Reborn, I really don't want to fall in love

Chapter 204 The conversation between Jiang Ruoxiao and Yan Wei’s mother; book publishing, desperate editor. ([-]-in-[-])

After hearing her sister's words, Jiang Ruoxiao frowned slightly, with a slightly displeased expression: "Sister, in your eyes, only those children are excellent, and children from ordinary families are not outstanding."

"Okay, sister, I won't talk to you now, my company still has something to do, and I have to deal with it." After saying this, Jiang Ruoxiao hung up the phone directly.

What Jiang Ruoxiao dislikes the most is looking at people with colored glasses. Although it is undeniable that the children of those people are more likely to be excellent, it does not mean that children from ordinary families will not have excellent people, but the probability is lower. Or a hidden piece of gold that hasn't been discovered yet.

Yan Wei's mother in the villa, looking at the phone that was hung up, shook her head slightly and sighed.

"Ruoxiao, I finally understand father, why did you have to think of a way to make your small company go bankrupt, and this girl's character is really a little anxious, which is completely different from your frosty face. Two things, don't listen to me at all, my words obviously don't mean that."

In the following time, Lin Yu stayed in the store for a long time, carefully thinking about whether to open a branch. The business of this clothing store has reached the bottleneck area, and now the daily income has stabilized. The income is only about 1 yuan.

Although the income is very good, Lin Yu at this time always feels that it is a bit small. He doesn't feel much about earning this little money every day, and he doesn't get any sense of satisfaction. He doesn't even grow as much money every day as his own stock market.

Lin Yu knew about the clothing store business. If he wanted to continue, he could only continue to open a branch, but that was not Lin Yu's goal. After all, no matter how successful the chain clothing store was, that would be it.

Lin Yu wasn't interested either, so he fumbled around in chain clothing stores.

At this time, Lin Yu was thinking about a new development path.

Although Lin Yu has a lot of good money-making ideas in his mind, after all, he has more than ten years of future experience, Lin Yu knows that as long as he succeeds in any one of the ways, he will be famous.

But that's easier said than done.

Starting a business is never that simple.

Even if you know that online shopping will become popular, but you are sure that you can really win the game, or you think you are Liu Dongqiang's opponent, or you don't have a lot of funds and contacts, you can create a fight .

Lin Yu knew that he had to keep himself awake all the time, and he couldn't get inflated just because he knew something about the future.

Don't be careless just because the wind is going smoothly during this period.

Doing business is far from that simple, and it is not something you can just succeed in if you want to.

Lin Yu knew that if the business was not going well, his millions would be turned into bubbles in an instant. Although he knew the general direction of development, he had no way of grasping many details.

Thinking of Lin Yu here, he decided to calm himself down first, think about the next step of development, and then make a decision.

It must be guaranteed that the investment is not large, and it is an industry with high return efficiency, low risk and very stable, and you have a lot of confidence.

At this time, Lin Yu planned that if he really couldn't find a suitable industry, he could just be a millionaire with peace of mind.

Anyway, you must be steady, and you must not waver.

Let's enjoy ourselves first.

Lin Yu didn't want to be a gambler, betting all his belongings in an uncertain industry, and even an industry that was at risk of bankruptcy.

And, to Lin Yu's surprise, Tai Dao contacted him for his Douluo novel, wanting to purchase the copyright of this book in traditional characters.

After all, no writer has a dream of being published.

A writer who doesn't want to publish is not a good writer, of course a writer who pays for it to publish, let alone a writer who doesn't sell a few books at all, shame on the writer.

The kind of poems that write peeing are even more despised by everyone.

If it was other copyrights of novels, Lin Yu would not sell them at all, because the current domestic copyright market has not developed at all, and copyrights worth tens of millions in a few years will only be worth hundreds of thousands now.

But the value of the traditional Chinese version is the highest now, because the current novel market on Taiwan Island is very good, but after a few years the market there will not be good, and it will get worse and worse later, so I sell it now The most suitable.

You should take advantage of the hot market over there to earn as much as you can.

Even if Taiwan Island doesn't take the initiative to contact him, Lin Yu is ready to contact him, but of course it's better for them to contact him, so that he has more initiative to negotiate the price.

