Chapter 498

498

But Huaxia Bookstore did not give up. In the next two days, they sent people every day!

Of course, Wang Weiguo did not appear again, but sent an ordinary staff member.

Su Qin refused all of them.

The eleven percent royalties have to be exchanged for all his copyrights, and I really think it’s beautiful!

The publishing industry of the empire has always been accustomed to monopolizing and hegemony. It was forgot to have it before, but now it is an era. They still stick to the same style as before. It's ridiculous!

On the third day, Huaxia Bookstore sent someone over again.

But this time, they sent a deputy general manager.

"Mr. Qin, this is the third and last time we have negotiated with you about related business. After today, we will not send anyone."

The deputy general manager immediately took out a threatening gesture as soon as he met Su Qin.

Su Qin smiled and replied indifferently: "If the Huaxia Bookstore has shown enough sincerity, then cooperation is certainly not impossible. Unfortunately, I didn't see your sincerity."

"Mr. Qin, we have given you eleven percent of the royalties, which is unprecedented. You should know that in the empire, the royalties are at most 10 percent. This is a convention and everyone must abide by them!"

Su Qin said sarcastically: "If I remember correctly, this convention is just made by your Huaxia Bookstore itself!"

The two sides parted in disagreement.

After Su Qin refused again, Huaxia Bookstore posted a message on its official website and the scarf: "Tell everyone an unfortunate thing. Su Qin's novel "Bright Sword" will be out of reach for a long time."

The industry was in an uproar in this scarf in China.

"Sisi You Appointment" a few days ago has aroused everyone's appetite, but now, Huaxia Bookstore says that this novel will not be published in the near future!

Who is not surprised?

"Mr. Qin, this Chinese bookstore is too bullying. She even clothed such a scarf without saying hello to us. Mr. Qin, we cannot do nothing. I suggest that we immediately clarify a scarf!"

The velvet flower was very angry, and her fair face turned red with anger.

Su Qin was also a little angry. After thinking about it, he said in person: "Today, a publishing house forced me to make the decision and announced that my novel "Bright Sword" would not be published for the time being. Seeing this scarf, I just want to say, haha!"

hehe?

Seeing these two words, netizens and many industry insiders looked strange!

Haha? What does it mean?

Someone is a tweet of Su Qin, Qin Shao, what do these two words mean?

Su Qin then put on a second scarf again: "A fan asked me just now, what does he mean by haha? Let me give you an example. You worked hard to write a novel and were planning to use this novel to improve your life. Of course, you can also realize your self-worth. But suddenly someone found you and said, "Your novel will be given to me, I will help you publish it. Moreover, other matters of this novel must be fully held to us. I will give you 11% royalty. Don't think it's less. I only give seven or eight points for others. I give you eleven points. I will appreciate you eleven points. You ask why, why are you so harsh? That person smiled. This is the rule. The rules set by me. Why, why are you setting? How come you are not convinced? Okay, then your novel is sorry, you can't meet readers for the time being! We don't publish, and other publishers dare not publish your novel!

At this time, I don’t know what you can say, but I will laugh twice! So, what does hehe mean, you know, right!"

This scarf is not very good, but the industry exploded!

"Fuck! It turns out that Young Master Qin is like us, and he has been exploited by those publishers!"

"I'll just say that Mr. Qin's novel... why can't it be published in a good way?"

"This Huaxia Bookstore... is so dark. They only gave me 6% of the royalties for my book last time, and it took me two years to delay it. I later realized that they had made more than five million in my book!"

Everyone was indignant.

But after calming down, everyone had no choice.

This is the publishing ecology of the empire. What can we do?

Someone replied to Su Qin: "Mr. Qin, forget it, everyone has a great career and a strong background. What if you don't accept it?"

Many people commented below.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, admit defeat. I have a quarrel with these publishers. You are the one who suffers in the end!"

"People are under the eaves, so they have to bow their heads!"

Everyone advised Su Qin to bear it for the time being and make peace with Huaxia Bookstore.

Ai Dong, vice president of the Beijing Writers Association, personally found Su Qin and worked as a peacemaker: "Xiao Su, I have heard of your business, and I was very angry when I saw that agreement, but the ecology of the imperial publishing industry is like this. What can you do? If you don't agree, your book will not be published in the end, so let's bear it, okay? I'll go and tell you for helping you in the Huaxia Bookstore!"

Su Qin smiled bitterly: "Old Ai, but this is a work I have worked hard to write. This is my hard work. They asked for all my copyrights as soon as they came, and only gave eleven percent of the royalties. If it was just published, then forget it, and they could barely agree. But they only gave eleven percent of the copyrights. Isn't this a robber?"

The old man sighed: "Those publishers are just a group of robbers, but what can I do? This is the reality. Not to mention you, it is me, I have to sign with them! What if I don't accept it?"

Su Qin shook his head: "Old Ai, I can't agree. In the past, I was unknown, and if I suffer losses, I would suffer losses. But now, I am a public figure, and I represent the entire group of writers. If I bow my head and admit defeat, I will use me to suppress other writers in the future!"

The old man shook his head repeatedly: "Xiao Su, I'm here to advise you this time to tell you this point. Do you know? In the past two years, many writers have become more and more arrogant about the hegemony in the publishing industry. Everyone wants to resist. Why is China Bookstore so strong now against you? They just want to shoot the birds, and they just want to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. So, if you don't bow your head and don't make up with them, they will be determined to mess with you! Even if you are a star, even if you are a public figure, in front of the group of bookstore owners, let alone you, even the Ministry of Culture has to surrender. What can you do?"
