"I listen to Master Zeng for everything."

Chapter 10 Double Happiness

In the tea restaurant downstairs of the police station, all members of team 1 are here to welcome Su Lehui to join.

"Today's afternoon tea is my treat. Let's welcome Hui Zai to join us." Master Zeng held up the lemon in his hand and said tea.

Hou Zi, Big Eyed Lu, A Wang, and A Ying who just came back raised their glasses together and said: "Welcome Hui Zai, thank you Zeng Ye."

After taking a sip of tea, Master Zeng picked up a piece of egg tart and began to introduce the situation of CID to Su Lehui.

"Our CID department in Kowloon has a total of 12 teams. All things are reported directly to Uncle Biao by our captains."

After hearing these words, Su Lehui asked: "Then, how are cases usually divided?"

"Unless it is a collective action or appointed by Uncle Biao, the general cases are handled by themselves." Big Eyed Lu added.

Su Lehui was full of confusion: "Can you handle the case by yourself?"

Awang smiled and said, "Did you notice the blackboard in the office when you came in?"

Su Lehui thought for a while, and it seemed that there was indeed such a blackboard: "I saw it, but I didn't pay much attention to the content on it."

"The contents on the blackboard are all cases that need to be solved. If each team thinks they can solve it, they can choose which case to solve." Monkey said.

Su Lehui was stunned: "Then if any team is lazy, wouldn't they be able to keep doing nothing?"

"Haha," Master Zeng laughed, "How could that old cunning Uncle Biao not have thought of this! If any team fails to complete enough tasks, then the team's bonus for this year will be forfeited. If it is overfulfilled, the bonus will not Less. Of course, if you encounter a mission that needs to be executed for a long time, that’s another story.”

There are 12 teams in the CID Department. According to previous years, each team has to complete 6 cases.

If you are unlucky and there are not so many cases in that year, you can only rely on robbery.If you can't grab it, then this year's bonus will be wasted.

Thinking of this, Su Lehui had to praise Uncle Biao's ability. Although he likes to flatter, he definitely has the ability.

"Then how many cases have we completed this year?" Su Lehui asked.

Hearing this, Ah Ying raised two fingers: "Two of them have been resolved."

Hearing this answer, Su Lehui couldn't help but nodded, this efficiency is still acceptable.

"By the way, Huizi, I have something to remind you," Master Zeng said suddenly, "Although we and the other teams are competitors, we are also partners. Therefore, even if there is any conflict, we can't play tricks."

"Don't worry, Master Zeng, I'm not that kind of person." Su Lehui doesn't like to do tricks behind his back, he despises such people the most.

Master Zeng patted Su Lehui on the shoulder: "I can tell from your face that you are not such a person, but sometimes you need to be careful with your colleagues."

Su Lehui naturally understood what Master Zeng meant. The black sheep in the police force cannot be eliminated easily.

"I know, Master Zeng." Su Lehui nodded, indicating that he knew.

Drop drop, drop drop!

At this moment, the caller that Su Lehui had almost forgotten suddenly rang.

"Master Zeng, I'll make a phone call." Su Lehui said.

Master Zeng pointed to the phone on the cashier counter of the restaurant and said, "Go, it's there."

After thanking him, Su Lehui made a phone call and returned to his seat.

"What, what's the matter?" Seeing Su Lehui's thoughtful expression after returning, Master Zeng asked casually.

"It's nothing serious. I'll do it after I have a few days off."

The call was from the newspaper office. The current novel he had submitted before had passed the review, and the call now was to inform him that he could bring the rest to sign the contract at any time.

It's just that he just joined CID, so it's not good to ask for leave now, so Su Lehui can only wait for next week's rotation to do this.

After finishing the last egg tart, Master Zeng clapped his hands: "Okay, the afternoon tea time is over. Huizi, go and complete the job transfer procedures first, and leave work after completing the procedures. Come back tomorrow to report, and then Follow Aying to do things."

In fact, Su Lehui's formalities are almost done, Master Zeng is taking care of him and giving him half a day off.

"Thank you Master Zeng," Su Lehui said happily, "I will report on time tomorrow."

Grandpa Zeng laughed: "We are all our own people, so we can just say anything in the future, so you are welcome."

