In the afternoon, Bai Ye received a call from Yang Zhan from the TV station.
After Bai Ye picked up the phone, he smiled and said, "Uncle Yang, are you urging me to record the show?"
Yang Zhan laughed: "Well, yes, but there is one more thing. Is it convenient for you now? I have a friend who wants to meet you."
Bai Ye smiled: "I must know the person introduced by Uncle Yang!"
Yang Zhan helped introduce the last printing, which saved a lot of money. Bai Ye also remembered this feeling.
"Okay! Then you wait for me at school and I will drive over to pick you up." Yang Zhan smiled and made an appointment at a time and place.
Bai Ye called Fatty, settled in for a while, and then went out.
Yang Zhan's car is a domestically produced Harvard h9. It is a very new car and looks quite impressive.
The two drove to a bookstore. Bai Ye looked up at the name of the bookstore and followed Yang Zhan into an office.
It was obvious that the other party was waiting for Bai Ye and Yang Zhan. When they saw the two coming in, they quickly stood up to greet them.
"Haha, this is Bai Ye, I've admired him for a long time!" The man looked older, but his demeanor was cheerful.
It's just... Bai Ye felt that it was strange to be told by a man in his forties or fifties that he had admired him for a long time.
"Hello, hello, just call me Xiao Ye." Bai Ye naturally didn't dare to be too big, so he smiled and said.
Yang Zhan then introduced: "Xiaoye, this is a good friend of mine, named Zhou Ling, the owner of this bookstore. Just call me Uncle Zhou. Your Uncle Zhou is very capable."
When Bai Ye heard this, he quickly said: "Hello, Uncle Zhou."
The man laughed and said, "Sit down quickly and I'll ask someone to pour you tea."
………………
………………
After enough polite words, Yang Zhan said: "Your Uncle Zhou is my colleague at the TV station, but he is much more courageous than me. He went into business early in life and now he has opened this chain of bookstores."
Bai Ye had heard of "Taya Bookstore" and took a closer look when he came in. This is a bookstore brand that does well both online and offline.
Zhou Ling smiled: "It's just good luck. I won't be polite to you anymore. Xiaoye, I asked Brother Yang to invite you over today to discuss something with you."
"I want to buy your agency rights for your book "Ignorant Chinese Medicine", national agency rights."
Bai Ye was stunned!
National agency?
Bai Ye thought Zhou Ling wanted to buy the copyright, but he didn't expect that he was buying the agency rights, which made Bai Ye a little curious.
Zhou Ling smiled: "Actually, I also thought about buying the copyright, but I couldn't decide the price. If it was too high, I wouldn't be happy. If it was too low, it would be a bit disrespectful to the book. So, I thought about it.
I decided to buy the agency rights for your book."
"Xiaoye, listen to what I mean. If you think something is inappropriate, let's discuss it again, okay?"
Zhou Ling respected Bai Ye very much. When he spoke, he gave people a very comfortable feeling, and Bai Ye agreed.
Zhou Ling looked at it and said with a smile: "20,000 copies of your book have been printed, so it should be almost sold out, right? We are responsible for all the subsequent printing and sales of this book. You don't have to worry about anything, but...
…You can cooperate with us to promote it when appropriate…”
"As for money, this is how I think about it. For every book, you get 15% of the profit, which means you can get about 3 yuan for every book sold."
"You don't have to worry about anything else. You don't have to worry about the channels, supply, etc. of books, and..."
Bai Ye was thinking about it while listening to Zhou Ling's words.
There are reasons why it is so popular now, and each book can be sold for 25 yuan. For example, there is no piracy, no competition, it is very popular, and there are many traditional Chinese medicine masters who help promote it, as well as students from major schools.
Support and so on.
These are temporary. Once stable, various factors will become more and more important, such as channels, markets, competition, etc.
First of all, he doesn't have that much time to do it, and secondly, he doesn't have that much ability.
Moreover, it’s hard to say how much a book will sell in the end. You don’t have to worry about anything. The copyright is still in your hands. Three yuan for a book is not a lot!
When piracy becomes rampant, Bai Ye doesn't know if he can sell it, but the brand value of "Taya Bookstore" is trustworthy.
The most important thing is that after selling out the 20,000 copies, I can already earn 300,000. The next sales will all be earned without any loss.
After thinking about it clearly, Bai Ye smiled and said, "Then I'll bother you, Uncle Zhou. I took advantage of you."
Zhou Ling waved his hand: "I have booked a master in advance. When I get rich in the future, I can't forget Zhou Shuha. Besides, I took advantage this time."
………………
Bai Ye signed a contract with Zhou Ling that day, and then posted on Weibo that he could buy genuine books at "Taya Bookstore".
After Bai Ye returned to school, he found that everyone was very helpful today. There were nearly 20,000 books. Excluding the 10,000 books he had finished, more than 3,000 books had been sold, and there were nearly 5,000 books left.
Seeing the fat man being so busy, he was originally going to participate in the innovation and entrepreneurship competition, but he was dragged into selling books, and he felt very sorry.
Bai Ye didn't want to drag Fatty down all day, so he simply discussed with Zhou Ling and got the books to "Taya Bookstore" for 15 yuan per book.
The next day, all the remaining 5,000 books were transported to Tanya, and Bai Ye received 75,000 yuan.
Bai Ye did some calculations and found that he earned about 300,000 yuan in total.
Bai Ye took out 30,000 yuan and handed it over. He looked at the fat man distressedly and said, "I have worked hard on you during this period. You have been busy all the time. You have lost weight. Dad feels bad. Take it and eat something good."
of."
When the fat man heard this, he ignored the words of father and called me Cao. He received thirty thousand yuan in cash: "Big money! Thirty thousand yuan, tsk tsk, not bad, not bad."
Bai Ye smiled, and Fatty accepted it, just not to see Bai Ye outside. Speaking of which, Fatty was busy all the time.
Bai Ye basically didn't do much. From finding a part-time job, building a Taobao store, finding a courier company, and all kinds of things, Fatty ran around all the time, just like his own business.
Fatty doesn't treat Bai Ye as an outsider, so Bai Ye will naturally not be stingy.
Moreover, those classmates were also working very hard these days, so Bai Ye directly gave each of them an extra 100 red envelope.
It made a few people smile and asked Bai Ye for a copy of "Ignorant Chinese Medicine".
There are still hundreds of books left in the classroom. After each person gave one to them, everyone left happily.
Bai Ye pointed at the nearly three hundred books and looked at the fat man: "What should I do with these books?"
The fat man rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "It's easy to handle!"
