After thinking about it...... However, Li Yuan didn't think about continuing to be a copyist.

But now that you've discovered this advantage, you're welcome, take the opportunity to get more benefits! Anyway, it's chilling to make money, and that's for the child's milk powder money! Ha ha!

"Brother Yuan, our publishing house is willing to pay a basic remuneration of 150,000 Hong Kong dollars. You will be given another 8% cut. Do you see it? ”

This condition is still relatively sincere. That is, regardless of whether it can be sold or not, a signing fee of 150,000 Hong Kong dollars will be paid first, and every time a set of books is sold in the future, you can get 8% of the book price.

Of course, there must be room here, which will give Li Yuan room to talk about the price.

However, as soon as Li Yuan wanted to speak, he saw Ying Xin beside him eager to try.

All right! Since this silly girl especially likes to bargain, let's satisfy her once and let her have a good time! Anyway, I don't know the market in the Hong Kong publishing circle, so let this stupid girl find out first.

Finding that Li Yuan's eyes expressed support, Ying Xin's spirit was greatly lifted: "Boss Ruan, your price is too low, right?" Didn't you just say that more than 30,000 units have been sold in Hong Kong? You have long since secured the harvest in drought and flood. So be it! If you let it a little more, at least 300,000 basic remuneration, and 10% of the share. ”

Ruan Liangying immediately complained with a bitter face: "Miss Ying, is this a little let?" You can go to Hong Kong and ask, this condition is very favorable. If you don't believe me, just ask Miss Three to see if I lied to you. ”

"Huh." Huang Jiaojiao made a gesture of not helping each other, "You are all my friends." You can talk about it as you want, and you don't have to think about me. ”

"Alright then!" Ruan Liangying "struggled" and made concessions, "We paid 180,000, 8.2% of the distribution?" ”

"At least more than 250,000, 9.5% of the share!" Ying Xin had already rolled up her sleeves.

"No! Our publishing house is a small business......"

"Isn't the publishing house your family? You big bosses in Hong Kong are still so stingy......"

“……”

Li Yuan happily watched the two bargain, and basically judged the bottom line of the publishing house.

Of course, if this A-Ying is a top negotiator and is full of acting talent, it will indeed be misleading. But...... It wouldn't be that unlucky, would it?

But it doesn't matter if you're unlucky, Li Yuan already has his own negotiation plan.

"A-Ying, let's rest for a while." Li Yuan interrupted the negotiation between the two, "I heard you just now, after many people bought the book "Casino", they copied the riotous words in it and recorded it in their own small notebook? ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Yuan. They also called this thing "The Book of Sao Words". Hehe. Ruan Liangying smiled and nodded. It's also a lace anecdote about "Casino".

"Then why don't we dedicate a book like this?"

"Huh?" The servants exclaimed in unison. Ruan Liangying was still most familiar with the situation in the publishing industry, and he slapped the table excitedly, "Ah! That's right! ”

Seeing that the two women on the side were still a little confused, Ruan Liangying excitedly explained: "We only need to extract the riots in the casino, and we can directly print a new book." Can do a book sell twice. Brother Yuan, I really admire you! Hahaha. ”

"Huh."

Li Yuan smiled slightly. In the future era of big IP, we will not suck the bone around the periphery, and desperately squeeze out the last bit of surplus value. Are you embarrassed to go out and say hello? Isn't this the basic?

"A-Ying, it's not just that. Remind you that "Casino" is a military history work after all, and the audience of readers is relatively small. And it is also a large set of four volumes, and the price of the book is relatively expensive. On the contrary, it is the book "Sao's Words", which has a wide audience and can be of good quality and low price. As you said, "Casino" has a good chance of surpassing 100,000 sales. So this "Collection of Sao Words" should have at least 300,000 sales? ”

Ruan Liangying hesitated: "Brother Yuan, the people who bought "Casino" before should not buy it again, right?" ”

"Huh. It's easy. Readers should be interested in me as an author, right? Then add some photos of me, as well as an introduction to my experience, an interview or something. Wouldn't it be enough to add a few more sassy words? ”

Everyone was stunned, this is ...... Tian ** business, right? There is no doubt that with the phenomenal performance of "Casino", this "Collection of Riots" will definitely become a bestseller.

Li Yuan continued with a smile: "The name of "Sao Tale Collection" is too ugly. It's still called ...... "The World Flows Out of My Generation"! What do you think? ”

""The World Flows Out of My Generation"?"

Huang Jiaojiao on the side sighed with a smile: "Now I believe it." It's this kind of underpaid person who will come up with so many underpaid words. ”

Ying Xin grinned and said, "His nonsense words are to deceive those ignorant people. Even if it is placed in front of me, I don't even look at it. Hum. ”

Li Yuanle spoke up: "Sister Xinxin, don't sigh. Your turn. Keep talking? ”

"Holo." Ying Xin directly rolled up her sleeves, "Boss Ruan, it's two books now, let's talk about ......"

"Please! Miss Ying, kill me! ……”

"Hahaha......"

“……”

After a fierce fight, the two sides finally signed the contract.

The first is the exclusive Hong Kong publishing rights of the two books "The Vast Ocean is a Casino" and "The World Flows Out of My Generation".

The two books will be paid a total of HK$500,000 for the basic remuneration. "The Ocean is a Casino" received an 8.8% share. "The World Merry Flows Out of My Generation" won a 12% share ratio.

And "The World Flows Out of My Generation" will wait until next year's Spring Festival before the later release. At that time, Li Yuan is obliged to go to Hong Kong to participate in public activities such as on-site book signing and book fan meetings.

In addition, this Daifuku publishing house in Hong Kong, they were granted the overseas distribution rights for two books within five years. A 10% affiliate commission will be paid.

In East and Southeast Asia, Daifuku Publishing House still has certain connections. In particular, the Chinese publishing house there has a lot of business dealings.

As for giving Ruan Liangying their agency, it can be regarded as a little reward given to them by Li Yuan!

After signing the contract, it's time for the trifles. Including the basic remuneration of 500,000 yuan, as well as the first share of "Casino", a total of more than 713,000 Hong Kong dollars, will be Li Yuan directly open a foreign exchange account in the Bank of China.

By the way, in this era, mainland writers did not have to pay taxes on the remuneration they received. Income tax is essentially fully exempt. This is also one of the places where the writer is crooked.

In the end, Li Yuan smiled and pointed at Ying Xin, and said to Ruan Liangying: "The reporter of "Merry" will look for her! Xin Xin, she is also a senior student of the Chinese Department of Beijing University. ”

Ruan Liangying understood in seconds: "Of course, it's a problem." We will give Miss Ying 5,000 for pen polishing. ”

Ying Xin was directly stupid: "Me? Reporter? ”

"Huh."
