Chapter 085 is willful

Zhang Tan doesn't like to suffer losses, he is a person who dares to turn over the table with his boss on the spot.

But it does not mean that he is very reckless. On the contrary, Zhang Tan is quite scheming and knows how to judge the situation.

If he is a person with great hands and eyes, or if he suffers a great loss after turning against him, he will be patient. However, he is now barefoot and is not afraid of wearing shoes. He has offended Li Wei and has made him unable to publish a novel immediately, so there is nothing to worry about, just search the guys.

How bad can the loss be?

With such thoughts, Zhang Tancai chose to do a big fight in Wu Khan.

Of course, he couldn't play a very profound conspiracy well, so he had a little bit of rude spirit. After asking Zhao Shijie out for tea, Zhang Tan didn't talk much nonsense and said directly: "Director Zhao, Li Wei is so outrageous. I asked me to discuss the publication of "The Four Famous Catchers of the Capital", but I asked me to ask for a kickback, half of the kickback."

"It's not true."

Zhao Shijie was drinking Longjing tea and happily echoed. He felt that eating and drinking a child was a bit unauthentic. But then he thought that the other party was not an ordinary child, but a big bull with more than 100,000 yuan in manuscript fees for more than half a year. His salary in several years was not as much as he earned.

This makes the more peace of mind for big-time people.

As a young man, just eat his big family and then follow him and say a few words that don’t hurt or itchy.

These days, working hard is not all for one bite of food and drink?

Seeing Zhao Shijie's happy and contented look, Zhang Tan was a little dissatisfied. He felt that the other party was not a material for doing big things. However, since he had already made an appointment, he still had to say what he should say: "I just can't swallow this and want to react to your publishing house. Can Director Zhao help me react?"

"Ha?" Zhao Shijie was shocked and slowly returned to calm. "Oh, logically speaking, Li Wei made such a mistake, which is very serious and must be severely punished... But, such things need to be proved. The verbal words on the dinner table cannot be taken seriously, and you have not agreed to have no money transactions, which is difficult to deal with."

"Does Wukang University Press allow Li Wei to ruin the reputation of the publisher and infringe on the interests of the publisher? Director Zhao, you can tolerate such a person and be responsible for the publishing and distribution of the publisher?" Zhang Tan's sow discord was not clever, but was a little too deliberate.

However, Zhao Shijie just shook his head and sighed, not knowing whether he had fallen into the plan of discord or saw through it: "Xiao Zhang, there are gray areas in all walks of life. What Li Wei does is a gray area. It is okay to catch the current situation and make him do it, but it will not be easy to move this cake."

"Can Director Zhao tell me? I want to know more."

"Well, you are still young and a talented writer, I will tell you about the publishing skills." Zhao Shijie started chatting while drinking tea, "Wuhan University Press, what does it mean? It doesn't do martial arts. What Li Wei did is just reselling book accounts, and the channels are really not as good as those of several other publishers."

...

In 2002, online novels just emerged, and the market was still based on physical publishing. However, the market was not so standardized, so I won’t talk about the rampant piracy, and book numbers could not be traded.

The state strictly stipulates publishing, and there are strict requirements for pornography, tyranny and politics. Publishers need to patiently and meticulously complete the three reviews and three proofreadings and other aspects before they can issue book numbers. This leads to the fact that publishing a formal publication requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and not every publisher has the qualifications and abilities.

Many publishing individuals and booksellers have some works in their hands, but cannot apply for a book number (ISBN), which is the barcode on the back cover.

Without a book number, this book is illegal.

The state has regulations that book numbers are strictly prohibited, but what should I do if I have to publish a book but cannot apply for a book number? In particular, many people are still counting on publishing books to make a name for themselves and preparing for their future professional title evaluation. Therefore, reselling book numbers has become a phenomenon that has been repeatedly banned, and many regular publishing houses have participated in the transaction of reselling book numbers.

This is a huge industrial chain. Because there are enough interests, the above are turning a blind eye.

Through Zhao Shijie's narrative, Zhang Tan has a relatively vague concept of publishing.

Li Wei helped him publish books before, which was a type of reselling book numbers.

It is not that Wuhan University Press really wants to publish martial arts, but Li Wei is helping him get a book number from Wuhan University Press, and then ask some small publishers or book merchants to publish it. In this way, bypassing the rules and opening up the publishing link.

