Xia Qiu did not expect that those employees who had left back then would still be helping him promote his books. At this moment, he was talking to someone in the villa. The person he was talking to was Qin Tian, the boss of Wancheng Qin Chao publishing house. Back then, he asked Zhou Xue to collect information on the publishing house. It could be said that his house was one of the top few in the publishing world. Many authors in Gangcheng and Wancheng had worked with them before.
If Xia Qiu had let them publish the book, the sales in Nanyang, Japan, and Korea would have been even better. Shulin's Boss Fu needed several companies to work together to buy Xia Qiu's book, but Qin Chao had the ability to contract Xia Qiu's book. This was the difference in strength.
Initially, they were also very interested in Xia Qiu's book. However, because the publishing firm was huge, they had to be considerate. They didn't know if Xia Qiu's book would sell well, so they naturally didn't dare to offend the entire novel association for Xia Qiu's sake. However, when they saw Boss Fu of Bookstore making a lot of money, they naturally couldn't sit still.
Xia Qiu naturally knew about his arrival, but she had promised Boss Fu that she would give Shulin priority for her next book." Boss Qin, I'd be happy to work with you guys, but Boss Fu found me when I was in trouble, so I owe Boss Fu a favor. I'll give Boss Fu priority for my next book."
After Qin Tian heard him finish, he said,""I know. I heard from others that you promised to give the boss priority in the book. We can fight for that book. I heard from others that you still have a novel in your hands. I was wondering if we could work together on this book and give a fair price. In fact, the strength of our Qin Dynasty is incomparable to that of the Book Forest. If that book was published by us when we returned to the Ming Dynasty, I can guarantee that the sales would at least double. We missed out on that book for various reasons."But I don't want to miss this opportunity again, so I hope you can publish this book for us. As long as you're willing, we're willing to pay 25 million yuan in royalties."
Although Qin Dynasty was a big company with strong financial resources, the problem was that they lacked good novels to publish. In this era, martial arts novels were the most popular, but there were only a few people who wrote martial arts well. Moreover, many novels had the same plot, and readers were a little tired of aesthetic appreciation.
Back then, they had wanted to get the publishing rights to Xia Qiu's Return to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince, but the Fictional Association had threatened to stop all cooperation with them. In the end, they had no choice but to give up. Now that the novel association had stopped criticizing Xia Qiu's novels, Qin Tian was the first to come over to buy Xia Qiu's best servant.
Qin Tian's tone surprised Xia Qiu. She couldn't help but look at Qin Tian and ask seriously,"" Boss Qin, are you so confident in my novel that you haven't even read it?
Qin Tian also had his own thoughts on this question." When your first novel,'The Quest for Qin' was first published in the Sing Tao Daily, it was able to cause a wave of time travel. It also increased the sales of the Sing Tao Daily to the number one position. The second novel,'Return to the Ming Dynasty and Be a Royal Highness,' has already sold more than 700,000 copies in Southeast Asia. The third novel,'Lotus Step by Step,' is also a novel that is very popular among readers. The newspaper also relied on your novel. Now that the circulation of the newspaper has reached 130,000 copies, I believe that the fourth novel in your hands can't be too bad. "In our line of work, how can we be 100% sure of the market? So even if it's really bad, we won't have any complaints about you. Moreover, with the popularity of your previous books, even if it's bad, we still have the ability to recommend it. It's just a matter of how much we earn."
Xia Qiu finally understood. This guy was also a gambler." Boss Qin, I hope you can wait another ten days. I'll finish my novel in ten days. You can take a look at the manuscript first. If you're willing, we can sign the contract then."
When Qin Tian heard this, he was excited. The quality of the novels published by the company in the past two years had been getting worse and worse. Now that Xia Qiu's novel was here, he could finally relax." Alright, it's a deal. I'll visit again in ten days."
After the two of them came to an agreement, Xia Qiu sent Qin Tian out of the villa. Just as they were about to part ways, Xia Qiu suddenly asked,"" Boss Qin, I wonder if your publishing firm can distribute the book to foreign countries?
Qin Tian was taken aback." Mr. Xia, you're talking about distributing your novel to the overseas Chinese community? To be honest, these books might sell well here, but it was really difficult to sell them overseas. " Due to the cultural differences there, it's very difficult for Eastern novels to be liked by readers there. We tried to develop the market there in the past, but the results were very disappointing. I remember that the best book was 'Detective Di Renjie', but this book was written by a Dutchman. It sold very well overseas, but its sales in Asia were terrible. This kind of cultural barrier is really difficult to break. Moreover, the cost of publishing is very high, so it's not worth it."
In his previous life, Xu Ke's Di Renjie movie series was an adaptation of the novel that Qin Tian was talking about. This novel was written by a foreigner and was very popular overseas. Unfortunately, the sales in Asia went into outer space, which made those excited producers cough up blood.
Xia Qiu quickly explained," It's not these books. I'm saying that I might write a foreign novel in the future. I just don't know if you have the ability to publish it overseas."
After thinking for a while, Qin Tian said," Our company doesn't have the ability to publish it overseas, but we can find friends in this industry who can help recommend it. However, the main thing is the quality of the books. If they like it, the profit won't be much. They can't sell it all at once like we did this time. They're all split according to the profit. Usually, the profit will be 30 percent for you and 70 percent for them. If you sell it well, it will be increased to 50 percent. However, if you're a foreigner, the profit will be much higher."
Xia Qiu wanted to write about Harry. He remembered that there were seven books in this book, each of which was only a few hundred thousand words. They were all very popular. The author, Rowling, had also earned a lot of money because of this book. It was said that she was richer than Queen Gilly. We'll talk about that later. If I really write a novel with a foreign style in the future, I'll have to ask for your help."
Hearing Xia Qiu's words, Qin Tian reckoned that it was really possible for him to write such a novel in the future. He immediately promised," That's not a problem. I'll definitely help when the time comes. I just hope that we can distribute the Asian products."
Xia Qiu chuckled and said,"We'll discuss this later, but I'll definitely give it to you first."# Date:**:46PM
