Chapter 846 Fang Qiu Is Going to Publish a Book!

Outside the office, the employees of the publishing company saw the manager happily walking out of the office. They glanced into the office and found that Fang Qiu was still drinking tea in the office leisurely. They were confused. What was going on?

Did the negotiationgo well?

Under the gazes of the employees, Zhang Xingjie went directly to the Legal Department and asked them to draft the contract.

As a publishing company, they certainly had various original contracts, but the details of each contract varied. When preparing a new contract, they only needed to take out a similar original contract and change it slightly.

Knowing that Fang Qiu was here, the Legal Department was quite efficient. In a blink of an eye, the contract was prepared.

After he got the contract, Zhang Xingjie immediately went back to the office. Seeing the manager returning to the office with the contract, the employees all gathered around their colleagues of the Legal Department in a tacit understanding.

“Tell us, what’s the matter??”

“What kind of contract is it? Is it a publishing contract?”

“What contract did the manager ask you to prepare?”

Everyone was curious

“Six million.” Their colleagues in the Legal Department didn’t conceal it, and said in disbelief, “Fang Qiu asked for six million copies!”

Everyone was shocked to hear it!

“Oh my God, it is a big order!”

“No wonder the manager is so excited.”

“After getting this order, our publishing company will get out of the financial crisis.”

“Oh! Although it’s a big order, it’s still a pity that Fang Qiu won’t publish books. It would be better if he publishes his own books. After so many years of editing, I want to see what Fang Qiu will write.”

“Me too!”

“Yes, the book written by Fang Qiu will be definitely different from that of others!”

“Oh, what a pity!”

Everyone sighed with excitement.

If Fang Qiu published a book, it would be great. They would be proud to say that they published Fang Qiu’s book.

Such a pity!

In the manager’s office, after reading the contract and confirming that there were no problems, Fang Qiu signed it without saying a word.

“Tell me your bank account.” After signing the contract, he said to Zhang Xingjie, “According to the terms of the contract, I will first transfer you a deposit of 10 million yuan, and the remaining balance will be settled at one time after all the printing is completed.”

Zhang Xingjie gave the bank card number to him quickly.

Fang Qiu immediately took out his mobile phone to transfer the money. After he finished it, Zhang Xingjie, who had received the money, immediately smiled happily.

But suddenly he paused.

“That’s not right.”

“I wanted Fang Qiu to write a book. Why did I get a printing task?”

Thinking of this, Zhang Xingjie immediately asked expectantly, “Mr. Fang, do you have any plans to publish a book? Any subject matter is fine! Anyway, you’re here now. Isn’t it a good idea to publish a book?”

Fang Qiu shook his head.

He was not planning to publish a book.

He didn’t know what to write.

Zhang Xingjie saw his hesitation, and he thought quickly. Since Fang Qiu had decided to print the books of Chinese Medicine and donate them, he definitely wanted to promote Chinese Medicine.

Yes! He might as well use it to persuade him.

So he quickly sorted out his thoughts, organized his words, and persuaded Fang Qiu. “Mr. Fang, your decision to print these books and your previous actions are all for the promotion of Chinese Medicine, and you are now an iconic figure in the field of Chinese Medicine. Don’t you think it is a good idea to publish a book about your experienceor the interesting and moving stories in your career to better promote Chinese Medicine?”

“After all, this is also a good channel to promote Chinese Medicine, isn’t it? It’s also a very orthodox channel.”

“Paper books are not the same as e-books. Paper books can be passed down. Not only people who bought them but also their offspring can read them. In the long run, paper books will have a greater influence!”

“Besides, if a person buys a well-written book, he may share it with others. This is large-scale publicity.”

After finishing his speech, he thought to himself that it would also bring in money.

But considering Fang Qiu’s generous action, he was not at all short of money, so he didn’t say it.

After saying it, he looked at Fang Qiu expectantly. Fang Qiu was surprised when he heard it.

He had only thought about printing books to lay the foundation of the audience for Chinese Medicine, but he had not considered publishing a book for publicity himself.

It seemed that this was a good idea. Seeing Fang Qiu’s look, Zhang Xingjie was overjoyed. He thought it was going to work.

