Chapter 143 You are so cruel
Yao Yi has always had a strong sense of time. He said that in twenty minutes, he was almost inseparable from the tenth.
Eighteen minutes later, he appeared downstairs of Shangjing Literature and Art Office, "Brother Qian, what is the situation?"
Qian Yi felt a little uncomfortable on his face, "I showed your manuscript to my boss. They also thought it was very good, but they still felt that 100,000 copies were too high."
Yao Yi refused to comment, "It's okay, business is just for negotiation."
"Also, my leader said that it is not impossible to say 100,000 copies, but the publisher takes too much risk, so he asked to lower your royalties to 12%.
"oh?"
Yao Yi exclaimed lightly, but her heart was already bright.
This situation is the same as he guessed. As long as he is not a blind man or a fool, he can always see the value of "Word Deduction Method".
They have already let go of the 100,000 volumes, and it is impossible for them to just take Qian Yi's face. They can also have a premonition that this book can be sold out.
They want to suppress royalties because they are aiming at the share of the profit after the big sale.
Businessmen are instinct to pursue profits, and Yao Yi can understand the decision-maker's ideas.
It is true that the possible benefits of publishing this book are nothing to him. The royalties changed from eighteen to twelve, and the funds involved were only about one hundred thousand.
He may not care about the money, but as a businessman, he cannot tolerate the money that should have been taken away by others.
"It's okay, go up and talk to the editor-in-chief, are you talking to the editor-in-chief?"
Yao Yi had already made plans in her heart and still said with a smile.
Qian Yi nodded.
Yao Yi knew that he hadn't finished speaking, but he didn't ask.
When the two of them got on the elevator, Qian Yi's face was gloomy and hesitated for a while. Finally, he gritted his teeth and lowered his throat, "That Yao Yi, your manuscript has been copied. If the negotiation is not completed, I will grab the copy for you. The matter is like this, I'm sorry, I let you down the trust."
Yao Yi laughed and patted Qian Yi on the shoulder, "It's okay, this is not a problem."
"ha?"
Five minutes later, Xiang Wannan and Liu Wende looked at the young man in front of him, and their mood was quite complicated.
They just wanted to scare Qian Yi, but they didn't expect that this guy's butt was so rude. Is it because he invited the original author here to show off and overturn the table?
The two old fairies were a little amused and crying. We just deliberately changed the stapling needle and didn't really copy it. Qian Yi, why are you so aloud?
Xiang Wannan looked at Qian Yi's dark lips and his gaze was firm, and guessed his mood.
Yes, this capable general is afraid that he will stop if he cannot reach an agreement.
He might have thoughts in his mind that if his immediate boss is such a person, it would be boring to stay here.
Liu Wende's old face turned a little red. He admired Xiao Qian because of his personality, but he didn't expect that he and Lao Xiang would become villains.
Also, this author named Yao Yi is so young?
His writing is completely different from the style that people of this age should have.
His thinking is quite imaginative, but his control of words is extremely sophisticated. The words and sentences between the lines exude the charm of returning to nature, and people who have no experience cannot write it.
"Hello, Editor Liu, hello to the manager. My name is Yao Yi, and I am the author of "Word Deduction Method"."
Yao Yi smiled and greeted the two of them, neither humble nor arrogant, calm and composed, without any sluggishness of ordinary newcomers when facing the editor-in-chief and the general manager of the publishing house.
"Hello Yao Yi, you are really younger than I thought."
Liu Wende praised.
Xiang Wannan made a gesture of invitation and signaled everyone to sit down on the sofa to talk, but he also said, "Since ancient times, heroes have produced young people, but there are talents in the country who have produced them."
"I dare not take it, but I dare not take it. The editor-in-chief of your society has conveyed it to me. I personally insist on the previous three requirements, print 100,000 copies for the first time, and the royalties will be available within three months."
He didn't say anything tough, but his expression was as calm as usual, as if he was talking about a trivial matter like eating and drinking soup.
Xiang Wannan and Liu Wende looked at each other, and they felt a little unhappy.
I said you are too difficult to deal with!
No one like you? You can just open your mouth and have no room for anything to go back. Why are you so crazy?
Yao Yi looked calmer at this time, but in the eyes of the two old fried dough sticks, she seemed more arrogant and inevitably made people dislike it.
