    Although Mr. Li had long heard that Ye Feng was very young, Qi Mingyuan couldn't help being a little surprised when Mr. Li said that this was the author of "The Swordsman".  "Mr. Ye, you are really younger than I thought. A hero really comes from his youth." Qi Mingyuan took the initiative to stand up, shook hands with Ye Feng, and complimented him warmly.  Ye Feng smiled and shook hands with Qi Mingyuan, then turned to look at Mr. Li. You must know that Mr. Li didn't introduce who the person was on the phone just now, and now Ye Feng doesn't even know how to call him.  Mr. Li smiled when he saw this, pointed at Qi Mingyuan and said: "This is Qi Mingyuan, the editor-in-chief of Hong Kong Island's "Zhu Ming Daily". He is here to discuss the buyout of "Swordsman" with you." Ye Feng is here  Then he nodded and chatted with Qi Mingyuan again.  The few of them chatted with each other for a few more words, and Qi Mingyuan brought the topic to the right track. He looked at Ye Feng and said: "Mr. Ye, you understand why I'm here. I don't know your purchase price for "The Swordsman"  What are your expectations? " "My expectations are definitely high, but Mr. Qi is a customer from afar, so why don't you give me a price first and let me hear it?" Ye Feng didn't ask for a commission, because he knew it.  The newspaper serialization on Hong Kong Island is somewhat different from the normal publishing method. Basically, the buyout is based on how much per thousand words.  Qi Mingyuan smiled when he heard this, then slowly put the tea cup beside his mouth on the table, looked up at Ye Feng, and said: "Although Mr. Ye is a newcomer, the quality of his works is quite good. I discussed it with the boss before coming here.  , we can offer Mr. Ye a price similar to that of a well-known writer. I think this price should be enough to express our sincerity. " "Haha, it is not enough to express our sincerity. We still need Mr. Qi to offer a price. "Ye Feng did not.  Dazzled by Qi Mingyuan's few good words, there was no expression on his face from beginning to end. He kept lowering his head and gently rubbing the rim of the teacup with the lid of the teacup, without even raising his eyelids.  Ye Feng's attitude made Qi Mingyuan flash a look of surprise in his eyes. He thought that the other party would be easy to coax because of his age, but he didn't expect that he would not be moved at all.  After coughing twice, Qi Mingyuan had no choice but to honestly quote the first price he had prepared: "One hundred yuan for a thousand words." "Pfft!" Ye Feng couldn't hold it back and swallowed the food he had just put into his mouth.  Tea squirted out.  "Sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry." Ye Feng quickly picked up a tissue and wiped the tea off the table, then looked at Qi Mingyuan with a strange expression on his face and said, "Mr. Qi, are you kidding me? A thousand words can be said a hundred times.  Yuan famous artist, do you think this is twenty years ago? " The price Qi Mingyuan offered surprised Ye Feng. The price of one hundred yuan per thousand words was indeed a high price twenty years ago. At that time, ordinary famous people  The price of a writer will not be much higher than this, but that was twenty years ago. In this day and age, it is really not possible to get a famous writer for one hundred yuan per thousand words.  "Xiao Qi, I wasn't going to say anything at first, but the price you offered is too exorbitant. Even if I randomly find a few third-rate writers for you and sign for 100 yuan, you may not be able to get it. Do you think "Laughter"  "Proud Jianghu" is not as good as those novels written by third-rate writers? If your newspaper is so insincere, then I think we don't need to talk. I will contact other newspapers in Hong Kong for Brother Ye. I want to switch to any other one.  You won't be so stingy." Mr. Li looked at Qi Mingyuan with a dissatisfied look. The price quoted by Qi Mingyuan made the old man feel very embarrassed.  Qi Mingyuan also looked a little embarrassed. In fact, he didn't know that the price was extremely low, but he had no choice. The boss gave him the instruction that the lower the better, so he had to at least give it a try.  After being silent for a few seconds, Qi Mingyuan spoke again with some difficulty: "What do you two think, three hundred words for a thousand words? Today's famous artists generally pay this price." Mr. Li glanced at Ye Feng and said nothing, obviously  This price has reached Mr. Li's bottom line. How to negotiate further is up to Ye Feng himself.  Ye Feng did not hesitate and shook his head directly: "The price of "The Swordsman" is more than this." Qi Mingyuan glanced at Ye Feng. From Ye Feng's eyes, he read determination. Obviously, the other party would not accept this price at all.  .  After pondering again for a moment, Qi Mingyuan gritted his teeth: "Five hundred per thousand words, this is our final bottom line, and it is also the top price for serialized newspaper novels today. Many excellent and well-known writers cannot get this price." "Many famous writers.  It's true that you can't get this price, but many famous writers can't write "Swordsman", otherwise Mr. Qi wouldn't need to come across the sea." Ye Feng didn't seem to notice Qi Mingyuan's face, just looking at the scenery outside the window.  , said in a leisurely tone.     Ding!    The tea cup in Qi Mingyuan's hand hit the glass table, and his expression was ugly. He stared at Ye Feng and said: "Mr. Ye, a person should know how to be content. As a newcomer, you are worth five hundred yuan per thousand words. This is an unprecedentedly high price.  , you can ask around to see which newspaper has given such a price to newcomers? " "Those newspapers have indeed not given such a price to newcomers, but those newcomers have not written "Swordsman", right? "Ye Feng?  He was not moved at all, but instead had a sneer on his face.  Qi Mingyuan took a deep look at Ye Feng and said in a low voice: "In this case, we don't have to talk?" Ye Feng didn't seem to hear what Qi Mingyuan said at all, and said to himself: "I can also understand you.  Because of the difficulty, I will sell the 180,000 words that Mr. Li gave you earlier for 500 yuan per thousand words. After you finish sending the 180,000 words, we will discuss the price again. " Qi Mingyuan's.  His eyebrows furrowed tightly. He did not expect that Ye Feng would offer such a condition. It was obvious that the other party was very confident in "Swordsman". This confidence was even so strong that he believed that "Zhuming Daily" would be inseparable.  This is why I set this condition in order to get more royalties after the novel becomes popular. However, once the novel becomes popular, it will be more difficult to negotiate the subsequent price, because if  If the price cannot be negotiated, the other party can take the novel and continue serializing it in other newspapers.  Before Qi Mingyuan could speak, Ye Feng spoke again: "Mr. Qi, I understand your concerns, but what I want to say is that opportunities do not always come. This is a novel that can greatly increase the sales of your newspaper.  If you miss it, you won¡¯t know when the next time will be, or there will never be a next time, what do you think?¡±
