Chapter 110: Bad Ending
When Liu Jianping returned to room 502, Zhu Fengnian, Wen Mengying and Wang Yaoshen were all in the living room, chatting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Why did it take so long to get a camera?" Wang Yaoshen asked with a smile.
"Sister Xu's computer is a little slow, so I helped her optimize it."
Liu Jianping opened his mouth and lied, handed the digital camera to Wang Yaoshen, thought about it, and handed the peach he was holding in his other hand to Wen Mengying, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, give it to you." ”
"Eat it yourself."
"I just ate it."
"Thank you!" Wen Mengying smiled, "I'll take it to wash ......"
Wen Mengying took the peaches into the bathroom in the master bedroom, and Zhu Fengnian joked: "Let's take two more, Yaoshen and I also want to eat peaches." ”
"If you want to eat it, buy it yourself." Liu Jianping smiled and said, "Yaoshen, take photos, and upload photos to the Internet, these things will be left to you, I will go back to the house to write a novel." ”
"No problem."
Wang Yaoshen used a digital camera before, and after fumbling for a while, he began to take pictures.
The next morning, Liu Jianping rode a scooter alone to the company to surf the Internet, and at about half past three in the afternoon, he found a reason to leave the company.
When he came to the parking place, Liu Jianping made a call to Xu Jing.
"Jingjing, I've left the company, what about you, where are you now?"
"I just left and I'm sitting in the car."
"Drive carefully, see you later."
Xu Jing returned home first, she had just taken two sips of water, and Liu Jianping knocked on the door.
Putting down the water glass, Xu Jing walked to the door, saw Liu Jianping through the cat's eyes, and opened the door with a smile.
"Miss me!" Liu Jianping rushed into the house, hugged Xu Jing, and kissed passionately.
After kissing for a while, Xu Jing, who had delicate red cheeks, pushed Liu Jianping away and said angrily: "What are you in a hurry, the door hasn't closed yet!" ”
"I miss you so much!"
Liu Jianping closed the door with a smile, took off his sneakers directly, and didn't wear slippers, so he picked up Xu Jing impatiently and walked directly to the bedroom.
Enjoying the joy of fish and water, the two were greatly satisfied.
Looking at Xu Jing with a satisfied smile on her face, Liu Jianping was a little proud, and asked with a wicked smile, "Is it cool?" ”
"Cool, cool!" Xu Jing said her true feelings without scruples.
"Do you want to do it again?" Liu Jianping said with a smile, his right hand began to break and climbed onto Xu Jing's plump breasts.
"Rest for a while." Xu Jing smiled.
Xu Jing didn't push Liu Jianping's hand, let him make it bad, closed his eyes slightly, and enjoyed it.
The two chatted for a while, and then started a passionate drama that couldn't be closed in the spring garden.
That night, Xu Jing cooked dinner at home, and although there were not too many fresh ingredients, she still made a hearty dinner.
"I'm so full!" Liu Jianping put down his chopsticks after eating, and touched his stomach with a smile.
"You're pretty good at eating." Xu Jing stood up with a smile, "...... you watch TV in the living room for a while?"
"Don't!" Liu Jianping hurriedly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks first, "Today, you are tired enough, I'll wash the dishes and chopsticks." ”
Xu Jing hesitated, nodded with a smile, and said, "Then I don't care about you, I'm going to watch TV." ”
"Don't worry!"
Three or four minutes later, Liu Jianping, who had finished his work, came to the living room, sat next to Xu Jing, and reached out to hold the other party's right hand.
"Jingjing, thank you, with your 500,000 yuan for me, it will be much easier for the three companies to operate."
"You're welcome." Xu Jingyan smiled, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself...... Seriously, you're writing thirty or forty thousand words a day, and that's too tiring. ”
"It's fine. The novels I write are not the kind of famous books that have been passed down for centuries, fast food literature, typing it out with a keyboard, and it is not as tiring as you think. ”
"I'll give you a massage."
"That's great!" Liu Jianping said happily, "I'm lying on my stomach......"
