Good people are used to plot
When he signed the "Song Dynasty" with Rogo for the first time, it included all the content, and it was expected that there were seven volumes of books in total. However, in the later contracts of "Shennong Code" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light", because it involved the loans between him and Rogo and the shares of Yunzhong Bookstore, it was replaced by one volume and one sign.
Now no matter how much money these books are sold, they still need to be used to pay back the debt. When will the bookstore be paid off and when will the original contract form be changed?
However, according to this popularity, Yang Yi felt that his contract worker career would probably not last for a few years.
But the problem is that the copyright issues of "Shennong Code" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light" are not counted at all if I say it.
"Sorry, I don't seem to understand what you mean." Yang Yi smiled, as if he was confirming: "Editor Mai's meaning is that he is very optimistic about "Shennong Code" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light"? Want to publish it?"
Although the sales volume of nearly 60,000 copies of each of the two books is far inferior to the "Song Dynasty", this is also because books on similar themes are far from well developed. Once the future starts to make efforts, the accumulated sales will be quite considerable.
There are also a very small number of disharmonious voices who question the writing ability of "reading history with joy" in newspapers. The evidence used is the sales volume of these two books.
However, as long as people with a little heart can see some clues from the sales trend - in the past three days, the sales of the two books have gradually risen rather than fallen. As Mai Xian, who has been in the publishing industry for more than 20 years, he can naturally see the potential of a book at a glance.
"Yes! Not right!" Mai Xian smiled and shook his head: "We are not optimistic about "Shennong Code" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light", we are optimistic about you!"
Yang Yi smiled and refused to say anything. If this was changed to other "young writers", even if he was arrogant and uneasy, he would inevitably feel like a soulmate about Editor-in-Chief Mai. However, Yang's trick would not work.
"What do you mean?"
"Except for the Song Dynasty, our literary and artistic publishing house is responsible for packaging and distribution, and is published unconditionally." Mai Xian insisted on the railway.
Huh? He was a bit arrogant. Yang Yi tsk his mouth and then deliberately tentatively said: "If I write a random book that is not enough to publish, can I publish it for me?"
"Just relying on the reputation of "reading history with joy", we will certainly dare to publish if you dare to write!" Mai Xian smiled: "But will Xiao Yang joke about his reputation?"
This old guy.
Yang Yi curled his lips in his heart and gave him a big hat first. It would be better to rely on his pseudonym value. Maybe even if they really write a book at that time, they will publish it, but this number of prints...
"Sorry, I don't count on this." Yang Yisan understood the thoughts of Yuezhou Publishing Group, so he no longer had the intention of continuing to go around in circles.
Mai Xian's smile remained unchanged: "Xiao Yang, don't tell lies in front of the real person, the copyright fee of 16% is already a sky-high price."
Yang Yi's smile remained unchanged, but he shook his head and was about to push open the car door.
Mai Xian's face finally changed. This is 16% of the copyright fee. Although there is no guaranteed amount, the current influence of the pseudonym "Yue and Read History" will be a profit of hundreds of thousands.
When the copyright fees for this writer are generally no more than 14%, their literary and art publishing houses can offer a high reward of 16 points, but they can't even make the child in front of them feel moved?
Editor-in-chief Mai is really anxious now. The reason why Xiao Mingnan, the CEO of Yuezhou Publishing Group, asked him to intercept Yang here was that he hoped to communicate with him in private, and directly bypass Rogo and Siyue to seize the little God of Wealth in the current book market. Now.
Speaking of this, Mr. Xiao was very attentive. He came to Siyue yesterday, but Yang Yi was eager to find evidence of Jia Liping's crime and missed the opportunity to meet. In the afternoon, someone ran directly to the door of Yang's family to wait, but the mother and son went to the hospital, while the other was diligently tidyingly tidyingly tidyingly tidyingly tidyingly tidyingly tidyingly tidyingly... When he came to the door again this morning, Yang Yi took Su Wan to "go to the countryside" again.
If it weren't for arranging someone to wait outside Siyue in advance, it would be possible to negotiate with Yang Yi in front of Rogo.
Mai Xian didn't care about his reserve at this time, so he quickly asked to stay and said, "Student Xiao Yang, I think you need to consider our proposal carefully, which is beneficial to you and us."
Yang Yi had already stepped out of the car door with his feet. Seeing Mai Xian's anxious look, he suddenly pretended to be helpless and said in a very bad mood: "There is no way, Mr. Luo doesn't say anything, how dare I sign a contract with others casually."
When Mai Xian heard this, he almost squirted blood on Yang Yi's back. Will this boy take Rogo seriously as the demeanor he showed just now? He even had the face of pretending to be pitiful.
