Soon after "The Story of Zuozuo" was put on the shelves, bookstores sold out one after another, and the replenishment calls from suppliers around the country had already blown up the landline of the publishing department of China Literature.

Qiu Xiaobai had to transfer a few people from other departments to support......

Inside the editor-in-chief's office.

Hu Shuo has just signed an agreement to reprint, and the calculation of the author's income in the physical publication is more troublesome than that of the electronic version.

Under normal circumstances, the formula is: book price * number of copies printed * royalty rate.

The official price of Hu Shuo's "The Story of Zuozuo" is 29.8 yuan, with a first printing of 300,000 copies and an additional printing of 1 million copies.

The royalty rate is floating, and the normal range in this time and space is between 5% and 15%, and for new authors, it is generally 5%, which is the lowest value, but after all, Hu Shuo's works are popular on the Internet, and the physical book that came out has a certain popularity base, so the royalty rate negotiated when the contract was signed was 10%, between the lowest and the highest value.

In this way, so far, the income of Hu Shuo's entity can be roughly calculated.

29.8*1,300,000*10%.

Theoretically, Hu Shuo can earn 3,874,000, but after deducting personal income tax and necessary losses, it should be about three million.

In other words, Hu Shuo has already earned three million in half a day, so his mood is naturally very good.

"Mr. Qiu, if it's okay, I'll go first. ”

After drinking the tea poured by Qiu Xiaobai in front of him, Hu Shuo was about to get up and leave.

"What's the hurry, it's lunch time soon, how about having a meal together?" Qiu Xiaobai glanced at the alarm clock on the desk and said.

"Let's do it another day, there is still some work to be done. Hu Shuo shrugged his shoulders lightly and said with a regretful expression.

"Okay, then please ......"

Qiu Xiaobai pursed her lips, and from her tone, she seemed to have some emotions.

Because, in Qiu Xiaobai's memory, this is the second time Hu Shuo has refused her invitation to dinner, the first time Hu Shuo's reason was to pick up the child from school, if the reason for that time is barely acceptable, this time this reason is very perfunctory, doesn't work need to eat?

"Goodbye. ”

Hu Shuo didn't care what emotions the other party had, he waved away directly, not taking a cloud with him.

And looking at the back of Hu Shuo's departure, Qiu Xiaobai gritted his teeth angrily, and complained silently in his heart, what is a married old man dragging!

Knock, knock......

Not long after Hu Shuo left the office, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter. ”

Qiu Xiaobai replied in a stiff tone, and his emotions had not yet been withdrawn from Hu Shuo's "departure".

The door opened.

A woman with sleek short hair walked in.

"Hey, who provoked our President Qiu?"

This woman is Cao Ying, Qiu Xiaobai's right-hand man and her good friend.

"No one. ”

Qiu Xiaobai took a deep breath and handed the contract signed by Hu Shuo to Cao Ying: "After the printing agreement is signed, you can go to the printing house in the afternoon and sign the contract with them." ”

"Hmm. ”

Cao Ying nodded, but there was confusion in her eyes: "I feel that your mood is not high, it won't be that Hu Zuozuo who provoked you." ”

"He's a megalomaniac!

As soon as Hu Shuo was mentioned, the anger in Qiu Xiaobai's heart suddenly couldn't be suppressed, and he said angrily.

"Really......"

Cao Ying smiled and sat on the sofa: "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"

"He won't eat with me!" Qiu Xiaobai said.

"That's it?" Cao Ying looked confused.

"The second time. Qiu Xiaobai said.

"Uh......"

Cao Ying frowned, stared at Qiu Xiaobai's face for a long time, and said, "Xiaobai, you won't be thinking about someone else's husband!"

"Phew!"

"What do you say?"

"Will I take a fancy to him?" Qiu Xiaobai snorted coldly with disdain: "I just hate his self-righteous appearance, what a good day today, I just want to have a meal to celebrate, but he doesn't give face at all!"

"The old lady is as beautiful as a flower, and the man who wants to eat with me can circle the stadium downstairs three times hand in hand......"

"Yes, yes, you're right, so don't be angry. ”

Cao Ying smiled and said, "By the way, you really don't have to be angry with him, no, someone on the Internet is already helping you scare him!"

"Huh?"

Qiu Xiaobai was slightly stunned: "Did you sleep with you every day?"

"Sort of. ”

Cao Ying nodded, changed her serious face, and said: ""The Story of Zuo Zuo" is selling too hot, and it rushed to the top of the publication sales list within half an hour of being on the shelves, half an hour ago, when Huaxia Original Network updated the list, "The Story of Zuo Zuo" has sold 264381 copies, which means that the first printing of 300,000 copies will be sold out soon!"

"And the latest collection of stories by the god-level writer Xiao Yu "The Story of Yu Xiaoyu" is only ranked thirteenth on the publication sales list, with a sales volume of 18,760 copies, not even a fraction of the sales of "The Story of Zuozuo", so they are naturally in ......a hurry."

Huaxia Originals is not only a website that can register original copyrights, but also a big data center as a government-run website, publishing various authoritative lists.

The publication sales list is one of the lists, and it is also the list with the highest gold content in the physical publishing industry.

"Did they find a navy?" asked Qiu Xiaobai.

"It should be. Cao Ying nodded and said: "There are only five physical books of children's literature on the shelves today, and the other three are all new works by newcomers, and there is no splash at all, and Xiaoyu's new book sales are directly crushed by "The Story of Zuozuo", if you don't take some action every day, it will be abnormal." ”

At this time, Qiu Xiaobai had already opened Weibo and searched for the #Zuozuo's story# topic, and sure enough, a large number of obviously rhythmic bad reviews popped up in a short period of time.

Moreover, the division of labor of these bad reviews is clear, some of them are critical and refuted by the content of "Zuozuo's Story", and the other part is directly pointing the finger at "Hu Zuozuo" himself.

Bao Ma Xiaoqi: I bought a copy of "The Story of Zuozuo" in the bookstore, and I was originally going to tell the story in it to the baby, but after reading a few stories in it, I really want to return the book, these stories are not suitable for children at all!

I love saury: The story of "Cinderella" is simply too, this is obviously to teach bad children, I'm really afraid that my daughter will wait stupidly for the prince to come after reading this story?

Little Princess's Candy: Hu Zuozuo's book by this kind of author is actually bought?Okay, then I'll talk about his character, this guy is an ungrateful and shameless person, "Snow White", "Cinderella" and other stories were originally first published on the Sleep with You Story Network every day, and then, after the website made him popular, he jumped ship directly, this kind of person's book, even if it is given away for nothing, I don't want it!!

After looking at the Weibo with the highest likes, Qiu Xiaobai has basically seen the other party's strategy, when such a large-scale mercenary water army smears a person or work, the water army team will come up with several sets of rhetoric, and often the one with the most likes and the most conspicuous place is their main direction of attack.
