Chapter 305 Deal!

Chapter 305 Deal!

"Make an offer!"

Kamiyo Hakufeng looked at the fifty-year-old man in front of him and said calmly:

"50% share plus full copyright!"

After hearing this, the white-haired Yamanaka Turf frowned even more and said angrily:

"It's fine if Kodansha next door takes 40% share, but you want to take 50% from me?!"

"Ridiculous!"

"Do you really think that I'm old and can be easily fooled by a young man like you?"

Kamiyo Hakufeng was not intimidated by the old man, but just laughed softly:

" If you can give me 50%, I can guarantee that all submissions will be given priority to your company in the future. "

"After all, you don't want me to run to other publishing houses with better treatment after submitting these novels, right?"

"For example, your mortal enemy Kodansha, I think the editor-in-chief there will definitely be willing to accept the manuscripts that you can't get."

"And I think you also know that in addition to looking for other publishing houses, I can actually publish at my own expense!"

After hearing this, Yamanaka Tsurugi's face became a little solemn.

If it was other ignorant brats who said self-publishing, he would definitely laugh his teeth off.

Even before this Kamishiro Hakufeng showed him the beginnings of the other manuscripts, he would also laugh at this brat for daring to publish at his own expense?

Don't you know that without the help of a publishing house, your personal sales channels will have limits anyway!

And in addition to sales channels, there are many more miscellaneous things.

For example, the most important one is the money required for self-publishing.

This is not a small amount!

However, he asked someone to check the boy's information in advance.

He learned that the boy was the owner of a coffee shop, and his annual income was over 100 million!

He wanted to publish at his own expense, which was absolutely possible.

But the most important thing was that the novels he wrote were too magical, the kind that you couldn't stop reading once you started.

Even he, an old bookworm who had been reading for 50 or 60 years, couldn't stop reading!

The Internet is so developed now that as long as Kamishiro Baifeng sells his books in other publishing houses in the early stage and accumulates a lot of fans, he can really choose to sell books on the Internet.

But this is a gamble!

It is impossible for ordinary authors to do this when they are not sure whether their next book can make money!

Because self-publishing itself is a money-burning thing.

But I have to admit that Kamishiro-kun, this kid, does have the confidence to do this!

By then, he will have all three, whether it is money, works, or fame!

In addition, everyone likes handsome men and beautiful women now.

A boy like him who is more handsome than a star, plus the title of a genius author, as long as the operation is proper, his popularity will definitely explode in a short time!

By then, as long as Kamishiro Hakufeng can finish writing the beginning of the novel that he just showed me and publish it at his own expense, the income will definitely be very high!

Let’s not talk about whether he can earn more than in the publishing house, but what is certain is that the copyright is 100% in his hands!

And after he becomes famous, other publishing houses will flock to him to ask for cooperation.

Even if he publishes at his own expense, he is still willing to help.

After all, the publishing house itself has this service, because they can make a lot of money from it, so many publishing houses are willing to do so!

So at that time, it’s not a question of whether his company wants him or not, but a question of which company he chooses to cooperate with.

Kamishiro Hakufeng is indeed very smart and knows how to negotiate with the words of self-publishing!

And the most important thing is, this brat actually used his mortal enemy Kodansha to speak?

The editor-in-chief of Kodansha is his lifelong enemy!

After that guy knows that he didn’t reach an agreement with Kamishiro Hakufeng, he will definitely be willing to accept the manuscript of this genius boy!

Maybe at the Naoki Prize ceremony, they will definitely take the opportunity to ridicule me.

Yamanaka Turfu couldn't stand Kodansha's cheap bones riding on his head and shitting, nor could he stand the fact that he missed a genius author!

He thought again and again, closed his eyes and snorted:

"In the future, you can get at least 50% of the share and 80% of the copyright for each book you sign!"

"In addition to the above conditions, as long as you submit your book to our publishing house, I will give you the best configuration to promote it!"

"But the requirement is that you must submit it to me first!"

"And you must never submit it to Kodansha!"

Yamanaka Turfu saw Bai Feng thinking, and reminded him again:

"Boy, stop when you are ahead, this is my last concession!"

"And I think what my old man said, the weight in the industry is also It is still very important. "

"I hope you can make the right choice!"

