0098, suffering is a blessing
Not to mention Dong Jie and Guo Chuan, Zheng Rong was also surprised by the age of the cross-border king, although he was not very old by phone before, judging from his voice, he didn't expect it to be a boy who was only eighteen or nineteen years old.
You must know that the five novels "Zhu Xian", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "Cat's Eye", "Dart Man", and "The Legend of Wukong" are all top works in their categories.
Over the years, Zheng Rong has come into contact with many authors who write traditional novels and online novels.
In his opinion, at such a young age, writing five classic works in less than half a year is too unlikely even for a novelist with many years of writing experience, which is really unimaginable.
However, in the world of geniuses, how can mortals understand.
As for Yun Feng, he has long been accustomed to other people's surprise at his age, so he is not surprised.
After chatting politely with Zheng Rong, he got straight to the point: "I took the liberty to come to Editor-in-Chief Zheng to ask if your magazine has the ability to publish books. ”
Zheng Rong replied without hesitation: "Yes, such as application book numbers, printing houses, promotion agents, sales channels and other resources, our magazine has them. ”
He couldn't help but get excited, no, could it be......
Yun Feng nodded, and asked again, "I want to cooperate with your magazine." ”
Zheng Rong tried his best to control himself, not to show his inner emotions, and said calmly: "Is it about the publication of a book about your novel?"
Yun Feng replied, "Yes." ”
Zheng Rong continued: "You want to authorize our magazine to publish your novels?"
Yun Feng smiled and threw out four words: "Exclusive publishing." ”
Zheng Rong's eyes lit up, judging from the current sales of their novel monthly report, the book publishing of the novel of the cross-border king is very promising, not to mention the exclusive publication, but it is just ...... His eyes dimmed again.
Now the money in their magazine's account, let alone buying the copyright of the book for exclusive publication, is not enough even to take the license and pay royalties for publishing, and moreover, they still owe the printing house a few large orders of fees.
Zheng Rong became distressed, if this thing was done, their magazine would be able to turn over.
Seeing that he didn't react, Yun Feng was slightly stunned, and said, "Editor-in-Chief Zheng doesn't seem to be interested in this matter. ”
"No, no, no. Zheng Rong hurriedly explained: "Actually, our magazine has always wanted to publish your novel, but it's just ......"
Speaking of this, he sighed lightly and said, "I won't tell you, recently, there have been some problems in the capital chain of the magazine, so I am powerless." ”
No wonder their magazine society chose this place as the office location, it turned out that there was a problem with the capital chain.
Yun Feng smiled and said, "I'm planning to publish it at my own expense. ”
"At your own expense?" Zheng Rong's eyes flashed with surprise, and he asked, "Then what do you mean by cooperation?"
Yun Feng said bluntly: "Your magazine only needs to contribute resources, and take a point of sales commission." ”
Zheng Rong fell into deep thought.
Dong Jie and Guo Chuan, who were at their desks, could hear the conversation between the two, after all, this place is so big, and there is no independent office.
Dong Jie sent a WeChat message to Guo Chuan at this time: "Brother Guo, according to the meaning of the cross-border king, isn't our magazine a salesman?"
Guo Chuan replied after reading it: "No, it's more like an agent publishing books, but, I personally think this can be done, you have also seen that since our magazine began to serialize the cross-border king's "Cat's Eye" and "Dart Man", the sales in the past month have exceeded the total sales of our magazine. ”
Dong Jie thought about it, it seemed like this, and asked again: "But is the sales commission a little lower?"
Guo Chuan smiled and replied, "That's not what we should think about. ”
After Zheng Rong thought about it, he said to Yun Feng: "Although the scale of our magazine is not large, all kinds of domestic and foreign resources are very complete, and the sales commission of one point is a little less. ”
Yun Feng didn't think so, said: "This is for your magazine, there is no risk, and I am the opposite, both bear all the costs, but also bear all the risks, if the sales are not good, the loss is me, moreover, a point of sales commission, the profit margin is at least greater than 10%, you are doing this business, you should know better than me how much profit is." ”
It's such a reason, but it is impossible for such a thing as poor sales to happen.
But Zheng Rong understands that the cross-border king does not want to make concessions in interests.
He is a businessman, and the first thing to consider is also interests.
