Chapter 429 Domineering and unreasonable Supreme Covenant
"Editor Li, now that "Dou Po" has been completed, has Shikou Xuan disclosed the status of the new book?" The editor-in-chief looked at Li Hui and said.
"Not yet. After finishing the book, he did not communicate with me about the new book. Maybe he is still preparing it." Li Hui said solemnly.
"Editor-in-Chief, I think this Shikou Xuan needs to take a break for some reason. After all, "Dou Po" has just been finished not long ago, and he has updated so many times. This inspiration will probably have to wait for a while." Da Long.
said the cat.
"Yes, the performance of "Dou Po" has exploded. I think this has also put a lot of pressure on Jukou Xuan. Once the new book does not go as expected, it will affect him to some extent."
"I am now considering whether to sign a supreme contract with Juguchi Xuan." The editor-in-chief said solemnly.
As soon as the editor-in-chief said these words, the editors present were all surprised. The Supreme Agreement is the highest level contract of Qidu Novel Network. Once the contract is signed successfully, the author will enjoy the strong support of Qidu Novel Network.
"Editor-in-chief, is this too fast?"
"Yes, editor-in-chief, the results of "Dou Po" are indeed good, but Jukou Xuan has only written a novel. What if this new book fails?"
"Yes, editor-in-chief, I think you should think twice."
The editor-in-chief looked at Li Hui and said, "What do you think?"
"I think we can definitely sign a supreme contract with Jukou Xuan. After all, the results of "Dou Po" are here. Even if the results of Ju Kou Xuan's new book are not as good as "Dou Po", I don't think it will be much worse."
"Even if Shikou Xuan's new book hits the market, this is only compared to "Dou Po". For others, it is still a good result, and no matter how you look at it, we at Qidu Novel Network will not suffer."
Li Hui analyzed it carefully.
The editor-in-chief nodded, he thought so too. The threshold for online writing is not high, but there are only a handful of people who want to become a great master. Authors like Gen Juguchi who are extremely talented in writing are very rare. They belong to
Scarce resources.
Although Qidu Novel Network is the leader in online literature, it does not prevent other novel websites from extending an olive branch to Shikou Xuan. If Shikou Xuan signs a contract with other websites, Qidu Novel Network will suffer great losses.
"Li Hui, go and inquire about Shikou Xuan's attitude soon, see what's going on with his new book, and talk to him about the Supreme Appointment," the editor-in-chief immediately explained.
As a senior leader, the editor-in-chief certainly understands the importance of Shikouxuan. "Dou Po" alone has brought huge profits to Qidu Novel Network.
Even if Jukou Xuan's new book is not as good as "Dou Po", the editor-in-chief is not afraid, as long as it is at a normal level, if Qidu Novel Network further recommends it, the result will not be much worse.
What the editor-in-chief now wants is for Juguchi Xuan to sign it on Qidu Novel Network. The previous contract was modified by Juguchi Xuan, so the pen name belongs to the author himself, not to Qidu Novel Network.
"Okay, Editor Li, you go and talk to Shikou Xuan first," the editor said.
Li Hui nodded, and then returned to his office. He logged into QQ and sent a message to Shikou Xuan.
"Are you there? Now that "Dou Po" has been completed, the results are very good, so I think you should release a new book while it's still hot."
"Have you finished the idea for your new book?"
"The new book has been conceived and 100,000 words have been written."
When Li Hui saw the message from Shikou Xuan, his eyes immediately lit up and his mood suddenly became much more exciting.
This Shikou Xuan is really fast enough.
"If it's convenient, can I see the outline of your new book and the 30,000-word opening chapter?" Li Hui typed and sent it.
"Sorry, it's not convenient to disclose this yet."
Li Hui looked at the news, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, and then he typed: "It's okay, I believe in your strength, and by the way, I want to talk to you about the Supreme Appointment."
On the other side, Ye Xuan looked at the message sent by Li Hui and was silent for a moment.
"This supreme agreement is the highest level contract on Qidu Novel Network. Once this contract is signed, Qidu Novel Network will devote all its resources to recommend the author and his books."
“The author can also enjoy super high benefits.”
"This is the supreme contract. After you read it, we can discuss it carefully." Li Hui soon sent the supreme contract to Shikou Xuan.
Ye Xuan clicked to accept, and soon the Supreme Contract appeared in front of him.
"Ding! The host browses the contract, and the contract identification ability +1..."
"Ding! Trigger the intermediate contract identification ability."
"Ding! The contract is being scanned... The contract has been scanned. The unreasonable things are as follows:
"First, the pen name belongs to Qidu Novel Network; second, Qidu Novel Network will give priority to operating the copyright of novels under the author's name; third, once the contract is signed, the author and the website will have a contract period of twenty years; fourth, within the contract period
, without the permission of the website, the author will not publish new books in any form...
After hearing the system prompts, Ye Xuan immediately frowned and his expression became much more solemn.
Although this supreme contract has very good benefits, with a minimum guarantee of 10 million, and other super high benefits, for Ye Xuan, this is a deceptive contract.
Not to mention the other deceptive clauses signed, just the few unreasonable things prompted by the system made Ye Xuan have no idea about this supreme contract.
The pen name Shikou Xuan is very important to Ye Xuan. Now that this pen name has become popular due to the results of "Dou Po", the popularity has suddenly increased, and the value is worth a lot.
If this name belongs to Qidu Novel Network, then Ye Xuan can only write on Qidu Novel Network from now on, and he is not allowed to use the pen name Shikou Xuan in other places. Otherwise, it will be a breach of contract and he will be held accountable.
Moreover, the contract period is twenty years, which is equivalent to tying Ye Xuan to the ship of Qidu Novel Network. During this period, Ye Xuan is not allowed to cooperate with other websites. This is a huge disadvantage, and he naturally disagrees.
In addition, all the copyrights of new books belong to Qidu Novel Network, which is something Ye Xuan cannot tolerate. In short, this supreme contract is a dream in the eyes of others, but in Ye Xuan's eyes, it is like poison. Once signed, it will be troublesome.
Already.
"Hey, this cooperation is too overbearing. Of course I can't sign it." Ye Xuan thought to himself.
At this time, on the other side, Li Hui was sitting on a chair waiting for Ye Xuan's reply. In his opinion, Ye Xuan would not refuse to sign the Supreme Contract.
In his view, signing the Supreme Contract is an honor and a symbol. With the strong support of Qidu Novel Network, it is very beneficial to his personal development.
Although there are some overbearing clauses, in general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The strength of Qidu Novel Network is here, and it is the leader in the online literary world. Otherwise, how could there be so many people who continue to preach on Qidu Novel Network.
But Jukou Xuan is different from these people. He does not need to rely on Qidu Novel Network to develop. (To be continued)
