Chapter 85 Editor-in-Chief Hu Shuo
Winnie, who was in the office building of the High-tech Zone, was stunned when she saw the reply. She had asked the fat man Happy Ge before, and he said that his home was in Rongcheng. However, she had checked Xia Ge's ID card, and the address was actually near the Magic City TV station.
It seems that he is here in Magic City. Winnie looked at the QQ messages that kept reminding other authors of the slap, shook his head, and hung up the free distraction. Then he immediately took out the cosmetics and ran to the lounge to start makeup repair.
The editor is actually very tired, and there are thousands of authors she is responsible for. She wants to quit every day because she is annoyed by all kinds of news.
But the job earned considerable income, and she was reluctant to give up.
The editors' favorite authors are still authors like Fatty, who have good grades in silent writing. Other authors Winnie are too lazy to pay attention to, but Fatty One is different.
After seeing the ID card photo, I knew that the fat guy was actually a handsome guy. Winnie dressed up carefully and then went downstairs to wait.
The fat guy said he would arrive in more than ten minutes, and it was too fast, so she didn't have time to change her clothes or something.
The demons in winter were a little wet and cold. Winnie wrapped her down jacket tightly, put on her furry ear protection, and rubbed her hands and waited.
I fantasized about the first time I saw the fat guy. She was really curious about the fat guy. Why did she call him a fat guy obviously handsome?
Could it be that the photo of the ID card was from a few years ago, and the handsome guy who used to be fatter?
A red Porsche suddenly appeared in sight with all kinds of fantasies, but Winnie didn't care. She thought it was a certain boss passing by. She often saw various luxury cars passing by here.
Xia Ge had previously learned that Winnie would wait for her on the roadside, and was wearing a pink down jacket, a hat and white ear protection.
At this time, I saw this girl in her 20s on the roadside and knew that she was the one she was looking for.
"Dudu." Xia Ge honked the trumpet twice.
Only then did Winnie see that the face that appeared after the Porsche window was pulled down was the fat guy she secretly kept on her desk and occasionally peeked at.
"Ah, how did you drive a sports car... I thought you were taking a taxi." Winnie exclaimed.
"Come on, get in the car and take me to the parking lot." Xia Ge smiled.
Winnie was fascinated by Xia Ge's smile and ran to the side to get in the car. Her heart kept thumping.
She naturally didn't know that this was because Xia Ge equipped the [Victor's Medal] when he saw Winnie.
Combined with [scum guy's glasses] Xia Ge's charm has been increased by 100% in all aspects.
In order to win the copyright of his anime and game today and take the initiative in negotiations, Xia Ge even prepared to use the handsome man's plan.
"It's very cold. Here's the hot coffee I prepared for you." Xia Ge handed a cup of hot cappuccino in the middle of the car to Winnie.
In fact, at the beginning, he didn't even know whether Winnie was a man or a woman, but he just wanted to buy a glass of water and let the editor talk more about him later. Unexpectedly, this action was so warm that Winnie was so warm.
Winnie joined the trip this year and was in contact with some straight men in steel, where people would give her a cup of hot coffee when it was cold.
She had been rubbing her hands just now, and her face turned white. Now she hugged the cup quickly, and a warm feeling suddenly came to her hands, which also made her heart a little hot.
Xia Ge is really good at doing things, and this cup of coffee is still a glass.
"I saw you and realized that you were not a fat man at all. I'd better call your name Xia Ge." Winnie smiled.
"Okay, is your real name Winnie?" Xia Ge also smiled.
"Yeah, your surname is Li, your name is Winnie. You might as well call me Winnie." Winnie said.
"By the way, what's going on here this time? I asked me to meet the boss, he was very busy. If you weren't the hottest newcomer now, he would definitely not have time to see you." Winnie asked in confusion.
"Go up and say." Xia Ge drove the car and came down to the parking lot with Winnie's guidance.
Today, his personality is still a challenger, confident and decisive. He likes to control everything.
From beginning to end, Xia Ge did not disclose his purpose in advance. He was to prevent the editor-in-chief and the copyright department from taking too much time into consideration.
The editor-in-chief is Hu Shuo, who is already waiting in the conference room at this time. Winnie took Xia Ge into the conference room. He stood up enthusiastically and shook hands and said, "Hello, fat man, I am the editor-in-chief. Winnie is really right. You are such a handsome guy."
"Hu Da is just as handsome, haha." Xia Ge also complimented.
Hu Shuo looks 1.75 meters tall, only in his thirties, and looks very energetic with a buzz cut. He is wearing a suit, dressed up by a typical elite in the Magic City.
The two of them made some polite words, and Winnie brought in two cups of hot water from outside and sat aside and listened.
She still doesn't know what Xia Ge is going to talk about.
Do you want to sign the great god contract in advance?
Didn’t I promise him that I would give it to him as long as I subscribe to 15,000 yuan!
"I wonder what you are looking for me this time Xia Ge?" Hu Shuo said strangely.
Xia Ge smiled and said, "Actually, I want to discuss with the website whether my novel can be free."
Hu Shuo and Winnie both frowned. In fact, the author has the final say on whether the author's book should be free.
But this is an ordinary author, Xia Ge's books are different. Since signing the contract, Winnie has been very optimistic. Various websites have been recommended continuously.
The website pays a cost, so naturally I hope to make some money back by subscribing.
As for copyright, these are things that are considered after millions of words.
Besides, they only sell 10% of the copyright fee and only earn 5 million yuan.
As for the subscription fee, Xia Ge's two books are estimated to cost tens of millions or even twenty millions a year.
Their website can be divided into half, and if it is free, the website's revenue will become smaller.
"This is probably inappropriate. There is no free precedent for popular novels on our website. Besides, if it is free, you can read here and pirated copies. How can the value of these two books be reflected? I'm afraid the copyright fee will be affected in the end. Xia Ge still needs to consider more." Hu Shuo frowned.
Xia Ge thought to himself that people with the surname Hu are indeed very nonsense.
If you pursue the best interest of IP, the more people you watch, the better. No matter whether it is a pirated version or not.
However, Xia Ge still said, "If it's not free, then charge a cent for each chapter."
Hu Shuogang refused once, but it was not easy to refuse immediately. Instead, he changed the topic and said: "Can Xia Ge tell me why I want to be free?"
"I want to expand the popularity of my novels to facilitate the development of copyright." Xia Ge said truthfully.
"In addition, I hope to reclaim my game adaptation rights and comic adaptation rights."
"Are you contacted the company that purchased the copyright?" Hu Shuo could only think so.
Xia Ge shook his head, mainly because he didn't want to tear his face.
In fact, if he is not posted on Qicheng.com, he will compensate him at most ten times the website promotion fee. According to the website calculation, he will be able to pay one million yuan.
But this is an offense to Qicheng. Qicheng is now a subsidiary of Tencent. It has merged many sites and is the largest online literature company in China.
Offending the journey means offending Tencent, Xia Ge can only test it a little bit.
"Actually, I was preparing to develop the anime myself." Xia Ge said at the end.
Seeing Hu Shuo's strange look, Winnie thought of the coffee that Xia Ge brought to her before. She leaned into Hu Shuo's ear and whispered: "Xia Ge is a local, and the Porsche sports car I drove just now is here. It should be that she is not short of money."
