Chapter 102: The Third Month of the First Month, the Third Update, 2/3
As early as the beginning of November last year, Tong Hui told Liu Jianping that he wanted to write a rebirth online novel, but he didn't start writing for a long time, read a lot of rebirth novels, collected a lot of information, and prepared for nearly half a year before he started writing.

The manuscript sent by Tong Hui to Liu Jianping was only more than 20,000 words, and after Liu Jianping read it, he had a desire to continue looking.
"Tong Shao, I read your manuscript, it's really well written, you can sign a contract!"
Tong Hui, who was writing a novel on the computer, was immediately happy when he saw Liu Jianping's reply.
"Jianping, don't let me take special care of me because I am your fellow countryman and senior, I can sign if I can, or if I can't, I can accept it."
"I really think your writing is very good, the writing and the story are very good, I feel that your book is better than "The Legend of Rebirth".
"Really?"
"It's more real than pearls."
"If you really think so, when the novel I wrote is serialized on the Good Books Network, you can recommend it with what you just said."
"Okay!"
"If I sell half of the copyright, what price can you offer?"
"Ten dollars for a thousand words. It is not very likely that the rebirth novel will be published as a physical book, so the price will not be too high. ”
"I feel that I can't publish online novels with physical books, and I will suffer if I spend 10 yuan per thousand words on the good book network."
"I didn't think I would suffer."
"Good Books Network buys half of the copyright at a price of 1,000 words and 10 yuan, free chapters, and you have to pay for it, even after it is put on the shelves, the number of VIP chapter subscriptions has reached 500,500 subscriptions, and every 1,000 words is only 10 yuan, counting the cost of selling book coins, Good Books Network is obviously suffering."
"That's not how the account is calculated, if the subscription exceeds 500, the website can get half of the share."
"Then you can choose to sign a contract."
"I see what you mean, hehe, you can think of it this way, in addition to signing a contract with Goodbook.com, you can also sign a contract with other websites. To tell you the truth, I estimate that if you save some manuscripts for this book and send it to the editors of other websites, there may be editors who bid 15 yuan per thousand words to buy out the copyright. ”
"Even if other websites bid for a buyout price of 30 yuan per thousand words, I will cooperate with you. Then it's decided, the novel "Rebirth 1992", Good Books Network bought half of the copyright at a price of 10 yuan per thousand words? ”
"That's it. When you are free that day, come and sit with me, and sign the contract by the way. ”
"I heard that the signing contract of the good book network is printed by the author himself, and it is sent to you first, and then sent to the author after you sign."
"I didn't want you to save some trouble."
"You have a printer there, right?"
"Yes, I just bought it last month."
"When will I get the manuscript fee after signing the contract?"
"If you are short of money, when you sign a contract, you will pay as much as you want. If you are not short of money, then wait until the beginning of next month to pay for the manuscript, together with other authors. ”
"Then the beginning of next month."
"When are you going to update?"
"Save some more manuscripts and strive to start serialization within half a month."
"Okay. I'm going to talk to other authors, so let's talk about it here first, so I won't bother you writing novels. ”
"Bye-bye!"
More than a week later, on the morning of May 20, Liu Jianping rented an office building with a usable area of more than 150 square meters.
Soon after signing the contract, Wang Yaoshen said to Liu Jianping with a smile: "Jianping, the office building has been rented, is the computer a new one?" ”
Liu Jianping smiled and said, "Buy, buy a new one!" ”
Zhu Fengnian reminded: "You can think clearly, new employees will be recruited soon, new employees need computers, if you don't save a little, the money in your hand will be spent soon." ”
Gu Qingsheng interjected with a smile: "After the publication of "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant", the sales will definitely not be bad, Motie Book Company and Jianping can make money, I believe that after "Zhu Xian" and "Ethereal Journey" are published, they will also sell well!" ”
Before, after Liu Jianping and Gu Qingsheng discussed, they reached a consensus that after the establishment of Motie Book Company, the first novel published by the operation was set as "The Days of Living with the Flight Attendant", this novel is still serialized on the Good Book Network, and it is expected to be completed by the end of June, although the update speed is very slow, but it has been sought after by many readers, and now it has exceeded 2000.
"I hope it will be a big seller!" Liu Jianping smiled and said, "Don't waste time, go to the computer city this afternoon, uh, buy ten assembly computers first...... Luckily, there are desks, otherwise it would have cost a lot of money to buy a desk......"
