Chapter 16

It is even an important breakthrough for Chinese literature to officially enter the world literary forest!

At this time, Cai Xukun’s fans no longer had the mood to scold at the beginning.

Can't compare.

This is a national event!

What is brother’s small Golden Melody Award?!

It’s nothing in front of the Nobel Prize in Literature!

Even the thick-skinned fans are embarrassed to shout and press the trending search down!

At this moment, Cai Xukun’s fans also gathered under the hottest first entry, screaming like marmots one by one.

"Witness this moment in history!"

"Damn, why do I have a sense of satisfaction that I can die without regrets?!"

"Is there anyone to pinch me?! I feel like I’m still dreaming now?!"

"I was wrong! Last night I dreamed that 'The Old Man and the Sea' won China’s highest literary award, and I laughed at myself for being too bold when I woke up this morning! Damn! It turns out that I was too timid! It actually went directly to the international level?!"

"Same as upstairs! It turns out that we were too timid! As a book fan, I apologize to the author... It turns out that I was not arrogant enough, I was not arrogant enough!" ===== CHAPTER 31 =====

Cai Xukun just walked down from the award stage of the Golden Melody Award, and at this time, he was high-spirited.

"How is it?! Did the trending search explode??"

At this time, Cai Xukun’s attitude towards discussing Weibo trending searches was as casual as saying "Have you eaten".

After all, his name had lived on the trending search.

If he didn't get on the trending search twice in three days, he would feel uncomfortable all over.

Not to mention, he had just won the high-gold-content Chinese Golden Melody Award in the Chinese music scene, and Cai Xukun was ready to go out of the circle.

He was even more confident in his heart that he could definitely reach a new height of traffic by taking advantage of this east wind!

However, just when Cai Xukun was sure in his heart, he noticed the silent expression of the agent, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Why don't you speak?!"

The agent was afraid of annoying Cai Xukun, so he didn't dare to breathe for a while, and carefully handed over his phone.

As soon as this action came out, Cai Xukun felt more and more abnormal.

Grabbing the phone, he found that the top five entries on the Weibo trending search did not have any content about himself!

Huh?!

Is it all news about the Nobel Prize in Literature?!

Cai Xukun’s face suddenly darkened, and his fingers holding the phone turned white, but he was powerless.

He felt even more depressed in his heart.

Why am I so unlucky?

After finally winning the Chinese award, all the attention was snatched away by the Nobel Prize in Literature?!

Looking at Cai Xukun’s not-so-good expression, the agent turned the phone page again.

"Why don't we also post a Weibo to express our position?"

Seeing the phone raised by the agent, Bian Xiao, Du Chun, and others had already spoken one by one around the entry of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

[Bian Xiao: I have never read such a good-looking book! #BigLoveOneHundredYearsOfSolitude]

[Du Chun: Too excited! My favorite book was actually nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature! #NobelPrizeInLiteratureNomination]

[Hua Chenyu: Reading with everyone! [The Old Man and the Sea JPG]]

Seeing that everyone started to rub the popularity of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Cai Xukun became more and more irritable.

But how can the status of an entertainment celebrity be higher than the status of the academic circle?!

Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, thinking that others were posting, if he didn't post, it would be easy to have an accident, Cai Xukun could only log into his account with anger.

[Cai Xukun: Reading.[Cute]]

The expression pack is indeed cute, but Cai Xukun’s mood at this time is not cute at all.

At this time, the fans who didn't know the mood of the main owner had already swarmed up.

"Brother, do you also like reading this book?! Then I want to go see it too!"

"Everything recommended by our Kunkun must be good things. The best Kunkun lives up to its name!"

"Damn! Why is there no paper book?! If there is, I can immediately place an order for 100 copies to support brother!"

"Yeah, why are these publishers so slow?! I have money in my pocket, queuing up waiting to spend it!"

…

"Editor-in-chief, netizens are saying we are slow."

Xiao Wang of the data group, who is keen on surfing the Internet, is reading netizens’ messages to the floral shirt editor-in-chief.

At this moment, the editor-in-chief wearing a floral shirt had a solemn expression.

The heart is even more capitalized regret.

Misread it!

He originally thought that his evaluation of the two books 'The Old Man and the Sea' and 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' was already very high.

The initial publishing fee was 100,000 per book, which is 200,000 for two books.

This is already a price much higher than ordinary bestsellers.

I thought it would be a nailed-down cooperation, but I didn't expect to be rejected.

The floral shirt editor-in-chief once suspected whether the author named Pig-Raising Big Shot was too arrogant?!

But now, reality immediately gave himself a slap in the face!

What author is too arrogant?!

It is clearly that he took 200,000 to insult others!

This is a masterpiece nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature!

Mere 200,000 is nothing!

It is not too much to add a zero behind it!

Thinking of this, the floral shirt editor-in-chief jumped up from the chair and dialed the number he had contacted once before.

"Hello, may I ask if you are the Pig-Raising Big Shot? I am... the editor-in-chief of Machine Industry Press who contacted you before..."

After Ye Xuan answered the phone, he heard the editor-in-chief on the opposite side stammering to express his worship of his work, and then carefully put forward his request.

"The biggest condition we can offer here is 1 million copyright fees for each of the two books.

If we can cooperate, the royalty rate here is 10% for you, do you think it works..."

Ye Xuan pondered.

The bulk of the author’s income comes from royalties.

And the main composition of royalties comes from three parts: pricing, royalty rate, and sales volume.

Among them, the most intuitive influence is the royalty rate.

Before receiving the call from Machine Industry Press, Ye Xuan had already received calls from several other publishers.

Most of the royalty rates they could offer were between 7%-8%.

Now Machine Industry Press is willing to give him 10%, which is indeed quite sincere.

Of course, that itself also has the support of Ye Xuan’s strength behind him.

At this time, the floral shirt editor-in-chief on the other side was still nervously waiting for Ye Xuan’s reply on the phone.

His heart beat faster and faster until Ye Xuan’s faint voice came.

"That’s it, I agree."

At this moment, these two words were simply the sound of nature to the floral shirt editor-in-chief!

Deal!

He knew in his heart that a 10% royalty rate might still be unbelievably high for other publishers!

But he had a hunch in his heart.

These two books will definitely bring unparalleled returns to his own publishing house!

It is even an excellent opportunity for Machine Industry Press to go to the next level! ===== CHAPTER 32 =====
