After chatting about the company's topic, Ouyang Die reported to Meng Wen about the sales of new books in the past two days, although it has declined, it can basically remain at about 123,000, which is not bad.

Then, as if by magic, Ouyang Die took out a copy of "Xiao Li Flying Knife" from under the table and handed it to Meng Wen. Meng Wen was stunned. "Great writer, sign it, as your agent, of course, I want to support you, just let you practice signing in advance. ”

Meng Wen didn't care, took the book with a smile, and signed his name with a few strokes. After Meng Wen finished signing, he handed the book to Ouyang Die.

Ouyang Die opened it and glanced at it, and said, "Well, the small characters are good." I think this is your first signature."

Meng Wen thought about it, it was indeed the first time that someone asked him to sign when he was so old, so he casually said "um".

Ouyang Die saw Meng Wen hum, and immediately became happy, and couldn't help but hug the novel and kiss it. said excitedly: "When you really become a big writer in the future, I will take this book out for auction, think about it, how can the famous writer Yonglong sign a book for the first time in his life, how can it sell for hundreds of thousands."

How does Ouyang Die know now that a half-joke now has really come true ten years later. Ten years later, the first signature of Meng Wen's first work "Xiao Li Flying Knife" was put into auction at Dejia International, the largest auction house in Beijing, and was finally auctioned off by Meng Wen's die-hard book fans at a sky-high price of 2.88 million, which was a sensation.

Meng Wen was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect Ouyang Die to be waiting for him here, why didn't he think of it before?

watched Ouyang Die carefully put the book into his bag, and patted the bag with satisfaction. I regret seeing Meng Wen. It's a pity that I won't come back if I give it out.

After Ouyang Die did this qiē, he said with satisfaction: "Seeing that you are so knowledgeable, I will tell you a little secret." ”

"What's the secret?"

"The secret is that Director Wang just now is the younger brother of the vice principal, you rejected him this time, you have to be careful in the future. Beware of him grabbing you by the handle and then punishing you. ”

"It's the vice principal again! Besides, even if it is the vice principal, the school is not opened by their family, and if they say that they will be punished, they will give it" Meng Wen was a little depressed when he heard this, and his heart was cold, how could the people he offended have the support of the vice principal behind him, that Wang Lianhai is like this, this time Director Wang is still like this. Wait, Wang Lianhai and Director Wang are both surnamed Wang, so they won't be alone, right?

"What do you mean by vice principal, how many vice principals do you know? But speaking of this vice principal, you do know it, it is Wang Lianhai's father in your class, this vice principal Wang is in charge of the academic affairs office. Ask for your own blessings. However, you can have a good relationship with your classmate and let him explain to his uncle" Ouyang Die's words confirmed Meng Wen's hunch was right, he was really a person.

"Forget it, I guess President Wang came over this time and was picked up by Wang Lianhai's kid."

Meng Wen is right, this time the president of the school publishing house, President Wang, came over and it was indeed Wang Lianhai who plucked him. According to Wang Lianhai's idea, he first signed the next part of Meng Wen to the school publishing house. As long as the contract is signed, it is not up to you to decide, and when the time comes, let your uncle find a reason not to publish. If it really doesn't work, you can also ask the editor-in-chief to delete it for him, just say that some plots do not meet the requirements of a harmonious society, anyway, it is a martial arts novel, and there are many reasons.

Wang Liang, who is also the president of the school publishing house, heard his nephew's request, and agreed without care. After all, these are all small things, and to be the president of a publishing house, who hasn't done a few things as a card author, especially those students, is even more foolish.

However, just in case, after Wang Liang returned to the publishing house, he also asked the assistant to check the information of Meng Wen. This Meng Wen is really a blockbuster, and the book "Xiao Li Flying Knife" he wrote has sold nearly 100,000 copies in just ten days.

Wang Liang is not a layman like his nephew, and thinks that it is not a big deal to just sell 100,000 copies. Indeed, many famous authors can sell millions, or even tens of millions, of copies at every turn. But those are all authors who have been famous for many years, and they all have their own fixed large fan base, and they are generally annual or quarterly sales.

Meng Wen, as a newcomer, is still in the declining martial arts field, and he can sell 100,000 copies in just ten days, which is not something that can be expressed by just a good word, this is the rhythm of the sky.

Anyway, Wang Liang has been the editor-in-chief for so many years, and his publishing house has never had a newcomer who can sell more than 100,000 in ten days, and the best result before was created by the campus genius writer Guo Jingpei eight years ago. Only 80,000 copies were sold in ten days, and it was this achievement and the help of his brother that he was able to become the president because of the reason for digging Guo Jingpei.

Although later because of the problem of the president's throne, he fell out with Guo Jingpei. At that time, it seemed that he had earned the throne of the president by giving up a well-known author.

