Chapter 33 Hot Sales

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

From the confirmation of the publication of "Heroes", "Kunlun" and "Those Times That Can't Go Back" by Bookworm Publishing House to the negotiation of royalties, it only took about an hour, and most of the time was used by Mo Ziqi to introduce the overview of Bookworm Publishing House.

The agreed royalty for the three novels is 15%, which is the price for the first 100,000 copies sold, or 2o% if it can be sold above 100,000 copies.

The royalties of new writers are generally between 3% and 8%, rarely more than 8%, and most of them are 5%. Lin Jing's three novels are very popular, and they are not far behind many first-line martial arts novels, but because she is still a newcomer, she has never published any novels, and she has not received any proof in this regard, so the initial price offered by "Ming Pao" to Lin Jing is 8%, and the price of "Oriental Daily" is a little higher, only 1o%.

If the negotiations continue, Lin Jing believes that "Ming Pao" can increase to 1o%, and "Oriental Daily" to 12%, that is, two percentage points.

But it is impossible to reach 15% all at once.

Bookworm Publishing House can have such a high royalty give, firstly, naturally Lin Jing's novels are very popular, secondly, Bookworm Publishing House wants to publish these three novels through guò to get out of the predicament, and third, it is naturally Liang Yinning's role in it, and the 2o% part is set according to her requirements.

The 2o% royalty is an almost unattainable price for any writer, and it is said that since there has been a civilization and literature on the earth, the last one to enjoy the 2o% royalty rate was Hu Shi. At that time, he set a royalty rate of 15% for the first edition and 2% for the second edition, below which he resolutely did not publish the book.

Whether this is the case or not, Lin Jing doesn't know.

In fact, not to mention the 2o% royalty, that is, if the news that Lin Jing gets 15% of the royalty spreads, I don't know how many writers will be envied.

Of course, Jin Yong's martial arts novels are exceptional. The publishing of his novels in Xiangjiang is run by his own publishing house, and the royalties are of little meaning to him at all, anyway, they are all his own left and right pockets of money. No matter how high it is, it is just a little less money in the left bag and a little more money in the right bag.

The price of the paperback "Heroes" and "Kunlun" is set at 12 yuan per volume, and the price of "Those Times That Can't Go Back" is 15 yuan per volume, after all, "Heroes" and "Kunlun" are both very long martial arts novels, and "Those Times That Can't Go Back" is only 400,000 words, and there are only two episodes.

The first printing of each of the three novels is 50,000, which is a relatively conservative number relative to the popularity of the novels.

But just the first printing of these three novels brought Lin Jing nearly 3o yuan in income.

It can be said that from the beginning of the crossing, to this moment, Lin Jing can be regarded as really taking off the hat of poverty, and there is not too much spare money in his pocket. Of course, compared with the families at the bottom of Xiangjiang, it is a little rich. At least you don't have to worry about the backlog of debt, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing.

Because Liang Yinning's parents have a relatively wide range of contacts, the system of the Bookworm Publishing House is also relatively perfect, and Mo Ziqi, the general manager, is even more capable, so from signing the contract, to applying for the book number, to the novel entering the printing house for printing, it only took a short time for the three novels to be put on the market.

"Beautiful girl writer Lin Jing's masterpiece "Heroes" is shockingly listed!"

The title was similar to this, but the title of the book was changed to "Kunlun" and "Those Times That Can't Go Back", and soon appeared in almost all newspapers in Xiangjiang at the same time.

Some of the news is actually an advertisement, and most of it is just the newspaper's own report.

The relationship between Lin Jing and "Ming Pao" and "Oriental Daily" did not collapse because of the disagreement on the publishing rights of the three novels, as the saying goes, the business does not become benevolent, they did not hold a grudge because of this, but made a detailed report on the day the three novels were listed.

On the day of the launch of the three novels, in the morning, on the bus.

