1025: Suddenly want to meet my son's friends (1 more)
600,000 copies?
Wen Ying really dares to guess!
Zou Weijun laughed and teased: "You're still not brave enough."
A rush of hot blood rushed straight to Wen Ying's forehead.
From what I hear, is it more than 600,000 copies?
"Aunt Zou, how much is it..."
Zou Weijun didn't like to titillate people, so he teased Wen Ying and quickly gave Wen Ying a happy surprise: "721124 volumes!"
720,000 copies!
"Teen Idol" has been on the market for half a year and has sold a total of 1.289 million copies, only a few hundred copies shy of reaching 1.29 million copies. This is something Wen Ying never expected before publishing the book.
"How come there are so many?"
Wen Ying murmured subconsciously, and Zou Weijun laughed even louder: "Of course it's because your book is good-looking. With effective publicity, sales of a good book will explode. This is normal!"
The essay contest is the best publicity for "Spark" magazine, and the same is true for Wen Ying.
Yuan Fenghui asked Wen Ying, Li Mengjiao, Yun Chen and Zhang Yangning to shoot a promotional video. The last three were all entertainment stars, but Wen Ying was the only one who was a writer. Naturally, the most attention in the essay competition fell on Wen Ying.
Those controversies contributed to the sales of "Teen Idol".
Mr. Fu's voice has allowed more people to evaluate "Teen Idol" and Wen Ying personally from a fair standpoint.
There was such a big commotion and 720,000 copies were sold in the second quarter. Zou Weijun thinks it is quite reasonable.
Xie Qian was listening to Zou Weijun's phone call and had already calculated Wen Ying's pre-tax income: 721124*15%*32, which is about 3.4614 million.
This number is not yet Wen Ying's final royalty income. According to the contract signed between Wen Ying and the publishing house, the total sales volume exceeded 1 million copies, and the royalties settled in the early stage will also be replenished at a rate of 15%.
In the first quarter, 568,329 copies were sold, which was settled at a 14% royalty rate. The publisher also had to pay 1% to Wen Ying, which is 181,800.
In total, the royalty income Wen Ying can receive this time is 3.643 million.
Of course, this is pre-tax income, and the publishing house will help Wen Ying pay the tax.
Even after tax, "Youth Idol" earned Wen Ying 5 million...equivalent to the first prize of a lottery ticket.
The probability of winning a lottery ticket is too small. Xie Qian has always believed that lottery tickets are an IQ tax.
Creation is different.
In addition to financial returns, high sales volume shows that Wen Ying's works have been recognized by a large number of readers, and spiritual pleasure may outweigh financial returns.
"Teenage Idol" is Wen Ying's first million-selling novel, but it will not be her last.
——The hamster must be very happy now, right?
After Zou Weijun hung up the phone, Xie Qian's phone vibrated immediately.
"I'm rich again!"
"The second season of 'Teen Idol' sold more than 700,000 copies!"
"Xie Qian, are you still short of money?"
Three text messages in a row were enough to show Wen Ying's excitement and excitement.
Zou Weijun hung up the phone first, and Xie Qian received the text message later, so the hamster sent the text message immediately after hanging up the phone, and he was the first person to be notified - this feeling is very strange, there are still people in Chengdu in early February
The weather is cold in spring, but it feels like the warm sun is shining in my heart, and Xie Qian's heartbeat speeds up.
Plop.
Plop, plop, plop.
Once he noticed that his heartbeat frequency was unusual, his heartbeat seemed to be faster and completely out of Xie Qian's control.
Frankly speaking, Xie Qian felt that his mood swings were even greater than when he was negotiating with his scumbag father Xie Jinghu!
Zou Weijun saw Xie Qian looking down at his phone and smiling, and Zou Weijun himself also smiled.
It’s great to be young!
The spring wind blew on Zou Weijun's face. Zou Weijun thought of the days when he had worked hard for his career in the past year and wanted to ask Xie Qian: Can your mother be your role model now?
