I couldn't help but want to cry.

"No, I want to hear it!"

The little girl listened to her father's proposal and shook her head firmly.

"Alright then......"

The man couldn't hold his daughter, so he took out his phone and sat on the sofa.

Non-ink is turned on.

"Didn't we talk about Old Man Xu Deen yesterday when he heard his mother's response?"

"His mother responded to him and said she was there, she was here."

The chapter that was updated in the early hours of last night was too late, and he naturally hadn't told her daughter yet.

Continuing where we left off.

The girl moved a small stool, sat down in front of the sofa, listened to the story and nodded,

But immediately after, it seems that he thought of the previous plot, and his eyes began to turn red.

"And then ah......"

The man looked at the appearance of his daughter, and continued to talk a little leisurely,

The old man Xu Deen panicked and staggered to open the door. He walked out of the bedroom door with red eyes,"

“…… It turned out that this was his home...... He was at home with his parents, and his mother, who was waiting for him in the living room at this moment, looked at him with a smile. ”

The little girl's eyes turned redder.
