Editor-in-chief Lin was not too surprised, or disdainful, about the share-sharing cooperation that Tang Jian offered voluntarily.

After all, Tang Jian is different from other publishers. In addition to the author, he also has the star identity of a singer and an actor!

Especially now that the promotional video of the TV series "Zhu Xian" has come out, Tang Jian's popularity has begun to soar rapidly!

Such a young and handsome author also has outstanding musical talent and acting talent, no wonder he has become popular on the Internet all at once.

Traditional authors such as Xia Chi basically buy out for a thousand words when they cooperate with publishing houses, because they have no confidence in the sales of their works, otherwise normal people would not choose to buy out and get quick money unless they are particularly short of money recently.

Editor-in-chief Lin replied: "Okay, I will tell the leader that we will contact you after discussing the results. I hope we can cooperate happily!"

This is a hot commodity!

Editor-in-chief Lin hurriedly walked towards the president's office. Such an important thing was not something he could decide by the editor-in-chief.

After all, Tang Jian’s authorship is not ordinary. If you use a general agreement to negotiate, it is not certain that the other party will think that the publishing house treats him as a fool and then ignores them directly.

"President." Editor-in-chief Lin knocked on the wooden door that was not closed at the door.

The middle-aged uncle who was practicing calligraphy on white paper with a brush inside raised his head and said, "Lao Lin, what's wrong?"

Editor-in-chief Lin walked in and said, "Just the author of "Zhu Xian" just submitted a short story to us."

"Zhu Xian?" President Jin thought for a while, and then asked in surprise: "Are you talking about the online writer who quarreled with Xia Chi?"

"Yes." Editor-in-chief Lin did not tell the president Tang Jian to take the initiative to contact the publisher to discuss cooperation, and the president did not pay much attention to these gossip news on the Internet, so he didn't know that Tang Jian had contacted the publisher before.

For Tang Jian and President Jin, he also heard the quarrel between Xia Chi and Tang Jian and other online writers in the casual chat of the employees, and then he had a deep impression of the movie "Zhu Xian" film. So when he heard Editor Lin say that the author of "Zhu Xian" contributed to them, he was really surprised.

"It seems that he came for Xia Chi?" While saying that, President Jin wrote a elegant word "Zhu" on the paper.

Editor-in-chief Lin said: "Yes, he said directly that if we don't cooperate with Xia Chi in the future, then he will contribute to us. Now I have read the new books he submitted, and the quality is really nothing to say. Compared with Xia Chi's new books, it is obviously more marketable."

The word "媚" appeared on the paper. President Jin then put down his brush with satisfaction and looked up and said, "Do you think we should choose him or a hero?"

Editor-in-chief Lin is not afraid of offending Xia Chi. Although Xia Chi is their old customer and new books are submitted almost every year, it has to be said that Xia Chi has indeed finished his talent now, otherwise his new book this year would not be only sold at a buyout price of 200,000 words.

"Although Xia Chi has been working with us for nearly ten years, his works have been getting worse every year. For the sake of the future of the publisher, I suggest giving up Xia Chi."

Listening to Editor-in-Chief Lin’s suggestion, President Jin shook his head and said, “Xia Chi is our old partner. If he just gave up on him and chose his enemy, wouldn’t our publishing house bear the infamy of being unkind and unjust?”

Editor-in-chief Lin retorted: "Now because of the heroic spirit, our publishing house is also shameless insulting to jealous of online literature! In recent days, many netizens have specially purchased our physical books in online stores, and then canceled the order and applied for a refund to humiliate us, saying that they would not buy the publication of these traditional authors, and asked us if we were angry!"

"This is indeed the fault of Xia Chi. He was indeed jealous of the rise of online literature, so he said such swearing words, which aroused the conflict between traditional publishing and online literature electronics." President Jin said slowly, neither saying that he wanted to give up Xia Chi, nor saying that he wanted to choose Tang Jian.

