Chapter 15

"Human Disqualification" is just a short and medium-sized story of less than 50,000 words.

Even if it is serialized, it will not be serialized for long.

With the suicide of Otin Yezo, the novel also ends.

After the end of the serialization, the impact of "Human Disqualification" on the entire literary world has just begun.

......

New Tide Club, white reception room.

Makoto Kitahara and Yamamoto Kazuno, Ikumi Nagai sat opposite each other.

Hot tea was on the table.

Kitahara Zhen took a sip of tea and moistened his throat and said, "Your company printed for the first time, how much do you plan to print?" "

He came this time at the invitation of Yamamoto Kazuden to discuss the issuance of a single book.

The serialization of "Human Disqualification" in the weekly magazine has ended, and the next step is to print and sell it in a book.

It is also the time to really test "Human Disqualification".

Dongying is, after all, a capitalist society, and everything must be aligned with money.

If you can't make money, even if the artistic component is high, even if the quality is good.

Capital will not waste a single cent on it.

Now the promotion resources that "Human Disqualification" can enjoy will disappear.

Therefore, the release of a single book is related to the commercial value of "Human Disqualification", as well as the commercial value of the author Kitahara Makoto.

Yamamoto and Noboru said with some excitement.

"We intend to print 50,000 copies for the first time!"

"Hmm."

Kitahara really nodded, quite satisfied with the number.

Don't look at the number of 50,000, it seems small.

But the specific situation is analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

First of all, "Human Disqualification" is a literary novel, which is not like a love novel, and commercial books such as light novels are easy to sell (of course, the social impact that the two can cause is not comparable).

Secondly, Kitahara is really a new author.

Unlike some older authors, there is a certain fan base.

For such a 'poor and white' author.

The first time it can print 50,000 copies, it is already that the new tide society is very optimistic about Kitahara Jin.

Like the average newcomer author, the first printing is generally 10,000, 20,000, and if there are 30,000, they will wake up laughing.

And the reason why the publishing house is so cautious.

I have to mention Dongying's 'royalties'.

Dongying's 'royalties' are not to sell first and then share the money with the author.

Instead, give money first, and then sell.

For example, a publishing house prints 50,000 copies, and then the royalty is 10%.

Then when printing begins, the publisher has to give the author the money of the 50,000 royalties.

As for whether the latter 50,000 instincts can be sold out.

It's the publisher's own business.

It has nothing to do with the author.

The operational risk is entirely borne by the publisher itself.

If it can't be sold, it can't be sold, and it loses money, and the publishing house can only suffer by itself.

It is precisely because of this that this has led to the very cautious publishing house of Dongying.

Before each single book is issued, a very rigorous investigation is carried out to accurately control the number of prints.

When it comes to big money, Kitahara Zhen did not hesitate and asked again

"How much are you going to price?"

"2,500 yen, royalty according to industry practice, give you 10%!"

Yamamoto and Noboru replied calmly.

Buying books in Japan is very expensive, but if you buy a comic book, it is better, and one copy is about seven or eight hundred yen.

And like pure literary novels, one book needs thousands to start.

"2,500, 10% royalty, the first 50,000 copies, that is, I can get 12.5 million immediately!"

Kitahara's eyes lit up, more than ten million yen, this was the first time he had seen so much money.

Although I still can't realize my dream of buying a house in Tokyo.

But this amount is already equivalent to three years of income of an ordinary wage earner.

If it is used to improve life, it is enough to live a very rich life.

And that's just the beginning.

In the previous life, "Human Disqualification" set a record-breaking horrific result of 'six million copies'.

The 50,000 copies printed for the first time were definitely not enough to buy.

For each subsequent additional printing, Kitahara can really receive a royalty fee.

And according to industry practice, if the number of printed books exceeds half a million, the royalty will be increased to 20%, directly doubling.

Plus the library, quotes... and some other miscellaneous expenses.

A copy of "Human Disqualification" is comparable to a gold mine, which can bring him a huge income every year.

If it goes well, only rely on this book "Human Disqualification".

Even if Kitahara Shin doesn't start writing books now.

It was enough for him to live a prosperous life for the rest of his life.

Of course, Kitahara Zhen will definitely not be satisfied with this only one "Human Disqualification".

In his previous life, through the Internet, he saw the real luxury life of those rich people.

Tens of millions of dollars of yachts, millions of dollars of sports cars, hundreds of millions of mansions, islands bought for hundreds of millions, and all kinds of luxury enjoyments, all kinds of luxury goods.

Spending money like flowing water, dazzling, more emperor than the emperor.

And where is he now?

It's hard to live again, and I have an advantage that others can't match.

I dare not say that I stepped on the top of the world.

But how can you make a net worth of billions of dollars, right?

It is better to leave behind a large rich family with more than three generations.

In the top forces of this world, stick a foot in the foot.

This is truly worth the trip!

After Yamamoto and Noboru basically finalized the terms of cooperation.

Kitahara Makoto soon signed a contract with Shinshoshisha.

The contract included the royalties to be paid to him by the New Tide Society and the timing of the payment.

At the same time, he must also cooperate with the propaganda of the New Tide Society.
