When Li William came to the Wang family, Wang Laoshi and Wang Er got up with Wang Er, and the little girls of Guan'er and the others were still sleeping. Last night, Miao Xiaohua asked them to sleep separately. Anyway, the room was empty, so she didn't want to go downstairs. Wang Er said, "I'll sleep on the sofa, and you guys will come to sleep on my room, but you still don't agree."

So the five little girls were not afraid of heat, so they squeezed on a bed, whispered while reading books, and didn't know when they went to bed. In the morning, Miao Xiaohua pushed the door open and saw Xiaomei's legs erect on Miaomiao's belly. Xiaobudian was lying in Guan'er's arms. Guan'er hugged Dou'er again. Dou'er felt heavy and pressed his hands against Guan'er's face, but Miaomiao held Dou'er's hand, and his posture was both weird and funny.

Miao Xiaohua whispered to the door, but before she woke them up, she went downstairs and William Li came.

"Brother Li, it's so early." Although it was strange to call her, it was Li William who asked her to call her.

"I've been in your country for several years and developed a habit."

"Brother Li, come in quickly." Miao Xiaohua was about to make tea for him again. Li William was not in the mood to drink tea. He hurried upstairs and began to negotiate directly with Wang Er.

Yesterday, Wang Jimin already talked about Wang Er's situation.

He is a very good kid. As long as you are not in the too much, you can get a successful negotiation. If you want to be greedy, don’t talk.

In his words, be more sincere and less routine. If this is not the case, William Li would not know how to complete this strange mission.

But Wang Er didn't talk to him directly, and showed him two more books. First, he translated "The Journey of the Goose" and said: "Look at the beginning of my Chinese version, and then look at the beginning of my translated English version."

William Lee looked and compared, and said happily: "Cake seller, you really gave me a big surprise."

This start will make Western readers more liked.

"Don't worry, there is another book that you are proficient in Chinese and read for yourself."

Wang Er opens the first part of "The Legend of Narnia".

These seven books are in chronological order: "The Magician's Nephew", "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", "The Horse and the Boy", "The Prince of Caspian", "The Waves of the Dawn", "The Silver Chair" and "The Last Battle".

The author himself did not write in chronological order, first "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", then "Prince Caspian", "The Waves of Dawn", "Silver Chair", "The Horse and the Boy", and then he wrote the first "The Magician's Nephew" and the last "The Last Battle".

When Wang Er was writing, he thought for a while and decided to write it in the order of the author. Therefore, the first part that William Li saw was not the nephew of the magician, but the lion, the witch and the magic wardrobe.

"It's not bad," William Lee actually looked on, but he didn't dare to look at it anymore, and he withdrew his eyes and said.

“In my mind, it is far better than the Wizard of Oz series.”

“How many?”

"Seven Divisions."

William Li thought it was a little bad, why did you let yourself see it? It was obvious, and you wanted to raise the price.

"Fifth Brother, our Green House Bookstore is the world's largest teenager and children's book publisher, and has a strong distribution channel all over the world."

"William Lee, I'm sorry to say, I can make the fairy tale king become the most circulated children's magazine in China in just a few months, and can also make a third-rate publisher a world-class publisher. It's just the language of various countries, is it difficult to learn?"

"Fifth brother, do you have language talent? Are you the main talent or creation?" The primary and secondary must be clear. You can also think about the exams when learning English. Doesn't it take time to learn other languages? With this time, you have written many novels long ago. You also went to school and junior high school. If you have this IQ, you went to junior high school. Even if Williams stayed in China for several years, he couldn't understand it.

"I mean a metaphor."

"Nevertheless, the two are still different, or like the fairy tale world, at the beginning, they don't make harsh demands, will you still cooperate with the childhood?"

That's for sure.

"If the cooperation is pleasant, of course the bigger the platform, the better. Tell me, how to cooperate?"

"How did you cooperate with Huaguo Publishing House?"

"The royalties are between 12% and 15%, and there is also an illustration fee. The simple black and white illustrations are 0.2% royalties, and the fine color illustrations are 0.4% royalties."

