The next day.
Fan Culture Publishing House.
"The manager seems to be a little different today."
"Hasn't he been worried about the future of the publishing house? In order to sign an A-list author, he kept calling him every day. He was so busy, but the author still didn't want to sign with our publishing house."
"How can he not be anxious? The efficiency of our publishing house has been getting lower and lower in recent years. We have lost a lot of money this year. There are still many books in the warehouse that haven't been sold. If we can't sign a best-selling work, our publishing house will really be finished."
"In fact, the manager is also very tired."
"Before today, it was really hard for you. You always had a sad face. But today, it's like you've changed into a different person. You've just entered the company and you're already beaming with joy. It's rare for you to wear a suit and tidy up your appearance.
"What good thing can there be? Yesterday, the manager inexplicably asked us to clean up. Judging from the current situation, any best-selling work should be impossible. I guess Manager Zhang wants to sell our publishing house by doing this. Clean it up and sell it for a good price?"
In the publishing house, the staff were talking about it.
In the manager's office.
Zhang Xingjie sat at his desk with an excited face. He looked at the time and drank water. He looked a little nervous.
Although he was in a high position.
However, at the moment of life and death of the publishing house, even he couldn't help being nervous.
The most important thing was.
The person he was about to meet was really the person who had a great relationship with the future of their publishing house. He knew very well that if the negotiation was successful today, then the publishing house would survive and even develop better in the future. After all, that person was Fang Qiu. If they could get Fang Qiu to join them, then other A-list authors would definitely regard their Fan Culture Publishing House as their first choice.
There was no other way. Fang Qiu was so popular now.
Not to mention A-list authors, even A-list stars wanted to take advantage of Fang Qiu's popularity. It could be seen how influential Fang Qiu was.
It could be said that.
Fang Qiu was now the only light that the entire Fan Culture Publishing House could see. As long as they grabbed this light, then the publishing house would completely walk out of the darkness and face the light.
But if they couldn't.
Then, the publishing house would be completely finished.
For Fang Qiu, it was a very easy thing to choose a publishing house. But for the Fan Culture Publishing House, Fang Qiu was their only hope that they had to grasp.
Of course.
Only Zhang Xingjie, the manager, knew.
At nine o 'clock in the morning.
Under the puzzled gaze of all the employees, Zhang Xingjie walked out of the office excitedly and came to the office building where the publishing house was located with a smile on his face.
A few minutes later.
A transfer car stopped in front of the office building.
A man wearing a mask got out of the car and walked over.
This person …
It was Fang Qiu!
"Hello."
Walking to Zhang Xingjie's side, Fang Qiu pulled off his mask, reached out to Zhang Xingjie, and said, "I've checked your publishing house on the Internet."
"Hello! Hello! "
Seeing Fang Qiu, Zhang Xingjie's eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately shook hands excitedly and said, "I'm so sorry to make you come all the way here. I should have gone to see you."
"I've never come into contact with a publishing company before, so I thought I'd drop by to take a look."
Said Fang Qiu.
"Yes, please."
Zhang Xingjie nodded and hurriedly invited Fang Qiu upstairs.
He walked into the elevator.
Fang Qiu took off the mask and put it in his trouser pocket.
Over here.
Everyone was confused and guessing what was going on.
Zhang Xingjie suddenly came up with his men.
Seeing the newcomer.
The staff in the publishing house were stunned as if petrified in an instant.
One by one, they watched the newcomer pass through the publishing house and walk into the manager's office inside in shock.
Everyone was silent.
It was not until the sound of the manager's office door being closed came that they finally came to their senses.
"Is, is that handsome guy Fang Qiu just now?"
A female staff turned her head with some difficulty and asked the colleague next to her, her voice full of disbelief.
"He looks like him, doesn't he?"
In an instant, the whole publishing house was in an uproar.
"Is it really Fang Qiu? I also think it looks like him! "
"I can't believe it. Fang Qiu came to our publishing house?"
"It's him. It seems to be him!"
"He's so handsome in real life. I almost didn't dare to recognize him! I didn't expect to see Master Fang at such a close distance! "
"It's really Fang Qiu!"
At this time, all the staff were excited and then confused.
"But, what is Fang Qiu doing here? We're a publishing house! "
"Could it be that … Fang Qiu is coming to publish books???"
"Oh my god! It's really possible! No wonder the manager asked us to clean the office yesterday and was still smiling today. It turns out that he knew Fang Qiu was coming!!! "
This inference instantly made the atmosphere of the whole publishing house even hotter.
Everyone couldn't help but think of the super topic that Fang Qiu had recently become on Weibo.
With his current popularity.
If he really published books, it could not be simply described with the word "hot"!
That would be like a nuclear bomb! It would definitely blow everyone up!
If it was true, then their publishing house would be saved!
There was hope.
Everyone was very excited in their hearts, but they still forcefully suppressed this excitement.
After all, everything had not been revealed yet.
Maybe Fang Qiu just came to their publishing house and would not necessarily publish books in their publishing house.
Although they knew it, they still couldn't help thinking that way. Everyone's heart seemed to be scratched by a kitten. They kept peeping at the manager's office and even lost the mood to work.
In the manager's office.
"This is a good tea from my private collection. But I don't know how to make tea. Otherwise, I will definitely make a pot of good tea for you."
After making a cup of tea for Fang Qiu with an ancient big teacup, Zhang Xingjie looked at Fang Qiu and said immediately, "Since Mr. Fang has seen the plan that our publishing house sent to you, I will say it openly."