He hurriedly said, “Actually, you don’t need to write a book personally. You only need to dictate. I can find someone to write it. There won’t be much trouble.” On hearing this, Fang Qiu immediately shook his head and said, “I’d better write it myself.”

He was a college graduate anyway. He was an experienced author in writing articles. Naturally, he also knew that others might not be able to express the ideas he wanted to express very well by simply listening to them. Besides, he suddenly came up with an idea.

Perhaps writing such a book would be more conducive to the promotion of Chinese Medicine. After he heard Fang Qiu’s words, Zhang Xingjie was surprised for a moment, but he immediately came to his sense. Overjoyed, he immediately said, “I’m glad you agreed. The royalties are 30% with a first print run of 500,000 copies. What do you think?”

The royalties were the highest in the industry, and there had never been such high royalties before

It could be seen that Zhang Xingjie really did his best to persuade Fang Qiu.

The cost price of a new book was not 5 yuan, but at least 10 yuan!

“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded.

He didn’t understand, but he thought it didn’t matter. Zhang Xingjie immediately got up when he heard it, and said excitedly, “Then I’ll go to draft a contract right away.”

He ran out quickly, for fear that Fang Qiu might change his mind. Outside the office, the employees of the publishing company were even more confused when they saw their manager running out of the office with excitement.

Outside the office.

“Could it be that the contract didn’t work and Fang Qiu asked for a new one?”

“Or did he think that the price was too high, and demand a reduction? But why does the manager look even happier?”

The employees thought to themselves. Before they could figure it out, the manager came out of the Legal Department with another contract and hurried back to his office.

They quickly rushed into the Legal Department again.

“Fang Qiu…Fang Qiu is about to publish a book!!!”

This time, before they asked, their colleagues from the Legal Department said with shock and excitement.

“What?!” Everyone was shocked by the news, and could not respond for a while.

A moment later, their faces were filled with disbelief and shock.

“What the manager took just now is the publishing contract!”

“It is Fang Qiu’s exclusive publishing contract!!” a colleague of the Legal Department said excitedly.

She had not expected that she would personally draft Fang Qiu’s publishing contract. What a great honor!

In an instant, everyone came to their sense and they couldn’t help exclaiming with excitement.

“Fang Qiu is really going to publish a book! Fang Qiu is really going to publish a book! Moreover, it is in our publishing company!”

“Wow, it’s a gift from heaven. Our publishing company is going to be famous this time!”

“Our manager is awesome! He managed to pull it off!”

In the manager’s office, Fang Qiu glanced at the contract. He found that no clause in the contract stipulated how many words he should write, or how long it would take him to finish the book. He was only given about one year. There was only one main theme of the entire contract, which was that Fang Qiu had signed a contract with Complex Characters Culture Publishing Company to publish a book!

The terms of the contract were quite generous. Fang Qiu nodded, and directly signed the contract with a pen.

Seeing this, Zhang Xingjie immediately transferred 4.5 million back to Fang Qiu’s bank account.

“According to what we talked about, the first print run is 500,000 copies, and the price of each book is 30. The 4.5 million is an advance payment. As for the book…you can write whenever you have the inspiration. We’ll have enough time to wait for you. There is no hurry,” Zhang Xingjie said happily.

Although he really wanted to see the finished book as soon as possible, when it would be finished all depended on Fang Qiu. He would be happy as long as it wouldn’t take him a few years.

“Then I need half a month.” Fang Qiu nodded and said, “I’ll give it to you in half a month.”

“What?” Zhang Xingjie was stunned.

“Half a month?”

“Yes, half a month.” Fang Qiu nodded.

Zhang Xingjie was overjoyed. It was a pleasant surprise. He had hoped that Fang Qiu could finish this book in one year, but he hadn’t expected it to be finished in half a month.

He didn’t worry about the quality of the book. With Fang Qiu’s reputation, he could sell it even if he wrote it terribly! At first, it was a contract of 6 million copies, and now it was half a month for Fang Qiu to publish the book. Today was really a happy day!

After the conversation, Fang Qiu put on the mask and left the publishing company.

