I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 267 Contracts
"...Brother, I'm leaving."

When his grandma came back from dancing in the square outside, Little Pang Dun got up and slipped away.

Seeing the little fat pier run away, Ji Zhuo smiled,
Looking at the night tonight again, he also got up and went back to the house.

He has to go to bed early tonight, and he has to go to Feimo Novel tomorrow.

But this kind of thought disappeared when I got home and opened the door.

Looking at the "Imperial Epic" still piled up in the living room, waiting for his signature,
Ji Zhuo remained silent for a while, feeling numb.

After signing these days, the two thousand copies have not been signed yet.

The signature of the Chinese version has to pay attention to handwriting, and each autographed book also adds a philosophical sentence, which is similar to the blessings he added when signing other books.

I don't know where the smelly habit came from.

Hey……

Ji Zhuo sighed.

Sitting down in front of the coffee table, he dragged a large cardboard box of "The Epic of the Empire" from the side, took the pen, and continued to sign.

……

"...Uncle Yu, why don't you go to sleep?"

"Sit down a little longer."

It was late at night, and the lights in the living room were still on. The old man was sitting on a chair,

Sitting by the window of the balcony in the living room, the evening breeze blows as usual.

The wind will tell him about the invisible man, the trees and leaves outside the window, and other people's houses.

"...Why, you're sleepy. Go to bed when you're sleepy. I'm not going anywhere. I'll go back to my bedroom in a while, and I don't need to look after her."

The old man turned his head back from facing out of the window, and said to the place where the voice came from.

"I'm not sleepy. I'm still young and full of energy. I'm afraid that Uncle Yu will get tired if you don't rest when you are late."

The nurse responded to the old man's words.

"Then sit a little longer."

The old man turned his head again, facing the direction of the evening wind blowing from the window.

"It's like this when people get older. They sleep less and sleep less. If they don't sleep, they always feel sleepy."

The old man continued talking, paused again, and was still facing out of the window,

"...Tell me, what kind of night is it like now? Where is the moon? Are there any stars?"

"The moon is right in front of you, Uncle Yu, raise your head up, and hang in the night on the top in front of you."

The nurse walked to the old man's side and raised his head to look out the window at night.

Hearing what the nurse said, the old man also raised his head, as if facing the direction of the moon, and then closed his eyes.

"The weather is fine today. There are a few bright stars on the side of the moon, and a few near the top. There are also some in the sky on the left, and there are also on the right... There is also a plane flying high in the night sky."

"Uncle Yu, you should have heard it."

"I heard this."

With his eyes closed, the old man listened to the nurse's description,

He opened his eyes again, but he still couldn't see anything when he opened his eyes.

The old man was still holding the mobile phone, and the screen of the mobile phone was still on. On the screen of the mobile phone that was on, the updated content of "Star Dream" was displayed.

Looking up, the old man faced the window again,

From the night outside the window, to the novel after listening to it,
"Have you read the update of "Star Dream"?"

"Look, I've been reading this author's novels all the time, even if there are few updates every day, this novel is also uncomfortable to read."

"That's right... Some of the contents are comforting to watch... But after reading it and thinking about it, the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes."

The old man said,
It seemed to be the reason why he hadn't slept so late.

While talking, the old man fell silent, still facing the direction of the evening wind blowing outside the window.

"...Uncle Yu, you still have the impression of the one who wrote "Seven Sins". His new book "The Epic of the Empire" will be published in China soon. Would you like to buy it and have a look?"

"...Then buy it back and take a look. I will trouble you to read it for me then, Nian Nian."

"It's okay, Uncle Yu, I really want to see it too."

……

"...Master, go to Feimo Novel Company."

"Ha~"

The next day Ji Zhuo got up early,

In the morning, I wrote out the update of the day and sent it out.

I didn't feel it when the code word was updated, but I couldn't stop yawning when I was on the taxi to Feimo Fiction Company after I was busy.

