Chapter 92 Half Copyright

Fan Xingchen took two bites of porridge, glanced at Li Qi, and said with a smile: "Last month and week, I increased my capital by 300,000 yuan to Qdian.com. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"The other six shareholders also increased their capital?"

Fan Xingchen nodded, looked at Li Qi curiously, and asked, "How did you guess?"

"Didn't you just say that Shanda Network offered a price of 5 million to acquire Qdian.com, and you increased your capital by 300,000 yuan, if other shareholders did not increase their capital, then this share would be difficult to discuss. ”

"Clever!" Fan Xingchen praised with a smile, "The total capital increase of the six of them is 200,000 yuan, and the shareholding ratio of the seven shareholders remains unchanged." ”

"Isn't it true that a few people in Q Dian.com have made a profit, increasing their capital by 500,000 yuan, how to spend this money?"

"After the capital increase, the salaries of the six of them have increased, and they have also purchased the copyrights of some popular online novels, which is quite expensive. ”

"Buy the copyright, pay by the number of words?"

"Hmm!"

Li Qi glanced at Fan Xingchen a few times, and then asked, "What price?"

"A large part is to buy out half of the copyright at a price of 10 yuan per 1,000 words, and a small part is at a price of 20 yuan per 1,000 words. ”

"If a book that buys out half of the copyright is published, will your website be able to divide the money?"

"If you can divide the money, you can get half of the royalties. ”

"10 yuan per 1,000 words, even if you write 6,000 words a day, you can only earn 60 yuan a day, and you have to pay personal income tax. ”

"If you don't go out to work, it's not difficult to write 10,000 words a day by staying at home and writing online novels as a career. ”

"Writing 10,000 words a day is not difficult for some people, but it is very difficult to maintain this speed for a long time. Li Qi smiled and shook her head.

Fan Xingchen nodded with a smile, expressing his agreement with Li Qi's words.

"Who decides which book to buy for half of the copyright?"

"Every shareholder has the right to decide, and buying out half of the copyright of a book makes the company profitable, and the shareholder who is responsible for signing the book will be rewarded in the future. ”

Li Qi smiled slightly and asked curiously, "Have you decided to buy out the copyright of that book?"

"Yes. ”

"How many are there, are these books in the VIP?"

"There are more than a dozen copies, and most of them are VIP. ”

"How's the subscription getting results?"

"The highest is more than 2,000 and the lowest is more than 300. ”

"With more than 2,000 subscriptions, the subscription of the novel is so high, and the author gives half of the copyright, isn't it a big loss?"

"It's a bit of a loss. However, I've talked to these authors with high subscriptions, and the site will invest more resources in recommending his books, and the higher the subscription, the higher his income. ”

"I estimate that the higher the subscription, the more the writer who wrote the book feels that he is at a loss. ”

"It can't be said that if the website hadn't paid to buy out half of the copyright at the beginning, he probably wouldn't have put so much energy and thought into writing a novel, and now that the novel has achieved results, the website also has credit. ”

"Has this most subscribed novel been published?"

"We have already discussed with a publishing house in Taiwan about publishing, and it will be published in a short time. ”

"I have to give out half of the money again. Li Qi smiled, "Aren't you afraid that this writer will hastily end this book in order to make more money, and he is writing another book?"

"I've thought about it. ”

"Is there a response?"

"Yes, as long as the book is successfully written, and the next book is also signed with Qdian.com, whether it is an ordinary contract or half of the copyright, Q.com will pay the writer a bonus for the completion of the previous work. ”

"What's the bonus?"

"The specific amount of money has not yet been booked, and the subscription results will definitely be considered, as well as the tax of the physical book, so that the more money the website makes, the more correct the bonus will be given by the website. Also, when signing a contract for the next book, the results of the previous book will be taken into account. ”

Li Qi was full, put down his chopsticks, supported his chin with both hands, stared at Fan Xingchen with a smile, and said: "Will the writers who were successful before spend money to find someone to write in order to make more money, and use other people's works as their own works to talk about cooperation with Qdian.com?"

"Yes, definitely!" Fan Xingchen smiled and nodded, "I have talked about this topic with six shareholders before, in fact, except for a few particularly well-known online writers, the new works of other writers are generally regarded as good, even if it is a new work of well-known online writers, if the writing is too poor, Qdian.com will not spend too much money to buy half of the copyright." ”

"Up to 20 yuan per 1,000 words?"

"No, it's the price for the time being. Not long ago, there was an online writer writing a new book, a start, I read it, I think it was good, I talked to him, if nothing else, Q Dian.com will buy half of the copyright at a price of 50 yuan per 1,000 words, but it depends on the manuscript of 400,000 words. ”

"Fifty yuan per thousand words? As long as this book can be published as a physical book, the website can make money, right?"

"It can't be said that you can make money by publishing physical books, but also depends on the quality of the novel, if the sales of physical books are very low, there is not much manuscript fee. ”

"If this writer has saved a manuscript of 400,000 words, he won't send it to the editor of the publishing house first, and ask about the publication price first?"

"I should ask, but if the book is not particularly good, before uploading it to the website, it will be submitted to the publishing house, and the manuscript fee will not be particularly high. ”

"You're not very optimistic about this book. ”

"Hearing you say this, I'm a little afraid that this person doesn't want to give half of the copyright to Qdian.com. Fan Xingchen joked.

"And how are you going to solve this problem?"

"It's not a problem. Fan Xingchen picked up a plate and poured the rest of the dishes into his bowl.

After three or two clicks, Fan Xingchen ate all the vegetables and porridge in the bowl, and put down the chopsticks and bowl.

Li Qi stood up, began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and asked, "Why isn't it a problem?"

"I discovered this author, and when the first novel he wrote was updated with less than 10,000 words, I signed a contract with him and bought half of the copyright of the book for 20 yuan per 1,000 words. I have a good relationship with him, he wrote a new book, I made a verbal agreement with him, and I am sure he will not go back. ”

"Then why did you say you were a little scared just now?" Li Qi was puzzled.

"I'm kidding. ”

Li Qi glanced at Fan Xingchen with disgust, and asked again: "In the last book, I bought half of the copyright at a price of 20 yuan per thousand words, did I lose it, or did I make it?"

"Earned a little. ”

"Just made a little money, so why did he increase the price of his new book so much?"

"The new book is more sophisticated than the last. Fan Xingchen stood up with a smile, "You don't want to wash the dishes and chopsticks, I'll wash them." ”

"I didn't want to wash it. Li Qi picked up the dishes and chopsticks and walked to the bathroom.

"I went back to my bedroom to surf the internet. Fan Xingchen said this, turned around and went upstairs.
