"For 50,000 yuan, I bought the copyright of the The Legend of the Condor Heroes?"

Guo Dalu stared at Jiang Dongliu, "Lao Jiang, do you know how much copyright of this book is?"

He said to the two: "Let me tell you, the copyright of the Legend of the Condor Heroes is not hundreds of millions, so don't think about not being able to get it down. And even if you pay a few hundred millions, I won't sell it! Let's not talk about this copyright."

In his extra memory, Guo Dalu clearly knows how important the copyright of the The Legend of the Condor Heroes is. This is simply a money tree!

It is no problem that the Yellow River Literature and Art Publishing House gives him a little more and less royalty. As long as it is reasonable, he will not have any objections, but the copyright must be in his own hands.

Although he was short of money, he was not so short-sighted for this little money.

When Jiang Dongliu saw Guo Dalu a little angry, he hurriedly said, "Dalu, the copyright is about your love and I will. Since you don't agree, then forget it! Today we will only discuss the royalties!"

In fact, this "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is now only favored by a few people in their publishing house. As for the market conditions of publishing and distribution, it is not something that the publishing house people can correctly predict.

There were many books that were favored by many people before they were published, but once they entered the market, they could not withstand the test of the market and became unsold books.

Therefore, even the old birds from publishing houses such as Jiangdongliu are difficult to completely grasp the quality of their works with the market conditions.

To be honest, Jiang Dongliu said that it would cost 50,000 yuan to buy copyright. For a newcomer, the price is actually not low. After all, no one can guarantee whether this book will be popular in the future.

But Guo Dalu knew how great the potential of this book was, so he naturally would not agree to the price.

He Chunsheng next to him smiled and said, "Mr. Guo, this The Legend of the Condor Heroes is indeed very good, but you said that the copyright is worth hundreds of millions, isn't it a bit too much to take it for granted?"

"Take it for granted?"

Guo Dalu glanced at He Chunsheng and said to the sky: "She has this confidence!"

Seeing that he was funny, He Chunsheng even used the word "Sajia". He wanted to laugh for a moment but was embarrassed to laugh. He held his anger and lowered his head and said nothing more. He handed over everything to Jiang Dongliu to talk about.

In fact, He Chunsheng came this time mainly to meet the author Guo Dalu.

When Jiang Dongliu said that Guo Dalu was just a selling pork, it aroused He Chunsheng's great interest. He really could not associate the image of a pork dealer with the image of a novel writer, and this novel was written so well in his opinion.

When I first saw Guo Dalu today, this sense of incongruity became even stronger.

Guo Dalu is 1.9 meters tall and tall. Because of his practice of boxing, he was extremely simple at this time.

A small elastic vest on the upper body, big shorts on the lower body, and sneakers on the feet. Their hair reaches amazing muscles and almost bursts the entire vest.

The whole person feels like a human-shaped tank, and it is even more visually impactful than a professional bodybuilder.

But just such a terrifyingly strong guy wrote an amazing novel, which made He Chunsheng, who was used to the weak images of writers, feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, looking at Guo Dalu who was talking with Jiang Dongliu, a thought suddenly arose in He Chunsheng's mind, "I'm afraid that only such people can write real martial arts novels."

When he thought about it this way, he felt comfortable all over.

Guo Dalu has such a rough and generous image, in ancient times, he was a hero who killed pigs and dogs.

As expected, only such a person can write such a refreshing martial arts work. No wonder the weak scholars in the past could not write this feeling!

While He Chunsheng was sitting next to him, constantly making excuses for Guo Dalu's writing in his mind, Jiang Dongliu had already talked about the issue of royalties with Guo Dalu.

"Dalu, let's not talk about copyright issues. Let's talk about the issue of royalties now."

Guo Dalu looked confused: "What is royalty?"

Jiang Dongliu sighed, "Dalu, have you never been exposed to entertainment? You don't understand at all."

Guo Dalu said: "Isn't this nonsense? My previous jobs are not next to entertainment. Where can I understand?"

Jiang Dongliu said: "Okay, I'll explain it."

He explained to Guo Dalu: "Royalty, simply put, is the commission for the number of printed books combined with the sales price of a single book. The royalties for newcomers in the industry are generally 8%, while well-known writers can reach 12 to 15%, but Dalu..."

Jiang Dongliu said: "Because we have paid part of your royalties by paying the royalties by word count, we can't fight for you anymore in terms of royalties, so we can only calculate the royalties for you based on 8% of the new writers."

After knowing that Jiang Dongliu had finished speaking, Guo Dalu truly understood the small abacus that the publisher made.

When they paid the royalties, they gave themselves a seemingly fair price, but when they were discussing royalties, they pushed them hard.

In Guo Dalu's memory, he knew how popular this "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" would be. Once such a novel was released, it would be possible to sell millions of copies. If he made a little concession on royalties, he would lose a lot of money.

Guo Dalu is naturally unwilling to do this.

"Lao Jiang, your publishing house is a bit unauthentic!"

Guo Dalu looked at Jiang Dongliu, "The manuscript fee for my book is small, and royalties are the big ones! Are you bullying me and not understanding the market?"

He said to Jiang Dongliu: "You are like this, I don't want the royalty of 85,000 yuan. You can increase the royalty to 15%. Do you think it's okay?"

When Jiang Dongliu and He Chunsheng came, Wang Qinglong, the president of Huanghe Literature and Art Publishing House, had already told the two, "Be sure to maximize the benefits of royalties!"

When Wang Qinglong saw the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he knew that the publishing house had a turning point, but based on the nature of a businessman, even if the book is excellent, he still has to maximize his interests.

To increase royalties to gain Guo Dalu's favor, and then inadvertently reduce royalties to the lowest level is the ultimate goal of Jiang Dongliu and He Chunsheng here.

The entire publisher is unanimously optimistic about the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", so they are naturally more concerned about royalties. Even if Jiang Dongliu and Guo Dalu are familiar with each other, for the sake of profit, the boat of friendship will be overturned at will, not to mention that the two are just ordinary friends.

Jiang Dongliu originally saw Guo Dalu not knowing anything about the literary and artistic circles, especially when he gave him tens of thousands of royalties, he looked satisfied. He thought that today's negotiations would be easy to achieve the goal.

But unexpectedly, when talking about copyright, Guo Dalu suddenly became smart. Not only did he not sell the copyright of his work, but he also did not agree with the points he said, which was much beyond Jiang Dongliu's expectations.

"Dalu, you are just a newcomer. How could the royalty be raised to fifteen points?"

Jiang Dongliu was a little angry, "In the entire publishing industry, only a few famous writers can reach the height of fifteen points. Ordinary writers are between 8% and 10%, and more than ten points are rare!"

Guo Dalu said: "I don't care! I'm very upset when I suddenly read you! At worst, I won't publish this book in your publishing house, but there are many other publishing houses!"

Jiang Dongliu has a little understanding of Guo Dalu's violent temper. This guy is the one who does what he says. If he really doesn't like him, he may not be able to cooperate with his publishing house if he gives him 50% of the royalties.

Now that he heard him say this, he was shocked, "Don't! Dalu, don't be angry!"

He comforted Guo Dalu and said, "I'll ask our president if it's okay? Can you fight with you?"

Guo Dalu stared at him and said, "I have thought about it, I don't want fifteen points. You can give me twelve points. Even if this matter is settled, if it is lower than twelve points, you will go wherever you love!"