Zou Weijun didn't ask this question.
She felt it was not enough.
He has published best-selling popular science books, personally discovered millions of best-selling novels, launched "Spark" magazine, and organized an influential essay competition in the industry. These are all the successes of Zou Weijun's career.
Men will lie to women, but the efforts they have put into their careers will not lie to women.
But to be Xie Qian's role model, Zou Weijun feels that she still needs to work harder.
Maybe, it's time to muster up the courage to face something.
Xie Qian is not yet eighteen years old. This child should be enjoying his youth wantonly and having a carefree love, instead of being a fighter in front of her and protecting her cowardly mother.
The corners of Zou Weijun's eyes were moist.
The old mother who was recuperating in Qiongdao kept silent about her abnormal marriage, which was also to protect her.
At this moment, Zou Weijun made a decision. She could no longer hide behind Xie Qian, and she would not let Xie Qian support him alone.
It takes time to move from quantitative change to qualitative change. No one knows how difficult Zou Weijun's qualitative change is. What patients with depression have to overcome is never others, but themselves.
Xie Qian lowered his head to look at his phone and did not see the tears in the corners of Zou Weijun's eyes.
He was thinking about how to reply to Wen Ying's text message.
The input at the beginning was "Are you stupid or not, I will be with my mother", so how could you not know the sales volume of "Teen Idol"?
Not only do you know the sales volume, but you also calculate the royalties!
But this time, it seems to dampen the enthusiasm of the hamster.
Although this hamster has a habit of cocking his tail proudly, he really puts him in a very important position. Before he got the royalties for the second season, he asked him if he was still short of money——
Xie Qian deleted the words he had typed and re-entered:
"I just returned to Chengdu today, let's talk about it later."
…
Ahhhh!
Xie Qian returned to Chengdu.
Wen Ying held the phone and laughed out loud. Afraid that the laughter would attract Lao Wen's sideways gaze, Wen Ying quickly covered her mouth.
Two days ago, she asked Xie Qian when he would return to Chengdu. Xie Qian was tight-lipped and didn't tell her. Unexpectedly, he had already arrived today!
Wen Ying laughed out loud and it was too late to cover her mouth. Wen Dongrong walked over with his hands behind his back and said suspiciously:
"You seem very happy today. Who are you calling?"
Wen Ying put her cell phone away and refused to admit it, "I didn't call anyone. I found the most suitable store. I'm happy for you!"
Wen Ying and her daughter were signing a rental contract with Zhu Meiqun's family.
Wen Dongrong suggested that Zhu Meiqun switch to the fruit business and proposed to partner with Zhu Meiqun. Zhu Meiqun personally visited several stores mentioned by Wen Dongrong and did not make his own decision. Instead, he sought Deng Shangwei's opinion.
In the end, Zhu Meiqun listened to Deng Shangwei and chose the current store.
The store is not big, the house is quite low, and it doesn't look impressive at all.
But it is at a fork in the road, and there are several residential areas walking down the alley. Not to mention the business of selling passers-by, the business of just a few residential areas is enough to support the fruit shop.
Not to mention, one of the forks is the only way to go to the provincial hospital.
In addition to nearby residents who will visit the fruit shop, those visiting patients in the provincial hospital may also stop to buy.
The location of this store is so good that Zhu Meiqun missed it. Naturally, it is not all about its advantages. The shortcomings are not only the short and unobtrusive facade, but also the area of the store is very limited. Including the sleeping compartment at the back, the total area is only about ten square meters.
, it is too restrictive on the types of stores to open.
The rent is even more expensive!
Those who can afford the rent will definitely be willing to rent a larger store.
Zhu Meiqun was willing to believe Deng Shangwei's recommendation because she felt sorry for the rent.
Wen Ying looked at the open space outside the store and had to admit that her uncle had a vicious eye.
"Not only does the aunt want to rent this house, but she also wants to rent it for a few more years. Others may want to take the house back when they see her business is going up."
