The matter of publishers cheating authors is nothing new.
The publishing house will not disclose to the author the true price signed with the copyright purchaser. Then it will lower the price very low, quote the author, and then trick the author into entrusting them with the copyright.
In this way, the copyright buyer can purchase the copyright he wants at a relatively low price, and the publisher can also get part of the difference.
These are the unspoken and unspoken rules of the industry.
Song Lei used this method to purchase the broadcast copyright of this novel from the publisher at a relatively low price. It's just that yesterday he was so angry at Qin Hao that he drank a few more glasses of wine during dinner, which caused a disaster.
Afterwards, after the author cursed him for a while, Song Lei basically woke up from the alcohol.
It was at that time that he realized something was broken. So after returning home in a daze, I immediately called the editor in charge of the matter at the publishing house, and together we dug a hole for Qin Hao to jump into.
And he left in a hurry at this time, not to see a doctor, but because he was going to negotiate for the broadcast rights of another novel immediately. He had gotten into a big trouble, and now he had to make amends.
After Song Lei turned around and left, Qin Hao's mind was still a little confused. He didn't know what Song Lei's purpose was in entrusting him with this matter, but he was sure that it was definitely not a good thing.
Yesterday, Song Lei caused so much trouble to him, and even smashed an ashtray that he liked very much. Qin Hao couldn't figure it out, and he left such an important thing to himself after just one day. What if you screw up
This is unscientific!
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
Thinking of this, Qin Hao also became a little confused.
It's not that he has a dark mind. Yesterday's incident was placed on him. I'm afraid he won't be relieved so quickly!
Suddenly, he remembered that there was a pair of truth glasses in the system? This thing is perfect for use now!
Qin Hao immediately touched the bracelet on his wrist, clicked on the truth glasses on the virtual screen and confirmed use.
…
The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning, three hours before the live broadcast of Song Lei's new novel, he arrived at the radio station covered in dust.
He did not go directly to his office, but found Lin Xiaohui, the assistant of the literary channel, and asked: "Xiao Lin, when did Qin Hao leave after I went to the hospital yesterday?"
Lin Xiaohui was stunned and said, "Of course Teacher Qin left when he got off work. What's wrong..."
Before Lin Xiaohui finished speaking, she saw Song Lei's face darken, turned around and left angrily. It was only at this time that she discovered that Teacher Song had dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that he had not rested well.
Lin Xiaohui stuck out her tongue at this time and complained in a low voice: "Hey, aren't you going to cause trouble for Teacher Qin again?"
Immediately, she quietly followed Song Lei, wanting to see what he was going to do.
At this time, Song Lei hurriedly rushed to the door of his office, raised his foot and kicked on the door of the office, making a loud bang, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the literary channel.
The other staff members looked at each other, and their eyes suddenly shone with excitement.
We can't blame them. In an institution like a radio station, every day is a very repetitive job, which is actually very boring.
There is no doubt that at this time, they all thought of the joke made by Song Lei and Liu Ming yesterday, and they laughed naturally at the corners of their mouths.
With such expectations in their hearts, they all came out of their offices one by one to see what was going on.
Qin Hao was sitting in the office at this time. He suddenly heard a bang and knew that Song Lei was back. Looking at his two dark panda eyes, a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
This guy is really dedicated. Isn't it because he didn't sleep all night
"Qin Hao, why didn't you do what I told you yesterday? Do you still have a collective concept in your eyes? If you can't even do this well, what can you be expected to do in the future?"
Song Lei's words were almost roaring, which made Qin Hao's eardrums hurt. He couldn't help secretly cursing that if this guy was born in his original plane, Ma Jingtao would be unable to survive for no reason. He would be like a new generation of Roaring Emperor!
Qin Hao asked in astonishment at this time: "What's going on?"
Qin Hao raised his head at this time and saw Zhang Guodong walking into the office with a sullen face. He reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by yelling? Song Lei, you too, do you still have the bearing of an old man?" What should a newcomer shout?"
At this time, Song Lei looked at Zhang Guodong as if he was an angry little daughter-in-law who saw her mother-in-law, and said with tears in her eyes: "Mr. Zhang, I was sick yesterday, and I came to the unit specially to bring something very important. I left the work to Qin Hao, but who knew he didn’t help me with it at all!”
Zhang Guodong didn't think it was a big deal at this time, and asked with a smile: "What is it that makes you so angry?"
"Yesterday was the day to sign the new novel broadcast rights with the publishing house..." Song Lei said with a guilty conscience at this time.
Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, he heard a series of gasps, and even Zhang Guodong's brows suddenly frowned.
"This Xiao Qin, what's the use of just being talented? The old man at the radio station doesn't care at all about the work he told me. How will my colleagues get along with him in the future!"
"That's right, oh, he got into trouble this time, such a big thing!"
"Hey, how can such an important thing be left to Xiao Qin, a newcomer? He has no experience at all. Isn't this nonsense? Where is Teacher Song's assistant? I seemed to see him asking for leave yesterday. He doesn't really know how to see a doctor. Have you gone?"
When they suddenly heard this sentence, everyone couldn't help but laugh, and it was hard to hold back their laughter.
It was at this time that everyone realized that Song Lei was not doing this properly. If you don't arrange an assistant to do this kind of thing, why do you have to arrange a new rookie to do it
After calming down a little, Zhang Guodong slowly said, "Xiao Qin, is it really what Song Lei said?"
Qin Hao stood up with a wry smile, nodded to Zhang Guodong and said, "Boss, I really can't do this. The author of "The Legend of Qiu Ying" has no intention of selling the copyright to us!"
"The Legend of Qiu Ying" is the novel for which Song Lei had negotiated copyright before.
"Why not sell it? I've made an agreement with the people from the publishing house. All I need is you to sign on my behalf!" Song Lei took a step forward and looked at Qin Hao fiercely.
Qin Hao sneered at this time, picked up a statement from the desk, put it in Zhang Guodong's hand, and said: "Mr. Zhang, the author has not authorized this right to the publishing house at all, which means that Teacher Song has to sign it with the publishing house. It is simply a void contract.”
"You're talking nonsense!" Song Lei snatched the statement from Zhang Guodong's hand at this time, and his face turned red for a moment.
However, when he saw the black and white words on the statement, his eyes gradually became evasive. He was also a little scared at this time. If his backhand didn't show up, wouldn't he be in trouble
Qin Hao then smiled and added: "The author originally wanted to sue our channel, but I had to talk hard to persuade him..."
"Pfft..." Song Lei almost spit out a mouthful of old blood at this time.
