Countercurrent Xiangjiang giants

Chapter 98 09418.00% Royalty
Dong Guozhong let out a long breath, took a few sips of tea from his teacup, and then praised: "Ah Chu, it's wonderful! Really, this novel is definitely more popular than "Jurassic"!
How did your brain grow?Even middle school students are willing to read this kind of novel, and I will arrange for it to be published immediately!By the way, "Forrest Gump" sold well in the United States, not very good, but it sold well in Europe. "

"I understand. Relatively speaking, Europeans prefer to read books, so I will hand over this book to Bo Dong, hoping to sell well."

Lin Chu smiled, and Dong Guozhong patted the table: "Don't worry, it will be fine. If the sales volume of one of this books does not exceed [-], I will give you more!"

"That's really great! But, Dong Bo, my reputation in Xiangjiang is different now, do I have to discuss the royalties?

To tell the truth, Dong Bo, there are other publishers looking for me, but I am a nostalgic person, our royalties need to be mentioned, the level of this novel should be enough, right? "

Lin Chu looked at him. This time he came here in person just to mention the royalties.

Dong Guozhong thought for a while and said: "18.00%! This is the final bottom line, no matter how high it is, it is impossible."

"Deal!" Lin Chu responded.

Dong Guozhong was startled, and then nodded at him: "So you're waiting for me here, that's fine, that's it, let's sign a new contract, I think you can increase the royalties to 18.00% for Hachette, Surely they would agree.

Based on the sales volume of your book, the 5.00% royalty may be hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the bantam side is similar. If you ask, they will not refuse. "

"I think so too! I also have the same plan for Taiwan Crown." Lin Chu laughed.

Dong Guozhong said softly: "By the way, let's have dinner together. Let's drink together. There are many good food stalls here in Tsim Sha Tsui."

"Why don't you go to my place to drink? It's always uncomfortable to drink outside, and no one here drinks liquor. It's always inappropriate for us to drink it. I just moved to a big house, and you haven't been there yet."

Lin Chu responded, and Dong Guozhong nodded: "Let's go. I have a bottle of old Fen wine here. It's very refreshing. I'll drink this today. What do you think?"

"Fenjiu?" Lin Chu was startled, but his heart felt sour.

His father liked to drink Fenjiu very much. At that time, the family conditions were not good, but he still bought more than a dozen boxes when he first got married, and kept it until Lin Chu graduated from university. The two had a hearty drink once.

It was the first time for Lin Chu to drink baijiu, but he still remembered the clear taste. The aroma of the wine permeated the whole room. For him, it was an unforgettable memory.

"What's the matter?" Dong Guozhong was taken aback and glanced at him a few times.

Lin Chu waved his hand: "Uncle Dong, can you order a hundred cases of Fen Bar for me?"

"One hundred cases? No problem, you pay in US dollars, five dollars a bottle, six bottles in a case, a total of [-] bottles, three thousand dollars." Dong Guozhong said seriously.

Lin Chu directly wrote a check and handed it to him, and he put it away and said, "The shipping fee is at your own expense."

"No problem, let's go!" Lin Chu nodded.

Dong Guozhong didn't drive, and went all the way back to the big house in Lin Chu's car.

This is the first time he has come to the big house, he looked at it curiously, and praised: "Ah Chu, this house is really big, and the garden is well-kept, a bit like an English style."

"Dong Bo has a good eye. I bought the house left by a Xiangjiang immigrant to England." Lin Chu smiled and entered the house with him.

Zhao Yazhi was at home, covered in sweat, wearing a small white vest and a pair of shorts, practicing yoga on the third floor, when she heard the sound she leaned her head down, and smiled when she saw the two of them.

"Dong Bo is here, I'll come down after changing clothes." Zhao Yazhi waved her hand.

Dong Guozhong smiled: "Miss Zhao, please be busy, I can drink with Ah Chu."

"Sister Hua, cook some more dishes, Dong Bo and I will drink more tonight." Lin Chu responded, and then changed the subject: "Dong Bo, let's stay here at night, the room is big enough anyway."

Dong Guozhong waved his hand: "No, I don't live far away, just take a taxi back... By the way, I saw Gao Wu just now, and he's been here all this time?"

"He lives with me, saying he wants to protect me...By the way, when will his wife come?" Lin Chu asked.

Dong Guozhong nodded: "It's already being processed, and it should be soon."

The two sat on the sofa while talking. Lin Chu called John first. John was very happy. He had been promoted to the manager of the publishing department because of the popularity of "Jurassic".

"Mr. Lin, your royalties have just been settled, and the next batch is estimated to be next month, but if you are in a hurry, we can settle according to the number of prints first."

John was very generous, and Lin Chu smiled: "I didn't call to ask for the manuscript fee. I wrote a new book and wanted to discuss the royalties with you."

"15.00%, that will never change, we are friends, aren't we, Mr. Lin?" John laughed.

Lin Chu responded, "18.00%!"

"Oh! God, Mr. Lin, you are such a profiteer... This is beyond our bottom line, I can't agree!" John said seriously.

Lin Chu heaved a sigh of relief: "Okay, then I will talk to other publishers."

"Wait! Let's discuss it again. Look, it's okay to let us read your book first? Also, I guarantee that your "Jurassic" will win the Hugo Award, and you will come to the United States to receive it in person Award."

John said seriously, and then changed the topic: "Mr. Lin, let's look at the content first, the royalties are easy to discuss."

"I think so too. Uncle Dong will fax you the relevant content later." Lin Chu replied.

John was taken aback, and then asked, "Mr. Dong is here too? Can I have a few words with him?"

Lin Chu handed the phone to Dong Guozhong, Dong Guozhong answered the phone, the two said a few words, Dong Guozhong kept responding: "It's very exciting... yes, even more exciting than "Jurassic"...

I think this has the potential to be one of the best-selling books in the world, and when we print the first volume and mail it to you... Don't worry, it will be in English. "

"Oh, God, Mr. Dong, you can't do this, you have to fax it to me, I want to see Mr. Lin's manuscript... Please, next time I go to Xiangjiang, I will treat you to roast goose...

That’s right, Yung Kee Roast Goose, I will fight for 18.00% royalties for Mr. Lin, he is already a great writer, this year he should receive the Hugo Award in Hawaii, you can come too. "

John's voice was a little impatient, and he added after finishing speaking: "I can take you to a striptease, how about it?"

"No problem!" Dong Guozhong replied and put down the phone.

Lin Chu smiled, this is also a treacherous person.

　Released three shifts in one breath today, and completed the task!Check to see if the follow-up order is consistent, thank you!

　　In fact, I also want to learn from others to make anti-theft chapters, that is, paste the content of a chapter and revise it later, so that pirated copies can’t be obtained. This is very easy and effective, but I didn’t do it because I didn’t want to automatically subscribe. The brother's sense of experience has deteriorated.
