Tang Jinghui carefully asked, "Then … then, what should I do if I'm satisfied?"
Hong Dali touched his chin. "Well, how can you guarantee that the authors won't stop writing halfway? In other words, eunuchs? "Hong Dali touched his chin.
Tang Jinghui respectfully said, "Under normal circumstances, we adopt the buyout method. That is, how much do we pay the author for 1,000 words? We don't look at the results, just the word count. Usually, 30 yuan per 1,000 words is considered high. I believe this price is not a problem. "
Hong Dali directly decided. "Aye, this is good. If the style satisfies me, 100 yuan per 1,000 words."
What the heck, he hadn't even read the book, and he was willing to pay 100 yuan per 1,000 words just because the style suited him? Writing 10,000 words a day would be 1,000 yuan. That would be 30,000 yuan per month. This was definitely the highest price in history!
Hearing Hong Dali's high price, Tang Jinghui's forehead was full of sweat. He reported, "These authors are more suitable for the type that Young Master wants. However, their results are average. I estimate that 30 yuan per 1,000 words is enough …"
"What does the results have to do with me?" Hong Dali curiously said, "I like reading this style of books. Since I like it, then pay them to continue writing. Don't keep doing this and that and not update. If they stop halfway through, there won't be any more chapters. 100 yuan per 1,000 words! If I'm satisfied, then I'll increase the price! "
"Yes, yes." Tang Jinghui muttered in his heart, "He's really as prodigal as rumored. 100 yuan per 1,000 words if he likes it. If he's satisfied, he'll increase the price. Tens of thousands of yuan per month. That's more than what I earn. I want to write such books." That was what he thought, but he couldn't say it out loud. He could only say, "OK, I understand. En, there are a total of five such authors. " As he spoke, he took out a laptop from the side. "The authors' names are Dark Dragon of the Universe, Drunk Poison, Mixed Yuan Celestial Pole, Treasure Slayer, and Laughing Wanderer."
En, it was still these authors who were awesome. One look and you could tell that they were murderous!
Hong Dali asked, "What about their works? Let me see them."
Tang Jinghui said, "OK."
Hong Dali looked at the laptop screen in his hand and said, "Aye, not bad. Aye, the things written by this author called Dark Dragon of the Universe are quite imaginative. His words are simple and straightforward, hot-blooded. I like it!" Although he said that, he was overjoyed in his heart. This guy's writing style is very similar to that of a great author on Earth called Chen Dong! I've picked up a treasure. There's going to be a good show to watch. "
"Okay … okay …" Tang Jinghui wiped his cold sweat. "What about the others?"
"Let me take a look at the quality of the text first. Don't be anxious." As Hong Dali spoke, he opened their novels and started reading from the beginning. As he read, he commented, "That's more like it. This kind of book is more satisfying. That's what I have to do. If someone insults me, I'll wipe out their entire family! Yes, that's right, this is the effect I want, domineering! It was a web novel after all. How could it be popular if it wasn't domineering! Hmm, Heavenly Pole Universe is a good idea. If I don't like them, I can just directly eat them. Awesome! "
"Hahahaha, this Dark Dragon of the Universe is not bad. After reading the first chapter, I want to read the second chapter. The writing is also hot-blooded. Look, there's also this Drunk Poison. This writing is awesome. This slap in the face is resounding. 'The river flows east for thirty years and then west for thirty years, don't bully the young for being poor'! That's the effect I want. If I can't feel good reading online literature, what's the point of reading it?
"Look at this Treasure Slayer's book. The sense of rhythm is really good. One link after another. What's rare is that the writing is comfortable to read. This is what you call grasping the essence of online literature. The writing doesn't need to be too gorgeous. Reading it won't tire the eyes.
"This Laughter in the Pugilistic World is not bad too. School Style Competition, good!"
Tang Jinghui was sweating profusely as he listened. This Young Master's taste was really different from ordinary people. This world had always pursued gorgeous and beautiful writing. Every sentence would be embellished with ten to twenty idioms. Yet, Hong Dali actually admired this kind of author whose writing wasn't beautiful enough. But no matter what he thought, he still had to agree. "Yes, Young Master's comments are reasonable. Then these books … are they really 100 words per 1,000 words? That would exceed the budget. "
"100 words per 1,000 words!" Hong Dali directly decided. "Tell their editors to let them know. I only have two requests. First, don't stop updating. Don't let it disappear while I'm reading. Second, the plot must be good. Don't make up for the number of words! As for the money, I'll transfer 3 million to you tomorrow. "
Tang Jinghui hurriedly memorized these two requests. This was money! If he could coax this Young Master, money was probably not a problem! Just then, he heard Hong Dali say, "Oh right, there's another book called 'Evil Aura.' I think it's not bad. Contact the author. 100 words per 1,000 words!"
"O … OK …"
…
Tianjing City, southwest corner of Hong Lake Villa District, villa number 16.
"Damn it. I wonder what kind of luck that prodigal Hong Dali has. He actually managed to get a female celebrity worth more than 20 million overnight." Hong Anbao angrily leaned on the sofa and kept scolding. "Why is his luck so good? He can even meet such a person? Why can't I meet such good things?! "
"She's just a small celebrity. No matter how valuable she is, her power is limited." Hong Anbao's father, Hong Jianye, held a glass of red wine and crossed his legs. He insipidly said, "What I'm more concerned about is that I heard that Weiguo has recently bought quite a lot of land in the West Fourth Loop. Anbao, what do you think?"
Hong Anbao disdainfully said, "What's the use of that piece of land? It's all for that prodigal Hong Dali. " Speaking up to this point, Hong Anbao suddenly smiled again and said, "Dad, after I sold those estates previously, I expanded the scale of my factory. During this period of time, the turnover has almost doubled, and quite a number of factories have come to ask for goods. I reckon that if I expand the scale of my factory before the family meeting and do more public relations, the turnover will continue to increase. If I'm lucky, the annual profit can reach more than 40 million! "
"Haha, good kid!" Hong Jianye laughed loudly. "A net profit of 40 million in a year. You'll probably be one of the top few among the younger generation in the family. Not mentioning Mu Yuxi, that business pervert, I reckon you'll be one of the top three. Those old fellows will definitely give you more resources and nurture you well. When that time comes, you can just do whatever you want, hehe. "
Hong Anbao also laughed loudly and said, "Haha, that's for sure. So what if Hong Dali has a good family background? He's still a good-for-nothing who only knows how to squander. "
"En." Hong Jianye's lips curled into a cold smile. "Although Weiguo is a business genius, it's a pity that he has no successor. When he becomes an elder in the family, at least 90% of his assets will be taken back by the family. That prodigal Hong Dali, the assets that Weiguo left for him will be squandered sooner or later. Don't bother about it. Work hard and perform well at the family meeting. The money that Weiguo earns will be equivalent to our money in the future! "
"I know, Dad. Haha!"
