Xia Qiu felt like a piece of fat meat on a meat stall, but others could only pay the price of a catty of cabbage for a catty of meat. in the end, it is still
He was young and not famous. It seemed that no one was willing to take the risk of 60 yuan per 1,000 words.
"Chief Editor Xu, what do you think of this book? How does it compare to Ni Kuang's book?”
"Your book is indeed well written. To be honest, I like it very much. It's not inferior to Ni Kuang's novels in terms of brilliance, but the business is good.
It's a business deal. It's impossible to offer such a high price of 60 yuan per thousand words. Xiao Xia, I'm not bragging, but the entire Hong Kong is not worth it.
To be able to offer such a price, this was the rule of the industry. Every newcomer had to experience it.”
"Chief Editor Xu, since you've put it this way, let's change the method. What do you think? Start with 400,000 words, 30 per thousand words.
If it sold well well, you can add another 80 yuan per 1,000 words. If no one reads it by then, you can directly withdraw it.”
Chief Editor Xu thought for a while before saying,"Your method is very good. There has never been such a contract before.
I'm willing to sign such a contract, but there are family rules and industry rules. If I sign it like this, I'll be breaking the industry rules.
Hong Kong is so small. If you break the rules of the industry, you will be attacked by a group of people. Besides, if all the authors think like you in the future, we will report it to you.
The profits of the club would be greatly reduced, which was not cost-effective in the long run.
Xia Qiu had nothing to say after hearing this. She sighed and said,""Chief Editor Xu, 35 yuan is really not something I can accept.
Alright, you take a step back, I'll take a step and a half. 45 yuan, no more, no less. If you can't agree to this 45 yuan,
Then let's not talk about it. Trust me, you guys got a great deal with this 45 yuan.
Chief Editor Xu thought for a while and flipped through the book for a while before saying,"The risk is very high, but how can there be no business?
Those who take the risk, 45 yuan it is. Let's bet once."
"Deal." Xia Qiu didn't know that the reason why she agreed to this price was because the owner of Sing Tao Daily had just changed.
If Chief Editor Xu wanted to show off in front of the new boss, he had to do things that others did not dare to do easily.
When Xia Qiu came out of the Sing Tao Daily, her bag was already filled with cash. These were the royalties, after deducting taxes.
There was still 70,000 Hong Kong dollars. It was all cash. Xia Qiu had requested it because it felt comfortable. Originally, it was impossible to give Xia
Qiu had paid off so much of the royalties, but Xia Qiu was in a hurry to use the money. If she didn't pay up, she wouldn't sign the contract. Chief Editor Xu had no choice but to hurry.
After giving Xia Qiu the royalties, he was afraid that there would be problems with the copyright in the future because Xia Qiu was too young. He was very suspicious of whether this book was the right one.
He wrote it, so he signed a contract with a high penalty. If Xia Qiu broke the contract, he would have to pay the penalty.
Xia Qiu's idea was to never submit novels to these newspapers again. It was simply selling them at a low price. Even if she became famous in the future...
A novel couldn't earn much money. No wonder the later generations called online writers as wordwriters. This was really the case.
After an entire day, when he went to the author's backstage, he was stunned. The money he received from the author's work was not even enough to buy a lighter, let alone cigarettes. found
He ordered some food in a small restaurant and ate slowly. He was thinking about how he would be able to earn tens of thousands of yuan.
He also wanted to find a nanny for Nancy as soon as possible. He had wanted to find one for a long time, but he didn't have enough money at that time. In the future, he would have more free time if he had a nanny to do the laundry and cook.
"Stop right there, you mainland brat. I've been looking for you for days. You dare to sell me fake things?”Really in deep thought
Xia Qiu was interrupted by the shout. She looked out and saw a group of people surrounding a few people, punching and kicking them. This kind of thing happens every day in Hong Kong
Xia Qiu didn't mind that it had happened, but the word 'mainlander' made Xia Qiu look at the people lying on the ground.
However, she realized that there was a familiar face lying on the ground. Wasn't that Brother Yuanchao? From these curses
It turned out that this Yuan Chao was selling fake antiques with a few other people who had also smuggled in. It was just like how people in the future would see fake antiques on the streets.
They pretended to be pitiful and sold their ancestral items. Now, many people who came here illegally could only sell some of their belongings because they could not survive.
