What should I do if the system forces me to copy books?

The three books were all written by Natto's old authors who opened new books and directly submitted them to her mailbox. In fact, what she didn't tell Li Chungang was that these three books had already been read and they were initially signed.

It's just that at the right time, I let Li Chungang also read it. The main reason is that Natto is still very optimistic about the results of these three novels. This can be regarded as letting others help to evaluate their own vision!

"First of all, from the title of the book and the name of the author, except for the third book which is a little vulgar, the first two books can still catch the readers' attention at a glance. Then let them spend a little money to find a professional artist , making a more refined cover will definitely have a miraculous effect."

Before reading the opening chapter, Li Chungang briefly expressed his opinion based on his first impression.

Because unlike the editor who often reviews manuscripts and is used to fast reading, Li Chungang's reading speed seems to be a bit slow. Fortunately, he did not plan to read the entire [-]-word manuscript, but only read the first five chapters of the first chapter. Chapter is over.

Twenty minutes later...

"Do you want to hear a pertinent evaluation or a general evaluation?" Li Chungang opened his mouth after deliberation.

"Let's be fair!"

"First of all, the third book "Two or Three Things Sadako and I Have to Talk about" is quite satisfactory, so I won't comment much; the setting of "Thriller Playground" is very thoughtful, and the writing style is biased towards Xiaobai. If the new author can If it is stable and does not collapse, the grades should not be bad, but if it collapses, it will be hard to say;

The last "High School of Horror" is really good for me personally!Whether it's novel ideas and designs, or the author's writing skills and overall rhythm control, it seems to be very good at present, and has the potential to become a masterpiece of suspense! "

It has to be said that Li Chungang's evaluation of "High School of Horror" is already very high.Of course, this is his personal idea, and whether it can be implemented in the end depends on factors such as the author himself and the recommendation strength of the website.

The fragrance of wine is also afraid of the deep alley!

No matter how good the content and quality of the novel were, if they failed to get recommended resources, on a large website like Longteng Chinese.com, where over ten thousand new books were stored every day, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Needless to say, the final results.

"Are you also very optimistic about the book "High School of Horror"? This can be regarded as a hero who sees and agrees!"

I don't know if it's because of the luck after signing "Ghost Blowing Lantern", or because some old suspense authors signed "Ghost Blowing Lantern" in her hands, making these authors feel that she has a discerning eye, which led to the works that have been submitted to Natto for a while The quality is called rising with the tide!

The last stop of today's visit to Longteng Chinese website is their sixth floor - the food and beverage department.

The management of Longteng specially hired a chef team of a five-star hotel with a high salary to cook meals for the employees. The chef will provide three different weekly nutritious brunch menus for the whole company starting on Sunday. After the selection, the chef team will follow the menu to avoid food waste!

As long as the employees want, they can find a chef on the sixth floor at any time, enjoy afternoon tea and overtime dinner, etc...

"I kind of want to come to your Long Teng as an editor!"

"Don't, don't, it would be a loss if you become an editor!"

Li Chungang expressed his feelings while enjoying the chef's craftsmanship in a five-star hotel.

It's just that his expressiveness scared Natto a little, and he was afraid that he would stop writing novels because of this, and come to become an editor, so what should he do!

Chapter 47 Mighty?No, I can bend!

"Editor Hua!"

"President Dong, I didn't expect you to come here in person!"

After discussions with Manjinghua Publishing House (in fact, it was the Chairman Dong Sicheng who insisted on going his own way), Dong Sicheng personally brought his assistants to the headquarters of Longteng Chinese Website to sign the publishing contract. The emphasis on "Blowing the Lamp" is regarded as a turning point in its last stand!

Although both parties attach great importance to this publishing signing, they have already reached an agreement on the details of the contract. This time, it is nothing more than sitting down with the author and signing, and the work is basically done, so the scene does not seem to be too big. pomp.

A group of four came to the conference room prepared in advance on the [-]th floor of the headquarters.

Opening the door and looking, as expected, Natto and Li Chungang were already sitting in the conference room one step ahead of time, waiting for their arrival.

When Li Chungang saw the editor-in-chief of Brilliance walking ahead and the three people behind him, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to chat with Natto and stood up to greet him.

Under the introduction of the editor-in-chief of Brilliance, they shook hands with the others lightly, which is a brief acquaintance. One is a member of the legal department of their Longteng Chinese website, and the other two are Dong Sicheng, the chairman of Manjinghua Publishing House. With his assistant Cheng Guanghai.

No bragging, Li Chungang did not expect that Manjinghua Publishing House would be their chairman. Before coming here, he had learned about Manjinghua Publishing House on the Internet. Its comprehensive strength ranks first in China and in the world sixth!

Literary works such as Han Bing's "Sixfold Gate" and "Luoyang Chaos", Shi Chen's mystery novel "The Fragment of Crime", three of the five supreme gods in the Internet literary world have long-term cooperation with Man Jinghua Publishing House, almost every book All novels are published by him.

