Chapter 8 How much do you want?

Zhao Zhiping's arrival is like a bombshell in this small supermarket.

Many people were dumbfounded and a little jealous in their hearts: Is this Li Kuo really famous?

Thinking of the previous sarcasm to Li Kuo, these people's faces were so hot.

Qian Shijia's heart was spinning rapidly, thinking about what she should say.

Wang Lidong blushed and felt that he had lost his lord in front of everyone, but his eyes rolled and immediately asked: "You said you are an editor, then you are really an editor? Who knows if you are his friend, come here to say a few words?"

This sentence made some people who were shameful to Li Kuo look forward to it.

Zhao Zhiping looked at Wang Lidong with a little amused: "Who are you? How could I do such a boring thing? Look, this is my work permit." As he said that, he took out his work permit.

Not only this, Zhao Zhiping also took out the photos he carried with him, which were taken by him with several well-known authors in the country.

Now, everything is safe.

Wang Lidong was speechless.

Zhao Zhiping shook his head slightly: "I am idle too... I can't prove it to you as a meal." He turned to Li Kuo and said, "Li Kuo, can we talk?"

Li Kuo had just experienced this huge turning point and was in a mixed mood. When he heard this sentence, he looked at his watch: "Sorry, I'm at work now, why don't you wait."

Zhao Zhiping put down a business card: "Then I'll call me when you get off work, okay?"

...Zhao Zhiping walked out of the supermarket and felt a little emotional: Sure enough, this is really the legendary one, and it is hidden in the city.

After Zhao Zhiping left, the lake water seemed to have been thrown away by stones in the air, and the ripples on the lake water could be felt for a long time.

Qian Shijia coughed dryly, patted Li Kuo on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yes, I didn't expect that our supermarket can still produce talents like you, do it well!" In order to show his peace and humor, he continued: "But remember to concentrate on working hours in the future."

Qian Shijia floated away, and Wang Lidong snorted coldly and followed behind him.

For a time, the supermarket employees felt gloating about Wang Lidong and a little unhappy with Li Kuo's counterattack, but they all went to work and the matter came to an end. However, they all knew that Li Kuo's book seemed to be able to be published.

"Brother Kuo, I knew that your book was well written!" Luo Guang, who was only seventeen years old, didn't understand these things very well, just came over with a smile to celebrate Li Kuo.

Li Kuo also smiled: "Thank you!"

...In the afternoon, Li Kuo called Zhao Zhiping, and the two made an appointment to meet. Zhao Zhiping was very polite and insisted on treating Li Kuo to dinner. Li Kuo thought about it and agreed.

Zhao Zhiping's tone of firmly asking Li Kuo to have a meal made Li Kuo feel that this guy might have to treat himself to some delicacies. After arriving, he realized that this small restaurant was really a small restaurant, close to the road, and any space was occupied. The road was dusty and cars were buzzing.

Li Kuo and Zhao Zhiping sat down in their seats. It was just evening when Lao Yang floated in from the above road, allowing golden dust to fly in the air.

Zhao Zhiping was a little embarrassed: "I think this restaurant is quite delicious, I believe you know one thing: "The place that looks dirty and messy on the outside is the most delicious."

Li Kuo nodded, expressing his acceptance of this argument.

At this time, the two ordered the dishes, and Zhao Zhiping called the waitress inside: "How long will it take for you to serve?"

Waiter: "It's going to take about twenty minutes."

Zhao Zhiping was obviously very hungry and said, "It's so slow... Forget it, give me some boiled water to recharge my hunger first."

The waiter's eyes suddenly widened and said, "This... sir, do you really love to be clean, but... aren't you afraid of being hot?"

Li Kuo and Zhao Zhiping were stunned for a moment, but they thought of some misunderstandings in the blink of an eye. Li Kuo almost whispered the food. Zhao Zhiping blushed and turned into a hot pot: "I mean, give me some water, I want to drink it! What are you thinking about in your young head?!"

The waiter left with a blushing face. Zhao Zhiping said to Li Kuo: "Okay! Let's talk about your book. I personally like this book very much. Today I discussed it with the editor-in-chief. We want your book to be published in our publishing house. Of course, this is the information of our publishing house. You can take a look first."

As he said that, Zhao Zhiping handed Li Kuo some information, all of which were from their publishing house.

Zhenning Publishing House is also a little famous in Zhonghai, mainly publishing novels, essays, and popular social science books. It has also published some best-selling books.

Li Kuo doesn't value these things very much... In this era, at least from Li Kuo's understanding, the advantages of book packaging and various sales have begun to decline, and more things on the Internet are needed to promote them.

What he values ​​more is the price: he needs some money to change his current life, and he needs it strongly.

So, after reading some, Li Kuo said to Zhao Zhiping: "Editor Zhao, thank you for your importance. So if we cooperate, what kind of cooperation method can you adopt?"

Zhao Zhiping: "Now we usually buy out."

Li Kuo didn't ask the price directly. The two of them were silent for a moment. Zhao Zhiping took the initiative to say: "The price we can give you now is 50 yuan per thousand words. Then, according to the sales volume of the book, if it can exceed 10,000 copies, we can share your profit of 1% per book."

As a pity writer in the previous life, 30 yuan per thousand words was very high for Li Kuo... So just after these 50 yuan per thousand words came out, he almost blurted out: "Yes!"

However, at the moment when he was about to speak, Li Kuo suddenly figured it out.

Fifty yuan per thousand words... Say a yarn!

This sounds like a lot, but the problem is that this book only has more than 200,000 words, and in the end it can only get 10,000 yuan...

I bought "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" in my previous life for 10,000 yuan?

How is this possible?

At that moment, Li Kuo smiled bitterly: "Editor Zhao, this price is a bit low, why don't I just put it and wait and see what the data will turn out to come."

Zhao Zhiping also thought of Li Kuo's reaction and said, "Don't worry. If you are not satisfied with the price, we can talk slowly. The main reason is that you are a newcomer, so we can't guarantee many things. In addition, traditional publishing is not easy to mix. This way, if you talk about a price, I'll see if it can work."

Li Kuo felt a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it, it was a business after all, and it was embarrassed that it would only harm him, so he said, "I want 300 per thousand words. If the sales volume exceeds 10,000 copies, I want a 5% profit share."
