Cao De couldn't help frowning when he listened to Chen Lang's words.

He said, "I can understand the next novel, at the current pace the novel will be updated at the end of next month at most, it's time to talk about the next novel!" ”

"But the publication of the novel still has a stake in your newspaper, so what's there to talk about? I remember, your newspaper shouldn't be publishing, right? ”

Because of the genetic medicine, Cao De's writing speed has been further accelerated.

It used to take four or five hours to complete 30,000 words, but now it only takes two or three hours.

Coupled with the previous manuscripts, Cao De had completed all the drafts in these two days and handed them over to Chen Lang.

And at the current speed of serialization, the serialization will probably end at the end of next month!

Therefore, Chen Lang wants to talk about the next novel, which he can understand.

But for the rest, he doesn't understand it!

"Our newspaper recently acquired a small publishing house, and we want to make a name for it, so we want to talk to you about the publication of novels!" Chen Lang explained.

"Oh!"

Cao De suddenly realized.

It turned out that the newspaper had acquired a small publishing house, so I was going to talk to him about the publication of "Fighting Horses"!

"The newspaper buys the publishing house... That's a great idea! Newspaper sales have reached the point where you are now, and it is almost impossible to increase it any further! After all, there are so many people in Xiangjiang, and there are so many people who read the newspaper! ”

"In this case, if the newspaper still wants to become bigger, then in addition to acquiring printing factories, it is to acquire related industries such as publishing houses, but I remember that you had an exclusive small printing factory before, so you bought the publishing house!" Cao De thought for a while and said.

"That's right!"

Chen Lang responded with a smile, "However, if the publishing house wants to become bigger, it must have good books to publish, but the name of our current publishing house is too small, and no well-known writers are willing to publish in our publishing house, so I want to talk to you to see if I can get the publishing rights of "Fighting Horses"!" ”

"With the quality of this novel, it should be able to make a name for our publishing house, and after having a name, naturally more writers will be willing to come to us!"

"Of course, everyone is an old friend, and we won't treat you badly!"

"Normally, when publishing a book, newcomers either get a fixed manuscript fee, or at most three or four percent of the share, while the old authors are only about ten percent, and the top ones can reach fifteen!"

"Let's just give you 20 percent!"

Twenty?

That's definitely a very sincere number!

The publication of a book requires not only the shipping channel, but also the printing cost, transportation cost, etc., which itself costs more than 50% of the sales price.

In addition, when selling, middlemen and sellers also have to make money, right?

In this way, the profit left to the publishing house is only thirty or forty, and it also has to bear the risk of printing too much and selling too little at a loss.

So, under normal circumstances, the author can get a maximum of 15 percent.

Of course!

The reason why he gave an extraordinary price was not that Chen Langren was stupid and had a lot of money.

On the one hand, he really needed a book that would make a name for himself.

On the other hand, Cao De's novels have been verified by the market, and this price makes the publisher make less money at most, and it is absolutely impossible to lose!

"Done!"

Cao De decisively agreed.

Not to mention that he helped him publish Huang Ziyang's news before, and he also owed a personal favor, so he said that other publishing houses couldn't afford such a sincere price, so he agreed!

But then, Cao De thought of something again, and asked, "By the way, what happened to the newspaper's shares?" ”

"Look at this!"

Chen Lang smiled slightly, took out a document from his desk, and gave it to Cao De.

Cao De opened it and looked at it, and immediately showed an incredible expression on his face.

He looked at Chen Lang and couldn't help but say, "Share transfer agreement? ”

That's right!

In front of me was a share transfer agreement.

Tang Judi transferred 30 percent of the newspaper's shares to Cao De.

This surprised Cao De!

Although he has a good relationship with Tang Judi, he is not so good that he gives away shares for nothing, right?

"You keep looking, it's conditional!" Chen Lang said.

Conditional?

Cao De raised his eyebrows and continued to look down.

After that, he showed a blank expression.

This share transfer agreement is indeed conditional.

Just one!

In the future, the novels written by Cao De could only be published in Xinwan Daily.

However, this article is no less than the value of 30% of the shares.

You must know that the reason why Xinwan Daily can have today is that Cao De does not say that he has all the credit, but at least it accounts for more than eighty percent of the credit.

If Cao De's novels are no longer published by Xinwan Daily in the future, then the newspaper sales of Xinwan Daily will return to the original, but it will definitely collapse, and the value of the newspaper will also collapse at that time, and it may not even be 30% of what it is now!

But if Cao De is tied up with 30% of the shares, then there is no need to worry about this problem!

In this way, the newspaper still earns!

Of course!

There's nothing wrong with that.

But 30% of the shares are indeed very sincere and courageous.

You must know that Tang Judy herself has invested tens of millions in the newspaper.

Once he signed this agreement, it would be equivalent to taking millions of Tang Judy for nothing.

Again!

As a reborn, it is natural to know how important it is to have your own voice and an institution that can control public opinion.

If nothing else, just these two times.

Whether it is McDonald Chicken or Huang Ziyang, he relied on public opinion to bring him down.

Therefore, if he did not have the 30 percent stake of Xinwan Daily, he would have found a way to establish his own newspaper in the future.

And now, since the other party sent it to the door himself, it is also saved for him to establish his own newspaper.

Thinking of this, Cao De directly took a pen and signed his name on the contract.

"Now I can't call you Mr. Cao, I'm going to call you boss!" Chen Lang watched Cao De sign his name and joked with a smile.

"It's still the same as before, after all, I can only be regarded as a minority shareholder!" Cao De waved his hand.

"Okay!"

After Chen Lang responded with a smile, his voice changed, and he said with a straight face, "Now, it's time for us to talk about the novel!" I would like to ask, what are your plans for the next book? After all, it's only a little more than a month before this book is finished? ”

"I've got an idea for the next one!"

Cao De responded with a deep groan, "I'll think about it more when I go back, and I should be able to give it to you before the end of the fighting horse!" ”

"That's great!"

Chen Lang's eyes lit up and said, "In this way, it can be seamless!" ”

As he spoke, as if he remembered something, he restrained his smile and said, "By the way, this novel is given by 2,000 words per thousand, what do you think?" ”

One yard to one yard!

Although Cao De has a stake in the newspaper, he must also be paid for the manuscript, and it cannot be mixed up.

Before, Cao De's remuneration was thousands of words, but at that time, Cao De did not prove his strength, but now that it has been proven, it will naturally be more.

2,000 words is a more suitable price!

"Done!"

Cao De agreed without any hesitation!

On the one hand, this price is indeed the highest price that can be given in the industry.

Again!

He's a shareholder of the newspaper now!

No matter how much he gives, he can earn it in the end.

The more he is paid, the more his direct income will be.

The remuneration is less, the newspaper earns more, and his income is also more!

Anyway, he doesn't lose!
