Chapter 394: Simplified

Before the second batch of physical books of "Diba" was put on the shelves, the calls of major publishing houses called the copyright department of Qihang.

After some brief communication, Hua Ya, the editor of the copyright department, contacted Zhao Qian and conveyed to him the conditions of each publishing house.

After listening to this, Zhao Qian replied: "Please Sister Hua Ya help me reply to them in a unified manner, just say that the minimum royalty is 15%, less than this number is not to be discussed, and at least 100,000 copies will be printed for the first time."

If we agree, we can continue the conversation. Of course, it's better if someone quits. ”

Previously, he had commissioned a lawyer to do an intellectual property valuation, which was just right now.

didn't sit on the ground to start the price, just sell according to the previous price, whoever wants to bid, whoever bids high will cooperate with whom, Tong Su is not bullied.

Hua Ya chuckled: "I'll help you reply to them, but I can't guarantee whether it will work out or not." ”

Qihang only acts as an intermediary to help convey opinions, and it is the author himself and the publisher who make the final decision. Now that Zhao Qian has made a request, it depends on whether the publishing house agrees or not.

However, Hua Ya thought that it was estimated that most of them agreed.

Although the 15% royalty is high, it is not unacceptable for publishers, and traditional best-selling authors even have 20% royalties.

The first printing of 100,000 copies seems to be a lot, and it is not a problem at all compared to "Emperor Ba".

The physical book of "Diba" can sell at least 500,000 copies, and even if the other books are almost there, 100,000 copies can always be sold, right?

100,000 copies can also earn a lot.

"They'll say yes, and I don't want to pay much. Zhao Qian said with a smile.

Now it is a seller's market, and the copyright in his hand is not worried about selling, and the major publishing houses are begging to buy his copyright. In this case, it is better to ask for a higher price, and would rather wait for the price to sell than sell the copyright cheaply.

For the capitalists, only interests are real, and everything else is fake.

A piece that can sell hundreds of thousands of copies, Zhao Qian doesn't believe that those guys are not impressed.

"Okay, then that's it for now, and I'll tell you when there's a reply. Hua Ya said.

And so at the same time.

"The editor-in-chief is not good, I heard that several other publishing houses have called the headquarters of Qihang, ready to buy the simplified copyright and comic copyright of the other works of half of the love letter. ”

The editor-in-chief of the Shonan People's Publishing House received a call from the employee below, and his face suddenly changed: "What? These bastards who can't afford to make a profit...... I got ......."

Although the Shonan People's Publishing House has cooperated with Qihang for a long time, it is not only his publishing house that cooperates with Qihang, but also several competitors.

Now that he has eaten the meat, several other companies will definitely have ideas, but they didn't expect them to act so quickly.

No, they can't be given a head start!

The editor-in-chief put down the phone and scolded a few words, and hurriedly called Qihang's side, praying that the half-paper love letter would not sell the copyrights of several other works so quickly.

……

Sure enough, as Zhao Qian expected, after he quoted 15% of the royalty, two large publishing houses used to deceiving customers, saying that they couldn't accept it and automatically withdrew.

The other four seemed to have negotiated privately and divided the simplified copyright of Zhao Qian's remaining four copies, with prices ranging from 15%~16%.

The comic copyrights of "Buddha is the Way" and "Very Pure and Ambiguous" were handed over to Xiangnan People's Publishing House and Huacheng People's Publishing House respectively at a royalty price of 16%.

The biggest winner this time is undoubtedly Zhao Qian, and the price is definitely the top in the industry.

Although you can't get too much royalty in the short term, it is definitely a wise choice in the long run!

The physical royalties of these works will bring Zhao Qian a lot of income in the next few years, just refer to Tang San, there are tens of millions of physical royalties every year.

Hua Ya also secretly spoke.

I have been in the industry for many years, and I have never seen any author whose copyright is sold, and it is all at a high price.

Those publishing houses are also cheap, and they don't pay back the price at such a high price, so they directly agreed, and they looked like they had earned it.

Let Hua Ya wonder if their brains are funny.

This guy really can't be looked at with common sense.

At this rate, surpassing Tang San is estimated to be a matter of time.

Zhao Qian did have such an idea in his heart.

In the starting male frequency, or the entire online literature industry, the first person in physical publishing is undoubtedly Tang San. Fifteen years of accumulation, fifteen years of pen cultivation, is not so easy to shake.

The key is that Zhao Qian started too late, and now he has passed the golden age of physical books, and if he wants to catch up, the difficulty has risen by many grades.

But it's the difficulty that makes it challenging.

For Zhao Qian, Tang San is a senior, a role model, and an opponent he hopes to surpass!

Beyond Tang San, he believed that he would definitely be able to!

Tang San was very well-informed, and soon learned that Zhao Qian had collectively sold the simplified copyright and comic copyright of many works, and the corner of his mouth smiled: "Hey, hey, the young man now, it's really amazing, if you give him another two or three years, maybe he can really surpass me." ”

Isn't it, this guy's path is much smoother than he was at the beginning, which is really enviable.

Then there was a long-lost pride.

I, Tang San, am not a vegetarian either! Since you want to fight, let's have a good time!

"Brothers and sisters of the Tang Sect, the time has come to need you!"

Facing the menacing Zhao Qian, he Tang San, the first evergreen tree in the online literature industry, is not afraid at all!

……

After waiting for three days, the second batch of physical books of "Diba" was listed again.

Shonan People's Publishing House regretted that its intestines were green, how much money did it have to make in the past three days?

However, it is not completely without benefits, after these three days of fermentation, the reputation of the physical book of "Diba" has been rising.

The second batch of physical books was put on the shelves, although the shelf was weaker than the first batch, but it quickly sold more than half, and I believe that by the end of the month, it will not be a problem to sell all 300,000 copies.

This is already the best achievement in the domestic physical network market in recent years.

Even if it is Tang San, the new book may not be able to sell so much, his data is all accumulated over the years.

Zhao Qian has achieved such proud results in physical books, not to mention how envious the friends in the group are.

There is an author @Zhao Qian: "The love letter boss quickly appeared, come to an accurate answer, how many copies of the physical book of "Diba" have been sold?"

Zhao Qian happened to be free, and when he saw it, he replied: "I don't know, it is conservatively estimated that 500,000 copies should be sold by the end of the month." There may be additional prints later, but not too much. ”

This is not a trade secret, but it is difficult for ordinary people to find out, so I will simply tell you generously.

The seemingly simple words have a huge impact on everyone.

"Kneel down for the big guy!"

"Kneel down to the big guy who sold 500,000 copies!"

"Kneel down to the 500,000 love letters that will be printed in the future!"

"What high-quality products are fake, I just ask, does the big guy still lack a little brother?"