Kamiyo Hakufeng pretended not to hear the old man's threat and smiled slightly:

"Although I know that you, the editor-in-chief Yamanaka, don't have a good relationship with the editor-in-chief of Kodansha, I think that person should be very happy to accept my manuscript, but it doesn't matter. Seeing that you have been more upright than that editor-in-chief throughout your life, and you have also been the chairman of the Writers Association, I will of course agree to your proposal!"

"So, deal!"

When Yamanaka Tofu heard that Bai Feng had also checked his deeds with the editor-in-chief of Kodansha, he was a little angry!

But after hearing Bai Feng say that he was more upright than that bastard, he slightly raised his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking that this kid was quite talkative!

"Okay, I'm tired!"

"I will contact them about your contract."

"You can sign a contract with them after you go down."

After Jindai Bai Feng nodded goodbye, he left here and took the elevator.

Prepare to go back to the floor where you were just now and find Chinatsu Igarashi and the others to sign a contract.

On the way to the elevator, Kamishiro Bai Feng looked at the manuscript in his schoolbag.

He knows that if you want to make money by cooperating with others in this world, you must know how to make profits.

If you don't give up the benefits, then others will choose to destroy what they can't get!

And it wouldn't be too much trouble for him to actually publish it at his own expense.

Money is not a trivial matter, but mainly all aspects of contacting, setting up sales channels, contacting bookstores, recruiting employees, etc. are very troublesome!

It can’t be done in three or two days, and it will also hit a wall at every turn!

It would be difficult to start this matter without the help of people in the industry.

As for Bai Feng's agreement to transfer 20% of the copyright to the publishing house, there was actually a partial reason.

Because after you give up part of the copyright, the publishing house will work very hard to find channels to find partners, and then sell the adaptation rights in film, television, animation, etc. to the partners!

And the publisher can also raise the asking price very high!

Because they often sell copyrights, they know the maximum price their partners can offer.

But if you don’t choose to give part of the copyright to the publisher, they will basically not help you find a partner, nor will they help you negotiate the price.

If you don’t understand the market price, it will be impossible for you to get high copyright fees.

The publishing house will not help you deal with matters with your partners after you sell the copyright fees.

After all, if others don’t get paid, why should they do these things for you?

Kamidai Bai Feng knew that he was not a superman and could not take care of all aspects.

Let people who know how to do things do it!

Letting others help with things you can't handle yourself is also the first step to making money!

Also, he had checked the identity of Tofu Yamanaka before he came here. He was the former chairman of the Writers Association, and his voice in the industry was indeed very important.

If Kamishiro Hakuho hadn't known that the editor-in-chief of Kodansha was an old enemy of Tofu Yamanaka, and knew that the two would scold each other when they saw each other, and would like to trip each other up every day, he wouldn't have dared to jump like this!

But fortunately the final result was pretty good.

They are still within the acceptable range of Kamdai Bai Feng.

In fact, his final bottom line price was just 50% plus 50% copyright.

After all, it is really difficult to obtain full copyright.

Even great authors may not be able to do it.

He is still a bit reluctant to mention it as a newbie.

Fortunately, I felt that just negotiating with "White Night Journey" and "Love Letter" was not enough, so I also took the opportunity to write a few more books, such as "One Liter of Tears", "Blue Life and Death Love", "Jieyou Grocery Store" and so on.

Also, although Kamishiro Shirokaed just said that there are activities on Kodansha’s side where you can get full copyright.

But in fact, it’s just once.

After this event, there is a high probability that we will need to talk again in the future.

Whether we can talk about an 82-80 split is also a question.

Moreover, the company over there is actually bigger than here, and the rules and regulations are clearer. He may not really be able to negotiate the price there.

You may not even meet the editor-in-chief.

But Bai Feng didn't expect that Yamanaka Tofu would agree so easily after hearing that he was going to Kodansha to find the editor-in-chief.

It seems that Yamanaka Tofu is really at odds with the editor-in-chief of Kodansha, and he will definitely not throw away a profitable book to his archenemy!

——

Ding~

The elevator door slowly opened.

Jindai Bai Feng returned to the office of Team C, preparing to sign the contract.

However, I don’t know why the leaders of Group A and Group C, Chinatsu Igarashi, Tominaga and Tsukasa are all here.

And these people were all confused after learning that Kamidai Bai Feng had reached an agreement with the editor-in-chief.

