Perhaps it was just after the Spring Festival, or perhaps the Renmin University Publishing House wanted to establish a good relationship with Lin Han and include the next book under its own publishing house, so the settlement of manuscript fees went very smoothly.
Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan were just wondering when that moment would come, in May or June? Because when the English and Spanish versions of the novel are published, they will definitely boost the sales of the Chinese version in China.
According to the stepped royalty rate they set, the 480,000 physical books will enjoy a 10% royalty, and a book sells for 30 yuan, which means that Lin Han can get 1.44 million yuan from the sales of the physical book. of pre-tax income.
Zhao Ming laughed and explained: "Xiao Chen, this is our publishing house's practice. In February, we will include the previous 2% royalties and multiply them by 480,000 copies With a 2% royalty, this is all part of the guarantee agreement. When it reaches one million copies, we will add the 3% royalty and add it up little by little."
Chen Jiaxuan put forward his own opinion. An income of more than one million is nothing. Ten million endorsements have to be carefully considered.
In the teahouse, Zhao Ming, the vice president of Renmin University Publishing House, was sitting next to a wicker chair. He handed a piece of paper to Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lin, our sales volume for January has been calculated. Although there are still Part of the funds has not been returned, but we decided to overturn the royalties to you in advance. It was too late before the Spring Festival, but it should be too late now, right?"
"Of course, if you don't believe it, I can sneak a look at the contract for you. It's not a commercial secret. If overseas publishers pay high prices, but the domestic publishers pay lower royalties, we can't agree to it. .”
"Of course, if you don't believe it, I can sneak a look at the contract for you. It's not a commercial secret. If overseas publishers pay high prices, but the domestic publishers pay lower royalties, we can't agree to it. .”
This is why he chose to publish the English version of the novel directly on Amazon. "I, Robot" can get 70% of the sales share.
Chen Jiaxuan carefully looked at the sales figures above. She actually already knew these figures, and now she was just checking them.
Lin Han replied calmly: "The next part should be better than the previous one. You can't go backwards and get better every step of the way."
Zhao Ming finally figured it out. If it was just the publishing fee, there was no need to invite Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan to the teahouse to explain face to face that the publishing fee was fake and that the desire to represent "The Martian" was real!
"Of course, if you don't believe it, I can sneak a look at the contract for you. It's not a commercial secret. If overseas publishers pay high prices, but the domestic publishers pay lower royalties, we can't agree to it. .”
"Mr. Zhao, you are too polite to say this. I feel very comfortable working with your publishing house."
According to the stepped royalty rate they set, the 480,000 physical books will enjoy a 10% royalty, and a book sells for 30 yuan, which means that Lin Han can get 1.44 million yuan from the sales of the physical book. of pre-tax income.
What is the difference between 7% and 70%? As long as anyone who is not blind can see it, reducing the blood sucking of the publishing house can increase so much revenue.
"Of course, if you don't believe it, I can sneak a look at the contract for you. It's not a commercial secret. If overseas publishers pay high prices, but the domestic publishers pay lower royalties, we can't agree to it. .”
"I, Robot" went on sale in January. Physical bookstores and three major online sellers also showed off their power. The total sales volume exceeded 480,000 copies, and the electronic version sold 210,000 copies.
This is mainly because the price is cheap, and the share ratio is too low. It is shared with the website first, and then with the publishing house. In the end, only about 7% of the selling price reaches Lin Han.
"OK, I'll send it to your email later."
It would also be a good thing for Lin Han if he could cooperate with a familiar and large publishing house.
Stamina is a more critical issue. Lin Han tosses out some news from time to time, and the reputation of "I, Robot" is slowly fermenting. The total sales volume now reaches 620,000 copies, and it is extremely determined to move towards million sales.
Generally speaking, royalties are not settled too quickly, because the situation at so many sales points across the country is different, and the specific figures have not yet been compiled.
When Zhao Ming heard this, he first shook his head, "No way, 15% royalty is too high. Lin Han is only a two-star writer at best now. Only five-star writers can basically enjoy this treatment."
The first month of sales is the most money, and it will decrease in the following months, but there will still be hundreds of thousands. A monthly income of hundreds of thousands of yuan is something Lin Han could not have imagined before.

Chen Jiaxuan carefully looked at the sales figures above. She actually already knew these figures, and now she was just checking them.
Lin Han is now confident. As long as he says on Weibo that he wants to cooperate with a publishing house, he will definitely be inundated with calls from the publishing house.

