Across the literary and art world

Chapter 393 Invitation and Meeting ([-])

Time has an autonomous consciousness, and its passage will never be reported to anyone, nor will it be affected by any abnormal intervention.It consistently flows in an unknown direction, unhurriedly.Can't run away at any moment.It's like in this world, no one can fly away from the net of human affection.

Quietly, four o'clock gradually approached.

Crackling, crackling, crackling.

After typing a few times on the keyboard lightly, Lin Feng's palm touched the mouse, and another piece of content in front of him was transferred, and the time was almost up, it was time to set off.

After a few crisp and weak clicks of the mouse, the text that Lin Feng had just moved had been saved in the file.

Stretching, Lin Feng stood up from the chair, did not turn off the computer, just closed it.Sign the contract, and it will be back soon. If you need to use it at night, just wait for it to stand by.

Opening the door, Lin Feng walked into the hall, which was empty at the moment.I should be sad, I should study and study in my own room.To spend the so-called free time of the university with playing cards and entertainment, it is really better to discuss with the school, ask the school to work hard to develop, and merge some places such as ktv, bars and even casinos.One-stop service for learning and having fun.Very satisfying humanized creativity.

Squeaking, closing the door gently, Lin Feng raised his eyes, straightened his clothes in front of the mirror in the hall, left the apartment, the target ahead, left the school, and arrived at a certain restaurant in Kyoto.

……

……

Although the finalized time with Lin Feng was at four o'clock in the afternoon, Song Ye went upstairs to report to the supervisor about the itinerary that was not in the normal plan in the afternoon when he just went to work in the afternoon. Of course, going outside to sign the contract was also for Company services, certainly not like asking for leave, need to go through very formal procedures and submit a very formal report.Originally, when my subordinates were going to ask for leave to sign a contract, my supervisor must have repeatedly emphasized some discipline, vaccination, and attention to all aspects.However, Song Ye's female executive did not do this. Of course, it does not mean that Song Ye's salary has increased because of winning Lin Feng's cooperation. It's momentum.Why is the female supervisor so amiable?Very simple, this is on the way to the contract.The editors under his own team have achieved such a result, and the credit for his leadership is naturally not inescapable.Things have come to this, whoever stops him really has trouble with money.The replies to the incident last night centered on that person were several times that of ordinary celebrities.Even if this fame is not completely converted into money, it is definitely a considerable sum.

The time to report to the superior was advanced, and Song Ye would not really step on the time of four o'clock to go to the restaurant.When talking about cooperation and showing sincerity, time is a very important prop.

The restaurant that Song Ye told Lin Feng was called Tianhua Restaurant.Although Tianhua Restaurant is not one of the best in Kyoto, if it is really ranked in the restaurant industry, it is definitely not low.Moreover, compared to other restaurants that are not among the best, Tianhua Restaurant has another advantage. Whether it is viewed as a whole or from a partial perspective, the impression that Tianhua Restaurant gives people is that the clothes of the service staff It was changed, and some electrical appliances were removed, and people entered, that is, time-traveling.Antique, it is not an exaggeration to describe Tianhua Restaurant.It's not that the boss spends money to play retro, in fact, it's the same if he doesn't spend money. This is originally a modification of an ancient mansion.Antique, in other words, literati atmosphere, although it is a bit far-fetched to say this, but in fact it is indeed what it means.Song Ye asked Lin Feng to be here after thinking quickly in his heart.

In Tianhua Restaurant, in an elegant room named Wenxuan Pavilion, although the tables are empty, there are people in the room.On the chair by the wall, Song Ye was carefully flipping through the contract in duplicate.Judging by his posture, he has been flipping through it for a long time.

It has been a long time indeed. When he went to work just after noon, he reported to his superiors, then continued to follow up on some of the work at hand in the editorial hall. He took a taxi and came here around two o'clock or three o'clock. In the elegant room, I began to wait quietly.Naturally, his purpose of this trip was not only to sign this contract with Lin Feng, but he also shouldered the heavy responsibility of negotiating with Lin Feng.

What to discuss?Regarding some conditions of a bowl of soup-style short story, can Lin Feng make some concessions, if not, can he make some compensation from other aspects, such as having a new book, cooperation on the new book, etc.In addition, there are details about the publication of these stories, the size of the paper, the size of the font, the material of the paper, the specific title of the book, and so on.The signing of the contract is just a key, and Jinghua has even set it up in the private room of Tianhua Restaurant, so naturally it will not only be used to sign a contract.No matter how big the profit after the contract is, because no matter how long the perpetual publishing right exists, it will appear a bit thin and single.The money for the Dingya Room, the cost of meals, and the cost of jumping in the line and changing hands are all paid by Jinghua Publishing House. They don't want to get only one core without peripherals of equal value.

It can be said that Song Ye, who has a heavy responsibility, naturally has to ponder and think about such a situation in his heart. Some things are easy to say, but it is not so simple to say them skillfully.So you have to think carefully.This is also the reason why he came too early. To survey the favorable terrain, integrate with the environment as soon as possible, and occupy the favorable location. When there is no time, the effect is quite obvious under normal circumstances.

