Chapter 497 "Bright Sword" is about to be published
497
Seeing the netizens' comments, Su Qin finally showed a smile on his face.
Finally, it successfully aroused everyone's appetite!
Finally, he attracted the attention of netizens.
But the few words he said in "Sisi You Appointment" attracted not only fans, but also others!
Just the next day after the show was aired, he came to Su Qin Culture early in the morning. The velvet flower knocked on his door and said, "Mr. Qin, there is someone who wants to see you, this is his business card."
Su Qin took the business card and looked at it, but it was Wang Weiguo, general manager of Huaxia Bookstore.
Huaxia Bookstore is the largest publishing group in the empire, with five or six publishing houses under its umbrella, and countless chain bookstores. It is no exaggeration to say that Huaxia Bookstore is an aircraft carrier in the empire publishing industry.
"Please ask him to the reception room, I'll go there right away."
"Okay, Mr. Qin."
After a while, Su Qin walked into the reception room.
Sitting inside was a man in his fifties, with a small flat head and a height of about 1.9 meters.
He crossed his legs, his eyes a little condescending, and at first glance he was used to being a leader, and his momentum penetrated into every detail of life.
But it is understandable to think about it. As the largest textbook publisher in the empire, Huaxia Bookstore almost monopolized the textbook market from elementary school to university, and its behavioral habits are naturally high.
Fortunately, he was quite polite to Su Qin.
"Hello, Mr. Qin, I am Wang Weiguo, general manager of Huaxia Bookstore."
Seeing Su Qin coming in, Wang Weiguo quickly stood up.
"Hello, Manager Wang."
The two of them chatted endlessly while drinking tea. After about four or five minutes, Wang Weiguo looked at Su Qin with a smile and said, "Mr. Qin, I watched your program on "Si Si You Appointment" last night. At the end of the program, you said that you seemed to be writing a book."
"Yes."
"Mr. Qin, can you briefly introduce this book?"
Su Qin nodded: "Okay, my book is a novel, about 200,000 words, it is a military-themed novel, and its name is "Bright Sword".
Draw the sword?
Wang Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Qin, I am a straightforward person. I am not right. Please forgive me. To be honest, I think the title of "Bright Sword" is not very good, at least it does not have the desire to buy it..."
Wang Weiguo talked freely, discussing it one by one from the aspects of being an editor and bookstore management. The conclusion is that the title of "Bright Sword" is really bad.
Su Qin smiled and said nothing, but nodded from time to time in the middle, saying that he was listening.
Even if the title of Liang Jian is not good, he doesn't plan to modify it. This is his memory of the earth. No matter how bad it is, it is a precious thing. What's more, he actually does not agree with Wang Weiguo's opinion. He actually thinks this name is very good. If you draw a sword and a sword, you must dare to draw a sword when the two armies meet!
Wang Weiguo talked freely and then got to the point: "Mr. Qin, how about you handing this book over to our Huaxia Bookstore for publication?"
"Leave it to you to publish?" Su Qin was stunned.
To be honest, what he is considering these two days is the publication and production of this book.
As the largest publishing and bookstore chain enterprise in the country, Huaxia Bookstore is naturally the choice.
"I think Mr. Qin should know the advantages of our Huaxia Bookstore. I won't say much about it here. I came here today to ask Mr. Qin to give this novel full rights to our agent. Where is our Huaxia Bookstore? How about giving you 11% of the royalties?"
After Wang Weiguo finished speaking, he was not in a hurry. He drank tea leisurely, smiled faintly, and waited quietly.
It seems that Su Qin can only choose him today!
Although his attitude was a bit arrogant and not as humble as some people were to Su Qin, to be honest, Su Qin really didn't care much about this.
What he cares about is that Huaxia Bookstore wants to be fully agented.
Of course, for Huaxia Bookstore, this is just a convention. Anyone who wants to publish a book on him must do this!
Moreover, they usually only give 7 to 10% royalties, so today they raise the royalties to 11%, which really gives him Su Qintian a great face!
Wang Weiguo waited for dozens of seconds, but saw that Su Qin did not answer, so he took out an agreement from his bag: "If Mr. Qin doesn't trust me very much, he can take a look at this agreement first, and every clause in it is well written."
Su Qin took over the agreement and took a look.
It would be fine if he didn't read it, but after reading it, his heart sank.
Although Wang Weiguo raised the royalty to 11%, he added many clauses to the agreement, such as electronic copyrights, and film and television adaptations, they should give priority.
How is this possible!
Su Qin would never agree.
So, Su Qin simply refused: "Manager Wang, if you only need my physical book to be published, then I can sign it with you, but if you have to add other conditions, then... that would be really embarrassing."
Um?
Wang Weiguo was stunned for a moment, his brows frowned, and the smile on his face disappeared.
The guy's face darkened, and the power of the official body suddenly scattered, which really puts a strong pressure on people.
Unfortunately, this trick can't do anything to Su Qin.
"Compet with me for his authority?"
Su Qin was secretly funny.
After pondering for a while, Wang Weiguodao said: "Mr. Qin, although our conditions are a bit harsh, there is one thing you need to understand. We are the largest publishing house and bookstore chain in the empire. It is no exaggeration to say that forty percent of the bookstores in the country belong to us. Moreover, our network resources are very strong. If you hand over this book to us for publication, we will also help you promote it to the world through our resources, and you can even directly recommend it to the Ministry of Culture to participate in various selections."
But Su Qin still refused: "Sorry, Manager Wang, I can't agree to your conditions."
"..." Wang Weiguo opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say a word. He just stood up and stretched out his hand to squeeze Su Qin: "Since that's the case, then don't disturb Mr. Qin!"
"Xiao Na, let me see Manager Wang." Su Qin glanced at the velvet flower.
"Manager Wang, please!" The velvet flower smiled and led the way in front.
Just as he was about to leave, Wang Weiguo turned around and looked at Su Qin with a smile: "Mr. Qin, I suggest you think about it again. You should know that our Huaxia Bookstore has a great influence in the empire."
He bites very hard.
Su Qin smiled.
This Wang Weiguo is really good!
This is actually a threat!
Chapter completed!
