After saying goodbye to Xiao Sala, Wen Ying no longer had any worries and directly signed the publishing contract for "Xunyong" negotiated by Yuan Fenghui.
The Magic City Literature and Art Publishing House acquired Wen Ying, and the entire publishing house took this matter very seriously. The editor-in-chief even flew to Chengdu to meet Wen Ying in person, and chatted with Wen Ying for several hours about "Xun Yong."
"This is a magnificent piece of work."
Ding Chao, the editor-in-chief of Modu Literature and Art Publishing House, did not hesitate to praise: "Our society will definitely do its best to cooperate with Teacher Xiaoyu to create the 'Jiuding' series!"
Yuan Fenghui and Wen Ying both just smiled.
Editor-in-chief Ding is really a good person. He does not look down on Wen Ying because of his age. He calls Wen Ying "Teacher Xiaoyu", which is both kind and respectful.
The 'Jiuding' series, as the name suggests, has nine books. How could someone as smart as Yuan Fenghui put all nine books on one publishing house? If the publishing house failed to manage well midway and went bankrupt, wouldn't it be a trap for Wen Ying?
?
Therefore, although there are nine books in this series, Yuan Fenghui signed each one individually.
Modu Literature and Art Publishing House proposed to sign a contract for three books at a time and pay Wen Ying 12 million in royalties in advance, but Yuan Fenghui rejected it.
Wen Ying had no objection to Yuan Fenghui's decision.
It was right not to sign three books. Wen Ying was quite stressed after taking 12 million yuan in advance. Who knew that after the physical book market shrank in two years, the second and third books in the Jiuding series would still sell well. Wen Ying did not expect that
At that time, I was secretly complained by Modu Literature and Art Publishing House.
By writing and signing each book, Wen Ying becomes more free and unburdened when creating!
Of course, in addition to not wanting to cheat the Magic City Literature and Art Publishing House, Wen Ying and Yuan Fenghui also have other considerations: first, see if the Magic City Literature and Art Publishing House has the ability to run "Xun Yong" well, and then whether to sign other books in the Jiuding series to
The other party has signed a contract and is bound to do so. If the cooperation between the two parties is not happy in the middle, it will be troublesome. It is better to write a book and sign a book. The Magic City Literature and Art Publishing House will not neglect this, and both parties retain the right to choose whether to continue the cooperation!
Regardless of what editor-in-chief Ding Chao thinks, at least on the surface Ding Chao likes "Xun Yong" very much and respects Wen Ying's creative ideas. He does not force Wen Ying to repeat the path of "Young Idol". From this point of view
He said that the two parties should be able to cooperate happily.
The content of the book was no longer a problem. Ding Chao talked about the publication time of "Xun Yong".
"I want to release "Xunyong" in mid-February next year, because Teacher Xiaoyu's "Galaxy and You" is selling like hotcakes, and even the sales of "Teen Idol" are still good. If "Xunyong" is released too quickly, it will be detrimental to the market.
The first two books may not be a good thing. The new book by the same author can stimulate the old books, but also have an impact on the old books. Readers are a bit fond of the new and hate the old. I wonder what you two think?"
It is precisely because of the popularity of "Galaxy and You" that Modu Literature and Art Publishing House launched "Xunyong" as quickly as possible to catch up with this wave of popularity.
Unexpectedly, Ding Chao was willing to wait two more months in order not to share the popularity of "Galaxy and You" so that both Wen Ying and Tianjiao could make more money from "Galaxy and You".
This idea is indeed very considerate, but... Yuan Fenghui's eyes flashed, revealing Chief Editor Ding's little thoughts:
"Of course there is no problem. Mid-February next year will be before the Spring Festival. Most of Wenying's readers are students. Before the Spring Festival, they not only have free time but also pocket money. There is no pressure to buy "Xunyong"."
Ding Chao laughed loudly, "Director Yuan is really discerning. He indeed has this level of consideration, which is beneficial to both of us!"
This is quite true.
When it comes to cooperation, don't worry about the partners making profits. A win-win situation can make cooperation last longer.
Wen Ying was very satisfied with today's meeting.
Editor-in-chief Ding is a very transparent person. Regardless of the other person’s literary attainments and editing abilities, at least there is no awkwardness in getting along with him.
