Chapter 15 – I Am Generous
“Should I get you a cup of coffee?”
“No, I drank some already I’m fine”
The three people sat on cushi+ons in Jaegun’s rooun first said
“I’ll forget everything that doesn’t have anything to do with business I won’t say any words”
“Ahah, Yes…”
Manager Ma Jonggu could only put down his head because he felt a bit guilty He knew it himself It was the truth that he was harsh on the past no-naun He could have done better to him, but he didn’t
“You know the conditions that I gave to Gyungsu, right? I’ll start from there”
“That is, sir, the paper books conditions are fine, but the electronic book conditions are a bit… yes Couldn’t you lengthen the contract length or give uslike that occur?”
Jonggu was saying this, practically begging
Even though he wasn’t the type to act like a baby, Jaegun looked around and let out a sight as if he was frustrated Just with this, Jonggu and Gyungsu became afraid and shook
“Then let’s do this”
Jaegun, even though he thought of this earlier, said like he just thought of it now
“I’ll only take 10 percent for the paper books I don’t need guaranteed circulation, and I’ll take 1 percent starting from 4000 copies But I’ll keep the 2 year contract with the 7 and 3 ratio for the electronic books
Jonggu’s face showed his coenerous
“I’enerous”
“Ah, Yes Sir… but…”
It ard for Jonggu to contract like this
There was no way to see how ood as well There was no guarantee that Jaegun’s books were going to be a string of successes It was his honest thoughts that he wanted to take more on the electronic side of the business
Just then, Jaegun held up his index finger and continued
“If you listen to my personal request, I can maybe allow the contract year to increase to 3 years Or ive you 1 more on the electronic settlement ratio
“Personal request?”
Jaegun held up his er as well and opened three fingers
“Enter in 30,000 dollars in first”
Jonggu opened his h to show his uvula
There was no way to knohat Jaegun was going to write, howto write; there was absolutely no information on his neorks And with that, an input of 30,000 dollars, that was a huge amount
“Wr-writer Ha…”
Instead of the flabbergasted Jonggu, Gyungsu spoke up
“This n with use, how onna write for the series”
“At least 10 books”
Gyungsu nodded his head and did the calculations
The cost for a 10 book series is about 24,000 dollars if it’s 3000 copies per book To not have any losses, there constantly needs to be at least 3000 copies selling or Jaegun had to increase the series length There was no guarantee that even 3000 copies would be sold either
‘If we contract and make a loss…’
The thing that was left was the electronic platform
If there was a loss, the only way to make it up was like electronic books Hetae Media went into the electronic market a bit late To row
“Hmm…”
Jonggu was deep in thought pressing on his nose
It was Jonggu’s way of just throwing out writers who didn’t result in money Therefore, that hy he was afraid He was afraid if Jaegun was going to throw out Hetae Media the same way
“10 books… Please, you need to write no matter what until the 10th book”
“I said it with , I would write more”
Jonggu felt somewhat relieved but one part of his un pulled out his phone, checked it, and showed it to Jonggu
“Would you look at this?”
Jonggu and Gyungsu’s eyes both went to the phone screen It contained Starbooks’ Soe
