Chapter 302: To each according to his needs

Zhou Mei's face still had a mysterious smile:

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, don't worry, you don't have to worry about the book to us. It's just that...... Now there's a little problem......"

Zhang Jiaze:

"Oh?"

周撅 says:

"You also know that in today's society, it is quite difficult for a newcomer to come out...... Therefore, we hope that this book "Autumn Can't Run White Horse" can have a good sales by taking advantage of the sales momentum of "Spring Can't Fly Butterflies". As you know, publishing houses also need to make a profit. Now, the book "Spring Can't Fly Butterflies" is very popular, and we are also trying to figure out how to maximize the benefits of this book, and now, you just happened to come and sent the manuscript of the second book, so we feel that in such a market background, the launch of the second part of the series of "Spring Can't Fly Butterflies" is very conducive to sales. ”

Zhang Jiaze nodded:

"yes, yes, that's good......"

Zhou Mei seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said her thoughts in one breath:

"So...... In the second book, we also intend to sign Gong Cheng's name......"

When Zhang Jiaze heard this, as if he had been stung by a bee, he stood up from his chair suddenly, almost didn't believe his ears, looked at Zhou Mei aggressively, and said almost in a questioning tone:

"Teacher Zhou, what did you say? The second book is also signed by his name? Is...... Outrageous! ”

Zhang Jiaze's performance seemed to be completely expected by Zhou Mei. Zhou Mei's face still had a mysterious smile:

Mr. Zhang...... Don't get excited, can you listen to me? You know, it's very difficult for a newcomer and a new book to sell 100,000 copies......"

Without waiting for Zhou Mei to finish speaking, Zhang Jiaze replied dissatisfiedly:

"So how did the first book do it? When Gong Cheng first published the book, wasn't it the first time? Isn't it also a newcomer? Everyone has a first time, doesn't it? ”

Zhou Mei opened her mouth, then closed it again, and finally couldn't help it, but still spoke:

"It's not what you see...... Do you know? This Gong Cheng is actually a rich second generation, and his father is a real estate developer, but he has always had a literary dream plot, hoping that one day, he can become a famous writer in China. For the publication of this book, Gong Cheng gave our publishing house a certain fee. ”

Zhang Jiaze didn't expect things to be like this at all, almost didn't believe his ears, and asked:

"What? He gave the fee? ”

Zhou Mei:

"What do you think?"

Zhang Jiaze sighed, thinking in his heart, hey, in the final analysis, this society is still a society that looks at money.

How so?

Zhou Mei continued:

"Now, while Gong Cheng is becoming popular, we are launching a second book, and I am sure that the second book will also be a big seller. When the time comes, the matter of showing up will still be handed over to Gong Cheng, what about you, just collect the money, what do you think? ”

It was only at this time that Zhang Jiaze finally understood what Zhou Mei meant.

Zhou Mei continued:

"People like Gong Cheng are not bad at all; And you, you may need money even more. Isn't it a win-win situation for each of you to take what you need, one for fame and one for profit, and to cooperate with both? ”

Zhang Jiaze closed his lips tightly and did not make a sound.

Zhou Mei continued:

"If I were you, I'd readily say yes. As long as you keep writing, we will continue to publish it for youβ€”in the name of Gong Cheng, of course; As for you, you'll receive a steady stream of manuscript fees. If you think you can, we can sign the contract right away......"

Zhou Mei's words in the future, Zhang Jiaze didn't listen to a word.

Disappointed, he came out of the publishing house and walked lonely down the street, feeling that everything had changed.

Since when did people become so worldly?

For the sake of money, you can do nothing.

Is this really worth learning?

Zhang Jiaze shook his head, right now, the most important thing is to go home and return to his hometown.

People who have left their hometowns, as long as they see the word "hometown", they can't help but be passionate.
