Chapter 74 Sahara Online Bookstore? (44, add more updates for the rudder master Ninth World Y Reincarnation)

After sending Murphy away, Yang Yi welcomed a new guest the next day.

Qiyue's deputy manager of the copyright department, and the managers of several publishing houses he accompanied came to Yang Yi's coffee shop. This time, Yang Yi didn't invite them to drink the best coffee again. For example, the Blue Mountains and Mandheling that he had kept in his collection were all put away. The simple mocha mixed with milk and sugar cubes was praised.

Obviously, there's a lot of flattery!

Yang Yi smiled without saying a word, secretly rejoicing in his heart.

When it comes to negotiation, Yang Yi is not a good hand, and his best helper Guo Ziyi, although this little fat guy has already passed the college entrance examination, he gave Yang Yi a phone call with a smile, and went on a graduation tour with his classmates. Naturally, it is impossible to count on it.

However, although Yang Yi doesn't know how to negotiate, he brought a magical skill from his previous life - pretending! Moreover, he pretended to be what he was. At the beginning of the negotiation, he put on a confident look, and asked several publishing houses to show him the conditions they had drawn up in the form of hidden bids.

I hope we can all be frank. I will choose the final publisher according to your conditions, and then conduct detailed discussions to avoid wasting everyone's time! Yang Yi finally said with a smile.

The managers of the publishing house looked at each other in dismay. It was the first time they met an author who played such a card!

Manager Huang, is there something wrong with this? one of the managers couldn't help but ask the people who read it.

I don't think so! Another manager also agreed.

The deputy manager Huang of the copyright department of Qiyu shook his head with a wry smile, and said, I think it's OK... ahem, it's like this, because we have negotiated with Mr. Yang Yi, on the issue of physical publishing copyright transactions, he The final decision is reserved, so let's talk about it according to Mr. Yang Yi's request...

Everyone can think about it, if you don't want to participate in this bidding, it doesn't matter, we can't make a deal, and the friendship is still there! Yang Yi also looked like he didn't let go.

He doesn't know what conditions the other party can give, but Yang Yi believes that his book, whether it is Soldier Assault or Bright Sword, as long as it comes out in real, it will definitely sell well!

This was tested by the market in the previous life!

In the era of rampant piracy, Bright Sword published in the new century can still sell more than 400,000 copies within six or seven years, which shows how valuable it is!

In this copyright-conscious world, Yang Yi can already foresee the prospect of his two so-called online novels, the sales of physical books will skyrocket.

So I have the confidence to negotiate without fear of others overturning the table!

Sure enough, after the managers of several publishing houses looked at each other, the one who shouted the most took up the paper and pen first, and the others rushed up, almost scrambling for it.

There is no need to say much about the selection process of this hidden bid. In the end, Yang Yi picked up an envelope, like a stock exchange broker, and said loudly: Sahara Press, Mr. Lu, congratulations, we can discuss in more detail next. It's gone!

A thin man with messy hair stood up in surprise, raised his hand and said, I, I am Mr. Lu!

But Yang Yi's choice caused an uproar in the audience, including Qiyue's deputy manager Huang.

Did you make a mistake? The manager who had been shouting the most just now jumped out again, and he exclaimed angrily, What conditions did Sahara give you? I don't believe it, just a small publishing house like them. The conditions are as good as those of our big publishing houses!

This, I'm sorry, it's not convenient to tell you. Yang Yi smiled and refused.

Deputy Manager Huang couldn't help standing up, and he said, Mr. Yang Yi, although it is not suitable for me to intervene at this time, should you think about it again? In terms of scale, Sahara is indeed smaller than the other three. Even if the conditions for you are better at present, in the long run, the benefits it gives you from sales are hard to compare with the other three!

That's right, this is too short-sighted! The other three managers all echoed.

The thin Mr. Lu actually had no hope of seeing the other three competitors, but now that he was chosen, he seemed as happy as he had won the lottery!

But now that the deputy manager Huang and others said that, he became nervous again, for fear that the duck next to his mouth would fly again, he quickly said: Although our publishing house is not large, we are very sincere. Mr. Yang, we can talk about the conditions just written!

Yang Yi raised his hand and calmed them down, he said lightly: Actually, the reason why I chose Sahara is not only that the conditions they gave were sincere, but also a very important factor is that they have other There are advantages that the three companies do not have.”

This time, everyone is stunned. Isn't it said that Sahara is smaller than the other three?

What? the one who cried the most couldn't help asking.

Sahara has one more channel for online sales of physical books than you guys, Yang Yi said lightly.

In fact, Yang Yi is not calm, because the online shopping mode in this world is only a small sign, and there is no big website like Taobao in the previous life.

The foresight of Sahara Publishing House was somewhat surprising to Yang Yi. Their boss set up a website to sell physical books online. Readers can pay for books by registered mail or bank remittance, and then send the books to readers through the library. .

This model is very similar to Yang Yi's earliest excellent, 99 and Dangdang in his previous life!

It can be said that it is the prototype of the online bookstore!

What's the difference between this and online novels? Haha, with such online sales, you won't be able to sell a few copies a month, and readers have to bother to mail the book fees. It's not as good as us. Our family is connected with several large chain bookstores in the Far East and China. It's related... There are always people who are still stuck in the outdated thinking mode, they laugh at Yang Yi's choice.

But Yang Yi's choice did not change, he calmly said sorry to the other party.

In the end, only Yang Yi and Mr. Lu were left in the coffee shop. Everyone else left the stage angrily, even Deputy Manager Huang smiled wryly, bowed his hands to Yang Yi, and then chased after him.

Deputy Manager Huang felt that the profits from physical sales of Yang Yi's books were innocuous, but he had to deal with these publishers. After all, online literature is still only a weak side. The publishing house has a lot of resources, and there are many more to read. Need to cooperate with each other!

Then, we... Mr. Lu with messy hair was a little embarrassed and said nervously, not daring to touch the new coffee that Yang Yi brought him.

Then let's talk about it, what are the conditions for me to buy shares in your publishing house! Yang Yi waved his hand and smiled slightly.

This momentum, suddenly frightened Mr. Lu.

I don't know how Mr. Lu would feel if he learned that Yang Yi's deposit was actually less than a few hundred thousand, but he still wanted to invest in someone else's publishing house so aggressively...

Some book friends mentioned Pangu in the book review area, this is Xiaohan's idol! The first book was influenced by him, and I liked to see where my father went, and then I embarked on the road of writing a father-in-law! The original title of My Fairy Lady was My Angel, My Baby, which to a certain extent paid tribute to the old book of the great god Pangu. But at that time, the editor asked Xiaohan to change his name before signing the contract, so he changed it to My Fairy Miss. I always feel that I still like the old name, haha~
