Chapter forty-eight: change the scissors and change the pot
Editor Guomu pressed the keyboard bitterly: The editor-in-chief said, two hundred words per thousand, no more!
It’s just a serialization of the novel, and at this price, if I wasn’t eager to read the rest… it would be too miserable!
The magazine is so humble!
The editor is so humble...
While Guomu waited eagerly, Ding Wei finally came online.
Editor Guo Mu: You, Qiuqiu, now you have royalties, buy a mobile phone!
Otherwise, you can only rely on QQ whenever something happens, which is too difficult!
Ding Wei looked at the time. It was now two o'clock in the afternoon on October 7th. She had just finished her nap. Counting the time, Bai Shanshan was coming soon.
This life is no longer 996: I will buy the mobile phone this afternoon, but I won’t tell you the number for now... It’s nothing urgent anyway, so I’ll contact you online.
Just kidding, what should I do if I am urged to do more?
Editor Guo Mu:......
Editor Guo Mu: I am a distinguished editor, please think carefully before speaking!
This Life Is No Longer 996: Shouldn’t I, a diligent author like me, be more noble?
Editor Guo Mu:......
Editor Guo Mu: Can this book of 1.2 million words be finished?
This Life Is No Longer 996: Originally planned to be 1.2 million words, but now, it is estimated to be 2 million words. You know, my keyboard has a mind of its own.
Editor Guo Mu: ...It’s a long story!
The pace of this book is so good and the number of words is sufficient. It can be serialized to 10,000 words at a time. It can be serialized together with the book "Dislocation". On the one hand, it will expand the readership and on the other hand, it will also gain popularity faster.
She remembered the editor-in-chief's words, and suddenly she was full of expectations for the new magazine that was about to be launched.
Ding Wei is also very happy. It is estimated that the book will be 2 million words in length, and at a high price of 200 per thousand words, this book can get 400,000 yuan, and even if tax is deducted, it will still be 300,000 yuan. As long as she writes another book, she will have a house!
marvelous!
Thinking of this, her aching fingers seemed to no longer hurt, and her body seemed to have more strength!
However, there was obviously more than one good news. After the two negotiated the specific contract matters, editor Guo Mu looked at his mailbox and said to Ding Wei:
"A Wanwan publishing house that we often cooperate with has taken a liking to this book "The Boss" and wants to buy the traditional Chinese copyright."
This Life Is No Longer 996:???Although it’s a surprise, isn’t the serialization not over yet?
According to the magazine's pace of serializing 10,000 words in each issue, it will take at least next year to complete the serialization.
Editor Guo Mu: Generally speaking, if the copyright is sold, we will speed up the pace of serialization. But when Wanwan Publishing House buys the traditional Chinese copyright, especially for a 100,000-word article, it is a one-time buyout price, which is not too big.
It’s expensive, so you have to be mentally prepared.
Ding Wei naturally understood. She remembered that in her previous life, buying a novel like this cost less than ten yuan, six yuan, eight yuan, and nine nine yuan. It was very simple to make it into a pocket book.
This Life Is No Longer 996: So, will your magazine handle the copyright sale, or will I negotiate it myself?
Editor Guo Mu secretly sighed - she really doesn't look like an ordinary little girl.
Editor Guo Mu: We usually negotiate for the publishers our magazine works with, and you need to pay 10 to 30% of the royalties as commission. If you don’t want to, you can also find other publishers and negotiate on your own.
However, I still suggest that we do it. Although we charge a commission, we will accordingly raise the price as much as possible to ensure the interests of the author.
Never Again 996: So, my commission?
Editor Guo Mu gritted his teeth: 10%, the highest treatment.
No More in This Life 996: Okay, I’m sorry to bother you.
She doesn’t understand this, and talking about it on her own takes a lot of energy and trouble. So far, she’s very happy working with this magazine, so she might as well let it go!
Besides, ten percent is really not much.
In those websites of later generations, splits of 2, 3, 4, and 5 abound.
…
The two discussed for a long time, and the contract for the new book was settled. Ding Wei printed out the contract and sent it out at school. When she returned to the dormitory, she saw Bai Shanshan coming over!
"Weiwei! Weiwei!"
She jumped up in surprise: "Weiwei, I sent you a message during the holiday but you didn't even pay attention to me..."
Ding Wei wondered: "I obviously replied!"
"But you only reply one sentence every time!"
Ding Wei touched her nose and thought to herself, you talk about what to eat and play every day. She turned into a coding madman and was controlled by the keyboard, so she couldn't reply more!
She touched Bai Shanshan's increasingly rounded face and apologized sincerely: "Okay, I will reply in time next time."
Now it was Bai Shanshan who felt embarrassed.
Her face glowed: "Yeah... I don't have to reply, I know you are making money..."
The next second, she remembered something more important: "Weiwei, don't you want to buy a mobile phone and computer? Come on, you choose!"
As she spoke, she hummed and opened her new suitcase. A whole box of notebooks and mobile phones were piled up in a mess. As the box suddenly opened, a notebook of the same type as the one Bai Shanshan was using finally persisted.
Unable to hold it back, it fell to the floor with a clatter.
Ding Wei:……
Although there had been speculations that she had agreed to buy a mobile phone with Bai Shanshan, which was a disguised agreement to buy her second-hand one, but...
This is too exaggerated!
Many boxes have not been opened yet!
Bai Shanshan felt that she could help Weiwei and was so happy at the moment: "They gave these to me before. There are too many to use. I heard that a second-hand mobile phone can be exchanged for three basins and one scissors, which is twenty yuan."
As for the money, you choose, you choose whatever you want, everything is twenty!"
Ding Wei couldn't help but cover her chest.
Where can I exchange scissors and pots for a brand new mobile phone and computer!
The laptop that was smashed on the ground had a market price of 30,000, and now it is labeled with a price of 20... It’s really sour!
How can there be such sour lemons in the world!
She let out a long sigh: "I thought you would just bring two here..." Thinking that Bai Shanshan's things were expensive, Ding Wei decided to buy her second-hand ones and had already raised her budget a lot.
But now...
What kind of budget is worthy of this computer that has clearly not been turned on yet?
Bai Shanshan said it very naturally: "It's not worth anything anyway, you can choose whatever you want, but my arms hurt from going upstairs so tired..."
She is a little fat person, carrying a box of electronic products up. She is really tired, and her arms are still shaking now.
Ding Wei quickly pinched two handfuls: "Let's do this. Neither of us needs so many things. I'll pick a mobile phone and a laptop first, and I'll check the prices of the rest. Let's sell them."
Bai Shanshan's eyes lit up: "You mean we go to the school gate to set up a stall? Okay, okay, I've never set up a stall before! I'm so excited! What should I prepare?"
Ding Wei:……
In fact, she wanted to say that many of the best-selling models are in short supply, so why not find a store to package them together...
But Bai Shanshan's expectations were beyond words, so she had no choice but to sigh and gently pinched the other person's face: "You don't need to prepare anything, just move two small benches!"