Chen Jiaxuan has been busy for so long, and the commission of 200,000 does not seem to be much, but it is only part of it, and there is still a lot that has not been received.
"I, Robot" went on sale in January. Physical bookstores and three major online sellers also showed off their power. The total sales volume exceeded 480,000 copies, and the electronic version sold 210,000 copies.
Zhao Ming was hesitant now. He gritted his teeth and said, "Can you show me the first 60,000 words of "The Martian"? I'll go back to the publisher to discuss it. The 15% royalty is not something I can directly decide."

Readers sometimes don’t know what books to read, and the appearance of some news will help them choose. In the eyes of many people, if a book can be published in English, it must be a good book, so whether it is following the trend or not, it is a huge Advantage.

"Mr. Zhao, you are too polite to say this. I feel very comfortable working with your publishing house."
The explosive power of the novel is not strong enough, but it is stable enough. It is still stubbornly stuck at the bottom of the sales list in February, but the other books on the shelves with it have basically completed the task of visiting bookstores in January.
As for the 210,000 electronic sales there, according to the 3:7 split between the website and the publishing house, Lin Han can only get about 75,000 yuan for the e-book priced at 5 yuan, which is better than nothing compared with the physical version.

"So, since it is an industry practice, we have to abide by it." Lin Han said, and he began to slowly calculate. It seemed that he had to pay 160,000 yuan in taxes, and the actual amount he received was only about 1.34 million yuan.

Lin Han replied calmly: "The next part should be better than the previous one. You can't go backwards and get better every step of the way."
This income is very high for ordinary people. On the surface, it took only two months to get 1.44 million.

In fact, this is also a trick of the publishing house. It wants to control the author's money so that they have to continue to cooperate with them. Otherwise, the settlement of the novel publication may take a long, long time.

"As a published debut, there are still few people who can sell as well as you, Xiaolin. Among the writers working with our publishing house, your income is already considered middle-income. If we continue to operate the next book, I believe This income will also be exceeded.”
"I, Robot" went on sale in January. Physical bookstores and three major online sellers also showed off their power. The total sales volume exceeded 480,000 copies, and the electronic version sold 210,000 copies.
According to the stepped royalty rate they set, the 480,000 physical books will enjoy a 10% royalty, and a book sells for 30 yuan, which means that Lin Han can get 1.44 million yuan from the sales of the physical book. of pre-tax income.
Chen Jiaxuan put forward his own opinion. An income of more than one million is nothing. Ten million endorsements have to be carefully considered.
What is the difference between 7% and 70%? As long as anyone who is not blind can see it, reducing the blood sucking of the publishing house can increase so much revenue.
"Mr. Zhao, I have some objections to this royalty sharing. The royalty agreement we signed is based on the total sales volume, not the sales volume of the month. In other words, the total sales volume is 620,000 copies, and our royalty rate is not 10% , should be 12%.”
Chen Jiaxuan put forward his own opinion. An income of more than one million is nothing. Ten million endorsements have to be carefully considered.
Closer to home, when Lin Han saw his pre-tax income of 1.515 million yuan, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He smiled and said: "It seems that I can buy a house in Beijing just with this book. "
Lin Han replied calmly: "The next part should be better than the previous one. You can't go backwards and get better every step of the way."
"Mr. Zhao, let's not talk secretly. You also know how popular Lin Han's new book "The Martian" is on the Internet. At the same time, we have decided to sell the English publishing rights to Penguin Publishing Group. You can read the quality of the novel when the time comes. Look. This time we don’t ask for tiered royalties, we ask for the same level as Penguin Publishing Group, reaching 15%.”
"Mr. Zhao, you are too polite to say this. I feel very comfortable working with your publishing house."
Chen Jiaxuan put forward his own opinion. An income of more than one million is nothing. Ten million endorsements have to be carefully considered.
It would also be a good thing for Lin Han if he could cooperate with a familiar and large publishing house.
What is the difference between 7% and 70%? As long as anyone who is not blind can see it, reducing the blood sucking of the publishing house can increase so much revenue.
In fact, this is also a trick of the publishing house. It wants to control the author's money so that they have to continue to cooperate with them. Otherwise, the settlement of the novel publication may take a long, long time.
Zhao Ming laughed and explained: "Xiao Chen, this is our publishing house's practice. In February, we will include the previous 2% royalties and multiply them by 480,000 copies With a 2% royalty, this is all part of the guarantee agreement. When it reaches one million copies, we will add the 3% royalty and add it up little by little."
This is why he chose to publish the English version of the novel directly on Amazon. "I, Robot" can get 70% of the sales share.
The explosive power of the novel is not strong enough, but it is stable enough. It is still stubbornly stuck at the bottom of the sales list in February, but the other books on the shelves with it have basically completed the task of visiting bookstores in January.
In fact, this is also a trick of the publishing house. It wants to control the author's money so that they have to continue to cooperate with them. Otherwise, the settlement of the novel publication may take a long, long time.
"Of course, if you don't believe it, I can sneak a look at the contract for you. It's not a commercial secret. If overseas publishers pay high prices, but the domestic publishers pay lower royalties, we can't agree to it. .”
This income is very high for ordinary people. On the surface, it took only two months to get 1.44 million.
Lin Han is now confident. As long as he says on Weibo that he wants to cooperate with a publishing house, he will definitely be inundated with calls from the publishing house.
It's just that the National People's Congress Publishing House doesn't bother to use this method to recruit people.
"As a published debut, there are still few people who can sell as well as you, Xiaolin. Among the writers working with our publishing house, your income is already considered middle-income. If we continue to operate the next book, I believe This income will also be exceeded.”
"Mr. Zhao, you are too polite to say this. I feel very comfortable working with your publishing house."
"So, since it is an industry practice, we have to abide by it." Lin Han said, and he began to slowly calculate. It seemed that he had to pay 160,000 yuan in taxes, and the actual amount he received was only about 1.34 million yuan.

