At 8 o'clock in the morning, Chen Lao was sent to school and told her not to run around at night.

Then he received a call from Wang Zan and asked him to contact his friend in the publishing house. When the phone was connected, a very calm voice came from the other side: Hello, who?

Hello, I am Li Yi, you are Zhang Han and Brother Zhang. I heard from Wang Zan Wang that you have something to ask me for? Li Yi greeted politely

Oh, Li Yi, I called me so soon. I just heard Wang Zan praise you for writing a good novel. Are you free now? Come to me and let’s discuss the specific matters. Zhang Han said

I'm free now, where are you now? I'll go there right away

Then come to our publishing house, No. XX Road, XX, I am in Room 704, 7th floor

OK, then wait, I am not far from here and there, I will arrive in 20 minutes. Li Yi said with ease

That's it, I'll wait for you. Zhang Han replied

Then I'll die first, I'll go there now and see you back.

Li Yi hung up the phone and started the car. BMW's performance was good and it quickly started

20 minutes later, Li Yi walked into the building where Peking University Press was located, registered with the front desk girl, and headed straight to Zhang Han's office.

When he arrived at the seventh floor, Li Yi looked around and saw that it was amazing, because of the upright working hours, employees came and went. The younger sister who worked in such a large company was so elegant, with a unified uniform, a cold cheek, and a serious smile, which made people dare not look directly at him.

Of course, he knew that he was not here to admire the beauty, so he found Zhang Han's office and knocked on the door

Please come in! The voice of a middle-aged man came from inside

Li Yi pushed open the door and walked in

I saw a man in his forties looking down at the document behind the desk in the office. He was wearing a black suit, thin, thin, and a pair of frameless glasses. He looked gentle. After hearing the footsteps, he raised his head.

It's Li Yi, please sit down. Zhang Han called Li Yi and sat down. After pouring him a glass of water, he said: Why do you think about finding Xuele Publishing House to publish your novel? Our Peking University Publishing House is also good.

I have a novel that I want to publish an English version, so I think it's better to learn Le. Li Yi confessed directly and readily that when he was on the phone with Wang Zan, Wang Zan told him and told Zhang Han about his situation, otherwise such things would be difficult to talk about. After all, Xuele Publishing House and Peking University Press are competitors.

Oh, I heard Wang Zan talk about it. It seems to be a fairy tale. Since you persist, then forget it. When you have a new novel in the future, you have to find our publishing house Ah

Zhang Han did not take Li Yi's fairy tales seriously, there were too many reading materials of this type; "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is an online novel after all, and for Peking University Press, there are very few online novels published.

The two of them chatted for a while, and Zhang Han went straight to the topic. He said: I know your situation. Although I don’t know what price Xuele gives you, it will definitely not satisfy you. I will give you a blank signing agreement, and leave the specific price space free. When you go back, fill it out according to the actual situation. When you and Xuele Publishing House are negotiating, you will directly take out the agreement for them to see.

It's best, thank you so much. Li Yi is very happy. Unexpectedly, Zhang Han came up with such a good idea.

Zhang Han took out an agreement from the table and handed it to Li Yi, and joked: Well, you're welcome, Wang Zan and I are very familiar with you. I often hear him praise you for your good novels and that's it. My daughter is your novel fan. When you publish your novel, remember to give me a signed version.

That is nature, that is nature. Li Yi is good at doing good and has a great impression of Zhang Han who helped him.

Then the two chatted for a few more words before Li Yi left Zhang Han's office

On Thursday afternoon, the elegant room of Yuelai Inn ‘Furong Pavilion’

Ren Feifei stirred up the purple clay teapot in her hand. A hot tea soup poured down from the mouth of the pot, and it was poured into the celadon small tea bowl with the fragrance of the tea leaves. Li Yi, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but feel refreshed. At this time, Ren Feifei lost her last moment of strength. She had a white round neck shirt with a yellow casual jacket, a white seven-quarter skirt, a pointed melon-shaped face, a pink and tender, Emei was swept, and her small gold-rimmed glasses covered her watery eyes. In the quiet tea ceremony performance, she had a very intellectual beauty.

Unexpectedly, Miss Ren is still a master of tea ceremony, so she is really disrespectful. Li Yi looked at Ren Feifei making tea and said sincerely

Ren Feifei handed the small celadon bowl to Li Yi, poured a cup of it himself, sipped the tea slightly, and said: These are all hobbies, not worth mentioning, Mr. Li Yi, have you thought about it? Do you want to sign a contract with our Xuele Publishing House?

Li Yi also drank a sip of tea. The hot tea was filled with the fragrance of jasmine flowers, and the faint bitterness was sweet aftertaste. He sighed with pleasure and said: Good tea!

Putting down the tea bowl, he smiled and looked at Ren Feifei and said: Miss Ren gave her the conditions last time, very insincere!

Last time Ren Feifei completely regarded Li Yi as a teenager who knew nothing. Although he felt that he was not as ignorant as other teenagers, he still did not put him on an equal position in his subtle sense. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Li Yi was like a middle-aged man who was sophisticated.

This time she is not showing strong performance, and she tries to make herself look gentle as much as possible in dressing and makeup. After all, 18 or 19 years old mostly likes this type of women.

She smiled slightly and said gently: Last time it was our editor-in-chief who gave me the contract conditions, but I didn’t mean to make things difficult for you. This time, if you have any requirements, I will try my best to satisfy you.

