Chapter 90: Reference Books Sell Best
The health prescription no longer does analytical experiments, but directly does patent paper experiments in one step. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
And this experiment needs to use something different from before, so before entering the experimental stage, bangs need to add a batch of equipment.
Experimental equipment is generally expensive, Liu Hai made a list and asked Liang Bo to check the quotation, a total of more than 8,000 gold coins were needed, and these more than 8,000 gold coins were spent, and Liu Hai only had less than 12,000 gold coins left in his account.
The laboratory is also costly, and the consumption of various commonly used reagent test strips, as well as the consumption of raw materials, all cost money.
Just when Liu Hai arrived and gradually became nervous, the publishing house that published the "Secret Library of the Sea of Questions" came with a good news, this set of reference books published by Liu Hai sold very well, and it was popular among the major middle schools in Xinbao Township as soon as it came out.
In less than a month after it was launched, the first 200,000 sets were sold out!
When someone from the publishing house contacted Liu Hai, in addition to settling the royalties with him, it was important to discuss the matter of the second edition.
Liu Hai is now a beginner scholar, so it is still Gu Youfeng, the president of the publishing house, who comes to talk to Liu Hai.
The place to talk about things was at Liu Hai's house, and after Gu Youfeng arrived, he first took out an anonymous gold card: "Liu Xue, this is your first version of the royalty share, please accept it." ”
Liu Hai took a 30% royalty share, and the first edition printed a total of 200,000 sets, a set of four volumes, priced at 20 silver coins each time, so Liu Hai's share should be a total of 48,000 gold coins.
Liu Hai took the gold card and smiled, with this money, he immediately had plenty of money, and he could do his own studies with peace of mind.
Seeing Liu Hai accept the gold card, Gu Youfeng also said excitedly: "Liu Xue, your set of "Question Sea Secret Library" is extremely popular, and there are still great market prospects to be dug up, we plan to print the second edition immediately, this time we are ready to print 2 million sets directly, not only in Xinbao Township, but also out of Xinbao Township, to the entire Shaohai City. ”
Bangs was a little surprised: "It's ten times all at once, what should I do if I can't sell it?"
Gu Youfeng smiled calmly: "Liu Xue, we have confidence in the "Secret Library of the Sea of Questions", if Liu Xue, you feel that the previous contract conditions are not suitable, we can modify it, but the second edition of 2 million copies is the next plan of our publishing house." ”
The identity of Liu Hai as a middle school student and scholar is the best selling point of this set of reference materials, plus the quality of the reference books themselves is also very high, and the market feedback is too good.
This is not a figure that Gu Youfeng patted his head and came up with casually, but the final result of their publishing house after continuous market research and research.
Originally, it was a good thing that the publisher was so confident in his book, and Liu Hai was very happy about it, but if two million copies were printed at once, it would be impossible to sell them out in a short time, which was unrealistic, so it was not appropriate to copy the previous contract.
The previous contract was for Liu Hai to receive 30 percent of the after-sales royalties, that is, Liu Hai could not get the money until all the books were sold from the publishing house.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Hai said directly: "It's no problem to print two million sets of the second edition, I still take 30% of the royalties after the sale, but I ask you to pay in stages, referring to the previous experience, you see if this will work, based on 200,000 sets, for every 200,000 sets sold, you will settle it for me once, so that it will be settled in ten installments." ”
Liu Hai's request was not too much, Gu Youfeng just thought about it a little and happily agreed.
The next step was to sign a second publishing contract.
With enough cash, Liu Hai can continue to do experiments and write papers with peace of mind, but until then, he still has to write experimental designs.
In this gap, Liu Hai also took time to go to the academy to take a preliminary exam.
After the exam, Liu Hai asked Li Changge for leave again and immersed himself in his small laboratory.
Once you work hard, time always flies quickly, and halfway through the completion of Du Liuhai's experiments and papers, a feedback letter from Gulan was sent to Xinbao Township.
When the postman delivers the general letter, it is directly placed in the mailbox at the door, but this letter is from Gulanzhou, which is one of the nine Shenzhou, so the postman who sent the letter attaches great importance to it and personally hands it over to Liu Hai, and then asks Liu Hai to sign the handwriting received on a form before leaving with peace of mind.
When the postman left, he kept looking at his bangs, he had been delivering letters for more than ten years, and it was the first time he had delivered a letter from China.
Liu Hai closed the door with the letter, looked down at the envelope, and the sender's address was the address of "Application and Development of Toxicological Drugs", and the letter could be determined to be a feedback letter.
This made Liu Hai suddenly feel a little apprehensive in his heart.
Completely different from the previous petty fights, "Toxicological Drug Application and Development" is a well-held academic journal in the entire empire, as the fourth empire-level academic journal, his academic influence index exceeds 50, as high as 51.66!
This is higher than the academic impact index of any academic journal in Yangzhou.
In the entire Yangzhou, there is no academic journal with an academic influence index of more than 50, that is to say, there is no fourth empire-level academic journal in Yangzhou.
Not only is there no Yangzhou, but the rest of the 265 lower states are also not, and the worst of this grade of academic journals is also in Zhongzhou!
When I opened the envelope, my bangs were really nervous, although I was confident in my paper, but no matter how confident I was, it was also your own confidence, and it had nothing to do with the review judges of the academic journal, if the review judges couldn't look at your paper, it would be useless for you to be confident.
""Application and Development of Toxicological Drugs" is the fourth empire-level academic journal in China, and although the level of my paper is high, the content is mainly the research of low-grade drugs and middle-grade drugs, and the content of the elixir involved is very small, and there are congenital disadvantages, if people don't let me pass, it will be completely said that the past is ......."
Before the envelope was fully opened, Liu Hai began to comfort himself and cheered himself up: "Anyway, for myself at present, whether it is this paper or the patent paper on health medicine prescriptions that I am currently writing, I can only be regarded as my own practice, and I have a heritage bead, even if I want to write a paper on "Academic" and "Scholar", it is not difficult...... The most important thing is to keep a normal heart, if it is rejected this time, then I will find another journal to try, it really can't work, find the fifth school journal in Yangzhou to try......"
The envelope was finally torn open, Liu Hai took a breath, pulled out a stack of not thin and thick letter paper inside, and looked intently, only to see the opening of the top letter written: "Liu Hai Scholar ......"
