My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 103: Negotiation
February 16th is the first release day of "Hunting Abyss". But for Shen Xin, the more important thing today is to meet with the president and editor-in-chief to discuss the operation of "Y’s" in the next few months.
Yan Fei saw Shen Xin come to the "NewWorld" magazine, so he went upstairs to communicate with the president and coordinate time.
The editor-in-chief of also came out of the editorial department. After introducing himself, Shen Xin knew that the middle-aged fat man in front of him was the editor-in-chief of "NewWorld". He usually communicates with Yan Fei and rarely visits magazines, and he is not familiar with many people in magazines.
After seeing Shen Xin, the editor-in-chief first greeted him, and then told him that the president has not been in good health. When he could speak, he must pay attention to his tone of voice. Whether the matter can be negotiated is a trivial matter. If the president's body becomes ill, the problem will be serious.
Shen Xin frowned slightly. Today's negotiation is also very important to him, and he will definitely not give in. However, the president's body has a problem, and he can't help but consider it, so he has to wait for the formal negotiation, and then consider it.
The female staff of other departments saw the editor-in-chief talking with a young man alone in the meeting room, and they speculated about Shen Xin's identity.
"Isn't it a relative of Editor-in-Chief?"
"Possibly, maybe I will work as an editor in a magazine."
"Looks so young and handsome, I don’t know if I have a girlfriend."
"Are you going to be heart-warming?"
"Are you in your heart?"
Xiaoli passed by and coughed dryly, "Don't think about it, this is the leading cartoonist of the magazine, Mr. Shen Zheng, who is usually very busy. I don't have time to think about it."
"Isn't it? So young?"
"Oh, what a pity."
Xiaoli’s words completely cut off the female employees’ thoughts. "Y’s" is in the city of Yunhai and is gaining momentum. Now even "Dreamer"’s new signature "National Football Coach" has been stabilized by "Y’s". As the author, Shen Xin's value has also risen.
Apart from lamenting regret, they had no other choice but to leave with a little embarrassment.
Xiaoli glanced at Shen Xin, feeling equally complicated. In June and July last year, she and Shen Xin met, but she did not expect that in just six months, Shen Xin had already stood at the top of the magazine cartoonist, rising too fast.
At this time, the elevator door opened and Yan Fei walked out of the elevator and saw Xiaoli standing outside the meeting room with a file bag, and asked, "Xiaoli, what's wrong?"
"No... just received the manuscript." Xiaoli patted the file bag and walked toward the editorial office in a panic.
Yan Fei was confused, but didn't have time to think about it. She walked to Shen Xin and the editor-in-chief, and said softly, "The editor-in-chief, Mr. Shen, the president is already waiting for two in the conference room, and the assistant president is also there. "
"Assistant to the president? Who is he?" Shen Xin was surprised. He didn't intend to communicate with the assistant to the president.
"Song Ren, the only son of the president, and the next president." Yan Fei reminded.
Shen Xin immediately understood that the so-called "president assistant" is actually a position deliberately created to let Song Ren familiar with the operation of the magazine. When the time is right, take over the position of president.
Considering that the president's health is not very good, Shen Xin can also understand the president's thoughts.
Shen Xin's next book is not going to be serialized on "NewWorld", so he is not interested in the successor of the president.
Three people came to the meeting room. The editor-in-chief knocked on the door twice, and someone in the room immediately shouted "Come in".
'S voice is full of confidence, not like an old man with poor health, it should be the president's son who speaks.
The conference room is not too big, about 1/3 smaller than the editorial department, but with an oval conference table, there is no extra space.
At the far end of the conference table, there is an old man with gray hair and a kind face. He smiled and nodded his forehead when he saw Shen Xin coming in.
Shen Xin also bowed slightly.
"Are you Shen Zheng?" A young man with his back comb sitting next to the old man asked Shen Xin.
"Yes."
Shen Xin glanced at the young man, who should be less than 30 years old, with an arrogant face.
Needless to say, this person is Song Ren.