The writers under the Manjinghua Publishing Company follow a small but refined route, and they are all very influential masters in their respective fields, especially Han Bing, who is known as the representative of the youth literature of the younger generation. A book almost became the number one bestseller in China in the same year!

Looking at the chairman who was not a few years older than himself, Li Chungang thought of the news of the sudden death of the old chairman of Manjinghua Publishing House on the Internet, and suddenly realized.

"I have long admired the name of Manjinghua!"

"Hahaha, you are too polite, I am a die-hard book fan of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". Before I came again, I was curious about what the person who could write such a good work looked like. I didn't expect...it was actually a person younger than me. For the boy."

Before, he had no chance to get in touch with the publishing house, but now that such a big opportunity was in front of him, the thought in Li Chungang's heart became more determined at this moment.

"Does your publishing house have any specific requirements for publishing works?"

Li Chungang's understanding of the publishing industry is only a half-knowledge, and it is still at the surface stage, so he can only learn from Dong Sicheng's mouth.

Dong Sicheng was taken aback by Li Chungang's very sudden question. He was a little taken aback when he was sitting down, but he returned to normal in the next second. After thinking about the other party's intention for asking this question, he still couldn't understand it, so he replied:

"For our publishing house, a normal submission needs only tens of thousands of words at the beginning. If the review editor feels that the publication level has been reached, they can start to discuss the contract and price. After the two parties have reached an agreement on the contract, a formal After the contract, the follow-up draft will be handed over.

Of course, these procedures are for some writers who have not yet been published. Generally, when writers who have cooperated with our publishing house submit another manuscript, there will be another set of relatively simple procedures, such as you! "

"Let's add a WeChat friend later, or you can leave me a contribution mailbox."

"???" People who don't know why will be confused by Li Chungang's sudden actions.

"!!!"

Brilliance Brilliance and Dong Sicheng, who were present at the scene, did not think so. The latter must be very happy at this time. Compared with negotiating publishing matters with Longteng Chinese Network, dealing with the author himself will definitely be more refreshing. If you have the opportunity to skip Longteng and catch up Why not do Li Chungang's boat?

Brilliance's frown has never been relaxed, at least before he figured out Li Chungang's real intentions, he was still a little worried, especially because he was wondering if the other party had no plans to continue posting on the Longteng Chinese website, so Find out the contact information of the publishing house in advance, and find a way out in advance?

Or is it really just a whim...

—

Not to mention the people who have their own thoughts and small calculations, the five people in the conference room officially started today's topic.

Dong Sicheng took a thick contract from his assistant, put it on the table and gently pushed it to Brilliance.

Sometimes rules are rules, no matter how much Dong Sicheng values ​​Li Chungang and wants to win over Li Chungang, at least in the book "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Li Chungang has a contract with Longteng Chinese Network, and they are the object of negotiation with Jinghua Publishing Company It's also the Longteng Chinese website, so the editor-in-chief of Brilliance should read this contract first!

Brilliance didn't waste time looking at the various clauses listed in the contract, but instead focused on the terms they negotiated. As long as Manjinghua Publishing Company didn't mess with these places, the rest would be fine. big problem.

After reading it without doubt, he handed it to the colleague in the legal department beside him, which is why Brilliance brought him here.

Colleagues from the legal department with professional lawyer certificates studied the text in the contract paragraph by paragraph, line by line, and sentence by sentence. It's easy to be negligent.

In business talk business, Dong Sicheng still understands the rigor of Brilliance, or Longteng Chinese website.

This process lasted for nearly an hour, and none of the people present urged them. After finishing their work, the colleagues from the legal department nodded towards Brilliance and confirmed: "There is no problem with the contract!"

The simple six words made smiles appear on the solemn faces of both parties.

Then this contract, which went through four hands, was finally pushed in front of Li Chungang, and at the same time, there was a pen handed over by the editor-in-chief of Brilliance.All eyes are on him, as long as Li Chungang picks up a pen and signs Party A's name on the contract, it will be officially effective!

As for Party B, Dong Sicheng had already stamped the official seal of their Manjinghua Publishing Company on Party B before coming here.

Looking at the contract in front of him, Natto had already explained it to Li Chungang in detail about the benefits he deserved. Li Chungang himself played with words, but he still didn't know much about the words in the contract, but it didn't matter, he was A man with golden fingers.

"System, system! Come out!"

【Follow your orders, master. 】

"Would you look at the contract and find out if there are any problems or tricks in it that are not good for me?"

【Master, I am the Literary Encyclopedia System, not...】

"Ten thousand!"

【Master, it's really not about money...】

"fifty thousand!"

【You are an insult to my system! 】

"One hundred thousand!"

[Come on, the master's request is the highest purpose of our system.Contract scanning...]

[The scan is complete, and a total of one loophole and one condition that is not conducive to the owner were found! 】

"Really!?"

I originally thought that I would send money to buy a safe insurance, thinking that the other party would never harm me, but I didn't realize that there was a problem with the system's scan!

