A 5% royalty is indeed a reasonable price for newcomers. Many newcomers are not even qualified to receive royalties, so they directly sell their products for a price of two to three hundred per thousand words.
Zhao Han's expression did not change, and he regretted in his heart, what kind of literary agent does a new author have? Who doesn't know that those agents are vampires, and they can't wait to get more profits from the publishing house.
The only science fiction novels that can firmly beat this book are Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth" that are specifically listed as must-read items in textbooks.
If Lin Han just handed over the Simplified Chinese publishing rights, the original author might never want to strangle this prodigal son.
However, various bookstores and online books will have certain discounts. Few novels are sold according to the list price, which is basically 20% off, so the profit margin is naturally lower.
Needless to say, in Europe and the United States, sales have been growing steadily. Stimulated by the science fiction movie "I, Robot" starring Will Smith, this novel that has been published for fifty years was once again published around 2004. It has been on the top ten of the New York Times book sales list and created a myth in the science fiction world.
But Lin Han had no such idea of giving in. What he got was a novel that had been best-selling for decades on earth. This "I, Robot" has been popular in dozens of countries around the world since its birth in the 1950s. They are all sold and translated into major and minor languages around the world.
Li Wenyuan gave Lin Han a thumbs up in his heart. It would be a big loss if this book only signed a 5% royalty. As long as the Renmin University Publishing House is more serious about its promotion, it can get a novel with quite good sales.
The author's royalties are not divided according to profits, but through sales. For example, if a book priced at 30 yuan sells 10,000 copies, the author's royalties are 5%, then the money the author can get is 30* 10000*5%=15000.
If you want to make money by writing books, unless you have a great background or the quality of the book is extremely high, it will be difficult to get royalties from your debut work.
Renmin University Press is a well-known brand across the country. It was the first university press after the founding of New China, but now it is in a semi-detached state. It has established a publishing group and operates as a company. It has many branches, such as economics Publishing branch, business administration, law, examination, education, academic publishing, audio and video publishing house, applied technology branch and popular book publishing center, etc.

If a publishing house wants to successfully publish a book, it needs to invest extraordinary human and material resources, including editing, art design, typesetting, proofreading, printing, distribution, and finance, all of which are indispensable.

Zhao Han also saw that this novel was going to be a big seller, so he took out a business card from his pocket and said with a smile: "Xiao Lin, if you have time in the afternoon, I can ask your agent to discuss this matter." It would be better to publish the novel earlier, but so many of us are eagerly waiting for the second part of the novel!"
"No problem, I'll send her a message right away. Then we can sit down and chat slowly." Lin Han shrugged. Just then the waiter started to serve the dishes, so he continued: "Everyone, let's eat first. This is the most important thing."
Even in the 21st century, several publishing houses in mainland China have still completed the translation work and named it one of the Galaxy Empire series. It has even been hailed as a science fiction bible by Jiangsu Literature and Art Publishing House. It is available on websites such as JD.com, Dangdang, and Amazon. The sales volume has been very high and it is one of children's favorite extracurricular books.
If the publishing price of a book is 50 yuan, then the publishing house can basically only earn about 5 yuan. Most of the rest are costs, including the author's remuneration and editing fees, rental costs, raw and auxiliary material costs, and plate making costs. , printing and binding (production) expenses, publishing losses, cataloging expenses, administrative expenses, financial expenses, operating expenses, etc.
The only science fiction novels that can firmly beat this book are Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth" that are specifically listed as must-read items in textbooks.
Zhao Han's expression did not change, and he regretted in his heart, what kind of literary agent does a new author have? Who doesn't know that those agents are vampires, and they can't wait to get more profits from the publishing house.
Chinese people basically discuss business at the dinner table and wine table. Today, Zhao Han restrained the idea of drinking because he had to negotiate with his agent later. If he drank, he would accidentally reveal his bottom line. That's the big trouble.
Fortunately, the copyright protection in this world is very good, piracy does not dare to appear easily, and people's reading atmosphere is also very good. Basically, publishing houses can make a healthy profit.
If the number of sales is very small, it is better to calculate the author's royalties based on royalties than to directly sign a buyout. Therefore, when on earth, many publishing houses have problems in running their business, and they can only make a living by selling book numbers and collecting sponsorships.

He and Chen Jiaxuan had discussed the issue of royalties before, so he still had some understanding of these ratios. Knowing that his book would sell millions of copies or more, it would be a waste of money if he didn't bargain.
Anyone who has done publishing knows that not all books will be sold after they are printed. There are always some that are returned, some that are unsalable, and some that are damaged. The scrap rate of most publishing houses is around 10%, and a few set it at 20%. %, this is a big loss.

Lin Han is not lacking publishers to contact now. He has his own confidence. The quality of the book "I, Robot" is his biggest weight. Anyone with a discerning eye will definitely not push this out.

So he said: "Mr. Zhao, as an ordinary new author, I think it is a good thing to be published, but I also have a literary agent, and she has helped me contact "Science Fiction World". The introduction and first chapter of this novel will be published in the December issue. I wonder if this will affect the publication?"

