Chapter 38 - External trouble and internal trouble
The first round of “Ghost Blowing Lamp” publishing negotiations.
“The publishing fee of 500 thousand words, plus a 5% royalties for newcomers!”
The second round of “Ghost Blowing Lamp” publishing negotiations.
“The publishing fee of 1,000 words per thousand words, plus the 7% royalties of the highest treatment for newcomers, and our publisher’s promise to publish the author’s works first in the future!”
The third round of “Ghost Blowing Lamp” publishing negotiations.
“…”
The fifth round of “Ghost Blowing Lamp” publishing negotiations.
“1. Our publishing house enjoys exclusive agency rights and the priority to publish the author’s next work.
2. The highest royalty fee can be given to the basic standard of 1,200 thousand words, plus a step-by-step royalty share. If it is less than 300,000 copies, it is the minimum standard 5% royalties; between 300,000 copies and 1 million copies, 10% royalties; if it exceeds 1 million copies, we can give the highest royalty of 17% for suspense books.
Editor-in-Chief Hua, this is the highest sincerity our publishing house can offer, and I believe that no other publisher can offer better conditions than me! “
Within a week, Longteng Chinese.com had negotiated a total of five times with domestic publishing houses that have cooperated with each other. There was a one-day interval between the first two times, and the next three times were almost one negotiation a day. Silk’s interests are at odds with each other.
In the first round of negotiations, the conditions put forward by Longteng Chinese.com had already persuaded 99% of the publishers who wanted to publish. It was not that they did not have the ability to publish, but that their small family was small compared to the huge effort. Don’t dare to gamble on this profit!
In the second round, there are still more than a dozen or 20 companies that are still holding on. Most of these publishing houses are at the first-class level.
In the fourth round, only the top three publishers in the country were still able to persevere and negotiate, but the top three rankings may soon be reshuffled.
Manjinghua Publishing House, which has always been a well-deserved No. 1 publishing house, is at the most turbulent stage because of internal and external troubles in the publishing house.
The sudden death of the old chairman Dong Chengwen caught the Dong family by surprise. In addition, the large and small shareholders on the board of directors were divided into different factions.
The new chairman Dong Sicheng is just a young boy who has not graduated from college. He needs no connections and no prestige, except for a few old friends who accompanied the old chairman Dong Chengwen and worked hard to build this country today. , I didn’t want to believe that a hairy boy could support Man Jinghua.
If it is said that the mutual restraint between internal shareholders is an internal concern, then the hoes from other publishing houses that are constantly swung are the lingering shadow of foreign troubles!
From the time Dong Sicheng took over as chairman to the present, within half a year, three teams in the publishing house have been poached one after another. These are not three people who are optional, but hundreds of experienced and well-connected people in Manjinghua Publishing House. Head, with those small publishing houses, a team alone is enough to support the entire publishing house!
The departure of the three teams this time can be said to have hurt Manjinghua Publishing House. The most irritating thing to Dong Sicheng is that the entire three teams of their publishing house were poached by the same publishing house—Yonghe Culture publishing house.
Yonghe Culture Publishing House ranks third in the ranking of domestic publishing houses. Although this ranking is often questioned by the industry, most publishing houses dare not speak out.
Don’t look at Yonghe Culture Publishing House, the name seems to have a lot of cultural heritage. They have a boss who uses all his means and likes to play some unscrupulous tricks. The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked.
“Chairman, are the conditions you gave to the book “Ghost Blowing the Lamp” a little out of the norm?”
“That’s right. Just sitting in that position, I can’t wait to break the rules set in the past. If it makes you sit for a long time, is it worth it?”
“I think young people should be more cautious!”
“hehe.”
Snapped! !
Dong Sicheng slammed **** the table, looking at the expressions on every shareholder’s face with vicious eyes, wanting to see a trace of embarrassment on the faces of these hateful old guys, it was just a dream!
Being old and not dead is a thief. At their current age, they have eaten more salt than Dong Sicheng has traveled. A yellow-mouthed child with no hair grows his mouth and shut his mouth and said he would teach them to do things. .
Bah~
“As long as the shareholders of the board of directors support me, plus the 36% of the shares held by our Dong family, and more than 51% of the shares in one day, then I, Dong Sicheng, will be the chairman of Manjinghua Publishing House in one day! The matter of this publishing house will be Listen to me, understand?
I have already given the conditions to Longteng Chinese. I can guarantee that the other party will not refuse my conditions!
I only have one request from you, and that is to fully cooperate with the publication and promotion of “Ghost Blowing the Lamp”. If the book fails to sell one million copies in the end, I will voluntarily resign as chairman! “
“Really!?”
“Xiao Dong, confused, how can this kind of thing be so impulsive.”
“…”
As soon as these words came out, Dong Sicheng was equivalent to issuing a “military order” in front of all the shareholders. UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com was equivalent to saying whether his position as chairman could be settled in the end depends on “Ghost Blowing the Lamp” Is it really so good that so many readers are willing to pay for it!
“Okay! We promise you that we will never stumble upon you when it comes to the publication of “Ghost Blowing the Lamp”, but we also hope that you will keep your promise in the end.”
The members of the board of directors walked away, and the remaining three were all die-hard supporters of their Dong family. Looking at Dong Sicheng’s immature and determined face, they opened their mouths, but those who wanted to persuade the other party said nothing. Can’t say anything.
“Don’t worry, uncles and uncles, when my dad founded the entire Manjinghua from nothing, I dare not say that it is better than my dad, but it is definitely not bad. The best horn!”
In fact, just as Dong Sicheng expected, after receiving the conditions he quoted, Longteng Chinese.com agreed on the spot without the slightest desire to continue bargaining.
Of course, this is still a preliminary mutual agreement between the two parties on publishing matters!
In the signing contract of “Ghost Blowing the Lamp”, it is clearly pointed out that the author Zhichunzhigang will give the copyright operation of “Ghost Blowing Lamp” to Longteng Chinese. However, the final signature must be completed by the author himself.
so……
The new editor-in-chief Natto came to the company’s editor-in-chief’s office for the first time, and stood in front of the editor-in-chief Hua Chen for the first time. He pinched the corners of his clothes with his hands down and felt a touch of anxiety and tension. Of course, it was more about Hua Chen. worship!
The word “Brilliance” looks like an ordinary person’s name to outsiders, but it is a legend in the editorial world. One person created Longteng Chinese.com, and discovered and cultivated the legendary existence of the supreme **** Yaoyang!
