"Hello, are you Ms. Baiwei, the author of restaurant?"
Like him in the same period, several thought of asking lvjiang's copyright editor for Yan Chu's mobile phone number on the pretext of purchasing copyright, but Qiu wok was lucky to get through Yan Chu's mobile phone first.
Like master Qiu, Qiu wok entered a preconceived misunderstanding and regarded Yan Chu as a female author.
Because according to ordinary people's understanding, male writers should go home, and female writers will come to lvjiang to write novels.
It's not that there are no exceptions, but there are few such exceptions. Qiu wok didn't think that the author of restaurant was one of them.
In Qiu wok's heart, the author of this book should be a woman in her 40s and 50s, perhaps younger. She has a mild temper, because the writing of this novel is like a trickle of water, moistening things silently. Just using those words, we can depict the image of an old but still gentle and graceful woman.
"Hello, I'm Baiwei, the author of restaurant. My last name is Yan."
Yan Chu's voice reached Qiu wok's ears through the microphone, and he knew he had made a big oolong.
"Sorry, Mr. Yan, I really didn't know you were a man." Qiu wok was a little embarrassed. He knew that he should confirm the author's gender with the copyright editor before calling, and he didn't know whether the author would feel that he had offended him and affected the subsequent negotiations.
"It doesn't matter."
Why did Yan Chu hate the wok because of these small things? Now what he attaches most importance to is the copyright of the novel.
"Mr. Yan, I contacted you this time mainly for the prescriptions described in your novel."
Qiu wok's bluntly stated his purpose. Sometimes, a straightforward negotiation is more effective than a detour, especially when many people are staring at the secret prescriptions in Yan Chu's hands.
He briefly introduced his identity, Then he gave Yan Chu a price in good faith: "I don't know how many prescriptions Mr. Yan still has. I want to have an interview. You can rest assured, but the price will satisfy you. It is preliminarily estimated that if each prescription can cook wonderful dishes like those in your previous novels, our enemies can give you a buyout price of 8 million for about 50 prescriptions, or give you Two million, plus a 2% vegetable bonus. "
This price is the price after Qiu wok discussed with his father and grandfather. Of course, these are not their final bottom line.
When calling Yan Chu, he had asked the copyright editor who else was interested in the copyright of the novel. Now he has sent someone to investigate the economic strength of those people and their evaluation of these dishes. For these prescriptions, their enemies are bound to win and will never give in easily.
I have to say that this amount is very tempting, but Yan Chu also knows that this is definitely not the bottom line, and he thinks his dishes are much more precious than the figures given by the other party.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be in the world of rascals. He would be very moist just by relying on a single meat bun.
Diet has always been a lucrative industry.
"Mr. Yan, don't worry, we won't stop your later creation, but we hope that all dishes sold to our enemies will not appear in the novel, or avoid detailed production description when describing."
Qiu wok's request is very reasonable. If Yan Chu decides to sell the dish to him, the dish belongs to their enemy. Yan Chu keeps it secret for his enemy, which is both a legal and moral requirement.
However, the premise of all this is that Yan Chu is willing to sell.
"Mr. Chou, please let me think about it."
These recipes are very precious to people in this world, but for Yan Chu, there are no necessary confidentiality requirements. Anyway, when the next world comes, these recipes will still become his own secrets.
Now he urgently needs a lot of money. Maybe it doesn't matter to sell some of the diet formulas.
However, Yan Chu didn't promise so soon. He didn't even find out the details of Qiu wok. How could he know that the other party was unreliable.
"OK, this is really a big event. Mr. Yan should consider it clearly."
It's good for Qiu wok that Yan Chu didn't refuse directly, but now there are more and more competitors, and Qiu wok is also worried about being intercepted.
"I just have an unkind request. If someone wants to buy the dishes in your hand after negotiation with Mr. Yan, please be sure to contact me. I believe I will give you a more sincere price than others."
Now the family's attitude is that the secret recipe must be taken. It's no problem how much money you give. Anyway, with those prescriptions, aren't you afraid of the money rolling in?
Qiu wok has calculated. Now those who can eat these prescriptions are probably their enemies in China, in addition to some foreign catering consortia. However, those foreign catering groups have never been involved in their Chinese dishes. I think they don't care about these recipes.