"In this way, like your Huaguo Publishing House, we will give you a 12% royalty, plus a 0.2%-0.4% illustration royalty."

"William Li, you're wrong. The 12% I said is just the guaranteed price given to me by the publishing house. The circulation volume reaches a certain level and will all rise. And this contract will change soon. If you come a few days later, I might hire an agent."

William Lee said he was lucky. He could have a good deal if he hired an agent, but tonight, he could not imagine that he could open champagne...

"How much did you say?"

"You must withdraw 1.5% of the 13% royalty, plus 0.2%-0.4% illustration royalty, you must withdraw 1.5% as promotional expenses."

"You don't have to worry about publicity."

"Li William, we in China have a saying, "First a villain, then a gentleman. Only by writing it on a contract can we better fulfill our promises."

"Okay." William Li was actually very happy because the company gave him the lowest limit, which cannot exceed 14%. As for the publicity fee, if the author does not require it, the company will not promote it?

"The second requirement is to pay the royalty fee of 10 million yuan in advance."

"There are no more cake sellers and deposits?"

"William Lee, I believe you have read all my books, but there are many things you haven't read, including the rest of the Ugly Duckling Fairy Tale Collection, the Wind of the Willows, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which are all heavyweight works. Not only these, there are fourteen Wizard of Oz, the seven Legends of Narnia that you just read, six to eight Anne's series, and are also preparing to write some medium and short stories. I believe you have read the promotion on Weibo, and there are more than a dozen fantasy novels such as the Blowing Dream Giant. If you don't mention other manuscripts, just these, how many novels do you have to have? How many knives are there for a book to share?"

"Fifth brother, I can't make the decision, I have to call back."

William Lee called and said on the other end of the phone: "Williams, I think we agree that there must be two conditions. The first is that these books must be written on the contract. Except for the Chinese version, the remaining versions are exclusively published by our Green House Bookstore. The second is that the subsequent conditions cannot be too excessive."

"Bosi, do you agree to such a condition?"

"Silly, just a few novels in our hands, each of which creates more than 10 million strong swords! But to mention one, you must make some modifications when translating the Adventures of the Bragging King, especially those thirteen rooms, which must be changed into one room, and you must pay attention to other aspects."

A strong country does not care about political correctness?

You promised this, and I can't blame me. Of course, I won't agree just because I got the manuscript of six or seven books in my hand. However, after William Lee reported a lot of names of books, the people at the headquarters of Green House had no idea, and ninety percent of them agreed.

"Fifth brother, why did you make this request?"

"Simple, my book is worth this price. Only if you pay enough will you pay great attention to it."

"These books must be written on the contract. Except for the Chinese version, the remaining versions must be exclusively represented by our company. Even if the English version of China is in China, we must also be represented by us."

"No problem, but you voluntarily break the contract, and I have the right to take back the exclusive agency rights."

"As long as the cooperation is pleasant, you are young and have no limits in the future, why do we have to break the contract on our own initiative?" William Lee said this, "I suddenly realized." There are really reasons for the company to be anxious. It's so powerful now, and it's great in the future. He said again: "We can't make any more demands later."

"There are only a few small requests later. I'll declare that the agency rights handed over to you are physical publishing, not other copyrights."

"certainly."

When this came, Greenhouse Bookstore was ready for the rest of the author. Why did the author fall in love with "Fairy Tale World"? Isn't it just that the fairy Tale World wants to eat away other copyright benefits from the author?

Keep talking.

For translations of other texts, 9% of the royalties must be paid for Wang Er, but Green House Bookstore must take out more than 3% of the royalties to the translator so that excellent translators can be invited to translate them into various texts.

Translation is very important, and there are not too many translations that destroy the original work.

There are other requirements and conditions, some mentioned by Wang Er. For example, if Luya Bookstore wants to modify some contents in the book, it must obtain the consent of Wang Er himself, and the illustrations of calligraphy and painting must use the illustrations of Wang Er himself, etc.