When talking about the price, Lin Yu was asking for prices at the beginning. Anyway, the novel market there is very hot. The most important thing is that at this time, there is money there, and Lin Yu's book is now very strong, relying on the plot. and quality, as well as the amount of updates that are not suitable for people, directly rushed to No.2 in the monthly ticket rankings.

As a result, Lin Yu was fully qualified to negotiate the price, which also made Lin Yu just start asking for prices.

At the beginning, Lin Yu's lion opened his mouth wide, and the clerk who contacted him was so scared that he didn't dare to speak. Maybe they were really reluctant to part with Lin Yu's very popular book.

Then the editor-in-chief came to talk to him, and finally Lin Yu slowly dropped from [-] per volume to [-], and then Lin Yu insisted on the price of [-] per volume. It may be too expensive, after all, I have no reputation there at all.

The price is already very high. Lin Yu saw that in the author group, many well-known authors were sold for [-].

But Lin Yu insisted on the price, which made the editor-in-chief very annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. After all, this book was an order from the president. Their Qingmiao Publishing House was originally the Second Publishing House. But it fell to the fourth place. It was because there were no popular works, so I took a fancy to Lin Yu's book, and hoped to make another popular novel, so that the status of the publishing house could be raised again.

But it can't be higher, otherwise the editor-in-chief will not be able to report to the publishing company at all, but the transaction cannot fail. After all, the editor-in-chief himself thought at the beginning that this author is a newcomer and should not have much copyright awareness, so he wanted to let The subordinates bought it directly with 5000 yuan for a copy, and they didn't need to come forward at all, but they didn't expect Lin Yu to be so aware of copyright, and it was difficult to negotiate the price. The current situation makes the editor-in-chief very uncomfortable.

The editor-in-chief can only speak good things to Lin Yu and sell it badly, saying that the price is too high, and he has no right to give such a high price. Moreover, the publishing house will never agree to this price. It's better to hold your hands high and stop asking for prices.

At this time, the editor-in-chief felt that he was humbled to death, and he had never been so humble. Before, other authors saw that he was not respectful, but now the publishing house is not as good as before, and he made a promise from the president that he will definitely be able to sign. After writing this book, otherwise the editor-in-chief would have been unwilling to pay attention to Lin Yu. The editor-in-chief has never seen such an author who can negotiate prices in his life.

The mainland authors that the editor-in-chief met in the past were all stupid, and the price was whatever he said. He even heard that he had chosen his book for publication, and was even grateful to himself. The editor-in-chief felt desperate at this time.

Really desperate.

But the editor in chief didn't know about Lin Yu. He was very aware of the situation on Taiwan Island at this time. It was the most glorious time for the major publishing houses there. If they don't kill them now, when will they kill them? It can't be slaughtered, and Lin Yu is also very aware of the value of copyright.

Moreover, although Lin Yu is not short of money now, he will not despise that he has a lot of money, let alone let the publishing house over there take advantage of him.

When it comes to the end, the editor-in-chief is already talking about despair.

"The author, I really can't give you your price. You can also ask other authors. There is no one who negotiates the price like you. It's too high. I can't give you such a high price at all. "

Lin Yu then replied forcefully: "In this case, I will talk to Yuanjing Publishing House. They are also contacting me now. As you know, my book is now in the top three of the list. There are many Publishers rushed to cooperate with me, if you can’t give it, forget it.”

Of course, these were made up by Lin Yu. Where did other publishers contact him? Anyway, the other party didn't know, and it was even more impossible to verify it. He could make up whatever he wanted.

Hearing the news from Lin Yu, the editor-in-chief of Taiwan Island was shocked. He didn't doubt Lin Yu's words. He knew that people in the same industry would do this, which made him even more anxious.

And quickly said: "Big Daddy Yiye Ruochen, you are a newcomer writer with me, and you are not well-known at all. I really can't give you a high price. Otherwise, see if you can lower the price per book." price, but how about we increase the share a little bit.”

Seeing the news from the publisher, Lin Yu was secretly delighted. Lin Yu's ultimate goal was to increase the share, but he couldn't say that he wanted to increase the share. He was going to pretend that he was helpless when the two talked about it. Said, then I will give me a little less copyright fee for each volume, and a little more share. To Lin Yu's surprise, the editor-in-chief opposite took the initiative to resist and wanted to increase the share for himself.

