With the strong recommendation of the literary bigwig He Shouchang, "Love and Sex" can be regarded as famous in one fell swoop, as long as it is the area where the "World Journal" is published, this newcomer's new work that no one has heard of has been snapped up by readers who like to see works with depth and connotation in a very short period of time.

Of course, this is not to say that the sales of "Love and Sex" are terrifying, but because the first printing of this work is only 10,000 copies, and the area where it is listed is mainly in Suzhou City, and only 2,000 copies are sold outside the scope of Suzhou.

Therefore, it is precisely because the number of "Love and Sex" listed outside Suzhou is too small that it will be "sold out".

Obviously, Ling Jingsu, who published "Love and Sex" for Wang Defu, is not very optimistic about the sales of this single book, or rather, is not optimistic about its sales in the short term.

Needless to say, Wang Defu chose to pursue connotation and depth, betraying the public readers, and his pen name "Ms. Yiren" is not a literary bigwig, such works don't sell on the street, so who hits the street?

Even Wang Defu himself was mentally prepared that the sales of "Love and Sex" would not be too high, so he also felt that Ling Jingsu was interesting enough, and he also gave the first printing of 10,000 copies of "Love and Sex", and he didn't know if the 10,000 copies would be sold out.

But neither Wang Defu nor Ling Jingsu expected that "Love and Sex" would be named and recommended by literary bigwigs.

So before they knew about it, Ling Jingsu was still in her editor-in-chief's office, comforting Wang Defu, she said: "The sales of "Love and Sex" in the first week have been counted, there are 1,500 copies, this sales are still good, "Love and Sex" is priced at 200 copper texts, and your royalties are 10%, so you sold 1,500 copies, and you got another 30 silver dollars, which is still very good, do you want this money now?" ”

Wang Defu came here, but he came to say goodbye to Ling Jingsu, because he had already packed his things and was ready to go home for the New Year.

Of course, before going home, he will also go to the magic capital to buy a newly listed black and white TV, the price is 80 silver dollars, which is equivalent to 8,000 yuan in the world where he once was.

Wang Defu doesn't think this price is too expensive, after all, it is the latest new electrical appliance on the market, and it is worth this price.

Wang Defu's "Love and Sex", which cost 3 silver dollars for 1,000 words, has brought him nearly 600 silver dollars, in addition to the expenses of more than two months, he still has more than 400 silver dollars, and 80 silver dollars to buy a black and white TV set is more than enough, and this can prove to his family that even if he has no financial resources from the family, he can easily live!

In fact, he is already very lavish in spending, he will invite his classmates to dinner and drink when he has nothing to do, and he will take his sister Wang Moer out of the restaurant, even so, he still has so much money to spare, and even earned the next year's tuition, does he still need to be constrained by his family?

In fact, since he became famous in the literary world with an article "The Subservient Status of Women", many newspapers and magazines have taken the initiative to ask him for manuscripts, which is the power of fame.

Wang Defu did not refuse the manuscript, and even accepted the invitation of the famous prose magazine "Meiwen" at the invitation of his friend Zhu Moche, and after "Listening to the Snow Night", he wrote an essay called "The Lotus of Purity", which is only more than 1,000 words, but it shows the gorgeous and splendid of his writing to the fullest, and is published in "Meiwen", which can be said to complement each other.

Writing such a short and concise prose, of course, the manuscript fee is very small, only 1 silver dollar, but his fame has increased a lot, and after the prose is published more, these essays will be collected and published, so that the royalties will be considerable, after all, it is estimated that he will have the title of "essayist" at that time, and then he will be recommended by the big man who appreciates his prose, and the sales of his prose collection will naturally go up.

When Wang Defu heard Ling Jingsu's words at this time, he couldn't help waving his hand and said, "I'm not short of money for the time being." Don't say this kind of comforting words, "Love and Sex" made the magazine sell 50,000 at the beginning, and now it only sells 1,500 in the first week, and the market is real enough, this is all my own problem, it's hard for you. ”

Ling Jingsu heard Wang Defu say this, if it were another writer, she was afraid that she would be angry and scolded, a good bestseller can be made like this, it's just hateful!

However, when she saw Wang Defu's face, she couldn't get angry at all, but she said more softly: "Works with connotation and depth, you don't need to look at short-term sales, you need to look at long-term sales, I believe that with time, the sales of "Love and Sex" will get better and better." ”

At this time, Ling Jingsu's closed office actually broke into an uninvited guest, only to see this person wearing a sloppy robe, a melon skin hat, and a messy beard, dressed as an old-fashioned poor literati.

He saw Ling Jingsu and Wang Defu sitting next to each other, like a pair of beautiful people, and they were both dressed very fashionable and modern, he didn't dare to look at it, just made a gesture, and then explained his intention.

This person's name is Kong Lu, and he turned out to be the creator of "Desire for Life", which followed the trend of "Love and Sex", and this time he came to increase the manuscript fee.

"I heard that the author of "Love and Sex", the manuscript fee is 1,000 words 3 silver dollars, and she is just a newcomer, the same as in the next, but the manuscript fee is only 1,000 words 1 silver dollar, and now the "Desire for Life" single book is on the market, and the sales volume in the first week is 4500 copies, far exceeding "Love and Sex", so I feel ...... in the next."

Kong Lu's request was reasonable, but Ling Jingsu didn't increase the manuscript fee so happily for this person, but she didn't know how to refuse this person for a while, so she could only secretly blame the staff who led this person to the editor-in-chief's office.

However, at this moment, Ling Jingsu's assistant suddenly came to her office in a hurry, and said loudly: "Editor-in-chief Ling, the first printing of 10,000 copies of "Love and Sex" has been sold out, hurry up and reprint it, and the second edition of this book is better to be redesigned!" For details, please take a look at this "World Journal"! ”
