Countercurrent Xiangjiang giants

Chapter 20 020 Bantam Book Company

When Dong Guozhong entered, he was followed by two people, one was a foreigner and the other was an Asian, wearing a pair of glasses, very refined, and he didn't know where he came from.

"Ah Chu, you are really amazing!" Dong Guozhong laughed as soon as he entered the door.

Zhao Yazhi smiled slightly on one side, and found three pairs of slippers for the three of them, like a hostess.

Dong Guozhong was startled, he glanced at Lin Chu, reached out and patted his arm and said, "This is Miss Zhao?"

"Hello Dong Bo!" Zhao Yazhi smiled.

Dong Guozhong nodded: "I'm a fan of Ms. Zhao, whether it's Su Rongrong or Zhou Zhiruo, they've amazed everyone."

At this point, he changed the subject: "Ah Chu, you are a young man!"

"Dong Bo, come in and sit down." Lin Chu led the three of them in, and he naturally understood Dong Guozhong's meaning. This was to remind him not to make mistakes with women, after all, he already had Zhong Yuhong.

But he doesn't care at all, Xiangjiang in this era is actually somewhat traditional, and it is very accepting of this kind of thing.

The three of them were sitting at the dining table, and each of them had a few dishes in their hands, including roast goose, lobster, crab, etc., which were very rich.

The foreigner held out his hand to Lin Chu, and said in English: "Hi, Lin, I'm John from the American Bantam Books Company. I came across the book "Jurassic" by accident during my trip to Xiangjiang. Really well written.

I want to publish this book in the United States. I can give Mr. Lin 13.00% of the royalties. This book is very suitable for some western values. I think the price can be set between 26 and 32 US dollars.

Lin, you have to know that books are expensive things in the United States, why textbooks are so expensive? I believe you should agree. "

The general meaning of this sentence is that knowledge is priceless. Lin Chu shook his hand, then nodded and said, "I want a 15.00% royalty. You also said that knowledge is priceless!"

John was taken aback, then shrugged: "It's not cute at all, just like a businessman."

"The purpose of my writing is also to make money!" Lin Chu shrugged.

Zhao Yazhi's eyes on one side were very bright. She used to be a flight attendant, so her English skills are quite good. For her, Lin Chu's counterattack was very powerful, which made her feel a little bit proud.

Moreover, being able to get his book picked up by an American book company once again showed his talent, and she couldn't help worrying about gains and losses.

John thought for a while and said: "Lin, you know, such a high royalty is beyond my ability, I need to call back to ask for instructions, and I will contact you later.

But your book must be a top bestseller, and it may even win a Hugo Award, which is the highest award for science fiction. "

"John, I also think my writing is good, but you can see that Xiangjiang's royalties have reached 15.00%, so you can't be too stingy." Lin Chu shrugged.

John was startled, then waved his hand, and muttered, "What a preoccupied writer, like a businessman!"

Zhao Yazhi smiled with the corners of her mouth curled up, reached out to hold his hand, and held it tightly.

Dong Guozhong frowned. He knew Lin Chu's attractiveness. Such a talented man, good-looking and funny, naturally attracted women.

Another Asian man said in Mandarin: "Mr. Lin, I am Chen Bowen from Crown Publishing House in Taiwan, and we want to publish your book.

Don't worry, there is no problem with the 15.00% royalty, and we can even advance a part of the manuscript fee. According to the standard, the price of this book will be around NT$[-]. "

In 1980, one U.S. dollar could be exchanged for 25 New Taiwan dollars, which meant that a book was priced at [-] U.S. dollars, and Lin Chu could get [-] U.S. dollars for selling a book. He nodded: "No problem, I don’t know if you can pay in advance How much is the manuscript fee?"

"We are confident that this book will sell more than [-] copies, so we can advance Mr. Lin [-] US dollars." Chen Bowen smiled slightly.

Lin Chu nodded. The Taiwanese are indeed rich now, and Chen Bowen wrote a check on the spot.

Dong Guozhong said with a cheerful smile: "Ah Chu, I have also paid you the previous royalties here, 23 books, a total of [-] Hong Kong dollars."

After accepting the two checks, Lin Chu was very satisfied. The extra money could just be used to buy stocks.

This wave of market adjustments has almost been adjusted, but he wants to set aside 60 yuan to make movies, and the remaining money to buy stocks.

After signing the contract, John was a little depressed. Fortunately, he didn't have the heart to think about other things in front of the delicious food.

"Azhi, go and get out my wine." Lin Chu said softly.

Zhao Yazhi got up and took out the Moutai, Dong Guozhong said cheerfully: "I should drink some baijiu, I haven't had it for a long time, drinking red wine every day while socializing here in Xiangjiang is really unpleasant."

Dong Guozhong is a mainlander and a northerner, so he naturally likes to drink some baijiu, but John and Chen Bowen don't like it very much. They took a sip curiously, and then vomited immediately.

Zhao Yazhi served red wine for them, Lin Chu and Dong Guozhong drank slowly, Dong Guozhong enjoyed it, and he praised: "Ah Chu, you are so talented, this book can be regarded as a glory for the country!"

"Dong Bo, you can take back the manuscript of the second part in a while. For the first Chinese version, I will give it to Mr. Chen directly. You can coordinate what to do later." Lin Chu said.

Chen Bowen smiled: "I still have to stay in Xiangjiang for a few days, and then I will just make a copy. Lin Sheng, if the second copy is finished, remember to let me know, and I will pick it up in person."

"It's easy to say." Lin Chu nodded.

Zhao Yazhi peeled the prawns, slowly put a few in his bowl, and added wine to him and Dong Guozhong.

Dong Guozhong glanced at her and praised: "Miss Zhao is really beautiful, even more beautiful than what she saw on TV."

"Dong Bo can just call me Ah Zhi, you are Ah Chu's elder, then you are my elder." Zhao Yazhi said seriously.

Dong Guozhong glanced at Lin Chu and said, "But you have to look at Ah Chu, men of his age have a lot of affairs, and in addition to the special situation here in Xiangjiang, there will be many women who miss him."

Lin Chu was taken aback. Dong Guozhong wouldn't tell the story about him and Zhong Yuhong, would he?
It's just that there is no panic on his face, he is quite calm. For him, he has experienced big storms, so he is naturally not moved by such a small matter. Even if Zhao Yazhi really knows something, he is sure to suppress it go down.

"Dong Bo don't worry, Ah Chu treats me very well, and his attraction to women proves that I have a good eye." Zhao Yazhi smiled sweetly.

Lin Chu stretched out his hand to hold her hand, heaving a sigh of relief, she was really gentle and virtuous, and would always give him face in front of outsiders.