Yan Chu could not deny Qiu wok's words.
In the next few days, Yan Chu received several phone calls. Like Qiu wok, those people were interested in his secret recipe, but the prices they gave were lower than the estimated prices given by Qiu wok.
After investigating the details of his enemy with his hacker technology, Yan Chu also decided to make this business with his enemy.

"Happy cooperation."
Qiu wok looked at the young man in front of him. Although he had a hunch when he communicated by telephone, he was afraid that the author of the novel was not as old as he thought, but when he really saw the real person, he knew that he was only young. The other party was not a few years older than him at all.
As a child, Yan Chu was only a 25-year-old young man even after four years of graduation, and Qiu wok always studied step by step. He was just 23 in his junior year this year, and Yan Chu was only two years older than him.
Qiu wok couldn't help looking at the man who just talked with him and still didn't lose the wind in the face of a lawyer. He finally saw the shadow of genius from each other.
It's just why the other party was so muddled in College for four years. In the end, he didn't even get a graduation certificate. After leaving school, he simply gave up and went home to eat the old. Until now, he just wrote the restaurant and earned a sum.
How do you think, the man in the survey can't close with the one in front of him. It's like eight years have been cut out of his excellent life. Now he's just on the right track.
Qiu wok also didn't understand where the other party got so many secret recipes for delicious food. It should be said that they were handed down by the Yan family, but the life of the Yan family has been bitter. No matter which one they sell, these secret recipes are enough for them to live well.
Strange, strange——
Qiu wok felt that there were many mysteries on the man in front of him that he had not solved.
"I don't know if I have the honor to visit Mr. Yan's house." Qiu wok's remark is a little presumptuous. He and Yan Chu are just the relationship between the buyer and the seller who have just signed the contract, and there is far from any friendship. At this time, he suddenly proposed to pay a door-to-door visit, which is easy to attract Yan Chu's disgust if it is not good.
"In the future, we also have a cooperative relationship. In order to have a happy cooperation, I think we need to get familiar with each other's personality preferences." Qiu wok soon realized what was wrong with him and made a reasonable excuse for his just boldness.
Just now, they signed a contract. Yan Chu sold the enemy 50 dishes they needed. The enemy took out 3.5 million and paid a dividend of 5% of the selling price of these dishes.
Don't underestimate this 5%. If those dishes can open the market, this 5% alone may bring Yan Chu a profit of $34 million or more every year, which is much more cost-effective than the bottom line of $15 million given by his enemy.
One is a long stream of water. With this dividend, he doesn't need to do anything in his life. Just lie down and collect the money.
Yan Chu was really satisfied with the price given by his enemy. With the money, he could do more.
"OK."
Looking at Qiu wok, to his surprise, Yan Chu actually agreed to his request to come to the door.

"This car is Ferrari. Look at the horse at the head."
When Qiu wok drove back to the village with Yan Chu, some men who paid attention to the car brand recognized the car brand.
Now the network is so developed that the villagers may not know what Ferrari is, but they definitely know that it is a very expensive car brand.
Now every family has a better life, and there are many luxury cars in the village, but there are many luxury cars in the village, which everyone can call out, such as Mercedes Benz and BMW. They only buy the middle-end line of these brands at a price of about 4.5 million. Compared with the Ferrari in front of them, I'm afraid they can't even buy four wheels.
"Looking at the direction, it seems to go to the old Yan family. I was right just now. What the co pilot did was the black sheep of the Yan family."
A village name rubbed his eyes and said incredulously.
A few days ago, Gu Aihong and Yan Yuanjiang just showed off that their son made money. So soon, their son returned to the village in a luxury car?
It's impossible. Some people who can only find a sense of achievement from the Yan family are unwilling to accept this fact and make them believe that Yan Chu can develop one day. They prefer to believe that the sun comes out from the West.
But under everyone's gaze, the car did stop in the open space outside Yan's house, and Yan Chu did get off the co pilot's seat.
When he got off the bus, Yan Chu also saw many villagers gathered around and secretly pointed at him. He knew that his goal of bringing Qiu wok back this time had been achieved.
