"Zhengyu, publishing a novel has a certain element of gambling. The publishing firm is not stupid. If the ratio is too high, it will be fine if we make a profit, but if we lose in the end, then there's nothing to say.”
"Besides, this book isn't finished yet. I don't know how the whole book will turn out. For example, whether the follow-up plot and the strength of the pen could still maintain the same quality as the ones that had been published so far. These were all risks, and the publishing house would take them into consideration.”
"Oh ~"
Chen Zhengyu nodded, indicating that he understood. After thinking about it, he decided to take out some of the dry goods to give his little friend some confidence.
He took a sip of red wine, swirled it in his mouth, and said with a smile.
"Boss, actually…I've already finished writing this book…"
"The quality of the later plots is not much different from the ones that have already been released. In fact, they might even be more exciting.”
He didn't say much, but the other party would understand!
As expected, when Lord Hua heard that the book had been finished, she raised her eyebrows and appeared a little surprised.
It wasn't unusual for an author to have a copy, but it was rare to have so many copies.
Anyone who could become the chief editor was not simple. He immediately caught the meaning behind Chen Zhengyu's words.
His expression became serious, and he began to think without saying anything.
Nuannuan, who was standing at the side, was not as composed as she was. When she heard that she had finished writing the book, she immediately exclaimed.
Her small red lips turned into a circle and slightly pouted. Under the light, they sparkled with oil.
To be honest,
It was a little alluring, and it made people think about other places.
This mouth must be pretty good ~
Nuannuan was a little unsettled. Here came the problem.
"Are you really done? 1.5 million words? You're amazing. Didn't you prepare for the college entrance examination and study?”
Chen Zhengyu smiled and said that these were all written during the summer vacation. He also said that this book had actually been written for a long time, so he made things sound more reasonable.
He even said how fast he was going…
Inspiration often burst out and so on…
Nuannuan was stunned. Her big eyes were filled with stars when she heard the last part.
At this moment, Nuannuan had a very good impression of Chen Zhengyu. He didn't expect this guy to be as handsome as his pen name.
He was very good at writing novels and his ability to earn money was first-class.
Look, this guy was able to chat happily with Chief Editor Hua on his first meeting!
"Zhengyu, you've hidden yourself quite well. Haha ~"
At this moment, Lord Hua laughed and teased.
"You wrote the work yourself, so you know it best. Since you're so confident, let's do this…"
When Chen Zhengyu returned to his hotel room, it was already 9:30 pm.
After taking a shower, he lay on the bed and hugged his computer. He downloaded and installed a straight flush and began to browse the stock market information.
Since they were already in Hangzhou, there was much more room for operation.
He planned to make a big deal out of it after the publishing matter was settled!
To make a fortune, one had to do it early ~ Shanghai Literature Press. The three of them arrived in Hangzhou on August 18th.
The people accompanying the publishing house were very professional. There was a legal officer, a content editor, and a deputy chief editor.
In the afternoon,
Chen Zhengyu opened a small conference room in the hotel. The three parties officially met to discuss the specific cooperation matters.
Just as Lord Hua had expected, these publishing houses preferred to buy out and do this kind of one-shot deal.
Shanghai Literature Press offered 500,000 yuan to buy out the publishing rights of the physical book," Overbearing President Fell in Love with Me."
This price was actually very fair, because the current market price was like this, and this was the first money paid by the publishing house.
However, this was far from what Chen Zhengyu and the website had expected, so Chen Zhengyu directly rejected it.
The publishing firm's deputy chief editor continued to talk about the benefits of buying it out, but Chen Zhengyu was unmoved. He directly said that it was better to talk about the agreed royalties.
The content editor said that after internal discussion, they felt that this novel had great potential.
He planned to publish the first, second, and third volume of the book. One volume was 500,000 words, and the three volumes were worth exactly 1.5 million. It was priced at 21 yuan per copy.
The royalty ratio was 5%.
Lady Hua appeared and told the publishing house that Chen Zhengyu had actually finished writing the entire book. The plot was still online.
In order to increase his credibility and persuasiveness, Chen Zhengyu took out his notebook.
In the post-production and post-production stages, he took out 10,000 words each and let the content editor at the publishing house take a look.
After reading it,
Lord Hua immediately brought out the plan that they had agreed on last night to the deputy managing editor.
After more than an hour of discussion, the three parties finally reached a consensus.
Based on the final sales volume of the physical book, the royalty would be 6%. For every 500,000 copies sold, the royalty would increase by one point.
Additional conditions: The highest royalty is 15%; The sales of the first, middle and second books can be accumulated.
In other words, for one million copies, the royalty would be 7%. 1.5 million copies, 8% royalty.
In order to achieve the highest royalty of 15%, Chen Zhengyu's book would have to sell five million copies.
Five million copies sounded like a fantasy and impossible, but for the sake of the contract's strictness, it was still added.
No one had thought about whether they could achieve that. Even Chen Zhengyu himself felt that it would be good enough to sell two million copies.
The legal department of the publishing house made a contract according to the agreement.
Both Chen Zhengyu and the publishing house signed their names and pressed their fingerprints.
That night, the three parties had another meal, and the host and guest were happy.
Editor Nuannuan had wanted to stay in Hangzhou for a few more days so that she could spend more time with Chen Zhengyu.
As he said this, Chen Zhengyu kept drinking his drink and playing with his phone. He did not respond at all.
The girl was very beautiful and elegant. This was true!
But now, he wanted to be a good person. He didn't want to be like before, where his lower body always dominated his brain.
In this life, he wanted to work on his heart first, then his kidneys. Moreover, what he wanted to do the most now was to earn money.
Women would only slow down his money-making speed.
Hence, Nuannuan left in the end, and the two of them exchanged phone numbers.
……
Until the third day.
Chen Zhengyu was finally free.
After having breakfast at the hotel, he took a taxi to a well-known large-scale stock exchange company in Hangzhou.
After explaining his purpose of visit, a young business manager received him.
Looking at the youth on the other party's face, Chen Zhengyu guessed that the other party was either in the internship period or had just graduated.
In the case of insufficient capital, the best way to increase profits was to allocate capital and leverage.
The highest was 10 times, 500,000 to 500,000, 100,000 to 10 million.
All he needed to do was pay a certain percentage of interest to the security company.
The greater the benefits, the greater the risks!
The leverage funds provided by the security company and the client's principal were all in an account that was constantly monitored by the security company.
Once the money in this account fell by more than 10%, it would be forced to close the position. All the money in it, including the principal, would belong to the security company.