"...Little brother, you didn't sleep well last night. Let me tell you, we should go to bed early, otherwise we won't have much energy for the next day..."

"okokokok……"

Along the way, the taxi driver talked a lot,

Ji Zhuo felt hypnotized when he heard the sound, the more he listened to it, the more sleepy he became, he yawned several times, and almost fell asleep in the car by responding indiscriminately.

"...Little brother, we're here."

Until we got to the place and got out of the car,

When the wind blew, Ji Zhuo barely woke up.

"Mr. Ji."

Outside the building of Feimo Novel Company, there were already people waiting for Ji Zhuo.

It was Ji Zhuo's lawyer, and he was the same lawyer I brought with me last time when I went to discuss licensing issues with Pioneer Film and Television. Fortunately, I didn't get poached by Pioneer Film and Television this time.

This time I came to Feimo Novel to sign a contract, so naturally I brought a lawyer with me.

Ji Zhuo went up to shake hands with the lawyer, and then walked to Feimo Novel Company.

But before he went in, someone came out to welcome him.

Probably two people,

The pen and ink of non-ink novels, and the editor-in-chief of non-ink novels,

And an editor-in-chief who started reading novels.

"Mr. Ji, it's been a long time."

The editor-in-chief of Shiyue Novels and the editor-in-chief of Non-Mo Novels greeted Ji Zhuo with a smile,

"It hasn't been long. Although we don't see each other often, we have always cooperated."

After shaking hands, the two exchanged a few pleasantries, and then entered the office building of Feimo Novel Company.

in the conference room.

All the people sat down one after another,

It was probably divided into three parties, and then chatted casually,

Let’s get to the point. First, the editor-in-chief from Shiyue Novel’s side,

"Mr. Ji, editor-in-chief Yang of Non-Mo Fiction has already talked to us about the copyright issues of your three novels in Shiyue. Indeed, compared to your value to Non-Mo Novels and Shiyue's novels, these three books The value of the copyright is not that high. We are willing to transfer the copyrights of these three works, "Mortal Cultivation", "Resuscitating Cthulhu" and "Seven Days of Hell", which originally belonged to Shiyue's novels, to Mr. Ji for free."

"This is the contract we drew up. See if there is any problem."

The editor-in-chief of the first novel took out a contract and handed it to Ji Zhuo,
The contract is a free copyright transfer contract.

The content of the contract is that Shiyue Novels is willing to transfer part of the copyrights of these three novels, originally belonging to Shiyue Novels, to Ji Zhuo.

As for the transfer price, it is one yuan.

Hmm... It's not considered a free transfer.

Ji Zhuo took a look at the contract and handed it to the lawyer next to him.

The lawyer listened to the words of the editor-in-chief of Shiyue's novel, and then glanced at the contract that Ji Zhuo handed over.

Some silence.

Feeling useless.

After all, the other party only needs one yuan, so what else can we talk about, and then bargain for fifty cents?
Others are basically willing to transfer copyright for free.What else can we talk about.

He can also help to see if there are any loopholes in the contract.

Naturally, there is nothing wrong with the contract... It has been transferred for free, so there are no other problems, and there are no additional binding clauses on Ji Zhuo.

Complete gentlemen's agreement.

So the lawyer handed the contract back to Ji Zhuo again, telling him that there was no problem.

"Thank you, editor-in-chief Qiu, and thank you for reading the novel."

"It's a win-win."

Ji Zhuo thanked Shiyue novel,

The editor-in-chief of the first novel said with a smile.

The two parties signed the two contracts. As for the official seal of the novel, it was stamped when the contract was handed over.

"Then our work is done, and the rest is the new contract between Mr. Ji and Feimo Novels."

Both parties received the contracts, and the editor-in-chief who started reading the novel said something with a smile, but remained silent.

Editor-in-Chief of Feimo Fiction, Editor-in-Chief Yang took over the conversation.

