Another way to work together?

Xu Hao frowned. Xiao Fei's answer was beyond his expectations. He couldn't think of any other way to work together.

"What kind of cooperation?" Xu Hao asked.

Xiao Fei smiled and said: "Your society can provide me with a book number, provide me with funds to collect 10,000 yuan, this book is operated by myself, and I will share the publication profits of the book "Fish Walking on Land" with your society, how about it?" ”

"Huh?!"

Xu Hao's mouth opened wide, a little unbelieving his ears, he never thought that Xiao Fei would make such a proposal.

It is not uncommon to publish books at your own expense.

There is also a part of co-publishing.

What is self-financed book publishing?

In fact, it is a book that the publisher is not optimistic about at all, and the author insists on publishing it. As long as the author is willing to bear the full cost and pay this part of the cost to the publisher, the publisher will also publish and print the book for the author.

For the author of the book at his own expense, the publisher does not care about the sale, and the author of the printed book can take it home and figure it out by himself, or distribute it to relatives and friends, or find a way to sell a few copies by himself, which has nothing to do with the publisher.

What is co-publishing?

It means that the publisher believes that the book has a certain market value, but is not sure, in order to avoid the risk of loss. The author needs to provide a part of the funds to buy a batch of books first, and the manuscript fee or something. With profits, in fact, most of the co-published books are just a penny.

Both forms. The author is required to pay the publisher.

Publishers hardly lose money, and even make a small profit.

This is a kind of exploitation of the author. Powerful writers will never accept either form of publishing.

Only new authors who are not well-known will choose to publish their books at their own expense or co-publish.

And now Xiao Fei actually proposed that the publishing house provide the book number to provide part of the funds, and he himself will operate the publishing and sell his own books.

Xu Hao felt that his brain was not enough.

How could this child think that?

Is it so easy to run a book publishing and sales? To edit, to typeset, to review, to find a suitable printing house, to find their own sales channels.

Just thinking about it makes my head big!

Not to mention. There is still 100,000 yuan of funds in the conditions proposed by Xiao Fei!

Xu Hao felt that this was simply whimsical, asking the publisher to provide the book number and funds, and only 5% of the profit could be shared.

The leaders of the publishing house must be able to agree, then the brain is in the water!

Teacher Xu thinks that this form of cooperation is okay? Let me tell you about the benefits of Shanghai Art Publishing House working with me in this way. ”

Xiao Fei opened his mouth and began to talk eloquently.

"The first one, my book "Fish Walking on Land" has a total of more than 340,000 words. And the harvest novel special issue only sent 250,000 words, compressed a lot of plot, taking advantage of the current harvest novel special issue is now selling so hot, if we cooperate to launch an uncut version of "Land Walking Fish". In my opinion, the order quantity for the first printing will not be less than 300,000 copies, and the price will be 10 yuan per copy. The yard is more than 3 million, and the profit should be at least 10,000 or more. Your company provides 100,000 yuan of start-up capital and a book number, and you don't have to worry about anything else. You can quickly get more than 500,000 profits back, and the rate of return on investment is still very high, Mr. Xu thinks, am I right? ”

"Oh." Xu Hao didn't expect that Xiao Fei would think so deeply, and even calculated the profit or something.

"Second, we can sign a ten-year cooperation agreement, then, in the future, your company can still get 50% of the annual sales profit, which is still considerable."

"First, your company basically won't have any risks, and you no longer need to pay any labor costs, such a good thing is really hard to find with a lantern!"

After Xiao Fei finished speaking, he looked at Xu Hao with a smile.

He knew that Xu Hao was just an editor, and it was impossible for him to have the right to make decisions.

His proposal is not in line with conventional common sense at all, and if Xu Hao wants to agree on the spot, it is impossible.

I don't know if the leaders of Shanghai Art Publishing House will agree.

Let's hope they'll agree.

The reason why Xiao Fei thought of this kind of cooperation was also in helplessness.

First, he needs a large shrine ISBN so that he can compete for the Mao Dun Award in the future.

Second, he doesn't have so much money to run his book "Fish Walking on Land" now, and he lacks funds, so he can only make more money.

"But, but, Xiao Fei, our publishing house has not had such a special case before! I don't think the leader will agree! Xu Hao finally spoke.

Xiao Fei spread his hands: "Mr. Xu, then there is no way, in fact, I don't necessarily have to cooperate with Shanghai Art Publishing House, I have other choice goals." ”

Holding a hen that lays golden eggs.

Still worried about finding a partner?

The big demon is a place that pioneered the trend, and Xiao Fei thinks that after weighing the pros and cons, the Shanghai Art Society may agree to his proposal.

After all, if they give up, they won't make a penny.

Giving up profits for the sake of rules is not in line with the way of thinking of smart people.

Xu Hao listened to Xiao Fei's words, but he was in a hurry, he believed that Xiao Fei's words were not to scare himself, in order to gain the current popularity of the novel special number, I don't know how many publishing houses will stare at Xiao Fei's book.

You just have to give up.

Then the wolves will rush up.

The scramble is inexorable.

Isn't the reason why I came in such a hurry to seize the opportunity?

What should I do? Xu Hao was a little in a dilemma.

Now he finally stopped looking at Xiao Fei with the eyes of a child: this young age is young, but he thinks deeply, and there is a bit of a sense of profit.

Other writers, who would have such a strange idea, actually want to run their own books to make money, full of copper smell!

Can't you be more elegant and take money lightly?

Xu Hao smiled bitterly and scratched his head: "Xiao Fei, you are still a student, you have unparalleled talent, I think, you really don't need to value the word 'profit', it will kill your enthusiasm for writing, in fact, in this world, not everything can be measured by money, right?" Also, you're repeating now, and your homework is so tight, where do you have time to run the books yourself? You don't even know about it! You will take a lot of risk in doing this, and I think the best way is to leave the book to our publishing house to operate, and you can concentrate on studying and creating, wouldn't it be better? ”

Xiao Fei said "hehe" in his heart, is this to use the big truth to purify my coppery heart? (To be continued......)