In other words, it means digging for the public, and just poaching, the public will turn a blind eye.

Publishers also have to live a life, and don’t get some night grass and make quick extra money. In this era of laid-offs across the country, they can’t even pay their wages. Li Wei is undoubtedly such a person who resells book numbers for publishers, wandering on the gray edge.

"So, if you report to the higher authorities, the effect is not great. Everyone is eating this bowl of rice, and no one wants to smash it. This is the reason why Li Wei is so confident. So, Xiao Zhang, it’s not that I don’t help you, but that the environment is like this, there is no way!" After Zhao Shijie finished speaking, he sighed with a long sigh.

He thought that perhaps he was defeated by Li Wei back then, because Li Wei dared to resell book accounts and earn money from the publishing house, but he did not dare.

After hearing Zhao Shijie's words, Zhang Tan was also silent for a long time.

He now really understood what confidence Li Wei had, saying that he would ban him in Wu Khan. It turned out that he was a broker who reselled book accounts. With his relationship, in Wu Khan or the entire publishing industry of Fengbei, he could probably really make friends with many booksellers, and the interests of ordinary people would be connected.

Only if you have this confidence can you dare to get half the kickback in one breath.

However, no matter how confident Zhang Tan is, he will still mess with him!

"Director Zhao, even if Li Wei has people above, there are many people staring at his seat under his butt? He has definitely taken a lot of kickbacks for this over the years. You know, he dares to ask for half of my kickbacks, and he still feels that he eats less. He says he wants to catch big fish for a long line. Wouldn't he eat more to others? Can the publishing house eat as fat as him?"

When Zhao Shijie replied, there was a sour smell: "It's a lot, but I can only stare at it and I can't fight him."

"It's up to man, maybe you can do it by connecting it in series? If you fight him, don't you all drink soup in the future, add two more pieces of fat meat."

Zhao Shijie's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed: "Who is willing to offend people if you are not sure about things?"

Zhang Tan could see that Zhao Shijie was a little moved, so he added to the point of being angry and said, "Is it true that both people and stolen goods are considered to be sure?"

"Everyone and stolen money are captured?"

"Yes, no one can protect him if he catches him and gets kickbacks."

"This is a breakup... Oh, it's still too aggressive. Moreover, I'm just a deputy director of the office. Even if he falls, it's not my turn to eat fat." At the critical moment, Zhao Shijie wilted again.

Insufficient courage.

This is Zhang Tan's evaluation of Zhao Shijie. He didn't even dare to fight. No wonder he was sitting on the bench. And his eyes were a little shorter, so he didn't dare to do it without fat. If Zhang Tan came to do it, no matter whether he could eat fat, he would have been sitting on the bench anyway. Why don't you take a try? He drove Li Wei down first and then operated it. Maybe this position will be obtained.

Of course, this is just Zhang Tan’s verbal tricks. Anyone can do it, but it will be difficult to do it.

It is normal for Zhao Shijie to wither.

"I still have to throw some bait."

At this moment, Zhang Tanyi said, "Director Zhao, how about my "Four Famous Catching the Capital"? Li Wei's view is that the market prospects are not bad, and the previous book "Four Famous Catching the Guandong" I practiced sold more than 30,000 traditional books in Taiwan. Now, in "The Legend of the Contemporary and Ancient Martial Arts Edition", my novel is also the most popular serialized. Is there any prospect?"

"Of course there is, you Xiao Zhang is very talented." Zhao Shijie nodded in a depressed manner.

Although he had a shallow understanding of Zhang Tan, he thought he could be attracted by Li Wei and Wang Conglun, and he had nothing to say about his ability to write novels.

"If I say, after I get Li Wei down, I hope to ask Director Zhao to help me publish the book. As long as Director Zhao makes the profit, I can transfer it to you? It is absolutely no problem to make a book worth tens of thousands of yuan. "The Four Famous Conquer Guandong" earned me tens of thousands of yuan in the small market of Taiwan!"

Wealth is moving, and if we fail to provoke discord, we can only reward the brave man with great reward.

Zhang Tan didn't value money at all, but he was so angry that Li Wei spoke loudly, and he looked down on others. He would rather use this money to smash him than compromise.

Nothing else, having money means being willful.

Besides, the first simplified Chinese book "The Four Famous Catchers of the Capital" became popular, and the next one was probably someone else begging him to publish the book. This time, I just thought it was a stepping stone to throw it away.