Chen Jiaxuan put forward his own opinion. An income of more than one million is nothing. Ten million endorsements have to be carefully considered.
Zhao Ming finally figured it out. If it was just the publishing fee, there was no need to invite Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan to the teahouse to explain face to face that the publishing fee was fake and that the desire to represent "The Martian" was real!
"Mr. Zhao, let's not talk secretly. You also know how popular Lin Han's new book "The Martian" is on the Internet. At the same time, we have decided to sell the English publishing rights to Penguin Publishing Group. You can read the quality of the novel when the time comes. Look. This time we don’t ask for tiered royalties, we ask for the same level as Penguin Publishing Group, reaching 15%.”
However, after Zhao Ming looked at the relaxed expressions of Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan, he couldn't help but beat his drum in his heart, so he asked in a low voice: "Did Penguin Publishing Group really give you such a high royalty?"
At the same time, he also has to pay Chen Jiaxuan's literary agent's share. Counting the previous 80,000 pounds, he has to pay Chen Jiaxuan 10% of the commission, which is about 200,000.
Stamina is a more critical issue. Lin Han tosses out some news from time to time, and the reputation of "I, Robot" is slowly fermenting. The total sales volume now reaches 620,000 copies, and it is extremely determined to move towards million sales.
In the teahouse, Zhao Ming, the vice president of Renmin University Publishing House, was sitting next to a wicker chair. He handed a piece of paper to Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lin, our sales volume for January has been calculated. Although there are still Part of the funds has not been returned, but we decided to overturn the royalties to you in advance. It was too late before the Spring Festival, but it should be too late now, right?"

Zhao Ming finally figured it out. If it was just the publishing fee, there was no need to invite Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan to the teahouse to explain face to face that the publishing fee was fake and that the desire to represent "The Martian" was real!
But for a writer, this income is not even among the top 50 richest writers. If other people's books sell well and copyrights are sold, they will naturally take the lead.
Generally speaking, royalties are not settled too quickly, because the situation at so many sales points across the country is different, and the specific figures have not yet been compiled.
Chen Jiaxuan has been busy for so long, and the commission of 200,000 does not seem to be much, but it is only part of it, and there is still a lot that has not been received.

The first month of sales is the most money, and it will decrease in the following months, but there will still be hundreds of thousands. A monthly income of hundreds of thousands of yuan is something Lin Han could not have imagined before.
Lin Han replied calmly: "The next part should be better than the previous one. You can't go backwards and get better every step of the way."

When Zhao Ming heard this, he first shook his head, "No way, 15% royalty is too high. Lin Han is only a two-star writer at best now. Only five-star writers can basically enjoy this treatment."
As for the 210,000 electronic sales there, according to the 3:7 split between the website and the publishing house, Lin Han can only get about 75,000 yuan for the e-book priced at 5 yuan, which is better than nothing compared with the physical version.
Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan were just wondering when that moment would come, in May or June? Because when the English and Spanish versions of the novel are published, they will definitely boost the sales of the Chinese version in China.

This is mainly because the price is cheap, and the share ratio is too low. It is shared with the website first, and then with the publishing house. In the end, only about 7% of the selling price reaches Lin Han.
Lin Han is now confident. As long as he says on Weibo that he wants to cooperate with a publishing house, he will definitely be inundated with calls from the publishing house.
Readers sometimes don’t know what books to read, and the appearance of some news will help them choose. In the eyes of many people, if a book can be published in English, it must be a good book, so whether it is following the trend or not, it is a huge Advantage.

Perhaps it was just after the Spring Festival, or perhaps the Renmin University Publishing House wanted to establish a good relationship with Lin Han and include the next book under its own publishing house, so the settlement of manuscript fees went very smoothly.
