"What's the matter?"

Cao De turned his head and looked at Tang Judy with a puzzled expression.

"Little brother, can you show me your manuscript?" After taking a puff of her cigarette, Tang Judy said softly.

"Give!" Cao De thought for a moment and handed over the manuscript paper in his hand.

It's okay to show the manuscript to others!

After Tang Judy took the manuscript paper, she found a random spot on the side, sat down and looked at it carefully.

A moment later!

"Okay, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people to be poor!!" As if seeing something exciting, Tang Judy patted her thigh and couldn't help but exclaim.

After that, she was still unsatisfied, handed the manuscript paper in her hand to Chen Lang, and said, "I think it's very good, take a look!" ”

Not bad!?

Chen Lang took the manuscript paper with a little curiosity and looked at it.

Half ring!

"Sort of... Odd? ”

After reading it, Chen Lang pondered for a long time, frowned, and gave such an answer.

"Strange!?" Tang Judy was a little curious about why she used these two words to evaluate.

"To be honest, this novel is the weirdest novel I've seen in all my years in the industry!"

"The writing is very average, the content is also very straightforward, and the writing style of popular novels on the market is not the same, but the setting is novel, the pace is fast, and the plot also makes people feel unusually cool!"

"If I had to find one word to describe it, I would only use fast food to describe this novel!"

"It's like fast food, it's convenient, fast, filling, and it tastes good!" Chen Lang thought about it and gave such an answer.

"You say, if this is put in the newspaper, can it be popular?" She asked directly.

She is not an industry insider, and she is still a little foggy about Chen Lang's evaluation.

"Not sure!"

Chen Lang shook his head and said, "The writing is ordinary and the content is straightforward, which will cause disgust among some of the more old-fashioned readers, but the setting is novel, the rhythm is fast, the plot is cool, and it is easy to attract some people who don't read novels themselves!" ”

After a pause, he continued, "And because there are no such examples on the market before, I can't tell if this novel will be popular!" All it can be said is... There is a chance of fire! ”

Chance of fire?

Hearing this, Tang Judy raised her eyebrows, and made a decision in her heart.

She turned her head to look at Cao De, with an interested expression on her face, and said, "Little brother is quite powerful, even Chen Lang, who has been in the industry for so many years, has been stumped by you!" ”

After a pause, her voice changed, and she said, "That's it, a thousand words and a thousand yuan, I want this novel for you?" What do you think? ”

The words fell!

Cao De was stunned.

Not because the money is too little, but because there is too much.

He had inquired before.

Now the highest manuscript fee on the market is Ni Frame, which can reach two or three thousand words.

But this is just an extremely rare case, and it cannot be used as a reference!

Generally speaking, the lowest level of authors on the market has tens to hundreds of words, the middle level is hundreds, and the top level can be thousands.

And Cao De, as a newcomer, has directly come to the thousands, and this treatment is simply beyond imagination.

Even Cao De himself never thought that he would take so much!

"Sure enough, it's a rich woman, and it's generous!"

Cao De sighed secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he still frowned, and hesitated to speak, "Are you sure?" I've written 100,000 words in this novel so far, and I expect to finish writing more than 5 million words, are you sure to give that much? ”

The novels on the market now, at most, are hundreds of thousands of words, and they are only millions.

Five million words is absolutely unique.

So, it must be made clear first.

Otherwise, the other party may think that they are taking advantage of the opportunity!

The other side!

Five million words?

Tang Judy was also stunned for a moment when she listened.

But in an instant, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, waved her hand, and said with great grandeur, "As long as you can write and write well, what about five million?" It's just a small amount of money for me! ”

After a pause, she added, "Of course, the villain first and then the gentleman!" ”

"We also have to take into account the result of your bad writing or bad market response, so we need to add a clause to the contract, once you write badly or the market response is not good, we have the right to terminate the contract at any time!"

"No problem!"

Since the other party said so, Cao De had nothing to hesitate, of course, he agreed directly.

"Go get the contract!"

Tang Judy commanded Chen Lang to the side.

"Yes!"

Although Chen Lang felt that this price was not suitable, after all, Cao De was just a newcomer.

But the boss spoke, can he still refuse?

So!

He went directly to the office and got two contracts as instructed.

"Give, the contract is in duplicate, you keep one and give me one!"

"Give me that signature, and remember to write your current address and contact information in the corner so that we can contact you so that we can send you money!" Chen Lang handed the contract to Cao De and handed him a pen.

Cao De nodded and took the contract.

But he didn't rush to sign it, but looked at it carefully.

Although there is a high probability that the other party will not lie to himself, but be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, he doesn't want to sign a contract because of carelessness, so that one mistake will become a thousand years of hatred!

However, it turns out!

He really took the belly of the king with the heart of a villain.

The contract is normal and there is nothing wrong with it.

So, he signed his name directly on both contracts, and wrote his address and his contact information in the corners of the contracts.

Forthwith!

He returned one of them to Chen Lang, then turned his head to Tang Judi and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mrs. Wang, for your appreciation!" ”

Tang Judy is just her name, and her identity is the wife of the rich Wang Million.

According to the rules of Xiangjiang, people generally call her Mrs. Wang to show respect.

"Mrs. Wang?"

Tang Judy listened to the title, as if she had thought of something, a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed in her eyes, and then she immediately returned to normal, smiled lightly, spit out a puff of cigarette, and laughed, "It's too old to be called so, call it sister!" ”

"Yes, sister!"

