Chapter 526 Mr. Zhang, I want to correct a mistake you made
After hanging up the phone, a smug smile appeared on Zuo Chengichiro's face.
After this call is made, those who hope to facilitate this cooperation will surely work harder to help me.
And once this thing is accomplished, what awaits you naturally is promotion and salary increase.
He is very optimistic about Cheng Xuyuan's cultural tour.
Moreover, according to Saseichiro's estimation, as long as Cheng Xuyuan's book is published by his own publishing house, the sales will definitely be very good.
He is full of confidence about this.
But what he needs to do is to maximize profits and make his company earn more money.
So, he thought of spending a few hundred dollars to get the copyright of that cultural journey.
But he didn't expect that his plan would not come true.
After all, it seems that this is the amount of royalties Cheng Xuyuan received from this place.
However, judging from the current situation, there are many people who want to promote this cooperation, and my move this time may become something that the publishing house will talk about with relish many years later.
One thought after another surged in Zuo Chengichiro's mind, making him full of excitement.
The next morning, after a simple breakfast, Sasuke Ichiro came to Yenching University again accompanied by someone.
The black car was driving smoothly, and Zuo Chengyilang said solemnly: "I value this cooperation very much."
"It is precisely because of this that I am prepared to give Cheng Xuyuan another chance."
"If he fails to seize this opportunity and continues to reject my good intentions, then even if I continue to try to facilitate this cooperation, it will be in vain."
"After all, our editor-in-chief doesn't have a very good temper."
"He won't let me waste my time."
Accompanying Zuo Chengyilang was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zuo Cheng, we know your sincerity."
"Don't worry, we will actively promote this cooperation."
"After all, this is a very good win-win situation."
Sasuke Ichiro was very satisfied with this answer. He smiled and said, "Then let's work together to make this happen as soon as possible."
The car quickly entered the school. Since he had made a phone call before arriving, Zuo Chengichiro quickly met Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan had a faint smile on his face, and when he saw Zuo Chengichiro, he just nodded slightly.
Zuo Chengyilang said calmly: "Mr. Cheng, we meet again. I wonder if you have considered my proposal."
"I'm a bit busy recently. After all, there are a lot of things going on at our publishing house, so if you can't make a decision, then we don't have time to wait."
"I can only say sorry for our cooperation."
"And if our cooperation fails, I don't know when your work will be able to meet our readers. It's really a big pity!"
Although there was regret in Saseichiro's words, there was no trace of regret in his smile.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Zuo Chengyilang who was performing, and said lightly: "Mr. Zuo Chengyilang, if it is still your current conditions, then I am very sorry that our cooperation is still not possible."
Sasukeichiro's expression remained unchanged. He felt that things were still under his control.
Cheng Xuyuan, you may not want to agree to this, but there are people who are willing.
And once people make a decision, then...
Just as he was waiting for the change, he heard Cheng Xuyuan say: "But even if I don't cooperate with your Yihe Publishing House, my works will soon meet your readers."
"Maybe it will be faster than your Yihe Publishing House."
Hearing this, Sasukeichiro's face changed.
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
Just as he was about to ask, he saw two young women walking towards him. The woman walking in front was looking at him indifferently.
And based on his own experience, his first feeling was that this woman had too many of the same habits as him.
so……
Just when he was surprised, the woman smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Zuo Cheng, I am Ueda Xiaoya, and I am studying abroad in Yanjing now."
"But I am still an employee of Jiying Publishing House."
"This time I came here to discuss with Mr. Cheng about the introduction of his works."
After Ueda Xiaoya finished speaking, she turned to Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Mr. Cheng, I will report your situation after I return."
"Our editorial department has contacted New York specifically about the situation you described, and we can confirm that everything you said is true."
"But there is one thing I need to correct you."
Seeing that Tian Xiaoya was serious, Cheng Xuyuan said solemnly: "If there is anything that needs to be corrected, please let me know, Miss Tian."
"If I can correct it, I will definitely correct it."
Ueda Xiaoya smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, you really need to correct this."
"Because the news we received is that your short story collection is now ranked not forty-nine on the New York bestseller list, but nineteen!"
"Congratulations!"
"I heard that your book has great staying power. If you work harder, it might even make it into the top ten of the New York Books Bestseller List."
“You’ll get more out of it that way.”
When he heard what Ueda Xiaoya said, Saseichiro's face changed.
He was naturally aware of the sales volume represented by the New York bestseller list.