……

……

In some consumer places such as shopping malls and restaurants, there are many things that are not so obvious.It's the shopkeeper who doesn't want to be seen by the customers.For example, clocks.

The role of clocks and watches is to record the traces left by time and tell people the route of this trace.Remind people where they belong during the day.Can shopping malls and restaurants let you know? Of course, you have to find a way by yourself. They will never remind you.Because, the longer you stay in the mall, the more you may buy, and the longer you stay in the restaurant, the more you may eat and drink. Fruit snacks after a meal do not take up space in the stomach, and the price of these things in restaurants is not cheap.

The private room is an independent space, and it is normal to have several times better treatment than outside.But things are usually full of two sides, after all, private rooms still have places that are not as good as the dining hall outside, for example, there is no independent clock in the private room.

Although he had concerns in his heart, Song Ye, who was going to greet Lin Feng at the entrance of the lobby of the restaurant, did not put on such a posture after all because he was too absorbed in reading the documents and thinking too seriously.When he came to his senses and just walked out of the door, he saw Lin Feng approaching unhurriedly.Although Lin Feng, who was wearing makeup and eyes, was still a little afraid to confirm, but at this time, who else was coming in this direction, coming here, except for Lin Feng who had received the address information he sent in the past.

Song Ye, who came to a conclusion through rapid reasoning in his mind, although he regretted that he did not greet him at the door to show his sincerity, still rushed to greet him and stretched out his hand.

"You are Mr. Lin, right? I'm Song Ye from Jinghua Publishing House."

"Hi, I'm Lin Feng."

Lin Feng stretched out his hand to hold Song Ye's hand, and smiled softly.

The two parties have already talked on the phone, so they naturally have a little understanding of the other party's voice.So as soon as the two sides opened their mouths, the slightest doubt in their hearts disappeared.

"Mr. Lin, please come in, let's talk inside." Song Ye led the way.

Lin Feng smiled and nodded.

"Mr. Lin, shall we talk while eating, or..." Song Ye asked politely as he led Lin Feng into the private room.

"Let's look at the contract first. I'm not used to having dinner in the afternoon." Lin Feng said after thinking slightly.

"Don't talk when you eat or sleep. Mr. Lin is really strict with himself. This way please."

Song Ye and Lin Feng made it to the seat by the wall where Song Ye was reading the contract just now.

"Mr. Lin, please sit down." Song Ye said with his hands down.

"Thank you." Lin Feng smiled.

……

……

After the two parties sat down, Song Ye picked up the teapot on the square wooden coffee table and poured a cup of tea for Lin Feng and himself. The tea was very clear, without any leaves floating, but the fragrance was very strong, and it smelled so refreshing. It means three or four hours.Presumably, the meaning of this tea is to be drunk, drink tea, and then drink.Until the tea is useless when drunk, and the pocket card is almost useless, there is almost no need to drink it.

Song Ye thought about his words, and said like Lin Feng just as he was thinking about it.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, I don't think you have any objection to the contract based on the conditions you proposed? After all, it is completely according to your wishes."

"Your publishing house is very sincere, and I am very satisfied with those few articles." Lin Feng nodded and said.Can you be dissatisfied? It was completely drawn up according to his wishes.No matter which angle or method is used to interpret the contract, it will have the same meaning, Lin Feng's meaning.

"That's good. In order to achieve what you want, my publishing house has used a lot of professionals to draw up item by item. Take a look, this is a printed contract that has been notarized by a lawyer's office. After you read it, there will be problems. "Song Ye took out a stack of papers from the papers he was looking at just now, and handed them to Lin Feng with both hands.

"Thank you." Lin Feng took it with both hands, thanked him, and looked at it seriously.

Looking at Lin Feng who is seriously reading the contract, although I know that I should carefully observe Lin Feng's expression and movements, and understand his psychological state, so that I can proceed to the next activity.But Song Ye still couldn't help sighing in his heart. Although he was a school age older than him, he was still in the ivory tower, and he had already entered the big dyeing vat, but he couldn't compare to him in terms of achievement or temperament. man.What is this? Success is in hand, full of confidence, and naturally domineering.With such domineering exposed, negotiation must be very easy, but it has reached the realm of leaking domineering, who will come out to be a negotiator expert.

Ugh……

With a long sigh in his heart, Song Ye put away the thoughts in his heart, and looked at Lin Feng seriously, his posture seemed to be scrutinizing him.

Whoa, whoa...

Lin Feng flipped through the contract paper lightly, and the speed of browsing the contract was very fast.As the editor-in-chief in his previous life, he has undergone many similar contract documents, so he naturally knows where the real focus of these contract documents is.Most of the contents of the contract are empty words corresponding to the legal provisions. If you don't look for it, you will not only waste your time, but also your clear mind for a period of time.

……

"Mr. Song, there is no problem with the contract. Your publishing house is very careful. The requirements I put forward are perfectly implemented on paper." After finishing reading, he closed the contract and put it on the table. Lin Feng told Song Ye Said.

