329. There are mines in the house
It is no wonder that this time, Shanghai-Nanjing Publishing House defeated a number of cooperative publishers that Qidian has been cooperating with and won the contract with extremely favorable conditions.
They gave 15 points for royalties alone, and there was also a generous signing fee, not only that, but Huning Publishing House also promised that the first printing of one million sets would be paid within half a year, regardless of whether they were sold out or not.
Now that the physical publishing industry is becoming more and more sluggish, there can still be such favorable conditions, and Li Kang, who has the dual identity of editor in charge and brother, did not hesitate to be the main pigeon of the original publishing house, and quickly finalized the contract details with Huning.
A set of 20 books, priced at 600, and the royalties for a set of books are 90 yuan, this Hong Guiyan is really confident in Chen Xiaoli.
You must know that although Chen Xiaoli's book was popular on the Internet before, because there was no excessive hype, and the time since the book was published is not long, various IPs have not yet begun to ferment and monetize, so the sales of the previous two physical books are about 200,000 sets, and the total number of copies can only break 10 million, which is still the sum of the data in the past few years.
Chen Xiaoli's books are actually tepid in reality, which is completely different from the wave her books have caused on the Internet.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Shen desperately bought her books to send, if it is popular, Xu Shen doesn't need to do this, it is also very troublesome to buy books and mail them.
Therefore, the publishing house that Qidian usually cooperates with has taken a great risk by giving the first printing of 200,000 copies when negotiating conditions, but I didn't expect that Shanghai and Nanjing would be even bolder.
Although Chen Xiaoli's book is popular on the Internet, because her movie has not yet been released, her influence has not yet spread to reality.
Although the TV series copyright of the first book has been sold, it has not even started filming, and the movie has not been released, so the future is uncertain.
If it succeeds, the sales of the books will explode, but if you pounce on these books, you will be smashed in your hands.
Huning is also bold, not to mention a series of costs for printing books, the royalties alone will have to give Chen Xiaoli 90 million after half a year, plus the signing fee, they have to drop hundreds of millions of yuan on Chen Xiaoli alone, and they are really not afraid of losing money.
The first printing of one million sets, 20 million copies, how much it costs Li Kang doesn't know, he is doing the Internet, not publishing, but he knows that Hong Guiyan can be said to be gambling with the future of their publishing house!
And even if he doesn't know about the publishing industry, when "On the Road" was about to be published, Li Kang also checked the information, and the first printing is generally estimated according to the sales volume of three months, so if there are too many first printings, even if it is sold in the end, it is a loss to sell it after a backlog of several years.
Therefore, Hong Guiyan must be a poplar fan, because except for poplar powder, no one has the courage to do this, and no one has this confidence in Chen Xiaoli.
Li Kang was even secretly rubbing his suspicions that this editor-in-chief Hong was desperately grabbing this business in order to see Chen Xiaoli.
I have to say, he guessed half right.
The other half is because of Hong Guiyan's unparalleled trust in Chen Xiaoli.
I just don't know that this editor-in-chief Hong is just an editor-in-chief, how can he have such a big right.
And why do you want to cry when you see her? Inexplicable.
The conditions had been finalized the day before yesterday, and after confirming that the contract was correct, Chen Xiaoli decisively signed the contract after Li Kang nodded.
At the moment when Chen Xiaoli put down the pen, the satisfaction in Hong Guiyan's eyes made Li Kang shudder.
Could it be that this is another "I am a little fairy"?
took out his mobile phone, Li Kang looked at the blacklist of QQ and Meow Xin, she stayed in it and didn't jump out, he was relieved.
If it weren't for the cooperation in the future, Li Kang estimated that as soon as he went out, he would immediately put this editor-in-chief Hong, who he was a little afraid of, into the blacklist.
After signing the contract, before Hong Guiyan proposed to leave contact information with Chen Xiaoli, Li Kang hurriedly pulled Chen Xiaoli to say goodbye, so that Hong Guiyan's next words were choked back.
Rice, they won't eat.
Tea is also impossible to drink.
The devil knows if someone will quietly ask for a phone number, add a meow message or something while eating and drinking.
Defense, must be guarded!
Brother Kang is responsible for the life of every younger sister.
Sure enough, on the way back, the news of Hong Guiyan came: "So in a hurry? We still have a lot to talk about. ”
"Signing is impossible, and you know that Poplar never shows his face."
"This ...... I know. Is an audio interview possible? ”
"Editor-in-chief Hong, our contract has been specially supplemented, not to ask Baiyang to cooperate with the publicity in any form, but also to keep her private information confidential, why did you forget the terms after signing the contract Editor-in-Chief Hong?" Li Kang replied.
Although Chen Xiaoli has a dazzling appearance, she herself hates privacy leakage very much and cherishes a peaceful life. Li Kang understands, so he is also trying his best to maintain her privacy.
There is no doubt that Li Kang believes that if it affects real life, Chen Xiaoli will probably close the pen without hesitation.
After dealing with Hong Guiyan, Li Kang went to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables and cook a simple two dishes and one soup by himself.
After the two finished eating, Xie Anqi also sent Li Guoguo back.
The National Day holiday is already the last day, and now they have to go.
It's good that Chen Xiaoli's class is not in such a hurry, but Li Guoguo is about to start school anyway.
In Li Guoguo's teary eyes, Chen Xiaoli gently said thank you to Li Kang.
"You're welcome, you're my sister!" Li Kang rubbed the top of Chen Xiaoli's head affectionately, and bent Chen Xiaoli's eyebrows and eyes.
Of course, it is fortunate that she is not wearing high heels, otherwise Li Kang's posture would definitely not be so chic.
"Goodbye."
"Be careful on the road."
On the way back, Li Kang received a few pictures from Hong Guiyan with the words: "Sample book." ”
“…… Why is Editor-in-Chief Hong so fast? ”
"I was ready before I signed the contract."
"......" thought about it, and Li Kang sent a message: "I don't know what the name of Editor-in-Chief Hong is in the group?" ”
"What group?"
"Poplar God Hardcore Powder Death Group, referred to as Poplar Iron Powder Group."
"There is such a group? Can you add me? ”
"No, this is an old fan."
"Alas, what a pity. She was already working on her third book when I started reading, if I had ...... earlier."
What's the point of regret in these words?
Li Kang couldn't help but think deeply about a question, why there are so many local tyrants among Chen Xiaoli's readers.
Xu Shen and the previous gold alliances are not to mention, Hong Guiyan's hand is even bigger, the signing fee plus royalties alone adds up to nearly 100 million yuan, and they all have mines in their homes?
……
Thanks to the big guy for the provocative reward