"Hey, has the book "Heroes" been published?" The male passenger on the bus, who was holding a copy of Ming Pao, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Can you lend me a newspaper?" A girl who looked like a middle school student next to her was also overjoyed when she heard the male passenger's shout, and then asked him timidly.

"You also like Heroes?" The male passenger asked in surprise.

"I just like "Those Times That Can't Go Back", and some time ago I heard that Lin Jing's three novels will be released at the same time, so I want to confirm it." The middle school girl replied cautiously.

"Haha, it's okay. The newspaper has been delivered to you, the driver boss, get off the book house in front. The male passenger shoved the Ming Pao newspaper into the hands of the middle school girls, turned around and walked to the side of the door, ready to get off the bus.

In the afternoon, four o'clock sharp.

Seeing a small blackboard at the door of the bookstore, with the lines of chalk writing "Heroes", "Kunlun" and "Those Times That Can't Go Back" on it, He Jinshui, who sneaked off work early, rushed into the bookstore excitedly.

"Give me a copy of "Heroes" and "Kunlun", which is the first episode that just came out today." I think that after he read the first issue of "Heroes" and "Kunlun", he strongly liked these two novels, but in order to be able to read them at one time, he endured it to this day.

"Heroes" and "Kunlun"? Excuse me, sir, but not anymore. The shopper at the bookstore replied apologetically.

"You haven't looked for it, why did you say that it was sold out so hastily?" He Jinshui learned from his colleagues that the physical book of the first episode of "Kunlun" was on the market today, and he deliberately skipped work to come back to buy it, but he didn't expect this hateful female shopping guide to tell her that there was no more.

"There were a lot of customers who bought these two novels, and I remember very well that today, well, they were sold out around half past three in the afternoon."

"The announcement on the small blackboard clearly says that it is for sale, aren't you lying?"

"Sir, the announcement was not taken down in time to mislead you, I'm very sorry, I'll wipe it off." The female shopping guide replied.

"Don't go yet, give me a copy of "Those Times You Can't Go Back." He Jinshui, who was depressed, remembered his girlfriend who had been nagging about the book "Those Times That Can't Go Back", and said weakly.

"I'm sorry, sir, it's sold out too."

", what else can you do other than say you're very sorry?" He Jinshui couldn't help but get angry for a while.

"I'm so sorry, sir!" When the female shopping guide saw He Jinshui's hot appearance, she trembled with fright, and the corners of her mouth trembled and said, "Our bookstore here is in a good location, so the bestsellers are selling faster, sir, you might as well go to another bookstore to try, maybe there are still some to sell." ”

He Jinshui looked at the female shopping guide with a helpless and aggrieved face, snorted a few times, and thought about it and felt that what she said made sense, so he walked away quickly.

In the evening, a certain family.

"Xiao Ming, it's time to eat......"

"Okay, I'll come."

"I'll come, I'll come, you dead boy, I've called you a few times, come down for me immediately and eat!"

"Got it, I'll come down now."

"I'm watching "Kunlun" again, I don't even have to eat, haven't I read it in the newspaper before?"

"The newspapers are all serialized one by one, and the whole book looks pleasant to hold, the coherence is different, and I want to review the math problems in it."

"Review, what have you learned?"

"I learned a little bit of ancient arithmetic, and I was busy calculating the math problems just now."

"Did you figure it out?"

"I'm almost pulling your ears down."

"Then do you want to go back and figure it out?"

"No need, my train of thought has been interrupted, where can I take it so easily, it's important to eat now."

"Stinky boy, give you three points of color and want to open a dye vat?"

Bookworm Publishing House, General Manager's Office.

"The first 50,000 copies of "Heroes", "Kunlun" and "Those Times That Can't Go Back" have all been sold out according to feedback from major bookstores."

"Immediately reprinted, 100,000 copies more. With these 100,000 copies, the Xiangjiang market is estimated to be almost over, and Taiwan is ready to start. ”
