Chapter 239: Construction!
Tan Wen had heard about the second miss of the Li family a few times, and when Li Mengmeng on the side ran to Li Qiuxue alive and screamed for sister, Tang Wen already had the heart to die.
In the end, no matter Cheng Ran's persuasion or Li Mengmeng's pulling, he still couldn't save Tang Wen from having dinner at the villa at noon.
Li Qiuxue quickly "cooked" a hearty lunch at noon, Li Junshou did not come back at noon, and after the three of them finished eating at noon, Cheng Ran went back to the room and continued to think about the new computer he bought.
Li Mengmeng said, "I'm the same," she was going back to her room to do her homework.
Of course, when the two met in the game later, they tacitly didn't talk about each other's computers and how their homework was written.
........
Kyoto University.
Li Junshou looked at the fifteen-page title page message in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Is this a joke?
The whole fifteen pages are still densely packed, and this is almost not the so-called title page message, it can be written into a light novel.
Looking at the exaggerated words in this, although the whole article was written by more than a dozen old men, it never deviated from the topic, which fully reflected the writing skills of these literary tycoons.
In particular, several of the professors in the history department almost inserted the book directly into a certain part of history.
Exaggeration!
Li Junshou muttered and read the entire title page message.
In the entire history of China, it is not said that the title page of that book has more than a dozen pages.
Thinking of this, Li Junshou is a big head for a while, just so many pages of messages you don't want to change, what do readers think?
But do you want to change it?
None of these people are the authority of the big men in Chinese literature and history, and Li Junshou would not dare to do such a thing if he was too bold, because he would be scolded by someone in the back.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Junshou still had no good way, so he could only frown and rub his forehead.
"Why don't I write a page too?"
"It's already fifteen pages anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem to add my one page. ”
Once this idea appeared in his heart, Li Junshou couldn't contain it.
Is this what it feels like to be tempting?
Li Junshou, who was lying on the table and writing a message seriously, muttered, but the pen in his hand never stopped, and he began to write the message quickly.
It wasn't until he returned to the Li family's villa for dinner that Cheng Ran fell into deep thought as he looked at the thick seventeen-page message on the sofa.
Can this thing be called a message?
If the paper wasn't too big and the page was a little smaller, it would have been a book, okay?
Li Junshou faced Cheng Ran's gaze full of question marks, and Li Junshou could only honestly pretend to be stupid.
Don't look at me, don't look at me, I only wrote two pages, but they wrote a full fifteen pages!
Of course, he said in advance that Cheng Ran said that it was okay, brothers are brothers, if you delete your message, then you have to think about the consequences, little brother.
Li Qiuxue came over to take a look after "cooking", this more than a dozen pages of messages are not all bad, at least so many bigwigs wrote messages to Cheng Ran's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which invisibly shows how good this book is.
"Okay, don't change it, Cheng Ran, the author who is still alive, write a sentence to the reader, and when the time comes, let my aunt print out a hundred copies and I will give them away." ”
Looking at Cheng Ran's gaze that gradually accepted reality, Li Junshou nodded with satisfaction, and encouraged Cheng Ran to look at the book and ask him to write two sentences quickly, and then pay for him to print hundreds of collector's editions first, and then take it out for the New Year and give it away, and there will be a lot of money left.
Isn't it beautiful?
Cheng Ran sighed helplessly, it can only be like this, I hope it will not affect the reader's reading experience.
Cheng Ran found a pen and paper, thought about it for a long time when he put pen to paper, and simply wrote a sentence.
"Don't look at the Three Kingdoms, don't look at the Water Margin. ”
Li Qiuxue and Li Junshou on the side had bright eyes, this Water Margin is probably Cheng Ran's next book, but Cheng Ran didn't say it, and the brother and sister also tacitly didn't ask, so they were more confident when they talked about business with their aunt.
Originally, Li Mengmeng saw that Cheng Ran wanted to write two sentences when she wrote a message on the title page, but Li Junshou slapped off her little paws, and Li Junshou didn't have time to eat dinner that day, so he drove to his aunt's house and asked him to make these messages and Cheng Ran's manuscript into a book, and print 500 copies first.
Gong Xiaodong nodded and agreed, all the printing conditions for the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" have been prepared, just wait to negotiate the conditions, and start printing books in large quantities, according to Gong Xiaodong's estimate, the first batch of one million books will be printed within a week at the latest.
The number of books for a whole million was not set by Gong Xiaodong casually, but the result of her discussion with the Li family brothers and sisters.
To be honest, there is basically no printing house in these days, and one author can print one million copies of the book in the first issue.
Even many well-known authors don't necessarily sell a million copies of a book in a year.
But the total of the three of them may be less in this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
However, they will not officially start printing until the specific discussion of the distribution of benefits is completed.
Later, Gong Xiaodong simply took Li Junshou's car directly to the Li family's villa.
straightforwardly burst out of his heart.
"These books can be used by the old lady for no money, you Cheng Ran, but if there are other printing houses that want to print your books, the old lady charges a fee, you Cheng Ran has nothing to say, right?"
Cheng Ran can only be honest Yaoyao about this.
"As long as they nod their heads in the autumn snow, I have nothing to say. ”
Gong Xiaodong had no choice but to look at Li Qiuxue on the other side.
Li Qiuxue came down from the upstairs with a notebook very rigorously, and after careful study, she found that it didn't seem to be a loss.
Cheng Ran's book is that no matter which printing house prints it, he can earn half of it! At least half of it.
If you remove the cost of a book, you can earn ten yuan, at least five yuan for Cheng Ran, this is Li Qiuxue's bottom line for Gong Xiaodong.
But it doesn't mean that any printing house can print at will, and at this time it needs to be approved by the author.
And the author usually cedes the benefits of this piece to the printing house, so what Gong Xiaodong said about this matter is not too much, it belongs to the basic operation of the business field.
Then there's the issue of a book's share of sales.
If Gong Xiaodong can talk about the fact that the printing house opposite a book can make sixty percent of the profits, then one percent of the benefits Gong Xiaodong can monopolize it.
Cheng Ran roughly understood the whole process and nodded.
Although I don't understand anything, it must be right to see Li Qiuxue nod so seriously and honestly.
Seeing that Cheng Ran had no opinion, Li Qiuxue began to draft the contract.
Cheng Ran really admires Li Qiuxue.
Humanoid contract machine, anyway, it seems that Li Qiuxue can write any contract.
After Gong Xiaodong confirmed that there was no problem and nodded to Cheng Ran, the two sides signed a contract.
That night, dozens of printing factories under Gong Xiaodong began to rush to work!
