Chapter 67 200,000 manuscript fees
After ending the call with Regan, Liu Jianping put his phone on the bed and went to the bathroom. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After convenience, Liu Jianping came to the computer desk and sat down, looked at his friend's message, and saw that Reagan showed off his novel in the group of signed authors of Good Books.com.
Some people asked for details, some people were envious, and some people joked that Regan was going to be depressed.
People who joked about Regan knew that Regan sold half of the copyright of "The Beauty of the Mountains" to Good Books, and now that the novel is published, half of the manuscript fee is siphoned off by Good Books.
Liu Jianping deliberately took a look at the screen name of the author who made fun of Regan, and when he saw that it was Lin Hai Tingtao, he was immediately happy.
"Lin Hai, you're going to be depressed too!" Liu Jianping spoke.
Seeing Liu Jianping's message, Lin Hai was stunned for a moment when he heard it, a smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly replied: "What? Young Master Liu, you're not kidding, are you? ”
"In order to prevent you from being depressed, I just have to refuse to talk to the publisher about publishing."
"Don't, Liu Gongzi, I said the wrong thing, you have a lot of adults, don't meet half of me. Hehe, is there really a publisher who likes my novel? ”
"Really."
"Congratulations to Lin Hai for being depressed!" Regan chimed in.
"Do you care if I play football? How many words is a thousand? It's a mainland publishing house, right? Lin Hai listened to Tao and asked three questions in a row.
"It's this novel, Jiangcheng Publishing House, 40 yuan per thousand words, and the manuscript fee before tax. If you are satisfied, you can sign a contract, if you are not satisfied, then you can only wait a little longer to see which publishing house is willing to pay a higher price. ”
"Satisfied, so satisfied, even if I can only get half of the manuscript fee, there is an after-tax manuscript fee of 17.76 yuan for 1,000 words, plus the income from the website buyout, there is 26.64 yuan for the after-tax manuscript fee per 1,000 words, I am very content. Thank you so much Liu Gongzi. ”
"Don't thank me too much, Jiangcheng Publishing House is willing to publish your novel, which is the result of the strong recommendation of Mount Everest View (Zhu Fengnian's online name), and I will have the opportunity to come to Jiangcheng as a guest in the future, you invite him to have a meal, hehe, you will definitely have the opportunity to come to Jiangcheng, I think about next December, around Christmas, invite some well-performing signed authors under the Good Book Network to come to Jiangcheng as guests, everyone will meet and have a good talk."
"When the time comes, I'll definitely go."
"Liu Gongzi, can I go to a person like me who has bad grades?" Shao Chunlong, the author of "Chutian Leisurely", interjected and asked.
"Shao Chunlong, even if you don't say it, I will invite you to come, your grades are not bad, last night, I also watched the recently updated chapters of "Chutian Leisurely", and it is getting more and more level. As for the authors with average grades, if they want to attend the annual meeting, they can participate at their own expense, and the authors invited by the website to attend the annual meeting will receive some travel subsidies. If there are too many authors who come, the website can't afford it, and if they don't give a subsidy fee, I guess many authors are reluctant to go far. ”
"It's getting more and more level, why don't I think that so far, no publishing house has talked to me about publishing, hehe, Liu Gongzi, otherwise, I sold you half of the copyright of the novel "Chutian Leisurely".
"If you want, buy half of the copyright at the price of 10 yuan per 1,000 words, and there are other websites that can't continue to update."
"Chutian Leisurely" is not a signed work of Good Book Network, it is a B signed work, and Shao Chunlong has also signed contracts with other websites.
Shao Chunlong felt that selling half of the copyright of "Chutian Leisurely" at a price of ten yuan per thousand words was too low, and asked, "Can the price be increased?" ”
"No, you can't. I suggest that when you write this book, save more manuscripts, and when the time comes, show it to me, and then talk about copyright. ”
"Okay, in a little more than a month, this book will be finished, and when I open a new book, I'll talk to you about it."