The share means that the more popular your book sells, the higher your income will be. The copyright fee is fixed, no matter whether the book is popular or not, the price that should be paid to you is the negotiated price.

Lin Yu is quite confident about whether this book will become popular.

I still held back a bit, expressed my dissatisfaction, and said that the people there are really stingy, and they are reluctant to spend such a little money. Forget it, this time it will be our first cooperation. I will take a step back and suffer a bit. As I said, I will share more, and the copyright fee will be less for each volume.

Seeing the news that Lin Yu said that he was at a disadvantage, the editor-in-chief sitting in the company felt like he was going to vomit blood. He had never seen such a brazen person who acted like a good boy when he got cheap.

In the end, for each volume that was negotiated, Lin Yu was given a copyright fee of [-] yuan, and a [-]% sales share.

Looking at the final price, Lin Yu was still very happy. This is equivalent to the copyright fee of 200 yuan for one thousand words of his book, and for every 100 yuan sold there, he can receive a share of [-] yuan. .

Lin Yu knew that even many old writers, let alone newcomers, would not be able to negotiate this price.

Lin Yu didn't think too much about it, he just thought that his book was valued by the other party, so he agreed to his price.

But he didn't know that the editor-in-chief over there looked at the last price and wanted to slam his head directly into the computer in front of him. He knew the price and would definitely be reprimanded by the president, but he had no choice. Without a guarantee, we can only bite the bullet and negotiate at this price.

There was no other way, the editor-in-chief had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the negotiated price to the president's office. He knew that waiting for him would be a meal of abuse.

Soon, a burst of cursing came from the president's office.

After a long time, the editor-in-chief came out with a bitter face and dejected. What made the editor uncomfortable was not being scolded, but because if the novel didn't become popular, he would pack up and leave.

Things have already happened, so there is nothing to do. The editor-in-chief looked at "Douluo Dalu" in his hand, and knew in his heart that all his hopes can only be hoped that this book will become popular, otherwise he can only leave here in despair.

This also made the editor-in-chief, with the determination to break the pot and sink the boat, focus on the release and promotion of this book.

Within a few days, Lin Yu received a letter from Taiwan Island. Lin Yu knew that it contained the contract for publishing the novel in traditional form.

Lin Yu returned to the dormitory. After opening the letter, he didn't rush to sign it. Instead, he read the contract carefully. Lin Yu couldn't understand some clauses in the contract, but Lin Yu knew, especially when it involved For copyright-type things, you must not sign indiscriminately.

No, you can't sign anything casually, especially on blank paper, you can't sign at all.

Lin Yu thought for a while, then called Yan Wei.

At this time, Yan Wei was still busy with the affairs of the student union. When she saw that it was Lin Yu's call, a look of surprise flashed across Yan Wei's face, and she quickly put down her work, and walked aside to answer the phone.

When Lin Yu saw the phone ringing, he said, "Weiwei, do you know a reliable lawyer who can read copyright contracts?"

After hearing Lin Yu's words, Yan Wei quickly said, "Yes, I can contact a lawyer who specializes in copyright."

"Really? That's good. I'm going to sign a publishing contract with a publishing house on Taiwan Island. The contract has been sent to me now, but I don't know if there is any problem in the contract, so I thought Ask a reliable lawyer to help me take a look." Lin Yu said.

"Then send me the contract, and I'll get someone to check it out for you, to see if there's anything wrong with it." Yan Wei said softly.

Yan Wei was not surprised that Lin Yu's book could be published, she was just happy for Lin Yu.

"Okay, thank you, otherwise, I would have to find a law firm." Lin Yu thanked.

"It's okay, Lin Yu, we don't need to be so polite. I haven't come to remember to thank you for the things you helped me before. I even asked you to eat, but I asked you to pay the bill, which made me feel a little bit uncomfortable. Excuse me." Yan Wei bit her lip and said softly, thinking of the scene of eating with Lin Yu and her aunt, Yan Wei felt very happy, and Lin Yu was holding her hand tightly. that kind of warmth.