"Mr. Lin is as long as he is satisfied. What the staff of our agency hopes most is that you are satisfied, Mr. Lin." Song Ye smiled, and there was a hint of surprise in his smile, which represented a sigh of relief.It's not obvious, but Lin Feng can see it.This is an attitude, customer satisfaction is our best reward.To be recognized, not only must people see hard work, but also people can see that they have given their best.

Lin Feng didn't speak, just smiled and nodded.As a senior in the industry, he naturally understood this meaning.In this regard, he naturally knew the correct way to deal with it.A satisfied and kind smile is enough.

Lin Feng didn't urge Song Ye to sign the contract immediately, since he searched the information of Tianhua Restaurant at night and he walked all the way through the door, he naturally understands the importance of this place.He didn't think that Jinghua Publishing House in Kyoto would be willing to put on such a scene when signing a contract that was almost 29% sure.The signing of the contract only takes a few seconds, and even if it's just eating and not talking, it will take half an hour.What to do with the remaining [-] minutes and tens of seconds.Of course there are other things.

"Well, Mr. Lin, it's like this. On behalf of our publishing house, I would like to have a deeper discussion with you about this contract." After waiting for a few seconds, seeing that Lin Feng didn't play the cards according to the routine, he wasted his mind but lost his mind. Song Ye, who found that he couldn't afford it, smiled bitterly in his heart.The most painful thing in life is this, thinking what to do, but finding that I have to do what I have to, and I will never be myself.

"Please tell me?" Lin Feng nodded and said politely with a smile.If the contract to be signed immediately is like this, then everything I mentioned has already been agreed to. Now that people want to propose other people's conditions, they must naturally welcome them seriously.It's as if, no matter how unfair people are, there will still be a trace of equality that allows opinions to be expressed.Even though it may be useless, to a certain extent, being able to mention it and not being able to mention it are completely two aspects.Conditions are always two-sided.

"Mr. Lin Feng, the sales volume of a book or a product depends to a greater extent on its publicity besides its own quality. Only when people know about it can they consume it. Therefore, our agency hopes that Lin Before the book goes on sale, sir, you can do a large-scale event advertisement. Of course, you will not be asked to travel around, Mr. Lin. It is enough to do a few shows in Kyoto. In addition, add some pictures of you, or say Rewards such as autographs will sell a lot. Although these methods belong to old bottles, the quality of the wine in the bottle is the decisive factor. After the calculation of our professional staff, if you go out, there will be no problem." Song Ye Smiling and talking freely, Jean elaborated on some attempts that seemed to them to be a win-win situation.Whether it is a musician, a top scorer in the college entrance examination, or a well-known author, they can all be used to advertise books.Nowadays, it is so normal for several halos to be added to one thing.Several layers of brilliance are sandwiched together, and there are quite a few things that can be brushed out.Besides, it doesn't cost money to use it, so who wouldn't want to use it.For a publishing house, all musicians or filmmakers are good for writing books, and two or more auras are good for their own talents.

"No." Although Lin Feng immediately had the answer in his mind, he still spent some time in silence before he said, "Let me say something that may make people feel uncomfortable. These works of mine are not for sale, but for sale. Is it music or a story, although so far, I can't count the number in the ranking of rich people, but it is almost the same for me personally. So I don't want to be too deliberate about advertising myself. It’s fine. Let nature take its course.”

"Mr. Lin, what you said is very reasonable. However, Mr. Lin, our company needs to consider the cost. These conditions of yours will be profitable in the long run. However, in the short term, if there is no push, The income situation of our agency will not be good, and it will not even cover the cost. I hope Mr. Lin, you can think twice." Song Ye said sincerely.

After a pause, he continued, "Mr. Lin, from another perspective, if you are willing to publicize, it will be a good publicity for our agency and you. This is actually a mutually beneficial thing."

After finishing speaking, Song Ye didn't care to pick up the cup on the table to moisturize his throat, so he looked straight at Lin Feng, waiting, hoping that Lin Feng would let go.

"Mr. Song, I appreciate the kindness of you and your company. It's just that I still have to continue my studies, and I don't want to expose myself to the public too much. I hope you can understand." Lin Feng smiled, "As for the thrust, I I think the words Lin Feng or a bowl of soup are enough. Although I don’t guarantee how much it will sell, I believe that when you choose these stories, your company already has a good idea.”

Lin Feng's voice was still very calm and light, without a firm tone or content, but it showed the meaning of rejecting people thousands of miles away. Song Ye, who opened his mouth to say something, finally closed his mouth .Lin Feng's attitude made him a little at a loss.

"Mr. Lin, let's sign the contract first, and then we can chat while eating." Song Ye suggested.Since it doesn't make sense, let's resort to means, eat and drink first, and then it will be easier to deal with when your mind is a little more confused.Anyway, the contract was already finalized, and it must be signed. It doesn't matter if it is signed early or late.

　Five thousand.

　　hate time, rush