Liu Jianping lay on the sofa, Xu Jing moved a chair, sat next to the sofa, and massaged him attentively.
"It's so comfortable!" Liu Jianping squinted his eyes and enjoyed it.
"How have you spent your money lately?" Xu Jing asked in search of a topic.
"I bought the electronic copyright and physical book copyright of many works, and the physical book is the paper book."
"I know that, you said it before." Xu Jing clenched her fist and slapped Liu Jianping's back, "Is this comfortable?" ”
"It's very comfortable, hehe, you hit me like this, is there a kind of abusive pleasure?"
"Not really!" Xu Jing pretended to be displeased.
"No way!"
"You're saying that, I don't give massages anymore." Xu Jing stopped.
"Don't, don't, I said the wrong thing, I'm sorry...... You're doing this for my good, big wife, hurry up. ”
"Humph!" Xu Jing, who was smiling, began to hit Liu Jianping's back with her fist again, "You spent money to buy the copyright of other people's novels, do you have a loss?" ”
"Yes, there are a few books that will definitely lose money, but I am optimistic about the potential of these authors. There are also a few works that have spent a lot of money to buy copyrights, and they have not made a profit for the time being, and I believe that they may be able to make a lot of money in the future. ”
"How much money was spent on the copyright of that book, how was it decided?"
"Basically, I made a decision, the editor of the good book network thinks which book is good, and the author intends to sell the copyright, the editor will recommend it to me, after I read it, I think it is good, then there is a discussion, I think it is average, then I can only sign a contract."
"I'm in the Dragon. Target. Sky. On the empty forum, I saw that many people took the subscription revenue share of the good book network to talk about it, saying that the author has no future to develop on the good book network, and the subscription income is divided by half of the good book network, so that the money will be less, and the income will be higher if you go to a certain website...... These people are so hateful. ”
"Huh!" Liu Jian was happy, turned his head and glanced at Xu Jing, "Jingjing, there is no need for us to be angry about this kind of thing, those who know the inside story know that Haoshu.com is the boss of the industry...... It is estimated that it will not be long before those websites that like to brag are going to hit the mold. ”
"Why?" Xu Jing asked curiously.
"Country. Family. Machine. Shut down the anti-pornography and anti-illegal action, you know? ”
"Yes, I saw it in the newspapers."
"Now that some stations are serialized and signed some H-related novels, this anti-pornography and anti-illegal activity that sweeps the entire network will sooner or later be on the head of the station."
"If that's the case, then it's good, there will be fewer competitors on Good Books." Xu Jing said with a smile.
"Who's to say it isn't!" Liu Jianping said with a smile.
At this time, Liu Jianping's mobile phone rang, he didn't stand up, reached out and took out the mobile phone from his pocket, took it out and saw that it was Zhu Fengnian calling.
Answering the phone, Liu Jianping smiled and said, "Cousin, what's the matter?" ”
"Have you had dinner?"
"I've eaten it."
"Then I don't have to bring you food. Wait a minute, and we'll go home. ”
"Oh, got it, bye-bye!" After Liu Jianping finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
When Liu Jianping answered the phone, Xu Jing did not hit his back with his fists, but kneaded his shoulders with his hands.
Xu Jing heard Zhu Fengnian's voice, and when Liu Jianping hung up the phone, she patted Liu Jianping on the shoulder and said, "Get up, you go back." ”
Liu Jianping got up, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and looked at Xu Jing with some reluctance.
Xu Jing and Liu Jianping glanced at each other a few times, and said in a mocking tone: "You are still young, don't be obsessed with women, you are now the boss, for the sake of your future life, you should put more thought into work......"
Liu Jianping looked at Xu Jing with a smile, did not interrupt her words, and after she finished saying a big word, he smiled: "In your eyes, how old am I." ”
"Twenty years old." Xu Jing smiled, "Don't tell me that the date of birth on your provincial certificate is fake." ”
"Twenty years old, just twenty years old, what's wrong?!" The corners of Liu Jianping's mouth were filled with a smile.