After all, this is a 50-50 split, and Kamidai Bai Feng can still get 80% of the copyright!

You must know that this kind of treatment is only available to top authors today!

Some top authors even don't get 80% of the copyright. At most, only 50% to 70% is very good.

And the god Bai Feng can actually get 80%?

How on earth did he talk to the editor-in-chief?

Igarashi Chinatsu was also very curious and asked directly:

"Kamidai-kun, what did you talk about?"

Jindai Bai Feng shook his head:

"Those are not important."

"Now let's sign the contract first."

Seeing that he didn't intend to say anything, everyone present was curious, but they couldn't continue to ask.

Kamishiro Bai Feng glanced at the editorial leader of Team A and Kazuji Tominaga, wondering why the editor of Team A was also here.

"But why are there so many people here now?"

The leader of Group C, Miyu Ota, frowned at the members of Group A and snorted coldly:

"Kamidai-kun, you don't need to pay attention to them."

"As for your contract, I have already asked my subordinates to draw it up."

"I'll bring it over in a moment for you to sign."

Igarashi Chinatsu nodded heavily and said:

"that is!"

The leader of Team A, Maruyama Yoji, looked at Kamishiro Shirokaed, stood up and shook hands with him directly, smiling and saying:

"Hello, Kamishiro-kun."

"I am Maruyama Yoji, the editor of Team A."

"I also understand about you."

"Although you have already negotiated with the editor-in-chief about the sharing and copyright."

"But because the editor-in-chief only said that you should come down and sign a contract with the editors, he did not specify who you should sign with."

"So we in Team A also want to strive to become your editor!"

Maruyama Yoji knew that the editor-in-chief asked Jindai-kun to take such a generous share and copyright ratio.

It's obvious that the editor-in-chief is definitely very optimistic about Kamishiro-kun!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to give such a superior treatment to a new author!

Although I don’t know how they talked about it, the result is definitely this!

Since the editor-in-chief who has been in the literary world for such a long time has made an exception to give such treatment to Kamishiro-kun, a newcomer, it means that this person must have a promising future!

The kind that definitely makes a lot of money!

It would be such a waste to hand over a great author with a promising future to Ota Miyu and the others!

For the sake of performance, it is impossible for him not to strive for it!

The workplace is like a battlefield!

If you don’t fight, others will fight!

As long as you work hard for a little bit, you can get a better reward. How can you not give it a try?

Tominaga Kazuya, the editor of Team A, said with a flattering smile:

"Yes, Kamishiro-kun!"

"Although your salary has been negotiated, please consider carefully when choosing an editor!"

"Everyone in our A team is an ace editor. In addition to novel business matters, if you also need help with personal aspects, you can also contact us as much as we can. As long as we can do it, we will definitely help you. solve!"

“Whether it’s food and daily living, trivial matters in life, helping with transportation to and from school, etc.!”

Igarashi Chinatsu stood up directly, gritted her teeth and said:

"I can do the kind of thing you are talking about!"

Ota Weiyu also nodded and said:

"Yes, what you Group A said are just the basics of being an editor."

"I think this is not a specific reason to choose you!"

Maruyama Yoji frowned, thought for a while and said:

"Kamidai-kun is still a freshman in high school, right?"

"Then you definitely need to attend cram school, right?"

"And all the editors in our A team are students from prestigious universities."

"As long as you want, we can also tutor you in your study for free every day, and promise that you will be admitted to a prestigious school in three years!"

Igarashi Chinatsu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said:

"Kamidai-kun's current grades are number one in the school. He has perfect scores in every subject, so he doesn't need your tutoring!"

Ohta Miyu, Maruyama Yoji, Tominaga and Tsukasa were all stunned and said in unison:

"Number one in the school? Got perfect scores in every subject?"

"Really or not?"

Igarashi Chinatsu quickly looked at Kamishiro Shiro Kaede, looking at him expectantly.

Jindai Bai Feng nodded and said:

"Yes."

At first, the three of them thought that Kamidai Hakuho was just a handsome ordinary male high school student, but they didn't expect that Kamidai Hakuho could be so good at writing novels and also get perfect marks in all subjects?

Isn't this the god of learning?

Even when they were studying, they had never tried anything as outrageous as getting perfect scores in all subjects!

