Chapter 155

"President fan! Do you still want to sign this man and this book?" Xia Xiaoyu said in surprise.

Fan Huacheng smiled and sat back in his seat, patted the armrest of the chair and decided, "yes! I read this book myself. Although it is really like editor Zhang said, it lacks female roles and is too aggressive, it is really wonderful! It is rare to meet a good book that a large publishing house dare not publish. If we don't sign it, we will regret it!"

"Are you not afraid of copyright disputes with those film companies?"

"What's to be afraid of? You don't know the situation of our publishing house. Do you think it can last for a few years if we can survive like this? Just sign this book! If this book doesn't catch fire, those big film companies won't play any copyright lawsuit with a novel that few people read. If it catches fire, our reputation will be much better all of a sudden! As many writers know, we can not only make money on this book, but also receive other high-quality manuscript sources! Maybe we can turn losses into profits and get rid of the current semi dead state! As for those film companies? Let's say hello to the literary clown and ask him to write as many horror films of European and American film companies as possible, those far away in Europe and America The film company may not have noticed this book. Moreover, even if they have noticed that we are far away, they may not really sue us for such a small matter. Even if they really sue us, it is worth it! As long as we don't lose our property and our reputation goes out, we can still receive a batch of high-quality manuscript sources and come back to life! It will be better than it is now! "

Barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes!

This is what Fan Huacheng thought at that time.

Xia Xiaoyu's eyes brightened after hearing fan Huacheng's words.

In her heart, she also knew that small publishing houses like them could hardly grow up in the cracks of big publishing houses if they did not take strange measures and developed in a regular way.

And the present opportunity is a great opportunity to do strange tricks! A chance to make a name for the publishing house.

"Then I'll ask He Ying to sign a contract with the literary clown now?" Xia Xiaoyu was convinced and immediately wanted to do it.

"No hurry!"

Fan Huacheng took out a cigarette and lit it. He took a comfortable sip. Zhizhu said in his hand: "Now the literary clown can't find the publishing house to publish the book, so even small publishing houses like us contribute. Now it's time for us to take care of him. Wait! According to our regular review time, we'll inform him to sign the contract in a week. The review time of those large publishing houses is at least half a month. We're the earliest in a week. If we start today If we inform him to sign, it will be difficult for us to sign his book at a low price! "

Xia Xiaoyu suddenly realized.

A week later, the signing notice was sent to Lu Yang's mailbox. Unfortunately, their offer was only 4500 new book prices per episode. In addition, several major publishers did not reply, and Lu Yang did not reply to them at all.

This has only happened for several consecutive days. Fan Huacheng, who is more and more worried, goes to ask He Ying for news every morning and evening.

Seeing that another four days have passed, and the previous week deliberately delayed, it has been nearly half a month. It has almost reached the deadline for the review of the manuscripts by those big publishing houses, fan Huacheng can't calm down at last.

"Can't wait any longer! Four days after the signing notice was sent, the literary clown still hasn't replied, which means that he doesn't see the new price of 4500 for an episode, or is waiting for the review results of several other publishers, Xiaoyu! Ask He Ying to send another email and tell him that we can talk about the conditions! If 4500 doesn't work, we can raise the price for him, 6000 or 7000 can be considered! Up to 7000! If he is not satisfied, ask him if he can sign the royalty share? We can give him a maximum royalty share of 12%. How much money he can make depends on whether his book can be popular! If he has no confidence in this book, he must buy it out. If 7000 is not enough, forget it! "

"OK! President fan!"

After Xia Xiaoyu took orders, he hurried out of the office to explain He Ying.

This matter is related to their next fate. The premise of whether this trick can be successfully applied is whether they can bookmark the book.

Otherwise, no matter how well fan Huacheng planned, it would be impossible without such a manuscript.

……

So that night, after Lu Yang finished writing, he logged in to the mailbox again to see if there was any news from other publishers, and saw the new email sent by e publishing house again.

Lu Yang thought it was just an ordinary email urging to sign a contract. He opened it and saw the latest quotation of e publishing house.

6000 per episode, or 10% royalty.

The price of 6000 per episode is the same as that of the three great warlords signed to C publishing house. Lu Yang was surprised to see this offer.

Lu Yang is no stranger to e publishing house. Before his rebirth, the first work of his codeword career was published by that publishing house. A few years later, when e publishing house was in difficulty, it even offered a high price of 1611 episodes in the industry to dig tomatoes in the past town. Unfortunately, tomato ignored it at all, and then E publishing house closed down after another year or two.

Lu Yang's fame now, of course, can't be compared with that of tomatoes a few years later.

