Chapter 203: Negotiation and Ranking (3400 Monthly Ticket Additions)
Sun's newly registered QQ name is his new pen name - the salted fish of struggle.
Boarding this QQ number, in a bunch of prompt messages, he really saw a woman named "Peach" applying to add him as a friend.
In the verification information, she also remarked - "Hello, I am from the Yangtze River Hundred Flowers Publishing House, and I am looking for you if I have something"
"That's her!"
Yuan Shuiqing said on the side.
Sun Quan hummed and applied through the friend of this "peach".
His QQ number friend column is also absolutely amazing, the only three friends at present, all of them are women, one is the new editor-in-charge-Daiyu, one is Yuan Shuiqing next to him, and the other is the "peach" that has just passed the verification of his friends.
People who don't know him, if you only look at his QQ friend column, it is estimated that eighty percent will regard him as a scumbag who specializes in deceiving women's feelings.
How can this be the case in a normal person's QQ number?
"Hello, are you the author of The Rings of the Immortal Dragon?"
As soon as Sun Quangang passed the verification of "Peach's" friend, Peach sent him the above sentence.
"Well, yes, you're looking for me for?"
Sun Quan put his arm around Yuan Shuiqing's waist with one hand, and replied by typing with one hand, of course, the speed was a little slow, so Yuan Shuiqing frowned and said, "Can't you type with both hands? ”
Sun Quan laughed twice, but did not withdraw the hand that hugged her waist, "It doesn't matter! If she really came to me to talk about copyright, it would not be good for me to reply quickly at this time." ”
His explanation only added Yuan Shuiqing's doubts, "What kind of crooked reasoning are you?"
At this time, Peach's second message had already been sent, "Hello, I think your book has the value of publication, I want to ask if the simplified publishing rights of this book are still in your hands?"
Sun Quan was a little happy after reading this information.
While answering Yuan Shuiqing, one hand had already begun to type and reply to Peach.
"Look, she really asked me to talk about the copyright, and now she took the initiative to find me, so the initiative is in my hands, and if I reply too quickly, it will make her feel that I am eager to sign the copyright of this book to her, heh, do you think that in that case, when the price is negotiated, will it be beneficial to me?"
These words were addressed to Yuan Shuiqing.
The text he typed out with one hand was: "Well, yes, except for the electronic copyright signed to the starting point, and the traditional copyright signed to Taiguan Publishing House, the other copyrights are currently in my hands." ”
Yuan Shuiqing shook his head speechlessly, "You, you are too careful, right? Who did you learn from?"
Sun Quan turned his face to look at her, and replied with a smile: "I write, I like to think about everything, and if I think about it too much, I will naturally have some experience." ”
Yuan Shuiqing pouted, "You're purely bad!"
Peach: "So let's talk about simplified Chinese publishing now? Hehe, speaking of which, it's really not easy to find your contact information these days! We asked several online writers we know, but we didn't find your contact information, otherwise we would not be able to contact you if we suddenly saw the book fan group you announced today. ”
talked about talking about simplified publishing, but the woman changed her words and began to talk nonsense.
Sun Quan frowned, and for a while it was difficult to tell if this woman was purely because of talking, or because she deliberately diverted the topic, so he couldn't help but ask the price of publication first?
"You call the customer service number of the starting point, you should be able to get my contact information, right?"
He patiently accompanied her, whether she was intentional or unintentional, he would accompany her first.
Momoko: "We don't want to contact your website unless we have to, hehe, to be honest, under normal circumstances, if you let your website participate, in the end, we should give you a part of the remuneration to your website, right? ”
Sun Quan smiled and replied with a type: "Thank you then." ”
Momoko: "I'd like to ask, how much manuscript do you have for this new book now, and how long do you plan to write this book?"
......
You come and go, Sun Quan accompanied the woman named "Peach" to talk for more than half an hour, and finally finalized the matter of simplified publishing, of course, in this process, he did not always type with one hand, and when the other party entered the topic and negotiated conditions with him, he began to type with both hands to prove his innocence...... Uh, wrong, it's to improve the efficiency of communication.
To his surprise, the Yangtze River Hundred Flowers Publishing House, which this woman represents, is not interested in his "My Decathlon", but his recently published "Immortal Dragon Ring".
Then he suddenly realized that he was too stupid before.
When Yuan Shuiqing entered the door before, he asked him if he hadn't registered his new QQ account, saying that a woman claiming to be from the Yangtze River Hundred Flowers Publishing House was looking for him......
If he wasn't too stupid and took it for granted that people wanted to sign his "My Decathlon", then he should have thought that people should be interested in his new book "Immortal Dragon Ring".
Because people began to contact him after joining his fan group of "The Rings of the Immortal Dragon".
If people want to sign "My Decathlon", why do they find "The Rings of the Immortal Dragon"? Few people in the outside world now know that these two books were written by him.
