He finished reading the ten chapters of the book.
Jin Yong did not show any special reaction. Instead, he handed the paper to Wu Jingnian.
After Wu Jingnian finished reading it, he felt that this little book was very creative and should have a market. However, he put the paper back on the table without batting an eyelid.
"Mr. Cha, Chief Editor Wu, what do you think of this novel?”
Gu Mingxuan asked.
"Little Friend Gu's new works are decent, but the plot is a little vulgar."
This was Jin Yong's evaluation.
"The plot is a little too much, but it should have a certain market,"
Wu Jingnian said.
"Are you interested in Ming Pao?"
Gu Mingxuan could tell that Wu Jingnian was very interested, but Jin Yong's attitude was a little ambiguous.
"We can try to serialize it. If the effect is not good, we can take it down in time... As for the reward…"
Jin Yong looked at Gu Mingxuan and asked,""I wonder if little friend has finished writing this 'Journey to the Ancient Qin Realm'? If he didn't, how many words did he plan to write?”
"To be honest, I haven't finished writing this novel yet. I plan to write 1.5 million words."
Gu Mingxuan paused for a moment before continuing,""And I don't plan to ask for any compensation either. It's still the same condition as before!”
Wu Jingnian wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
Jin Yong closed his eyes and pondered for a while.
"Little friend, can you tell me what Gu Ji does?”
Jin Yong suddenly opened his eyes.
"Our Gu Ji is temporarily making pastries!”
Gu Mingxuan said as he placed the box that he had brought over on the table."Mr. Cha, Editor Wu, these are the peanut candies, wife cakes, and pineapple buns in our shop. Please try them
."”
Jin Yong picked up the pineapple bun and took a light bite. After chewing a few times, his eyes widened.
People in Xiangjiang had always loved to eat pineapple buns, and Jin Yong was no exception. However, Jin Yong swore that this was the best pineapple bun he had ever eaten in his life.
After Wu Jingnian took a bite of his wife's pancake, he also couldn't put it down and quickly finished it.
"Why is this pineapple bun so crispy inside?”
Jin Yong was puzzled.
"Mr. Cha, this is because this pineapple bun has been baked twice. After the first time, I covered it with another layer and continued to put it in the oven. "That's why you feel that there are layers when you eat it. You feel that it's very crispy inside,"
Gu Mingxuan explained.
"Haha, I didn't know that you're not only a novelist, but also a gourmet. If such delicacies were published in Ming Bao, it wouldn't be considered a disgrace to Ming Bao.
Jin Yong's words basically meant that he had agreed to publish the advertisement of Gu Ji.
The next step was to discuss the details and the length of time.
Jin Yong did not avoid Gu Mingxuan at all. In front of Gu Mingxuan, he started discussing softly with Wu Jingnian beside him.
Five minutes later.
"Little friend, Old Wu and I have discussed it and thought of a way that neither side will suffer losses. Now, I'll let Old Wu tell you.”
As the leader of Ming Pao, Jin Yong naturally had to consider everything for Ming Pao. He could not harm the group's interests just because he admired Gu Mingxuan.
Gu Mingxuan looked at Wu Jingnian.
"Mr. Gu, it's like this. We'll serialize your 'Sword of the Yue Nu' in Ming Pao first. We'll serialize 3000 words a day. During the serialization period, Ming Pao will take out half of the page to help you advertise 'Gu Ji.' After 'Sword of the Yue Maiden' was completed,'Journey to the Qin Dynasty' was the same, but..."
Wu Jingnian suddenly changed the topic."During the period of 'Xun of the Qin Dynasty's serialisation, if Ming Pao's sales decline or the rate of increase becomes slow, then Ming Pao has the right to decide whether to continue the serialisation of' Xun Qin Zhili'.. Once Ming Pao decided not to serialize "Quest of Qin" anymore, they would naturally not help Mr. Gu advertise "Gu Ji" for free!”
After saying that, Wu Jingnian asked,"I don't know Mr. Gu. Do you accept these terms?"”
"Of course!"
Gu Mingxuan did some mental calculations. Sword of the Yue Maiden had 20,000 words, which meant that it would last for seven days.
"Quest of Qin" had 1.5 million words and could last for 500 days.
Gu Mingxuan had never considered the idiotic question of how 'Quest for Qin' would drag down Ming Pao's sales.
Five hundred days later, the series of "The Story of the Qin Dynasty" was completed. By then, he would probably have become a well-known author in the local area. If he published another novel, all the major newspapers would be fighting to advertise for him.
Was this the legendary unlimited advertisement bombardment?
In this era where online media was almost non-existent, Gu Mingxuan still valued the newspaper's advertising ability.
Seeing that everything was settled, Jin Yong was ready to leave. The reason why he was wearing a suit was because there were still things waiting for him to deal with at the company.
However, before he left, Jin Yong praised Gu Mingxuan."Miss Hu, you're really discerning!”
After sending Jin Yong off, Mingxuan and Wu Jingnian discussed for half an hour before they finalized all the terms of the contract.
Before he left, Wu Jingnian did not forget to take the remaining wife biscuit in the box with him.
It could be seen that he had really fallen in love with this pastry.
Gu Mingxuan looked thoughtfully at the remaining peanut candy and pineapple bun in the box.
It seemed that they had only ordered a pot of Tieguanyin today!
Even pastries?
At this thought, Gu Mingxuan suddenly had an excellent idea!
