Shenzhen, as the biggest beneficiary after the reform and opening up, this new first-tier city whose GDP has surpassed Yangcheng after more than ten years, is a place where you can know what it means when you step out of your home, where birds hate their feathers and animals hate their hair, just like Wang Hub

As described in his "The Journey of Bitter Heat", the sun's disk does not move away at noon, and all nations are as if they were in a torrential furnace.

At this time, Shencheng was like this in the midsummer of July.

Cheng Lixue was moved by his parents' surprise and the feeling that his son must have suffered a lot since he could only score a few hundred points in the exam at the beginning and now ranks fourth in the city. Cheng Lixue got a score of 739, which was expected by Cheng Lixue, but Qingshan was not a good person after all.

Where he lacked genius, he took the high school entrance examination again as a reborn person, but he only got fourth place. You know, Cheng Lixue really used all his strength.

It seems that I have lost some points in English. If Cheng Lixue has any weakness, it is only in foreign languages.

On July 15th, Cheng Lixue finally finished writing the end of the last chapter of "Spring Breeze". When he typed the three words "completed the book", a sense of sadness suddenly came over him. Cheng Lixue smoked a cigarette and was stunned for a long time.

The end of a book will give people an infinite sense of loss. This is true for the readers who read the book, and even more so for the writer.

Not to mention, most of this book is true stories that happened when Cheng Lixue was a boy in his previous life.

Of course, the protagonists in it, Cheng Lixue, naturally did not use their real names.

On July 16, Cheng Lixue took a train from Shencheng to Jiangyang, the provincial capital.

The largest and most publishing houses in each province are in the provincial capital, so Jiangzhou is not included.

Jiangzhou Publishing House in Jiangyang is the largest and most famous publishing house in the Jiangnan region. In the previous life, "Spring Breeze" was also published by the editor-in-chief of this publishing house.

After Cheng Li learned about Jiang Yang, he submitted "Spring Breeze" to Jiangzhou Publishing House, and then rented a room in a nearby hotel. He was waiting for a reply from Jiangzhou Publishing House.

A week later, the manuscript of "Spring Breeze" was finished, and Cheng Lixue discussed the contract with the contracted editor of Jiangzhou Publishing House.

Zhou Lifu looked at the nearly sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in front of him with some surprise. Jiangzhou Publishing House, as the largest publishing house in Jiangzhou, received countless manuscripts every day. Originally, Cheng Lixue's manuscript would have been reviewed at least half if it was reviewed according to normal procedures.

It took a month to reply. I just heard that the editor Shen Yan saw the potential of this manuscript and handed it directly to the editor-in-chief. The editor-in-chief then handed the manuscript to the editor-in-chief. So, it took only a week to finalize it.

To sign a contract with the author to publish the novel.

Zhou Lifu has naturally read this manuscript. Both the content of the writing and the personal thoughts revealed between the lines have reached a very high level. He originally thought that the author of this novel must be at least forty or fifty years old.

His age, least of all the experience revealed in the book, some are in his thirties or forties.

As a result, when the author came over, Zhou Lifu found that his age was far from his guess.

However, after talking to him for a period of time, Zhou Lifu had to admit one thing, that is, some people's talents are regardless of age.

"Generally, for newcomers, we can only provide 5% of the royalty income." Zhou Lifu said.

"Too little." Cheng Lixue shook his head and said: "Ten percent, Jiangyang is not just the Jiangzhou Publishing House. If your company can't give this price, I think the Jiangda Publishing House not far from here

It shouldn’t disappoint me.”

The reason why Cheng Lixue chose Jiangzhou Publishing House was because in his previous life, Jiangzhou Publishing House was the first publisher to ask him to publish the book "Spring Breeze". At that time, Cheng Lixue's urgent need was solved. He could really pay off his debts by relying on

It was not the copyright fee from the movie adaptation of "Spring Breeze", but the novel royalties from the book "Spring Breeze". Therefore, with the idea of ​​​​repaying his gratitude, Cheng Lixue found Jiangzhou Publishing House again. It was only 5%. In fact,

It's too little. This is the lowest price offered by the publisher. Considering the benefits that Cheng Lixue can bring from rewriting "Spring Breeze" after his rebirth, even 12% is not an exaggeration.

Of course, 12% is the price for a well-known writer, and the publishing house will definitely not give him that much. However, if some editor-in-chief of the publishing house determines that the book will be a bestseller, even a newcomer can give him 8% to 8%.

Ten percent. If Cheng Lixue changed publishers, someone would definitely give him ten percent of the royalties after reading the manuscript.

Of course, this is the first negotiation between both parties, and there must be room for both sides.

Jiangda Publishing House is an affiliated publishing house of Jiangzhou University in the provincial capital, and is also a very famous publishing house in the entire Jiangzhou Province.

"Ten percent of it is already a best-seller. Is Mr. Cheng so confident that your book will be a hit?" Zhou Lifu asked.

"I think it only took a week for you to give the answer. It's easier for you to give this answer than me." Cheng Lixue said with a smile.

Zhou Lifu laughed and said: "Okay, then ten percent."

Zhou Lifu had someone print out a copy of the contract and then handed it to Cheng Lixue.

Cheng Lixue carefully read the contract, and after making sure it was correct, he signed his real name and pen name on it.

In fact, the bottom line given to him by the editor-in-chief Ren Ping is 10%. As long as it does not exceed 10%, the book can be signed.

Zhou Lifu has not finished reading this book, but from the first half of the book, he can imagine that within half a year, this book will sweep all major campuses.

Cheng Lixue finally signed the publishing rights of "Spring Breeze" with Jiangzhou Publishing House under the pseudonym Cheng Menlixue.

This was also the pen name he used in his previous life.

Of course, what Cheng Lixue signed was only the publishing rights and a series of adaptation rights, but Cheng Lixue did not sign them.

After signing the publishing rights of "Spring Breeze", Cheng Lixue came to Jiangyang Bus Station.

After searching several times, I finally found the bus to Qingshan.

Sitting in the car, watching Jiangyang bus station go away, Cheng Lixue's heart was beating nervously.

Shy of being close to home, Cheng Lixue has been away from Qingshan for many years. There are too many people here that he deserves to miss.

Two hours later, the car drove into Qingshan Bus Station.

After getting out of the car, Cheng Lixue blocked the sun with his hands and looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar place with a smile on his lips.

Counting from the end of the college entrance examination in his previous life, he has not been back to this place for more than ten years.

At that time, his parents were always in Shenzhen. Cheng Lixue also went to Shenzhen to spend time with them during the winter vacation from university. After graduating from university, he went to work and had no time to come back here.

This place carries Cheng Lixue’s entire youth!

Cheng Lixue walked out of Qingshan Bus Station facing the bright sunshine in midsummer.
Chapter completed!
