Chapter Seventy-Six: The Sky-high Price of "Zhu Xian"
After a period of consideration, Xiao Ding, who wanted to buy a new house and was short of money, negotiated with Haoshu.com about the transfer of the copyright of "Zhu Xian", last night, Liu Jianping was busy revising the novel, Xiao Ding couldn't contact Liu Jianping on the Internet, and instead contacted Zhu Fengnian, so that the other party could convey his thoughts to Liu Jianping. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"He thinks your bid is too low, and if you are willing to buy out half of the copyright at a price of 150 yuan per thousand words, except for the copyright of the traditional physical book, he will agree to sign a contract with you."
"150 yuan per thousand words, this price is not expensive, you can sign a contract with him, hehe, it's not me who signed a contract with him, it's our joint venture company Shengfeng Company that signed a contract with him."
"Do you think you can make money by buying half of the copyright at such a high price?"
"Of course." Liu Jianping smiled and glanced at Zhu Fengnian a few times, "Don't you think that the book "Zhu Xian" is very likely to become a best-selling novel?" ”
"Before it is published, no one can say." Wang Yaoshen interjected, "I've heard that many popular novels on the Internet, before they were published, many readers said that they would buy physical books to support them, but after they were published, those who promised to buy books disappeared." ”
"I think about the same as Yaoshen." Zhu Fengnian smiled.
"Just trust me, this investment will definitely make money, and you can make a good profit." Liu Jianping said in an affirmative tone.
"Since you said so, I'll support you." Zhu Fengnian smiled and said, "Fortunately, Xiao Ding's writing speed is not fast, if his speed can catch up with you, it won't take much time, plus the funds in your personal account, it won't be enough to send the manuscript to Xiao Ding." ”
"What is the percentage of copyright taxes on popular novels now?" Wang Yaoshen asked.
"New writers, even if they are very popular on the Internet, the proportion of copyright taxes can reach 10 percent, which is very high." Liu Jianping replied.
"A book of 25 characters, the price is 25 yuan, sell a copy, the author can get 2.5 yuan of copyright tax, sell 20,000 copies, that is, 50,000 yuan, equivalent to 200 yuan per thousand words...... Like, it's quite funny. Wang Yaoshen said with a smile.
"Do you think 20,000 copies are a small sale?" Zhu Fengnian rolled his eyes and said, "If it really only sells 20,000 copies, the royalty ratio cannot be so high, and Xiao Ding proposed that after "Zhu Xian" is signed and put on the shelves, the VIP chapter subscription is less than 2000 parts, and the website will enjoy exclusive subscription income, and the subscription income of more than part will be divided between him and the website. ”
"That's fine." Liu Jianping said with a smile.
Zhu Fengnian glanced at Liu Jianping a few times and asked, "Jianping, are you too optimistic about the book "Zhu Xian"?" ”
"I'm quite optimistic about the sales of "Zhu Xian", but I don't feel that I am too optimistic about this book. It won't be long before you'll admire my vision. ”
"I've always admired your vision." Zhu Fengnian smiled, "Since you have decided, then listen to you, I hope that buying half of the copyright of "Zhu Xian" this time will allow our company to obtain a good income." ”
After the three of them had breakfast, they did not stand up immediately, but continued to sit in the restaurant and chat.
Liu Jianping said: "Wait a while, I am going to upload two new books. ”
"Two new books?" Wang Yaoshen looked at Liu Jianping in surprise, "You are a fairy?" Seven of your novels are now in series! ”
"Huh!" Liu Jianping smiled, ""Langya Bang", as well as the new book "The Days I Live with a Flight Attendant" to be uploaded, the update speed is not fast, and it can only be regarded as half a book. There is also "The King of Yaya" has long been written, and now the manuscript is updated and saved, which cannot be counted, and the update speed of several other books is not very fast. ”
"You cow!" Wang Yaoshen smiled and sighed, "Updating 10,000 words a day is already the limit for the vast majority of online writers." ”
Liu Jianping smiled: "Then you will treat me as an immortal." ”
Zhu Fengnian smiled and asked, "In the past few days, how many words can you write on average every day?" ”
"More than 30,000 words, nearly 40,000 words. It can be said that recently, my stock has been increasing. ”
Liu Jianping stood up as he spoke, and continued, "No more small talk, I'm going back to the house to write a novel...... Cousin, you contact Xiao Ding and finalize the contract as soon as possible, after the contract is drawn up, it is best to find a lawyer to see if there is no problem, and then sign the contract. ”
"Got it."
After Liu Jianping turned to leave, Wang Yaoshen muttered: "Cousin, Jianping stares at the computer intently every day for more than ten hours, why isn't he short-sighted?" ”
"It has a lot to do with genetics." Zhu Fengnian stood up with a smile, "You washed the dishes and chopsticks, move quickly, there are still many things to be busy today!" ”
"There's a lot to do every day, when is the end?" Wang Yaoshen laughed and cried.
"Uh......" Zhu Fengnian thought for a while, "Go back, let's discuss with Jianping, if we can, hire two senior students from the University to work." ”
Wang Yaoshen asked while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "Why do you look for it from the National University of China instead of your alma mater, Jiangcheng University?" Wang Yaoshen asked with a smile.
Zhu Fengnian left the dining room and went to the living room, and replied without looking back: "Jiangcheng University is a key university, even if you can invite senior students, the salary will be higher." ”
"yes!" Wang Yaoshen nodded thoughtfully.
Liu Jianping went back to the bedroom, sat in front of the computer, logged in to the backstage of the good book network, and used the pen name of Liu Gongzi Jianping to create the second novel "The Days of Living with the Flight Attendant", the content introduction is very simple, only two paragraphs, the first paragraph is only ten words, the title of the book is very girly, and the content is very pure love.
The second paragraph is the real introduction of the novel: flight attendant Ran Jing got drunk after falling out of love, and was "picked up" home by Lu Fei, a white-collar worker who lived in the same community. After that, Ran Jing moved into Lu Fei's house for some reason and began to live with Lu Fei. Two people are under the same roof, from strangers to acquaintances, from acquaintances to love, ordinary bits and pieces converge into their pure love story......
After the new book was created, Liu Jianping updated three chapters at a time, and then landed on the backstage of "Langya Bang" and posted a single-chapter advertisement, recommending the new book.
At this time, Liu Jianping's mobile phone rang, and when he picked up the phone, he saw that it was a call from Xu Jing.
After answering the phone, Liu Jianping smiled and said, "Did you go out to work?" ”
"At the door of the bank, I saw that it was still early, so I will call you...... Are you up? ”
"I'm up and I'm sitting in front of my computer uploading a new book."
Xu Jing asked curiously, "Which pseudonym to use to update the new book?" ”
"Liu Gongzi Jianping."
"What's the name of the new book?"
"Days of Living with a Flight Attendant."
"Huh!" Xu Jing laughed, "You want to find a flight attendant girlfriend?" ”
Liu Jianping asked with a smile: "If I write a novel in which the hero's parents' family is killed by the enemy, don't I want my parents to live a long life?" ”
"You're a crooked." Xu Jing said angrily.
Liu Jianping smiled and did not answer.
"Uh......" Xu Jing pondered for a moment, "Are you free tonight?" ”
"Yes, I'll go to your place for dinner in the evening."
"Okay, see you in the evening."
"Bye-bye!"