Li Yuanchao and the others could really deceive many people who were greedy for benefits with this method, but today was clearly luck.
It was not good enough and was found by the previous victim.
'Looks like Brother Yuanchao is going to die here today,' Xia Qiu thought to herself.
He actually stabbed a few big holes, and blood was left all over the ground. He estimated that this Yuan Chao should be a leader. Otherwise, he would have sold fake antiques back then.
Or perhaps he had made some kind of life-threatening promise to the victim. Otherwise, why would others only get beaten up, but he did?
Knife. Xia Qiu wouldn't care about these things. Since he came to Hong Kong to fish for the world, he had to bear the consequences of fishing for the world. Moreover, this aid to Korea wasn't
It was a good thing. Xia Qiu didn't even think about talking to him. Whether he was dead or alive had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, the police were already running over from afar. The sirens were also getting closer. When the victim saw the police coming, he also
They scattered in all directions and ran away cleanly. However, when they ran away, they forced the cars on the road to dodge one after another.
There was quite a commotion. Xia Qiu glanced at Yuan Chao who was lying on the ground. At this time, he was already breathing out more than he was breathing in.
After Xia Qiu finished eating, she went back with a bag of money and didn't even look at Li Yuanchao who was lying on the ground.
A glance.
That night, Xia Qiu returned to her rented place and saw Liu Qianqian watching TV alone. There was dinner on the table.
Liu Qianqian was like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law, washing Xia Qiu's clothes and cooking. She took a bowl of rice and waited for Xia Qiu to eat together.
This kind of life made Xia Qiu feel like she was at home. It was very warm. Even though he was only eight years old, his mental age added together was already
She was already in her forties.
Seeing Xia Qiu come back, she quickly took the briefcase and asked,""How was it today? Did any newspaper companies agree to serialize it?”
She had seen the hard work of the past month, so of course, she hoped that this novel could be published successfully.
"Nancy, take a look at what's in the bag.”
Liu Qianqian opened the briefcase suspiciously and was shocked by the money inside."So much money?"
"That's a lot. I regret it to death. This is simply a cheap sale. I'll never submit to a newspaper again.”Xia Qiu looked distressed.
. "Other people's royalties are 70 yuan for 1,000 words, but I only get 45 yuan after much persuasion. I'm so angry.
I'll publish and sell the novels I wrote later, and I'll earn more than ten times more than this.”
Liu Qianqian's heart ached when she heard Xia Qiu's words. She hated those news agencies."Are you still going to write in the future?"
"Of course. Not only will I write in the future, but I will also write more. I will also set up my own newspaper office and publish my novels in the future.
That's why I said that you have to read more books and come over to help me.”
"Yes, I'll listen to you. I'm already reading books on this topic.”
"That's good. Follow me to conquer the world in the future. Since you're in Hong Kong, you have to make a name for yourself.
If I promise to raise you into a great beauty, of course I will let you eat well, drink well, and sleep well.”
Liu Qianqian's eyes turned red when she heard this."Why are you so good to me?"
Xia Qiu was taken aback. He had said all this unconsciously, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt like a husband who cared about his wife.
"Why do you like to cry so much? It's not easy for your skin to become smoother and fairer. You're crying and crying until wrinkles appear."
It doesn't look good like this. It seems that your mission of becoming a great beauty is very difficult to complete.”
" Slippery tongue." Liu Qianqian lowered her head and started eating, no longer paying attention to this naughty child.
Xia Qiu said to Liu Qianqian while eating,""There's 70,000 yuan in the bag. I'll give you 10,000 yuan for your family expenses first.
I have other uses for it. I plan to set up my own company and be my own boss in the future.”
"I don't want so much. If you need money, take it.”She had long stopped treating Xia Qiu as a child.
He was unusually mature. Ever since Xia Qiu wrote the Quest for Qin, she knew that Xia Qiu knew more than her. Since he said he wanted to, she would not let him go.
Money, of course, money was needed. Besides, Xia Qiu had worked hard to earn this money.
"This 10,000 yuan might not be enough. I want to hire a nanny. I usually have to write novels, and you have to learn Cantonese.
Help me organize the manuscripts. I don't have time to do anything else. Find a nanny to take care of our daily life. We're all children. Find
It's only right for someone to take care of us, but it doesn't matter. As long as you can hold on for three months, it'll be fine. When the time comes, I'll earn you a profit.
A lot of money."