"Thank you."
Fang Qiu took the tea and said with a smile, "Go ahead."
"Since you came to my publishing house, you must have some ideas. I don't know if Mr. Fang is interested in writing an autobiography or an essay. As long as you are willing, everything can be discussed about the payment. "
Zhang Xingjie forced himself to calm down and finished speaking. His heart couldn't help pounding.
"Master, you must publish books!
Our publishing house depends on you! "
"Let's not talk about this first."
Fang Qiu smiled and took a sip of tea. He said, "This time, I have an idea to find someone to write some books."
"Find someone to write books?"
Zhang Xingjie was stunned. He didn't expect this answer.
"Write those books?"
"Six books, Biography of Sun Simiao, Biography of Li Shizhen, Biography of Hua Tuo, Biography of Zhang Zhongjing, Biography of Confucius, and Biography of Mencius."
Said Fang Qiu.
On the plane to the capital, he had thought about it carefully.
The reason why he added Confucius and Mencius was that he thought it was also necessary to let the children in the mountainous areas know the great life stories of the most sages of Huaxia, build their national pride from an early age, and carry forward the traditional culture of Huaxia.
"Ah?"
Zhang Xingjie looked at Fang Qiu with a confused face.
"What is the master doing?"
"What kind of trick is this? What is his purpose?"
Although he didn't understand, Zhang Xingjie still told the truth.
"In fact, our publishing house has these books you mentioned, but they can't be sold."
Speaking of this, he said with a wry smile, "You know, young people nowadays like to read online novels. Students all need extracurricular reference books or exercise books. Even if many people often use these kinds of books, they will only check the pages they need on the Internet. They won't spend money to buy them at all. Now these books are no different from waste. What do you want these books for?"
"Donate them."
Fang Qiu smiled and said, "If you have all these books I mentioned, I hope you can print one million copies of each and then donate them all."
Hearing that.
Zhang Xingjie was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground.
How … much?
One million copies of each?
"You, what are you doing?"
Looking at Fang Qiu, Zhang Xingjie tried to ask with a shocked face, "Do you know how much it will cost if you do what you said?"
"I don't know."
Fang Qiu shook his head and said directly, "Name your price!"
"Well, I'll calculate it for you."
Zhang Xingjie gave a wry smile and didn't intend to hide anything. He said directly to Fang Qiu, "Now the books are ready-made. The cost price of a book is about five yuan. Of course, it will be very cheap if it is printed and pirated. But we can't do this, can we?"
"There are six kinds of books you just mentioned."
"One million copies of each kind, that is, six million copies in total."
"Based on the cost price of five yuan per book, it will require at least thirty million yuan. This is not a small amount!"
Hearing that, Fang Qiu nodded gently and said directly, "Okay."
"Ah?"
Zhang Xingjie was suddenly stunned.
He was still waiting for Fang Qiu to back off.
Waiting for you to change your mind and write your own book!
What's okay?
How is it okay?
Did I hear it wrong?
Zhang Xingjie asked with a surprised and wry smile, "Do you really want it?"
Although these books were in the warehouse of the publishing house, the reserves were not enough. To print one million copies of each book, it needed a lot of financial support.
Therefore, it was not that Zhang Xingjie didn't want to take this business, and it was also timely for the publishing house.
But he felt that Fang Qiu definitely couldn't spend this money, so he wanted to wait for Fang Qiu to back off.
But he didn't expect that Fang Qiu directly nodded.
Fang Qiu nodded, "Yes."
"I need books for children under fifteen years old. How long will it take you to print them?"
"Do you really want them??"
Zhang Xingjie asked again in surprise, still not digesting this thing.
"Yes."
Fang Qiu nodded with certainty.
This time.
Zhang Xingjie was immediately excited.
Although he didn't ask Fang Qiu to write an autobiography, this was also a big deal!
Even if Fang Qiu didn't write an autobiography, this big deal could also make him millions of yuan!
In any case, this deal must satisfy Fang Qiu.
After all, Fang Qiu hadn't decided whether to write an autobiography or not. If this deal was done well and the two sides cooperated happily, maybe Fang Qiu was really interested in writing an autobiography?
"Okay."
While excited, Zhang Xingjie thought for a moment and said, "Now, the books in our warehouse are all for adults. Of course, we can also change them according to your requirements. It's relatively easy to change them. But, if you want to print all these books …"
He hesitated for a moment.
Zhang Xingjie gritted his teeth and said, "About half a month!"
In fact.
This time could be said to be frighteningly short for the publishing house.
It was impossible to print six million books in such a short period of time.
However.
In order to make this deal with Fang Qiu perfectly, Zhang Xingjie was going to find several printing houses at the same time and work overtime to print the books. He also had to work overtime to revise the manuscripts. Anyway, he couldn't waste a minute. He must complete this big deal perfectly.
Because he could see that Fang Qiu was in a hurry to finish these books.
After saying that.
Zhang Xingjie looked at Fang Qiu expectantly.
"Okay, okay."
Fang Qiu also felt that the time was almost right. The other party was also sincere, so he immediately nodded and said, "Sign the contract."
Zhang Xingjie was stunned at first.
Then, he immediately felt that the whole world suddenly became so lovely and so happy.
Such a big deal actually came knocking on his door, and he was able to sign it so quickly. It was simply too exciting.
"Okay, I'll inform the legal department to prepare the contract right away."