Tomato basically belongs to the existence of that kind of bug in the online literary world. Except that there is no fire in the first legend of Xingfeng, the code word has been used for many years. One book is more popular than another. He has occupied the top position of the starting monthly ticket list for a long time. He is also a frequent guest at the top of the list in a certain year, which is completely the guarantee of popularity.

Therefore, at the peak of his popularity, e publishing house, which has always been reluctant to open a high price, dared to bite its teeth and quote the sky high price of 1611 episodes.

Sixteen one episode, only sixty-five thousand words!

Before 2010, few publishing societies in Taiwan offered such prices to online writers.

However, the strength of e publishing house is still too small after all. Signing a contract with them, even if you can get a high price for a while, there is no future.

Therefore, that night, when Lu Yang saw their offer for 6000 episodes, although he was surprised, he was still not interested. He would rather sign 5000 episodes to a larger publishing house than cooperate with e publishing house, which will close down in a few years.

However, after the quotation of 6000 episode, Lu Yang was quite moved by the sentence or the condition that the royalties were divided into 10%.

Royalty sharing is not a popular famous author. The publishing house doesn't sign this with you at all. Even if you reluctantly sign it with you, you may not get more money than thousands of yuan per episode.

But Lu Yang had confidence in infinite killing, so after thinking about it for a while, he sent an email.

"If the royalty is divided into 15%, we can sign a contract!"

……

The next day, when fan Huacheng was sitting in his office and heard the figure reported by He Ying, his eyebrows frowned. Wen Chou could make a quotation, which showed that some of the two sides had talked. Unlike before, people didn't even bother to reply to their quotation, which made people have full words and couldn't use it.

It's impossible to start.

Only 15% of the royalties, obviously exceeding his psychological bottom line.

Xia Xiaoyu and He Ying are waiting for his decision.

"Mr. Fan! Do you agree? I heard that publishing house B seems to be planning to open a publishing tax share. I heard that they are not sure whether the book will be popular or not, so they dare not buy it out at a high price and only dare to try with the royalty share..." Xia Xiaoyu said with some worry nearby.

B publishing house used to be a little more famous than C publishing house, but C publishing house has gradually surpassed B publishing house in the last one or two years, but even so, B publishing house is much stronger than their e publishing house.

"Are you sure? They really intend to sign the book in the form of royalties?"

Fan Huacheng, who had a headache, was surprised at the speech.

Under his sharp eyes, Xia Xiaoyu nodded wordlessly.

Fan Huacheng lowered his head again and unconsciously pinched his temples with his fingers, still hesitating in his heart.

"Do you know how much royalty they are going to give?"

After a while, fan Huacheng asked in a low voice.

"I didn't hear about this..."

In fact, fan Huacheng also knows that even if the share of publishing house B is lower than theirs, the literary clown will probably choose Publishing House B, because it is a big publishing house. After this bookmark is finished, there will be better cooperation opportunities in the future.

Headache!

Half a month is approaching, and the audit results of B publishing house may be sent to the literary clown at any time. At that time, with more competitors of B publishing house, his Fan Hua achievements will have no chance.

Fan Huacheng suddenly regretted why he had delayed the notice of signing the contract for Wen Chou for a week. If they had more time to negotiate the price for a week, they would have more room to operate.

With a dark sigh, there is no regret in the world! He really didn't want to give up the opportunity of this dangerous move. If he missed such an opportunity, he didn't know whether there was a second similar opportunity.

"He Ying! Send him another email! 14% share. If he still doesn't agree, just... Promise 15%."

He Ying and Xia Xiaoyu were surprised to hear this order. They all knew that fan Huacheng's previous bottom line was 12%, but they didn't expect that he could accept 15%?

Can the bottom line be broken?

"Do it quickly! I finally made up my mind. Don't let B publishing house take the lead in the end!" fan Huacheng urged again.

He Ying responded, quickly promised, and immediately went out to inform the author.

So when he came back from school that afternoon, Lu Yang, who was concerned about the other party's reply, saw the other party's third offer - 14%.

Seeing this number, Lu Yang smiled.

This figure has exceeded Lu Yang's psychological bottom line. In fact, Lu Yang made a counter-offer of 12% after making a previous offer of 15%. Talk about the price! I always want to talk high, so that after the other party makes a counter-offer, I can still meet my psychological expectations.

But the other party didn't bargain to 12%, but 14%, which made Lu Yang see the other party's bottom line, not 14%. So Lu Yang replied again.

"Minimum 15%!"

Then, more than an hour later, the other party's reply came back.

"OK! 15% is 15%, but we must finish signing the contract tomorrow morning, and then you send us the first two episodes, and we will arrange proofreading and typesetting immediately!"
