Mu Ming has always been a little ashamed, in his previous life, he ran all over the world, and he didn't go abroad once or twice, but as a Dongshan person, he didn't even come to Qinan, the provincial capital of Dongshan, which is really a little unreasonable.
Well, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, as a Chinese, he has never been to Jingbei, so it seems that there is nothing to be ashamed of.
A few days ago, Mu Mingtuo's father inquired about the situation of the glorious year.
Father Mu has been mixed up for twenty or thirty years, and he still has some connections in the province, and he quickly understood the background of this company clearly.
The results of the investigation made Mu Ming very satisfied, Lin Caiwen did not lie to him, this newly established company is indeed true, and it has a deep background.
Mu Ming finally understood why Lin Caiwen dared to say so magnanimously that she could use the resource channels of the entire Dongshan Publishing Group, because her father was one of the managers of the Dongshan Publishing Group.
Mu Ming, who had investigated clearly, sent the manuscript of the complete version of "Soul Ferry" to the past, and after reviewing it, the glorious years were also very satisfied with the book.
That's why Mu Ming has today's Qi Nan line.
"Hello Uncle Chen."
Mu Ming walked out of the train station, looked around left and right, and saw the person who came to pick him up in front of a white SUV.
Walking over, there was a middle-aged man of medium stature standing next to the car, and Mu Ming hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
When the middle-aged man heard Mu Ming's voice, he turned his head, his eyes suddenly became happy, and he said as he approached: "Da Ming?
I haven't seen you in over a year.
Come on, come on, hurry up and get in the car, get in the car. ” The middle-aged man who came to pick up Mu Ming is called Chen Shanyi, an old friend who Mu's father met in high school.
After graduating from high school, he was admitted to university, and Mu's father went down to society, and the two of them have their own futures.
I thought it was hopeless to say goodbye, but I didn't expect that a few years later, Mu's father entered the provincial construction group in Dongshan, and Chen Shanyi passed the judicial examination and became a lawyer, which happened to be in charge of the legal business of Mu's father's company.
Old friends reunited, and working together, this kind of fate and feelings are naturally deep, and the two have a friendship of more than 20 years.
Even if Chen Shanyi stayed in Qinan later, and Mu's father returned to Haiwei, this friendship was still not broken.
Therefore, this time Mu Ming came to Qinan, and Mu's father contacted his old friend to take care of Mu Ming.
Chen Shanyi was naturally full of promises, so this time he not only received Mu Ming as an elder uncle, but also Mu Ming's lawyer to help him manage the signing of the contract.
Chen Shanyi still likes his old friend's son very much, and he shushed and asked for warmth along the way.
Especially knowing that Mu Ming has just finished the college entrance examination this year, she has asked everything from her grades to her future development direction, which makes Mu Ming, who has answered similar questions countless times with various relatives recently, tired.
Finally, when the questioning was over, Mu Ming hurriedly said, "By the way, Uncle Chen."
I'm on October and I'm not yet eighteen years old, can I sign the contract directly?
” Chen Shanyi smiled and said affirmatively: "Don't worry, it's okay."
According to the General Principles of the Civil Law, a contract signed by a person with limited capacity for civil conduct for pure profit, or a contract that coincides with his age, intelligence or mental health condition, can be regarded as a valid contract without the need for recognition by a legal representative. ” "Oh, that's right."
Mu Ming nodded suddenly in realization.
Chen Shanyi said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lao Mu has told me several times, and if there is a problem with the contract, I will leave it to me, and I won't let you suffer." ” Mu Ming thanked: "Then thank you Uncle Chen."
Chen Shanyi waved his hand: "Thank you, I have known you since you were a child."
Don't look at your father's face, look at your face, your uncle, I have to help. ” Chen Shanyi originally wanted Mu Ming to live in his house, but Mu Ming resolutely refused.
Just kidding, I finally came out once, how comfortable it is to live in a hotel by myself.
Chen Shanyi sent Mu Ming to the hotel room, Mu Ming took a shower and changed her clothes, and the two had a simple meal, and then rushed to the office building where the glory was located.
