"As for the royalties, what do you think is appropriate?"
Qiu Guo smiled brightly and looked at Leiyin with a wise and cunning light in his eyes.
His bottom line is six hundred yuan per thousand words. If the other party asks for too much, he is prepared to prevaricate it first.
Then find a circle of well-known translators to inquire, and then decide based on the cost-effectiveness of both parties.
When Leiyin heard the question, she didn't hesitate at all. She looked directly at Xu Fei and said, "Fei, you decide..."
Xu Fei nodded to her and said the lines he had prepared long ago: "Mr. Qiu, the fee is easy to negotiate. We are our own people and you can't cheat me. Can you just make an offer?"
He threw the question back and searched online for a long time before coming here. The information he obtained was a bit confusing.
The cheaper ones cost 50 yuan per thousand words, the ordinary ones cost 100 yuan per thousand words, and the more expensive ones have no cap, which is a bit confusing.
But one thing is certain. Normally, an old man who does well in the translation industry can get a price of 200 to 300 words per thousand words. Manuscripts with higher quality requirements can even be priced at 500 per 1000 words.
Qiu Guoyao's plot translation obviously has high quality requirements. Combined with Leiyin's level, the newcomer debuff points will be deducted.
Xu Fei came to the conclusion that the price of one thousand words would be about two hundred, but after all, it was his first time to take on a part-time job, so he couldn't accept the price of one hundred and fifty yuan per thousand words.
Since he didn't know what Qiu Guo's bottom line was, he wanted to see what the other party said first.
"Okay, then I won't be pretentious. Let's work together for the first time on Two Hundred and Four Thousand Words. Let's make friends." Qiu Guo tried with a smile.
This sentence is actually a pun, 'making friends' is equivalent to 'giving face', but he did not say who gave face to whom.
Xu Fei was stunned, thinking that Mr. Qiu was quite generous with the price being so high. Could it be that he was really giving face to the old employees?
The smile on his lips was about to burst out, but in the next moment, he suppressed it forcefully.
No, this old fox businessman is not that easy to talk to, especially when it comes to money... I was almost fooled, it must be that Leiyin's level is worth the money.
Xu Fei said: "Mr. Qiu, you also know Leiyin's level, and she can provide translations in five foreign languages by herself, which can save the company a lot of communication costs. Do you want to increase the price? Three hundred and fifty How about it?"
"Three hundred and fifty is a bit over budget. It's difficult for the finance department to pass it..."
Qiu Guo also showed an embarrassed expression and said, "Okay, Xiao Fei, if your friend is willing to sign a long-term outsourcing contract with our company, I will make the decision without permission."
Xu Fei's expression didn't change, but he was thinking in his heart, the company belongs to you, sir, how can the financial approval be passed? Don't you just want to tie people up?
Signing a long-term contract means that Leiyin must prioritize the needs of this company when receiving outsourcing in the future.
But in contrast, the company also pays her a small fixed income every month, and can take out insurance on her behalf if necessary.
Xu Fei didn't have any objections to this. It was a win-win situation for now, but it was a pity that the little girl didn't have an ID card... This kind of contract must be signed by herself.
"Brother Qiu, of course a long-term contract is good for everyone, but my girlfriend's foreigner work permit hasn't been applied for yet. She can't sign it, otherwise I wouldn't be needed as an agent." Xu Fei pretended to regret.
Qiu Guo said regretfully, "Then let's calculate it as three hundred first, sign a long-term contract later, and then increase it to three hundred and five. How about that?"
"It's a deal, thank you Mr. Qiu."
The two foxes, one big and one small, were both satisfied and happily shook hands again.
Especially Qiu Guo, she was very happy because she saved a lot of money this time.
Alas, young people, old age is still hot, and back wave is still not enough.
Leiyin tilted her head and looked at the two people's micro-expressions in confusion, wondering how they could communicate with lies from beginning to end.
At noon, everyone came to the hotel next door.
Boss Qiu stood on the stage with a microphone in hand and began to give a passionate speech.
He first promised many practical rewards from the company next year, and then greeted them with various chicken soup and flatbreads.