After lunch, the group of people separated. Li Wenyuan sent Tong Yonglie away from the National People's Congress, while the other two professors went back to work. Only Lin Han, Zhao Han and Liu Jun, two people from the National People's Congress Press, were left. Chatting in a teahouse in the distance.

Finally, we must not forget to pay taxes. The current tax rate of 1.13 will also share the profits, so the publishing house is not as profitable as imagined.

Zhao Han also saw that this novel was going to be a big seller, so he took out a business card from his pocket and said with a smile: "Xiao Lin, if you have time in the afternoon, I can ask your agent to discuss this matter." It would be better to publish the novel earlier, but so many of us are eagerly waiting for the second part of the novel!"
However, various bookstores and online books will have certain discounts. Few novels are sold according to the list price, which is basically 20% off, so the profit margin is naturally lower.
Chinese people basically discuss business at the dinner table and wine table. Today, Zhao Han restrained the idea of drinking because he had to negotiate with his agent later. If he drank, he would accidentally reveal his bottom line. That's the big trouble.
"No problem, I'll send her a message right away. Then we can sit down and chat slowly." Lin Han shrugged. Just then the waiter started to serve the dishes, so he continued: "Everyone, let's eat first. This is the most important thing."
A 5% royalty is indeed a reasonable price for newcomers. Many newcomers are not even qualified to receive royalties, so they directly sell their products for a price of two to three hundred per thousand words.
Li Wenyuan gave Lin Han a thumbs up in his heart. It would be a big loss if this book only signed a 5% royalty. As long as the Renmin University Publishing House is more serious about its promotion, it can get a novel with quite good sales.
Zhao Han's expression did not change, and he regretted in his heart, what kind of literary agent does a new author have? Who doesn't know that those agents are vampires, and they can't wait to get more profits from the publishing house.
If a publishing house wants to successfully publish a book, it needs to invest extraordinary human and material resources, including editing, art design, typesetting, proofreading, printing, distribution, and finance, all of which are indispensable.
After lunch, the group of people separated. Li Wenyuan sent Tong Yonglie away from the National People's Congress, while the other two professors went back to work. Only Lin Han, Zhao Han and Liu Jun, two people from the National People's Congress Press, were left. Chatting in a teahouse in the distance.
As the saying goes, small profits but quick turnover. If more books are sold, then the printing cost will actually become lower and lower. Therefore, the more popular the book, the more money it will make.
The only science fiction novels that can firmly beat this book are Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth" that are specifically listed as must-read items in textbooks.
Zhao Han happens to be the vice president in charge of the Popular Publishing Center, which mainly focuses on publications for the general public, such as novels, autobiographies, various translations, and some guidance. They are more popular than the professional books above. , everyone can understand it.

The author's royalties are not divided according to profits, but through sales. For example, if a book priced at 30 yuan sells 10,000 copies, the author's royalties are 5%, then the money the author can get is 30* 10000*5%=15000.
Fortunately, the copyright protection in this world is very good, piracy does not dare to appear easily, and people's reading atmosphere is also very good. Basically, publishing houses can make a healthy profit.
Finally, we must not forget to pay taxes. The current tax rate of 1.13 will also share the profits, so the publishing house is not as profitable as imagined.
Renmin University Press is a well-known brand across the country. It was the first university press after the founding of New China, but now it is in a semi-detached state. It has established a publishing group and operates as a company. It has many branches, such as economics Publishing branch, business administration, law, examination, education, academic publishing, audio and video publishing house, applied technology branch and popular book publishing center, etc.

If you want to make money by writing books, unless you have a great background or the quality of the book is extremely high, it will be difficult to get royalties from your debut work.

When Chen Jiaxuan arrived in a Maserati, Lin Han was relieved. He was not good at dealing with people, especially such an old fox, who was trying to defraud his bottom line every minute.
If the publishing price of a book is 50 yuan, then the publishing house can basically only earn about 5 yuan. Most of the rest are costs, including the author's remuneration and editing fees, rental costs, raw and auxiliary material costs, and plate making costs. , printing and binding (production) expenses, publishing losses, cataloging expenses, administrative expenses, financial expenses, operating expenses, etc.
He and Chen Jiaxuan had discussed the issue of royalties before, so he still had some understanding of these ratios. Knowing that his book would sell millions of copies or more, it would be a waste of money if he didn't bargain.
But Lin Han had no such idea of giving in. What he got was a novel that had been best-selling for decades on earth. This "I, Robot" has been popular in dozens of countries around the world since its birth in the 1950s. They are all sold and translated into major and minor languages around the world.

Anyone who has done publishing knows that not all books will be sold after they are printed. There are always some that are returned, some that are unsalable, and some that are damaged. The scrap rate of most publishing houses is around 10%, and a few set it at 20%. %, this is a big loss.

Lin Han is not lacking publishers to contact now. He has his own confidence. The quality of the book "I, Robot" is his biggest weight. Anyone with a discerning eye will definitely not push this out.

If Lin Han just handed over the Simplified Chinese publishing rights, the original author might never want to strangle this prodigal son.