Li Yi looked at Ren Feifei's delicate face and gentle smile, and his heart couldn't help but feel aroused, but now is not the time to appreciate the beauty. He said: Peking University Press also contacted me the day before yesterday. They offered 50 yuan, 10% of the copyright share, three years of signing, and I don't know what the conditions of Xuele Publishing House are like? He took out the agreement given by Zhang Han from the file and handed it to Ren Feifei.

Ren Feifei took the contract and looked at it briefly. When she saw that the signing price column was the same as what Li Yi said, she obviously frowned. She didn't know that this was a double act played by Li Yi and Zhang Han. This agreement completely disrupted her original idea. According to her opinion, 50 yuan/100 characters include traditional Chinese version, and the copyright layering of 8% is the upper limit.

She thought about it, then said sorry to Li Yi, picked up her phone and walked out of the private room.

Li Yi sat peacefully in the room and savored tea. He was not in a hurry to know that "Ghost Blows Out the Light" sold 200,000 copies in his previous life, but it was very popular. If Xuele Publishing House really disagrees with his offer, he could go to other publishers. If it weren't for publishing the English version of "Dark Fairy Tales", he wouldn't have been tangled with Ren Feifei here.

Five minutes later, Ren Feifei called back. She sat in the seat, stood upright, staring at Li Yi with her eyes, and said strongly: Our Xuele Publishing House can offer 80 yuan/1,000 words plus 10% copyright share, five years, including traditional and simplified versions.

Li Yi smiled, without caring about Ren Feifei's aggressiveness, and took a sip of the tea ceremony: The simplified Chinese version of Peking University Press is close to this price. I think Xuele Press is still not sincere. Forget it, I'd better find another publisher. As he said that, Li Yi stood up, picked up the briefcase and pretended to leave.

Ren Feifei was a little anxious. She had already received the leader's death order and asked her to sign "Ghost Blows Out the Light". The leader said that this novel has great value and will be of great help to expand China's channels. She quickly stopped Li Yi. Chuchucao said in a sweet voice: Don't rush to leave Ah first. Just ask if you have any requirements. There is also a bargaining for buying vegetables. If you do this, it will be difficult for me to explain to the leader when I go back.

Li Yi looked at Ren Feifei's delicate expression and felt a warm heart. The cock between his legs had a tendency to raise his head. In fact, he pretended to leave, just to increase his weight. Since he had achieved his goal, he naturally sat back with a smile and said: Miss Ren...

Call me Feifei Ren Feifei interrupted

OK, Feifei, if the simplified and traditional version is together, then 100 yuan/100 characters plus 12% copyright share, three-year agreement, what do you think? Li Yi is doing well and puts forward his own conditions with great qualities.

Impossible, Mr. Li Yi, up to 90 yuan/1,000 words plus 11% copyright layering, this is my bottom line. If you don’t agree to the five-year appointment, you can go to another publishing house. Li Feifei feels gritted her teeth about Li Yi’s conditions, but she must be patient and tell her bottom line directly. If Li Yi still disagrees with this, she can explain to her leader when she goes back.

Li Yi pretended to think about it, then smiled and said: I wonder how my book "Dark Fairy Tale" is like? Can it be published in English?

Through research, we can help you publish your novel in English. However, your collection of novels is relatively long. We hope to publish the first two stories "Maleficent Curse" and "The Winter War". The following few articles will be determined by the publication and sales. After all, fairy tales written by Chinese people are rarely published in Europe and the United States, and we will give you up to 10% of the copyright layering

Li Yi thought about it and said that in fact, the publication of "Dark Fairy Tales" is not for the sake of the little royalties. The sale of film and television copyright is the top priority. He nodded and said: OK, just follow what you said. These two stories are a novel. The following stories will be discussed later. They will not be included in the contract.

Well, then we can sign the contract directly. Right, I have something to tell you. If you want to publish an English version, you need to provide an English version of the novel. The publishing of English novels requires North American companies to operate. They cannot review it without an English version. Ren Feifei heard that Li Yi agreed to the conditions and couldn't help but breathe. Finally convinced the difficult man. But when she remembered the requirements of the English version, she quickly told Li Yi, and at the same time she felt like she was hitting a drum, hoping that there would be no more changes.

Sure enough, when I heard the novel that needed an English version, Li Yi frowned. He thought for a while and said: OK, let's do it. Then I will give you the first two stories of the English version of "Dark Fairy Tales".

Ren Feifei finally put down all the pressure. She took out two blank contracts from the file bag and handed them to Li Yi, and said happily: Then we can sign the contract, Mr. Li Yi, please check the terms of the contract and see if there is still something to correct. If not, we will go to the company to sign the contract.

Li Yi picked up two contracts, and after a little browsing, the contracts were both Chinese and English. Where did he know what English? He dropped out of high school in this life, and graduated from pheasant college in his previous life. He didn't even have a CET-4 certificate and put down his contract and said: I need to read the contract to a lawyer before I can give you a reply. This way, I will go to your publishing house to sign the contract next Monday.

Ren Feifei also knew that the contract would take time to sign, so she nodded and agreed: OK, Mr. Li Yi, see you next Monday

Yes, but don't call me Mr. Li Yi, just call me Li Yi or A Yi. Li Yi said

Ren Feifei blinked and stared at Li Yi for a few seconds before saying: OK, Ayi, let's get here today, 88 As she said that, she stood up and shook hands with Li Yi.