"Not much, little man, don't rub it off, you can go."
Liu Jianping hesitated for a while, sighed lightly, and smiled: "Okay, I'll go...... Time flies, tomorrow Friday, Saturday the day after tomorrow...... On Saturday, I don't go to work, I want you to stay with me all day, and I spend the night with you! ”
"Okay!"
Saying goodbye to Xu Jing, Liu Jianping reluctantly left Xu Jing's home, returned to the opposite door, entered his bedroom, turned on the computer, logged in QQ, no invisibility, and did not reply to the previous message, many netizens sent him messages.
Blood-red, who had just eaten dinner, sat shirtless in front of the computer, chatting with several contracted authors of the Good Book Network, and saw that Liu Jianping was online, and hurriedly sent a message.
"Young Master Liu, how many subscriptions does "Dragon Battle Xingye" have on QD?"
Liu Jianping asked curiously, "Why did you think of asking this question today?" ”
"I don't pay much attention to it personally, and if someone asks me today, I'll come and ask you."
"A few days ago, I read the subscription, the average is a little more than 300, most of them are subscribed by volume, the cost of reader subscription is 1 cent per thousand words, and the good book network can get ninety percent of the subscription income."
"How to divide, I wish you a good year and said it before. Hehe, more than three hundred, so little. "Legend of Rebirth", "Super Player of Online Games" and "Shushan", how many of the three complete works are set on QD.com? ”
"It's more than a thousand."
"Cow!"
"Hehe, don't be discouraged, I think your strength is the top among online novel writers, isn't "Evil Dragon Dao" now heroic!"
"Thanks to the recommendation of the good book network, since "Evil Dragon Dao" has been on the shelves, I feel that this book has been recommended a lot more times than "Shenglong Dao", which makes me a little embarrassed, I can only write a novel and report on your and Zhu Fengnian's appreciation."
"It's too obvious for you to say this, "Evil Dragon Dao" has good results, and Good Books Network also takes advantage, after all, Good Books Network owns half of the copyright of this book."
"Do you think the book "The Way of the Evil Dragon" is suitable for publishing a physical book in the mainland?"
"Hehe, ask and ask, this question is the question you really want to ask, right?"
Liu Jianping did not hide the establishment of a joint venture between Liu Jianping and others to establish a grinding iron book company, but advertised that as early as more than half a month ago, he issued an announcement on the Good Book Network, telling the contracted authors and readers of the Good Book Network.
"Hehe, you have to understand it that way."
"It's a good fit. To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about sales. ”
"It's good to be able to publish, but if I publish a physical book in simplified Chinese, how much will I get paid?"
"Do you want to sell the copyright directly, or do you want to participate in the royalty sharing?"
"How much money does it cost to sell the rights directly? What percentage of the royalty is shared? ”
"Selling the rights directly, this needs to be talked about, I need to consult the opinions of other shareholders, I am not a shareholder of Motie Books. If it's royalty sharing, I want to tell you directly, but to reach 8 percent, this 8 percent is calculated like this, grinding iron book company will calculate some basic costs such as buying book numbers, this calculates, how many books to print, such as 3,000 copies, this company can not lose money, these 3,000 copies, whether they can be sold, or not, you don't have a share, if you print later, not by sales, but by the amount of printed, for example, 10,000 copies, each with a price of 20 yuan, 8 percent of the royalty, that is 160,000 yuan... … I explain it this way, do you understand? ”
After a while, Blood Red replied: "I understand, how is my royalty share different from Xiao Ding's "Zhu Xian"? ”
"When the print run of more than 50,000 copies of Zhu Xian is printed, the author can get a royalty of five percent, you know?"
"Yes."