After seeing Fang Qiu off, Zhang Xingjie returned with a smile.

“Mr. Zhang, is Fang Qiu really going to publish a book in our publishing company?” Seeing Zhang Xingjie’s happy smile, a female editor couldn’t help but immediately ask.

“Well?” Zhang Xingjie was surprised for a moment because he hadn’t expected those employees to know it, and then he saw their expectant eyes.

He laughed and looked at all his staff happily, and said loudly, “I now officially announce one thing to everyone. Just now, Fang Qiu signed a publishing contract with our publishing company!!!”

Everyone cheered frantically when they heard the good news.

“Ah! It is really happening!”

“Long live the boss!!!”

Looking at the frantically cheering employees, Zhang Xingjie raised his hand to motion them to calm down. After they were quieter, he continued, “Keep it quiet for the time being. Wait for my instructions. We have to give the industry a big gift this time!” He laughed.

“Great!” Everyone responded in unison.

Every one of them was holding back a smirk. They all knew that once the news was announced, it would definitely shock the entire publishing world!action

“Guys, wait for our publishing company to become famous!”

“You’d better be prepared to be jealous!”

After leaving the publishing company, Fang Qiu called He Xue directly and said that he would not return to Beijiang. Then he bought a ticket to Jiangjing and returned to the school directly.

Since he had said that he would finish it within fifteen days, then he would keep his word. So in these fifteen days, he must concentrate on writing. The next time when the publishing company finished printing the six million books, he must also present his own book.

The best place for writing was undoubtedly the school. It was quiet, undisturbed, and there was a library. He could easily find a lot of information he needed. At the same time, during his stay in school, he could discuss it with Mr. Xu when any problem arose.

He planned to stay here for the next fifteen days.

After he went back to the dorm, he brought his laptop directly to the library. As soon as he entered the library, he noticed that there were several students asking Xu Miaolin questions.

After all, Xu Miaolin’s identity had been exposed.

Known as a legend in the TCM world, he was naturally worshipped by all TCM students.

Naturally, some eager students came to him for advice. Xu Miaolin was happy to help these students.

Fang Qiu didn’t disturb them, and just smiled and watched not far away. After Xu Miaolin finished answering the questions, he walked into the reading room.

“Aren’t you busy? How come you have time to come here?” Xu Miaolin first smiled when he saw Fang Qiu, and then curiously asked, “Was the shark meat delicious?”

“Not at all.” Fang Qiu shook his head and said with a smile, “It was not delicious, so we didn’t eat it.”

“I guess it was not delicious, otherwise people wouldn’t have only talked about shark fin in history. Why did you come back this time?” Xu Miaolin nodded, then looked at Fang Qiu and asked curiously.

“I’m here to write a book.” Fang Qiu smiled.

“Really?” Xu Miaolin was surprised, thinking that he heard wrong, and he stared at Fang Qiu with a stunned expression. “What did you just say? Writing a book?”

“Yes.” Fang Qiu nodded affirmatively.

“What book are you going to write?” Xu Miaolin was even more curious.

“Well.” Fang Qiu smiled mysteriously, and said, “You will know.”

“Still a secret?” Xu Miaolin glanced at Fang Qiu and said, “Dude, I’m telling you, if you write some romance , I don’t think there is any need for us to continue to contact each other.”

“Rest assured.” Fang Qiu gave him a relieving look, and said, “It will definitely surprise you.”

With that, he raised his head, walked into the library, and started his crazy journey.

Xu Miaolin chuckled. He sat on the chair, and said to himself, “I am waiting to be surprised.” Fang Qiu concentrated on his writing and time flew.

In the past few days, the news spread quickly around the campus of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine. It was said that Fang Qiu had gone back to school, studied in the library, and used the computer to take notes. In the beginning, many people didn’t believe it.

However, after they went to the library to take a look, they realized that it was actually true. All of a sudden, even in class, teachers couldn’t help but compare Fang Qiu with the other students.

“Look at Fang Qiu. He is still studying so hard when he is so amazing. You are not serious about your study when you don’t know anything. Don’t you feel ashamed?”
