Chapter 33 Hot Sale
It took only about an hour to determine that the publication of "Heroes", "Kunlun" and "The Times That Can't Go Back" by Bookworm Publishing House, to the agreed royalties, and most of the time was Mo Ziqi's overview of Bookworm Publishing House.
The agreed royalty of the three novels is 15%, which is the price of the sales volume of the first 100,000 copies. If it can be sold for more than 100,000 copies, it is 20%.
The royalties for new writers are generally between 3% and 8%, few of which are more than 8%, and most of them are 5%. Lin Jing's three novels are very popular, which is no less than many first-line martial arts novels. However, because she is still a newcomer, she has never published any novels and has not received any proof in this regard, so the initial price offered by Ming Pao to Lin Jing is 8%, and the higher of "Oriental Daily" is only 10%.
If the negotiations continue, Lin Jing believes that Ming Pao can increase to 10%, while Oriental Daily can increase to 12%, which is two percentage points.
But it is impossible to reach 15% at once.
Bookworm Publishing House can have such high royalties. First, Lin Jing's novels are very popular. Second, Bookworm Publishing House wants to get out of the predicament by publishing these three novels. Third, it is naturally Liang Yining's role in it. 20% of the part is determined according to her requirements.
The 20% royalty is an almost unattainable sky-high price for any writer. It is said that since there are civilizations, literatures and royalties on earth, the last one who has enjoyed the 20% royalty rate was Hu Shi. The royalty rate he set for his book was 15% for the first edition and 20% for the reprint. It is said that since there are civilizations, literatures and royalties on earth, the last one who has enjoyed 20% for the royalty rate was Hu Shi. The royalty rate he set for his book was 15% for the first edition and 20% for the reprint. It is a stubborn rule that he will never publish a book.
Lin Jing didn't know whether the truth was like this.
In fact, if the news of Lin Jing getting 15% of the royalties is spread, I don’t know how many writers I would envy.
Of course, Jin Yong's martial arts novels are exceptional. His novels are published in Xiangjiang by his own publishing house, and the royalties are of little significance to him. Anyway, they are all the money for his left bag and right bag. No matter how high the price is, it is just that the money for the left bag is less and the money for the right bag is more.
The price of each volume of "Heroes" and "Kunlun" in the paperback is set at 12 yuan, and each volume of "Those Times I Can't Go Back" is 15 yuan. After all, "Heroes" and "Kunlun" are both martial arts novels with a long length, while "Those Times I Can't Go Back" only has 400,000 words, which is just two episodes.
The number of first printed books of the three novels is 50,000 each, which is a relatively conservative number compared to the popularity of the novel.
But just the first number of prints of these three novels brought Lin Jing nearly 300,000 yuan.
It can be said that from the beginning of time travel, at this moment, Lin Jing was truly getting rid of poverty, and she had not much spare money in her pocket. Of course, compared with the families at the bottom of Xiangjiang, she was a little rich. At least she didn't have to worry about the backlog of debts, and she had no worries about food and clothing.
Because Liang Yining's father had a wide range of connections, the distribution system of Bookworm Publishing House was also relatively complete, and the general manager Mo Ziqi had a strong ability, so it only took a very short time from signing a contract, applying for a book number, and entering the printing factory to printing the novel, the three novels were operated and listed.
"Beautiful girl writer Lin Jingli's work "Heroics" is on the market!"
The title similar to this one was replaced by "Kunlun" and "Those Times I Can't Go Back", and soon appeared in almost all newspapers in Xiangjiang at the same time.
Some of the news that is similar to advertisements are indeed advertisements, and most of them are just newspapers' own reports.
The relationship between Lin Jing and Ming Pao and Oriental Daily did not collapse because of the inability to reach a publication rights of the three novels. As the saying goes, "Buying and Selling are unsuccessful, and they did not hold grudges because of this. Instead, they made detailed reports on the day the three novels were launched.