"You are eight percent, three points more than him, the reason why this is the case is because the subscription share of the book "Evil Dragon Dao" can make good books make money, and "Zhu Xian" is different, at the beginning of the high price of 150 yuan per thousand words to buy half of the copyright of the book, is to fancy the potential of the book's physical book in the mainland. If you are worried that the physical book of "Evil Dragon Dao" will not sell well in the mainland and will not get royalties, we can set a base like this, such as 10,000 copies, regardless of whether the sales volume reaches 10,000 copies, and calculate the manuscript fee at a royalty rate of 3% for 10,000 copies, and when the print run exceeds 10,000 copies, you can get 8% of the royalties, what do you think? ”
"I think it's better to set the base, hehe, the base is low, and it will sell well in the future, I can make more money, and if the base is high, I can get a lot of manuscript fees immediately."
"Tomorrow, I will discuss it with other shareholders, and after the results are available, I will tell you again, and strive to publish the first volume of "Evil Dragon Dao" as soon as possible."
"Is there a plan to publish Yanyu Jiangnan's "Blasphemy"?"
"Didn't you ask him?"
"I've heard him say before, you promised eight percent of the royalties, and in the last few days, he dived, and I didn't see him online, so I didn't talk to him."
"When I was planning to start a book company when I promised an 8 percent royalty, I didn't think I would get a controlling stake in the company. Since I have promised, I will do my best to realize that no matter how well the book "Blasphemy" sells in the mainland, he will receive 8 percent of the royalty for the book, which is calculated by sales, not by circulation. ”
"My Evil Dragon Dao is published, in terms of print run?"
"If you set a base, you can calculate it in terms of print runs."
"If Yanyu Jiangnan also proposes to calculate the print run, will you refuse?"
"Definitely refused. You may not know that as long as it is not a particularly best-selling novel, there will definitely be some books that will not be sold when they are printed. Han Han's "Triple Gate" has a tax rate of only 8 percent, and Han Han became famous before the book was published. If it weren't for the sale of the traditional Chinese royalties for "Blasphemy" and "The Way of the Evil Dragon", I would certainly not have offered to publish both of your books at the 8 percent royalty rate. If the publishing rights are transferred to other publishing houses, Haoshu.com can get half of the share, and when the sales volume is less than 20,000 yuan, the sales volume will not be able to get a share. ”
The copyrights of the traditional Chinese physical books of "Blasphemy" and "Evil Dragon Dao" were bought by Xinchang Publishing House in Baodao, and the price is the same, the after-tax price of 100 yuan per thousand words, Haoshu.com can get 50% of the share, and "Evil Dragon Dao" is updated about 10,000 words on Haoshu.com every day, not counting subscription income, and can get 500 yuan of income from Xinchang Publishing House every day.
Haoshu.com has profited from the sale of the copyrights of the traditional Chinese physical books of the two books "Blasphemy" and "Evil Dragon Dao", and it is for this reason that Liu Jianping and Zhu Fengnian will find a way to make up for Yanyu Jiangnan and Xuehong.
"You designed all these rules?"
"Most of them are the result of discussions between several shareholders of Motie Book Company."
"I heard that "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" was published and released, how did it sell?"
"Sales were good, 10,000 copies were sold out, and the second printing began."
"Ten thousand copies printed for the first time? How many copies of the second volume will be printed? ”
The answer to the first question is, yes, yes. The answer to the second question is that 20,000 copies will be printed. ”
"Wow, 30,000 copies sold, that's amazing."
"I hope it will be printed and sold as soon as possible."
"It's definitely going to be a big hit, wait a while, I'll buy a copy of your autograph on Taobao and support you!"
"Thank you!"
After Liu Jianping thanked him, he asked, "Have you had dinner?" ”
"Just ate it. What about you? ”
"I've eaten it too. Hehe, how many words have you written today? ”
"Today's task is complete, let's see the situation, and when you are in the mood, you will write more. I'm far worse than you. Hehe, Liu Gongzi, to be honest, many of the novels you are serializing now have already been completed? ”
"It's being serialized, how can it be finished, you have a problem with this."
"I don't think there's a problem, you don't understand, I'll explain, the manuscript in your computer is finished, so you understand, right? Hehe! ”
"Got it! If you guess correctly, there is no prize for guessing correctly. ”
"I said yes, I think it's acceptable to write two books, if you change these four or five books, it's too against the sky, no matter what, you are an existence against the sky, hehe, I say so, you won't be unhappy, right?"
