"This seven-inch blade. What's your last name? ”

Pei Wencong was silent for at least ten seconds before calmly talking to the seven-inch blade on the other end of the phone.

Although the other party's tone was very impulsive, he Pei Wencong was a graduate of Hong Kong University after all, and he couldn't be a gangster in Causeway Bay.

But the voice on the other end of the phone was still cold and straightforward: "What is my surname, does it have anything to do with the two conditions I just mentioned?" ”

“.”

Pei Wencong's fingers couldn't help but clench the phone microphone, angry and surprised.

He didn't understand that they were also "literati" from the mainland, so why was the gap so big?

When Pei Wencong used to deal with Blue Ocean Publishing House, Blue Ocean Publishing House has always been very polite.

Pei Wencong only spent a few hundred Hong Kong dollars to help them buy a few cutting-edge literary journals in the world, and he will be sincerely grateful.

In the process of talking to each other recently, the blue ocean side has embodied "friendship and respect" to the extreme.

Whenever Pei Wencong calls him, there will inevitably be the main leaders of the Blue Ocean Publishing House who will talk to him, and ordinary small staff will not dare to answer at will.

But now this seven-inch blade on the other side, why is it hanging like this?

"Then I'll call you sir," Pei Wencong said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Sir, the publicity and sale of "Flying in the Wind" has just begun, and it has not yet reached the stage of profitability, so your requirement of 20% profit is not valid. ”

"Isn't that true?" Li Ye said indifferently: "How much profit did you make every month before publishing "Shuofeng Feiyang"? ”

Pei Wencong can't say that before the publication of "The Wind Flying", he was in a very bad situation, and he didn't have much profit.

He had no choice but to say: "This is not easy to say, and besides, this is also a trade secret." ”

Li Ye didn't entangle with him, and said directly: "Then subtract the profit you made after publishing "The Wind Flying", and subtract the previous profit, I want 20% of the difference between the two, is there a problem?" ”

You're so smart!

Pei Wencong really admires, who said that the people in the north are all proletarian brothers with ancient roads? Isn't this the same as the capital crocodiles on Hong Kong Island?

Of course, maybe it's a little better, because in the case of Pei Wencong, there is a high probability that the capital crocodile will eat him directly.

"Sir, 20% is not appropriate, you are just a work, and there are many other authors' works in our publication."

Pei Wencong finally paid attention to it and put on a bargaining posture with Li Ye.

But Li Ye said: "You think 20% is not suitable, what about 25%?" ”

Pei Wencong wanted to leave the phone directly.

Do you really think this is a turf grab? Whoever is more vicious will prevail?

But now Pei Wencong needs this "The Wind is Flying", otherwise he would not dare to sign a contract with the book association, and he would lose the opportunity to turn over.

However, Pei Wencong has been in the industry for more than ten years, and he has also seen a lot of difficult people.

So he immediately changed the topic and said: "Sir, we have a dispute about the 20% profit, so let's talk about the second question first, okay?" ”

Li Ye said briefly: "Yes, but don't talk too much nonsense, I don't like to go around the corner." ”

Pei Wencong had adapted to Li Ye's way of speaking, and said calmly: "Sir, you want me to send out an invitation letter, please come to Hong Kong Island to have a look, it is reasonable for me to do it,

However, the invitation letter is not issued casually, it takes time to apply for it, and I can't determine the specific time. ”

As soon as Pei Wencong finished speaking, a puzzled question came from the other end of the phone: "Three months, isn't it enough for you to develop?"

If you can't sell "The Flying Wind" in three months, are you still a graduate of HKU? At that point, what is an invitation? ”

“.”

Pei Wencong finally felt surprised, because the seven-inch blade on the opposite side seemed to have guessed the popularity of "The Wind Flying".

He didn't tell Blue Ocean Publishing House about the sales of "The Wind Flying".

It is true that if you can sign a contract with the book association, with Pei Wencong's ability, three months is enough to reinvent the Talang Literary Publishing House.

is the same taxpayer, and there is also a level, Pei Wencong three months later is also a different card from the current Pei Wencong.

"Okay sir, I will definitely get the invitation, and when the time comes, I will take my husband to appreciate the style of the Pearl of the Orient and take a look at Lion Rock and Ocean Park."

You can't agree to anything as soon as you come up, Pei Wencong thinks it's time to get started.

He is very clear about the desire of mainlanders to come to Hong Kong Island.

In the past 20 years, many mainlanders have swam to Hong Kong Island, and they are willing to take the name of black households.

And those mainlanders who come on a business trip are also full of envy and yearning for the prosperity of Hong Kong Island, and just a marine park makes them linger.

But Li Ye continued: "I'm not interested in Ocean Park, I want to see Victoria Harbour, and I also want to see Kowloon Tong.

I want to see if there are any teenagers racing on Castle Peak Road, I want to see if there are really so many immortals in the middle of the mountain, right, Boss Pei, you have a mansion in the middle of the mountain, right? ”

If I had a mansion in the middle of the mountain, I wouldn't have said more than half a word to you, grass!

