(Thanks for the generous reward of [the porridge is too muddy] [there is a forest behind] [the muddy]! Thank you for your encouragement!!)

Fengyun said he arrived two days later, but he didn't come after a week, and he also brought a foreigner over.

This foreigner wanted to buy international copyright from Chen Fan. Chen Fan's book was released in Yundian, and the simplified version of the book was also given to Yundian. Yundian has already talked with many domestic publishers, but it has not been discussed. Of course, the reason is the price issue.

The publisher wanted to win the copyright of "I Am a Magician" in the previous cooperation model, but Yundian thought the price was not suitable because the quality of Chen Fanshu was there. It was not published online to accumulate popularity, and publishing directly was definitely a best-selling book, so Yundian asked for more benefits. Of course, the publisher was unwilling, so both sides began to bargain. Unexpectedly, the domestic people came to the door by themselves.

This foreigner is named Rowan Johnson. He is the editor of the American Big Goose Publishing House. This time he made a special trip to China from America to buy the international copyright of Chen Fan's "I Am a Magician". He had conducted an investigation before. The book "I Am a Magician" was released in Yundian. So Yundian must have the copyright. However, after contacting the Internet, he found that the copyright was still in the hands of the author, so he flew over from America immediately. The interview was more sincere, which also represents the publisher's attention to this book.

The place where they met was in the best cafe in Rongzhou, which was known as a pure European and American flavor, but Chen Fan frowned when he saw Luo Wen take a sip of the coffee here. Maybe the pure European and American flavor here was just blown out.

Luo Hao sat next to Chen Fan, and opposite Fengyun and Luo Wen were Fengyun. Fengyun originally wanted to play a guest role in the translator, but Chen Fan directly spoke fluent English and lost his place to use his skills.

"Mr. Johnson, are you saying that my book has been translated into English by fans? Do you want to buy the copyright of my book in the future?" Chen Fan asked.

Luo Wen was very surprised by Chen Fan's English level. He said, "Mr. Chen's English is so great. If you don't look at your appearance, I would have thought that my compatriots were talking to me!"

Of course, you should know that languages ​​and texts in other worlds are much more complicated than English. As a magician, you don’t dare to read books without mastering several languages, and you don’t dare to go out without knowing how to speak several languages.

"Thank you, Mr. Johnson for your compliment!"

"You can call me Luo Wen!" Luo Wen said with a smile: "We did see your novel online. Although the translations of fans are rough, they are very attractive. We feel that they have great potential, so we want to buy them."

Then Luo Wen began to talk about the history and strength of Daege Publishing House. Daege Publishing House was originally a publishing house in England. After the founding of the United States, the founder of the publishing house moved the company to England, and then the publishing house grew stronger in America. Now Daege Publishing House is one of the three major publishing houses in the West, and there are many best-selling writers who have cooperated with them, especially in America, which is almost the dominant one.

After talking about the history of his publishing house, Luo Wen began to ask Chen Fan what he meant.

"Mr. Chen, you can rest assured about our publishing house. We will definitely find the best translator to translate your book and try to keep the original taste of your book. Can you authorize the book to us?" Luo Wen said with great anticipation and looked at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan nodded, of course he had to agree to such a thing. Compared with online articles, the income from American royalties is quite considerable. The West has been protecting copyright for many years, and the punishment for piracy and the legal system are very sound. If Chen Fan's book becomes popular, he can almost live on a book for the rest of his life.

"Then let's talk about how to settle the fee. I tend to buy out the copyright at one time for ten years, and we will pay a price of 100,000 US dollars per copy!" Luo Wen said. To be honest, this is already a high salary for a new writer. Chen Fan's books are long and there is no problem with publishing dozens of them. If you spend 100,000 US dollars per copy, then Chen Fan can get about a few million US dollars!

But Chen Fan shook his head.

"I won't accept the buyout, I want royalty sharing!" Chen Fan said calmly. Luo Hao's English is not good, and he can't negotiate this business, so Chen Fan talks by himself, after all, he has no language barriers.

He would not accept the price of buying out. The money is very fast, but Chen Fan is not very good at money. Whether in this world or in another world, he is not the kind of person who wants to hold the money when he sees it. He is very confident in his novels. He feels that the price must be worthy of his books. He proposes to share the money to prove how good his books are with sales. This is probably his kind of pride.

"This...if that happens, how much do you need to share?" Luo Wen asked. He did not look down on Chen Fan. A guy who can write books would never be a fool. He did not treat Chen Fan as a foreign writer, but treated him completely as a novice writer in the United States.

"I also investigated before I talked to you. I need 10%. " Chen Fan said.

Luo Wen shook his head firmly and said, "The royalty we give new writers is generally 7%, which is a reasonable price. 10% or higher is the treatment only for those who have achieved success."

The other party's bargaining was already in his expectation. Chen Fan smiled and said, "If my novel was published in volumes, I would have published many books. I would have to pay 7% of the royalties for the first book. How about the royalties for the results of our previous book in the future? If we sell well, we will add them, and if we don't sell well, we will reduce them."

"We may lose money in this way. Your book is in Chinese, and we still need to find someone to translate it. As far as I know, your book is almost 1 million words. Such a huge number is just a translation fee, which is a considerable expense! I'm afraid this won't work!" Luo Wen said with a embarrassed face.

Chen Fan wanted to laugh. This guy was changing his concepts. They just had to translate more than 100,000 words to make the first one, and then use the money they earned from the first one to make a second one. This cycle actually doesn't take up much of the publisher's resources.