For the villagers, no matter how much you say, you can't be as sure as letting them see it with their own eyes.
At this time, I saw that he had a rich friend. Anyway, from today on, the villagers will think about changing their attitude towards their family. When there are other changes in the family, it will not lead to too many suspicions and rumors.
Qiu wok did not know that he had been used invisibly. Looking at the small bungalows that were incompatible with the surrounding luxury country villas, he was surprised. Is this really the place where Yan Chu grew up?
"Xiao Qiu, please taste it. This is Chu's best sweet and sour meat. It's sour and sweet and appetizing."
It's said that Qiu wok is a friend of his son. Gu Aihong and Yan Yuanjiang don't mention how hot they are. They cry out one by one. Their words always reveal the hope that Qiu wok, a friend, can often take his son out for a walk and make more friends.
Now his son can earn money. Although he doesn't earn much, it has proved that his son has the ability to support himself.
After solving the biggest worry, the old couple began to worry about their son's house. In this way, they have been staying at home. When can they find a daughter-in-law for them.
Therefore, as the only friend invited home by Yan Chu after eight years, Qiu wok condensed all the hope of the old couple.
At this time, Qiu wok's mind was all on the food on this table, and he couldn't spare his mouth.
For example, the pineapple sweet and sour meat he ate at this time.
This dish also appeared in the novels written by Yan Chu before. Qiu wok tried to make this dish. The proportion of noodles and clothes and the way of mixing sour and sweet juice are very unique. Qiu wok thought he had made it perfect after hard training, but after eating the sweet and sour meat made by Yan Chu, he found that even with the formula, He still can't make the best of a delicious food.
In fact, the gap is already very weak, but it is a thousand miles away. People like Qiu wok who have tasted delicious food all over the world since childhood can easily see the gap between cooks from this weak gap.
The man in front of him is only two years older than him.
He couldn't help eating another mouthful of Gulian meat. The outer layer was wrapped with viscous sweet and sour juice. The acidity and sweetness were just neutralized. When the tip of his tongue tasted the sauce, it automatically secreted body fluid. The dough of Gulian meat was very crisp, which required the cook of this dish to have a high grasp of the heat to ensure that the dough could still maintain this crisp taste even if it was drenched with sauce.
Each piece of sweet and sour meat can be bitten by one bite. The meat aroma, soy sauce aroma and pineapple fruit aroma are a wonderful combination. Each flavor is just right in this dish. Qiu wok even suspects that even if his grandfather does it himself, he may not be able to make such a dish.
"Uncle, aunt, ah Chu's craft is so good. I didn't know it before."
Following Yan Chu's idea, Qiu wok pretended to be his friend and exchanged greetings with the two old people in such an intimate tone.
"Yes, the child is filial. He knows that we are tired of farming and have to take over the cooking. Don't you know that the child will paste the dishes at the beginning of cooking, but he is filial. He is worried that we don't eat well. He thinks about how to make the dishes delicious every day, so he has the current level."
Eating delicious food, the old couple really don't have any special feeling, because in their opinion, their son's cooking level is gradual and good every day. Until now, they can make delicious food.
They also wondered why Gu Aihong's cooking for a lifetime was at that level, while his son's cooking for only a few months could be better than the chef of the hotel in the town, but they were soon relieved.
Because my son is smart. Don't smart people learn everything quickly? Think about it, the old couple couldn't help being proud again.
It's a pity that we can't show off this. We can't invite people to dinner at home. There are so many people in the village, and they are worried about tiring their son.
Anyway, in the eyes of the two old people, there is nothing bad about his son. Even if there is, it is only temporary. He will change it.
After listening to Gu Aihong's words, Qiu wok subconsciously moved the day when Yan Chu learned to cook in her words to the time when he came home after graduation, that is, the other party stayed at home for the past four years to study these dishes?
There is really a culinary genius in this world!
Qiu wok couldn't help vomiting blood. He thought that he began to recite recipes at the age of three and practice spoon at the age of five. Up to now, he can't compare with other people's achievements. He is really a waste.
But from another point of view, his cousin, a gifted cook, was also crushed into a residue. Thinking so, he couldn't help but be happy.