Su Lehui nodded heavily: "Yes, I will."

"Okay, let's get busy. Let's go." Standing up and patting Su Lehui on the shoulder, Master Zeng and the others left together.

Afternoon~

After completing the formalities, Su Lehui rushed to the headquarters of the largest newspaper "Hong Kong Island Daily" on Hong Kong Island without stopping.

"I'm Su Lehui, and I have an appointment with your editor-in-chief Zhong."

After entering the newspaper office, Su Lehui went directly to the front desk and explained his intentions.

After looking through the appointment record, the receptionist at the front desk smiled and said, "Mr. Su, please, the editor-in-chief will be here soon."

He brought Su Lehui to a small conference room, and the receptionist poured him a cup of tea before leaving.

Before Su Lehui's tea was cold, a gentle middle-aged man in a suit and glasses walked in.

Seeing the person's Mediterranean hairstyle, Su Lehui knew that this must be the editor-in-chief Zhong.

"Mr. Su is really younger than I expected. I thought that the one who could write a novel like "The Sword of the Yue Girl" would be a great writer like me."

As soon as Editor-in-Chief Zhong walked in, he exclaimed in admiration.

Su Lehui stood up, smiled slightly and said, "Editor Zhong was joking."

"I'm not joking," Editor-in-Chief Zhong said, "A novel like "The Sword of the Yue Girl" that combines history and is mixed with love and hatred, if you don't have rich experience, you may not be able to write it."

Speaking of this, Editor-in-Chief Zhong said solemnly: "It may be presumptuous! Mr. Su, did you really write "The Sword of Yue Nv"?"

After saying this, the editor-in-chief Zhong added: "I have no other intentions! You also understand that many people are watching our newspaper's every move. So I have to investigate some things clearly."

Su Lehui understood the other party's concerns. After all, for such a large newspaper, if the novels published were found to be plagiarized by others, then the newspaper would basically be ruined.

After all, the general public buys the newspapers of the newspaper because of its reputation. Once the reputation is gone, the newspaper is basically destroyed.

"You can completely worry about the editor-in-chief at this point, I am indeed the one who wrote this novel." Su Lehui took out a manuscript from his bag while talking.

Before coming to the newspaper office, Su Lehui returned home with not only the back part of "The Sword of the Yue Girl", but also "The White Horse Roaring the West Wind" which he had just created (copied) not long ago.

This is also a short martial arts novel written by Jin Yong, with a total of about 7w words.

For this novel, Su Lehui spent another 50 justice points.

Fortunately, Su Lehui's killing and arresting the gangster brought him 400 points of income, otherwise his pocket would have been empty.

In addition, according to the prices in the system mall, Su Lehui found that the novels exchanged from the system are graded according to the number of words.

1w-2w word is 20 points.

2w-10w word is 50 points.

For more than 10 characters, exchange is based on 1 point per thousand characters, rounded up and down.

In other words, if you want to exchange for a million-word novel in the future, you can basically change the required justice value for a skill.

""White Horse Roaring West Wind"?"

Editor-in-chief Zhong first read the title of the book on the first page of the manuscript, and then flipped through the content of the novel.

The 7.8-word novel was not long, so Editor-in-Chief Zhong glanced at it and put down the manuscript.

"Mr. Su, I am deeply sorry for my previous suspicions. "The Sword of the Yue Girl" and "The White Horse Roaring to the West Wind" are obviously of the same style, which means that these two novels are written by the same person." Chief Editor Zhong bowed his head slightly, expressing his apology .

Seeing the other party's appearance, Su Lehui waved his hands in embarrassment: "It's okay, it's okay."

"Thank you, Mr. Su, for your understanding! Now that we can confirm that the novel was written by Mr. Su himself, we can sign the contract." Editor-in-Chief Zhong said.

Hearing that it was finally down to business, Su Lehui also became serious: "Then, what are your plans?"

"Generally, newcomers submit manuscripts, we give 500 words per thousand words, and 5% of the publishing royalties. If a second novel is selected, it is 600 words per thousand words, 6% of the publishing royalties, and the third novel is 700 words." 7 words, 1500% royalties. By analogy, up to 15 words, [-]% royalties capped.”

