However, Huang Daguang and the others were also forced hard.
Everyone entered the conference room on the second floor of the printing factory. Before they could say a few words, he introduced "The Gift of Room No. 7".
This printing factory is a subsidiary of the printing company that cooperates with Guangshuo Publishing House.
Now, their printing branch in Busan has been printing "The Gift of Room No. 7" since last month.
But now 2 million copies have been sold, and the population of Tai Chi Country is only that large. It is estimated that if it sells another 2 million or 3 million copies, it will be overwhelming.
Moreover, the demand from fans is not so urgent, so they can finally breathe a sigh of relief and not have to work around the clock.
As a result, Guangshuo Publishing House has become the most important customer of this printing company. Therefore, when Shen Huan asked Zhang Zaiyun to convey that he wanted to print tens of thousands of promotional materials, as well as some promotional banners, etc., Huang Daguang could easily let him. The printing branch here is open for business.
"Sir, according to the contract we signed before, the number of premieres is 5,000, the price is 8,000 Korean won, and the royalty is 3%. The pre-tax royalty is converted into RMB, which is 7,500 yuan. Have you received this part of the money?" Huang Daguang said respectfully.
"Got it." Shen Huan nodded slightly.
"Because you have never written a novel before and you are still a foreigner, our pricing is very conservative and is the lowest level." Huang Daguang stood up and bowed guiltily: "Now it seems that we are too ignorant. This has caused such great damage to your reputation!”
The people behind him also stood up and bowed to apologize.
Shen Huan was already somewhat accustomed to their frequent courtesy. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, if I were you, I would do the same."
Books in Tai Chi Kingdom are very expensive. Usually, the price of a novel is about 12,000 Korean won, which is 70 yuan. If it is by a well-known author, it is not surprising that it costs 150 yuan.
But it's not cheap either.
For example, a foreigner like Chu Liuxiang who appeared out of nowhere actually wanted to publish a novel in Tai Chi Country. Under normal circumstances, it was simply impossible.
If Zhang Zaiyun hadn't had some respect, and Guangshuo Publishing House was a third-rate publishing house, and "The Gift from Room No. 7" was quite touching and beautiful, there would have been no way this book would have been published.
Even if they agreed to publish, they chose the most conservative terms of 5,000 copies, 8,000 yuan and the lowest 3% royalty.
Of course, if it weren't for so many concessions, Guangshuo Publishing House would definitely not be willing to publish this book so quickly.
As a result, no one expected that "The Gift from Room No. 7" would actually detonate the entire Tai Chi Kingdom book market, and it sold more than 2 million copies in just over a month. It seems that 3 million copies are not stressful at all!
Now it was Huang Daguang and the others who were under great pressure.
You actually ordered a copy of such a classic novel for 8,000 won. Do you look down on Mr. Chu Liuxiang? Do you think there is a big gap between Mr. Chu and those well-known writers? —Not even half the price of the novels by the most famous authors!
If Mr. Chu Liuxiang pursues this matter, the brand of their publishing house will be ruined.
A single accusation of contempt for a well-known author can prevent them from receiving submissions from writers.
There are more than 50,000 publishing houses in Tai Chi Country. Do they still lack your publishing house to submit articles
Without contributions from writers, what else can Guangshuo Publishing House do
It can only close down.
Finally, Guangshuo Publishing House has gained rapid momentum. If it closes down because of this, Huang Daguang feels that he can jump across the Pacific Ocean.
Therefore, before Mr. Chu gets angry and pursues the matter, it is definitely right for him to offer a sincere apology.
Hearing Shen Huan smile and say he understood, Huang Daguang felt as if a big stone had fallen to the ground, and felt much relieved.
With a smile on his face, Huang Daguang stood up straight and continued: "Mr. Chu, the contract we signed is a progressive royalty method. According to "The Gift of Room No. 7", it has now reached sales of more than 2 million copies. , for your second royalty settlement, we will pay based on the 2 million copies that have been paid back. After deducting taxes, it has reached 2.7 million yuan. Will you take cash, or will we transfer it to your account in China? "
"How much?" Shen Huan thought there was something wrong with Zhang Zaiyun's translation.
But Zhang Zaiyun nodded directly to him, "Mr. Chu, 2 million copies and 2.7 million yuan are equivalent to the results of "The Gift of Room No. 7". This is already very small! The main disadvantage is the pricing!"
Shen Huan was stunned.
Good guy!
A novel of about 200,000 words actually earned 2.7 million in one go!
In total, one word is 13 RMB!
And that’s not all, there will be hundreds of thousands and more than one million copies sold in the future, which means that it will almost reach about 5 million!
Tai Chi people can really make money by writing books!
With such a book and 5 million, it would be enough to buy a bigger storefront and live on rent for the rest of my life, right? !
At this time, Shen Huan didn't think about it. If he changed to another publishing house, he would definitely get 8 million or even 10 million.
These are all idle thoughts.
A new Chinese writer who has nothing in common publishes a novel for more than 20,000 won. The publisher would only do this unless he was crazy.
But if Shen Huan has a next book, it will definitely start at 20,000 won, and it will have a guaranteed sales volume of at least 500,000 copies—even if they are deceived, there are so many Tai Chi people who are willing.
"You can transfer it directly to my card." Thinking of so much money, Shen Huan was in a very good mood, "President Huang, thank you for your hard work!"
"No, it's our publishing house that has wronged you." Huang Daguang smiled and sat down. "It just so happened that Mr. Chu came to Tai Chi Country. In addition, I have another request. I hope you can help me."
"Say it!" Shen Huan said angrily.
"In order to thank readers for their support, well-known writers have the habit of signing and giving away books, so we would like to take out 1,000 signed copies of "The Gift of Room No. 7" and give them to them through a lottery..."
"No problem." Shen Huan replied quickly, "How can 1,000 copies be enough? You bring 3,000 copies. I will use some myself. I will give you 2,000 copies after the signing is completed in a few days."
"Ah... thank you so much!"
All right.
Huang Daguang, who was full of surprises, led a group of his men and bowed gratefully again.
But Shen Huan was even happier than them.
Huang Daguang gave him an excellent inspiration at this time.
When "Love Letter" was screened, I had another secret weapon!
