Chapter 103 Negotiation
February 16th is the first day of "Hunting Abyss". But for Shen Xin, the more important thing today is to meet and communicate with the president and editor-in-chief, and agree on the operation of "Y's" in the next few months.
Yan Fei saw Shen Xin coming to the "New World" magazine office, so she went upstairs to communicate with the president to coordinate the time.
The editor-in-chief also came out from the editorial department. After introducing herself, Shen Xin realized that the fat middle-aged man in front of her was the editor-in-chief of "New World". He usually communicates with Yan Fei mostly, and rarely comes to the magazine, and he is not familiar with many people in the magazine.
After seeing Shen Xin, the editor-in-chief greeted Shen Xin first, and then told him that the president's health has not been very good. When he can speak, he must pay attention to his tone. Whether things can be negotiated is a trivial matter. If the president's health happens, then the problem will be big.
Shen Xin frowned slightly, today's negotiation is also very important to him, he will definitely not give in. But the president has a health problem, so he can't ignore it, so he has to wait for the formal negotiation before thinking about it.
The female staff in other departments saw the editor-in-chief talking to a young man alone in the living room, and all guessed Shen Xin's identity.
"Could it be a relative of Editor-in-Chief Zhang?"
"Possibly, maybe he will work as an editor in a magazine."
"It looks so young and handsome. I don't know if I have a girlfriend."
"You shouldn't be moved?"
"Are you excited?"
Xiaoli passed by and coughed dryly, "Don't think about it, this is Mr. Shen Zheng, the magazine's leading cartoonist, and he is usually very busy. I don't have time to think about it."
"Isn't it? So young?"
"Oh, what a pity."
Xiao Li's words completely broke the thoughts of the female employees. "Y's" is in the sea of clouds, and it is in the limelight. Now even "Dreamer"'s new signature "National Football Coach" has been stabilized by "Y's". As the author, Shen Xin's net worth has also risen.
Apart from lamenting regret, they had no other choice but to leave with a little embarrassment.
Xiao Li glanced at Shen Xin, feeling equally complicated. In June and July last year, she met Shen Xin, but she never thought that in just six months, Shen Xin had already stood at the top of the magazine's cartoonists, and her rise was too fast.
At this time, the elevator door opened, Yan Fei came out of the elevator, saw Xiaoli standing outside the living room with a file bag, and asked, "Xiaoli, what's wrong?"
"No... just received the manuscript." Xiaoli patted the file bag and walked towards the editorial department 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, "Editor-in-chief, Mr. Shen, the president is already waiting for you two in the conference room, and the assistant to the president is also there. "
"President's assistant? Who is he?" Shen Xin asked in surprise, he didn't intend to communicate with the president's assistant.
"Song Ren is the only son of the president and the next president." Yan Fei reminded.
Shen Xin immediately understood that the so-called "President Assistant" was actually a position deliberately created to let Song Ren be 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 in "New World", so she is not interested in the president's successor.
The three of them came outside the meeting room, the editor-in-chief knocked on the door twice, and someone inside immediately shouted "Come in".
The voice is full of confidence, not like an old man in poor health, it should be the president's son who is speaking.
The meeting room is not too big, about 1/3 smaller than the editorial department, just put an oval conference table, and there is no extra space.
At the far end of the conference table, sat an old man with gray hair and a kind face. When he saw Shen Xin coming in, he smiled and nodded his forehead.
Shen Xin also bowed slightly.
"Are you Shen Zheng?" A young man with back hair sitting next to the old man asked Shen Xin.
"yes."
Shen Xin glanced at the young man, he should be less than thirty years old, with an arrogant look on his face.
Needless to say, this person is Song Ren.
"I used to look at photos, but today I finally saw something alive." Song Ren laughed.
Yan Fei's face was gloomy, the editor-in-chief was a little embarrassed, Shen Xin sneered and looked at him coldly.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Song Tai patted the table and gave Song Ren a hard look, "You either go out now, or shut up."
Song Ren put away his smile and turned his head angrily.
Song Tai took two long breaths to calm down, "Don't worry about what the little guy says. Sit down as you please."
Shen Xin didn't have the time to get angry with Song Ren, so she came to a position closer to Song Tai and pulled out a chair. The editor-in-chief and Yan Fei had different expressions, sitting on both sides of Shen Xin.
"Okay, Mr. Shen, you asked to see Lao Zhang and me. Now that we are all sitting here, why don't you just talk about it?" Song Tai asked.
Song Ren leaned against the back of the chair depressedly, closed his eyes and rested his mind, 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 cut to the point.
"On the premise of ensuring the normal development of the magazine, I will do my best to help you." Song Tai said.
Shen Xin rubbed her chin, Song Tai's speech was very skillful.
The implication is that the magazine society helps Shen Xin, but because the magazine still needs to develop normally, it will have some reservations.
There is nothing wrong with Song Tai's approach, after all, the magazine also needs to survive. And many examples have proved that when a company tries its best to do a certain thing, it may "die".
Just like "Dragon Son", an old-fashioned animation production company in District 11, wanted to produce an animation that shocked District 11. Later, "Dragon Son" went bankrupt because of this animation.
If Shen Xin was in Song Tai's position, he would make the same choice.
"Then what is the 'biggest help' Mr. President said?" Shen Xin asked.
"That depends on how much help Teacher Shen needs." Song Tai didn't explain, and kicked the "ball" to Shen Xin again.
Shen Xin smiled, "I remember that senior sister Ji discussed a condition with the club, that if necessary, a large-scale promotion of "Y's" will be carried out. Is there such a thing?"
Song Ren's face changed slightly when he heard Shen Xin's words, "Of course not..."
"Shut up."
Song Tai glared at Song Ren, Song Ren blushed, snorted coldly, and turned his head away.
Shen Xin frowned slightly, could there be some misunderstanding?
"Mr. Shen's statement is actually true, but it's not very accurate. Of course, it's not your fault, after all, you haven't read the contract. We negotiated with Ms. Ji three times. The final version of the contract is, if necessary, Under the condition, she will carry out a large-scale promotion of a certain comic of "New World" within three years. Among all the works, "Y's" will be given priority.
"If you're worried, I can show you this contract. Of course, Miss Ji is not wrong to say that. After all, the only manga that "New World" can produce is "Y's" for the time being." Song Tai explained.
old fox.
Shen Xin nodded, the corners of her mouth turned up.
Needless to say, when negotiating, Song Tai definitely used "Y's" as an example, which made Ji Yinxuan relax his vigilance. Shen Xin could even imagine the content of the contract.
Of course, Song Tai definitely didn't aim at targeting Shen Xin, this "cooperation" with Ji Yinxuan was hard-won, he attached great importance to this contract, and wanted to maximize the effect of this contract.
That is to say, 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 "New World".
"Let's put aside the matter of this contract and talk about it later. My request is very simple. I need the magazine to promote "Y's" twice. The first time, from now until the beginning of July, if "Y's" The sales volume can be squeezed into the top ten of the "newcomer list". If you get it, the second promotion of "Y's" will start in July. At that time, the magazine, me, and senior sister Ji, we will sit Let’s talk about what’s next.”
The editor-in-chief's eyes widened, and Shen Xin actually had a showdown in front of the president.
The president smiled and nodded, "No problem."
