Chapter 174 Pei Yue
After reading the letter, Gu Hongxue asked Comrade Tian Shao to show him the comic book. Li Qiao recommended him in the letter, so Gu Hongxue couldn't wait to read this book. You must know that the teacher is the most strict, and he will never recommend a book that is not a good one.
Tian Shao held the comic book with both hands.
Gu Hongxue is engaged in publishing, so he knows the market very well. After reading Tian Shao's comic book, Gu Hongxue asked excitedly: "Tian Shao, your book is very interesting, and it will definitely be popular when it is published."
He is in this business, and the books on the market are all rigid, but this comic book by Tian Shao is humorous and interesting. Not to mention children, even adults will like it.
Tian Shao was also very happy, he hesitated and asked: "Mr. Gu, how much can you pay for this book?"
Gu Hongxue was also embarrassed, and said: "Our newspaper office used to accept articles and books, and this is the first time we accept comics. The amount of manuscript fees to be paid must be reported to the president first, and then we can discuss and decide together."
It is impossible for one person to decide on such a big event.
Tian Shao was not surprised. In this special era, it is normal for few people to draw comics. Even she was terrified today. She thought for a while and said, "Mr. Gu, I want to get the royalties. I don't want too much, just ten percent."
Gu Hongxue was a little surprised, and said: "The general price of a villain book is between 10 and 20 cents, and 10 percent is 1 to 2 cents. Tian Shao, I can assure you that your manuscript fee will not be low. At 50. But if it is converted into royalties, you have to sell 5,000 copies to get 50 yuan."
Tian Shao did not change his decision, and said: "Teacher Gu, I still hope to get royalties. If I sell more, it means that my book is liked by everyone; if it sells less, it means that the book is not good. I have to reflect and write more interesting books in the future. Come."
She is going to write a series, one book costs 10 cents, and if she writes 12 books, it will cost 1.20 cents. The serialized books are very popular, Tian Shao thinks it is more cost-effective to get royalties.
Seeing that her attitude was very firm, Gu Hongxue didn't try to persuade her anymore, saying that she would tell President Pang about it. As for whether it will be successful, it depends on President Pang's attitude and the thoughts of other leaders.
"Knock-knock-knock..."
Someone knocked on the door, and Tian Shao took out an address and a phone number with a pen: "Mr. Gu, I'm working in Yongning County Textile Factory now, and I can send letters directly here in the future. This number is from the Personnel Department. If you have any urgent matters, you can call .”
It is impossible for Gu Hongxue to come to her for something urgent, but Li Qiao is not sure, but she thinks that she may not need it in a short time.
Gu Hongxue solemnly put the note in his briefcase. Although it is impossible to contact the teacher directly, Tian Shao can still know the teacher's situation at any time. The things he had been worrying about in his heart were resolved, and his whole body relaxed.
When Tian Shao was going out, he ran into Pei Yue by chance. She thought for a while and said, "Is there that kind of poison, which is colorless, odorless, and has low volatility, and then enters the body through breathing to make people poisoned unconsciously. But after a long time, it evaporates again, so you can't find it. "
Pei Yue shrank his pupils and asked, "Where did you hear that?"
This is true, Tian Shao glared at him and said: "Of course I read it in the book, but poison can be improved, maybe those bad guys can innovate!"
Pei Yue thinks that Tian Shao mentioned three possibilities, which can be regarded as a new way of thinking. Sure enough, he has a rich imagination to write novels.
Pei Yue stretched out his hand and said, "Let's get to know each other formally, my name is Pei Yue."
Tian Shao didn't reach out, waved his hand and said, "I hope we won't meet again in the future, I'll be scared to death if I do it again."
Seeing the drastic change in Tian Shao's attitude before and after, a smile flashed in Pei Yue's eyes, this girl is really interesting.
Li Aihua has been waiting in the gate box. She just wanted to call Li Yuan but was not approved, and she wanted to enter the publishing house to find Tian Shao, but was also rejected. Really anxious like ants on a hot pan.
Seeing Tian Shao, Li Aihua rushed over and pulled her: "Xiao Shao, how are you, Xiao Shao, are you okay?"
Seeing her anxious look, Tian Shao felt a little guilty. He should have come out to talk to Li Aihua before talking to Mr. Gu about the book: "Sister Aihua, I'm fine, it's all a misunderstanding."
Li Aihua relaxed when he heard it, and then looked at Pei Yue who was beside him and said, "It's fine, let's go back!"
"good."
Li Aihua dragged Tian Shao away from the publishing house as if there was a scourge behind him.
Pei Yue watched their backs disappear before turning around and walking back.
Getting on the bus, Li Aihua watched as no one was chasing after her, and leaned on the chair to pant heavily, causing several people on the bus to look at her. Alas, half my life was really scared away today.
Tian Shao said guiltily: "Sister Aihua, I scared you, I'm sorry!"
Li Aihua waved his hand and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, but let's not come here again, it's too scary. If you want to publish your book, let's go to the publishing house in the district to do the same."
Tian Shao said with a smile: "Sister Aihua, don't worry, the book has already been negotiated. The editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Teacher Gu, likes my book very much, and said that it can be published after the editor has finished proofreading."
Li Aihua was surprised and delighted, grabbed Tian Shao's arm and asked: "Is what you said true? The newspaper really agreed to publish your book?"
Confirmed that this is true, Li Aihua was so happy that he hugged Tian Shao and shouted that it was great. After hearing her words, the people in the carriage understood why they were so excited.
Tian Shao patted her lightly, and whispered: "Sister Aihua, everyone is watching us! Let's talk about it after we get off the bus."
When getting out of the car, Li Aihua looked at the unfamiliar place and was a little confused, not knowing where it was. I was so nervous just now that I didn't know which car to take.
Tian Shao explained: "It's only 11:30, let's go to the state-run restaurant in Changxi for dinner first, and then go to the old gentleman to see a doctor and get medicine. Tomorrow, we can go shopping."
She thought it would be troublesome to publish the book, but she didn't expect to ask her to go back and wait for the news without even preparing a contract. Of course, Tian Shao, whom Mr. Li introduced, is also trustworthy. In addition, due to the general environment, it's okay without a contract, and I won't be greedy for her manuscript fees anyway.
Li Aihua became interested when she heard about shopping, and said: "My sister-in-law in the lobby works in a department store. Let's go to the place where she works tomorrow. Maybe we can buy something good!"
Tian Shao shook his head and said, "I can't afford the expensive things in the department store, so don't go."
Li Aihua said in a low voice: "Their department store also has many defective products, and the prices are much cheaper than those displayed on the counter. If you need it, you can buy it. If you don't need it, let's not buy it. It should be an eye-opener."
Seeing her high spirits, Tian Shao didn't refuse anymore. She didn't have anything to buy, but she couldn't stop Li Aihua from spending, right?
