"Could you please give me a receipt... and could you tell me how to get to the No. 2 Middle School of Qingshui County?"
Geng Zhi handed the money to the cashier of the guest house, got back his letter of introduction, and asked the way.
He suddenly received "good news" at noon today. After comprehensive research in the community, it was decided that he should contact "Seven Inch Blade" to finalize the publication of "Hidden" as soon as possible.
He almost burst out on the spot after holding his breath.
[Don't you want me to wipe Feng Bo's ass? Who pulls the Baba and who eats it...]
But in the end, Geng Zhi had to bear it.
Because he really liked the book Latent, and he wanted to fight for it again.
It's just that Feng Bo played a trick and didn't tell Geng Zhi clearly about calling President Chang,
So Geng Zhi didn't know that someone from the publishing house had come to find Li Ye. When he arrived in Qingshui County, he wanted to stay first and pay a starting fee.
At the beginning of that year, when the company was on business, there was no way to "buy invoices", that is, earn some departure fees.
Gengzhi starts at noon today, and there is at least one day left tomorrow. Although the departure fee for two days is not much, it is enough for the family to eat meat twice, or improve the level of smoking this month.
However, at this time, Geng Zhi caught a glimpse of a middle-aged man wearing glasses exiting the hostel and then running away.
What's wrong with this man? Was he chased by a dog
"Take your invoice, and the No. 2 Middle School of the county will go out and turn left, and walk a mile to get there."
The waiter of the guest house handed the invoice to Geng Zhi and pointed him in the direction.
Look straight, isn't this the direction of the guy who was chased by the dog?
His heart moved for no reason.
[It's still early anyway, why don't you go to the No. 2 Middle School of the county first?]
Straightforward, he walked out of the gate to the Second Middle School of the county.
Qingshui County is located in a plain area. The streets are long and straight, and Dong Yuejin can be seen from afar because he is running out of his way.
Geng Zhi looked around, very confused.
[There is no dog chasing him!]
But the next moment, Gengzhi saw Dong Yuejin look back at him, and then he jumped up again.
"Is he looking at me?"
Honest subconsciously guessed a possibility, and unconsciously accelerated the pace.
Geng Zhi is much younger than Dong Yuejin, and Dong Yuejin in front of him has lost his temper and never abandoned him.
Seeing Dong Yuejin enter the No. 2 Middle School of the county, Geng Zhi still didn't understand. But when Liu Tou, the guard, stopped him, he cried out.
"What are you doing? Who are you looking for?"
"I'm from Dahe Publishing House. I'm looking for Li Ye."
"It's from the publishing house again. Are you with the guy in front?"
“.........”
"Nest grass"
。。。。。。。
When Dong Yuejin arrived at Class One of the second class with his mouth open and panting, Li Ye and others were holding their enamel jars. Wu Yang and Wu Yang were going to the canteen to have dinner, and the corridor outside the classroom was crowded with people.
Dong Yuejin fought against the crowd, killed Li Ye all the way, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Li Ye, I have asked the community, and your contribution fee can be increased to 8 yuan per thousand words."
Li Ye was slightly surprised. A few hours ago, it was 5 yuan, but now it has suddenly become 8 yuan. Something must have happened during this period.
Otherwise, with the office efficiency and rigid thinking in the 1980s, this would never have happened.
Since you are anxious, I am not anxious.
Li Ye smiled mildly and said, "Editor Dong, let's not rush, eat first, and talk slowly, OK?"
What a fart!
Dong Yuejin directly took out a sealed contract from his schoolbag, took out his pen and handed it to Li Ye, as if the devil had bewitched a lamb.
"Li Ye, you believe me, no one can offer a higher price than me. Your book has nearly 300000 words. As long as you sign this contract, you can get 2400 yuan of royalties in two days at most."
"Ho"
"My God, 2400 yuan!"
"What exactly did Li Ye write that he could get so much money? Does he... make no mistakes?"
"If you make a mistake, you can get 2400. You can show me how to make a mistake...."
The students crowded in the corridor were shocked. They all looked at Li Ye surrounded in the middle with their feet, feeling like they were looking at a shining money tree.
2400 yuan. In the early 1980s, several large tile houses could be built, more than a dozen bicycles could be bought, and dozens of daughter-in-law could be married
Ordinary workers earn 30 to 40 yuan a month. I don't know how many years it will take to save 2400 yuan.
The reason why Dong Yuejin said this number on the spot was that he wanted to arouse the shock of the surrounding students and hit Li Ye with a hammer.
Young people in this age, once they heard of such a large sum of money, they didn't see Venus obedient.
