It was already the end of November when Xiao Han received the sample manuscript sent by Qin He.

When he received Qin He's sample draft that day, it was already afternoon. Because his colleagues were going to have a dinner party in the evening, he put the sample draft in his briefcase and prepared to take it home to read after the dinner party.

At the wine table, Xiao Han talks about the joy of drinking. Among the literati, there is a lot of love and love at the wine table. When colleagues talk about the past and the present, they are so happy.

Xiao Han drank a little too much. Under the stimulation of hot pot and wine, Xiao Han felt a little weightless on his butt. He had to go to the bathroom. He picked up the briefcase under the seat and rushed to the bathroom.

After taking off his pants, Xiao Han realized that he had forgotten to bring the paper. Looking at the briefcase, Xiao Han thought about it and opened it, and began to search.

After searching for a long time, Xiao Han only found a thick envelope. He drank a little too much. After thinking for a long time, he patted his head and remembered that this was the sample manuscript sent by Teacher Li Yuncong.

Xiao Han looked at the envelope in his hand and hesitated whether to open it. He always felt that it was impolite to wipe his butt with the sample paper sent by someone.

In the end, Xiao Han defeated his emotions rationally. He quickly tore open the envelope, pulled out a thick stack of manuscripts from it, turned on the first page, and was about to start reading.

He had already made up his mind to read it first. If the manuscript is OK, just wipe a piece of paper. If it doesn't work, just wipe a few more pieces and just refuse the party directly.

Let's start with a file.

Xiao Han saw this and his mind was full of thought

Isn't this a historical novel? What's the situation

Despite his mind full of questions, Xiao Han still calmed down and started to look. Anyway, he hadn't finished shit yet, so let's pass the time!

Before he knew it, Xiao Han had been squatting in the toilet for almost half an hour. He had read most of the sample papers that Qin He had sent him. He was not here for a long time until his colleague saw that he had not come, thinking that something had happened, so he came to the toilet to knock on the door, and woke him up.

He quickly asked his colleague for toilet paper and wiped his butt, and hurried back to the banquet. When everyone saw his appearance, they asked quickly.

Maybe it was because he had some wine, or maybe he saw something fun, Xiao Han took out the manuscript sent by Qin He and took out the beginning chapter for his boss to read.

Xiao Han divided the other manuscripts again, and he had not finished reading them, so he started to read them. The dining table, which was still lively, soon had a quiet scene. Everyone was familiar with this situation.

Soon after the boss finished reading the first chapter, he replaced the second chapter with the people next to him with a little unfulfilled feeling.

In this way, until half an hour later, the boss finally finished reading Qin He's sample script. He touched his beard and asked in confusion.

"This manuscript is interesting. Is this author going to publish it or?"

Xiao Han had already finished reading it, but the boss asked, and he quickly answered.

"Editor-in-Chief, you should have heard of this author."

"I've heard of it"

"A few months ago, an author named Li Yuncong published more than a dozen articles in our magazine. Do you still have any impression of it?"

"Oh! I remembered it, it was him! Has he written a novel recently?"

Xiao Han wanted to tell me about Qin He's appointment for Zhiyin Magazine, but he was afraid that the editor-in-chief, who was cautious, would get stuck in the publication of the book, so he didn't say it out loud in the end, but passed it perfunctorily.

After everyone has read these sample drafts, all of these writing workers have shifted the topic to this book.

This book is not a historical novel in the traditional sense. Some serious editors are not optimistic about this book, but they do not reject the publication of this book. They feel that this book should only be loved by some young students. For these serious readers, the book is not particularly in line with their appetite.

However, the novelty of this book made them discuss a lot. They started discussing Zhu Yuanzhang from this book, started discussing the Ming Dynasty from Zhu Yuanzhang, and finally stopped discussing until the banquet ended.

Xiao Han took back the sample draft and took the initiative to send the editor-in-chief home. When he arrived at the doorstep, the editor-in-chief was free and authentic.

"Xiao Han! If I don't let me take responsibility for this book!"

When Xiao Han heard this, his face collapsed instantly!

Seeing Xiao Han's expression, the editor-in-chief laughed and patted Xiao Han on the shoulder.

"I'm just kidding, haha! I personally like this book, but you have also seen Lao Zhang and the others' opinions. This book may not be a best-selling, but I personally still think this book is very interesting. It's the first time I have seen it. Don't worry about it! I support you, please contact the author tomorrow! See if you can sign a buyout contract. If you don't agree, sign for ten years!"

When Xiao Han heard the editor-in-chief's words, his face instantly smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he nodded quickly to say yes.

Xiao Han is indeed optimistic about this book, and he even vaguely feels that this book will bring him an opportunity.

The editor-in-chief is worthy of being the editor-in-chief. Although some old editors are not optimistic about it, they also noticed that this book is a big deal, so Xiao Han bought out the copyright of this book.

The next day, Xiao Han called Qin He. Now, there is a phone number installed in Xingwang Supermarket, so they can contact you directly.

Xiao Han proposed to buy out the copyright, but Qin He of course disagreed and refused directly.

Seeing that Qin He was so straightforward, Xiao Han finally proposed a ten-year copyright contract. Qin He thought about it and agreed.

The copyright buyout contract proposed by Xiao Han naturally paid Qin He a one-time fee. All the profits generated by this novel have nothing to do with Qin He, at most they are signed.

Let’s not talk about Qin He’s unwillingness to buy out. Even if he is willing, Xiao Han probably won’t have a high price for the buyout.

After all, they are just optimistic now, and I don’t know if it will be popular.

In the end, "Those things in the Ming Dynasty" were finally published under the operation of Xiao Han.

The first print of 10,000 copies is 8% royalty!

In fact, the price of this royalty is still because of Li Yuncong's face. Qin He's first three-body product was priced at 19.8. It was only 5% of the royalty at that time, and only 3,000 copies were only two or three thousand yuan. In the end, in order to ask Lao Cui to help him find a bookseller, Qin He didn't even ask for the money and just treated him as a treat to dinner.

The royalties for real bestsellers are as high as 15 to 20%. Every time those famous writers publish new books, they are even willing to pay more than 20%, but Qin He can only get this treatment at the moment.

However, Qin He believes that this book will become popular. There are seven books. Currently, he has only signed the first and second contracts. At that time, the sales will naturally increase the price. If it sells well, the reprint royalties will naturally increase the price.

In fact, Qin He was not sure, and the main three-body series hit him too hard.

Qin He sent the manuscripts from the first and second parts. It was already mid-December. It was probably already 1998 when he saw the sample book.

Compared with last year's Spring Festival, the Lin family's Spring Festival is completely different. The situation at home last year is deeply engraved in the children's memories.

During the Spring Festival in 1998, the Lin family spent 28,000 yuan to buy a two-story building in the town. From then on, the Lin family settled down here.

It will be convenient for Lin Jun and Lin Qing to study in the future, and Qin He plans to spend a year and a half to see if he wants to buy a floor of house in the county. The house is really not expensive now, so he will leave a place for the children to settle down in the future.
