After a moment of silence, there was a chorus of opposition in the room.

"Director Qin, be cautious."

"At present, there is no evidence that the magazine's hot sales have anything to do with Jiang Yulou."

"It's better to wait."

"I think the current surge in sales of the magazine is the reason why our magazine's reputation has risen, and the novel is just the icing on the cake if it is well written."

Qin Zhaoyang saw that the opposition was getting louder and louder, and he didn't show any displeasure.

He couldn't have made up his mind, otherwise he wouldn't have held a meeting, and the matter of issuing a single book would have been discussed at the meeting.

It's not enough to have opposition, he wants to hear the voice of approval.

So, he looked at Meng Weiya, who had been silent.

"Old Meng, what do you think?"

Meng Weizai raised his head, glanced around, and said in a firm tone: "I support the publication of a single book, and the number of first printing must not be less!" ”

His clear insistence made the bottom explode.

"What, no, absolutely not!"

"If you print a single book, you will definitely lose money!"

"Yes, how to set this price after printing, will readers support it?"

"It's better to wait."

Qin Zhaoyang smiled and said, "Old Meng, is there any reason why you are so supportive?" ”

Meng Weizai nodded and said, "Yes, Xinhua Bookstore cooperated with me in the investigation. According to the survey, readers have a very high evaluation of the book "Secret Calculation", and many new readers buy our magazine because their friends recommend this novel. ”

After speaking, he took out a piece of the document he was holding next to him and handed it to Qin Zhaoyang, "These are my investigation data. ”

It is said that without investigation, there is no right to speak, and Meng Weiya's preparation this time can be said to be very sufficient.

The reason why he supports the release of a single book so much is that in addition to the fact that this novel is published by him, and the reason why this novel is really good, he also wants to make achievements.

It just so happened that with such a good opportunity, he didn't want to give up.

After Qin Zhaoyang took the document, he couldn't help but nod again and again when he saw the data on it.

Finally, he raised his head and said, "Pass it on, let everyone see it." ”

As more and more people read the investigation report, the exclamations began to increase.

"Impossible, the influence of "Secret Calculation" is really so great?"

"So many people are willing to pay for the book? You can read our magazines when you buy them? ”

"New theme? What is the theme of spy warfare, and why is it very strange from readers? ”

Finally, when the report was passed through, Qin Zhaoyang asked again: "Now that everyone has read the investigation report, is there anyone still opposed to the issuance of a single book?" ”

This time, you look at me, I look at you, even if you don't agree with it in your heart, but in the face of data, no amount of opposition is a useless struggle.

It seems that a decision can be made, Qin Zhaoyang glanced at everyone, nodded and said: "Since everyone supports it, then the matter of the release of a single book of "Secret Calculation" has been decided. However, everyone's concerns are also justified, and the first printing will be set at 50,000 copies. This amount, even if it can't be sold, we won't lose too much. ”

Everyone nodded, although they couldn't prevent the release of a single book of "Secret Calculation", but it was still acceptable for the first printing number to be lowered.

This can be regarded as the art of compromise.

After setting the tone, Qin Zhaoyang looked at Meng Weiya again, "Old Meng, the matter of issuing a single book still needs the nod of Comrade Jiang Yulou, and this task will be handed over to you." ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Meng Weizai said in high spirits.

This time he won.

Meng Weizai was a resolute and resolute meeting, he specially found Qin Zhaoyang, asked for the policy, sorted out the information, and went to Yan University the next day.

This time, the two met in Mr. Yuan's office.

"Yulou, meet again."

"Haha, Editor Meng, I miss you to death."

After seeing Meng Weiya, Jiang Yulou was very happy, and Yahuazi laughed.

He had reason to be happy, because this Meng editor made him a lot of money, especially with two reprints, and his wallet was a lot thicker.

After the two shook hands, Jiang Yulou asked with a smile: "Is there any good news for Editor Meng to come to me this time?" ”

"Yes, and it couldn't be better news for you." Meng Weizai said with a smile.

Jiang Yulou scratched his head and said with a smile: "You say this, my heart is even more itchy." ”

Meng Weiya and Teacher Yuan couldn't help but laugh when they looked at him.

Meng Weizai did not delay, and directly explained his intentions, "Contemporary Magazine has decided to release a single edition of the novel "Secret Calculation", and Director Qin means to let me come over and ask for your opinion. ”

"Whew!"

Jiang Yulou stood up, and looked at Meng Weiya with some surprise, "Editor Meng, you're not joking, are you?" ”

In recent years, no single book by the author has been published in a magazine.

If what Meng Weiya said was true, he would have set a precedent.

Meng Weizai blew his beard and glared: "I'm a person who can be your grandfather, and I will lie to you, a junior?" ”

Jiang Yulou sneered and said, "Don't be angry, I'm not too surprised." ”

"Comrade Yulou, you have to believe that our contemporary magazine is very cautious on such a major issue." Meng Weiya shook his head helplessly, and then continued: "Speaking of which, it's because readers have a high degree of recognition of our magazine. Of course, your novel is indeed wonderful, and many readers have written to us hoping to release your "Secret Calculation" separately, so our editorial department held a special meeting, and finally consulted the leadership, and finally decided to release your novel separately. ”

Speaking of which, Jiang Yulou seems to be from Shaanxi, there is Liu Jing in the front, Chen Zhongshi in the back, and now this Jiang Yulou is even younger and excessive, it is really a generation of new people replacing the old.

Meng Weiya looked at the writer in front of him who was young enough to be his grandson, and his heart was full of emotion,

Jiang Yulou's eyes lit up, and he was relieved.

So, he looked at Meng Weiya with a blank eye, looking forward to it, "Editor Meng, is the manuscript fee for a single book the same as for publishing in a magazine?" ”

Meng Weizai nodded and said, "Don't worry, the remuneration will be given to you according to the number of words and ten yuan printed." ”

Jiang Yulou is now different from ordinary writers, and the magazine will not lose money if he is given this top remuneration. And after all, if the single line sells well, it may be more profitable than the magazine.

Jiang Yulou is not a loss. After all, this is a novel that makes money twice, and this time for a single book, you can earn 2,400 yuan just for the basic manuscript salary, not to mention the remuneration for printing a few copies.

Without careful calculation, he already knew that this novel alone earned him at least tens of thousands of dollars.

In these years, apart from being an author, what other industry can make so much money without risk for a young man who is less than nineteen years old?

Sure enough, it was really the right choice to follow the path of being a writer in the first place.

Jiang Yulou said with a smile: "Then let's decide, I will hand over the single book of "Secret Calculation" to contemporary publishing." ”

After getting the affirmation of the original work, Meng Weiya was also relieved.

To be honest, there are actually not many publishing houses that can be as bold as contemporary magazines these days.

Before parting, Meng Weizai said in a complicated tone: "Yulou, don't forget us if there are good works in the future." ”