Cao De is as good as a stream.

The rich one in these years is the uncle, such a proud rich woman, what about calling her sister?

Although he was worth hundreds of millions of dollars before he was reborn, he also climbed up from the bottom, and being able to bend and stretch is his housekeeping skill!

Besides!

Tang Judi looks like she is in her twenties at most, and with Cao De's age now, it is just right to call her sister.

"That's right!"

After Tang Judi showed a look of satisfaction, her voice changed, and she said, "Okay, you just said that you wrote 100,000 words, what about the rest of the manuscript?" Take it and let my sister see it first! ”

Just now, Cao De gave a copy of the beginning of 30,000 words, and she didn't feel like it was enjoyable to read, and now she wants to continue reading.

"Here!"

Cao De immediately handed over the manuscript he had brought with him.

After Tang Judy took the manuscript, she casually found a place on the side and read it with relish.

Seeing this scene.

"Now that the contracts have been signed, then... I'll go first! Cao De also said goodbye.

Now that the contract for the manuscript has been signed, he has no intention of staying here anymore, so he is ready to leave.

"Wait!"

But Judy Tong stopped him again.

In Cao De's puzzled face, she took out two stacks of packaged big golden bulls (thousand-yuan bills) from the small bag she carried, opened one of them and counted twenty sheets, and handed it to Cao De along with the other complete stack.

"100,000 is your manuscript fee!"

Tang Judy said, a smile appeared on his face, and said lightly, "Twenty thousand more... I'm rewarding you! Well written! ”

"Sister is atmospheric!" Cao De's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up and praised.

Normally, the manuscript fee will be paid at the beginning of the month or month after the manuscript is published, and there is no rule that the manuscript will be paid after delivery.

What's more, Tang Judy also directly rewarded 20,000 yuan, isn't this atmosphere?

"The little mouth is so sweet!"

Tang Judy listened, took another ten and threw them to him, and said with a smile, "Come, sister will reward you with another 10,000!" ”

"Thank you, sister!"

Immediately, Cao De's eyes lit up again, and he hurriedly took the money.

"This world is very chaotic, 130,000 yuan is not a small amount, be careful on the way back, don't show the money, otherwise you will have no place to cry if you are robbed!"

"The best thing to do, find a bank to deposit on the way!" Tang Judy kindly reminded.

"Understood, sister!" Cao De smiled and nodded.

Indeed, as Judy Tong said, this world is quite chaotic.

If 130,000 are put out, they may be targeted every minute.

Of course!

Cao De also did not want to deposit in the bank.

He is going to use it directly, buy something useful from the system, and use it as the capital to settle down in this era.

Even if there is a remnant in the end, it is a loss of carry-on space.

No bank can compare to the security of carry-on space!

However, Tang Judi is also well-intentioned, and Cao De naturally can't say anything to refuse.

Subsequently!

Cao De said again, "That sister, I'll go first!" ”

Tang Judy waved his hand and didn't speak again.

Seeing this, Cao De also turned around and left.

---

After Cao De left!

Chen Lang on the side took advantage of the time he spent alone with Tang Judi and asked cautiously, "Boss, he's just a newcomer, isn't it a bit of a thousand words... Too much? ”

Cao De was here just now, and he didn't dare to ask this question.

Because the thousand words and thousands of yuan were proposed by Tang Judi, if he wanted to ask, it was equivalent to refuting his boss's face in front of outsiders.

But now that only he and the boss are left, naturally there is no need to be so careful.

"Huh!"

Tang Judy chuckled and said confidently, "I don't understand the newspaper industry, but I know that everything must pay attention to a gimmick, and only if there is a gimmick, will it attract attention and everything will go smoothly!" ”

As she spoke, she looked at Chen Lang and said quietly, "So... Do you think this thousand words and thousands of dollars are just manuscript fees? No, it's still publicity money!

"Oh!"

As soon as Tang Judi said this, Chen Lang patted his head and suddenly realized.

As a veteran of the newspaper industry, he immediately understood Tang Judy's intentions.

As a newcomer, it is absolutely remarkable to be able to directly get a remuneration of thousands of words and thousands of yuan.

At that time, as long as it is promoted, Cao De's "Fighting Horses" will immediately attract countless good deeds to watch.

Everyone will want to see what kind of person and what kind of novel can get such a high salary as soon as they enter the industry.

As a newspaper serialized in "Fighting Horses", it will naturally increase sales a lot at that time.

Meantime!

If the book is well received after serialization, it goes without saying that it will continue to attract readers, increase newspaper sales, and break the situation that Xinwan Daily is targeted by other newspapers.

Even if the response is not good after serialization, the remuneration of thousands of words and thousands of yuan will give the relevant personnel in the industry an illusion--- Xinwan Daily is stupid and has a lot of money!

Under this illusion, even if Xinwan Daily is targeted by other newspapers in the industry, there will be people, and some well-known authors do not care about the threat of other newspapers and join Xinwan Daily.

After all, no one can get along with money!

Xinwan Daily will naturally be able to break the situation of being targeted by other newspapers in front of it.

In other words, no matter whether the response is good or bad, they will not lose the manuscript fee of thousands of words and thousands of yuan!

"High, really high!" Chen Lang patted a sycophant.

"You~ less sycophants!"

Tang Judy smiled slightly, lowered her head and continued to look at the manuscript in her hand.