Thinking that this Editor-in-Chief Mai is just doing errands for people, and as his Editor-in-Chief, it is quite difficult for an author to achieve this level, Yang Yi smiled seriously: "To be honest, Editor-in-Chief Mai, although "Shennong Code" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light" are signed once in a volume, in fact, all the copyrights of these two books are theoretically Siyue, and it is really not something I can sign if I want to sign."
Ah? Why is this happening! Mai Xian was stunned for a moment. Seeing Yang nodding, he greeted him politely and then walked away, he suddenly chased him out unwillingly: "Well, Xiao Yang, we don't want the copyright of these books now. How about signing your next book? Come to our Literature and Art Publishing House!"
...
After walking into Siyue's yard, Yang Yi was still feeling a little moved. Although Editor-in-Chief Mai was instructed by the above, he was full of sincerity and his appreciation of those books was not concealed at all. He had no intention of suppressing the price by picking and stinging in general negotiations.
Although the biggest reason is that they have something to ask for, Mai Xian’s solemn attitude undoubtedly makes people feel extremely comfortable.
In the end, I didn't give up my efforts and wanted to recruit myself with an olive branch.
However, Yang Yi really cannot cooperate with them. Even if he does not allow the copyrights of "Shennong Code" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light", it will not work.
Yuezhou Publishing Group and Siyue Culture are different. The former is a well-known and state-owned publishing group. It is not a private company like Siyue, which is affiliated with public institutions! If you choose to cooperate with Yuezhou Publishing, how can you realize the idea of physical Yunzhong Bookstore - Online Yunzhong Bookstore Culture Group? Not to mention anything else, can Yuezhou Publishing allow itself to mortgage copyrights for funds to make a seemingly crazy and idiotic move to build a bookstore?
In comparison, it is better to fool that fat man Rogo.
...
In the car that had not yet driven away, Mai Xian was sitting in the back row, silently closing his eyes and resting, but his assistant knew that this was his subconscious expression when he was bored, so he couldn't help but complain angrily: "A 16% copyright fee, even if he is a gold pen, this is enough to be sincere! Our company has not issued a royal fee of more than 14 points..."
"Forget it, this little guy's book can afford this price! Besides, the price of 16% was also set by Mr. Xiao. Could it be that Mr. Xiao does not have the long-term vision of you?"
When the assistant heard that it was Xiao Mingnan who ordered the general himself, he grinned and said nothing.
"Forget it, go back, Mr. Xiao should talk to him about the rest in person. Mai Xian ordered that although he was not able to succeed today, he had already made the best efforts. I think Xiao Mingnan could not say anything. I just hope that this boss can be mentally prepared and not affect his judgment and decision-making during negotiations because of his failure in recruitment.
Thinking of this, Mai Xian picked up his Ericsson and should quickly notify the helmsman of the group. He can ignore the failure of recruitment, but if he fails to do these details afterwards, he will be asking for trouble.
...
Xiao Mingnan had been waiting in Siyue's conference room for more than half an hour, but he didn't feel impatient at all. Instead, he comforted Rogo who was dialing the phone frequently: "Young man, who doesn't have his own thing to do? Mr. Luo, don't worry, either."
He naturally was not in a hurry. He sent someone to wait halfway for Yang to do his best to create time for his subordinates.
I inevitably remembered the scene at the White Stone Monastery more than a month ago. If I had agreed to Rogo and the child's proposal at that time, I would have been sitting together for a celebration banquet now, so I would not have to come here and spend this effort now.
However, Xiao Mingnan is a person who never regrets it. Even if he is likely to bow his head this time and pay for what he has said before, he is still steadily developing his plans and a real hard-working person.
At this moment, his phone rang, he made an apologetic gesture to Rogo, and then answered.
"Hey? It's me." He said a lot from the other end of the phone. Xiao Mingnan basically didn't interrupt, and the expression on his face remained unchanged at all. It was like an ordinary call. No one could tell from his expression that Xiao Mingnan had just experienced a failure.
"Well, okay, I understand. You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, right! Also, please contact me about what I mentioned yesterday, OK."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Mingnan smiled faintly, and combined with his elegant temperament, he immediately judged the fat man opposite the long round table.
"Mr. Luo, you still have to blame Siyue for saying that. Look, just now, Editor Ma from the Literature and Art Publishing House called. An author they focused on following, but he planned to get the new book that has been completed to publish by Siyue. This is really a pity!"
Rogo sneered in his heart, but his face was not as good as Xiao Mingnan. He laughed repeatedly: "Mr. Xiao was joking, this is the New Year's Day event, and when this gust of wind passes, who will remember our thoughts?"
Haha, this little fat fox. Xiao Mingnan faced the window with his glasses so bright that he smiled at Rogo without comment.
Is that? This old fox. God knows what happened just now. If the author's resources were really robbed, could you still reveal your own short words to make me happy?