They even used local materials and directly used Xu Fei as an example.
It probably means that the company does not forget the elderly. Even after leaving the company, it will give priority to investing in suitable projects. I hope everyone can learn from Xu Fei and work hard, etc. This has greatly increased the favorability of employees.
But as the person involved, Xu Fei was almost overcome with embarrassment and thought, is the struggle you are talking about really me? Don't they have the same name?
At this time, I finally understood that since he was not an important person, why did Boss Qiu insist on arranging for him and Leiyin to sit at the main table with the senior executives?
It turns out that the trap is here. Sit in a prominent position so that people can watch Boss Qiu’s speech. He can be a mascot for his ambitions...
But that wasn't the end yet. Boss Qiu saw that the incentive effect was good and started to talk about Leiyin again.
"Single young men, cheer up, Xu Fei just kidnapped such a beautiful foreign wife after he set up his own project."
The audience suddenly burst into boos.
"And she is a talented woman who is proficient in seven foreign languages. Today's team building is actually incidental. Everyone welcomes his girlfriend, Ms. Leiyin Lilia, to become our company's specially invited external translator."
Snap, snap, snap, snap.
Applause rang out, and everyone looked at the beautiful girl next to Xu Fei in surprise. They didn't expect that she was not only beautiful but also so talented. It was so sour.
"The company encourages the introduction of talents, not just the current employees of the company. As long as you successfully introduce an employee to join the company, you will be rewarded with a bonus of at least 3,000 yuan! So everyone, hurry up and get involved in the circle of friends. Of course, I don't care if you share the money privately, haha."
Hehe, Xu Fei raised his head, does that mean that it counts if I introduce Lei Yin? It’s not bad, it’s just the performance fee.
She didn't watch Qiu Guo's speech or pay attention to the whispers of people around her. Leiyin was concentrating on using her chopsticks to taste the various appetizers on the table.
At first, she was a little interested when it came to having a group meal.
But after entering the hotel, I lost interest.
In essence, it seemed to be no different from the boring dinner parties she attended in the palace, except for these delicious dishes.
Xu Fei looked at her concentrating on tasting, smiled slightly, turned the glass countertop, and helped her pick up two more pieces of soy sauce beef and cold chicken.
"I used to think that Xiao Fei had low emotional intelligence, but it turns out he is also a doting wife, haha." R&D director Wang Xiang said with a smile.
He was very happy today. He was the one who brought Xu Fei up single-handedly and took good care of this kid during his tenure.
This time the company invested in Xu Fei and specially hired his girlfriend as a translator, and he also grew taller.
And if this kid's project becomes profitable in the future and he is willing to transplant it to various platforms, it will be convenient for him to follow suit.
"Brother Wang, didn't I learn this from you? Have you forgotten that last year, your sister-in-law called and said she had a fever, and you didn't care when the server was down, so you asked for leave on the spot and ran away?" Xu Fei joked.
Wang Xiang's face turned red, and he laughed and cursed: "Hey, the brat is not under my control now, so he dares to raise a flag, haha."
Lao Cui, the deputy manager of the technical department, also joked: "Lao Wang, let me tell you, this kid is getting fatter now."
"Boss Qiu attaches great importance to his project. I didn't see that I had just broken the stone. In order to sign a contract for his girlfriend, he called me over to be a tester."
"There's nothing wrong with Gravel. Who doesn't know that you're pretending to be your grandson and taking a vacation?" the overseas operations director said directly.
"Hahaha."
Just when the atmosphere at the table started to get lively.
Liu Laiming's face clearly showed an unnatural look.
No one wants to sit at the same table as his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend. The more he looked at Xu Fei, the more he disliked her.
As for Xu Fei's girlfriend... the more she looked at her, the more amazing she became. He liked women who were both talented and beautiful.
With a sarcastic smile, Liu Laiming stood up, walked directly to Leiyin's seat, and said with a smile:
"Hello, Miss Leiyin, I am Liu Laiming, the domestic operations director of Guoker Network. Can I get to know you?"
