Thirty, Negotiation (Part 1)
The place to eat is the most famous Giang Building in Huai'an Prefecture.
After the psychological construction along the way, Wu Qifei had returned to normal when he got off the bus. He greeted enthusiastically: "Mr. Wan, Miss Pu, Mr. Wu, and Classmate Jiang, please come in! This is a century-old restaurant. It is said that Huaiyang cuisine in Huai'an Prefecture is the most authentic here. We have been waiting for a long time. Today, it is still the blessing of Mr. Towan, and we can finally have a feast for the sake of the blessing!"
Jiang Shuiyuan smiled. No wonder "Zengguang Xianwen" says, "No one is asking about poverty in the downtown area, but rich in the deep mountains have distant relatives; if you don't believe it, look at the wine in the table, and toast the rich first with a cup." Just now, I was still a hot commodity in Wu Qifei's eyes, and in this blink, I fell to the fourth place. But it's better that Wu Qifei forgot about this, so that everyone can't worry.
Maybe Wan Xianrui's money was given to him. As soon as everyone entered the private room, all kinds of delicious dishes were served up. In addition, Wu Qifei was good at dancing, and he drank for a while, and the guests and hosts were all happy.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Wu Qifei cleared his throat and then picked up his glass: "We are from all over the world. We were fortunate to gather here at noon today. The key is to thank Jiang Shuiyuan! Jiang Shuiyuan is very outstanding. When he participated in the New Concept Composition Competition, we were amazed at the first sight of two short poems he wrote. Then we witnessed his extraordinary memory and exports with our own eyes. Editor Fang and I have always believed that Jiang Shuiyuan is the most famous and promising author among the winners of the New Concept Composition Competition in recent years!"
Wu Zichen picked up the water cup and shook it: "We are well-known for our boss's excellence. Although we are very grateful for your praise, please stop saying the well-known nonsense and say your purpose directly!"
Wu Qifei was choked and his face turned blue. Since he became president, no one has spoken to him like this for a long time, especially a high school student who is not familiar with the world. Fortunately, he has rich experience in life and can take it down and let it go: "That's right, we old people like to talk too much when they are old. Let me tell you a long story short. Given that the works published by Jiang Shuiyuan in our magazines were very popular before, and in order to further expand our influence, we want to collect a collection. I wonder what Classmate Jiang wants to do?"
Jiang Shuiyuan has thought about this carefully: "It is of course a good thing to be able to publish his own collection of works, but I am worried that those articles have been published in magazines and are written in a very ordinary way, so I am afraid that no one will read them even if they are printed. So, in my opinion, this matter is indispensable."
Wu Qifei smiled and said, "Student Jiang is too sluggish about his influence, right? Just be careful, the collection will be sold out!"
Wu Zichen nodded and understood their respective meanings, saying to Wu Qifei: "In terms of publishing works, there is no big conflict between the two sides' opinions, and there is a possibility of cooperation. Next, everyone should discuss the conditions for cooperation. I wonder what President Wu has to say?"
Wu Qifei did not show his trump card easily, but asked back: "I want to listen to Classmate Jiang's opinions first."
Before Jiang Shuiyuan came, he discussed this issue with Wu Zichen and Pu Xiaoxiang, and answered truthfully: "Considering that the sales of the works are not very wide, my personal opinion is that the royalty is calculated at 10% of the works, and all rights of the works are reserved. The works are not allowed to be used for any commercial purposes except with my permission. Because the learning tasks are heavy, I do not participate in any publicity or signing activities. Except for the author's profile, I cannot use my photos, so as not to have adverse effects on my daily life...."
When Wu Qifei heard that Jiang Shuiyuan had a lot of conditions listed, his face turned dark: "If you calculate it like this by classmate Jiang, then what profits can the publishing house and our publishing house be? "
Pu Xiaoxiang came forward and said: "First, calculate the royalty at 10% of Mayang, which is only a medium-sized and slightly higher level in the industry, and there is no sky-high price. Secondly, according to Jiang Shuiyuan's opinion, the publishing house will definitely be profitable, otherwise it will be difficult to explain why so many publishing houses in the market are following this standard. Why are they still living well? As for your magazine, except for making connections in the middle, it seems that they don't have to do anything, right? That's not how much they make is profit? But you can talk to the publishing house if it makes a difference!"
Wu Qifei originally wanted to make a big profit from it, but he didn't expect that others thought he was a soy sauce and a dry meal. He just threw some leftovers and wanted to dispose of himself. Is it unbearable? He said with a cold face: "If this is the case, then wouldn't our magazine pick a hundred flowers and make wedding clothes for others?"
Pu Xiaoxiang said disdainfully: "The one who picks flowers and makes honey, and the one who gathers sand to make a tower is the river water source. At most, your magazine is a good platform for publishing works, so don't be greedy for your own efforts. You really think it's unfair. Otherwise, you don't have to do anything. We contact the publisher ourselves and finally give you a commission of 2% of Mayang. How about it?"
Fang Quan was furious: "2%? Are you sending beggars? Then why are we still busy with work? Just beat them up and fall down!"
Jiang Shuiyuan didn't care: "Okay, I didn't think it was okay to be able to do it."
Wan Xianrui quickly stood up to smooth things over: "Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth. Everyone might as well take a step back and take a step back to broaden the sky! President Wu, everyone said, "I ask for a price everywhere, pay it back at the place." Why don't you tell me what you think?"
Wu Qifei said in a deep voice: "Then let's talk about my opinion. Didn't classmate Jiang always worry about bad sales? In this way, we don't count the number of printed books and pay the manuscript fee at one time according to the standard of 1,200 yuan for a thousand words. Because the text works are a little thin, we can refer to the "Love Letter" in a format with pictures and texts. Please provide the photos with classmates. As for how the books are sold after publication, our magazine is fully responsible. Student Jiang does not need to worry about it. Just ask Student Jiang to actively cooperate if necessary."
Wu Zichen laughed and said, "You really dare to think about it! With you so bad-hearted, why are you still working on literary magazines? You just block the road and rob and cheat, wouldn't it be faster to get money?"
Pu Xiaoxiang was also angry and laughed: "President Wu is so humorous. With this stand-up crosstalk just now, you will definitely win a big prize in participating in the National TV Crosstalk Competition!"