But he is also a person who knows how to be grateful, and it is the "Cat's Eye" and "Dartman" that pulled their half-dead magazine ashore from the cross-border king.
As the old saying goes: a loss is a blessing.
Yun Feng, on the other hand, was waiting patiently.
For a while, in the small warehouse, it was unusually quiet, and even Dong Jie and Guo Chuan stopped what they were doing, no longer typing on the keyboard and clicking the mouse, for fear of disturbing them by making a little noise.
After pondering for a while, Zheng Rong stretched his brows, smiled slightly, and said to Yun Feng: "Happy cooperation." ”
Yun Feng said with a sincere face: "Happy cooperation." ”
He likes to talk to this kind of cheerful person, okay, no, no, the kind of person who hesitates and grinds is the most boring.
Zheng Rong continued: "Wait until tomorrow I have prepared the quotation and plan, and then send it to you." ”
"Then there's work. Yun Feng stood up and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, and within a week, I will send the electronic contract to your mailbox." ”
"Okay. Zheng Rong got up to send him off.
Overall, the two things that were done today went quite smoothly, and Yun Feng's mood was much better.
When I returned to the dormitory, I saw Xia Dachuan and Li Junyi.
"You two won't go back to school until the last day of winter break is over. Yun Feng quipped.
Li Junyi smiled: "Isn't it to bring you special products, look at ......"
As he spoke, he took out a small bundle of plastic wrap wrapped in something he didn't know, and said: "We have wild ginseng in Changbai Mountain in the northeast, see that you are not good, soak you in water to drink, and make up for it." ”
"I'm not worth it. Yun Feng pulled his clothes up, revealing the results of the past six months.
"Damn, you actually have abs!"
"One, two, three...... Six pieces. ”
"It's not painted, is it?"
......
Although it is not very obvious yet, the outline is already practiced.
Seeing that they reached over and wanted to touch it, Yun Feng put down his clothes and said, "Touch yourself." ”
Xia Dachuan's abdomen puffed up slightly, stretched out his hand and patted it twice, and said, "Isn't it just abdominal muscles, I also have it, is this big enough." ”
"Hahaha......"
Seeing his funny appearance, Yun Feng and the others all laughed.
Several roommates more or less brought back souvenirs from their hometowns, but Yun Feng didn't, so he planned to invite them out to eat.
As soon as this proposal came out, Xiao Tianpeng lifted his glasses and said a little embarrassedly: "Can I call Weiwei?"
"No problem. Yun Feng said to Xia Dachuan and Li Junyi again: "Have your two girlfriends gone back to school, if you do, just call them together, there are many people." ”
Li Junyi replied: "I went back to the magic capital with Xiaoxiao, I called her to ask." ”
"Feiyan should be fine, she arrived at school yesterday. Xia Dachuan paused and said, "We are all in pairs, don't you call your Tang Yu?"
Yun Feng smiled: "Of course you have to call it." ”
If a few roommates teased him and Tang Yu before, he would definitely explain, but now he basically won't say anything.
————
March bathing in the wind, caressing his cheeks, revealing a different kind of gentleness, a little shy, a little reserved, a little mysterious.
The book copyright offer of five novels given by Panda Chinese Network is not very satisfactory, but within the scope of acceptance, the money in Yunfeng's bank account is just enough.
And the quotation and plan given by the Novel Monthly Magazine are very satisfied, Yun Feng saw Zheng Rong's character from it, at least he is not a person who will take kickbacks.
As for Guan Hu and other writers who boycotted his "The Legend of Wukong", there has been no more action, and "The Legend of Wukong" has ended.
In the next half month, Yun Feng returned to campus life, practicing voice, piano, composition, lyrics, and morning exercises are all essential items, and occasionally blowing the.
On this day, Zheng Rong called, the first volume of "Zhu Xian" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and the whole volume of "Cat's Eye", "Dart Man" and "The Legend of Wukong" will be sold nationwide today.
And the momentum is huge, the press conference of offline bookstores across the country, the publicity positions of online stores, the advertising spaces of bus stations and subway stations in major cities, anyway, there is any publicity, and I originally planned to hold a signing meeting in the magic capital, but Yun Feng refused.
Of course, all this money came from Yunfeng's side, that is, Wang Defa and Ma Siyu's part of the equity funds.
At half past eight in the morning, as soon as the doors opened, a customer walked into the Xinhua bookstore.