Of course, in conscience, as a new author of Li Ye, the price of 8 yuan per thousand words is really not low. It is only because of the insertion of Dahe Publishing House that Dong Yuejin was forced to play such a small trick.
But Li Ye is a person who has seen "big money". How could he be easily moved?
He shook his head and pointed to the students around him. "Editor Dong, look at this. It's not a talking environment, is it?"
"I......"
Dong Yuejin would like to hold down Li Ye and drag his finger now, just like Yang Bailou signing the contract of sale.
But looking at Li Ye's harmless smiling face, Dong Yuejin felt deeply powerless.
[This guy is just a slick...... No, he is a profiteer.]
"Excuse me, who... is Li Ye?"
Geng Zhi appeared at the end of the corridor, looking over the students who were crowding together and staring at the contract in Dong Yuejin's hands.
A dozen arms pointed at Li Ye in unison, and the enthusiastic classmate pointed out in unison, "He is Li Ye!"
Geng Zhi squeezed over, glanced at Dong Yuejin, held out his hand and said, "Hello, Li Ye, I'm Geng Zhi from Dahe Publishing House, and now I'm responsible for publishing your novel...."
"Another publisher? It's really rare."
The surrounding students also stopped eating, and all crowded outside the classroom to see the western scenery.
The scene of two publishing houses grabbing a student, let alone having seen it, is that they haven't even heard of it.
Li Ye asked Geng Zhi strangely, "Your publishing house, isn't Feng Bo the one who docked with me?"
Geng Zhi was bored, but he still explained: "Feng Bo just happened to answer the phone. In fact, I was responsible for it all the time."
"Oh, oh, oh," Li Ye was in a good mood and said with a smile, "Let's have dinner first. I'll treat you and talk slowly, OK!"
。。。。。
Half an hour later, in the Sheep Soup Restaurant outside the school, the three people were silent and said nothing.
Li Ye's anticipated fight didn't appear. Dong Yuejin and Geng Zhi didn't know if they had a clear understanding. Suddenly, they formed a tacit understanding and launched a "cold confrontation" with Li Ye
But how could Li Ye, a man of two generations, fail to see through this little trick?
He sipped up his mutton soup and said hello to them before leaving.
"Take your time. I'll go to class first. If you need to talk to me alone, you can talk to me together."
Geng Zhi immediately lost his temper. Judging from the way Dong Yuejin ran, he was extremely sure that Dong Yuejin would talk to Li Ye alone.
Anyway, the empty promise was free, so he opened up and said: "Li Ye, can you let me see the manuscript first? Please rest assured that our Dahe Publishing House is first-class in strength and can provide the best conditions."
Li Ye scratched his head and said modestly, "My manuscript has just been written, and I always feel that there are still some shortcomings. I'd better find some senior people to have a look at it and ask you to correct it after the final version is confirmed!"
“.........”
[Are you looking for someone to have a look? Are you going to contribute to other publishers?]
Geng Zhihen's teeth itch, and Dong Yuejin shakes his head helplessly.
There are many domestic publishing houses. Although they may not be able to provide higher conditions, they will certainly make things more complicated.
[Do you give up? Isn't it that you let others take advantage of you?]
Dong Yuejin breathed out a gloomy breath and said firmly: "10 yuan, 10 yuan per thousand words, this is the sincerity of Blue Ocean Press."
Geng Zhi looked at Dong Yuejin in surprise. Suddenly, he seemed to see a solemn and stirring warrior.
Li Ye winked and asked, "What about the print remuneration?"
[Do you still need to print the remuneration?]
Geng Zhi stares at Li Ye, and suddenly feels that Feng Bo is the perfect match for Wang Ba to match Mung Dou.
Dong Yuejin smiled and said, "I can't answer you immediately about the printing press remuneration,
But we have recently established contact with several literary media on Hong Kong Island, and can recommend your novels to them,
The royalty there is very high. If they like it, let alone thousands of dollars, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars are possible. "
"Boo, do you believe that?"
Geng Zhi sneered and pinned his face away.
Because the island city accounts for 80% of the province's export share, it is really easier to establish contact with the outside world, but how honest is that contact?
What's more, how can a novel with obvious color like "Lurk" be seen by the media on the other side of Hong Kong Island?
Not only was this honest and unbelieving, but Dong Yuejin himself didn't believe it.
But they were surprised to find that the treacherous thief unexpectedly be like...... I believe.
Li Ye's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Grass, and this kind of bully relationship, you said!
Latent is definitely not a good novel.
But I have The Story of Seeking Qin!
What kind of tomb robbing notes and ghost blowing lights do you want?
There are all kinds of abusive love novels of female frequency. Aunt Qiongyao, let's have a friendly exchange?
Five percent of every 10000 copies will be increased to 8 in 1990,