"I used to look at photos, but I finally saw alive today." Song Ren chuckled.
Yan Fei's face was gloomy, and the editor-in-chief was slightly embarrassed. Shen Xin sneered and looked at him coldly.
"What are you talking about?" Song Tai patted the table and glared Song Renyi, "You either go out now or shut up."
Song Ren put aside his smile, and turned his head angrily.
Song Tae took two long breaths, calming down, "Don't bother you little guys. Just sit down."
Shen Xin didn't have the time to get angry with Song Ren, and came to a position closer to Song Tai, and pulled a chair away. The editor-in-chief and Yan Fei had different expressions and sat on both sides of Shen Xin.
"Okay, Teacher Shen, you asked to see me and Lao Zhang, now we are all sitting here, just tell me if you have anything?" Song Tai asked.
Song Ren leaned back in his chair depressed, closing his eyes to rest, but his ears stood up.
"I want to compete for this year's "Newcomer Award". What kind of support can the magazine provide?" Shen Xin is straightforward.
"On the premise of ensuring the normal development of the magazine, I will try my best to help you." Song Tai said.
Shen Xin rubbed his chin, Song Tai spoke very skillfully.
The implication is that the magazine society helps Shen Xin, but because the magazine is still developing normally, it will have reservations.
There is nothing wrong with Song Tai's approach, after all, magazines also need to survive. And many examples have proved that when a company does its best to do a certain thing, it may "die".
is like "Dragon's Son", an old-fashioned animation production company in District 11, because it wanted to produce an animation that shocked District 11. Later, "Dragon's Son" went bankrupt because of this anime.
If Shen Xin were in Song Tai's position, he would make the same choice.
"What is the'biggest help' that Mr. President said?" Shen Xin asked.
"That depends on how much help Mr. Shen needs." Song Tai did not explain, and kicked the "ball" to Shen Xin again.
Shen Xin smiled, "I remember that Senior Sister Ji had discussed a condition with the club, and when necessary, a large-scale publicity of "Y’s" will be carried out. Is there such a thing?"
Song Ren heard Shen Xin's words, his face changed slightly, "Of course not..."
"To shut up."
Song Tai glared at Song Ren, Song Ren flushed, snorted coldly, and turned his head away.
Shen Xin frowned slightly, is there any misunderstanding?
"Ms. Shen's statement, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is actually correct, but not very accurate. Of course, this is not to blame you, after all, you have not read the contract. We negotiated with Miss Ji three times, the contract The final version is that, if necessary, she will conduct a large-scale promotion of a certain comic of "NewWorld" within three years. Among all works, "Y's" will be given priority.
"If you are not at ease, I can show you this contract. Of course, Miss Ji is not wrong to say so. After all, the comics that can be obtained in "NewWorld" are only "Y's" for the time being." Song Tai explained.
old fox.
Shen Xin nodded, the corners of his mouth turned upward.
Needless to say, during the negotiation, Song Tai definitely used "Y’s" as an example to let Ji Yinxuan relax his vigilance. Shen Xin can even imagine the content of the contract.
Of course, Song Tai was definitely not aimed at Shen Xin. This "cooperation" with Ji Yinxuan was hard-won. He values this contract very seriously and wants to maximize the effect of this contract.
also said that Song Tai may agree to vigorously promote "Y’s", but he also hopes to get Shen Xin's guarantee, for example, the next book will continue to be serialized in "NewWorld".
"We will put aside the contract matters first and discuss later. My request is simple. I need the magazine to promote "Y's" twice. The first time, from now to the beginning of July, if "Y's" The sales volume of "Rookie List" can be squeezed into the top ten of the'newcomer list', and we have it. Starting from July, the second promotion of "Y's" will be carried out. At that time, the magazine, me, and Sister Ji, we are sitting Together, let’s talk about the rest."
The editor-in-chief of opened his eyes wide, and Shen Xin had a direct showdown in front of the president.
President smiled and nodded, "No problem."
