    When Chen Yuan heard the voice, she went out and saw Shen Huai and Liu Chuan standing at the door, and asked, "Editor Liu, you're here, what's the matter with me? Why don't you come in and sit down?"

    Just as Liu Chuan was about to speak, he heard Shen Huai suddenly pat him on the shoulder with a smile: "Yeah, come in and take a seat, I am? I forgot to entertain customers, it was my inattentiveness."

    "..."

    Wasn't Shen Huai's attitude like this just now? Seeing Chen Yuan coming, it changed really fast.

    Liu Chuan felt a chill in his neck, and his whole body was blowing the cold wind. Looking back? Shen Huai's accidental gaze was very dangerous. It might have been because he was too excited, immersed in his own imagination, and didn't notice the other party at all. His face was a little unpleasant.

    When he got to the living room, Liu Chuan didn't dare to look too presumptuous, because he had recovered from the excitement, and said his intention in the eyes of the two.

    "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to bother you so early, but this matter is really important to our publishing house, and I hope you can agree."

    Chen Yuan asked: "Then you need to say what it is? What is it?"

    When Liu Chuan talked about his work, he became very serious: "Is that so? In my previous English books, I saw a lot of animation patterns hand-painted by Mr. Chen, and felt that the style of painting was very delicate, and then I wondered if I could make a separate one. This is a comic book that children like to read, and this kind of comic book can be published in a set of 20, and the three series is 60. If it is better, it can be sold for two or three yuan. If children like this style of painting, and The content of the story will be a complete set of comic strips, and the income and profit brought by a set of sixty books is absolutely huge."

    In order to persuade Chen Yuan to agree, he even took out the best-selling comic strips printed by other publishing houses on the market. Compared with the greedy snakes that Chen Yuan painted before, no matter the style or composition, they are all one in the sky and one in the ground. .

    The greedy snake painted by Chen Yuan is an obstacle set up in the snake chess game. The facial features of a small snake are very smart, cute and vivid, and she has drawn several versions of this little snake, all of them in different styles. ? Very delicate, let the children like to put it down.

    On the other hand, the comic strip Liu Chuan brought also had small animals in it. Although it was simply colored, it looked very rigid and lacked any flexibility. Comparing the style of painting, that is the share of being crushed.

    To say that Liu Chuan didn't think that the style of this popular comic strip was ugly before, because almost all of the comic strips sold on the street were like this. All comic strips were of the same level. Anyway, the main audiences were children. The aesthetics of adults are not good, but how high can children's aesthetics be? So it seems that what is the painting? What is it? Can it be sold? The threshold for this industry is very low. Many people can sell it at a street stall, audio-visual store, and small commodity store in front of the school. Customers don’t need to go to the bookstore. ?purchase.

    Liu Chuan thinks that those paintings in the market are so ugly that they can sell well. Chen Yuan's high-end painting style will definitely make more money. If she produces a comic book by herself, all the other comic strips will not be enough to watch.

    After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Yuan with expectant eyes.

    When Shen Huai heard that he was looking for Chen Yuan to collaborate on comic strips, he was not as uncomfortable as before, and still felt that the other party was a little too rash, but for the sake of making money, Liu Chuan's face looked much better.

    At the same time, sighed in heart that Chen Yuan's talent is too dazzling, so good that nothing can cover up the light on her body, and the next second may bring you even greater surprises, making you completely unaware of her Where is the upper limit.

    So this person Chen Yuan is a huge treasure. The more you get to know her, the more unfathomable she feels. With her excellent characteristics, it is impossible for anyone around her to be so perfect, but she gives her The person feels so affable, so approachable, as if she was born to be part of you.

    The more Shen Huai found out that Chen Yuan was in good health, the more glad that she was his own wife. He should be very lucky to have such an excellent wife.

    Chen Yuan hesitated for a while, but after thinking about what Liu Chuan said, she quickly understood it. What exactly are comic strips, and fairy tale books, comic books, and picture books of later generations? Can you find more Excellent reference, but comic strips may be based on national characteristics.