In the afternoon of that day, Liu Jianping received several electronic documents of the contract sent to his mailbox by Xinchang Publishing House, and after he downloaded these electronic documents, after reading them, there was no problem, so he saved them in a USB drive, took them to the printing shop at the entrance of the community and printed them out, ordered them one by one with a stapler, signed his name, and finally took them to the post office and sent them out.
The next day, the newly purchased 2U rack server was put into use, and the purchase of this server, plus the server network hosting fee paid to the telecom company, cost nearly 60,000 yuan in total.
With the new server put into use, readers obviously feel that the Internet speed of good books is much faster, and many readers compare this website with some other sites, and the results of comparison show that good books are taller and taller.
The word-of-mouth of readers has increased, which has a great effect on the number of paying readers for good books.
Within a few days, Changxin Publishing House received a contract from Liu Jianping, and without returning the contract, it received the electronic documents of six novels (including the first volume of "Boiling Beast Blood") sent by Liu Jianping to the mailbox, and after confirming that there was no problem, Boss Lan happily transferred a total of 226,000 yuan of after-tax manuscript fees to Liu Jianping's bank card.
After receiving the manuscript fee, Liu Jianping immediately remitted the manuscript fee of 16,250 yuan to Regan's bank card.
After sending the money, Liu Jianping made a phone call to Regan.
"Regan, 162.5 million yuan of after-tax manuscript fees, I have already gone through the remittance procedures, you can go to the bank tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to take a look."
"Thank you, Young Master Liu, you can have a fat year!" Regan smiled and said, "Lin Hai listened to Tao's "Do You Care About My Football" publishing contract, has it been completed?" ”
"I got it done yesterday and got the manuscript fee."
"So efficient!"
"Luckily, if I wait for the publication to get the manuscript fee, I don't know how long I will have to wait. Now that I've got the manuscript fee, I don't care too much about when it will be published. ”
"It's better to publish it early, and publish a book, which will help to enhance the author's reputation."
"That's what I thought, too. Hehe, I still have something here, let's talk about it here first, and we have something to talk about online. ”
"Bye-bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Jianping walked towards the parking place, walked a few steps, and took out his mobile phone to dial Xu Jing's phone.
"Quietly, busy?" Liu Jianping asked with a smile.
"No, I'm free right now."
"Then I'll talk to you." Liu Jianping smiled, "I'll tell you a good news, I earned nearly 200,000 yuan in manuscript fees today." ”
"What, so much?" Xu Jing was surprised, "No, I remember when we talked on the phone yesterday, you said that you wanted to sign a contract with Jiangcheng Publishing House, 1.05 million words, 40 yuan per thousand words, which is still a pre-tax manuscript fee, less than 40,000 yuan." ”
"That's yesterday's income, today's income, it's the contract signed a few days ago."
"Congratulations." Xu Jing said with a smile.
"Want to celebrate me?"
"You've made money, you should be treated."
"Okay, I'm in for a treat, I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight."
"Forget it tonight, I bought a lot of ingredients, tonight, if you are free, I will cook for you at home."
"Okay, I haven't eaten your food in a few days."
"It didn't take long, I didn't eat for two days."
"Two days, a long time, don't you know?"
"You like to exaggerate." Xu Jing smiled, "You said that you earned nearly 200,000 yuan in manuscript fees today, and the copyright of the novel you wrote was sold?" ”
"Uh......" Liu Jianping pondered for a moment, "The five novels I wrote (remarks) sold the copyright of the traditional Chinese version of T Bay. Hehe, your little man is amazing, right?! ”
(Counting the king of Yaya, it is five, the book "Beast Blood Boiling" is not included, no contract is signed, no money is sold, just a verbal agreement)
"Awesome!" Xu Jing smiled and said, "Where are you now?" ”
"At the gate of ICBC, I'm going to go to the post office to withdraw money later."
"Then you go get busy first, and we'll talk when we meet in the evening."