Guo Jingpei's family is a suburb of Tianjin, unlike Meng Wen, who has been a blockbuster like Meng Wen, Guo Jingpei himself has been publishing various novels in magazines since he was in high school, and has won the first prize in the national essay competition many times. Because of the odd difference in mathematics, he was recruited into the school by Tianjin University of Technology in the name of special enrollment in 03.

After going to university, Guo Jingpei began to write the novel "Dream Flowers", which was published by Wang Liang, who was still the editor-in-chief, and sold 80,000 copies in just ten days, causing a great sensation in the school.

Over the next three months, 400,000 copies of "Dream Flowers" were sold. At this time, Guo Jingpei proposed to re-divide, at that time Wang Liang had just sat in the position of the president of the publishing house, and the various relationships in the society had not yet been properly handled. I am afraid that if I agree to Guo Jingpei's request, I will cause a backlash from other authors and threaten my position on the throne. In addition, deep down, because of the relationship between becoming the president, Guo Jingming is no longer valued before. So he didn't agree to his request for fear of causing a backlash from other authors.

Since then, there has been a rift between the two, so much so that Guo Jingpei's second book was published directly by the publisher he found. Of course, this is only one of the reasons, and another reason is that Guo Jingpei feels that the school publishing house can no longer provide a broader platform for himself.

In his four years of college, Guo Jingpei has successively published three books: "Left Hand, Right Hand", "Autumn Solstice Has Arrived", and "Sadness Countercurrent", which is his last novel on campus and his most classic novel. The sales volume exceeded one million copies in one week, and it ranked among the top three in the sales ranking of Huaguo books in three days. Guo Jingpei himself joined the Chinese Writers Association in the year of graduation.

The Chinese Writers' Association is not as criticized as it was in the previous life, and the Writers' Association in this life is very sacred in people's hearts, and it is a great thing to be able to join the Writers' Association in people's minds. In fact, the authors who were able to meet the almost perverted membership requirements of the World Writers' Association are indeed quite remarkable.

After graduation, Guo Jingpei founded his own "island" studio, wrote novels, ran magazines, and began to get involved in the film and television industry in recent years, all of which have achieved good results. At present, it ranks 68th on the list of Chinese celebrities, and has been in the top 5 of the Chinese writers rich list for seven consecutive years since 06.

Since 08, Guo Jingpei has entered the Centennial Alumni Fame List of Tianjin University of Technology, and is currently ranked second on the Fame List. And the first place is the current incumbent national leader.

This is also why Wang Liang has always secretly regretted what Guo admires. In recent years, with the growth of Guo Jingpei's fame, Wang Liang's regret has also increased. I expected Guo Jingpei to have today's achievements, and he couldn't let him go when he said anything. It's a pity that I underestimated his potential too much before.

This time, Wang Liang found Meng Wen, who was more beneficial, than Guo Jingpei, and secretly decided in his heart that he couldn't let go of anything this time?

If Meng Wen can agree to sign a contract with the school publishing house, it is easy to say, and his nephew can also persuade him to focus on the overall situation. If he can be flexible, it doesn't matter if he makes a little more profit.

At present, there is a state of polarization in the remuneration of school publishers, which is either very low or very high. The particularly low part of the authors is either not famous or does not know how to be flexible, and the leaders cannot make money and can only find ways to find ways elsewhere. Often, the editor-in-chief signs the author with a lower share rate, but when he gets a contract with a high share rate jointly forged by the Finance Department. In this way, in the future financial settlement, the difference in these shares becomes an additional income for these leaders.

And those authors who understand and adapt will take the initiative to give a part of the commission to the person in charge, and then the company will give me a higher share.

This practice, after Wang Liang came to power, has developed to the extreme, and the leaders inside and outside the society have basically been corroded, forming a stable interest group. This is also why Wang Liang obviously has the help of his brother who is the vice principal, and he would rather be in the position of the president of the publishing house for eight or nine years.

Of course, if Meng Wen does not agree to sign the contract, then he can only kill Meng Wen in advance before he grows up. When the time comes, the province will become another Guo Jingpei. It just so happened that this kid also offended his own nephew. When the time comes, the new accounts and the old accounts will be counted together......

It's a pity that Meng Wen has cut off the possibility of cooperating with the school publishing house from the moment he heard that Wang Liang was Wang Lianhai's uncle.

Since the bar incident, Meng Wen has no hope for Wang Lianhai's moral offline, and if he really wants to sign the school publishing house, Wang Lianhai will definitely come to make trouble.

Then Meng Wen told Ouyang Die about the conflict between himself and Wang Lianhai, and Ouyang Die was also angry, but when Ouyang Die heard that the first beauty in the school was Meng Wen's girlfriend, his heart was a little sour......