Xiang Wannan directly rejected it, "Impossible, your book is good, but it has not been tested by the market. You are also unfamous in the textbook publishing industry. It is almost impossible for the distribution channel to accept the first print of 100,000 volumes! The risks we have to bear are too great! Unless..."
Yao Yi interrupted Xiang Wannan's words, "It's okay, I guarantee 50,000 of these 100,000 copies. If I can't sell it, I will buy back all 50,000 copies at a cost price. Well, I will invest in my personal investment."
As soon as he said this, Xiang Wannan, Liu Wende and Qian Yi looked at each other, laughing and crying.
Qian Yi quickly advised: "Yao Yi, don't joke, this is at least 700,000, not a small amount!"
After being stunned, Liu Wende couldn't help laughing, "Yao Yi, it's a good thing for young people to have vitality and ambitions, but there's no need to spend their whole life trying to do this. Really, we'll be optimistic about your book, but publishing it always has to take certain risks. This risk is still affordable to our unit, but for individuals, the gamble of 700,000 yuan is really an exaggeration."
Xiang Wannan said, "Forget it, Yao Yi, otherwise we will do this. Let's print it according to the first 50,000 volumes for now. I will focus on your matters. As long as the sales meet the standards in the first week, we will print it in advance. 700,000 yuan can buy a house of 100 square meters in our Shangjing. After all, you are just born in society. Don't mess around like this, your family will not agree."
He still gave some face a little, but in fact he didn't believe that Yao Yi could really give out 700,000, just because it was a Haikou that was praised by her emotions.
Yao Yi asked back, "Do you think I'm joking?"
The three of them were silent, it was really hard to expose this matter in person.
Yao Yi pointed at himself, "My name is Yao Yi."
"Yes, we know."
Xiang Wannan nodded repeatedly.
"Yao Qi's Yao is a rich and elegant dress."
"Well……"
Qian Yi and the other two were a little confused.
"Yao Qi from Yao's Group."
Yao Yi added another sentence.
"Oh! I know, I know! Mr. Yao! The tall buildings over there are only Yao's headquarters, and you can see them every day. At the National People's Congress meeting last year, I also heard Mr. Yao's speech in the audience."
Xiang Wannan looked back and looked away. About a few hundred meters away, the Yao family headquarters building was emerging from the center of Shangjing, which was full of tall buildings.
"Yes, my father is Yao Qi."
Yao Yi continued to speak quietly.
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became very strange, shocked, unbelievable, and a little... funny.
Yao Yi was a little familiar with this situation. Last time he told Li Zhihua and Yu Weiwen that he had revealed his identity on the spot, the two of them didn't believe it at all.
He shrugged slightly, "Maybe you think I'm joking, but that's the truth. This is my bank card, this is my cell phone."
After saying that, he took out his bank card and mobile phone and placed it on the coffee table.
The other three people couldn't understand what he was going to do.
"Now I'll check the balance, you can take a look."
After saying that, he used his mobile phone to send a "cxye" text message to the bank.
Nowadays, mobile banking SMS notifications are not fully popular, but high-end users like the Yao family have begun to enjoy this nearly private customization service.
Ten seconds later, the text message came back.
Yao Yi pressed the touch screen and the phone on the coffee table showed the content.
Nothing else matters, what matters is the extremely dazzling line of words on it.
"Account balance is 7723156.17 yuan".
It was originally eight million, but after buying Passat, there were so many left.
The sound of sucking in the air came one after another, and the scene was once very awkward.
Even Xiang Wannan, who had a good annual income, had never seen such a large number in his personal bank card that he could only make sure that he was not dazzled. He counted the single digits of the numbers in his mind again.
That's right, it's just seven digits!
Mom! More than 7.7 million!
The 700,000 he was going to use to cover was only a fraction of it!
Xiang Wannan thought of the dozens of floors of the Yao family headquarters in his mind, and the warm smile that Yao Yi had on his face from beginning to end, but his feet were soft and his face was even hot and hot.
He was not slapped in the face, but was just shy.
We repeatedly emphasized to each other how amazing a 700,000 is. I always thought I was exquisitely considerate and used a house as an example.
But he is the baby son of Shangjing’s largest real estate leader!
Yao Yi spoke again, "But my guarantee means I also took the risk, so I want to increase the royalty to 22%, right?"
Xiang Wannan's face was all white.
Is this how rich people talk about business? They have strong financial resources that can ignore all agreed rules, and once they show their fangs, they will have to chew a bite of flesh and blood from others!
You are so cruel, Yao Yi!
