"Come on, Chengzi, you are quite open-minded. I thought you would be angry for a long time if you lost." Kuangmo joked.
"Tch, what's the point? Anyway, it's better to lose to Tokuchuan Xuan than to lose to you." Cheng Zi counterattacked.
"..." Mad Demon.
"Okay, okay, Kuangmo, you don't have any objections to Chengzi. You are responsible for bringing Jukou Xuan into the group. I look forward to communicating with him."
"Okay, okay, I'll ask the editor for Shikouxuan QQ soon, and then I'll bring him into the group."
At the same time, Li Hui returned to the conference room with a heavy expression. As soon as everyone in the conference room saw Li Hui coming back, they all immediately became energetic.
"Editor Li, what's going on? Has Shikou Xuan signed the contract?" Da Totoro said with a smile.
"Needless to say, this is a supreme contract. How could Gen Juguchi refuse?"
"Absolutely."
"How's it going?" The editor-in-chief looked at Li Hui. He just wanted to hear the news that the contract with Jukou Xuan was completed.
"Editor-in-Chief, this Shikou Xuan refused." Li Hui said with a heavy tone.
"What!"
"Fuck!"
"Isn't it?"
When the people present heard what Li Hui said, they all turned pale with shock. They looked at Li Hui dumbfounded.
"Editor Li, did I hear you correctly? You said Jukou Xuan refused?"
Li Hui nodded and said: "Yes, I did tell Jukou Xuan about the Supreme Contract, but he refused."
"Oh my God, is there something wrong with this Shikou Xuan's brain? This is the Supreme Contract!"
"Isn't it true? I don't know how many authors have dreamed of it, but he actually refused. I'll go!"
"This Shikou Xuanzhen is getting bigger and bigger. What does he want to do?"
The editors present started talking a lot. They all felt that Jukou Xuan must have had an inflated mentality because of the popularity of "Dou Po" and directly rejected the Supreme Contract.
The editor-in-chief looked at Li Hui and said, "Come to the office with me."
Ten minutes later, the editor-in-chief sat on the chair and looked at Li Hui and said: "Editor-in-chief Li, what is going on? Didn't you explain clearly to Jukou Xuan what the supreme contract is?"
The expression on the editor-in-chief's face became very solemn. He couldn't understand why Toguchi Gen refused to sign the contract. This was a supreme contract.
"The editor-in-chief, Jukou Xuan, has decided that the new book will be published physically first, and then published online, and he said that the terms of the Supreme Contract are a bit overbearing and unreasonable, and are not suitable for him," Li Hui said truthfully.
"What!" The editor-in-chief was surprised when he heard this.
"Is Toguchi Xuan's new book going to be published physically? Is he crazy?"
"Now that the physical edition industry is in a slump, this new book may not be easy to sell after it is published. If the sales are overwhelming, the publisher will definitely terminate the cooperation."
"This is a big step for Shikou Xuan. Although the results of "Dou Po" are not bad, it was only successful because of the choice of online publishing and the platform of Qidu Novel Network."
"The risk of his new book directly testing the physical version market is too great." The editor-in-chief shook his head and said. He felt that Toguchi Gen's approach was too impulsive.
"Originally, I have already planned that after his new book is released for a period of time, if the results are good, I will contact the publisher and publish "Dou Po" together. This is a safe way."
"I think so too. After all, first we have a fan base, and then we release a commemorative edition or something. In this way, many fans will buy it."
"But Jukou Xuan still refused." Li Hui's expression showed a hint of helplessness.
"Furthermore, the electronic version of Xuan Shikou's new book is licensed to Qidu Novel Network, but it is not limited to Qidu Novel Network. He will release it through all channels."
The editor-in-chief became a little angry when he heard this. He was unwilling to accept this kind of cooperation. As the editor-in-chief, he must consider the interests of the company.
If Jukou Xuan did this, it would be equivalent to treating Qidu Novel Network as a channel.
"Jukou Xuan is really arrogant. Does he really think that his good performance in "Doupo" is entirely because of himself?"
"Without the platform of Qidu Novel Network, this book "Dou Po" would never have become popular. He is destroying his own future." The editor-in-chief became more and more angry as he spoke.
"Li Hui, go and tell Jukou Xuan that I can't accept his approach. If he insists on having his own way, then Qidu Novel Network will have no choice but not to cooperate with him and will remove "Dou Po" from the shelves." Editor-in-Chief
His expression turned cold.
"Chief Editor, this..."
"Do as I say. In short, I will never make this move. Once I agree to Jukou Xuan, what will other people think? Orange and the others will definitely follow."
"Although Shikou Xuan is very important, I think the interests of the website are more important. As long as we have Qidu Novel Network, it will be easy to create a god."
"At worst, we can just recommend another person, we are very good at it." The editor-in-chief said firmly.
When Li Hui saw that the editor-in-chief had such a tough attitude, he didn't know what to say.
Li Hui walked past the editorial office, and the editors came up one after another.
"Editor Li, what's going on? What did the editor-in-chief say?" Big Totoro asked.
"The editor-in-chief said that he does not accept the model of Shikou Xuan. If Shikou Xuan insists on doing so, Qidu Novel Network will not cooperate with Shikou Xuan, and will also remove "Dou Po" from the shelves." Li Hui said feeling helpless.
.
"To be honest, I really don't want to see this happen. It's not good for anyone."
"hiss--"
Everyone present took a breath of shock when they heard this.
If they don't continue to cooperate with Juguchi Xuan, they will also take "Doupo" off the shelves, which really surprises them.
"Oh my God, the performance of "Dou Po" is very good. Once it is removed from the shelves, our website will suffer a lot of losses."
"What's the matter? I think the editor-in-chief did the right thing. This is to establish rules."
"No, Shikou Xuan has grown in popularity because of the popularity of "Dou Po". He never thought that "Dou Po" would never become popular without the platform of Qi Du Novel Network."
"This Shikou Xuan is really arrogant and ignorant. He must be taught a lesson. I support the editor-in-chief's approach."
"I support it too."
"support!"
Most of the people present spoke up to support the editor-in-chief's actions.
Li Hui didn't say anything. He felt that he still had to make some efforts. He felt that Shikou Xuan might have been impulsive. He would analyze the strong relationship for him and then he could persuade Shikou Xuan.
Shikouxuan signed a contract with Qidu Novel Network. This is a win-win situation, and it is also a situation that Li Hui wants to see.
Li Hui returned to his office and sat in front of the computer. He originally wanted to send a message to Shikou Xuan, but after thinking about it, he decided to call Shikou Xuan.
After all, there are many things that are explained clearly on the phone. (To be continued)