Of course, this little misunderstanding is harmless, if you want to sign "The Rings of the Immortal Dragon", you can "The Rings of the Immortal Dragon"! Anyway, no matter which one you sign, he is welcome.
Selling the simplified copyright once, not only can you brush up the style, but also make more money, why not?
In the end, they agreed on the condition that 7% of the royalty would be used as Sun Quan's remuneration.
This is the most important condition, negotiate this article, and some other small conditions are very negotiable, such as after publication, how many sample books will the Yangtze River Baihua Publishing House give him in each episode?
For example, if necessary, Sun Quan has to cooperate with their publishing house to go to several major cities across the country to sign sales, and if they sign sales, the round-trip travel expenses will be reimbursed by their publishing house, and Sun Quan will have to pay for how many carriages and horses he has to pay and so on.
For Sun Quan, as long as the money is in place, everything is negotiable, after all, he wrote not to entertain himself, but to sell money.
......
"The Ring of the Immortal Dragon", which was strongly promoted by classification, performed more vigorously in the next week.
On Monday evening, it surpassed "Domineering", which had been pressing on its head last week, and so far, "Immortal Dragon Ring" has topped the list of new writers and new books in the fantasy category.
In the new book list of newcomers on the whole site, it also rushed to the third place.
On top of it, only Liuhui's "The Girl Next Door" and Disha's "Fake Hero" are left.
Yes, this week, it also appeared in the category of "The Girl Next Door", and various data also ushered in a significant increase.
The difference is: Sun Quan's "Immortal Dragon Ring" is on the classification of the fantasy channel, while "The Girl Next Door" is on the classification of the urban channel.
And these two channels are the most popular channels at the starting point.
"The Girl Next Door" was published about 10 days earlier than "Immortal Dragon Ring", but it appeared on the classification of their respective channels during the same period and became the most direct competitor.
Such a situation is never uncommon at the starting point.
Sometimes, a book that may have been published in a month will collide with a new book that was published a month later when it hits the shelves.
Sun Quan paid attention to the publication time of "Fake Hero" and knew that the book would be full moon in two or three days, and once it was full moon, it would mean that "Fake Hero" would automatically disappear from the list of newcomers and new books.
Therefore, "Fake Hero" was automatically ignored by him and did not treat it as an antagonist.
And the result?
He watches three times a day, whether he is unintentional or not, in fact, he is bullying the unhappy earth with updates, and on the morning of the full moon of "Fake Hero", he blew up "Fake Hero".
"Immortal Dragon Ring" rushed to the second place on the list of newcomers and new books.
"Fake Hero" disappeared from this list that afternoon because of the full moon, and no one knew if the full moon was approaching, but the shattered earth was depressed......
Liuhui's "The Girl Next Door" is very fierce.
His kind of angry writing is too pleasing to readers, and before him, there was no such sassy writing as him, and after him, there will probably be no more.
Defy?
Before him, did any author dare to describe his own male protagonist peeking at the female protagonist taking a bath?
Yes!
But it is a book with color, and the reader reads it with a critical spirit.
However, the protagonist described by Liuhui is loved by many readers, and it is a different realm.
In addition, "The Girl Next Door" was published earlier than "The Rings of the Immortal Dragon", so the total number of words is more, and it has accumulated a group of fans, and it is not easy for Sun Quan's "The Rings of the Immortal Dragon" to explode it.
Three chapters are updated every day, and they can't help him explode "The Girl Next Door".
Because Liuhui's hand speed is not slow during this period.
As a guy who usually likes water groups when he has nothing to do, Liuhui may have practiced superhuman hand speed when he was in water groups, Sun Quan updates three chapters of "Immortal Dragon Ring" every day, and he also updates three chapters, and he does not lose at all in speed.
In this regard, Sun Quan, who has a lot of manuscripts, occasionally has an impulse to kill "The Girl Next Door" with an update, but he doesn't believe that Liuhui also has so many manuscripts for him.
But reason always bothered him from doing so.
"The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" is still long before the full moon, he can't be impulsive, he can't be kicked out of the list of newcomers and new books before the full moon because the number of words exceeds 200,000.
Once he is really kicked out of the list in advance, even if he succeeds in exploding "The Girl Next Door", it will be more than worth the loss and the loss will be heavy.
Because of the period of "Immortal Dragon Ring", which does not have many words, it only has the ability to compete for the new book list, and once it is kicked out of the newcomer new book list in advance, the current "Immortal Dragon Ring" has no ability to compete for other lists of works on the whole site.
At that time, even if "Immortal Dragon Ring" still has a recommendation for it, its exposure will be greatly reduced, and the growth of various data will inevitably be much slower.
In this way, he watched Liuhui's "The Girl Next Door" suppress "Immortal Dragon Ring" for a week.
Not to mention how depressed I am.
