The sales model of online novels is not the same as the sales model of the electronic version of physical books, the former is calculated by subscribing to a chapter, and a few cents of a thousand words may not seem like much, but if a book is written for millions or tens of millions of words, it will cost hundreds of dollars.

Authors and readers are basically accustomed to this model of subscribing to a chapter after reading a chapter, if you don't want to read it in the middle, then abandon the book, and whether the later chapters are charged or not has nothing to do with the reader.

The pricing method of the whole book proposed by Yi Wen is relatively simple, it is finished as soon as it comes up, it is not a serialized novel, and if you want to read part of it, you will buy the whole book.

This new model may be unacceptable at once, after all, buying for a few cents is not the same as spending eight dollars at once, which probably requires a moment of serious thought.

Regarding the authorization later, Lin Han handed over the decision to Chen Jiaxuan, she knew the doorway inside, so the husband and wife were not tired of working together.

"Miss Chen, Mr. Lin, our usual sharing ratio is 55 percent, and any reward income is also this number, and the manuscript fee is settled once a month. The list of specific manuscript fees will be issued on the second day of each month, and the payment will be completed before the fifteenth, and the payment amount will be the total amount after tax, and the tax will be paid by our company. What do you think of this?"

This is the most conventional mode, Yi Wen put on his own attitude, he is now waiting for Chen Jiaxuan's reaction.

However, Chen Jiaxuan is not an easy target to be fooled, she has already learned more about the bends and turns before she meets, and a search of posts on the Internet can see the posts discussed on a certain forum.

Since he was invited, the initiative was in his own hands, so Chen Jiaxuan pursed her lips, shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, we can't accept this model." If it's a split model, we already have enough partners to work with, and there is no shortage of you. ”

Douban Reading and Amazon Kindle are places where you can pay to download e-books, and the origin must be given better treatment.

If the website does not recommend resources for Lin Han's novels, it may not attract much popularity, and the monthly manuscript fee is even better than putting it in the magazine to be serialized.

The feelings have already been mentioned, now it is the real interests, the businessman is profitable, and Lin Han has not yet departed from the low-level interest.

Yi Wen is obviously ready, and he was ready to be vetoed by the sharing model before, just to test it in passing.

"In addition to the share-sharing model, we also offer buyout services. The electronic rights to the entire book are in our hands, and no matter what our final sales are, it will not affect your income, and you will pay all the money in one go. ”

The buyout of the origin is divided, the price obtained by ordinary authors is low, and the conditions are harsh, it is a full copyright buyout, and all the copyrights are not in their own hands.

The buyout of some gods is very advantageous, the electronic buyout is wireless, the copyright is calculated separately, and the price is very high.

Now Lin Han is just transferring the copyright of the mobile phone reading, and the rest of the copyright will not be given to the origin, so the buyout price will be slightly lowered.

"The buyout was good, we paid everything at once, we didn't want to wait too long. What does the price say?"

"How about 1000 thousand words, this is the buyout price of the top god of our website, and you may not be able to get a contract of this level if you are set to break 10,000. ”

If this number is placed in front of the online authors, it will definitely cause an uproar, because they have a large number of words, and a book is millions of words, according to this calculation, it is a pure manuscript fee of several million yuan.

Ke Lin Han is a writer of physical books, and he has a maximum of 300,000 words for a book, even if it is 1,000 words per thousand, it is only 300,000 yuan when he gets it. The point is that he is not a person who has never seen the world, since he won the Hugo Award and his sales became popular, which magazine asked him for an appointment, and the price given was less than 3,000 words?

When he was still a newcomer, the number of the short story "Country Professor" submitted to "Science Fiction World" was 500 words per 1,000, and it took so long to become 1,000 words, so Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but change their faces.

Chen Jiaxuan took a deep breath, "I thought Mr. Yi came with sincerity, if that's the case, we don't need to talk about it." ”

Now let's not talk about Lin Han's novels, let's just say that his short science fiction novels are very expensive, and the magazine "The Most Science Fiction" even shouted 5,000 yuan for 1,000 words to ask for a manuscript, but Lin Han has not agreed.

In fact, the origin also has a premium author, not to mention anything else, just saying that the buyout price of the fat writer Lao Mao who wrote "Fake Big Hero" is 3000 per thousand words, shouldn't Lin Han's commercial value be at the same level as him?

After Yi Wen saw Chen Jiaxuan's strong side, he dispelled the idea of bargaining and directly gave his psychological price: "The biggest condition I can give is 3000 words per thousand, and now our company is very good, and the market share is the highest in the whole network." ”

"Yes, but the palm reading client in the back is biting tightly, not to mention that there are novel reading software under the big operators of mobile to catch up, and your first is not particularly stable. ”

Being led by others is not Chen Jiaxuan's style, these are the results of background investigations, Chen Jiaxuan regained the initiative: "Let's do a package sale, Lin Han's novels are based on each unit, one is 1 million, no matter whether the number of words is more or less, the short story is 100,000, so simple and clear." It's okay if you don't buy short stories, it's up to you. ”

Yi Wen sighed, since he invited Lin Han to join the origin at a high price, he didn't care about spending money on the short story, anyway, the wool came out of the sheep, and when the time came, he would recommend it a few more times to earn money from the readers.

A famous god can bring a lot of attention and traffic, for example, a certain Heng dug up a lot of gods in the past when he opened the station, and then brought the fans of the gods by the way, becoming the cornerstone of the development of the station.

Lin Han's readership is very large, and after they join the origin, they will definitely not only read Lin Han's novels, but also drive the sales of other science fiction novels and even published books.

"Then let's say so, we buy four books, "I, Robot", "The Martian", "Jurassic Park", "Three-Body Problem 1" and three short stories of "Country Teacher", "The Wandering Earth" and "Artificial Beauty", as for "The Last Earthling", we won't buy it, how about it?"

The pre-tax 4.3 million yuan was negotiated in this way, and Lin Han opened up a new reader channel, and the origin was taken to Lin Han to do publicity, and everyone took what they needed, which couldn't be better!

Now it is indeed more convenient to read science fiction novels, and you can see the Chinese version of these novels directly in the book city, which is very good. (To be continued.) )
