Chapter 485: Support Your Own Partner
Next, he continued to talk about matters related to newspaper publishing.
"For all the manuscripts our newspaper receives, the fee ranges from two to eight yuan per thousand words, with the difference mainly depending on the quality."
"The story content of your article is only worth eight yuan, not to mention the illustrations. After discussion, the newspaper has decided to give you ten yuan per thousand words. The extra two yuan will be used as an allowance for the illustrations."
"There are also royalties. Conventionally, they're based on sales..."
Lin Tang is quite familiar with the publishing situation of the newspaper.
After hearing what Su Qi said, I felt that Xiangyang Newspaper was very fair.
She nodded and replied politely, "This isn't the first time we've dealt with each other. I have great confidence in Xiangyang Newspaper. I'd like to trouble Comrade Su to take care of it."
The newspaper is responsible for book numbers, as well as post-production typesetting, printing, proofing, printing and sales, so she doesn't have to worry about anything else.
This share of manuscript fees and royalties is pretty good.
Su Qi felt very comfortable when he saw Lin Tang's reaction.
In fact, this result is the best he has ever obtained.
After all, she is Ranran’s future brother and sister-in-law, so how could he not be on his side?
It is human nature to seek some benefits for one's family within the scope of the rules.
"We're one family, you're welcome."
After saying this, Su Qi took out another stack of papers.
"This should be from your home too, right?" he asked with a smile.
Gu Yingzhou had just finished reading the manuscript. The man's brows were furrowed and he looked unhappy.
Hearing Su Qi's question, he shifted his gaze over.
"What is this?"
Lin Tang leaned over to take a look and saw at a glance that it was the pig farming diary invested by his elder brother.
"This seems to be my eldest brother's pig farming log. What happened? Was it returned?"
She looked through it and thought it was okay.
Breed selection experience, feeding, disinfection, pigpen environment cleaning...
It’s not very professional, but it can be considered as popular science.
Especially now, what is lacking in the market is this kind of experience-based books, so there is no reason why you can't pass it.
Lin Tang didn't understand.
Without waiting for her to think too much, Su Qi quickly shook his head.
"No, this thing is very practical, and the newspaper will not return it."
He talked about the reason why he brought this manuscript here.
“This thing has a popularizing effect, but it’s not that professional.
If we apply for a book number through publishing, it will be difficult to handle. The newspaper leaders held a meeting to discuss this and unanimously agreed that it would be better to go through the brochure route..."
Having said that, Su Qi paused and looked at Lin Tang's reaction.
Brochures are not printed materials in essence, so they are naturally not as valuable as books with book numbers.
However, publishing has its own requirements, and they cannot trample on the rules at will.
Lin Tang was mentally prepared for this and said with a smile, "I understand."
"It's just..." She changed her tone, "This thing belongs to my eldest brother. You still need to discuss with my eldest brother how to do it."
Although my brother certainly wouldn't mind if I made the decision myself, the individual should always make the decision on their own. This is the minimum respect.
Su Qi expressed his understanding.
"Okay, I'll talk to you directly."
Lin Tang smiled and told him his home address.
When Su Zheng saw that the adults had finished speaking and heard Sister Tangtang talk about her home address, his eyes rolled.
She squeezed into Su Qi's arms, scratched his clothes with her fingers, and said softly, "Dad, I want to go with you."
As he spoke, he blinked his eyes with a look of anticipation.
Su Qi was a little uncomfortable with the little devil's obedience and felt anxious.
Afraid that this guy would stay in the county and cause trouble for Gu Yingzhou, he nodded in agreement helplessly.
"Okay, I'm going to do some serious business. Don't run around. If you dare to make trouble, I will never take you out again." He threatened and warned in advance.
Su Zheng felt that he was being well behaved. He pursed his lips in frustration, but said, "I know."
Gu Yingzhou patted his eldest nephew's head, told him to stop making trouble, and asked Su Qi a question that concerned him most.
"Brother Qi, when will Tangtang's book be published?"
Su Qi brainstormed and quickly estimated the time, and said, "Although this manuscript is not long, it will take at least a month to speed up the review."
"In addition, there's time for photo editing, typesetting, and proofing, which will take at least a month."
"...The final printing will also take time, and it will be out in December at the earliest."
Gu Yingzhou nodded slightly and explained the purpose of asking this question, "Send me a few copies when you come out."
You must support the book published by your partner.
Not only should you support yourself, but each family member should also have at least one copy.
This book is worth it!
How could Su Qi not know his 'wolf ambition', and a mischievous smile appeared on his face.
"Okay, I'll send it to you as soon as it comes out."
Lin Tang felt a little embarrassed by his teasing expression.
Gu Yingzhou looked calm.
Seeing that it was almost time and not wanting to disturb Tangtang's lunch break, he reached out and picked up Su Zheng and held him up with one hand.
"Brother Qi, let's go back. Tangtang has the habit of taking a lunch break, let her rest."
When Su Qi heard this, he stood up immediately.
"We are sorry for disturbing you." He apologized with a smile.
He didn't pay attention to this.
This yard is so cool!
Lin Tang replied: "Don't bother me, business is more important."
Thinking of Su Zheng mentioning that he wanted the flowers in the yard, she walked towards her house.
"Zheng Zheng wants flowers, right? Wait a moment, I'll get some seeds."
Seeing this, Su Zheng struggled desperately, trying to break free from Gu Yingzhou's arms and follow him.
Gu Yingzhou flicked his nephew's head.
Her voice was clear and sharp, "Did I ever tell you not to go to a girl's room without her consent?"
Su Zheng instantly wilted, shrank his neck, and said guiltily: "...I did say that."
"Then how did you do it?" Gu Yingzhou asked back.
Su Zheng was speechless.
He pursed his lips, looking aggrieved.
He used to live here, and Sister Tangtang didn't say she couldn't let him go to her room.
Seeing that his nephew had nothing to say, Gu Yingzhou's expression relaxed.
"If you know you're wrong, you're still a good kid."
Su Zheng's eyes flashed, and he immediately admitted his mistake, "I know I was wrong."
Just then, Lin Tang came out with a small paper bag and a small bottle in his hand.
Giving the paper bag and the small bottle to Su Qi, she explained in a gentle voice:
"The paper bag contains flower seeds, and the potion in the small bottle is prepared by me. Pour it into the water and water the flowers to improve the soil. Brother Su can ask Sister Ranran to try it."
After finishing the business, the way she addressed Su Qi changed.
Su Zheng leaned out of Gu Yingzhou's arms and forced his body forward.
He said, "Dad, I want to see it, let me hold it."
Su Qi didn't want to listen to his quarrel, so he handed the paper bag over. He didn't give him the medicine because he was afraid that his son would be upset if he dropped it.
After sending Su Zheng away, he smiled and thanked Lin Tang, "Thank you."
"It's just a small matter, no need to be so polite."
Su Qi realized that they had really wasted quite a bit of time, and said humorously, "Yingzhou, let's go. If we delay any longer, it will be time for dinner."
After saying that, he took his son from Gu Yingzhou's arms and said goodbye to Lin Tang.
Holding Su Zheng and taking the manuscript, he was the first to leave the hospital.
Leave the farewell time to the two young people.
