Chapter 113 Sincerity Is Priceless

Chapter 113 Sincerity is Priceless

Silver blue library.

some office.

The editor-in-chief, Lu Bei, was about to go to the conference room for a meeting, when he suddenly saw the old bear running over like a heavy tank, panting heavily.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Bei quickly avoided it.

Old Xiong gasped for breath while holding the door, and he was able to speak for a while: "I just sent you Chu Kuang's new book, you must read it!"

"Chu Kuang's new book?"

Lu Bei's heart moved, and he nodded. Seeing that the old bear was panting again, he didn't say much, and went directly to the conference room.

This is an internal meeting.

A certain leader was pointing at a certain copywriting and talking about it, but Lu Bei suddenly remembered what Old Xiong said just now, so he simply took out his mobile phone and secretly clicked on the new Chu Kuang book he had just sent.

Lu Bei likes Chu Kuang very much.

The short story "Magi's Gift" written by Chu Kuang last time moved Lu Bei to such an extent that he even did not hesitate to put down his work during the Chinese New Year and go back to spend the Spring Festival with his family. Since then, Lu Bei has been following the development of Chu Kuang's works .

"Zhu Xian?"

The title of the novel this time is quite domineering, Lu Bei thought so, and began to read quietly. Anyway, this kind of high-level meeting is always stinky and long, and it is impossible to end without an hour.

Be careful not to be discovered.

This is not the first time that Lu Bei has deserted in the meeting room, and he has never turned over, because he will not keep his head down to read novels, and occasionally pretend to listen to the meeting report seriously, nodding from time to time, and even typing a few times on the keyboard of the notebook in a serious manner , as if taking minutes of a meeting——

In fact, all typing is garbled.

The kind that programmers dare not recognize.

But this time Lu Bei was careless, he didn't expect "Zhu Xian" to be so magical, he was completely engrossed after watching it for ten minutes, he even forgot to type the garbled code pretending to be a meeting record, and he didn't even hear someone shouting at him arrive:

"Chief editor?"

"Chief editor?"

In the end, the high-talking leader got anxious and slammed the table down, his voice very angry: "Lu Bei!"

"ah?"

Only then did Lu Bei come back to his senses, he couldn't help but smiled awkwardly, and reluctantly put down his phone. Most of the senior executives present were on the same level as him, and if they weren't so angry, the other party wouldn't call him by his name directly.

The meeting continues.

Lu Bei felt uncomfortable.

He really wanted to continue watching, because his mind was full of the plot of "Zhu Xian", and he couldn't help but look forward to the next development. He didn't listen to a word of what was discussed in this meeting, and just wanted to end the meeting quickly. Go back and continue reading.

"The meeting is over!"

Finally, the meeting is over.

Lu Bei hurried out of the conference room, took out his mobile phone and planned to call Lao Xiong, but found that Lao Xiong was waiting for him at the door, his tone was quite eager: "Should we mention Chu Kuang's contract? "

"How much before?"

"Seven percent."

"Ten percent mentioned."

Lu Bei said without hesitation. This is the price of many established best-selling authors. It stands to reason that Chu Kuang's reputation is not interesting for the time being, but Lu Bei is sure that the popularity of Chu Kuang's new book will definitely not be lower than the previous "Net King" ", even though he has only read much of it now.

"Understood."

Old Bear was not surprised at all.

His first reaction after reading "Zhu Xian" was that this novel was about to become popular.

Old Xiong never thought that Xianxia novels could be written like this!

He was shocked!

This is also the reason why he rushed out of the meeting room like crazy before!

He has to come forward in person to greet multiple departments including the Propaganda Department and the Publishing Department, and he has to attract the attention of the editor-in-chief so that the editor-in-chief understands how good this novel is.

"correct."

Just when Old Xiong was about to leave, Lu Bei suddenly got a little angry and said, "I asked you to get Chu Kuang's autograph last time, why didn't you get it?"

The old bear froze.

He completely forgot about it, and he believed that the editor-in-chief also forgot about it, but the appearance of "Zhu Xian" reminded him of it.

...

Lin Yuan naturally didn't know the reaction "Zhu Xian" caused in the editorial department, but he received a call from Yang Feng after school at night.

"Teacher Chu Kuang!"

Yang Feng clearly noticed that the tone of his conversation with Chu Kuang became more and more humble: "Your new writing is simply amazing. The company is considering publishing the first volume of "Zhu Xian" next month. I don't know your opinion. how?"

It wasn't like this before.

If it was before, Yang Feng would probably say something like this: "Chu Kuang, congratulations, your novel has passed the review of our editorial department, and our company will arrange for the publication of this novel next month."

Means the same.

It's just that the attitude is different.

Lin Yuan naturally couldn't hear the subtle changes in the other party's attitude.

He was as concise as ever: "It can be published, when will the contract be signed?"

"That's right!"

Yang Feng said with a smile: "The company has decided to increase the royalties of your novels to 10%, which is a very high price in the industry. May I ask what else you need us to do..."

"very good!"

Lin Yuan raised his voice subconsciously.

Yang Feng was a little surprised. Didn't Chu Kuang not love money? Why did he look elated when he heard that royalties can increase the price?

Yes.

Money represents many meanings.

Probably what Mr. Chu Kuang cares about is not the increase in royalties at all, but the recognition of his writing ability by the company and the sincerity expressed by the company through money!

Royalty has a price.

Sincerity is priceless.

Moreover, what he wrote this time is about the theme of Xianxia, ​​and he must have suffered a certain amount of psychological pressure when writing, so he naturally needed various forms of approval.

Think about it.

Yang Feng smiled and said: "It's good that you are satisfied, and I must inform you that the company will start the pre-sale promotion of "Zhu Xian" soon!"

"Um."

"That's it?"

"so be it."

Lin Yuan hung up the phone in a good mood.

Lin Yuan is very satisfied that Yinlan Library can always take the initiative to raise prices.

It seems that choosing to continue to cooperate with Yinlan Library is indeed a good decision.

Should the price be raised in the future?

Go back and ask your sister what she said.

My sister Lin Xuan is an expert in the publishing industry, so she should understand it better.

Speaking of which, Lin Yuan also considered sending "Zhu Xian" to his sister's publishing house,

However, after Lin Yuan investigated, he found that the scale of his sister's publishing house was not large enough, and it was definitely not as good as Yinlan Bookstore in terms of making money, so Lin Yuan gave up.

Compared to making money for my sister, of course making money is more important.

As for the elder sister, the big deal is to share some of the money with her.

She worked hard to earn performance in order to get a higher salary, and Lin Yuan still understood this reason.

My sister must also like money more.

Is there anyone in this world who doesn't like money?

And it was the night when Lin Yuan and Yang Feng finished talking on the phone.

On the official website of Yinlan Bookstore, the news that the writer Chu Kuang will release a new book in July has finally been posted, which can be regarded as a warm-up mode for the promotion of the new book.

As soon as the news came out.

Chu Kuang's book fans are excited!
