At noon the next day, a black Mercedes-Benz G-Class slowly drove into the parking lot of the small courtyard in the ancient city.
This was Tong Liya's car, so the driver was naturally Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu didn't expect that this girl, who looked weak, would have a domineering heart when choosing a car.
The two of them got out of the car. Tong Liya wore a mask and sunglasses, following Ye Qiu in a low-key manner.
Gucheng Courtyard was a relatively low-key private restaurant in the capital. It had a long history. It was said that the owner's ancestors were imperial chefs and were famous for all kinds of imperial dishes.
When Ye Qiu and Tong Liya entered, the waiter from the small courtyard in the ancient city greeted them."Sir, Madam, welcome to the small courtyard in the ancient city. May I ask if you have a reservation?”
"I have a reservation. Room 8!" Ye Qiu smiled.”
"Please follow me!"
Ye Qiu and Tong Liya followed behind the waiter and quickly arrived at the entrance of Room 8.
The waiter pushed open the door and entered. The man and woman sitting inside stood up immediately.
The man was in his forties. He had a thin face and wore black-rimmed glasses. He had a refined aura.
The woman's face was slightly plump, and her facial features were more pleasing to the eye. She was about 27 or 28 years old.
The moment they saw Ye Qiu, the two of them were shocked.
The woman was a little excited.”
Ye Qiu smiled and nodded.”
The woman and the man looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
Obviously, none of them had expected the author of " Those Incidents in the Ming Dynasty " to be such a young man.
However, they quickly came back to their senses. The woman was the first to extend her hand and smile."Teacher Ye, hello. I am Li Zhixin, the chief editor of Huaqing Press. This is our president, Yu Donghua.”
"President Yu, Editor Li, hello.”
Ye Qiu shook hands with Yu Donghua and Li Zhixin.
Yu Donghua smiled." Teacher Ye, I didn't expect you to be so young. I thought that the person who could write such a monumental work like 'Those Things in the Ming Dynasty' was an old scholar!" Heroes really come from young people!"
"President Yu, you flatter me." Ye Qiu said.
Yu Donghua smiled." Don't mention it. Come, Teacher Ye, please sit."”
The four of them sat down in the private room one after another.
Yu Donghua continued," Teacher Ye, thank you very much for giving our Huaqing Publishing Firm the opportunity to discuss a collaboration with you. When we communicated online previously, we gave the condition of 10 million yuan plus 15% royalties. However, in order to show our sincerity, we have decided to raise the minimum price to 12 million yuan. What do you think?”
Before going out today, Yu Donghua and the senior management of Huaqing Press held a special discussion. They felt that the price of 10 million yuan was not enough.
In order to prevent any problems with the negotiations, Huaqing Press finally raised the price to 15 million plus 15% royalties. As long as it was within this range, Yu Donghua could make a decision.
Therefore, the 12 million that Yu Donghua had offered was just a test.
……
At this moment, Tong Liya, who was sitting beside Ye Qiu, was completely stunned.
Actually, she had felt that something was wrong from the moment she entered the private room.
She had thought that Ye Qiu would be discussing a collaboration with Huaqing Press today and that it would be a small editor.
After all, if Ye Qiu wanted to publish a book, he had a favor to ask of the other party.
However, she had never expected that Huaqing Press would be a combination of president and editor-in-chief, and they would call Ye Qiu Teacher Ye.
The enthusiasm he showed towards Ye Qiu had completely exceeded Tong Liya's imagination.
Schrodinger raising cats?
Those Things in the Ming Dynasty?
A minimum of 12 million?
What was this?
Even though they weren't in the same circle, Tong Liya was clear that in the real world, to be able to offer such a price meant something.
The problem was, when did Ye Qiu become a writer?
Wasn't he a singer and director?
Tong Liya was dumbfounded.
Ye Qiu didn't care about Tong Liya's thoughts. He took a sip of tea and smiled."President Yu, there's no problem with this price, but I have a condition.”
"What condition?"
Yu Donghua was slightly stunned.
Ye Qiu smiled." President Yu, my job is to be a director. I have a movie that will be released soon. I hope to work with your publishing firm to promote it. You guys promote my book, and I'll promote my movie!”
"You're a director? Joining forces to promote?"
Yu Donghua was stunned.
At this time, Li Zhixin, who was sitting next to Yu Donghua and had been silent all this time, suddenly said,""Teacher Ye, can I ask you a question?”
"What is it?"
Li Zhixin stared at Ye Qiu without blinking."Are you the Little Brother Hutaoli who was especially popular on the Internet some time ago?”
"Am I that famous?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.”
"It really is you!"
Li Zhixin's face revealed an extremely surprised expression as she said,""Teacher Ye, I thought you looked familiar when I saw you just now. I'm your fan. I especially like your 'Fake Monk.' I listen to it a few times almost every day…"
Yu Donghua looked at Li Zhixin blankly and said,""Zhixin, what little brother in the walnut?”
"President, wait a moment. I'll show you a video…" Li Zhixin smiled.
As she spoke, she picked up her phone and quickly found a clip of Ye Qiu singing on the Internet. She chose to play it and the song sounded,
I want to walk from south to north, I want to walk from white to black, I want people to see me, but they don't know who I am...
The video wasn't very clear, but one could tell that the person singing on stage was Ye Qiu.
Li Zhixin said," This song is Teacher Ye's original song. He sang it at a music bar in Hengdian. It was recorded and posted online. It was even forwarded by the top five actresses. It directly occupied the top ten trending searches that day…"
As she spoke, Li Zhixin felt that something was wrong. She suddenly turned her gaze to Tong Liya, who was sitting beside Ye Qiu."Teacher Ye, this is…"
At this moment, Tong Liya took off her sunglasses and mask. She looked at Ye Qiu playfully, then smiled at Li Zhixin and said,"Hello, I'm Tong Liya! Ye Qiu's friend…"
"Ah…Yaya, it's really Yaya!”
Li Zhixin's scream rang out again in private room number eight.
……
After a long time, the room fell silent again.
Yu Donghua looked at Ye Qiu with a smile and said,"Director Ye, Huaqing Press is willing to purchase the guaranteed copyright of 'Those Incidents in the Ming Dynasty' at a minimum price of 15 million yuan and 15% of the royalties…"
Ye Qiu smiled and said," I don't have any objections to the price, but the specific publicity matters will be discussed between your publishing firm and Jiahang Media!"”
Yu Donghua smiled." No problem, Director Ye. I'll get the waiter to serve the dishes. Let's talk while eating."”