Wen Ying was even more satisfied with signing a management contract with Yuan Fenghui.
Yuan Fenghui has the ability to save Wen Ying worry and effort. All the external trivial matters are handled by Yuan Fenghui, and Wen Ying only needs to show her face happily.
Wen Ying's relaxation came at a price. 500,000 out of the 5 million paid in advance by Magic City Literature and Art Publishing House belonged to Yuan Fenghui. After seeing off Chief Editor Ding, Wen Ying mentioned this matter, and Yuan Fenghui rolled his eyes:
"Okay, you can take the advance payment first. I keep my word. The sales volume of "Xun Yong" is less than 2 million copies. I don't want to work for you in vain even if I pay you a dime!"
Wen Ying gave Yuan Fenghui a thumbs up: "I just like your confidence."
Wen Ying got a bargain and behaved well. Yuan Fenghui rolled his eyes and said, "The Magic City will pay you 5 million in advance, and the Chengdu Literature and Art Publishing House still has 3 million. After paying the tax, there is still a lot left. You can use this money
How do you want to spend it when you hold it in your hand?"
Wen Ying put her hand on her belly.
"Ah? How to spend it? I haven't thought about it yet, my stomach hurts... I have to go now!"
Wen Ying said "stomach pain" to escape, Yuan Fenghui spat lightly: "Little slippery man, can I still hurt you?"
…
"Teacher Yuan will definitely not harm me, but if all my investments are related to her, I'm afraid I won't be able to do without her in the future. That would be too scary!"
To Xie Qian, Wen Ying confided her feelings in a half-joking way.
When the economy is mixed together, life is mixed together.
Just like some couples who have lost their feelings in trivial marriages and hate each other but refuse to divorce. In addition to having to consider their children, part of the reason is finances.
After a divorce, wealth is instantly reduced by half. The rich are unwilling to divorce, but the poor cannot afford to divorce. A house is split in half and no one has to live in it.
Jiang Xuekun also made a special call to Xie Qian regarding the termination of the contract between Wen Ying and Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House.
The general manager of a publishing group can really care about an author, and he really values Wen Ying very much.
Jiang Xuekun only knew that Bao Lixin had an excellent resume, but he didn't know that the other party was so stubborn. Even though he had warned Bao Lixin long ago, he still forced Wen Ying to leave. It was so speechless!
The purpose of Jiang Xuekun's call was to persuade him to stay. Xie Qian expressed his deep sympathy, but also made it clear that he would not interfere with Wen Ying's decision.
"Uncle Jiang, I have warned you about this matter a long time ago. Now it seems that there is a lack of fate between Rongcheng Literary Publishing House and Wen Ying."
Jiang Xuekun choked.
Whether this is fate or not depends entirely on Xie Qian's words.
well!
Jiang Xuekun didn't force it. As the saying goes, girls can't be admitted in college. Jiang Xuekun felt that boys would be the same when they grow up. How could "Uncle Jiang" be as important as his little girlfriend?
In front of Wen Ying, Xie Qian did not mention this matter at all. He felt that Wen Ying's "economic bundling theory" was very reasonable. If the economy is mixed together, life is really inseparable.
Xie Qian tried to keep his tone natural: "Then how are you going to spend this money, continue to buy a house or make other investments?"
"Invest, I want to buy some stocks."
Wen Ying couldn't remember the specific rise or fall of the stock market, but she still knew which companies' stocks were worth holding for a long time. The money she could make from buying the right stocks was no less than making money from buying a house.
"Buying stocks...are you considering investing in other companies besides Tianjiao?"
Xie Qian's suggestion made Wen Ying confused, "Are you talking about Jiaxin Film and Television?"
"No, it doesn't make much sense to invest in a company of the same type. I invite you to invest in a logistics company."
It is better to tie up the economy with Yuan Fenghui than tie him up. Xie Qian considers himself more reliable than Yuan Fenghui.
Wen Ying opened her mouth slightly.
It was really unexpected that she escaped from the tiger's mouth and fell into the wolf's den. It was not only Yuan Fenghui who was thinking about the royalties in her pocket.
Xie Qian, a quasi-relocation household, is not short of money at all. Now he wants her to buy shares... Hey, hey, didn't we agree to maintain the status quo and continue to be good friends?!
