What Should I Do If the System Forces Me To Copy Books?

Dong Sicheng personally greeted Li Chungang and Luo Wen at the lobby of Manjinghua Publishing Company.

This is the first time for Li Chungang to come to the headquarters of Manjinghua Publishing Company, and his feeling is completely different from that of Longteng. Compared with the latter, the former will appear busier, and he will see many people running around along the way. handle things.

But in Longteng, the solution to work matters is more of a group that communicates with them internally.

"This is the contract of "Kyushu: Misty Records", you should read it first!"

Young people understand young people better. After taking a seat in Dong Sicheng's office, he doesn't like to make tea for visitors like the editor-in-chief of Brilliance. There is a small refrigerator in the corner of his office, and he takes out two bottles of Feizhai Happy Water from it. Pass it to two people.

While Li Chungang opened the contract, Luo Wen explained to him in detail the points that need to be paid attention to in the contract.

1. The publishing fee for the first volume is as high as 6 million yuan, which is as much as 5 times higher than that of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". 10,000 copies, the publication fee for the next volume will be a 20% premium, which means the publication fee for the second volume will be 7.2 million.

Regarding this publication fee, Li Chungang might have cared a lot about it in the past, but now he just glanced at it and stopped paying attention to it. He has already learned from Luo Wen the total number of sales of the four volumes of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and also learned that the real bulk of the publishing income is the royalties.

He was not in a hurry to continue reading the content of the contract, but asked a very curious question: "I don't know how much is the royalties for the first issue of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"?"

100 million. "Dong Sicheng said very calmly after taking a sip of the fat house happy water.

"How many!?"

One hundred million, how many times I say this number. But don't get me wrong, this is basically about 90% of the income of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". I estimate that the income of the second and third phases will be more than one million. "Dong Sicheng was afraid that Li Chungang would misunderstand, so he explained it to him.

Books are not consumables, they are basically a one-shot deal!

Whether you buy it back for collection or give it away, no one will buy the same book repeatedly. In addition, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was first serialized on Longteng, and most people have already read the contents of the book. I bought it back more because I like it, so I want to buy it back as a collection.

So the royalties for the first issue will be divided into 100 million" which is almost 90% of the potential of the book "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

There may be readers who will buy it in the future, but there will definitely not be many of them.

The royalties of their publishing house are settled every three months. Basically, after two issues of a book, their publishing house will choose to stop publishing and selling until all the remaining inventory is sold out.

In the final analysis, the publishing results of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" are success and failure!

The success is because of the online serialization, there are so many readers who like this book; the failure is because it has also become a shackle that restricts the sales of physical books to a higher level.

Even after drinking a few sips of fat house happy water, Li Chungang temporarily suppressed the surprise and excitement in his heart. As for why Luo Wen didn't react at all after hearing this number, you must know that 5% of the 217.6 million is more than one thousand Wan!

That's because Luo Wen is more concerned about his royalties than Li Chungang. He couldn't wait to ask Dong Sicheng a week after the release of "Ghost Blowing LanternⅢ Yunnan Worm Valley" and "Ghost Blowing LanternⅣ Kunlun Shrine". No bragging, when Luo Wen heard this number, his performance was even worse than that of Li Chungang at this time, because he was too excited and moved too much, almost overturning the tea table in front of him.

Second, the royalties are directly given to the top of 25%! Among all the authors cooperating with Manjinghua Publishing Company, this value is also the highest. Only four have the same treatment as Li Chungang, but these four readers have all passed the test of the market, and their published works exceed three digits A best-selling author like Li Chungang, the first book is still a newcomer's treatment, and the second book is the top treatment...

Only this one, no semicolon!

If you gain something, you will naturally pay, because Dong Sicheng has only read the first tens of thousands of words of "Kyushu·缘缘罗" at present, unlike "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" which has already been affirmed by the domestic market when it was published, so they are full of Jinghua. The publishing company or Dong Sicheng is taking a huge risk and betting big.

3. If the performance of "Jiuzhou · Misty Record" does not meet expectations, Manjinghua Publishing Company has the right to suspend and continue to perform the terms of the contract at any time.

Li Chungang nodded in agreement with what Dong Sicheng clearly wrote in the contract.

He knows his own affairs and "Kyushu Misty Record". The problem is that others don't know. Now Dong Sicheng dares to make such a heavy bet just by relying on tens of thousands of words at the beginning, which proves how capable he is. Believe in Li Chungang.

Vote for me with a peach, and give me Qiongyao.

This is the principle of life and conduct that Li Chungang believes in.

The rest of the contract is irrelevant, and Li Chungang has no objection to this contract. He did not doubt whether Luo Wen had reached any secret agreement with Dong Sicheng in private. You can tell by signing your name.

Dong Sicheng took over the signed contract from Li Chungang, and carefully stored it in a drawer in his office for safekeeping.

"By the way! I almost forgot to congratulate you on "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" for being shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 'Golden Bookmark Award'."

"It's also thanks to Dong Shao, your recommendation."

"With little effort, even if our publisher doesn't recommend you, I believe Brilliance will recommend you in the end."

What Dong Sicheng said was correct. Longteng also had quotas for recommending works, but there were so many god-level web writers, it was really uncertain whether it would be Li Chungang's turn.

Li Chungang can still tell the truth from the scene. Regardless of whether Long Teng recommended him or not, at least it seems that Dong Sicheng recommended his "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". He accepted this love!

"wait for me a while!"

Dong Sicheng dropped such a sentence, no matter what, the two left the office straight away.

After returning to the office in more than ten minutes, the difference is that Dong Sicheng's left and right hands are carrying exquisite packaging bags. Just from the LOGO printed on the packaging bags, it can be seen that they are all from luxury brands.

"This is a gift I prepared for you, you can see if it suits you."

After speaking, he opened the bags one by one, took out the clothes from inside, and threw them to Li Chungang, not forgetting to explain to him:

"LUBIAM just launched a brand new suit this summer. This is one of my favorite Italian brands. It is handmade with a century-old history. I believe you will like it too."

"Gucci belt and shoes."

"And this white bottoming shirt."

Li Chungang said that he had never heard of a century-old Italian brand, but Dong Sicheng would not make it up to deceive him, but Gucci, an internationally renowned luxury brand, had heard of it. Finally, he took the white shirt and asked curiously. road:

"What about this white shirt, and which luxury brand is it?"

"Taobao brand, free shipping for 99 yuan!"