Chen Fan didn't expose him, and he smiled and said, "You don't have to find someone to translate, I can do it myself. I don't think any translator will have me, the author, knows more about his works."

"You?" Luo Wen was surprised.

Fengyun next to him understood their conversation. He was the only one who had an introduction and a guide, so he didn't interrupt. He heard Chen Fan say that he was translating, and he was also surprised. Chinese writing and English writing were completely different things. Although Chen Fan wrote about fantasy themes and had a natural relationship with Western culture, he didn't think Chen Fan had the ability to translate his book well.

"Yes, I will translate it myself." Chen Fan said calmly. Luo Hao looked at the surprised expressions of the two people on the other side, and was at a loss. His English was the level of coping with the exam. With such a quick conversation, he could only understand a few words, so he didn't know what was going on.

"I doubt this." Luo Wen said with a straight face. He is a professional, and of course he knows the difficulty.

"Can you lend me your laptop to use?" Chen Fan said to Luo Wen with a smile. Luo Wen handed his laptop to Chen Fan directly. He still had to work on the way on the business trip, so he took the laptop with him at any time.

Chen Fan said: "This way, I will translate a paragraph on the spot, and you can tell if it is usable."

"That's the best!" Luo Wen still maintained a skeptical attitude.

Chen Fan smiled and began to typing on the keyboard. Then Luo Wen looked at Chen Fan's hand dancing on the keyboard in surprise. He stood behind Chen Fan in surprise, and the letters on the document were constantly jumping. After a while, Luo Wen looked at the text that Chen Fan had already coded on the screen. From his professional perspective, he had no problems at all.

What does this mean? This shows that the young man in front of him can actually master writing in two languages!

He is a genius!

Luo Wen felt that he had dug up his treasure.

He saw the manuscript translated by international students on the Internet, and when he saw it, he became obsessed with this book. You should know that from a professional perspective, the translation of international students is simply terrible, but for such translation, he, the professional editor of the three major publishing houses, actually read it, and he had the desire to continue reading it! He immediately told his boss about his discovery. After reading it, his boss made the decision to let Luo Wen be responsible for signing the author on the spot, which led to his trip to China.

"That's great! You are such an incredible person!" Luo Wen, who was standing behind Chen Fan, said happily.

"Then am I qualified?" Chen Fan stopped and asked with a smile.

Luo Wen bent down and looked through the manuscripts that Chen Fan had typed. He read them from beginning to end to make sure that he had read them wrongly just now. After reading them, he did not find any mistakes, and even the punctuation marks could not be found.

"Yes, you are such a genius! We will do what you said! But we have a strict review system. If your manuscript fails, we have the right to modify it! I must confirm this with you." Luo Wen said happily.

Since Chen Fan has the ability to translate his works into English, it is better to give Chen Fan the money he should give to him. As for what Chen Fan said, it depends on the results and then talk about the price. It is also a small risk for the publisher. If Chen Fan's books are greatly out of standard, they can choose not to publish them, which will also avoid the loss of being unable to sell after they are listed.

If Chen Fan sells books well, Chen Fan will be happy and the publishing house will make a lot of money, so that everyone will win the game. The reason why Daege Publishing House can stand tall for so many years is because of their business philosophy. A good author can bring long-term benefits to the publishing house. If you lose a good writer because of your temporary gains and losses, the publishing house will actually lose more.

"There is another thing. We have cooperation with e-book stores. The e-books of this book will be sold in online bookstores. The sales share is stipulated by online bookstores. You can get 25% of the share. I'll explain it to you." Luo Wen said. Most e-reading is genuine in the West, so the income in this area is also good.

Chen Fan had no objection to this, so he signed a contract. After signing the contract, the two parties exchanged contact information, and then Luo Wen and Fengyun left, and they both still had work.

"Is it all set?" Luo Hao was still a little confused, and he had a headache when he listened to the birds.

Chen Fan nodded and said, "Okay, but now I'm equivalent to writing two books, Chinese and English."

Luo Hao smiled and said, "Your speed is not a piece of cake!" Luo Hao was no longer surprised by what happened to Chen Fan. He felt that Chen Fan would be a bug after being hit.

"Have you contacted the friend who helped us translate books? Speaking of which, we have to thank him. If it weren't for him, a foreigner, wouldn't have noticed our books." Chen Fan asked. After knowing where the other party knew his books, they contacted the translator, and maybe the other party did not reply in time due to the jet difference.

Luo Hao's mobile phone was bound to the email address of their book friend. He picked up the phone and looked at it and said, "There is no response! If you ask me, this guy is considered a pirated copy! His translation has not been approved by us."

"Can you guy not be so stingy? People must have liked our books before translating them, otherwise who would have put that effort into it? Besides, they are all public versions, what versions are stolen?" Chen Fan said with a smile. This is nothing in China, but in fact it can be regarded as pirated in America.

Luo Hao thought about it and said, "It's also considered that he knew the truth. He posted the original address of our book, otherwise the foreigner wouldn't know where to look for us."

"Yes, otherwise I'll say I want to thank him!" Chen Fan said, "Contact him and I'll give him a painting as a thank you!"

"That kid made a profit. You can sell a lot of money for a painting!" Luo Hao muttered.

"We will get the royalties right away. The translator has no money to get it. Let's count his royalties!" Chen Fan said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
