Zhang Shuhua laughed and hit Chen Zhengyu.
"Go to hell. Who do you think you are? If you can marry Er Ya, I'll be thankful.”
"Dad, I'm leaving. Don't quarrel at home ~"
"Let's go, brat!"
August 17th, 11 PM.
Chen Zhengyu, who was wearing a white shirt and light-colored casual pants, carried a small black bag on one shoulder and strolled out of the airport lobby.
He stood at the entrance of the hall and looked up at the bright blue sky.
"Long time no see!"
Chen Zhengyu suddenly smiled, revealing his big white teeth as he muttered in his heart.
"Hahaha, I'm back!”
He took out his phone, turned it on, and sent a message to Xu Junhao.
"Haozi, I'll make a move first. Hang City will wait for you ~"
He made another call.
"Hello, I'm Chen Zhengyu. I've arrived and just left the airport lobby.”
"Yes, alright!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhengyu walked to the parking lot on the right and entered from the sidewalk.
Not far away, a black Buick Regal was parked there with its emergency lights on.
Seeing Chen Zhengyu come over, a driver in a black and white uniform got out of the driver's seat.
"Hello, Mr. Chen."
Chen Zhengyu smiled and nodded.
"Please get in the car."
The driver smiled and opened the backseat door. Seeing that Chen Zhengyu did not have any luggage, he did not open the trunk.
After getting in the car, the car left the airport and headed for downtown Hangzhou.
This was the pick-up service provided by the Grand Hyatt Hotel that Chen Zhengyu had booked online last night.
Although a five-star hotel was expensive, the service was good and the living experience was good. Anyway, he did not lack money now.
1500 yuan a day. We'll book it for three days first. We'll see how it goes later.
An hour later.
When Chen Zhengyu arrived at the hotel, he checked in at the front desk and received his room card.
Under the guidance of the waiter, she went to the hotel restaurant to eat something before finding her room.
He turned on the air conditioner and took out his phone while lying on the bed.
Her phone kept ringing in the car just now. It must be Xu Junhao.
As expected, there were missed calls, text messages, and QQ.
"Damn, you went to Hangzhou? Why didn't you wait for me? Your parents went too?”
"Dog thief, how dare you not wait for your father? Let's talk at school!”
"It's not time to report yet. Why are you going so early? Are you an idiot?"
Half an hour ago, there was another message.
"Your parents didn't go? I heard that you have something to do in Hangzhou. Why are you going to Hangzhou?“
……
Chen Zhengyu chuckled and started replying.
"The novel I wrote is about to be published, so I came over to discuss a collaboration.”
A second later, Xu Junhao replied.
"Bullsh * t, I don't believe you!"
Chen Zhengyu chuckled.
"If you don't believe me, then forget it. I'm busy. I'm going to meet Little Missy…"
After sending it out, he called the website's chief editor and said that he had arrived in Hangzhou at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
The editor-in-chief said," Okay, they'll play by West Lake. I'll meet you at the hotel later." The people from the publishing firm might not arrive until tomorrow, so they could communicate internally first.
When outsiders came to Hangzhou, 99% of them would come to West Lake to have a look.
However, Chen Zhengyu, who had lived here for more than ten years, felt that it was just that…
The so-called scenic spots and historical sites were usually not very famous.
For example, Shili Langdang, Fahai Pagoda, and Broken Bridge. He would know once he went to take a look. His cultural heritage would be increased by 80%.
The Grand Hyatt Hotel that Chen Zhengyu booked was near West Lake. The distance between the two was very close.
He estimated the time. After half an hour, he left the room and went to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
He took out his phone and sent a message to the editor, Nuannuan, on QQ, telling her the location.
Ten minutes later, two people walked into the hotel, a man and a woman.
The man was a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like a leader. He was wearing a gray t-shirt, black trousers, and a briefcase.
The woman was very young and dressed fashionably. She was wearing white silk wide-legged pants, black high-heeled sandals, and a pink silk shirt with puff sleeves. Her small waist was small.
The mountain peak above could not be seen clearly because there was a layer of lace that blocked it.
7 points for looks, 8 points for dressing, overall score 7.5.
This was his editor, Nuannuan?
She only knew that it was a girl, but she didn't expect it to be a beautiful girl.
"Nuannuan?"
Chen Zhengyu stood up and waved.
As expected, the girl turned her head and looked at Chen Zhengyu.
Her eyes immediately lit up. She stepped on her high heels and took small steps.
"Deng ~"
The wind blew as he walked.
" You're a handsome guy?!"
"Uh…"
Chen Zhengyu was a little embarrassed, but he quickly resolved it. He stretched out his hand and grinned, revealing his white teeth.
" You're just a little handsome. You must be Nuannuan. Thank you for taking care of me."
Nuannuan immediately giggled and reached out her right hand to shake Chen Zhengyu's hand.
She even said,"So formal ~"
Hmm, her small hands were quite slippery. They were white and tender. The touch was really good.
Chen Zhengyu smiled and shook hands with the middle-aged man.
"Hello, I'm Chen Zhengyu."
"Hello, young man, you're young and promising. I didn't expect you to be so handsome! Haha, I'm the chief editor of Pink Sleeves Fragrance. Lord Hua, it's a pleasure to meet you.”
According to the rules of the novel website, the editors would have a pen name, just like the author.
The three of them sat down and chatted in the reception area at the side of the hotel lobby.
