" How about it? I'll first sign a contract for the book 'Gold Hunt: Ghost Blows Out the Light'. If my book sells well and makes me famous, I'll talk about the Grave Robber's Chronicles.”
Lin Yi was quite satisfied with the price of 100 yuan per 1,000 words. What price did a newcomer want to publish a novel for?
However, Xian Tian Xia Press didn't discuss the sales share with Lin Yi. Lin Yi was prepared to talk about this. He didn't plan to sign a contract and buy it out. This would be too much of a loss for Lin Yi.
"How is the publishing share calculated? I don't think this is a outright contract. I'm not going to sign a contract."
Seeing Lin Yi's message, Cold and Ruthless was already prepared. He hurriedly replied,"Yes, the newcomer's share is 5%. Since your work has a higher review level, you can increase the share to 10%.”
"What is the percentage of a god-level author's share?”Lin Yi asked straightforwardly. Newcomers could get 5% and his book could get 10%. How much was the Almighty's?
Cold and Ruthless replied very quickly."The Almighty is a top author, right? Their publishing share can reach 15%. However, there are very few such authors. They need to be judged by their sales results."”
"Okay, then sign this one. I don't lack money for the time being. 10% is fine too.”Lin Yi did not make any other requests. Being able to publish it in advance was already beyond Lin Yi's expectations. This undoubtedly accelerated the progress of his business plan.
After all, online literature had just started to flourish. Compared to physical literature, which was traditional literature, its influence was not that great.
The sales results of physical publishing were definitely more reliable than the sales results of the website. It was more presentable.
Very soon, Indifferent sent over the contract for the sales of the books published by Xian Tian Xia Literature Press.
Lin Yi quickly checked and found no problems. He signed the simplified and traditional copyright, and the split was also very clear. After Lin Yi filled in some information that did not need to be filled in by hand, he quickly printed it out and signed his name on the contract.
After settling the contract, Lin Yi chatted with Cold and Heartless about some issues related to book publishing. Lin Yi was just an outsider. He only started writing online novels because it was the most suitable side job for him at the moment.
After chatting for about half an hour, Lin Yi looked at the time and said goodbye to Indifferent. His godmother was still waiting, so he didn't have the time to chat with the editor.
Looking at the contract on the table that was still emitting the smell of ink, Lin Yi took it and went to Song Qian's house.
Ding dong, ding dong-
The doorbell rang, and Yingzi, who was doing her homework, got up to open the door.
After Lin Yi left for more than half an hour, Yingzi began to do the second paper. However, Lin Lei 'er's speed surprised Yingzi. He only used ten minutes for the first paper, and more than twenty minutes for the second paper. Now, he had already started to do the third paper. Although the number of questions was not large, the questions were not simple! When she made the first picture, she already felt that it was very taxing on her brain.
"Lin Yi, where did you go? You've been gone for so long.”Yingzi opened the door and saw that it was Lin Yi, so she asked curiously.
"The editor of the publishing house came to talk to me about the publication of the novel.”Lin Yi smiled and waved the contract in his hand. He seemed to be in a good mood.
"The novel is published!" Yingzi was stunned. She snatched the contract from Lin Yi's hand and flipped through it.
Song Qian, who was talking to Tong Wenjie about Fang Yifan's studies in Yingzi's room, saw Yingzi and Lin Yi standing at the door and smiled." Wenjie, don't be anxious. It's not necessarily a bad thing to be assigned to the basic class. Check the gaps and fill in the gaps. Let Fanfan work hard on the foundation. There's still hope for her results to go up."”
"Yeah, Wenjie, don't be too pessimistic.”Fang Yuan advised.
"Xiao Yi is back. I'll go take a look.”Song Qian patted Tong Wenjie's shoulder and got up to leave the room.
"How can I not be pessimistic? The students in this basic class are definitely not good at their studies. Fanfan is studying with a group of students with bad grades.”Tong Wenjie said to Fang Yuan with a bitter face. She turned her head to look out the window. Fang Yifan was still chewing on his fingers.
It had been half an hour, and the other party had done three papers. He had trimmed all ten fingers here. Tong Wenjie was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
"Mom! Look! Lin Yi's novel was about to be published! This was too awesome! He had written a novel without saying a word, and the publishing house wanted to publish it for him! Wouldn't he become a great writer in the future?”Yingzi said excitedly when she saw Song Qian coming over. She ran to Song Qian and showed her Lin Yi's contract as if she was presenting a treasure.