On the day the three novels were launched, on the morning of the bus.
"Hey, is the book of "Heroes" published?" The male passenger holding a copy of "Ming Pao" on the bus suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Can you lend me a newspaper?" A girl who looked like a middle school student next to her was also happy when she heard the screams of the male passenger, and then asked him timidly.
"Do you like Heroes too?" asked the male passenger in surprise.
"I just like "The Times I Can't Go Back". Some time ago, I heard that three novels by Lin Jing will be launched at the same time, so I want to confirm it." The female middle school student replied carefully.
"Haha, it's okay. The newspaper is given to you. Driver, get off the bookstore in front." The male passenger stuffed the Ming Pao into the hand of the female middle school student, turned around and walked to the door, ready to get off.
It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
Seeing a small blackboard at the door of the bookstore, which read "Heroics", "Kunlun" and "Those Times I Can't Go Back" are available in the line of chalk words, He Jinshui, who secretly slipped off work in advance, rushed into the bookstore excitedly.
"I will get one of "Heroes" and "Kunlun", which is the first episode that I just released today." I remember that after reading "Heroes" and "Kunlun", he strongly fell in love with these two novels, but in order to read it at one time, he endured it until today.
"Heroes and Kunlun? Sorry, sir, there is no more." The female shopping guide at the bookstore replied apologetically.
"You haven't even found it, why did you just say it's sold out so hasty?" He Jinshui learned from his colleague that the physical book of the first episode of "Kunlun" was launched today, and he skipped the shift and came back to buy it. Unexpectedly, this hateful female shopping guide actually told her that there was nothing left.
"There are many customers who bought these two novels. I remember it very clearly. Today, well, it was sold out at around 3:30 in the afternoon."
"The announcement on the small blackboard clearly states that it is available for sale. Are you not a scam?"
"Sir, the announcement was not removed in time and mislead you. I'm very sorry, I'll wipe it off now." The female shopping guide replied.
"Don't leave now, I'll give me one of "Those Times I Can't Go Back". The depressed He Jinshui remembered his girlfriend who had been nagging the book "Those Times I Can't Go Back", and said weakly.
"I'm very sorry, sir, I'm sold out."
"Fuck, what else can you do besides saying you are very sorry?" He Jinshui couldn't help but get angry for a moment.
"I'm very sorry, sir!" The female shopping guide was so scared that she trembled when she saw He Jinshui's hot appearance, and said, "The bookstore here is a good location, so best-selling books are sold faster. Sir, you might as well try another bookstore, maybe there are some ones sold."
He Jinshui looked at the female shopping guide with helpless and aggrieved look, and snorted a few times. Thinking about it, she thought what she said made sense, so she quickly walked away.
In the evening, a family.
"Xiao Ming, I've had a meal..."
"Okay, I'll come."
"I'll come, I'll come. You dead boy, have called you a few times. Come down to me immediately and have a meal!"
"I know, I'll come down now."
"I'm reading "Kunlun" again, and I don't even have to eat. Haven't I read it in the newspaper before?"
"The newspapers are serialized one by one, so there is no whole book that looks so comfortable to hold, and the consistency is different. And I want to review the math problems in it."
"Review, what have you learned?"
"I learned a little bit of ancient arithmetic. Isn't I just busy calculating the math problems."
"Did you figure it out?"
"I almost pulled my ears down for you."
"So should I go back and calculate clearly?"
"No need, my ideas have been interrupted. How can I take it so easily? Eating now is important."
"Boy, I want to open the dyeing vat if I give you three points of color?"
Bookworm Publishing House, General Manager's Office.
"The 50,000 copies of the first printed "Heroes", "Kunlun" and "Those Times I Can't Go Back" have been sold out from major bookstores."
"Immediately print it, print 100,000 copies. With these 100,000 copies, the Hong Kong market is probably about the same, and Taiwan is also ready to start."