"Hello, I'm looking for Manager Lin Caiwenlin, I made an appointment with her before."
Mu Ming looked at the beautiful girl at the front desk and said.
"You are Mr.
Mu Ming, Manager Lin has explained before, I will take the two of you in."
The girl at the front desk smiled with a little curiosity, she knew that her manager and editor-in-chief had been on a business trip two days ago, and the author of the novel who came back and repeatedly emphasized that it was this Mu Ming, but she didn't expect to be so young.
"Manager Lin, Mr.
Mu Ming is here."
The girl at the front desk knocked on the door of the manager's office and said to Lin Caiwen inside.
Then he turned sideways and let Mu Ming and Chen Shanyi in the back, and closed the door and left.
"You may be seated."
Lin Caiwen humbly invited the two to sit down, and then looked at Chen Shanyi beside Mu Ming and said, "I don't know who this gentleman is?"
” "Chen Shanyi is the lawyer who represented Mu Ming in signing this contract."
Chen Shanyi bowed slightly and introduced himself.

"Lawyer Chen, I have admired my name for a long time."
Unexpectedly, Lin Caiwen actually knew Chen Shanyi.
Mu Ming was surprised for a moment, and then figured out that both of them were in Qinan, and Chen Shanyi had dealt with many large enterprises, so Lin Caiwen would know that he was normal.
After a few simple greetings, the three of them began formal contract negotiations.
In fact, the main content of the discussion is how much royalties will be shared, after all, this belongs to the core interests of both parties.
The share given in the glorious year is 8 percent, which is a very good figure for newcomers.
Although Lin Caiwen said that they are not bad for money, there is no reason to give money in vain in business.
But Mu Ming is not so satisfied with this share, his reason is that although he is a newcomer, the story of "Soul Ferry" cannot be regarded as a completely unknown newcomer work.
After all, he now has hundreds of thousands of Weibo followers, and a significant number of them are potential readers of the book.
In addition to how much it is divided, there are also a series of issues such as the packaging style of the book, the first printing, the pricing, the advance payment, and the publicity activities that Mu Ming will carry out during the book sale.
These terms, while not as important as royalty sharing, are also subject to discussion.
In fact, as long as both sides have the sincerity to cooperate in negotiations, no matter how big the differences are, they will eventually find a balance.
The three of them discussed for an afternoon, and it was not until the sunset that the full content of the contract was reached.
According to the contract, Mu Ming's share will be increased according to the book sales ladder. sales of less than 500,000 copies will be divided into 8%; if it exceeds 500,000 but is less than 1 million, the excess part is divided into 9%; More than 1 million, and the excess part is 10 percent.
There is also an incentive treaty, that is, if the physical book sales of "Soul Ferry" exceed 2 million, the share of the excess 500,000 is 12%.
In addition, the contract also stipulated that the number of first printing of "Soul Ferry" could not be less than 50,000 copies; Before publication, pay Mu Ming 30% of the advance payment and other conditions.
Similarly, Mu Ming must participate in the publicity activities planned for the glorious year, such as book signing parties, meet-and-greets, etc.; You also have to use your own microblog to help spread the word and so on.
Mu Ming agreed very happily, anyway, it was all for the sales of her own works, and there was nothing to excuse.
"Well, we're happy to work together."
Lin Caiwen got up, smiled and shook hands with Mu Ming solemnly.
Then, he instructed: "By the way, Mu Ming, your simplified story on Weibo will end as soon as possible, and start promoting the physical book." ” Mu Ming nodded: "I understand, there is only one story left."
When it was over, I started to promote it.
Speaking of this, Mu Ming paused, seemed to remember something, and said to Lin Caiwen: "By the way, Manager Lin."
Do you know a music producer or arranger?
” "Music producer?"
Lin Caiwen asked suspiciously.
"Yes."
Mu Ming nodded, a strange smile on the corner of her mouth.
There was an idea, but it had been precipitated in his plan for a long time.