In addition to this cultural tour, Cheng Xuyuan's book is also on the New York bestseller list.
I didn't even have control over the situation.
Doesn’t that mean that there are some major mistakes in my work?
If this negotiation fails and the higher-ups hold you accountable, you will be the one in trouble.
In an instant, his self-confidence disappeared completely.
Just as he was thinking about what to do, he heard Ueda Xiaoya continue: "Mr. Cheng, our publishing house is willing to give you 12% of the royalties."
"In our area, this is a level that only senior authors can achieve."
"If you are willing, we can sign the agreement today."
Hearing this, Sasuke Ichiro was really a little anxious.
He said anxiously: "Mr. Cheng Xuyuan, let's talk about cooperation first. I think we can still talk about it."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Zuo Chengyilang who looked anxious, and said calmly: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Zuo Chengyilang."
“I like to work with honest publishers.”
"After all, cooperation is a long-term thing. If you encounter a dishonest partner, you will end up with endless troubles."
"So I'm very sorry, we can't cooperate."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan's indifferent expression, a trace of annoyance appeared on Zuo Chengichiro's face.
He looked at Ueda Xiaoya with a bit of hatred, as if he wanted to swallow her up.
But he could only think about it. After all, this was not a place for him to do whatever he wanted.
Just as Zuo Chengyilang was thinking about this, he heard someone say, "Excuse me, is Mr. Cheng Xuyuan here?"
Hearing the greeting, Cheng Xuyuan turned his head and saw a man in his thirties and a short man wearing suit trousers walking towards him.
The man in his thirties was dressed neatly and seemed to know the man who came with Saseichiro.
After the two met, they greeted each other lightly, but didn't say much.
The man in suit trousers, who was not very tall, walked forward quickly.
"I'm Cheng Xuyuan." The moment Cheng Xuyuan saw the man in a suit, he almost understood why the other person came.
So he took the initiative to stand up.
"Hello, Mr. Cheng. I am Pingjiang Yasuo, the editor of Xiaotanshe. Mr. Dong recommended your work to me, so I rushed over."
The visitor smiled and said to Cheng Xuyuan: "After reading your work, I admire you very much."
“We very much look forward to working with you.”
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Pingjiang Kangfu who looked serious, and said helplessly, "Mr. Pingjiang, you are a little late."
"I have already authorized the rights to publish Culture Journey over there to Jiying Publishing House, so I can only say sorry for your problem."
Pingjiang Yasuo was not angry at what Cheng Xuyuan said.
He smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, it seems we are a step late."
"But this might turn out to be a good thing. Although Cultural Journey is the book we hope to introduce, I also hope to introduce the collection of short stories you published in the United States."
"I wonder if Mr. Cheng is willing to cooperate with us."
Cheng Xuyuan did not have too many restrictions for this collection of short stories.
He smiled and said, "If Mr. Pingjiang is interested in that collection of short stories, I would naturally be very willing to cooperate with your company."
“I just don’t know how to cooperate.”
Pingjiang Yasuo smiled and said, "Of course everyone makes money."
"For Mr. Cheng's collection of short stories, we are willing to give Mr. Cheng 12% of the copyright. I wonder if Mr. Cheng is satisfied?"
Cheng Xuyuan was very satisfied with this result.
He smiled and said, "Then let's do as Mr. Pingjiang said. I believe that our cooperation will be very pleasant."
When the two people shook hands, the matter of love was temporarily settled.
Yasuo Pingjiang was very happy. Although the cooperation with the Cultural Journey did not come through, he was able to cooperate on the set of short stories that continued to climb the New York sales charts, so it was worth the trip.
"I believe that, too."
While Pingjiang Yasuo was speaking, Zuo Chengyilang came to Pingjiang Yasuo and said respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Pingjiang."
Pingjiang Yasuo glanced at Zuo Chengyilang and said calmly: "It's Zuo Chengyilang, what are you doing here?"
Zuo Chengyilang said: "Our publishing house is discussing with Mr. Cheng about the publication of his cultural journey."
"Given the strength of your publishing house, you are not qualified to publish Mr. Cheng's works. You'd better stop embarrassing yourself here."
Yasuo Pingjiang looked at Sasuke Ichiro with a bit of disgust and said bluntly.
His words made Sasukeichiro's face even uglier, but he didn't dare to say anything more unpleasant.
The difference in strength was so great that he dared not say much.
