Chapter 641: Publish a book at your own expense

Li Kuo now recalls what a publishing house called "Puss Press" said. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Purs, a publishing house with a limited reputation in Los Angeles, USA, has always been a bit tepid in this place where there are many publishing houses.

There are not many people who know this publishing house, that is, Zou Pinqing put some effort into it, and also found some people, only then did he know the existence of this publishing house, and it feels more suitable.

Because of this Pusi Publishing House, if you want to make an analogy, it is a bit like the New Star Publishing House that Li Kuo cooperated with in Zhonghai in the last time and space.

Although such a publishing house has a relatively short history, the publishing house with a shorter history can often provide more active cooperation, and they are also very flexible and do not have too many taboos.

This kind of cooperation may not seem to have much interest, but if it is well manipulated, it will still usher in a good ending.

…… And Li Kuo met an American yesterday at the Puth Publishing House.

This guy should be a white man, but he is not as tall as Li Kuo, he looks thin and small, with a sharp beak and monkey gills, and has an obscene atmosphere.

This man's name is Chris Rhodes, Rhodes is the last name, and Chris is the first name.

Chris Rhodes and Li Kuo's exact words yesterday were: "Man, think about it, you have to know that you have a Chinese face, and you are not famous here, they will not like your book, and it is very likely that they will not have the patience to read it." But you are very confident in your book, so why don't you cooperate with us and publish it at your own expense? This is a very popular thing, and it is also in fashion, besides, almost all the future income is yours, this is a profitable business, of course, this premise is that you have to have confidence in your book......"

At that time, Li Kuo was very unhappy with Chris Rod's words, after all, publishing a book at his own expense sounded like an insult.

I'm in China, and I'm a super best-selling author with tens of millions of sales, but you're here to ask me to publish a book at my own expense? Isn't that?

So Li Kuo rejected Rhodes fiercely at that time, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he feels that it is really a bit embarrassing.

Publishing a book at your own expense, although it sounds very faceless and makes people feel very painful, but there is really a little benefit behind it.

After all, publishing books at their own expense is mainly two major obstacles for many people.

Among them, the first obstacle is naturally the cost of publishing, the cost of self-funded books is still not low, and often the more copies are printed, the higher the amount of money that needs to be spent.

Such costs often reach a very high level, and for many people who have the dream of publishing books, they can only think about it in their hearts, and often not too many people really practice it.

The second obstacle is the sales of books.

From publication to sale, a book must still need to be sold to a certain amount to make money, if it can't make money, then it's just a pure self-hobby for some people, just wanting to make these books as a souvenir.

But for those who publish books at their own expense, it is basically difficult to sell these books, after all, the publishers that sell well generally spend a lot of money to buy and take risks, and they do not need to publish books at their own expense.

Therefore, the sales of books have also become the biggest obstacle to self-funded book production.

Even if many people want to publish a book at their own expense and already have the money to publish the book, they also feel that the sales of the book in the future will disappoint them too much, so they finally give up.

Under such circumstances, the previous Li Kuo was even more reluctant to publish books at his own expense.

But now Li Kuo pondered it in his heart, but felt that this should not be a problem.

First of all, there is the cost, of course Li Kuo doesn't have to worry about this, after all, there is so much money now, just pay a little fee, it will definitely not be a problem, and it shouldn't cost too much to publish a book at his own expense, anyway, it is impossible to drain his savings.

In terms of cost, Li Kuo himself has no problem.

As for the next sales, for this point, Li Kuo was a little drumming at the beginning, and his previous novels that were relatively good were basically able to achieve a double harvest in terms of word-of-mouth and sales, so there will be a trilogy in which word-of-mouth and sales have fallen below the glasses.

But for foreign novels, Li Kuo does not have that kind of self-confidence for the time being...... Anyway, Li Kuo feels that if it is such a foreign novel, it is very likely that there will be various problems, and maybe it will be buried in sales or something.

…… However, Li Kuo also believes that everyone now has a discerning eye, and there should be people in the United States who can tell what is going on, and also believes that gold will always shine, and his book will eventually be able to sell well in Europe and the United States.

Therefore, after these two factors can be solved, Li Kuo also feels that if he wants to publish a book at his own expense, there are not too many obstacles at all.

So what's next?

Li Kuo pondered on the bed for a long, long time, and finally came up with a plan.

In this way, early the next morning, Li Kuo called Chris Rhodes.

What Chinese Rumu, Europe and the United States are straightforward, in fact, they are only relative, especially businessmen like Chris Rhodes, who also play very well with a knife in his smile, for example, now.

"How? Lee, what do you think of my proposal? If you figure it out, looking for me is the right person, after all, as long as you ask Chris, a good person, 80% of them will say it's me......"

Li Kuo is very big, and Nima is a good person, isn't this a?

However, Li Kuo also said with a smirk: "Okay, my friend, I thought about it all night, and in the end my answer was: why not?" Why not give yourself a chance? You have to know how confident I am in my novels...... Of course, we have an old Chinese saying called ugly words ahead, so I have to say, since I have made this decision, then I will look for the most suitable place, and if you give me too high a insurance price, it will not work......"

"It was a wise choice. And to tell you the good news, you can trust me completely, rookie great guy Chris. What do you think? Let's talk to Puz Press now, right? Since you call me a friend, I will treat you as a friend......"

"Okay, I'll come right over."

So, after chatting on the phone, Li Kuo immediately took Zou Pinqing over.
