Chapter 153 Whether you have the effect depends on your strength(1/2)
"This Qi'an Blade, please ask your surname?"
Pei Wencong was silent for at least ten seconds before he calmly talked to the seven-inch blade on the other end of the phone again.
Although the other party's tone was very aggressive, Pei Wencong was a graduate of the University of Hong Kong after all, so he could not be as good as a gangster in Causeway Bay.
But the voice on the other end of the phone was still cold and blunt: "What's my surname? Does it have anything to do with the two conditions I just mentioned?"
""
Pei Wencong couldn't help but squeeze the phone and microphone tightly, both angry and surprised.
He didn't understand why the gap was so big that they were all "literati" from the mainland?
When Pei Wencong used to deal with Blue Ocean Publishing House, Blue Ocean Publishing House was always very polite.
Pei Wencong just spent a few hundred Hong Kong dollars to help them buy a few cutting-edge literary journals in the world, and he would receive sincere thanks.
During the recent conversation with each other, Blue Ocean has embodied "friendliness and respect" to the extreme.
If Pei Wencong makes a call, the main leader of Lanhai Publishing House will inevitably talk to him, and ordinary staff members dare not answer the answer at will.
But why is the seven-inch blade on the opposite side so hung like this?
"Then I'll call you Mr. Pei," Pei Wencong said in a humble and arrogant manner: "Sir, the promotion and release of "So Feng Yang" has just begun and has not yet reached the profit stage, so your 20% profit requirement is not valid."
"Isn't it true?" Li Ye said calmly: "How much profit did you have every month before publishing "The Flying of the Sky"?"
Pei Wencong couldn't say that before publishing "The Flying of the North Wind", his situation was very bad and he didn't have much profit.
He had no choice but to say, "This is not easy to say, and it's also a trade secret."
Li Ye did not bother him and said directly: "Then I will minus the profits you have after publishing "Shufeng Feiyang" and minus the previous profits. I want 20% of the difference between the two. Is there any problem?"
You are so smart!
Pei Wencong really admires him. Who said that the people in the north are all proletarian brothers who are kind-hearted in ancient roads? Isn’t this the same bird-like crocodiles in Hong Kong Island?
Of course, maybe it's a little better, because in the case of Pei Wencong, the capital crocodile will probably eat him directly.
"Sir, 20% is not suitable. You are just a work, and there are many other authors in our publication."
Pei Wencong finally took it seriously and put on a bargaining attitude with Li Ye.
But Li Ye said: "You think 20% is not suitable, so what about 25%?"
Pei Wencong wanted to just drop the phone.
Do you really think this is a gangster who is robbing territory? Whoever is more vicious will have the upper hand?
But now Pei Wencong needs this book "Flying the Wind", otherwise he would not dare to sign a contract with Shulian Sales, and he would lose the opportunity to turn things around.
However, Pei Wencong has been working hard in the industry for more than ten years and has seen many difficult people.
So he immediately changed the topic and said, "Sir, we have a dispute over the issue of 20% profit, so let's talk about the second issue first, okay?"
Li Ye said briefly: "Yes, but don't talk too much nonsense. I don't like to go around the corner."
Pei Wencong had adapted to Li Ye's way of speaking and said calmly: "Sir, you want me to send an invitation letter, please come to Hong Kong Island for a look. It is all about reason and reason.
However, the invitation letter is not issued casually. It takes time to apply for it. I cannot determine the specific time."
Pei Wencong just finished speaking, a puzzled question came from the other end of the phone: "Isn't three months enough for you to develop?
If you can’t sell "The Flying of the North" to the top in three months, are you still a graduate of the University of Hong Kong? At that time, what does an invitation mean?"
""
Pei Wencong finally felt surprised because the seven-inch blade opposite seemed to have guessed the popularity of "Flying the North Wind".
He didn't tell Blue Ocean Publishing House about the sales of "Flying the Wind" in the future.
Indeed, if we could sign a contract with Shulian Sales, with Pei Wencong's ability, three months would be enough to transform the Talang Literature Publishing House.
Both are taxpayers and have levels. Pei Wencong, three months later, has a different appearance from Pei Wencong now.
"Okay, sir, I will definitely get the invitation letter. Then I will take sir to appreciate the style of the Oriental Pearl and go and see Lion Mountain and Ocean Park."
Nothing can be agreed upon as soon as it comes, Pei Wencong thought it was already time to go.
He is very clear about the desire of mainlanders to come to Hong Kong.
In the past twenty years, countless mainlanders have traveled to Hong Kong Island, and are willing to enjoy the reputation of black households.
Those mainlanders who came on business trips were also full of envy and yearning for the prosperity of Hong Kong Island, and just an ocean park made them linger.