"Mr. Ji, in consideration of the fact that your works are better than each book, and your positive impact on non-mo novels, we have decided to re-sign a contract with you, and hope that you can create even better novels in the future. , a classic."

"I'm also a loyal reader."

Editor-in-chief Yang was talking with a smile, and handed over a contract,
"The terms of the contract are the same as what you have told Mr. Ji before. This is a draft contract. Look at it and see if there is any problem."

Ji Zhuo took a glance at the contract and handed it to the lawyer.

The lawyer took a look at the contract and became even more numb.

He felt that it was useless for him to be a lawyer in this situation.

clearly stated in the terms of the contract.

Party B, namely Ji Zhuo, can obtain [-]% electronic subscriptions and reward income of his works created on non-ink novels, and owns complete copyrights of the novels.

But there are no restrictive rules for Ji Zhuo.

Even the previous restriction that under the same conditions, online serial works should be serialized on non-ink novels is gone, because it is really unnecessary.

Complete gentlemen's agreement.

It's clear that I don't want to make money directly from your novels, but I just want you to put your serialized works in non-mo novels, so as to continuously bring new readers to non-mo novels.

Just this kind of contract.

The lawyer felt that his coming was in vain, and he had no room for development.

So after reading the terms and conditions,

The lawyer silently handed the contract back to Ji Zhuo again, saying again that there was no problem.

He felt that he was guilty of taking the lawyer's fees today.

Ji Zhuo accepted the contract,

The two sides signed this new contract with Feimo Novel.

"...Mr. Ji, and then it's the last contract."

"We decided to give you part of the equity in Feimo Novels. After discussing with Shiyue Fiction Headquarters, we decided to set this equity at 5.00%."

"We are willing to give you 5.00% of the shares in Feimo Novel for free. This is the contract we have drawn up."

Editor-in-Chief Yang of Feimo Fiction handed over another contract,
Ji Zhuo took over the contract and glanced at it. There was nothing to say about the content of the contract. It was an equity transfer contract in which Shiyue Novels transferred 5.00% of the shares of Feimo Novels to Ji Zhuo.

There is still one dollar for the transfer price.

Next to him, the lawyer heard the equity transfer contract, his eyes lit up, and he felt that he had room to play.

Listen carefully again, transfer for free...then fell silent again.

Others give it away for free, what else can I say.

Just like shopping on the street, you want the other party to give you a discount, but before you even ask, the other party tells you that it’s free for you.

What can you say.

"...There is nothing wrong with the contract, but the 5.00% equity only has the right to dividends, the right to transfer, but no voting rights, and if it is transferred, it will be transferred to Shiyue Novels first?"

The lawyer looked over the contract and finally had something to say.

"It's not that I don't have voting rights, but I hope that Mr. Ji can continue to entrust this part of voting rights to Shiyue Novels."

The editor-in-chief who started reading the novel said.

Ji Zhuo nodded, but he didn't have any opinion on it.

He is just a novelist, so he doesn't care how Feimo's novels work.

He still finds it troublesome.

On the other hand, he had some ideas.

"I have no objection to the continued exercise of voting rights by Shiyue Novel. I just want to ask. Will the shares of Feimo Novel be sold additionally?"

This is also Ji Zhuo's temporary thought,

It was also the idea after Feimo Novels wanted to give him part of the equity.

Maybe the main reason is that he has a lot of savings in his bank card... The original goal of the big villa can basically be realized.
And his money basically has no place to spend it...

Now that you have equity in Non-Mo Novels, how about more?

"Mr. Ji wants to buy some shares in non-mo novels?"

The editor-in-chief of Non-Mo Fiction and the editor-in-chief who just started reading novels looked at each other,
Then Editor-in-Chief Yang asked Ji Zhuo again.

"I wonder how much more Mr. Ji wants to buy?"

"How much non-mo novels are you willing to sell?"