In the future, we must have a good relationship with this great genius. With each other's wonderful talent in cooking, the enemy can have an endless stream of improved recipes. At that time, he worries that the enemy's dishes will not become bigger and bigger. Moreover, as a great contributor to this cooperation, even if his cousin is excellent, he can't shake his successor's position.
Thinking so, Qiu wok couldn't help but look at Yan Chu for several times. It was like looking at a big baby.
******
"I have a uncle. Maybe you have heard his name. His name is Li'an. He is the director of Shengong biography and the secret history of the Tang Dynasty."
Shen Gong Chuan and the secret history of the Tang Dynasty created two phenomenal TV dramas with high ratings. Because of these two TV dramas, Li an also became famous. However, in recent years, he moved to the film circle and led two films one after another. Unfortunately, the box office was not satisfactory. It is said that recently, he has the intention to return to the TV circle.
"My uncle recently wanted to shoot a TV play related to our Chinese food culture, but he hasn't found a suitable script and theme. I recommended your novel to him. I think he might be very interested."
Qiu wok is really strange. The man in front of him obviously has such a high talent in cooking, but he keeps on writing novels. I don't know if this is a genius quirk.
However, this is a good thing for him. He is also worried that the other party has lost interest in novels. He suddenly wants to understand that he has begun to move to the cooking industry. Otherwise, depending on the other party's skills, I'm afraid there will be another peer who will fight with his enemy's dishes at that time.
So what Qiu wok has to do now is to encourage Yan Chu's enthusiasm for creation and let him indulge in creation and love creation.
After hearing what Qiu wok said, Yan Chu was really interested.
Before, Qiu wok only asked for his contact information on the pretext of buying copyright and the editor. In fact, he only asked for dishes. He was really not interested in the copyright of the novel, so they didn't sign the contract through lvjiang. After all, Yan Chu sold prescriptions that didn't appear in the novel, but this means that the film and television copyright of the novel that Yan Chu first thought about is yellow.
Now Qiu wok means to introduce him to the copyright buyer. Can he be unhappy.
In particular, Li An is also a well-known big director in the TV drama circle. If the other party can really see his novel, it will be a happy event for him.
Yan Chu ponders the theme of his novel. The main plot is centered around the protagonist's small restaurant, interspersed with unit stories from time to time, touching, angry and disappointing. In general, if it is really film and television, it is a script with room for directors and actors to play, and there is still great potential to tap.
And if director Li really wants to make a TV play about Chinese food, Yan Chu firmly believes that no food article can be more delicious than him.
With this in mind, he decided to write another prescription in the evening and try to hook up the greedy insect of the big director who might be reading the book.

"More, more, more?"
Gu Aihong and Yan Yuanjiang stared at the red passbook in their hands, pointed to the series of zeros above and stammered.
"Three and a half million, didn't I say? In fact, I haven't been idle for the past four years, just to be able to write the book in hand. Now the book has achieved good results. It is read by a film and television company and plans to buy the film and television copyright of my book. Maybe in a few years, my parents can see the TV series adapted from my novel on TV."
Yan Chu changed the 3.5 million yuan into the copyright income of film and television dramas, which may be more acceptable for the two old people.
But this is 3.5 million, that is, 350000. I'm afraid the old couple are unable to accept it at this time.
What's this called?
This is called that the surprise is too big, just like a tornado. The couple's mind has long been blown away by the tornado.
The husband and wife have never seen such a large sum of money in their diligent life.
Three and a half million yuan is enough to demolish and rebuild the family's buildings, enough for the family to buy a house in the county and city, enough for the son to marry a daughter-in-law, enough to do all they want to do.
"His father!" Gu Aihong looked at the old man.
"Son of a bitch!" The same is true of Yan Yuanjiang.
The husband and wife had a tacit understanding and twisted their faces heavily.
"Hiss -" it hurts.
Like the living expenses of more than 1000 yuan given by my son last time, it is true, not a dream.
But since they are not dreaming, how can they feel so dizzy? They seem to be taking care in front of them.
Then the next second, Yan Chu looked at the two old people, turned his eyes, softened his legs, and squatted directly on the ground.
