I Can See Their Cheating Rates - Chapter 29

“…Please don’t worry, host. There won’t be any problems with the system. I can only say that Song Junyao is too fickle.”
Song Junyao had thought of a perfect excuse for Wang Dong…
She felt that the reason why she couldn’t help him was because she was too useless. In the end, they had to rely on Wang Dong’s part-time job as a novelist for them to seek a future as scientific researchers!
At the thought of this, she admired Wang Dong even more.
“Sorry, I was too impulsive previously. I’ll definitely develop new things! I’ll go back to the research center first. Take your time.”
Wang Dong: “?”
What the hell?
He had not said anything, right? Why did it feel like Song Junyao was imagining a bunch of things herself?
“Mr. Wang? What do you think?” The man in a suit asked tentatively.
Wang Dong returned to his senses and cleared his throat. “Wait a minute, I’ll go discuss with someone first.”
With that, he returned to the club. The club members were still discussing intensely.
He waved at Qin Sixia, and the two of them entered the single room inside one after another.
“Huaxia Literature Publishing House is here to discuss the book. I want to hand this matter to you.”
Previously, Twilight was published in magazines, so it was a good thing that it could be published as a book now.
She said nervously, “But I’m not good at discussing numbers. My mathematics is very bad so I don’t think I’ll do a good job. Why don’t we invite the teacher over?”
“This is inevitable. You should learn it too.”
Wang Dong had often discussed cooperation with others in his previous life, so he was not unfamiliar with these things.
Qin Sixia’s mind was in a mess. Why did he have to assign this to her?
“Then how should we split the publishing rights?”
After hearing the three words “publishing rights”, Wang Dong helplessly held his forehead and said, “The right to publish is not a simple right. It is divided into many sub categories. For example, paper publication is different from audio books and e-books. Adaptations into comics, animations, and movies all involve different rights.”
Qin Sixia was from the Chinese department and didn’t know much about publishing.
After hearing that, she lowered her head in shame. After all, she was the one who said she wanted to be the manager.
In the end, she knew nothing.
Wang Dong paused for a moment and continued, “When the time comes, you can tell that person that you will only give the replication and distribution rights of the Chinese mainland. We’ll get sixty percent, and they’ll get forty percent.”
Originally, 50-50 was the safest method. But this was Twilight after all. Since the other party came over and even offered to print so many copies, they must have recognized the potential.
Therefore, 60% was definitely not a problem.
“Oh, I understand! I’ll tell him now.”
Qin Sixia worshiped Wang Dong even more. She didn’t expect the other party to know so much. As expected of a genius!
He added, “Wait, there’s still the copyright. Let’s let them have it for five years first. If they want to continue after that, we’ll ask for seventy percent then.”
“Alright.”
Therefore, the two of them walked out again. Wang Dong stood at the side, in case Qin Sixia said something wrong.
In the end, the two parties signed the right to publish the book for six years, but the 60 to 40 split made the man in the suit hesitate for a long time. “Forget it, I’m sure this book will become popular. It’s not impossible for us to do Mr. Wang a favor. I hope we can reach a long-term cooperation.”
It was definitely not a loss for them. After all, they got to tie down an author with limitless potential.
“Alright, thank you.”
The two of them held hands for a few seconds before letting go.
Qin Sixia’s worried heart finally relaxed. Negotiation was too difficult!
“By the way, is Mr. Wang free? I want to hold a signing event to attract more traffic. Your appearance isn’t bad either. What do you think?”
How could Wang Dong refuse a chance to increase his reputation?
“No problem.”
As soon as this news was released, many venues contacted the publishing firm overnight. They all wanted the signing event of Twilight to be held at their place!
Even a fool knew that this event would bring the place a huge amount of traffic!
Traffic represented consumers. As long there were consumers, there would be unimaginable economic benefits!
Not to mention a novel as popular as Twilight. The sales it could bring was even five or six times higher than other books!
Who didn’t want to pick up such a good opportunity?!
Therefore, various bookstores, cafes, and others were already competing for it!
They all hoped to capture this large-scale activity in their hands!
At the same time.
As the division leader of the public relations division, it was time for Wang to get sponsors for the upcoming Welcome Gala.
The so-called sponsorship was just them asking a certain merchant to sponsor an activity organized by the school. The advantage was that the merchant’s name would be advertised.
Take the University Singer Competition for example.
If it was sponsored by a cafe at the university entrance named Cat Plus Cafe, the title of the competition would becomeo Cat Plus University Singer Competition.
There would also be banners from the Cat Plus Cafe and various other signs.
Therefore, some businesses were willing to support it. After all, such advertising methods were able to convert some of the students into consumers. However, there were also businesses who felt that it wouldn’t produce much effect, so they chose to be stingy!
In the activity room of the public relations division.
Although it was called an activity room, it was actually a storage room.
As there was no one around for a long time, the school placed the extra things inside.
At this moment. three boys sat in their chairs, their expressions seeming a little ugly.
The person on the left said, “It’s strange. In terms of qualifications, no matter what, it should be our turn to be the division leader. After all, we’re second year students. And yet we’re being suppressed by a little brat who just entered school! In my opinion, this position should belong to Brother Lei!”
“Yeah! I even suspect that someone in the Student Union is that kid’s relative. Otherwise, how could he become a division leader in his first year? Although I heard that his studies are pretty good, being a division leader isn’t something that can be done just because you’re good at studying!”
The person on the right said angrily, “Yeah, so what if they got the most awards? I think that the so-called literary club deliberately only recruited geniuses, right? Otherwise, how could it have gotten so many awards?!”
This was really a misunderstanding.
When Liang Zongguang and Ruan Zecheng recruited people, they didn’t really have a specific criteria.. The reason there were so many top students was because there were a lot of top students in the queue. That day was the day of the supplementary exam. Even if those with poor grades wanted to join, they had no choice but to obediently take the exams in the classroom.
Lei Jiacheng frowned and said, “The student union is also supported by the teachers. I think that boy’s grades are good, so he won the teacher’s favor. After the student union brought it up, how could the teacher have any objections?”
“Brother Lei, did someone hit the corners of your mouth?”
The person on the left was confused.
The more Lei Jiancheng thought about it, the angrier he became. He accidentally pulled the wound on the corner of his mouth and then gasped, “Damn it! It was beaten up by that bastard Mu Lingxue!”
The other two widened their eyes.
“Brother Lei, don’t tell me you really went to the martial arts club to look for her?”
The person on the right asked in disbelief.
The answer was obvious.
Lei Jiacheng said unhappily, “Yes, I wanted to have a good talk with her. The election of a first-year division leader this time violated the rules. I wanted to get an explanation, but in the end, I was beaten up by that Mu Lingxue!”
And it was completely a one-sided beating.
“I’ve already thought of a way to deal with that kid. How dare he snatch the position of division leader from a senior.. I’ll definitely make him pay the price!”
