Two hours later, the people from Xinchang Publishing House soon arrived, and after receiving a phone call, Li Qing closed the lyrics, got up and left the bedroom, and went to the agreed café not far from the apartment to meet him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There were three people from Xinchang Publishing House, except for a middle-aged woman who was about thirty or forty years old, and the other two men were very young.

The three of them waited for a long time at the door of the café.

The middle-aged woman has a quiet appearance, an elegant temperament, and a relatively quiet temperament, so she doesn't have much reaction to waiting in place.

On the contrary, it was the two young people, one short and fat, and the other with curly hair, who looked at their watches from time to time, and their expressions were slightly impatient, until Li Qing came to them, he still looked angry, "This Qinglian Sword Immortal is also too big, and he said the agreed place in advance, but he didn't wait for us here, but let us wait for him......"

"If it's a well-known writer's vest, forget it, if it's a pure newcomer, hey, when he enters this industry, I'll let him know what the rules are!"

The middle-aged woman frowned and looked at them, pursed her lips, and finally didn't say anything.

They have been waiting for more than ten minutes, speaking of which, this Qinglian Sword Immortal seems to be a big name, signing works in previous years, which author didn't set up a feast with trepidation, waiting to pick them up?

She looked at a handsome young man walking towards them, and after a few appreciative glances, the middle-aged woman looked to the left and right to avoid being abrupt.

She is more optimistic about the novel "Xun Qin Ji", and she is actually looking forward to having the temperament of a literary master, and the 'Qinglian Sword Fairy' wearing fairy clothes fluttering can appear in front of her!

The two young men also noticed the handsome guy walking towards them, and their expressions were a little jealous, and their hearts were full of frustration.

The originally chattering discussion came to an abrupt end, and the two young men secretly slandered themselves in their hearts, if I had this face, why would I still be single for more than 20 years?

Have you already reached the realm of thousands of flowers and not touching the leaves?

The more I thought about it, the more jealous I became.

I have to admit that sometimes, a lot of negative emotions are caused by the person thinking too much......

However, the next moment, when the handsome and outrageous boy stood in front of them and asked, "Is it from Xinchang Publishing House?", including the middle-aged woman, the expressions of the three people were stunned and blurted out almost at the same time.

"You are the Qinglian Sword Immortal?"

Cafe.

The four of them sat down one after another, and after ordering a few drinks, Li Qing looked at the two young men with a smile, he was not deaf, and the voices of the two were not small, and the noise of the two people was heard from a long distance.

However, Li Qing didn't care, he knew that it was not them who dominated the pricing power of his works, but the middle-aged woman sitting opposite him.

"Hello, I am Shi Wen, the deputy editor-in-chief of the mainland branch of Taiwan's Hsin Chong Publishing House. Shi Wen smiled slightly: "I didn't expect Qinglian Sword Immortal to be so young, and ...... The same is true of the appearance......

"Hello, contemptible Li Qing, pen name Qinglian Sword Immortal. ”

Li Qing has some slanderous Shi Wen's way of speaking, so she comes and goes, at first glance, she is a young woman of literature and art, quiet on the outside, wild on the inside......

Shi Wen nodded, and unconsciously took the initiative in this conversation: "Can I easily ask, how many words are expected to be needed to complete the book in "Xun Qin Ji", and how many words have been completed now?"

"It's 15.6 million words, and now it's about a million words. ”

Li Qing took a sip of coffee, a little bitter, and then opened the sugar jar on the table and added a spoonful of sugar to himself.

Shi Wen was a little surprised, she was able to endure loneliness and write a million-word novel alone, even she, the deputy editor-in-chief, didn't see much of her, and she didn't have the excitement written by Qinglian Sword Immortal at all......

Shi Wen was immediately interested: "Can I take a look at the rest of the manuscript?"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid not. Li Qing smiled sincerely.

A short and fat young man sitting next to him suddenly said, "Why not? We have to sign your traditional Chinese copyright, so naturally we have to look at your next manuscript to set a specific buyout price." ”

Shi Wen nodded, agreeing with the young man's statement.

Li Qing asked rhetorically: "So judging from my previous 200,000-word storyline, how much buyout price can I get now?"

"Fifty words in a thousand words!"

Another curly-haired young man said that this was the result of internal discussions within the company in advance, and of course, if the follow-up manuscript was indeed of extremely high quality, it was not impossible to have a hundred words in a thousand words.

It's just that when he said 50 words in 1,000 words, and saw that Li Qing was not moved at all, the curly-haired young man had a bit of sarcasm in his words, and pointed out bluntly: "Your work is really good, so we give you the price of 50 words per 1,000 words, and we are all 10 to 30 words for ordinary newcomers, don't you forget, your book can't be published in the mainland, if you can't even sell the traditional copyright, won't the million words you worked so hard to write be in vain?"

Li Qing snorted and stirred the coffee.

In fact, he also knows the rules here, a work, traditional Chinese publishing can get 50 words per 1,000, which is indeed the top among newcomers.

But Li Qing clearly knows the value of "Looking for Qin", let alone 50 words per 1,000, even if it is 500 words per 1,000, he doesn't care about it.

Therefore, as soon as he heard the offer of the curly-haired youth, Li Qing put on a smile and did not say anything.

In fact, he no longer has the desire to negotiate in his heart.

As soon as Shi Wen saw Li Qing's expression, she knew that this little handsome guy was not satisfied with the price, she subconsciously felt that this Qinglian Sword Immortal was a little ignorant, the price of fifty thousand words, even the average old author's new book, may not have this price!

"If you are willing to provide a follow-up outline of "Xun Qin Ji", I will give you a price increase as appropriate. ”

Shi Wen pondered: "Or let's sign a contract first and publish two volumes to see how the market reacts?"

"I think it's better to forget it. ”

Li Qing took a sip of coffee, breathed a long sigh of relief, smacked his lips, and then said, "This price is too low." ”

Shi Wen was stunned, and then she was a little annoyed, and her voice raised a little: "Then how much do you think your book is worth?"

"The minimum is one or two thousand words...... Li Qingyun said lightly.

As soon as this sentence came out, Shi Wen was immediately petrified, one or two thousand words......

Seemingly...... Even she, the deputy editor-in-chief of Xinchang Publishing House based in the mainland, has only the pricing power of 500 words per 1,000 words......

Even in the headquarters, there are very few authors who can reach a thousand words and a thousand words, and it can even be said that they basically do not exist.

"Arrogance!"

The short and fat young man was furious, couldn't hold back any longer, slapped the table, and said sarcastically: "I said buddy, you didn't wake up, did you? 1,000 words 12,000? Why don't you say 1,000 words 120,000?"