But Li Ye continued: "I am not interested in Ocean Park. I want to go to Victoria Harbor, and I also want to go to Kowloon Tong.
I want to see if there are any young people racing on Qingshan Road. I want to see if there are so many gods on the mountain. By the way, Boss Pei, you have a mansion in the mountain, right?"
If I had a mansion in the middle of the mountain, I wouldn’t say a word to you, grass!
Pei Wencong couldn't help but scolded his mother several times in his heart, so he became dirty without saying anything.
Who should be eliminated?
Who are the people living in the middle of the mountain? Will you talk to you about this kind of small business that is tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and up to millions?
But Li Ye did not wait for his answer and said, "Of course, I am most interested in the cultural market in Hong Kong. I want to visit Zhonghua Bookstore, Sanlian Bookstore, Commercial Press, Mingchuang Publishing House."
Pei Wencong listened to Li Ye's narration of "reporting for a dish". After Li Ye reported the names of more than 20 publishing houses, his calmness and superiority had long disappeared.
[It turns out that this seven-inch blade is known to Hong Kong Island. In fact, from the very beginning, he guessed that I was just a little shrimp.]
When Pei Wencong deals with Blue Ocean Publishing House, he has always maintained the style of a "Hong Kong Island Businessman".
But now he understood that this seven-inch blade had seen through his background.
There is no mansion in the Mid-mountain area and the publishing house is not famous. I dare not say that I can turn over for three months. Before I knew it, the seven-inch blade had gently picked out his scars.
Pei Wencong lamented for a second before making a decision.
"Sir, the long-distance phone bill is quite expensive. I will get you an invitation letter during the Spring Festival.
Let’s talk about profit sharing! I think 20% is reasonable.”
Pei Wencong was a little nervous. He was afraid that the seven-inch blade opposite would say something 25% or 30% of the number.
At this moment, he no longer has the bargaining chips for negotiation.
As long as someone writes a letter to Sanlian Bookstore and Commercial Press, he says that the copyright of "The Flying of the Wind" is not in the hands of Talang Publishing House. Then Pei Wencong's efforts for more than a month are to make wedding dresses for others.
Work hard to make "Flying the North Wind" famous, and then let those big fish pick peaches?
He Pei Wencong was unwilling to accept it.
As for the 20% profit raised by Qi'an Blade, you can do some work at that time
When Pei Wencong thought of this, he suddenly remembered what Li Ye said on the phone just now - don’t play tricks.
Do you want to play tricks?
Will it be more costly?
......
Li Ye hung up the phone in the Xicheng Post and Telecommunications Bureau, raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled.
He once considered that it would not be a large publisher that could have a relationship with Blue Ocean Publishing House. After all, Blue Ocean is not a cultural unit of Mount Tai Beidou in the mainland.
But unexpectedly, the other party is so weak.
Li Ye is still young, so when talking to the other party, he cannot be polite and humble, as that will only make people look down on him.
That's why Li Ye highlighted one's straightforward and decisive one's "unreasonable".
But there was no intention of resisting on the Talang Literature Society.
In other words, he didn't have the confidence to overturn the table and pull the sister over, and he didn't even have the courage to slap the table with Li Ye.
Either Pei Wencong is a little Karami who has no strength and is just a meaty person who catches mosquitoes, or he is a cunning and untrustworthy person who is ready to fail to fulfill his promises.
As for the current situation between the mainland and Hong Kong Island, it is not difficult for the other party to play tricks.
But so what?
Pei Wencong can play tricks, but Li Ye can’t play tricks?
I cut off the serialization of the novel for you halfway, and I will give you a ruthless version. I will go into the ditch without realizing it. The Hong Kong and British government may want to invite you to have tea!
Li Ye called Lan Hai Dong Yuejin again.
"Brother Dong, have you drafted the reprint contract? If you have prepared it, please find someone to send it to sign it!"
Dong Yuejin paused for a moment, and cursed with a smile: "I have already drafted it, and I'm waiting for your great writer to nod to agree! But did you expect what happened today when you signed the contract?"
It turned out that when Li Ye signed a contract with Dong Yuejin, he all indicated that it was a sales right in the mainland.
At that time, Lan Hai didn't expect that a broken book could be exported to earn foreign exchange, so he skipped it if he didn't care.
As a result, now, I have to sign a contract with Li Ye again to break down a layer of profit.
Li Ye also smiled and said, "The times are changing, and we can all look at things from a development perspective. Besides, you have also picked up this money for nothing. I just share a little bit of benefits, it's not an exaggeration."
"Brother, you can't say that," Dong Yuejin said seriously: "No matter how famous you are in the mainland, you are just an individual. Our Blue Ocean is an official unit.