Song Qian took it and saw that it was the contract for the publication of the novel.
The title of the book, Touching Gold: Ghost Blows Out the Light, First World Literature Press, 10% share, author's name, Lin Yi, author's pen name, Master of Nine Sects.
"Xiao Yi, is this the novel you wrote a few days ago?”Song Qian still couldn't believe it. She had written it a few days ago, and today, she could discuss publishing with the publishing firm! Could he have been deceived?
"You're not going to pay for your book, are you?" Song Qian asked with concern.
"I'm not paying for it. I wrote the book, so of course they'll pay me for it. This publishing firm is quite famous and is one of the top publishing firms in the country.”
"By the way, your Uncle Fang is a lawyer. I'll get him to show you this contract. If there are any legal loopholes, he can tell you.”Song Qian was afraid that Lin Yi would be deceived, so she took the contract and walked towards Yingzi's bedroom.
Song Qian was worried that Yingzi would be disturbed when she was studying, so she specially modified Yingzi's bedroom and installed soundproof cotton. The windows were double-layered vacuum glass, and the soundproofing effect was not bad. Although it was not as good as a professional recording studio, the soundproofing effect was still very good.
As a result, Yingzi and the other students were doing their homework outside, while the adults were chatting in Yingzi's room.
After entering the house, Tong Wenjie was still discussing with Fang Yuan about Fang Yifan attending the foundation class. When she saw Song Qian walking in anxiously, she thought that something had happened.
"What's wrong, Song Qian?" Fang Yuan asked.
"Fang Yuan, take a look at this contract. Didn't Xiao Yi say that a publishing house would look for him to discuss publishing the novel? This is the contract given by the other party.”Song Qian said with a frown.
"Yes, Fang Yuan, take a look. Aren't you a professional?”Tong Wenjie also urged.
"Don't worry, let me take a look." Fang Yuan said as she took the contract.
Fang Duoduo moved to Fang Yuan's side and tiptoed to look at the contents of the contract. The little girl was very curious about this.
Yingzi and Lin Yi also entered the house and saw Fang Yuan flipping through the contract. Song Qian and Tong Wenjie stood at the side and looked out as well. The cutest one was Fang Duoduo. This little girl was not tall enough, so she tiptoed and tried her best to stick her little head out. She looked very interesting.
"Lin Yi, there's nothing wrong with your contract, right?”Yingzi asked Lin Yi softly.
"How is that possible? The editor of the novel website recommended it to the publishing house. After passing the review of the publishing house, he came to look for me.”Lin Yi shook his head and said with certainty.
"A novel website! What's the name of your novel? I'll go take a look." Yingzi was eager to try and took out her phone from her pocket.
" Gold Hunting: Light Blowing Ghost, Grave Robber's Chronicles, two books. Just read them. Don't read them for too long and affect your studies. Godmother will blame me.”Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Tsk, it's not as good as what you wrote. Why would I be addicted to it?”Yingzi rolled her eyes at Lin Yi and searched for Grave Robber's Chronicles on the Internet. Soon, the page of Grave Robber's Chronicles that Lin Yi had posted on the reading network was found.
Grave Robber's Chronicles
Author: Head of Nine Gates
Word Count: 82321
Flowers: 32,876
[Reward: 421121]
"Damn it! Why are there so many tips? 100 yuan each, 420,000 yuan! Lin Yi, how do you calculate this reward ratio?”Yingzi had never come into contact with online novels because of Song Qian's strict management. She did not know what the reward mechanism of novels was. When she saw the figure of 420,000, she was extremely surprised.
"1:100, 420,000 divided by 100 is 4,200 yuan. 50/50, half of it is from the website, so I only have 2,100 yuan.”Lin Yi said indifferently.
"2,100 is a lot of money. You're not bad. Someone tipped you 4,000 for 80,000 words. If you wrote more, the tip might be tens of thousands.”Yingzi said as she looked at Lin Yi with admiration.
This cheap godbrother of his was not bad! He had excellent academic results, sang well, and even wrote novels. Although he had yet to read the content, seeing so many people giving him so much money, the content must not be bad.
He was simply a treasure boy!

PS: What's going on? The review has their eyes on my old book. I'm going to change it after saying a few dirty words. In the future, I'll just write an essay. With this standard, Red Sorcery is a banned book here.
