After a while.

Most of the professors present signed and approved the manuscript.

"Thank you Mr. Shiraishi for your support..."

When Professor Shiraishi handed the manuscript back to Bai Gui, he bowed deeply to express his gratitude.

This is the benefit of having a professor in the academic world as a teacher.

Of course, this also requires one's own strength to achieve it. Without strength, everything is empty talk.

"Well..., it's okay, I'll ask a few people to sign and recommend you tomorrow."

Professor Shiraishi smiled kindly.

If it weren't for Bai Gui's sincere thanks and gratitude, even if he was optimistic about Bai Gui's manuscript and future, he would probably just do superficial work, not light or heavy, and how could he be so concerned.

There is no reward without effort.

Thinking of monopolizing it, you may get nothing.

"Mr. Bai, what masterpiece have you written?"

At this time, Yamada Mitsuko couldn't help but come up. Just now, Bai Gui asked Professor Shiraishi for advice, and she was embarrassed to come up, but now that it was over, she was also curious about what Bai Gui wrote.

When Bai Gui handed over the manuscript, she frowned after reading it.

It was too obscure.

In the Qin Empire, people who had studied the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period would not have reading difficulties, but Bai Gui's work, which was compiled from research materials and was similar to a paper, was still very difficult to read except for this group of professors who read it seriously.

"Mr. Bai, you must be tired of writing the manuscript. I will treat you to a meal later."

Mitsuko Yamada said "diligently".

She glanced at it for a few times and felt that the manuscript was boring, so she handed it to Bai Gui again.

"Okay."

Bai Gui touched the 17 yen in his arms. Minister Wu gave him an allowance, and he couldn't eat empty salaries all day long. He had to do something practical.

As for Mitsuko Yamada finding the manuscript boring, that was nothing.

He wrote this novel to tell the confused Chinese people how to go, and to establish his literary status through this novel and reach the peak of writing again.

Writers also have a contempt chain.

Liu Wentian of Southwest Associated University once said: "What kind of professor is Shen Congwen? If he can be a professor, then I am not a great professor?"

He once said: "Chen Yinke is the real professor. He should get 400 yuan, I should get 40 yuan, Zhu Ziqing should get 4 yuan, and as for Shen Congwen, he should not even get 40 cents! If he is a professor, then what am I?"

So there are 10 Liu Wentians and 100 Zhu Ziqings between Chen Yinke at the top and Shen Congwen at the bottom.

And what does Chen Yinke do?

He is a historian, a researcher of classical literature, etc. He wrote books such as "Draft on the Origin of Sui and Tang Systems" and "Draft on the Political History of the Tang Dynasty".

History cannot avoid Chen Yinke.

He also invented the name of Guanlong Group.

So, as for writers, those at the top despise writing about love and romance, and those at a higher level write satirical novels, such as Xun Ge'er. Those at a higher level write historical novels, expounding on issues such as historical evolution...

Although Bai Gui also likes to read "Border Town", he thinks that if he can be a high-end writer, he should be a high-end writer.

Standing at the top of the contempt chain, this feels good.

…

After the first draft was finalized.

Bai Gui also had no spare time to do other things. In addition to practicing martial arts every day, the rest of the time was spent writing the second volume of the Great Qin Empire and the remaining content of "Guns, Germs, and Steel".

During this period, the second volume of the Great Qin Empire was also on the verge of completion.

Asahi Society got the news.

"Mr. Bai, the second volume of the Great Qin Empire is about to be completed. I hope Asahi Society can re-issue the second volume as a single volume. As for the royalties for the first issue, it will be the same as last time, with an increase of 4,000 copies. I wonder what Mr. Bai means by that?" Gu

is still a member of Asahi Society from last time.

"This price..."

Bai Gui frowned slightly.

His current value is different from when he published the first volume of The Great Qin Empire. Logically, Asahi should raise his royalties, even if it is just one percentage point higher.

It is too blunt not to mention this point!

"When Mr. Bai published the first volume of the book, because Mr. Bai had a good reputation and good sales, he was well received by readers, so the company raised Mr. Bai's royalties to 13%, two percentage points more..."

"Now Mr. Bai has offended Senior Natsume..."

"The company is worried about the sale of Mr. Bai's second volume, and the price... is not low!"

The Asahi member smiled and said.

"Sorry, I need to think about it."

Bai Gui frowned.

This is the story of three people making a tiger!

He and Natsume Soseki did not have a deep conflict, they just ignored each other, but as time went on, the two of them did not do anything, but the Asahi company and their readers could not help but spread rumors...

This can also be seen in some fans of celebrities in later generations.

The two stars were talking and laughing, and their relationship was not that cold, but the fans insisted that they had a grudge against each other.

There is no smoke without fire, no flies bite seamless eggs, and no sound from a single slap.

In short, there are many reasons.

"I also agree with Mr. Bai's consideration."

The member of the Asahi Society nodded.

It is impossible to negotiate royalties successfully the first time. After all, writers are all arrogant, and it is normal that some of them cannot accept such a blow for a while...

When the time comes, they will naturally choose to agree!

No one can resist money, let alone such a large amount of royalties.

Although there is so-called peer competition, they generally do not get too involved in this matter. Asahisha has already given a lot of royalties, and other publishers may not be able to provide these. Besides, the first volume has already been published. Published by Asahisha, if the second volume is chosen by another publisher, it will inevitably lose popularity...

After comprehensive consideration, he felt that Bai Gui would definitely choose their Asahi Society again.

After the Asahi Club members leave.

Bai Gui took a deep breath and continued writing the manuscript.

Although Natsume Soseki didn't say to suppress him, it is normal for him to flatter others and suppress others. Human society has always been like this. Maybe if they do this, they may not be happy with Natsume Soseki, but there are always people who are happy to do it...

Thinking reversely, perhaps in the eyes of some people, this... is called sensible!

More than two days.

Bai Gui found Mitsuko Yamada and planned to ask her to recommend a publishing house, "I am now, um, you know... people in the industry say that Natsume Soseki and I are at loggerheads. It is very important to find the next publishing house. This book is my correct name." !”

He took out the book "Guns, Germs, and Steel", slapped it on the table, and said.

In this book, he made a lot of deletions and made some predictions about the future path of the Qing Dynasty, but his words were much more toned down. He only started from the perspective of geography, humanities, etc., and did not touch on the system at all.

As a scholar, he was very clear about avoiding these methods.

"This book?"

Yamada Mitsuko was surprised.

Although she couldn't read this book, she also knew that it was a good book, otherwise there would not be so many professors recommending it.

"Yes, its sales may not be as good as "I Am Cat", but it stands at the top of the contempt chain!"

Bai Guidao.