Pei Wencong couldn't help but scolded his mother a few times in his heart, so that he couldn't get dirty.

Who will be buried?

Who are the people living in the middle of the mountain? Will I talk to you about this kind of small business that is tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions at most?

But Li Ye didn't wait for him to answer, and said: "Of course, I am most interested in the cultural market on Hong Kong Island, and I want to visit Chung Hwa Book Company, Joint Bookstore, Commercial Press, and Mingzhuang Publishing House."

Pei Wencong listened to Li Ye's general description of "reporting the name of the dish" in a daze, and after Li Ye reported the names of more than 20 publishing houses, the calmness and superiority in his heart had long been gone.

[It turned out that this seven-inch blade knew Hong Kong Island, but in fact, from the beginning, he guessed that I was just a small shrimp. 】

When Pei Wencong was dealing with Blue Ocean Publishing House, he always maintained the style of "Hong Kong Island businessman".

But now he understands that this seven-inch blade has seen through his details.

There is no mansion in the mid-mountainous area, the publishing house is not famous, and I dare not say that I can turn over for three months. Unconsciously, the seven-inch blade had already gently picked off his Pei Wencong's scar.

Pei Wencong lamented for a second and made a decision.

"Sir, long-distance phone calls are quite expensive, I will get you an invitation letter during the Spring Festival,

Let's talk about profit sharing! I think 20% is reasonable. ”

Pei Wencong was a little apprehensive, he was afraid that the seven-inch blade on the opposite side would say something more about 25% or 30%.

At this time, he has no bargaining chips.

As long as the seven-inch blade writes a letter to Sanlian Bookstore and the Commercial Press, saying that the copyright of "The Wind is Flying" is not in the hands of Treading Wave Publishing House, then he Pei Wencong's efforts for more than a month are to make wedding dresses for others.

worked hard to make "The Wind Flying" famous, and then let those big fish pick peaches?

He Pei Wencong was unwilling.

As for the profit of 20% of the seven-inch blade, you can make some articles when the time comes

Thinking of this, Pei Wencong suddenly remembered what Li Ye said on the phone just now - don't play tricks.

Do you want to play tricks?

Will the gains outweigh the losses?

。。。。。。

Li Ye hung up the phone in the Xicheng Post and Telecommunications Bureau, curled the corners of his mouth, and chuckled.

He once considered that it would not be a large publishing house that could get in touch with Blue Ocean Publishing House, after all, Blue Ocean was not a cultural unit of Taishan Beidou in the mainland.

But I didn't expect that the other party was so weak.

Li Ye is still young, so when talking to the other party, he can't be polite and humble, which will only make people look down on him.

Therefore, Li Ye highlighted one that was simply decisive and the other was "unreasonable".

But on the side of the Treading Wave Literature Society, there was no intention to resist.

In other words, he didn't have the confidence to lift the table and pull his sister domineeringly, and he didn't even have the courage to slap the table with Li Ye.

Either Pei Wencong is a little Karami who has no strength and catches mosquitoes is meat, or he is a cunning and cunning untrustworthy person who is ready not to fulfill his promises.

As far as the current situation between the mainland and Hong Kong Island is concerned, it is not difficult for the other side to play tricks.

But so what?

He Pei Wencong can play tricks, but Li Ye can't play tricks?

Halfway to you to break the serial, and then ruthlessly give you the entire special version, unconsciously turn around the ditch, the Hong Kong British government may want to invite you to tea!

Li Ye dialed the phone number of Blue Ocean Dong Yuejin again.

"Brother Dong, has your reprint contract been prepared? If you're ready, find someone to send it over and sign it! ”

Dong Yuejin over there paused for a moment, and scolded with a smile: "It's been prepared a long time ago, just wait for your big writer to nod and agree!" But when you kid signed the contract, did you already anticipate today's situation? ”

It turned out that when Li Ye signed the contract with Dong Yuejin, he all indicated that it was the right to sell in the mainland.

At that time, the blue ocean didn't expect that a broken book could be exported to earn foreign exchange, so he skipped it without care.

As a result, now, I have to sign another contract with Li Ye to make a layer of profit.

Li Ye also smiled and said: "The times are changing, we can all look at things from the perspective of development, and besides, you also picked up this money for nothing, I just share a little benefit, not too much." ”

"Brother, you can't say that," Dong Yuejin said solemnly: "No matter how famous you are in the mainland, you are just a person, and our blue ocean is an official unit.

I don't want to ask why you insist on connecting with Hong Kong Island, but my eldest brother can remind you that aside from Blue Ocean Publishing House, any agreement you have with Hong Kong Island may not be effective, and the capitalists will not talk to you about credibility. ”

"The eldest brother I know, effectiveness, comes from strength."

"Hey, what you said is right, that is, you have to have strength, and our blue ocean has strength."

“.”

Li Ye didn't want to explain to Dong Yuejin, the "strength" he said was not a blue ocean.

In the current situation, Hong Kong Island really wants to play tricks, and there is no way for the blue ocean to do it.

But Li Yecai didn't believe Pei Wencong and couldn't see the strength of "The Wind Flying".