Some of them are recommended by Luwu Bookstore. Under the same conditions or the difference is not large, the books written by Wang Er in the future have priority agency rights, etc.

These are some small details. Overall, except for the deposit of 10 million in stern knives, the rest is much better than what Greenhouse Bookstore estimates.

William Lee told his boss about the negotiation results.

After a while, the contract was sent by Green House Bookstore.

Wang Er looked at the contract on the computer and seemed to be fine, but Wang Er was very worried about these foreigners and said to Xian'er: "I'll buy a contract law and copyright law of Jianguo."

Xian'er instilled relevant knowledge into Wang Er's mind. Wang Er looked at the contract again, but indeed, there was no honest one. He asked him to find four small traps in a while.

Of course, the author discovered that Greenhouse Bookstore was honest and corrected them one by one.

The two went downstairs to print, came back to sign, Wang Laoshi signed, and Miao Xiaohua signed, for this, Wang Er deliberately designed a style character for his parents. William Li was relieved, and then looked at his watch. It was only eight o'clock, and the headquarters was only nine o'clock in the evening, which was the time to hold champagne and party.

So I called immediately to notify.

"yeah!"

William Lee immediately heard cheers coming from the other end of his phone.

His boss praised him strongly, and then William Lee sent an international express delivery and sent the contract to the headquarters. There were also drawings, which were easy to deal with, mainly taxes and remittances, especially taxes.

"Fifth brother, do you want to invest in Jianguo?"

"Invest in Jianguo?"

“Tax Avoidance.”

After understanding, Wang Er asked Xian'er, Xian'er said: "Host, you have no right to use these funds before deducting the debt. And the host, Xian'er tells you that Jianguo is overbearing and if you want to earn Jianguo's money, you have to pay taxes honestly."

Wang Er said: "No need, pay taxes. Within the legal scope, you should try to avoid taxes for me."

"Fifth brother, let us leave this, but you have to pay the attorney fee."

"How many?"

"It's going to cost tens of thousands of dollars."

"How about the lawyer?"

"It's the lawyer of our legal department. Do you think it's powerful?"

"Your lawyer from the Legal Department..." Wang Er was speechless: "Okay, I understand."

Finally, it is remittance. Wang Er's account is a personal account, and large amounts of remittances are the same trouble. But Wang Er doesn't want a strong knife, so Li William came up with an idea. Green House Bookstore has a lot of business in China. Of course, as the world's largest publisher of children's and youth readings, it will take a lot of money from China every year. So the country is also anxious and desperately supporting it. I won't say much about this.

Every month, the office transfers these funds to the headquarters at the end of the month. Therefore, there is a way. William Li reported to the headquarters and intercepted Wang Er's part from these funds. After the headquarters received the contract, it directly transferred to Wang Er's account, and the rest continued to be transferred to the headquarters. Wang Er saved a handling fee, and the office also saved a handling fee. Although it was not much, at least Wang Er would save a lot of trouble.

"Just do this."

"I'll finish reading this novel." William Lee began to watch the Narnia legend again.

"You can just watch it..." Wang Er was speechless again. No wonder he asked him to talk. It seemed that he was a big kid who likes fairy tales. Li William lay in front of the computer and continued to read the novel. Wang Jimin wanted to read the contract.

Wang Er passed the contract over there, and the author was proficient in English and could use Chinese contracts? Therefore, it was all in English.

There are some magazines who are proficient in English. When they translated it, the 13% royalty surprised the magazines. No matter how well they wrote, they should consider the author's identity as a Chinese. Then they heard the deposit of 10 million yuan. Wang Jimin was a little stupid: "Is Green House Bookstore so much that I want to publish Wang Ping'an's book? Is these conditions thrown to the Young Literature and Art Publishing House, and I won't agree."

"Chen Duoduo, it was sent to the email address of the Young Literature and Art Publishing House, and I called Li Changhua."

After a while, the Young Arts Publishing House also knew about the contract, and Li Changhua almost vomited blood: "You Russians, you can't waste it like this even if you have money."
Chapter completed!
