August 15th.

9 a.m.

William Chu called.

"Lonely City, congratulations, the book "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" you wrote is selling very well. ”

In the room, Lin Weidong was lying on the bed, enjoying Li Xiaojuan's massage, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhu, how much is it sold now?"

"In just over a month, 96,000 copies have been sold. William Zhu's tone sounded excited, "Although it can't be compared with a phenomenal writer like Han Han, your achievement is already one of the best among all online writers this year." ”

"If all goes well, in less than ten days, your book will sell more than 100,000 copies, and the publisher has already confirmed the third typesetting and printing. ”

Hearing William Zhu's words, Lin Weidong smiled with satisfaction: "I didn't expect the results to be so good, Mr. Zhu, thank you for your continued support, otherwise my book would never have achieved such results as it is now." ”

William Zhu smiled and said: "Lonely City, you guy is too modest, everything is your hard work, I just provide you with a platform to show your talent." ”

After a commercial blow, Lin Weidong said bluntly: "Mr. Zhu, let me tell you something, I will not cooperate with Banyan Shuxia in my next book, I hope you can understand." ”

William Zhu on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, but soon, he smiled and said, "It's okay to be alone, I can understand, Anne has already told me about this." ”

"In fact, I also understand that we can't rely on you alone to develop under the banyan tree, our website needs to continue to launch more influential online writers like you. ”

Lin Weidong said gratefully: "Mr. Zhu, thank you for your understanding, if you don't dislike it, I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”

"Well, the door under our banyan tree is always open for you, and I look forward to that day soon. ”

In fact, Lin Weidong is not optimistic about the development of Banyan Tree, because the current Internet does not have a complete means of payment, and Banyan Tree does not have its own publishing house, which is in a rather passive situation.

To a certain extent, Banyan Tree is too far ahead, but third-party payment platforms have not yet appeared, which seriously hinders the development of Banyan Tree.

If the time permits, as an online writer who loves writing, Lin Weidong is actually very eager to have the ability and capital to create his own literary website.

After chatting with William Zhu for a few words, Lin Weidong hung up the phone.

"Weidong, congratulations!" Li Xiaojuan had a smile between her eyebrows, "Although I don't know much, the writers who can sell 100,000 books should be very famous! ”

"Thank you. Lin Weidong turned over and nodded with a smile, "I didn't expect this book to sell so well." However, no matter how well this book sells, it has nothing to do with me. ”

Li Xiaojuan felt dazed, and looked at Lin Weidong in confusion: "Weidong, the book you wrote sells so well, how can it have nothing to do with you?"

Lin Weidong said honestly: "Because I have bought out the copyright of this book to a company in Shanghai. ”

Li Xiaojuan asked again: "Weidong, what does copyright buyout mean?"

Lin Weidong explained with a smile: "The buyout means that I sold the publishing rights of this book to others......" Halfway through the words, Lin Weidong felt that this statement seemed to be a bit unimpressive.

After thinking about it, Lin Weidong then said: "Let me tell you this, for example, I am a wholesaler, you are a small trader, and you take money to wholesale goods from me, then these goods I sell to you will no longer belong to me, how much money you sell, how much money you earn is your business." ”

In the same way, the copyright buyout also means this, in short, their company pays me, and I buy the copyright to them, and it has nothing to do with me whether I make money or lose money. ”

The reason why Lin Weidong said so much was also because he was worried that Li Xiaojuan had read less books and would not be able to understand what he meant.

"Oh. Li Xiaojuan nodded as if she didn't understand: "I understand." ”

"Isn't that great?" Li Xiaojuan smiled: "At least you don't have to take the risk, and you get the manuscript fee first." ”

"That's right. Lin Weidong nodded, looked at Li Xiaojuan, and said with a smile: "The advantage of copyright buyout is that you don't have to take the risk of sales." ”

Although Lin Weidong and Li Xiaojuan still feel excited and happy when they are together, she is a family woman after all, and she will inevitably be afraid of ghosts when she walks at night, so she can't stay by Lin Weidong's side all the time.

Sometimes Lin Weidong is busy for a few days and has no time to contact Li Xiaojuan, and then he will contact even less, sometimes he will only chat a few words in a hurry, and then he will do strenuous exercise in the room, and he doesn't know what to talk about after doing it, there are not too many topics.

Li Xiaojuan said that she understood very much, she told Lin Weidong that she was very satisfied with the sweet and happy time of these few months in her life, as long as Lin Weidong could often come back to see her in the future, and she liked to eat the dishes she cooked, and did not dislike her for being old, she would be very happy.

Since he has signed a contract with the People's Publishing House, Lin Weidong himself does not have much pressure and can devote himself more fully to creation.

However, this time he chose to cooperate with the People's Publishing House, and Lin Weidong also gave up stability to a certain extent and faced greater challenges and risks.

Therefore, "Eighteen-year-old Sky", Lin Weidong wrote it very carefully, after all, this is the first book he skipped under the banyan tree and cooperated directly with the publishing house, if he messes up, it is likely that he will have to ask the publishing house in the future.

And Li Xiaojuan basically stays at home every day because of her children's summer vacation, or supervises your children's studies, and almost never goes to Lin Weidong's rental house to find him.

As a result, Lin Weidong lived a regular life like a robot every day, writing, swimming, writing, and swimming again.

After more than a month of exercising in the swimming pool, Lin Weidong also tanned and looked like a Middle Easterner.

August 19, morning.

After more than two months of perseverance and hard work, Lin Weidong finally finished writing the 70 chapters of "Eighteen-year-old Sky".

"It's done!" Lin Weidong stretched his waist and couldn't help but sigh.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Weidong dialed Du Yuhang's phone number and informed Du Yuhang of the good news that the manuscript of the new book was completed.

Of course, Du Yuhang understood what Lin Weidong meant, and solemnly told him: "Gucheng, you send your bank account number to my mobile phone, and I will immediately ask the boss to transfer the money to you." ”

Lin Weidong smiled and nodded: "Okay, no problem."

After speaking, Lin Weidong took out his bank card, edited his account number and name in the draft box, and only after confirming that it was correct, did he send this message.

Soon, Lin Weidong received a message from Du Yuhang: "Received!"

In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Weidong's bank account had an additional deposit of 50,000 yuan.

ps. I would like to report to you the results of the first day on the shelves, as of now, there are a total of 4379 collections in this book, and the first order is 302, which is much better than I imagined, thank you for your support, really, you are not easy, thank you.

The only thing that makes people feel sad is that among the 4,379 readers who collected this book, there were 4,077 pirated readers......
