Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter 29 Marketing Methods

The publishing industry in the United States is very developed, let alone 2009, even in the future 2017, it will still be the same.

In addition to the crackdown on piracy, it also has a lot to do with Americans' reading habits.

"I have contacted several publishing houses for you, and they are all very willing to publish your novel."

Lawyer Sith looked at Wen Ming with very strange eyes. He still hasn't figured out how Wen Ming managed to complete such a wonderful novel in such a short period of time. Wen Ming hadn't shown any relevant talent before.

The main story of "Robinson Crusoe" is not much different from Wen Ming's experience. It is also a person who was stranded on a deserted island. The biggest difference is that Wen Ming only stayed on the desert island for more than four months, while Robinson stayed for twenty-eight years.

However, literature always needs embellishment and exaggeration. Even if it is adapted from real events, it needs to be beautified or uglified to a certain extent, so as to attract the audience more.

"This is some of the conditions they gave, and I think they are all good."

With that said, Sith handed a folder to Wen Ming, which contained the contract templates given by several publishing houses.

Whether it was Wen Ming's previous life or this life, it was the first time he came into contact with a real publishing contract, so he didn't know much about the terms of it. What he mainly looks at is when these publishing houses will be able to publish his book.

His time was running out, and he had to save time.

Moreover, the sooner it is published, the sooner it can be seen whether there will be a disaster using the technology and knowledge in the movie dream.

"I want to choose this one."

After Wen Ming finished reading, he told Sith about his choice, and Sith nodded and said, "I also think this one is better. Although the royalties of other companies are relatively higher, they are not published by him." Fast."

David, who stayed by the side all the time, asked a little puzzled: "Why not choose the one with high royalties? Aren't we going to make money now?"

Sith shook his head and said: "Because now is the time when Wen Ming is the most famous, and there will be some shows in the next few days. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to promote Wen Ming's novels, it will have a great impact on sales. Big help."

"Conversely, if we accept relatively high royalties, then by the time they publish, the enthusiasm for Wen Ming's matter may have passed. At that time, no matter how high the royalties are, the sales will not increase. It's useless."

David nodded suddenly, he didn't know much about these.

Wen Ming laughed and said: "Small profits but quick turnover. When my products are not absolutely competitive, this is the only way to make money and fame."

Although it is very small to earn small profits, if the amount is large, it is no small matter.

Wen Ming clearly remembered a certain mobile phone brand in his previous life. Its products did not have any core competitiveness at all, but relying on high configuration, low price, and playing hunger marketing, it completely occupied the forefront of the mobile phone industry.

There are also two brands of mobile phones. The boss is actually one person. The two mobile phones under his name are advertised crazily. Relying on this method, it can be regarded as the leader in the mobile phone industry.

In the final analysis, these methods are still because their own products do not have core competitiveness, so they can only rely on marketing methods to increase sales and increase brand influence.

What Wen Ming has to do now is almost exactly the same as theirs. He wants to finalize the publishing contract with the publishing house as soon as possible, and then use his recent popularity in the United States to hit the sales of new books.

When the sales are good, the publicity will further keep up, and then increase the sales again.

David said helplessly: "Wen Ming,

I think your book is very well written, even if you don't rely on these methods, it can still sell well. Not only is the experience on the desert island very realistic, but also about your mental activities on the desert island, the wild man you imagined. By the way, Wen Ming, is the savage you imagined because of racial discrimination? "

In "Robinson Crusoe", when the hero lived on a deserted island for 24 years, a group of savages went to the island. They were going to kill and eat one of the savage captives. Robinson rescued the savage, and Call it Friday.

Wen Ming laughed and said: "For me, Friday is a savage imagined, because life on a deserted island is really lonely. But for Robinson, that savage actually exists. Of course, You can also understand that the plot has something to do with racial discrimination."

Sith said: "If there is a racial innuendo, the sales of this book will be better. At that time, I will communicate with the publisher on the promotion."

David shook his head helplessly. He didn't object to Wen Ming and others using marketing methods to promote the sales of novels, but he felt that there would be a market for good things, and there was no need for these methods.

Wen Ming is actually very helpless in his heart. The knowledge he has now will definitely allow him to launch products with real core competitiveness, such as a series of products from Apple.

There must be marketing methods, but the real reason why Apple can be popular all over the world is the core competitiveness of its products.

Just like Wen Ming's previous domestic mobile phone overlord Huawei, after its rise, it invested tens of billions of RMB in research every year, which was more than the sum of the research funds of 39 985 institutes. In 2016, the investment in scientific research funds reached 60.6 billion yuan, ranking eighth in the world.

The purpose of investing so much is to enhance their core competitiveness.

Just like Samsung, their research funding in 2016 reached 90.3 billion yuan, ranking second in the world after Volkswagen in Germany. Apple is relatively small, only 8 billion U.S. dollars, equivalent to only 53.4 billion yuan, not as good as Huawei.

Huawei's research funding exceeds Apple's, but its profits are far less than Apple's, because they are still in the period of improving their core competitiveness of products, while Apple has already completed this process, and now naturally requires less investment Some.

Wen Ming does not need research funding, does not need to invest 90.3 billion or 60.6 billion yuan, or 8 billion U.S. dollars every year, and spend many years researching those new technologies. Because the technologies that Apple has spent hundreds of billions of dollars on over the past few decades have all been stored in his brain.

But what if there is only technology?

Car geeks say that a car is just four wheels plus a sofa, but where do you get the wheels? Where can I get the sofa?

There is no such thing as creating something out of nothing. Wen Ming has absolute core competitiveness, but he has no way to manifest those core competitiveness.

"Ask them to sign the contract as soon as possible. As long as the contract is signed, I can promote this novel on the show."

Wen Ming looked at the back of Sith leaving in a hurry, and was very moved, including David who stayed behind, and James and Cage who were helping him outside, they can be said to be the nobles he hit.

Without the help of these people, he might still be worried about his treatment fee, or he might already be preparing to sell some of the knowledge he has acquired at a low price.

"Not to mention anything else, your life will definitely be rich and prosperous!"

Wen Ming made an oath in his heart, and added: "The premise is that I will not die!"
