the next day.
Traditional Culture Publishing House.
"The manager feels a little different today."
"Hasn't he been worried about the future of the publishing house? In order to sign a first-line author, he kept making phone calls every day and was very busy. In the end, he was still unwilling to sign to our publishing house."
"Are you not in a hurry? The efficiency of our publishing house has been getting lower and lower in recent years. We have already suffered a lot of losses this year. There are still many unsold books in the warehouse. If we can't sign best-selling works again, we will The publishing house is really finished.”
"Actually, the manager also works very hard."
"Before today, it was really hard, and I always looked sad. But today, it's like a new person. Just after entering the company, he started to smile. He even wore a suit and tidied up his appearance. Is there anything wrong with our publishing house? A good thing?"
"What good thing can we do? Yesterday, the manager asked us to clean the house for no reason. Judging from the current situation, there should be no best-selling works. I guess Manager Zhang did this because he wanted to publish it for us. Sell the club, clean it up, and sell it for a good price?"
In the publishing house, the employees were talking a lot.
In the manager's office.
Zhang Xingjie was sitting at his desk with an excited look on his face, looking at the time and drinking water. He looked a little nervous.
Although he holds a high position.
However, at this moment of life and death for the publishing house, even he could not help but be nervous.
The key is.
The person he is about to meet is someone who really has a great relationship with the future of their publishing house. He knows very clearly that if the negotiation is successful today, then the publishing house will survive, and even its future development will be better. Even better, after all, that person is Fang Qiu. If Fang Qiu can join, other first-line authors will definitely regard Traditional Culture Publishing House as their first choice publisher.
There is no way, who makes Fang Qiu so popular now.
Not to mention first-tier authors, even first-tier celebrities want to ride on Fang Qiu's popularity, which shows how influential Fang Qiu is.
It can be said.
Fang Qiu is now the only light that the entire Traditional Culture Publishing House can see.
As long as we grasp this light, this publishing house will completely step out of the darkness and face the light.
But if not.
Then, the publishing house is completely finished.
For Fang Qiu, choosing a publishing house is an easy task, but for Traditional Culture Publishing House, Fang Qiu is the only hope they must seize.
certainly.
Only the manager Zhang Xingjie knew.
Morning, nine o'clock sharp.
Under the doubtful gazes of all the employees, Zhang Xingjie walked out of the office excitedly and came to the office building where the publishing house was located with a smile on his face.
Not a few minutes.
A transfer car stopped in front of the office building.
A man wearing a mask got out of the car and walked over.
This person.
It's Fang Qiu!
"Hello."
Walking to Zhang Xingjie, Fang Qiu opened his mask, stretched out his hand to Zhang Xingjie, and said, "I checked your publishing house on the Internet."
"Hello."
Zhang Xingjie immediately shook hands with Fang Qiu excitedly and said, "I'm so embarrassed to have you come all the way here. I should have been the one to see you."
“I haven’t come into contact with a publishing house before, so I wanted to drop by and have a look.”
Fang Qiu said.
"Yes, please."
Zhang Xingjie nodded and immediately asked Fang Qiu to go upstairs.
Get into the elevator.
Fang Qiu took off his mask and put it in his trouser pocket.
After getting out of the elevator, directly led by Zhang Xingjie, we walked around the Traditional Culture Publishing House and finally entered Zhang Xingjie's office.
This way.
Everyone was wondering and guessing what was going on.
Zhang Xingjie suddenly came with Fang Qiu.
See Fang Qiu.
The employees in the publishing house were all stunned.
Everyone was full of surprise and silently watched Fang Qiu walk into the manager's office.
The whole place was silent.
It wasn't until the sound of the manager's office door being closed that these people came back to their senses.
"Gang, was that handsome guy just now Fang Qiu?"
A female employee was the first to speak out.
"Yeah?"
"Is it really Fang Qiu?"
"I can't believe it. Fang Qiu came to our publishing house?"
"It's him, it seems like it's really him!"
"It's Fang Qiu."
"It's really Fang Qiu!"
At this time, all employees were excited.
"But why does Fang Qiu come to our place? We are a publishing house!"
"Could it be that Fang Qiu is coming to publish a book?"
"No wonder the manager asked us to clean the house yesterday. He is still smiling today. It turns out he knew Fang Qiu was coming!"
Talking and talking.
Everyone unconsciously thought of Fang Qiu's recent super topic on Weibo.
With Fang Qiu's current heat.
If a book is really published, it cannot be described simply by two words: "hot"!
There is help.
The publishing house is saved!
All employees were very excited.
but.
They also knew very well that Fang Qiu just came to their publishing house and might not actually publish a book in their publishing house, so everyone felt as if they had been scratched by a kitten and kept stealing to the experience office. Look, I’m not even in the mood to work anymore.
In the manager's office.
"This is a good tea from my private collection, but I'm not very good at making tea, otherwise I would make a pot for you myself."
