Chapter 15 This kid is going to make a fortune!
Just as Guo Dalu was preparing to accompany Wang Xiaolu to go out for a trip during the summer vacation, Huanghe Literature and Art Publishing House had already begun to prepare for the physical sale of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
The publisher published the book The Legend of the Condor Heroes on the website slowly, and it was almost a month before it published more than ten chapters.
In fact, the number of words in these ten chapters is actually quite large, with about 300,000 words. Compared with many slow serialized works on the Internet today, the release speed of this novel is already very fast.
Few online serialized works in this world explode so quickly. Most of them are updated every two or three days, and some are updated only once a week or two weeks.
The book The Legend of the Condor Heroes is extremely rare in the entire history of online novel serialization, but it has also fully mobilized the great enthusiasm of online readers.
For these readers, the author who can maintain one update a day is already a conscientious author. If he can achieve two updates a day, it would definitely be a surprise.
What if someone can do three or four updates a day?
What a joke?
How could anyone do it?
Since the online novel serialization has been launched until now, no one has been so crazy about it!
But now this "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has done it.
People inside the publishing house and Guo Dalu knew that this book had actually been completed long ago, but readers don’t know it.
They all thought that this book was just a lot of manuscripts.
As a result, readers are enjoyable to watch, website traffic increases, and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is becoming more and more famous. New readers join in every day, and readers leave messages and sigh in the book review area at every moment, praising the author, and readers continue to give large rewards to this work that has been put on the shelves.
The income from the online subscription and rewards of this book has already been a huge expense.
But this author number is actually registered by the publishing house employees and has no direct relationship with Guo Dalu. It was not until Wang Xiaolu reminded Guo Dalu that Guo Dalu asked Jiang Dongliu about the issue of online income.
"Dalu, this matter was something we did not expect, and we didn't expect it to be so well reported on the Internet!"
After receiving a call from Guo Dalu, Jiang Dongliu said embarrassedly: "All the online income of this work must be yours. Our publishing house is only responsible for promotion. Our income mainly lies in publishing physical books. We have no reason to intercept the income on the Internet."
He told Guo Dalu: "After all, we only have the right to publish and promote!"
Guo Dalu asked: "How much is the online income now?"
Jiang Dongliu hesitated on the other end of the phone and said to Guo Dalu: "I don't know much about the specific amount. Please wait for me for a while and I'll ask Xiao Liu, who is responsible for publishing the works."
His cell phone did not turn off, so he kept the call directly and walked towards the nearby office. He could clearly hear his footsteps and breathing from the phone.
After a moment, it seemed that Jiangdong flowed to a woman and asked softly. After a while, a sudden scream rang out, "Damn, so much?"
Guo Dalu heard it clearly that this exclamation came from the east of the river.
Guo Dalu is quite familiar with Jiang Dongliu. Suli speaks slowly and speaks slowly, and he has never seen him lose his attitude. But now he feels like he is frightened by some numbers and can't help but swear.
"Big Road!"
Jiang Dongliu's breathing sound on the other end of the mobile phone is a bit thick, "Your book has a little more money online."
Guo Dalu felt itchy when he heard this and asked, "How many are there?"
Jiangdong Flow: "More than 179,000!"
"Damn!"
Hearing this number, Guo Dalu was a little uneasy, "So many?"
Jiangdong Liu said: "This is still the remaining money that is shared with the website! And the income will only be higher in the future!"
He said to Guo Dalu: "This fee will be sent out the website the day after tomorrow. Give me a bank card number directly. I'll ask our publishing house to directly call the website to your card."
Guo Dalu grinned and said, "How can you be so embarrassed?"
Jiangdong Liu said: "This is what you deserve."
Guo Dalu said: "Oh, why do you have the nerve to report it to you when you say that? We didn't mention online income in the contract!"
He said embarrassedly, but he had an extra bank card on his hand, "Listen, I'll read your bank card number!"
After Jiang Dongliu was silent on the other end of his phone for a while, "Da Lu, can you not breathe so much when you speak?"
Guo Dalu said: "Yes!"
He then said, "Do you believe it?"