    "I can think about it, but I want 35% of the share. If you can agree, we are continuing to talk? It's not too late."

    Chen Yuan is not short of money now, but who will come back? Is there a lot of things like giving up money? Therefore, to do things with high investment and high return, feel that the previous ratio is still a little low. Besides, the energy spent on comic strips is of course no less than that of writing English books.

    As soon as Liu Chuan heard this, the ratio was indeed too high. He had never heard of such a ratio before. It can be said that Chen Yuan said this. The price is the only one in the city. Just get up? Leave, don't talk to the other party anymore?

    But Chen Yuan is different? The last cooperation, for the publishing house, was an opportunity for her to turn around. Now she has finally started to make a profit. Of course, Liu Chuan doesn't want to let go of her life-saving straw. Kai, because if the cooperative relationship with Chen Yuan is broken, the publishing house will probably return to the prototype again, and there will be no hope of coming back to life.

    Liu Chuan doesn't want the future of the publishing house to be ruined by himself, as long as there is a chance of life, he will not miss it.

    He thought for a while before agreeing, "Yes, no problem."

    Because Teacher Chen is not an ordinary author, she has huge potential, so she deserves such a high manuscript fee, and it is better to let the publishing house earn a little less than no hope of losing money.

    If an employee of the publishing house saw such a scene in front of him, they would definitely think that Editor-in-Chief Liu was crazy and agreed to such a high condition.

    But you can't just look at everything in front of you. As long as you can make a profit, you can of course agree.

    Chen Yuan nodded: "Okay, then we can continue to talk, the comic strip you said is fine, it's better to add some educational significance, and since you want to make money, then make it more thorough and make it a business. The comics, the first edition will sell 108 copies directly, with a continuous storyline hidden in it, attracting readers to buy it. If you buy a full set of books, you can find a designated bookstore to exchange for a collector's edition figure, a collector's edition postcards, and a variety of exquisite At the same time, we can also launch the popular civilian version, which is low-cost and cheap, as well as the hardcover high-end version, as well as the ultimate collection version, the hidden foreshadowing of the civilian version, some plots are invisible, If you want to see a more complete plot, you can only buy a better version. Although the price is slightly more expensive, but this world is always full of rich people, as long as the story is attractive enough, you are not afraid that they will not If you spend money, someone will buy it.”

    After listening to Chen Yuan's bold and astonishing remarks, Liu Chuan's mind paused for two seconds, because some famous words were so shocking that he had never even heard them before.

    For example, is it a hand-made thing? ? What is around? ? The collector's edition is easy to understand, it is exquisite, and it is very appropriate to use this word to describe it when you buy it back home to collect it.

    The collector's edition and the hardcover edition are also very nouns for him, and it is not difficult to understand, but the method of stimulating consumption with hidden foreshadowing surprised him too much.

    After inquiring clearly, the figure is the character model toy in the comic book. If a character is very popular, such as the character in the hot cartoon now, there are many toys of the same style appearing in the world, which are especially popular among children. sought after.

    The peripherals are related products of the work. Figures and postcards are also considered a kind of peripherals, but anything can be made around them, and even patterns can be printed on schoolbags, shoes, stationery boxes, and clothes. In short, the peripherals are launched. This is a way to stimulate consumption. Some consumers may buy books wantonly because of their surroundings. It may be normal for one person to buy more than 100 books.

    Although he feels that things are a bit incredible, far more amazing than he imagined, and even doubt that someone can really buy so many books at one time? It can't be drunk, and even if the child wants it, it won't sell it. So many, two books for one person.

    Liu Chuan asked his own question, and Chen Yuan answered it for him, "If you want to make money, you have to start with the content of the book. Most of the audience is children, including elementary, middle and high school students, and the consumer group of children is larger than that of adults. People spend more faithfully. The pocket money they save to buy snacks will also be used to buy comics. What we need to do is to attract them to re-purchase after reading a book, although our comics cannot be eaten or drunk. , but it can be used as food for their spirituality, satisfying people's spiritual world, which is our goal."

