Zhang Tan felt surprised, but it was reasonable.

He received a call from Li Yan and reported on the publication progress of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The publishing of the traditional version has progressed very quickly. He has set publishing intentions with the two publishers, both of which have cooperated with publishers. Xiangxiang is Xinya Culture and Taiwan is Xianxian Culture.

Both publishing houses have given very high royalties, which is not much worse than those of the current active Hong Kong and Taiwan masters such as Zhang Feifan, Li Tiebing and others.

For the simplified version of the publication, Li Yan tends to cooperate with Anwei Literature Publishing where she works.

Anwei Literature and Art Publishing House has also been actively expanding its popular literature publishing business recently. With Li Yan's lead, the cooperation intention is very obvious. And it is very generous in its actions, which is no worse than the conditions given by the Lionan People's Publishing House. In terms of channel expansion, it is slightly better than the Lionan People's Publishing House.

"Sister Li, it doesn't matter who you work with. Whoever gives you the best conditions will of course sign with whom. However, if the conditions of the Hunnan People's Publishing House are not bad, I tend to work with them. After all, I am an old friend."

Zhang Tan replied to Li Yan like this.

During his low period, the People's Publishing House came to cooperate in publishing books. Zhang Tan must have remembered this friendship and was also an acquaintance with Wang Guohua. In principle, he certainly wanted to continue to cooperate with him. Previously, "The Four Famous Captures of the Capital" was handed over to the other party for publication. However, when it comes to business, it involves real interests, and can't be influenced by the so-called friendship.

Zhang Tan is not a pure businessman, but he is not a sloppy young man.

Li Yan immediately said: "Okay, I understand. I will combine the conditions of several publishing houses. When the conditions are similar, I will lean towards the Fengnan People's Publishing House."

"Well, Sister Li is so worried. Call me any time if you have anything to do."

After sending Li Yan, Zhang Tan no longer cared about publishing.

He has now handed over all the trivial matters of publishing to Li Yan, and just needs to sit at home and wait for the publisher to come and deliver the manuscript fee.

The summer vacation is two months.

He has already drawn up a schedule.

Basically, we arrange five or six hours of writing time every day, then one hour of tutoring mathematics classes, one hour of reviewing other courses, and two hours of exercise and exercise. The rest of the time is free to arrange, and you can catch fish and shrimp to enjoy the free life in the countryside that young people should enjoy, or you can play guitar, play accordion, sing, and compose music to enjoy the literary and artistic life.

Or brag with grandpa Zhang Henong and ask for some calligraphy together.

Or go to the Internet cafe to play games like Red Alert, CS, Empire Age, Warcraft, etc.

Or go to the city to check out the real estate market and pay special attention to the storefront houses that will be developed into commercial districts in memory. In the future, housing prices will rise like Rockets, and now you can make a profit without losing money. Moreover, he knows Hefei's construction plan better than others, and knows that Hefei's urban center will change in the next ten years.

In less than a few years, Hefei will plan the Binhu New City, move the center southward, and build a Binhu City.

Subsequently, the Anwei Provincial Capital abolished Chaofeng City, which originally surrounded Chaohu Lake, and classified Chaofeng City's Juchao District and Lujiang County into Hefei City. The entire Chaohu Lake became the inner lake of Hefei. The center of Hefei City began to build around Chaohu Lake. The development in the north gradually slowed down, and the south was a thousand miles a day. Now Chaofeng City is still safe and sound, and the housing prices at Chaohu Lake are pitifully low.

Taking advantage of the low price, the housing prices will at least double in ten years.

Although Zhang Tan doesn't want to make money by speculating in real estate so vulgarly, it's not impossible to give advice to his relatives to buy a house in advance and enjoy more benefits brought by the real estate market. Besides, he can't bear to pay for five dollars of rice, but he doesn't make a fool of himself by buying a house and buying a house with free chance of raising prices.

Buying a few more houses is better than putting money in the bank to depreciate.

