Almost instantly, Li Ze guessed the reason.

"Boss? Was Shuimu Qingcheng replied?" Li Ze asked with anticipation on his face.

Seeing his boss nodding with a smile, Li Ze immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great! Boss, what did he say?" Li Ze continued to ask.

"I haven't replied yet, but he has added his QQ friend." Zhu Kang said with a smile, with an excited look on his face.

............

"Mr. Shuimo, are you there?"

Zhu Kang carefully typed a few words and asked.

There is naturally a reason why he uses honorific words.

At this time, Taipei Culture Publishing House lacks a writer who takes the lead. It is impossible to lose this beautiful ink and painting because of Diandian’s mistake. Although the other party is just a newcomer, the plot control and writing level shown by the other party make Zhu Kang feel the other party’s level. With the other party’s level, it is only a matter of time before he becomes famous in Taiwan.

Moreover, although the information on the ink and Shui Qingcheng is 17 years old, there are many novel routines in "Dragon I Urban True Dragon Record", and some routines even make Zhu Kang himself a little scared.

Therefore, naturally, he will not underestimate him because of his young age.

Inside the Qiqu Internet Cafe in Chang'an City.

Cheng Yu was holding a cigarette in his mouth and was smoking a mist.

"Didi..."

"So fast?"

Cheng Yu was secretly surprised. Could it be that the editor-in-chief of the reviewer has been staring at his reply?

He shook his head funny and placed his hands on the keyboard and typing quickly.

"Here I am."

Cheng Yu only replied two words and stopped. What he had to wait for was the other party to propose it himself, which would definitely have a greater advantage for him.

Zhu Kang and Li Ze stared at the computer tightly. Seeing Cheng Yu almost instantly return, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hello Mr. Shuimo, I am Kang Tian, ​​the editor-in-chief of Taipei Culture Publishing House. When we saw Mr. Shuimo gave me the submissions from the publishing house, we were very satisfied with Mr. Shuimo's precious works. At the same time, my publishing house also wanted to reach a long-term cooperation with Mr. Shuimo, so this time I mainly want to talk to Mr. Shuimo about the royalties!"

Zhu Kang is straight to the point.

Although he did not treat Cheng Yu as a child in his heart, Zhu Kang thought so. No one would be unable to get along with the money, and he would directly raise the royalties, and he would also talk to him in detail in detail compared to the other party.

Inside the Qiqu Internet Cafe.

Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the passage sent by the editor-in-chief and said in a whisper: "I'm really sincere, so I came up to discuss the royalties..."

"How much are you going to pay?" Cheng Yu asked.

Zhu Kang looked at the words sent by the other party, his mouth curled slightly, and he was secretly happy that he had bet right. The other party was indeed interested in the royalties.

"Thousand words 80!"

Zhu Kang sent the numbers he had thought about early, and also brought an exclamation mark to show the huge amount of the manuscript fee.

This price is definitely not low in the industry. The manuscript fee of 80 yuan, for example, is only the first volume of "Dragon I Urban True Dragon Record" submitted to Taipei Culture Publishing House, which is just a fledgling book.

The first volume has a total of 56,000 words.

If it is converted into 80 yuan in a thousand words, it is 4,480 yuan.

This was definitely an astonishing number for a high school student in 2003, and it was far beyond the 50 yuan of 1,000 words given by Taipei People's Publishing House.

To be honest, in 2019, many authors cannot reach this number, let alone online writers.

Cheng Yu finished his last sip of cigarette, inserted the tail of cigarette hard on the ashtray, picked up the drink on the table and took a big sip.

Wipe the corner of his mouth, put his hands back on the keyboard, and flew quickly.

"I am confident that I will also raise the price given by Taipei People's Publishing House to this price. I wonder if Editor Kang Tian wrote it?"

In Taipei Culture Publishing House.

Zhu Kang's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.

It seems that this Shu Shu Qingcheng already knows the dispute and contradiction between himself and Taipei People's Publishing House.