Editor-in-chief Yang didn't speak immediately.

This matter is not something he can directly decide.

If someone mentions this matter, they will naturally refuse it directly.
Non-ink novels are booming now, and there are Shiyue novels behind them,

There is no need to transfer shares at all.

But the person to mention is Ji Zhuo... It is because of him that non-mo novels are flourishing now.

"Mr. Ji, this matter may need to be discussed with Shiyue Novels. You may need to wait, Mr. Ji."

When Chief Editor Yang said this, Ji Zhuo nodded.

Then the signing of the contract was temporarily suspended.

Editor-in-Chief Yang of Feimo Fiction and the editor-in-chief of Shiyue Novels went to get in touch with the people who can make decisions about Shiyue Novels.

I just chatted with Ji Zhuo in the conference room.

"...Boss, your book should be a medium-length novel."

For non-ink novels, pen and ink are the most familiar with Ji Zhuo, and they speak relatively casually.

"Hmm... Maybe finish writing this month?"

Ji Zhuo thought for a while, and responded like this.

"Shouldn't there be any more knives in the future, right? I'm almost "depressed" when I look at the content."

The pen and ink bite the word "depressed" very hard.

Ji Zhuo responded with a couple of ummm, but didn't answer directly.

Chatted a few more casually with pen and ink,
The editor-in-chief of Non-Mo Fiction and the editor-in-chief who started reading novels are both coming back,
At the same time, it also brought a share transfer contract.

This speed made Ji Zhuo doubtful... Before he mentioned this matter, Feimo Novels had already made plans.

"...Mr. Ji, Shiyue Novels is willing to transfer an additional [-]% of the equity to you, Mr. Ji."

While talking, Chief Editor Yang handed over the new contract to Ji Zhuo.

At last,
on this equity transfer contract.

Shiyue Novels transferred to Ji Zhuo a total of [-]% of non-mo novels’ equity,

Among them, 5.00% will be donated to Ji Zhuo free of charge,
The remaining 3000% was transferred to Ji Zhuo at a price of [-] million RMB.

3000 million, three percent, according to the current market value and expected development of non-ink novels.

In fact, it was sold at a low price.

But the one who bought it was Ji Zhuo, it was half sold and half given away.

……

"……sorry to bother you."

Ji Zhuo said goodbye to the lawyer he invited,

The lawyer seemed a little silent, probably not in a particularly good mood.

Ji Zhuo took a long look, and took the three signed contracts back as a taxi.

Waiting for Ji Zhuo to leave,

The lawyer was relieved from bowing his head in silence,

It really felt like his trip was in vain, and he felt that as a lawyer, he had no room for development.

It's just Mo Novels' attitude towards Ji Zhuo, wishing to confess Ji Zhuo, there is no room for him to develop.

but,

Immediately afterwards, the lawyer looked at the legal fees that had already arrived,
Suddenly it feels...it seems to be pretty good.

It's easy, and the lawyer's fee is paid.

It seems pretty good.

If only everything were this easy.

Thinking of this, the lawyer smiled again.

Well, think about it again,
In fact, it's not surprising that Feimo Novels treat Ji Zhuo that way.

Don't even think about who his employer is this time,
That’s Ji Zhuo, that’s the dog author, just Ji Zhuo’s new readers for non-mo novels during this period of time,
It's enough non-mo novels to confess Ji Zhuo.

Hmm... He also reads novels written by the dog author...

Hey, I'm looking for professionalism, and I'm looking for a dog author to ask for a signed book.

The lawyer felt a little disappointed again.

……

On the other side, Ji Zhuo was in a taxi,
When I got home, I threw the three contracts aside,
Even throwing myself on the sofa, and then paralyzed on the sofa,

I yawned and didn't want to move.

I feel that signing a contract in a non-ink novel is more tiring than updating two more chapters,
The main reason is that I got up early today, and I am still a little sleepy now.