During the day, Liu Jianping did not sit in front of the computer to write a novel.
After having dinner at the restaurant outside in the evening, Liu Jianping returned to his residence, and without chatting a few words, he went into the bedroom.
In fact, Liu Jianping's several novels that are updated now have a lot of manuscripts, even if he doesn't revise the manuscript for a month or two, there will be no paragraph changes, but the number of words updated every day in the novels published by him is very amazing, and he can't let others think that he is idle, otherwise, it won't make sense.
That night, before going to bed, Liu Jianping logged on to the backstage of the Good Books Network, looked at the titles of the new books uploaded in the past few days, and found a book that interested him - "New Books", the author's pen name is A Yue.
"Ah Yue, Ah Yue, who wrote "New Song", published a physical book, and the sales in the mainland are not bad, which can be regarded as a bestseller and a god."
Liu Jianping muttered a few times and clicked on the book "New Song", although only two chapters were updated, but from the small number of words, he saw Ah Yue's strength.
"Sign the contract and buy half of the copyright!"
Liu Jianping didn't think much about it, read Ah Yue's author information, copied the QQ number, and added the other party as a friend.
"He may not be ......"
Liu Jianping muttered, and left a message to Ah Yue through the background message system of Haoshu.com, informing the other party that he was the webmaster of Haoshu.com, adding the other party's QQ as a friend, and letting the other party see the message, so he logged in to QQ, chatted with him, and discussed the signing of the contract.
After more than ten minutes, Liu Jianping walked out of the bedroom and saw Wang Yaoshen lying on the ground doing push-ups.
"Yao Shen, you said that this summer, do you want to invite Elle to work in our company?"
"Okay!" Wang Yaoshen said happily, although he didn't do enough of the planned number of push-ups, he got up, "How much salary?" ”
"How much do you think is appropriate?" Liu Jianping asked rhetorically.
"I won't give advice, you can watch and give!" Wang Yaoshen laughed.
"After a while, I'll discuss it with Feng Nian." Liu Jianping smiled, "From tomorrow onwards, the place to work and sleep will be separated, and I am really not used to it." ”
"You may not get used to it at first, but after a long time, you will definitely get used to it." Wang Yaoshen smiled, "Do you estimate how long you will stay in the office every day in the future?" ”
"It's hard to say, if all three companies are doing well, and I don't have anything to do, I can stay in the office and write novels, or I can stay in the residence and write novels."
"When did you rent a place and do we still live together?"
A few days ago, Liu Jianping, Wang Yaoshen and others said that after renting an office, they would change places to live and rent near the company.
"Let's live together, let my cousin and sister-in-law live in a single apartment, and the two of us rent a two-bedroom house, and in the future, my parents, and your parents will come to Jiangcheng, and rent another house, and you, or I, move out and live in another place."
Wang Yaoshen asked with a smile: "Didn't you say that in the future, let the eldest aunt and uncle also come to help, they came, and they didn't live with their cousin?" ”
"It depends, I believe that the three companies will be able to grow rapidly in the future, and the number of employees will increase. My cousin and sister-in-law want to return the place to live, which is also very convenient, and the place they originally rented can be sublet to a colleague. ”
"yes!"
"By the way, let me tell you something, I just saw a novel that was just uploaded today on the good book network - "New Song", I feel that the writing is very good, I left a message for the author, and talked to him about signing a contract."
"Xin Song, I haven't read this book yet...... Wang Yaoshen looked at Liu Jianping with a smile and asked, "You don't want to buy out half of the copyright of this novel again, do you?" ”
"It depends, if the author's offer is not very good, I think I can buy half of the copyright."
Wang Yaoshen said with a smile: "Motie Book Company was established, and it is good to buy half of the copyright of some online novels." ”
"It's better to have less than to have more!" Liu Jian said flatly, "Okay, I won't talk to you, I'm going to wash up, I want to go to bed early today." ”
"Let's talk a little longer."
"What are you talking about?"
Wang Yaoshen thought for a moment, smiled and asked, "Tong Hui wrote "Rebirth 1992", guess how many collections there are now?" ”
"More than a hundred?"
"Have you seen the background data?"
"Nope. I've read the manuscript he wrote before, and I feel pretty good, the title of the book is so direct, I like to read the rebirth of readers, when they see the title, they won't give up. ”
"In the absence of a recommendation, a newcomer, the new book was created in less than twelve hours, and two chapters were updated, with more than one hundred and fifty collections, and the results are outstanding."
"It's pretty good."