If you want to say that the home on Hong Kong Island is also a gathering of heroes, Gu Liangjin is a generation of people.

However, "The Wind Blows" is a literary work that spans nearly 30 years, and the author writes on the shoulders of his predecessors, both in terms of vision and control of the reader's mentality, which is far beyond the level of the 80s.

The predecessors used countless works to test the preferences of readers, and the later generations absorbed them all unconsciously.

Nowadays, many people just think that "The Wind is Flying" is very cool to read, but the core inside is completely different.

"Li Ye, how did you talk to Hong Kong Island? Are they willing to send you an invitation? ”

Dong Yuejin tried his best to control his tone so that Li Ye would not feel his strangeness.

When the club held a meeting, it was said that let the seven-inch blade test the water, see the attitude of Hong Kong Island, and if it is feasible, they can also get an invitation letter!

Anyway, the seven-inch blade is young, and there is no shame in being rejected.

"People say they want to apply, it's not easy to do," Li Ye said: "I won't talk to you about Brother Dong, there may be a similar work submitted to you recently, take care of it when the time comes." ”

"Similar works? What works? ”

"The name hasn't been decided yet, but the mailing address should be Jingjing University."

"Oh, that invitation"

"Doodoo~"

Dong Yuejin listened to the busy tone on the phone, shook his head, and said self-deprecatingly: "How can it be so easy!" ”

。。。。。。

Li Ye hung up the phone, and in the stunned eyes of the post office staff, he settled the phone bill.

This year's big dozens of dollars are really not small money.

Ride a bicycle and go to Li Huaisheng slowly, today is the last day of the new mail, if it is late, it will not be able to catch up with the next issue of "New Wind" to be printed.

Li Ye arrived at Li Huaisheng's activity room, and before he entered the door, several people pushed each other with Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin and were squeezed out of the door.

These people are not as strong as Li Huaisheng, they don't take advantage of pushing and shoving, but they don't forgive people: "What do you promote history and culture?" It's the feudal dross picked up from the garbage heap,

It is a shame for you to be cultivated by the new society, but to preach and praise the decaying feudal dynasty, and it is a fool to publish your articles. ”

Li Huaisheng and the others were also red-faced, obviously angry.

Yang Yumin, who has always been good-tempered, copied a mop stick and scolded a few people outside the door.

"You write your poems, we write ours, if you dare to say one more word, I will knock you on the head with a stick."

"You knock, you knock, I'll hide you and count you as powerful."

The poet outside had a hard mouth, but his body was involuntarily pushed away by Li Huaisheng, and finally left angrily.

Yang Yumin threw down the mop and looked at Li Ye, who was laughing and watching the excitement, and was angry.

"Little brother, it's a coincidence that you came today, you saw a good joke, and you have to buy a ticket."

Li Ye didn't care about his teasing and asked, "Who are those two?" What kind of grudge do you have against us? ”

"Two great poets," Li Huaisheng snorted coldly, and pouted towards the activity room: "That's a grudge, but no one will admit it." ”

Li Ye took two steps forward, raised his eyes and looked in, and found a girl with a very tall head.

A long braid, neatly placed behind the back, exudes a capable atmosphere.

Li Ye whispered: "Who is this who wants to be jealous?" ”

"The fart is jealous, people just like to read what we write, they don't like to hear them read poems, I don't look down on poets, but their poems. Shh ”

Li Ye nodded, he didn't plan to enter the door, he turned his head and was about to leave.

The gossip turmoil in his junior year has nothing to do with his freshman brother.

But Li Huaisheng grabbed Li Ye and said anxiously: "It's been a few days, everyone is fighting over it, and you can't determine the title of a book. ”

The reason why Li Huaisheng and others' new books have not been named is that these guys have committed professional diseases.

It's not ancient literature or history, that guy, what is the return of Xi and other ancient names one after another.

Li Ye thought for a while and said: "I studied economics, and from the perspective of economics, this kind of popular name must be easy to understand.

For example, "The Lonely Army in the Hometown", you will know the meaning as soon as you hear it, and there is a Tang character flag on the cover, and a few tattered armors, which is almost the same. ”

"Lonely in the middle of home? You're too popular, and you don't have a historical charm. ”

"Yes, little brother, I'm uneducated, I'll go first, my girlfriend is still waiting for me to eat!"

“.”

Li Huaisheng looked at Li Ye in a daze, it was a grudge and jealousy!

People want a beautiful and temperamental girl friend in their freshman year, and they are all juniors, and they are fighting with a few poets and peacocks.

Phew, who opened the peacock screen?

Li Huaisheng pushed the door into the house and said coldly: "I asked Li Ye, and he said that the name of the new book is "The Lonely Army in Wangxiang", what are your opinions?" ”

“.”

After a long time, a classmate said: "It's boring to fight, whatever!" Anyway, don't use your "conjuring" name. ”

"What's wrong with the name I chosen, is it a conjuring spirit when I return?"

A quarrel began again, and in the end even the tall girl joined in.

Xiucai's rebellion has not been successful for three years, which is really not unreasonable.
