When a top student turns into a bad student

Chapter 120 Signing
Wang Zhi and Lin Jia separated at the intersection opposite the bank. Wang Zhi went straight back to the factory to work, while Lin Jia went straight home.

After arriving home, Lin Jia quickly sent his bank card information to the two magazines.

This time, Liu Xia's response was not as fast as that of another editor. After receiving the bank card information, the other editor quickly responded to Lin Jia, and then the editor asked her if she was interested in signing an exclusive contract with them.

Lin Jia also signed an exclusive contract before. The manuscript fee will be higher if he signs an exclusive contract, and the probability of the manuscript being published is also higher.

Like her before, if she was in good condition, she would publish a new manuscript every month for several months.

Even if she doesn't write sometimes, the magazine will still ask for articles, and sometimes she will be given priority to invite some event opportunities.

However, Lin Jia only regarded writing as a hobby, a small world of his own, and did not tell his family and friends. Therefore, Lin Jia never participated in any activities that required appearances.

Signing an exclusive contract came at the right time for Lin Jia now. The other party directly told Lin Jia that if he signed an exclusive contract, the fee for the next published manuscript would rise from [-] to [-] words per thousand words, and there would be further increases after that. Space, look at the quality of the manuscript.

Dozens of dollars more for one thousand words may not seem like much, but a manuscript of eight thousand words can add up to four to five hundred dollars at once, which is quite a lot.

Lin Jia's monthly pocket money can't even use this much now.

But Lin Jia didn't agree immediately. Instead, she sent a message to Liu Xia, "Liu Liu, do you know about Hua Meng Magazine? They want to sign an exclusive contract with me. If I sign with them, they won't be able to send you articles."

Liu Liu is Liu Xia’s nickname, and foreign authors all call her that.

This time, as soon as Lin Jia's news was sent out, Liu Xia responded immediately. She directly sent a row of exclamation points, and then typed again, "Jia Jia, you have also submitted a manuscript to Hua Meng, and we want to find you too. As for the exclusive signing, I had a meeting last week to discuss it with the editor-in-chief."

Because Lin Jia used the pen name "Hui Jia" to submit articles to Liu Xia, when Liu Xia contacted Lin Jia, she called her Jiajia.

Seeing Liu Xia's words, Lin Jia's lips raised slightly. This feeling of being recognized was quite good.

"Well, I initially submitted articles to Liuliu and Huameng at the same time. I prepared several articles at the time, thinking to see if I could increase the probability of hitting them. Unexpectedly, they were all chosen."

Lin Jia spoke calmly, but Liu Xia was very shocked in her heart. She was able to prepare several manuscripts at the same time. This strength was stronger than she imagined.

Huameng and Feihua have always been in a competitive relationship, and the styles of the two magazines are not much different. However, Huameng is a relatively new magazine, and its readership is not as large as theirs, but its development in the past two years is still quite good.

Liu Xia felt that she couldn't let Hua Meng sign Lin Jia, so she called Lin Jia directly.

"Jiajia, it's like this. Our family also really wants to sign an exclusive contract with you. If Huameng offers you any conditions, we can add them to you on the basis of his and theirs. How about it?"

Lin Jia would definitely be happy if both families wanted to sign an exclusive contract at the same time, which meant that her salary would be improved. However, even though she preferred Liu Xia in her heart, she did not answer immediately, but said that she needed to think about it.

After finishing the call with Liu Xia, on her QQ, Huameng's editor had sent many messages to Lin Jia, asking her if she had any ideas about signing. If she had any additional requirements, she could talk about it first.

Hua Meng's sincerity is also full. If it weren't for Liu Xia, Lin Jia might have agreed directly.

She hesitated for a moment, then directly replied to Hua Meng's editor, "Sorry, I'm confused now, because besides your family, Fei Hua also asked me to sign an exclusive contract." When Hua Meng's editor saw this, he felt deep in his heart. I was worried that Lin Jia would sign Feihua. They are now in the process of development and need high-quality writers to attract users.

Therefore, when wooing Lin Jia, Hua Meng's editors took advantage of the prospects of their magazine and also helped Lin Jia analyze what her future development would be if she were on their platform.

Lin Jia originally planned to use Hua Meng to negotiate terms with Fei Hua, but seeing Hua Meng being so sincere, he couldn't bear to take advantage of her, so he said directly, "Thank you for your affirmation, but I still decided to sign an exclusive contract with Fei Hua."

After Lin Jia's rejection, Hua Meng did not give up, but continued to ask, "Can you tell me what conditions Fei Hua offered you? We can continue to talk."

In fact, Feihua didn't offer any conditions. To put it bluntly, on top of Hua Meng, Lin Jia didn't intend to use Hua Meng to negotiate conditions with Fei Hua.

Therefore, I declined again, "They haven't made any conditions yet. They just submitted the article at that time. They were the first to contact me, and I also received the sample issue, so I am more biased toward them."

"You Hua Meng are also great, but sometimes it's hard to talk about fate, so I choose from my heart. I hope you can understand."

Seeing Lin Jia's words, Hua Meng really didn't have anything to say. They just chose without talking about conditions. That was definitely not something they could do just by adding conditions.

"Okay, I hope we have another chance to cooperate in the future."

Lin Jia sent a handshake expression and continued, "The days are long, I believe there is a chance."

Lin Jia and Feihua signed an exclusive contract, and at most it was only for short stories, and the exclusive contract was only signed every few years. Maybe when we stop cooperating, Lin Jia can find other cooperation, such as Hua Meng.

After making the decision, Lin Jia said directly to Liu Xia, "Liu Liu, just tell me what the conditions and treatment will be like after signing an exclusive contract with Feihua. I just rejected Hua Meng and am ready to hang out with you first." ~"

Liu Xia had been waiting for Lin Jia's reply. When she saw that she had chosen Feihua, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Of course the condition is that during the contract period, you can only publish in our magazine and cannot go to other magazines. If you have medium-length works, We Feihua have the priority to sign the contract.”

Lin Jia could accept these, and she directly sent an OK gesture.

"As for the remuneration, I have also applied with my boss. Those who have passed the manuscript and have not yet published it can be calculated as two hundred and four thousand words, and new ones after that can be calculated as three hundred and thousand words. We have author rankings every year. The higher the level, the higher the salary." The higher the fee for a [-]-word manuscript is, the higher it will be.”

The treatment Liu Xia mentioned was really higher than Hua Meng's, although Lin Jia didn't ask for a price from Liu Xia.

More than 200 words in a thousand words is already very good for Lin Jia, and it can reach [-] in the future.

Lin Jia had no objection at all, and then he and Liu Xia agreed on the contract terms, and they happily decided to cooperate.

Lin Jia didn't expect that in just two days, she would sign two contracts.

Liu Xia was also very quick. The contract was drawn up and given to Lin Jia. However, because Lin Jia was still underage, he needed the consent of his guardian. After Lin Jia told Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi readily agreed to cooperate.