Nuan Nuan started by praising Chen Zhengyu, saying that the plot was very exciting, with big ups and downs and a twist.
He asked how much he had written and when he planned to finish the book…
Of course, Chen Zhengyu couldn't say that he had already finished writing.
He smiled and said that the current plot was only halfway through. He planned to finish the 1.5 million word book and still had a little manuscript in his hands.
The two of them chatted for a while before Lord Hua began to talk about the main topic.
In the contract that Chen Zhengyu had signed with the website, there was a contract regarding the publishing of physical books.
The split between the author and the website was very simple. The copyright fee was split 50 - 50.
Therefore, the website and the author had the same interests. When discussing cooperation with the publishing firm, they would definitely have to discuss it first.
Lord Hua was experienced in this area and began to explain…
To put it simply, there were two ways to calculate the copyright fees for publishing a novel.
1. Agreed royalties: Generally from 5% to 15%.
The publishing company would pay according to the unit price of the book, the number of copies published, and the royalty ratio.
2. Buyout: Pay the author a one-time payment. The profit after the novel is published has nothing to do with the author.
Even if he earned 100 million, it had nothing to do with the author. It was a one-time deal.
Of course, these two types of copyright fees would be split 50 - 50 with the website.
After listening,
Chen Zhengyu finally understood how to publish novels. He had never come into contact with these things before.
"Boss Hua, what's your suggestion?”
"The first one is better. The purchase price is very low, so it's not easy to raise it. I'm still very optimistic about this book. It's getting a lot of feedback online at the moment, and its popularity can still rise a little.”
Chen Zhengyu smiled and nodded in agreement. He also felt that the first method was more flexible and beneficial.
He was now very confident in the book " Overbearing President Fell in Love with Me ". He didn't expect his racing skills to be so popular on the female channel. It turned out that these female hooligans liked this…
Seeing that Chen Zhengyu agreed so readily, Lord Hua was very happy. He had originally thought of an excuse.
He didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to use it anymore. He thought that young people liked to make quick money and didn't have much patience.
If he bought it out, he would be able to obtain a huge sum of money, which would have a greater psychological impact.
The agreed royalty was a long-term solution.
" Hmm, this kid is unfathomable." Chief Editor Hua Daren was very happy after reaching an agreement with Chen Zhengyu.
The three of them chatted about the book " Overbearing CEO Fell in Love with Me " for a while before they left.
Coincidentally, the hotel that Lord Hua and Nuannuan had booked was also this Grand Hyatt. Lord Hua had invited Chen Zhengyu to have dinner together.
Chen Zhengyu agreed. It was necessary to build a good relationship with the website.
He looked at the time. It was only three in the afternoon.
Chen Zhengyu did not return to his room to rest. With his current physical fitness, he would not feel tired unless he was in a special situation.
If he remembered correctly, the Vientiane City in Hang City had opened for business at this time. This was the second Vientiane City in the mainland, and it was quite large.
After leaving the hotel, he hailed a taxi and headed straight for Jianggan District's Wanxiang City.
It was past three o'clock.
In the middle of the afternoon, the road was clear and they arrived in less than half an hour.
Chen Zhengyu was familiar with this place. He had come here many times in his previous life.
Food, clothing, accommodation, food, drinks, and entertainment were all available here. They entered from the main entrance and took the elevator to the second floor.
The official flagship store of Fruit, which was simple and fashionable, came into view.
As expected, the fruit flagship store was now crowded with customers.
A large portion of them were here to buy a cell phone, while many others were here to try out the magical smartphone that had become popular around the world this year.
Let's see if it's really like the publicity, creating a new era?!
Chen Zhengyu walked into the shop and casually walked around. There were not many fruit products now.
He didn't have much choice, so he chose a white fruit 4, 32g.
It was a laptop that had just been released last month, MC024CH.
Magnesium-aluminum alloy, a one-piece outer shell. It looked beautiful and comfortable, killing all the merchants.
He chose another set of earphones.
After checking it out, he went straight to the counter and prepared to pay with his card.
The computers and earphones were still manageable, as they were in stock and had ample stock. However, the cell phone could not.
They were out of stock for the time being and would need to wait for three days before they could be transferred over.
F * ck!
Chen Zhengyu instantly felt a headache. No stock. Even if this god came, it wouldn't do.
"Xiaomei, this phone costs 5888 yuan for 32g. It's too expensive. Why don't we take a look again? Or buy a 16g one, which would be 1000 yuan cheaper.”
" But…it's really beautiful. I really like it…If you can't bear to part with it, then forget it…"
Just as Chen Zhengyu was about to leave, the conversation between a couple beside him caught his attention.
This couple looked about the same age as him. They were probably university students too.
He had seen many such scenes.
It was just that the woman wanted it, and the man actually wanted to buy it, but he didn't have money in his pocket.
It wasn't that they didn't have money. The main thing was that if they bought it, they would have to live on the northwest wind for the next few months. At most, they would only have salted vegetables and steamed buns.
In 2010, a cell phone cost 5888 yuan. It was really expensive. It could be said to be a sky-high price!
In 2010, the average monthly income in Luo City was only 1400 yuan. It was slightly higher in Hangzhou, but it was still around 2000 yuan.
He might not even be able to afford a cell phone even if he worked himself to death for two to three months…
Chen Zhengyu estimated that this 5888 yuan could be the living expenses of the boy for the next half a year.