...

Ten days passed in a flash. The writing progress of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was good. Nearly 100,000 words had been written, of which the first 60,000 words were sent to the magazine. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was confirmed to be revised in the bimonthly, and will be released in August, the 10th issue of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

During Li Yan's bargaining, the People's Publishing House of Fengnan gave up the publication of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Wang Guohua and Zhang Tan revealed his ideas. To be on the safe side, they did not dare to invest heavily in publication before they were sure that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" would become popular. He hoped that Zhang Tan could continue to write the four famous arrests.

In the end, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was signed by Anwei Literature and Art Publishing House, with a royalty rate of 12%, which is a very risky and big deal.

Zhang Tan also participated in the negotiations during the period, mainly revealing the number of words written by The Legend of the Condor Heroes, with a plan to be 1.2 million words; the content of the creation is the growth history of a generation of heroes; the creation time can be finished by the end of the year, and the latest spring will not exceed next year. According to Zhang Tan's answer, Anwei Literature and Art Publishing House arranged specific matters for publishing.

A total of eight volumes were published, one volume was 150,000 words per volume, and one volume was published a month, and the first volume was printed 100,000 volumes.

It also guarantees that eight volumes will be published, with a minimum number of publications per volume of no less than 50,000. This treaty is a protection treaty, which is a risk for the publisher and a guarantee for Zhang Tan to prevent the bad sales of novels and the other party directly cut the books. Anwei Literature and Art Publishing House relies on this protection treaty and has won other publishers.

Zhang Tan did not value this treaty. He had confidence in his works, but he valued sincerity.

The publisher has given such great sincerity that there is no reason not to cooperate.

in this way.

Another book is about to be published.

Zhang Tan is in a good mood.

...

July is like a shuttle, and it flashes for a moment and turns to August.

This day.

Zhang Tan went out to relax.

I took my newly bought fishing rod and prepared to hide in the shade of trees by the small pond in the hot afternoon to fish.

There are many ponds in rural areas, and some ponds have been contracted to raise fish, but there are still many ponds belonging to the village. The public property in the brigade is not important at all. However, the fish in the pond are not big. For real big fish, you have to go to the rivers and the reservoirs upstream.

If you have a motorcycle, you can also ride to Wushan Town. There is a reservoir called Wei Laohu there. There is a kind of mandarin fish inside, which has no fishy smell and is particularly delicious.

No matter which reservoir is, Zhang Tan is distant. He is interested in fishing, so he fishes in the pond at the doorstep.

As soon as I sprinkled the fragrant rice and put the earthworms on the fish hook, my phone rang.

It was called by Li Yan.

"Hey, Sister Li, what's the matter?"

"Zhang Tan, Anwei Literature and Art Publishing House has proofread the manuscript of the first volume of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and has also obtained the book number and is ready to print and publish. Here we are going to arrange some publicity for your book, and specially invite many reporters to interview you and increase the exposure of new books. When do you have time?"

"Please interview me with the reporter?"

"Yes, come on a few newspapers."

Zhang Tan was a little dizzy. He didn't expect that he would be in the newspaper so soon. He was almost writing for a year and published two books. He has become famous in the martial arts circles in Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China, but only in this small circle, he did not become popular. Compared with Han Jingming, he is far behind.

Before Han Jingming published his novel, he became popular all over the country because of the hype of dropping out of school.

No one gave him this treatment. Before, only "The Legend of the Contemporary and Ancient Martial Arts Edition" was the only one who shook the flag and shouted for him. However, martial arts novels in the mainland have always been difficult to be elegant and have been denounced as vulgar by the mainstream cultural circle. Zhang Tan's fame is naturally not favored by the mainstream. If Zhang Tan was in Xiangxiang, a martial arts popular zone like Taiwan would have been famous in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

But now it's his turn to go to the newspaper and become famous.

"Okay, I can accept an interview at any time." After Zhang Tan was stunned, he agreed immediately without hesitation.
