Huang Xiaowan asked curiously, "What kind of book is so interesting?" ”

Li Wenhua said, "Those things in the Ming Dynasty have a humorous and interesting way of writing about some things in the Ming Dynasty. ”

After speaking, he showed the cover of the novel to Huang Xiaowan to see.

When Huang Xiaowan saw the name on the cover of the novel, she lost interest, and said to Li Wenhua instead, "Let's go, I'm going to eat, I'm almost hungry." ”

Li Wenhua looked up at the sky, and before he knew it, it was already dark, folded a corner on the page of the novel, and then said to Huang Xiaowan, "You go to the door and wait for me first, I'll go and buy the book." ”

Huang Xiaowan said to Li Wenhua, "You really want to buy it, it's more than 30 yuan, it's not cheap." ”

Li Wenhua nodded and said, "After reading half of it, I can't wait to see the other half, I died of laughter, I really convinced this author, and I can write a boring history book so humorously, what a talent." ”

Huang Xiaowan saw that her boyfriend insisted on buying it, so she didn't say anything anymore, turned around and walked out of the bookstore.

Li Wenhua took "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and walked to the cashier to check out.

"Hey, you want to buy this book too." A flat-headed, young man in a plaid shirt next to him also walked to the cashier counter with a copy of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" in his hand, and suddenly saw Li Wenhua also holding a copy in his hand, stopped, and said to Li Wenhua with a smile.

Li Wenhua also replied with a smile, "Yes, this book is so interesting, you want to buy it too." ”

The young man said, "Just because the author can write a boring history so interesting and exciting, I also want to support the author." ”

Li Wenhua smiled and said no more.

After settling the bill, I walked out of the bookstore, and my girlfriend was already waiting on the side of the road, and she ran forward quickly.

Changjiang Publishing House, Dinghai Branch, Editor-in-Chief Office.

Assistant Xiaoma walked quickly to Du Wenhai's office with a sales statistics report of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" in his hand, and said to Du Wenhai urgently, "Editor-in-Chief Du, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is selling out, major bookstores are selling out, and our three reception phones are about to burst, all of them are urging books. ”

Hearing this, Du Wenhai stood up excitedly, took the sales statistics report of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" from Xiao Ma's hand, scanned it roughly with his eyes, and then instructed his assistant Xiao Ma, "Hurry up and notify the printing house to print it." ”

Pony asked Du Wenhai, "Editor-in-chief Du, I need to inform them how many copies to print." ”

Du thought for a while and said, "Just 10w million copies." ”

"Okay, I'll go and tell the printing house to reprint." The pony responded, turned and walked briskly out of the editor-in-chief's office.

"Okay, it worked." After the pony left, Du Wenhai laughed.

The first printing of 10,000 copies was sold out in just three days, indicating that the book has the potential to become a super bestseller of the year, and it is believed that over time, through the word of mouth of readers who have bought the book, it will attract more people to the bookstore to buy the book.

He secretly made a decision in his heart, and this year he will use this book as a key promotion and cooperate with the distribution of goods to major bookstores across the country.

With the company's key publicity, national distribution, and word-of-mouth publicity, if it sells well, it is possible that "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" will sell more than one million copies in the second half of this year.

Now the key is to first win the publishing rights of the other six novels of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", if they are preempted by other publishing houses, everything will be in vain.

The first time I talked about it, I was too wrong, no one thought that a history book with a different kind of humorous writing would sell so hot, if I could take the initiative to increase the manuscript fee to 8/100, 9/100 may be taken together with the next six, and now it is very passive, the initiative is in the hands of the other party, if the other party increases the manuscript fee to 11/100, 12/100 I can only grit my teeth and agree, who called "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" sold so hot.

Thinking of this, Du Wenhai picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, is it Chen Dong? I want to treat you to dinner to celebrate the big sale of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", do you have time? ”

"Okay, Grand Shonan Hotel, see you at 4 o'clock."

I made an appointment at 4 p.m. to have dinner at the Daxiangnan Hotel at the entrance of Dinghai University.

He secretly made a decision in his heart, this time no matter what the price, he must take down the last six parts of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and win the publishing copyright of this book.

Grand Shonan Hotel, Plum Blossom Hall.

There are only two people, Chen Dong and Du Wenhai, the dishes are very rich, chopped pepper fish head, West Lake vinegar fish, braised lion's head, seaweed egg soup.

Du Wenhai picked up the wine glass and toasted to Chen Dong, and said, "The novel sold very well, 10,000 copies were sold in three days, and I would like to talk about the publishing rights of the other six novels." ”

Chen Dong nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Du Wenhai pondered for a while and said, "How about adding another 3 percentage points to the share of the first part." ”

Plus 3 percentage points is a 10/100 share of the manuscript fee, and the general best-selling author's remuneration share, as a newcomer without any fame, can get the same remuneration as the best-selling author, which is very good.

However, Chen Dong knows that "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has sold more than 10 million copies in 5 years, with an average of more than 2 million copies a year.

Chen Dong shook his head and said, "Editor-in-chief Du, I won't agree to this remuneration share, I calculated it, I sold 10,000 copies in 3 days, this is still the number of copies sold without publicity, 100,000 copies a month, and more than one million copies can be sold a year, according to the sales statistics report of domestic novels, the cumulative circulation of about 50,000 copies a year is a general bestseller, more than 20w copies are relatively bestsellers, reaching 50w or 1 million copies is a super bestseller, according to the sales of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is a super bestseller, I'm going to get 15/100 of the remuneration. ”

In the original time and space, the 12/100 remuneration is divided into authors like Han Han, 15/100 authors like Yi Zhongtian, Yi Zhongtian's most famous novel, Yi Zhongtian's Three Kingdoms, has not sold so many copies of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", so it is not much to get 15/100 remuneration, you must know that the publisher will always take the lion's share.

Hearing this, Du Wenhai smiled wryly, but he couldn't refuse this share, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" sold 1w copies in three days without publicity, if you add the company's vigorous publicity and readers' word-of-mouth publicity, it will easily sell more than one million copies in a year, although the author will take 15/00 of the remuneration, but the publishing house earns more.