Editor-in-chief Lin was a little anxious. For the future of the publisher, he felt that he could not miss a potential author like Tang Jian, so he urged: "President, now is not a time for nostalgia. Moreover, although Xia Chi has worked with our publisher for ten years, he may not necessarily have feelings for our publisher! Otherwise, if he causes such trouble, it will affect the sales of our publisher, he should take the initiative to say sorry to us, but he does not!"

President Jin picked up the brush and dipped it ink, and said, "Maybe he is so shameless to face us because of guilt?" As he said that, the word "tummy" was added to the blank space of the white paper.

"I don't think so! If he is really guilty, he should say sorry to us as soon as possible!" After Editor-in-Chief Lin finished speaking, he quietly watched President Jin write the word "quantity".

Tummy? Editor-in-chief Lin couldn't help but say again: "President, this is not a matter of size, but the fact is that."

President Jin dipped ink again and said, "We are doing big things. We can't be affected by this small thing. Lao Lin, you are still a little anxious! I know why you and Lao Wu have worked with Lao Wu for so many years, but I have arranged the position of editor-in-chief for Lao Wu and the position of editor-in-chief for you?"

Editor-in-chief Lin suddenly felt a little embarrassed. When the promotion result came out, he was a little unwilling to accept it, but now after hearing what the president said, he immediately understood.

Although my ability is not worse than that of Lao Wu, I am sometimes more impatient in dealing with things. It turns out that this is why I lose to Lao Wu...

President Jin continued to write calligraphy and said, "Your ability is no worse than Lao Wu. The review and the article's vision is far better than Lao Wu, but you are not stable enough. If it were Lao Wu, how do you think he would solve this situation?"

On the white paper, President Jin wrote three regular characters, Lao Tie, who is stable!

Editor-in-chief Lin seemed to have realized it all at once, and then said: "Slow down the price and let Xia Chi take the initiative to change jobs to other publishing houses."

President Jin nodded: "Tell me about the author of "Zhu Xian"!"

Editor-in-chief Lin said seriously: "The author of "Zhu Xian" is Tang Jian. He is not only an author, but also an idol singer and actor. Now his popularity is soaring rapidly. He is a star author who is very worthy of our pursuit!"

Listening to it, President Jin was a little stunned. He didn't pay much attention to the Internet. He just learned from the casual conversation between employees a few days ago that the author of "Zhu Xian" seemed to be a young man, but he didn't expect that the other party had the same identity as a singer and actor!

No wonder Lao Lin couldn't help but feel impatient. After all, if a celebrity singer publishes a book, no matter how badly he writes, his sales will be higher than most authors!

Moreover, celebrity authors are very popular for any publishing house because they are extremely well-known and have so many fans. Even if they choose a small publishing house to cooperate, they can rely on their own popularity to create publishing sales that make many authors envious and jealous!

"This is surprising. I didn't expect that the author was even involved in singers and actors!" President Jin couldn't help but write the word "ox".

Editor-in-chief Lin continued: "He submitted a short romance story, which I have reviewed. There are 110,000 words in total, and the quality is absolutely undeniable. Moreover, he not only has a huge reader base, but also has a fan base attracted by the celebrity effect. Once this is published, it will definitely be popular at that time!"

At this time, the word "pity" fell on the paper in a grand manner. President Jin stopped practicing calligraphy and said, "Does he want to buy out or share the cooperation?"

"Sharing the content." Editor-in-chief Lin replied.

President Jin thought for a while and asked, "What price do you think should be paid for him to share the money?"

"If he is divided into 7% to 14%, I think he may be disdainful and choose another publishing house. After all, he is not just an online writer, but also an actor and singer."

"Then give him a 20% share first. It depends on what he said. The biggest concession is 40%. If we exclude other expenses, we will not be able to make money."

President Jin said, this is just a simple publishing cooperation. If the other party is willing to give them the full copyright, then let alone 40%, even 80% is willing to publish. After all, publishing is just a small amount of money, and big money is a copyright cooperation for other adaptations!

"Okay, I'll contact him now to talk!"

Editor-in-chief Lin seized the time and walked out so as not to miss such a hot commodity over time!