Maruyama Yoji originally thought his proposal was a good one, but now it seemed like a joke to Kamishiro Hakuho. He thought about it again and murmured:

"We can take you to eat at a high-end restaurant every week!"

"Within three months, if you want to travel and collect stories, we can help you pay for your return air tickets and hotel at our own expense!"

Tominaga Kazuji was stunned.

Didn't expect the team leader to be so cruel?

You must know that high-end restaurants, travel tickets, and hotels are not cheap!

Kamdai Bai Feng felt a little uncomfortable when he heard what they were doing.

Although he also wants to hear what conditions you can offer at the beginning.

But these conditions are actually of little use to him now.

Because he doesn't lack that little money.

Kamidai Bai Feng interrupted directly:

"Okay, there's no need for you to be like this."

"I actually don't care about the conditions you mentioned for going to high-end restaurants and traveling."

"As for the editor who signed the contract, I think I'd better choose Ms. Igarashi."

"Because I'm used to keeping in touch and I'm too lazy to change. I don't want to bother with it anymore."

Chinatsu Igarashi and Miyu Ohta were very happy after hearing this. When they were about to say something, the leader of Team A, Maruyama Yoji, quickly interrupted:

"Wait a minute, are you not satisfied with the conditions I just mentioned?"

"It costs a lot to go to high-end restaurants every week and travel at least once every three months. It's a lot of money!"

"You really don't want it?"

Ohta Miyu sneered:

"We can do this too!"

Then the two quarreled.

Igarashi Chinatsu coughed and said:

"I think Kamishiro-kun didn't lie to you."

"Even if he doesn't write novels now, his income is quite high."

"If he wants to go, he can go by himself."

"And the food he cooks is actually better than what the restaurant cooks. As for why I know, it's because I have tasted Kamishiro-kun's food."

Ohta Miyu, Maruyama Yoji, Tominaga and Tsukasa were confused again.

"The income is also quite high?"

"Is it possible that you, Kamidai-kun, are the second generation of rich people?"

Jindai Bai Feng shook his head helplessly and said:

"I'm not a rich second generation, I just ran a small business."

Ota Miyu, Maruyama Yoji, Tominaga Kazushi were a little confused. What kind of small business is this?

Could it be that the income is higher than that of the editors of the three big companies?

After that.

Kamishiro Hakufeng didn't plan to continue listening to their quarrel here.

He still chose Igarashi Chinatsu as his editor.

After all, the conditions on both sides didn't mean much to him.

And the editor-in-chief said that he would give the greatest publicity, so it didn't matter which editor he chose.

After hearing Bai Feng's decision, the people in Group A had no choice but to leave here.

Soon, the contract was signed.

Igarashi Chinatsu knew that she had signed a contract with a great author with a promising future, and she was excited and hurriedly shook Kamishiro Hakufeng's hand:

"Kamishiro-kun, I swear, I will take good care of you!"

"So please give me more advice in the future!"

Kamishiro Hakufeng felt a little strange, but still nodded:

"Well, please give me more advice in the future."

After Kamishiro Hakufeng left.

Oota Miyu, Maruyama Yoji, and Tominaga Kazushi all returned to their positions and began to search for Kamishiro Hakufu's information.

When they found out on the Internet that he actually runs a coffee shop.

The three of them shook their heads helplessly!

He opened a coffee shop in the first year of high school, and you still say you are not a rich second generation?

Although they saw that the coffee shop was very popular on the Internet, they all thought it was the result of his parents' operation.

Otherwise, how could an ordinary first-year high school student achieve this? ——

Kamishiro Hakufu suddenly received a call on the way back to the coffee shop.

[Aibe Shino: I am Aibe Shino, is this Kamishiro himself? ]

[Kamishiro Hakufu: It's me, what's wrong? ]

[Aibe Shino: The reason I called is that our director team will come to the school and the coffee shop to shoot on Monday. You will be free then, right? ]

[Kamishiro Hakufu: There is no problem on my side. ]

[Aibe Shino: That's good, see you on Monday. 】

【Kamiyo Hakufeng: See you on Monday. 】

After hanging up the phone, Kamishiro Hakufeng took a quick look at LINE.

He found that Chitanda Mirai had read his message and it showed as read.

But there was no reply.

Kamishiro Hakufeng smiled helplessly, thinking that this girl might be really angry.
