"That's right, our newspaper has always paid a reward of 60 words to newcomers, but I read that my friend's book is so outstanding and he was praised by King Jin. How about it, why not 80 words to 80 words to 80 words? " Zhang Yunxing is a businessman after all. Although he admires Mo Xuan and is optimistic about "The Legend of Qin", he still keeps the price he should be suppressed.

"Editor Zhang, this is too low. I heard that Ni Fu's royalties are worth a thousand words and a thousand yuan." Mo Xuan said what he found out.

"Haha, that manuscript remuneration cannot be used as a standard. Ni Fu's thousand yuan manuscript remuneration is the price offered by Huang Yulang to make the newspaper famous. Go and find out how much is the thousand words of his novel "Wesley" published in Ming Pao now." Zhang Yunxing thought Mo Xuan didn't know, so he explained in detail.

Mo Xuan shook his head and said, "Editor Zhang, of course I know that Ni Fu's thousand words and thousand yuan are false. But most people in Xiangjiang don't know, they only know that Ni Fu's words are very valuable. I think my "Qing Qin" is no worse than his novels."

"And I heard that the business has been difficult for your newspaper recently, especially the sales of the New Territories Daily have plummeted recently, and it has not exceeded 20,000 copies in a long time."

When Zhang Yunxing heard Mo Xuan's words, he glared at Li Zhenfa who was standing next to him and didn't speak. He didn't need to ask, and everyone knew that the newspaper's recent situation must have been told by Li Zhenfa.

"My friend Mo Xuan, of course I know that "The Legend of Qin" is a rare masterpiece, but your asking price is too outrageous. And if the sales volume of "The Legend of Qin" is poor after it is published, I will not be able to report to the boss," Zhang Yunxing said with a wry smile.

Zhang Yunxing also has his own concerns. The newspaper has been poorly managed recently, and the son of the newspaper boss repeatedly instigated the boss to sell the newspaper, so his family immigrated to the United States. If it weren't for his efforts to dissuade him and the boss still had some nostalgia for Xiangjiang, the New Territories Daily might have changed hands long ago.

Seeing that Zhang Yunxing was still worried, Mo Xuan thought about it and said, "This is how it is, Editor-in-Chief Zhang. After we publish the "Qing Qin Ji", we will take the sales of the New Territories Daily as the basis. If the sales of the New Territories Daily can greatly increase after the serialization of the "Qing Qin Ji", then we will take the sales of the New Territories Daily as the basis. If not, we will take the sales of the thousand-word and eighty-year-old, how about it?"

Editor-in-chief Zhang fell into deep thought when he heard Mo Xuan's words and was a little hesitant.

Seeing Zhang Yunxing like this, Mo Xuan decided to add a fire when he saw that he was already moved, "Editor Zhang, if you can agree to my condition, I can promise you that after the novel "The Legend of Qin" is serialized in the newspaper, let you publish the physical book "The Legend of Qin" on your behalf. How about it?"

After hearing Mo Xuan's words, Zhang Yunxing finally nodded: "Mr. Mo, I promised you."

Mo Xuan was very happy to see Zhang Yunxing agreeing. After thinking about it, he continued, "Editor Zhang, you have made a wise decision. You will be grateful for this in the future. However, there is another thing. I wonder if you can say that my royalties are worth a thousand words and thousands of yuan during the publicity. Don't mention the bet between us."

Zhang Yunxing was puzzled when he heard Mo Xuan say this: "Why is this?"

Mo Xuan smiled proudly and said, "Editor Zhang, you see, if the newspaper said he gave me a thousand words and thousands of yuan in royalties, I believe the whole of Xiangjiang will know the next day."

"They will be curious about what kind of book is worth a thousand words and thousands of yuan. They will definitely be curious, so they will go to buy the New Territories Daily, which published "The Legend of Qin" to find out."

"This will not only promote the popularity of "Xu Qin Ji" and make it more familiar to more people, but also increase the sales of newspapers and make the reputation of the expensive newspaper famous. It is really a killing two birds with one stone."

Zhang Yunxing and Li Zhenfa did not expect that Mo Xuan would have so many tricks in his mind in a short time. At this moment, they really wanted to knock Mo Xuan's head open to see what's different from others. Such propaganda methods can be imagined.

Zhang Yunxing considered it, agreed to Mo Xuan's solution, and said to Mo Xuan: "Okay, I can promise you. Don't you know if Mr. Mo wants to take a pseudonym?"

"Psy name? No, just sign Mo Xuan." Mo Xuan's main purpose is to make a name for himself, so why did he use this pen name in one go?

Afterwards, Zhang Yunxing asked someone to prepare two legally effective contracts, in duplicate, and he and Mo Xuan each held one.

"Editor Zhang, happy cooperation. When the sales of the newspaper soared in a few days, you will definitely be glad that you made your decision today." Mo Xuan said with a smile to Zhang Yunxing with a contract.

"Thank you for your good words, haha, I would like to congratulate you here for becoming the first writer in Xiangjiang to write novels with a reward of 1,000 words and 1,000 yuan."

Zhang Yunxing felt that although Mo Xuan was not famous now, he was experienced and talented in doing things, so he would definitely achieve something in the future and become a phoenix among people. Therefore, if he wanted to bring each other closer, he would be rewarded in the future.

...

"Brother Xuan, you are back. You will disappear as soon as I woke up this morning." Xu Fan immediately stood up and said when he saw Mo Xuan enter the house.

"Oh, I woke up this morning and saw that you were still asleep, so I didn't bother you. I went to the New Territories Daily alone." Mo Xuan replied when he heard Xu Fan's inquiry.

"Brother Xuan, how about it?" Xu Fan knew that Mo Xuan was going to the New Territories Daily today to discuss the signing of the contract.

"What do you think?" Mo Xuan said to Xu Fan, shaking the 30,000 Hong Kong dollars in his hand. This was the royalties he paid in advance with the New Territories Daily.

"Wow, Brother Xuan, you are so good. I have never seen so much money before." Xu Fan said excitedly when he saw the money in Mo Xuan's hand.

"Afan, this is nothing. Brother Xuan will definitely make more money in the future, so that you can live in a big house with you and live a better life." Mo Xuan's words seemed to be saying to Xu Fan, and to himself.

Then, Mo Xuan took part of the money to Xu Fan and asked him to pay the rent to the landlord's wife. Then he took part of the money to ask him to buy a few clothes. They are wearing too bad clothes now.

...

As night fell, Mo Xuan stood upstairs and looked at the extremely prosperous Great Xiangjiang River in the distance. Mo Xuan's eyes seemed to see the bright lights and wine of the Great Xiangjiang River, and the richness of the Great Xiangjiang River. Mo Xuan felt that this was really a beautiful era.

His future is so beautiful and fascinating.

"Xiangjiang, I'm here!!!!"

"Pujiezi, why are you shouting at night? Don't sleep?" The landlord's unique loud voice rang out.
