Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 237 Selling the Swedish Edition

The Royal Poetry Publishing House accounted for the majority of the manuscript fee this time, so they naturally wouldn't let themselves suffer. www.geiliwx.com At this time, President Geralf represented his request.

"Thank you for your attention to the Swedish market of "The Collection of All Beings". We have decided after discussion. His Swedish version must have a buyout fee of 2 million pounds." Geraf said.

The buyout fee of 2 million pounds is considered a moderate price. After all, Kevin now has the status of British poet laureate. This status has already attracted a lot of sales. Therefore, after careful consideration by the Swedish Translation Publishing House, they decided to buy it.

"As for your request to buy out "Anthology of All Beings" for £2 million, we think we can accept it. After all, "Anthology of All Beings" is indeed a very good collection of poetry. So, if there are no other questions, I think we will discuss tomorrow You can sign a contract. After the contract takes effect, we will publish this work in Sweden." The other party said.

"Okay, let's wait and see." Geraph said happily.

So, after the two sides chatted for a while, they also said goodbye to each other. After all, the Swedish Translation Publishing House had to go back to prepare tomorrow's contract, and Kevin followed Geraf and Louis back to the Royal Poetry Publishing House.

"Kevin, you are amazing. I didn't expect "The Collection of All Beings" to go out of the foreign market so easily." After returning to the Royal Poetry Publishing House, Louis said to Kevin.

This work contains all the representative works of poetry of the great British writers on the earth, and the comprehensiveness of its market has long been expected by Kevin. Therefore, Kevin was just happy and not too surprised. It's just that although they sold 2 million pounds this time, according to their sharing contract. Kevin didn't get much.

Kevin also gained experience from this incident. When signing a new book with the publishing house in the future, the manuscript fee for foreign copyright must be divided into 50-50. otherwise. That is simply too sorry for myself, sorry for these classics on earth.

"Okay, Louis. You've already said countless compliments to me. Maybe we don't need to be so polite."

"Haha, is it? Oh my God, your talent has made me not stingy with any compliments." Louis said with a smile.

The signed version of the 1,000 copies has not been fully completed, so Kevin plans to use the little time left today to sign a few more copies. After drinking a few sips of tea with Louis and chatting for a while, he went to the room to sign seriously.

It wasn't until 6 o'clock in the evening that Kevin walked out of the Royal Poetry Publishing House. Louis was moved by Kevin's professionalism, so he stayed in the hall and waited for him. Invite him to dinner by the way.

Kevin had been busy for a long time, and after coming back to take a shower, he planned to go for a walk in the night market in London to relax. After all, after writing the book, he left more for himself to interact with readers on Twitter, and to attend this or that banquet.

Kevin walked slowly to the Prince Plaza outside the Prince Hotel. The squares in the UK are different from the squares in China. Although it is very lively at night, there are not many aunt square dances and the like, and the squares in the square There is relatively less garbage. The ground also looks cleaner.

"Hi! Mr. Kevin, what a coincidence, I met you here." At this time, a palm was patted on Kevin's shoulder.

Kevin heard the voice and turned to look. I found out that it was the old man from the Swedish Translation Publishing House who came to London this afternoon. This old man's name is Latis. Therefore, Kevin respectfully called him Mr. Latis.

"It turned out to be Mr. Latis. Nice to meet you here. This is really a beautiful accident." Kevin said with a smile.

"Haha, Mr. Kevin is so talented in speaking. Oh, since we met here, if you don't mind, let's sit down and have a midnight snack together." Latis said.

It is not the first time for Latis to come to London. He came to London for further studies when he was young. So he still has some vague memories of London. This time I took the opportunity of a business trip. He came to the Prince's Square alone for supper, and by the way recalled some memories of his advanced studies here.

"Of course. I happen to be a little hungry. So, as the host, I invite you to taste British food." Kevin said sincerely.

"Excellent. Thank you for the 'host' invitation." Latis said happily.

So, the two sat down in a late-night snack stall near Prince Square. Latis has read Kevin's "The Collection of All Beings" several times. As a publisher, he certainly knows the perfection of this collection of poems. So, he likes this work so much. It is precisely because he likes it that he decided to bring it to the Swedish market this time.

Latis has always been curious about how rich the inner thoughts of a person who can write such an excellent poem as "The Collection of All Beings". So, taking this opportunity, he also planned to have a good chat with Kevin.

"Mr. Kevin, I'm full of curiosity about you. Can you tell me that you have been exposed to poetry since you were a child, and you have written poetry since you were a child?" After ordering delicious food, Latis turned the curiosity in his heart into a question and threw it directly. to Kevin.

"No, no, respected Mr. Latis, if I told you that I was less than a year old when I wrote poetry, would you believe me?" Kevin shook his head immediately.

"What, it's been less than half a year since you wrote poetry? Of course you won't believe it. After all, your "Anthology of All Beings" is so excellent, you can't write it without a certain accumulation of talent." Latis said immediately.

"But that's true, my lord Mr. Latis, and I don't mean to lie to you. I've been writing poetry for less than a year. Of course, poetry has always been on my mind, and even if I don't write poetry, I've been They all have a poetic heart. This is why I write faster than ordinary people."

Kevin once again articulated his theory of "poetic mind". When he talked with David Lee last time, he mentioned this theory many times. This time, he also planned to use this "poetic heart" theory to fool the past.

This theory can amaze the famous poetry critic David Lidu, and so does Latis as a publisher. When he heard Kevin's "poetic heart" theory, he already deeply felt the difference of this young poet laureate. (to be continued)