"No, it won't."
At this time, Liu Jianping heard the sound of the door opening, and a moment later, he heard the conversation between Zhu Fengnian and Wang Yaoshen.
"Blood Red, I have something here, I won't talk to you yet, you can leave a message if you have something."
"Okay, you're busy, 886"
Liu Jianping stood up, turned around and was about to walk out of the bedroom, and saw Zhu Fengnian and Wang Yaoshen standing at the door of the bedroom.
"I'm back!" Liu Jianping greeted with a smile, "Cousin, let me tell you something, Xuehong told me that he was willing to transfer the copyright of "Evil Dragon Dao" to Motie Book Company, and I said that he would give him eight percent of the royalties. ”
"Eight percent, that's too high, isn't it?" Zhu Fengnian was puzzled, "He talked about the royalties of "Blasphemy"? ”
"When publishing these two books, the royalty rate is not the same, and I told him that we set a base on our side, and the print run does not exceed the base, and we calculate the royalty according to the base, and the royalty rate is three percent."
"This ......" Zhu Fengnian thought for a moment, nodded with a smile, "You have a good idea." What do you think is the right base? ”
"Go high, you can get cheaper." Wang Yaoshen interjected.
"How much do you think is appropriate?" Liu Jianping looked at Wang Yaoshen and asked.
"30,000 copies?" Wang Yaoshen said with a smile.
"It's too much." Liu Jianping shook his head and said, "I'll just read 10,000 copies." ”
Wang Yaoshen was puzzled: "The base of "Zhu Xian" is 50,000 copies, and the subscription of "Evil Dragon Dao" on the good book network is not worse than that of "Zhu Xian", why is the technology of "Evil Dragon Dao" so low?" ”
Liu Jianping explained: "Zhu Xian began to be updated last year, updating a large number of free chapters and accumulating a large number of readers, although the average level of "Evil Dragon Dao" is higher, largely based on the super fast update speed of this book, in contrast, I think the number of readers of "Zhu Xian" is much larger...... There is also a difference in the style of "Zhu Xian" from "Evil Dragon Dao", and it is more likely that "Zhu Xian" will be a hit. ”
Zhu Fengnian smiled: "The base positioning is 10,000 copies, I think it's very good, after all, the copyright of the traditional Chinese physical book of the book "Evil Dragon Dao" has made us a lot of money on the good book network, if the sales of "Evil Dragon Dao" in the mainland are good, it is also appropriate to let blood red earn more." ”
"Don't stand and talk, go and work on the living room couch for a while." Wang Yaoshen said with a smile.
The three cousins came to the living room and sat down on the couch.
Wang Yaoshen asked with a smile: "How does Haoshu.com participate in the royalty sharing of the book "Evil Dragon Dao", have you thought about it?" ”
"When we talked about publishing "Blasphemy" before, didn't there be a few ladders, but if I remember correctly, when it sold more than 20,000 copies, Good Books could get a 2% share...... Look at this, no matter how many sales of "Evil Dragon Dao" are, Haoshu.com can get at least two percent of the royalty share, to the level of 50,000 copies, and several levels with larger sales, Haoshu.com gets the same royalty share as the book "Blasphemy". ”
"That's good, I don't think Gu Qingsheng will object." Wang Yaoshen said.
"I hope he won't object, tomorrow, I'll talk to him about it, if he doesn't object, I'll tell Xuehong again, and send the relevant contract to Xuehong, let Xuehong send it as soon as possible, get the contract, and start publishing the book "Evil Dragon Dao"."
On the day when Haoshu.com launched the reward system, the staff of Haoshu.com did not count how much money readers spent on rewarding, but Wang Yaoshen specially watched the rewards of several popular productions with high subscriptions, such as "Boiling Beast Blood", "Shenglong Dao", "Profanity/Blasphemy" and "Evil Dragon Dao".
Time flies, in anticipation and waiting, "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" was published, and on June 2, the book was put on the shelves of bookstores in Jiangcheng and other cities.