He made a cup of tea for Fang Qiu in a large ancient tea cup and handed it over. Zhang Xingjie said, "Since Mr. Fang has read the plan sent to you by our publishing house, I will talk about it openly."
"Thanks."
Fang Qiu took the tea, responded with a smile and said, "You tell me."
"I don't know if Mr. Fang intends to write an autobiography or an essay. As long as you are willing, everything is easy to discuss in terms of remuneration."
Zhang Xingjie said.
"Let's not talk about this first."
Fang Qiu took a sip of tea and said, "I'm going to find someone to write the Biography of Sun Simiao, the Biography of Li Shizhen, the Biography of Hua Tuo, the Biography of Zhang Zhongjing, the Biography of Confucius, and the Biography of Mencius."
On the plane to Kyoto, Fang Qiu thought about it carefully.
The reason why Confucius and Mencius were added is because Fang Qiu felt that children in those mountainous areas should also be allowed to understand the great life stories of China’s sages and ancestors, build their national self-confidence from an early age, and promote China’s traditional culture.
"ah?"
Zhang Xingjie looked at Fang Qiu in confusion.
He didn't understand what Fang Qiu was doing!
Not to write a book, but to place an order directly?
"These books you mentioned are actually available in our publishing house, but they cannot be sold."
Zhang Xingjie gave a wry smile and said: "You also know that young people nowadays like to read online novels. Even if many people often use this type of books, they only go online to check the length they need. You won’t spend money to buy them. Now these books are no different from scraps. What do you want these books for?”
"Donate it."
Fang Qiu smiled and said: "If you have all the books I mentioned, I hope you can print one million copies of each volume and donate them all."
Hear the words.
Zhang Xingjie was shocked.
"You, what are you doing?"
Looking at Fang Qiu, Zhang Xingjie tried to ask with a shocked face: "Do you know how much it will cost to do what you said?"
"have no idea."
Fang Qiu shook his head and said, "Make a price!"
"Let me do the math for you."
Zhang Xingjie smiled bitterly and said to Fang Qiu: "Now, the cost of a book is about 5 yuan. Of course, it will be cheaper if it is printed and pirated, but we can't do this, can we?"
"The book you just mentioned, there are six in total."
"One million copies of each type, which means a total of six million copies."
"Based on the cost price of 5 yuan per copy, at least 30 million funds are needed, which is not a small amount."
Hear the words.
Fang Qiu nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
"kindness?"
Zhang Xingjie was stunned.
He was still waiting for Fang Qiu to retreat.
Why is it fine?
Did you hear that right?
Zhang Xingjie looked at Fang Qiu in surprise and asked, "Do you really want it?"
Although these books are available in the publisher's warehouse, the reserves are simply not enough. To print one million copies of each volume would require very large funds to support them.
Therefore, it was not that Zhang Xingjie did not want to take this business, but he felt that Fang Qiu would definitely not be able to spend the money, so he had the idea of waiting for Fang Qiu to quit.
Unexpectedly, Fang Qiu nodded directly.
"I need one for children under fifteen years old. How soon can you print it?"
Fang Qiu asked.
"Do you really want it?"
Zhang Xingjie asked in surprise.
"right."
Fang Qiu nodded firmly.
This time.
Zhang Xingjie suddenly became excited.
This is a big order!
Even if Fang Qiu doesn't write his autobiography, this big deal can still make him millions!
No matter what, this order must satisfy Fang Qiu.
After all, Fang Qiu has not yet decided whether to publish an autobiography. If this deal is completed and the two parties cooperate happily, maybe Fang Qiu is really interested in writing an autobiography?
"good."
While excited, Zhang Xingjie pondered again and said: "Now, the books in our warehouse are all for adults. Of course, we can also change them according to your requirements. It is relatively easy to change them. However, these If all the books are printed..."
He hesitated for a while.
Zhang Xingjie gritted his teeth and said, "About half a month!"
actually.
For publishing houses, this time can be said to be frighteningly short.
It is simply impossible to print six million books in such a short period of time.
but.
In order to complete this order with Fang Qiu perfectly, Zhang Xingjie planned to find several printing plants at the same time, work overtime to rush the printing, and also worked overtime to revise the manuscript. Anyway, not a minute was wasted, and this must be completed perfectly. Dana finished.
Because he could see that Fang Qiu was quite anxious about these books.
After saying that.
Zhang Xingjie looked at Fang Qiu expectantly.
"OK, alright."
Fang Qiu also felt that the time was about the same and that the other party was sincere, so he nodded immediately and said: "Sign the contract."
Zhang Xingjie was stunned at first.
Then, I immediately felt that the whole world suddenly became so lovely and happy.
It's so exciting to have such a big deal come to you by yourself and be able to sign it so quickly.
"Okay, I'll notify the legal department immediately to prepare the contract."
In excitement, Zhang Xingjie responded, then immediately got up and left the office.