I deliberately took this opportunity to raise the price, and the trouble is that I don’t have any solutions yet.

After finally meeting a genius, the first book was so exciting, Zhu Kang naturally would not bet. If he made the ink and Shui Qingcheng a little dissatisfied and then jumped to Taipei People's Publishing House, he would probably regret it.

"So where is the absolute royalty of Mr. Shui Shuan? " Zhu Kang continued to ask.

The response from the other side will arrive soon.

"A thousand words are one hundred! Not to mention the price below this, and this price is only the price of "Dragon I Urban True Dragon". As for other books in this series, if the future books are still invested in your publishing house, the price will be calculated separately!"

When Zhu Kang saw that the 100-yuan thousand words were 100 yuan, he was slightly relieved. The price was not outrageous and could be within his acceptance range. However, in the second article, Zhu Kang could see the ambition of this 17-year-old young writer from the mainland.

This is something that only by having absolute confidence in your own works is dared to say.

However, at present, what the other party said is quite reasonable. If this ink-and-wash book was launched in Taiwan, Zhu Kang would not mind double the royalties, but the premise is to gain fame.

Without much thought, Zhu Kang quickly replied: "Yes, but Mr. Shuimo also has to agree to me with a condition!"

"Please say it!"

"Don't you know if Mr. Shuimo's second volume has been saved?"

"There are only about 10,000 words left, and the second volume can be completed."

"Then my request is that within one week, Mr. Shuimo will send me the second volume of the manuscript!"

I know you want to say that!

Cheng Yu smiled undeniably. The other party’s meaning was obvious, that was, he was afraid that he would delay the manuscript.

Generally, the authors who delay the manuscript are some more famous authors. If they think their articles have a good market response, they will deliberately delay the manuscript and wait until the publisher raises the price before giving the manuscript.

In fact, there are many things happening in this way, so it is inevitable that some publishers will hope that the authors will write their works as soon as possible and send them over. It is best to put a volume in the publishing house so that they can breathe a sigh of relief.

There were many such things in 2003, but publishers dare not mess with these famous artists, so it is naturally impossible to increase the royalties, but some red envelopes are definitely indispensable.

In fact, Cheng Yu had already finished writing the manuscript of the second volume yesterday, and he was almost typing in an Internet cafe. However, he was short of money these days and dared to come to an Internet cafe, so he didn't typing.

Saying that you haven't finished writing is also a way to gain some advantages for the conditions you have to put forward next.

"This condition is not impossible, but the premise must be that your publisher will now send the manuscript fee for the first volume!"

Seeing Shuimiao Qingcheng reply like this, Zhu Kang was immediately happy, and only two words echoed in his heart.

Stay stable!

"Li Ze, go to the finance department immediately and impose the manuscript fee for the first volume of "Dragon I Urban True Dragon Record" on the account under the Shuiming Cheng Information!" Zhu Kang turned around and quickly ordered.

Li Ze reacted very quickly, and quickly responded and turned around and went out.

"I have asked someone to transfer the royalties to Mr. Shuimo's card, please pay attention to check (smiley face)"

Cheng Yu, who was here, smiled and nodded, thinking to himself: "Just judging from the other party's sincerity, the next book may still be posted here!"

After chatting with Zhu Kang for a few words, when the other party said he could check the balance, Cheng Yu turned around without hesitation and left the Internet cafe. There was a bank of China dozens of meters away from the Internet cafe.

Cheng Yu's card was issued by his parents, and his monthly living expenses will be posted on this card. The bank is not far from the school, so it is very convenient to get living expenses.

When I came to the bank, the bank had already gotten off work early, but in 2003, the ATM was put into use. Changan, as a city close to the first-tier city, is naturally no exception.

Although it is just the oldest ATM.

Insert the card, enter the password, and move like flowing water, which is incredibly fast.

When Cheng Yu clicked on the balance, although he was ready, his pretty face still had a happy smile.
Chapter completed!
