For ordinary people, it is indeed more appropriate to have a publishing house channel.

Without the channel of the publishing house, it will sell 2,000 books, and even if all of them are in their own pockets, they are actually not much. However, the same book, borrowed from the publisher's channel, may be able to sell 10,000 copies. Even if it is only 50% of the share, it is a lot more profitable than the previous method.

But the channel of the publishing house is not the only way.

Xu Qing's situation at this time, in fact, does not need the publicity of the publishing house.

The fans of "Tomb Robbery Notes" have generally paid attention to Xu Qing's Weibo. Xu Qing only needs to say on Weibo that the physical book of "Tomb Robbery Notes" has begun to go on sale, and without other publicity channels, he can almost notify most of the "Tomb Robbery Notes" fans.

If it is really necessary, Xu Qing can even consider taking the online store channel and directly bypassing the physical bookstore.

But whether it is an online channel or not, a publication number is still a must.

So after Sun Yaoshan gave the contact information, Xu Qing had actually contacted Sufeng Culture Publishing House.

Among the publishing houses in the Sufeng area, the Sufeng Culture Publishing House is a state-owned enterprise in the early years, and its ranking is higher.

As a result, as soon as people heard that Xu Qing wanted to take care of his own profits and losses, his attitude changed directly.

Manager Ji of the Culture Publishing House began to reason for Xu Qing. But Xu Qing has reached this level, that kind of situation is more suitable for him, Xu Qing knows it in his heart.

Then, seeing that he couldn't convince Xu Qing, Manager Ji directly quoted a high price for the publishing number.

In the publishing industry, in fact, they don't really want to sell only publication numbers, and only selling publication numbers is the least profitable way.

At the very least, it has to be the packaging of the publishing number and the printing contract, and the publishing house's own printing house can also make a little more profit.

Many people publish physical books, they are first out of a small part, look at the market response, according to the market situation, to know how the book is sold.

However, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" has become popular in the Sufeng area, and even began to become popular across the country.

Publishing "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is almost a sure thing, and Xu Qing has contacted it, but Manager Ji is ready to fill his pockets.

As a result, Xu Qing had to be responsible for his own profits and losses, and Manager Ji would not be able to make money.

By the end of the day, the attitude had become very bad. directly said, "Without the channels of our Sufeng Culture Publishing House, your book would not be able to sell in the Sufeng area at all." You say you're a man, why don't you know what's wrong?"

This is considered a threat, right?" Xu Qing frowned at that time.

Buying a publishing number and bundling a printing agreement, isn't your publishing house unprofitable?

Xu Qing knew that the physical book of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" would definitely sell well, and the printing contract alone was enough for the Culture Publishing House to make a profit.

In fact, even if it's self-financing. Xu Qing also had to use the channels of the publishing house to distribute the printed physical books to those physical bookstores.

At this step, the publisher is equivalent to the exclusive distributor, and it still has to make a lot of money.

Even if it's not as good as a sharing contract, it's already quite impressive.

As a result, people lost their temper because they didn't make more.

You know that this book can make money, and Xu Qing himself knows better than you. Why does Xu Qing have to share most of his income with you when he can make a lot of money? Are you Xu Qing's grandson? Xu Qing is used to your problem?

Xu Qing was too lazy to waste time with this kind of person, so he turned around and left.

When Xu Qing turned around and left, Manager Ji became anxious.

However, Xu Qing is really in no mood to waste time with this kind of person.

After that, Xu Qingcai contacted the Ethereal Publishing House.

Xu Qing knows that these managers generally have commissions. The more money you make from Xu Qing, the higher the commission of the publisher manager in charge of contact.

Manager Ji was a little embarrassed because he didn't make too much money. You want to make money, Xu Qing can understand it. But who is used to your problem, others do not lose their own interests, according to your most profitable way, you will directly throw your face.

Are you the king of heaven?!

After coming out of the Culture Publishing House, Xu Qing was a little unhappy. Fortunately, Zhao Yaqin of the Ethereal Publishing House is not so strange.

As soon as the conversation with Xu Qing began, Zhao Yaqin first passed the situation of "Road Song" and got closer to Xu Qingqing.

The smile is elegant, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.

Xu Qing proposed to be self-financed, Zhao Yaqin knew that in this case, her commission would be less, but she respected Xu Qing's decision very much.

The contract for "Notes on Tomb Robbery" was negotiated, and the two turned around and began to discuss the situation of "Road Song".

Zhao Yaqin thought about it for a while: "Qing Shao, what do you think of five thousand yuan?"

Xu Qing looked at Zhao Yaqin, and after a pause, he still nodded.

The form of poetry, in recent years, has actually declined. Among the literary and artistic youth group, poetry still has a certain market. There are also those young people who will also buy a book or two of poetry books and put them on the shelves.

Look at it or not, don't talk about it, pretend to be a B first.

But at the end of the day, you can't make a lot of money just by writing poetry.

The best-selling poetry collection in the current poetry industry is "You Are the April Day on Earth", which has sold more than one million copies in four years.

And in fact, other poetry collections, even if they are better, are far less popular than this one.

"Road Song" is very good, but it is difficult to guarantee the level of other poems in the selection of poems. Sales, again, it's hard to say.

In general, other publishing houses still have to make money.

For an average poetry writer, it is already quite good to be able to mix a manuscript fee of 200 words per 1,000 words. The rules of the industry, twenty lines of poetry, can be counted according to a thousand words.

In other words, publishing poetry in those ordinary magazines, if you can get a price of 200 words per 1,000 words, it is already a pretty good situation. Most people's poems are not adopted.

Xu Qing's "Road Song" is also twenty lines, which is counted as one thousand words. That's the price of 5,000 words.

This is already far beyond the usual situation, give you a month, you write a poem at the level of "Road Song" to show me?

But in fact, what can 5,000 yuan do? To be honest, it just means, and the Ethereal Publishing House was not opened by Zhao Yaqin herself after all, no matter how good she feels about Xu Qing, 5,000 yuan is already the highest price. It really couldn't be higher.

Zhao Yaqin gave such a price, if it was someone else, maybe he would have to consider it and raise the price.

But after Xu Qing paused, he still nodded directly. Such a price actually makes it difficult for Zhao Yaqin to do, which Xu Qing knows very well. The prices of the other poems in the poetry anthology are definitely far less high.