At this point, Editor-in-Chief Zhong pushed his glasses: "Even if I apologize for my doubts before, I can make the decision. Both novels can be calculated at 600 words per thousand words and 6% royalties. Mr. Su, what do you think?"

Chapter 11 Manuscript Fees

"Editor Zhong, you really have a good plan."

Su Lehui smiled, he didn't expect that the other party seemed to behave generously and speak elegantly, but he was so bad.

If Su Lehui agrees, it means that the two novels will be sold to each other.This is not in his interest at all.

Su Lehui's idea was to use "The Sword of Yue Nv" to make a name for himself, and then throw some other short stories up for sale.

The price at that time will certainly not be what it is now.

Editor-in-Chief Zhong looked at Su Lehui and smiled: "Mr. Su is really smart, you saw through it. Then, why don't you make a price!"

Editor-in-Chief Zhong decided to let Su Lehui make an offer.

Su Lehui thought for a while, and put forward his own idea: "The manuscript fee starts directly at the level of 900 thousand words. If you agree, I can provide a short story of 5 words and a novel of 20 words."

"700 files of [-] characters. In the future, all your novels, Mr. Su, should give priority to us."

"There are 800 files of [-] characters. I'm adding a novel. There is no priority." Su Lehui bargained.

"Thousand words 1000, plus priority."

Editor-in-Chief Zhong was uneasy about playing cards, and suddenly raised the price himself.

".....make a deal!"

In fact, Su Lehui didn't want to add this priority, because it means that his novels must be despised by the other party in the future before they can be sold to others.

But if the other party is interested, Su Lehui can only renegotiate the price with the other party no matter how high the bids from other newspapers are.

It can be said that it is time-consuming, labor-intensive and brain-intensive.

But Su Lehui couldn't refuse the price offered by the other party, because he was really short of money.

"The Sword of the Yue Girl" and "White Horse Roaring to the West Wind" have a total of more than 10 words. According to the agreement, Su Lehui can get 10 manuscript fees and 10% and 11% royalties.

This money is enough for Su Lehui to squander for a while.

Editor-in-Chief Zhong laughed, and stretched out his hand, "Happy cooperation! Don't worry, Mr. Su, Hong Kong News is not the kind of company where big shops bully the boss. We are very sincere."

"Then, let's wait and see."

In fact, Su Lehui was still very optimistic about the Hong Kong newspaper. The other party was clearly the largest newspaper on Hong Kong Island, but he didn't give people a feeling of domineering.

From this point alone, Su Lehui is very interested in cooperating with them.

After all, it is a big company, and the other party's contract will be completed soon.

Su Lehui checked word by word, scrutinized sentence by sentence to make sure there was nothing to dig, and then he solemnly signed his name.

After signing the contract and leaving the manuscript, Editor-in-chief Zhong immediately notified the property to transfer the manuscript fee to Su Lehui through the bank.

"Hui Zai, don't make me wait too long! Otherwise, I might go to your police station with a knife."

During the chat before, Su Lehui told the other party about his work, so editor Zhong would make such a joke.

Su Lehui laughed: "Then Uncle Zhong must be careful, if he is beaten into a sieve, it will be a crime."

"You boy! I'll send you here, go back and write "Mandarin Duck Sword" quickly, I'm still waiting to read it."

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhong, I won't make you wait too long."

Saying goodbye to the other party, Su Lehui came to the nearby bank without stopping.

Seeing the extra 10.5 in the account, Su Lehui was overjoyed.

Although justice points can also be exchanged for money in the mall, the exchange currency is limited to Hong Kong dollars, and the exchange ratio is 1:100.

If you use 70 points to exchange, you can only exchange 7 in the end and there is no follow-up income.

So unless it is absolutely necessary, Su Lehui will not be so stupid as to exchange it directly.

Putting these aside, Su Lehui now has to think about how to use the money.

It is definitely not enough to buy a house. Although the housing prices on Hong Kong Island are not tied to rockets, they are basically 700-1000 per square foot.

If you want to buy a house on Hong Kong Island that is enough for a family to live in, you can't do it without RMB 80.

In addition, Su Lehui also wants to buy a shop for his parents to open a tea restaurant, plus various expenses, it will cost at least two to three million.

Although I am confident that after the novel is published, the sales will not be too bad, but it will take time to accumulate.