Chapter 48 Signing a Contract

[The second line of the fifth item on the fourth page: ...]

[Part [-], Item [-] on page [-] should perform its obligations, Article [-]...]

Money can turn ghosts... make the system grind, it really is the system that loves money and is stingy, the benefits of advance payment of 10 yuan, as expected, explain the two problems in the contract to Li Chungang in detail clear.

Snapped--

The sound of the pen being placed on the table sounded, and Li Chungang closed the contract in his hand, pushed it lightly towards the center of the table, and said decisively: "I think there are some problems in the content of this contract, so I will not sign it!"

His words caused an uproar in the conference room!

Brilliance and Dong Sicheng's first reaction was to turn their heads to look at the person next to them. The former murmured in his heart that he was afraid that the colleague from the legal department of the company hadn't seen clearly or did it on purpose; The assistant was suspicious.

He personally handed over the contract to the assistant. Now that there is a problem, it is natural to suspect the assistant, wondering whether he was bought by other shareholders and swapped the contract!

"impossible!"

The only professional person present was the colleague from the legal department brought by Brilliance. Zhang Guanghua has worked diligently in the legal department of Longteng for 15 years. The reason for it.

If this contract is indeed as problematic as Li Chungang said, it is not just Zhang Guanghua's dereliction of duty at work, but also a stain on his work history, which is why he reacted so gaffe.

"Brother Chungang, since you said that, you must have discovered something! If you have any problems, you can raise them, and we can fix them on the spot."

"Yes, yes, I think so too!"

"Then I'll just say it straight, what I think is inappropriate is here and here..."

Li Chungang also pointed out the two problems pointed out by the system to them, and at the same time conveyed the analysis of the system to everyone present.

Zhang Guanghua's face became cloudy after Li Chungang pointed out the problem, and then became gloomy after he explained it. It turned out that he really missed the point.

"Editor-in-Chief, I... It's my negligence, I'm sorry!"

"It's okay, no one can live without making mistakes, don't take it to heart."

"Yes, editor-in-chief."

The first problem is easy to solve, and only needs to be revised once. Only the second problem pointed out by Li Chungang made Dong Sicheng a little restless.

"I have no objection to the exclusive publishing right of the book "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but I may not be able to accept the condition of giving priority to publishing my next book. If the effectiveness of your publishing house's publishing books is obvious to all, is there any such condition? You will be given priority, but it cannot be written into the contract because of this."

"Brother Chungang..."

At this time, Brilliance had no choice but to say a few words. At the beginning, he personally agreed to Manjinghua Publishing House for this clause. The most important thing was that he was determined to get Li Chungang's next book to be published on Longteng Chinese Network.

Sometimes the plan can't keep up with the changes. Now the new book has not been written yet, and the invitation of the great god is also stuck. If Li Chungang didn't propose it, Brilliance almost forgot about it.

Faced with Brilliance's attitude of wanting to explain, Li Chungang shook his head and interrupted: "I have no objections to other places, except this one."

The meaning is already obvious. Manjinghua Publishing Company has only two ways to go, one is to give up publishing "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and the other is to modify this requirement in the contract.

The question is, is Dong Sicheng willing to give up "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"?Certainly not willing!

And he is also confident, relying on the strength of their domestic first publishing company in publicity and distribution channels, the other party will naturally be more willing to cooperate with them after seeing it.

"No problem! Other conditions remain the same, this item can also be deleted, as long as you are satisfied with Mr. Li!"

Dong Sicheng took the lead in making a concession. Since he couldn't refuse, he might as well appear more generous, at least he could gain some good impression points from Li Chungang's side.

"Old Zhang, I leave it to you."

Holding the old contract, Zhang Guanghua trotted out of the conference room. This rare opportunity to make up for his mistakes cannot be delayed.

In less than 5 minutes, the white shirt on the chest can clearly see the traces of sweat. It is estimated that Zhang Guanghua has nothing to do except in the elevator. Such an exaggeration.

After receiving the paper that still had Yu Wen's contract that had just been printed out, Brilliance took the old and new contracts and compared them word by word to ensure that there were no mistakes in other places except for the two revised ones before handing it over to him with confidence. Dong Sicheng.

Out of caution, Dong Sicheng performed the same action, and after finally confirming that it was correct, he took a pen and signed his name on Party B.

The last one was Li Chungang. Looking at the revised contract according to his own wishes, he also compared the old and the new. After confirming that it was correct, he wrote "Li Chungang" behind the final party A, and added the author's pen name "" Zhichun Zhigang" four characters.

With the 0.5 water-based pen being put down, Brilliance and Dong Sicheng's heart that has been carrying it has also been put down safely, and they silently breathed a sigh of relief.

The entire contract is made in triplicate, and each of the three parties will keep one copy.

The publishing signing of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has been successfully concluded here. Of course, the signing is over, and the next will be the real busy time, but the busy one is that Longteng Chinese Network and Manjinghua Publishing Company cooperate with each other to promote and distribute , there is nothing about the author himself.
