But the first release also needs to be negotiated. First of all, it needs the consent of the publishing house and the book company, because both Han Han and Guo Jinming have signed the contract. They are only responsible for writing the book, and distribution is the matter of the book company and the publishing house.

Guo Jinming was in Shanghai, which was the closest to Hangzhou, so Cai Congxin went to Shanghai as his first stop to talk to Guo Jinming first. If he agreed, the rest of the matter would be easier to handle.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Cai Congxin arrived at Guo Jinming's studio.

The person at the front desk was a girl in her early 20s with a ponytail. She didn’t use makeup, it was all natural, and even if the sun shone on her face, she couldn’t see any blemishes. Cai Congxin said sincerely - her skin is really good.

I made an appointment through Baba Company before coming, so I met Guo Jinming soon.

Guo Jinming is 22 years old. He is thin and short, and his skin is very white. But the paleness is not caused by staying up late.

"Hello, I am Cai Congxin from Baba Company."

After the two finished the ceremony, they quickly got to the point.

Cai Congxin expressed his thoughts: "As the Internet becomes more and more developed, traditional book sales will also tip the balance."

When he was in Citi Country, Cai Congxin downloaded e-books from Amazon, which was much cheaper than buying books.

That's why he dared to make such a bold prediction.

Guo Jinming was stunned for a moment. What did he want to explain with this opening statement?

"I would like to hear the details!" Guo Jinming said.

Cai Congxin continued to say that buying books on the Internet has become popular in foreign countries. The sales of online books are rising steadily every year. Now Baba Company has opened a book section and invites book dealers to settle in, especially well-known writers such as Guo Jinming.

If Guo Jinming moves in, Baba will do its best to help sell Guo Jinming's books. In this way, Guo Jinming's income will increase a lot. Baba will give Guo Jinming a settlement fee of 500,000 per year, but Guo Jinming will be required to open three Baba games every year.

Book club meeting.

Cai Congxin said a lot.

Half an hour later, Guo Jinming said: "I basically understand what Mr. Cai said, which is to let me cooperate with your company. You will help me sell my books and expand my reputation."

"Yes, that's what it means."

"Online shopping is indeed a fashionable thing, and I am quite interested in it, but I don't care. I have a contract with Tianxia Book Company, and all my books are published by Tianxia Book Company."

"Then can you talk to your boss? I believe your boss will agree, because this is a win-win situation, so why not do it."

Guo Jinming's expression suddenly became clouded.

Cai Congxin's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the relationship between him and his boss was very bad? If it was so bad, why not terminate the contract?

With Guo Jinming's current reputation, he could open a book studio independently or find a large book company. Why rely on a small book company?

Cai Congxin had already checked the information before coming here. After reading the information, he felt it was quite strange.

"You should discuss the distribution matters with Tianxia Book Company. I have no right to interfere."

"Okay! I'll talk to you again after the negotiation with Tianxia Books is completed."

"Can."

Cai Congxin had no choice but to turn around and find Tianxia Book Company.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Tianxia, ​​the owner of the book company, received Cai Congxin.

The first time he saw Zhao Tianxia, ​​Cai Congxin's heart was agitated.

Damn it, this guy looks so much like a traitor.

Zhao Tianxia has beady eyes, a bipartite head, and buck teeth. His smile is obviously friendly, but it looks like a treacherous smile.

"Please have a seat, please have a seat!" Zhao Tianxia politely offered his seat.

After a few pleasantries, Cai Congxin got to the point. After spending a few minutes explaining his purpose, Zhao Tianxia's face froze.

"Mr. Zhao, this is a win-win situation. If you think the first release is not possible, we can change it to the online and bookstore release together. These are two different tracks and will not have any impact. I guarantee that online sales of books will not

Worse than store sales.”

Zhao Tianxia's eyes turned cold, so cold that they dropped so sharply that there were ice shards in his eyes, which made Cai Congxin extremely confused.

"Mr. Cai, I thought you were going to talk about some business. I'm sorry, I'm not interested in online sales. Please come back." Zhao Tianxia refused.

"Mr. Zhao..." Cai Congxin was surprised and had no reason to refuse, "If you think about it again, this is a win-win situation."

"My sales model is very mature. I have more than 30 dealers. It will be very troublesome to set prices for online sales."

There are prices at the back of the books, but most books will be cheaper than the list prices. This is the benefit of book dealers. Dealers are also divided into first-level agents, second-level agents, and third-level agents.

For example, for a book, the book company gets the manuscript from the author and prints it out. The cost of a book is 8 yuan. If it gives the first-level distributor a price of 15 yuan, the book company earns 7 yuan; the first-level distributor pays the second-level distributor

The second-level distributor gives 19 yuan to the third-level distributor, and the third-level distributor can only earn 1 yuan. Although one yuan is less, it is quite a lot. At least several million copies must be published a year.

Books, even third-tier distributors can make millions.

This is a chain of interests.

Zhao Tianxia does not want to break the profit chain that has been in business for many years. Skipping dealers and selling books online will affect the pricing and sales of level 123 dealers.

In other words, it will break the order.

After hearing this, Cai Congxin said: "Mr. Zhao, I understand what you mean, but online shopping is the general trend, and there will be e-books in the future. Do you know Amazon, a company that also engages in e-commerce? Their main business is e-commerce.

The era of books and paper media will pass, so why not join the platform now and open an online bookstore first? When the time comes, you can convert all your books into electronic books and sell them, which will make a lot of money."

Cai Congxin explained it with sincerity and presented a piece of data. The sales of books in the entire Yanxia period continued to decline year by year, while the number of Internet users increased year by year.

Several online literature websites have appeared on the Internet, the largest of which is "Under the Banyan Tree", which focuses on modern romance literature.

At that time, online writing had not yet emerged.

I have said a lot, but I just want to express that it is time for you to transform. The traditional sales model will eventually collapse.

But Zhao Tianxia just couldn't listen.

This made Cai Congxin anxious. He gave another example: "Mr. Zhao, we used to use video recorders to watch movies, and then VCDs. Now we download and watch movies online without spending money. The world is changing with each passing day. The final result of clinging to the old is

If you want to perish, it is better to cooperate with Baba Company and settle in our company, we will give you the best service."

Zhao Tianxia was already irritated after hearing this. He suddenly slapped the table and yelled: "You just like a few writers under my banner and want to use their popularity to increase the reputation of your company. Don't pretend to be in front of me."
