55. Record-breaking sales (thank you for the tip from Hello We Are All a Family)
I continued to look through other posts, and they all had positive comments, mainly because the market has been waiting for the emergence of high-level mystery novels. Gu Cheng's new book happened to have a good opportunity, with the right time and place, and the books themselves are very outstanding, so I took the opportunity to ride the wind.
After changing the forum, Gu Cheng looked at everyone's discussion with great joy. Although the books were Chineseized by themselves, no one knew about them in this world.
And instead of letting these works be buried in your mind and disappear into your memory as time goes by, it is better to take them out for your own use.
Therefore, he naturally regarded these as his achievements, and he also put in the work and made the Chinese plot to make this book conform to the national conditions and reading habits of China. It was very hard to change the tone of his original speaking.
Just as I was happy, Gu Cheng's phone rang. I read the phone to remind me that it was Yu Qi, the editor-in-chief of the publisher.
"Hey, senior brother."
Gu Cheng connected, and first looked at Youyou in the cradle. At this time, the night was dark. He quietly turned on the small desk lamp on the table. The dim orange light came on, stood up, walked to the balcony, and pulled up the sliding door, fearing that his phone would wake up his daughter's comfortable dream.
"Orange, hahaha, you're really amazing."
Even though he couldn't see the other person's face on the phone, Gu Cheng could still feel the other person's excitement, and a rosy face had already emerged in his mind.
"That's just the average, hahahaha."
When Gu Cheng heard this tone, he knew that the other party would definitely bring good news, so he also joked when he was happy.
"You're so interesting."
Yu Qi rarely hears Gu Cheng’s joke, “By the way, guess what sales today?”
"I can't guess, but I must be very good at hearing what you look like."
"We broke the record. As of now, all cities have sales statistics of 150,000 copies. We have directly increased the first-day sales record by 50,000. Now we are proud. The partner's identity designation is my possession."
Yu Qi has been targeted by his competitors these days, and he has been particularly frustrated. As soon as the sales were released today, he became excited instantly. He even ran outside the door of his competitor's office and read out the sales volume loudly.
Although I didn't see my face, I heard the sound of thunderous thunder from outside the door, and I knew that the other party was not in high spirits.
Some people also say that he is a villain and he doesn't care at all. He won this confrontation, which is enough. His status in the publishing house will be stable in the future. Those who speak sour words have lost the capital to talk to him.
As for his current victory, of course, I have to feel that Gu Cheng’s help is not only because he chose his own publishing house, but also because he has endless publicity plans.
After experiencing the information explosion in his previous life, Gu Cheng has experienced all kinds of tricks from any merchant. If you adapt it with just two tricks, you can give this barren world a refreshing scene and stimulate sales.
"Senior brother, you're over-the-top."
Gu Cheng seemed very modest to Yu Qi's praise. The reason why he chose Yu Qi's publishing house was because the other party gave him good conditions. If he went to another publishing house, the recommendation and publicity level of this book might be just medium.
In addition, Yu Qi has a good relationship with him and has a good understanding of his character. He is not worried that the other party will cheat him on some things.
If such a thing happens, Yu Qi will undoubtedly be cut off from the alumni circle of BGI. In this country, the relationship network of the same school is still very broad. Many people make a difference by relying on this relationship network. As the top school in China, Huaguo University has countless talents. No one who can pass the exam here is stupid. No one can pick up sesame seeds or lose watermelons.
"You did help me a lot anyway."
Although Yu Qi was a little arrogant, he was still very rational in some things.
"We have already decided that the number of reprints is one million copies, and we will increase publicity at the same time. The royalty this time is 15%. I will let the finance department send you money early tomorrow morning."
One million copies, 25 yuan per copy, the total price is 25 million. Gu Cheng can get 15% of the royalties, and the share is 3.75 million. If you remove the tax deduction, you will get more than 3 million.
Gu Cheng suddenly became in a high mood. When it comes to money, who can be unhappy? It just so happens that he can buy the house he has seen.
"Then I will thank my senior brother."
"I thank you. By the way, do you have any clues about the new book? When the sales of this book are over, we can take advantage of this east wind to start the promotion of the next book, and the sales will definitely explode again."
Yu Qi finally asked his most concerned question. As the editor-in-chief of a publishing house, he is responsible for the business of the entire publishing house. Their performance appraisal is also a headache. If Gu Cheng can write another book this year, his pressure will be gone immediately.
"I have some clues, and I still need to consider it."
Gu Cheng also wanted to make more money, and replied to the book "No one survived" in his mind.
Raising children is very expensive. Although Youyou can't use them now, according to Gu Cheng's idea, his daughter will definitely live a superior life in the future, so it is correct to prepare early.
House prices are growing so fast that he wants to buy a few shops for his daughter to save. If there is any accident in the future, his daughter can also be very comfortable by collecting rent.
"That's good, that's good, no hurry, if you polish it slowly, quality is still very important."
When Yu Qi heard the answer he wanted, the folds at the corners of his eyes suddenly burst into laughter and comforted him.
"Also, I'm applying for those literary awards recently. Although our publishing house has become somewhat weak in recent years, it has also cultivated many literary masters before. These people are still very famous among the judges of the awards. With this incense, your book is very hopeful to win some newcomer awards."
Gu Cheng doesn't care about these things. The original works obtained by plagiarism have been confirmed in his previous life. I don't care much about whether I can get the award. Time will give them their due status.
However, with these awards, what comes with me is the increase in royalty sharing, and I am not rejected.
Thinking of this, Gu Cheng could only thank his senior brother for his trouble again and agreed that after the sales period of this book would be over, the two of them would have a good drink.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Cheng happily walked around the room for a few times, then squatted in front of the cradle and looked at Youyou's little face.
"Baby, Dad earns you a lot of money, Dad wants you to live the best life."
Chapter completed!
