my sister is a supermodel

Kate asked in surprise.

Felix smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am the general manager of Greenwood Publishing House. You have submitted a manuscript to our publishing house, right?"

"Greenwood?"

Kate forgot that this matter was done by Nina, since the other party said so, it should be true.

"Phili, did you come to reject the manuscript in person?"

Rocca laughed.

"No, we are here for cooperation! Our company hopes to have the opportunity to publish the novel "Twilight""

"really?"

Kate was a little surprised.

"Yes Kate!"

Han Li smiled and said, "I am the editor of Greenwood Publishing House. This time, the manuscript you submitted happened to be reviewed by me. After reading it, I think it is very good. I checked the author's information and found that the name and contact address are the same as yours. It's a wonderful coincidence."

Is it really?

Roca touched his chin and thought to himself, if he is repaying a favor, should he accept it?

031. A novel with an uncertain future

In the evening, the orange sunset shines on No. 76 Street.

Han Li waved to the outside of the car and left Kate's apartment.

"Philly, Kate offered to lower the royalty share, she should have guessed we were helping"

In the back seat, Han Li asked softly after setting up little Jessica.

"maybe!"

Philly smiled softly as he drove the car.

When discussing the terms of the publishing agency just now, Kate said that no manuscript fee would be required, and the royalties would be reduced from 15% to 12%, leaving only an unrealistic film and television adaptation right.

Fili thinks that Kate is a very good pair of siblings, and neither is a greedy person.

"Feelie, will the cooperative company lose money this time?"

Han Li was a little worried again.

"Don't worry Emily, Kate herself is quite famous, and the quality of her novels is not bad. As long as we control the cost of publicity and distribution, we may be able to make a profit."

Especially under the premise that Kate actively reduces the royalty share, the company will make more profits.

"Okay! It's just that old Schwartz is definitely going to trouble you again"

Han Li sighed softly.

"Hmph! Publishing agency is my business. Old Schwartz points at me every time. His hand is too long."

Felix was dissatisfied.

"When you go to the company, don't quarrel with old Schwartz, after all, he is an elder"

Han Li persuaded gently.

"Well, I see!"

After Felix went to work the next day, he asked his assistant to draft a publishing agency contract, and asked his editors and people from the legal department to go to Kate to discuss the signing.

But not long after giving the order, a gray-haired old man broke into the office aggressively. This man is the chairman of the publishing house, Old Schwartz.

"Little Mason, look at what you are doing. You actually want to publish a vampire novel as an agent. I have to doubt your business level."

Old Schwartz supported his desk and shouted loudly.

Felix wiped the drool off his face and said dissatisfiedly, "Old Schwartz, this is my business, I don't need to explain it to you"

"Hmph, your business is your business. Since you took charge of the company's publishing business, the company's performance has declined year by year, which fully demonstrates your incompetence"

Schwartz Sr. was outspoken in his criticism.

Felix frowned, his face darkened, and he felt a little helpless.

The publishing house was founded by his grandfather, Harold Mason, and the father of this old Schwartz, Lotte Schwartz.

Mason Sr. is a professor and librarian at New York University, Lotte Schwartz is an antique bookseller, one is talented and the other is rich.

The two founded Greenwood Press in 1965.

The old Mason served as the editor-in-chief of the publishing house, in charge of the editing and publishing agency business.

And Lotte Schwartz is the general manager, in charge of the publicity and distribution business.

After two or three generations of hard work, the company has finally transformed from a small publishing house into a medium-sized publishing house with a market value of hundreds of millions of dollars.

After several mergers and combinations, the publishing house has also become a joint-stock company.

The Schwartz family owns 42 percent of the shares, while the Masons own 26 percent.

According to the agreement of the previous generation, the old Schwartz was appointed as the chairman, in charge of distribution, publicity and sales.

Felix, as general manager, remains in charge of the company's publishing operations.

In recent years, with the development of the Internet, e-books have gradually emerged, which has had a great impact on the paper book market.

The company has not represented popular publications for many years, and the decline in performance is inevitable.

Felix felt that it was not his fault, but the old Schwartz always liked to criticize him, trying to make him voluntarily hand over the position of general manager.

Felix didn't want to argue with him, so he sighed and said, "Old Schwartz, you have a bad heart, don't get too excited, if there is any problem, let's sit down and talk slowly, so as not to have a heart attack."

"Are you cursing me, you vicious little Mason!"

Old Schwartz was so angry that his beard was raised, and he was about to curse a few more words, when he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He took a breath, sat down slowly while supporting the table, his face was very ugly.

Felix smiled secretly, poured a cup of coffee and placed it in front of old Schwartz.

Old Schwartz took a sip of his coffee and spit it out again, "Oh, damned little Mason, do you want to burn me to death and inherit my position as chairman?"

Felix covered his forehead, a little helpless, the older this old thing became, the more unreasonable it became.