    After listening to Liu Chuan, she felt as if she had never seen Chen Yuan clearly. Sometimes Chen Yuan was more like a successful businessman than herself. She spoke so thoroughly, it was even more than she imagined. She is meticulous, and she understands human nature too well. She is much stronger than herself, so I can't do it without admiration.

    If he had his own ideas, he would definitely not even dare to think about it, let alone come up with this method.

    And Chen Yuan's idea is too advanced, this idea has to admit that it is indeed reasonable, but it is very risky, but if it is really successful, the profits will definitely be huge.

    It depends on whether he dares to do it now, but have to say that if it were changed to two months ago, Liu Chuan would never dare to do it, because at that time the publishing house suffered serious losses, and even if it wanted to innovate, it would not be possible to make such a big leap, but Now that some confidence has been restored, the normal operation of the publishing house can be guaranteed.

    Liu Chuan is another person who is unwilling to be ordinary. He thinks that he can accept new things. Besides, the previous situation was so difficult. He has already survived.

    So he agreed with Chen Yuan's method: "Mr. Chen, you are really the most powerful person I have ever seen. If your works are not popular, it is really hard to tolerate."

    This is the highest evaluation given by Liu Chuan. He has never described anyone in this way. He has dealt with other authors and colleagues for many years, and no one has given him this feeling. The key is that Chen Yuan not only The works are good, and the grasp of human nature is also good. He later learned that when Chen Yuan's English book was submitted to many publishing houses, only his own publishing house, Huiyan Zhizhu, signed a contract with her. Desperate, under the pressure of everyone around me who are not optimistic, I have always believed in Chen Yuan's works, and this is the success of the subsequent sales.

    Although it seems that he publishes Chen Yuan's works, Chen Yuan's works can be sold well, and the two sides are mutually fulfilling, but if another publishing house signed Chen Yuan's works at that time, the gold will shine sooner or later, and the best-selling is also a matter of time. , you can replace it with your own publishing house. If you have not encountered such a good author, maybe the publishing house will continue to lose money without any improvement.

    So what? To say, it was Chen Yuan who helped the publishing house, not the publishing house, which Liu Chuan knew all too well.

    Hearing Liu Chuan's admiring voice, Shen Huai was happier than Chen Yuan, thinking that although Liu Chuan didn't wink, his eyesight was actually quite good. It could be seen that Chen Yuan was a huge treasure. don't understand it very well, but it doesn't prevent him. He thinks this thing is very promising. If it works properly, the benefits will be immeasurable.

    Especially when heard Liu Chuan's praise of Chen Yuan's last sentence, it would be hard to tolerate without fire. He really has the same idea in his heart that Chen Yuan will definitely become the best writer in the future.

    When I think of the best writer in the future, who is now his wife, my heart is overwhelmed and I can't help myself.

    Chen Yuan glanced at Shen Huai strangely from the side. His happiness index rose from 75 to 85 in an instant. Shen Huai only increased his happiness index when he was very happy. Happiness and happiness are closely related. The happier a person is. , the higher his happiness index, just like Shen Mingyuan made a lot of money last time, and he provided Chen Yuan with a lot of energy in the laughter.

    But Shen Huai is very happy now, this? It's very worth pondering.

    Chen Yuan thought about it, it must be the conversation just now, which made Shen Huai very happy. She signed a comic book with the publishing house. Is there such an unexpected gain?

    That is to say, Shen Huai is happy about her own affairs. As long as she gets better and better and her social status is getting higher and higher, then Shen Huai will be happy. Shen Huai thinks so completely because she hopes for a bright future for her? , this kind of unrelated idea is rare.

    Blood relationship is also one of the most difficult relationships to give up. There is data to prove that the relationship between blood relationship and people who have no blood relationship seems to be more reliable. Although this is not absolutely the case, there is a certain truth in it.

    Chen Yuan thought for a while that she and Shen Huai are not related by blood. There is no good for no reason in this world. Shen Huai is very likely to treat her as a relative, because only when facing his relatives will he Sincerely plan for the other party, sincerely for the other party's good.

    It seems that some people are originally cold, but their hearts are really soft.

    The author has something to say: two more nine o'clock