Jiang Dongliu: "..."
Anyway, no matter what, by the third day, it was originally 170,000, but by the time of payment, the royalties had already been transferred to Guo Dalu's bank card.
Just as the first wave of royalties was received, the serialization of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that was being serialized online suddenly stopped when it was serialized in Chapter 15 "The Dragon Waving the Tail".
The website has an advertisement in the latest chapter of this book: This book starts selling physical books at the end of the month and is suspended online, with brackets. In fact, this book is already the complete work. I hope everyone can support physical books, purchase physical books, and give exquisite small gifts, first-buy first-served!
"Damn it, it turns out that the book is finished, no wonder it is updated so quickly!"
The online book review area is in full swing.
"Brothers, do you buy physical books?"
"Must buy it!"
"This book has the value of buying entities!"
"Not bad! You have to buy it. The key physical book has been completed. How can I not buy it? What should I read if I don't buy it?"
"Since I watched The Legend of the Condor Heroes, I feel like I am chewing wax when I read all the martial arts novels today. I feel like I am deeply fascinated by my little Huang Rong!"
"What is your little Huang Rong? It's obviously my little Huang Rong!"
"I don't care if you fight for Huang Rong, I just want my brother Jing!"
"Damn it, the female reader is surprised to appear! Please date!"
...
…………
Amid the rush of these readers, the physical book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" began to be sold.
Now physical book sales are divided into two channels, one is to go to physical bookstores, and the other is to sell directly online.
As a veteran enterprise, Huanghe Literature and Art Publishing House will naturally not ignore these two channels.
After following Guo Dalu's advice, the printing of the real book of this novel was divided into four volumes, divided into ordinary versions and hardcover versions.
The price of each volume of the ordinary version is eight yuan, and a set of four volumes is thirty-two yuan. The price is not expensive at all.
The price of each hardcover version is twelve yuan, and the price of four volumes is 48 yuan. In fact, the price is far lower than that of other novels of the same type.
Originally, Jiang Dongliu suggested that the price be raised a little, but it was opposed by Guo Dalu.
Although Guo Dalu doesn't know much about the book market, he knows that most readers on the Internet are young people nowadays. If the price is too high, it may lose a large part of potential readers, and it is better to make small profits and quick turnovers.
Jiang Dongliu also felt it was reasonable and after suggesting to President Wang Qinglong, he would take Guo Dalu's proposal.
On the day the book was released, Jiang Dongliu wanted to call Guo Dalu to go to the Southern Magic City to sign and sell books to increase his popularity, but was rejected by Guo Dalu.
According to Guo Dalu, he just made money silently and was spared if he showed up. He was a writer and not a star, so he made such a gimmick!
Jiang Dongliu was helpless and dared not force it, so he could only let him go.
Yellow River Literature and Art Publishing House.
President Wang Qinglong was sitting in the office and was reading a book, which was a hardcover version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Today is the day for physical books to be released. Although he knew that the sales of this book would be very good, after all, this "very good" is just in imagination. No one can guarantee what will happen until the moment he really enters the market.
Many popular online books have suffered failures when publishing entities, and Wang Qinglong cannot guarantee that Guo Dalu's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will definitely be very popular.
He was very nervous at first, but while reading the book The Legend of the Condor Heroes, he gradually became addicted and gradually forgot everything outside.
Wang Qinglong has actually read this book of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, but when he read it again, he is still addicted to it.
This book has such a magical power that makes people feel bored after reading it again and again, but the more they read it, the more they feel more and more interesting it feels.
"Bangbangbang"
A knock on the door sounded.
Wang Qinglong, who was reading a book with relish, put down the book without petitioning, "Come in!"
It was not until he put down the book that he remembered what day it was today, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I actually forgot about my work!"
Jiang Dongliu and He Chunsheng, two seniors from the publishing house, walked into the office at the same time.
"President!"
Jiang Dongliu looked excited, "Sales are even more popular than expected. All major physical bookstores have received feedback, and the first 100,000 copies sold out!"
Wang Qinglong looked at He Chunsheng, "How about online sales?"
Wang Qinglong's fat face was covered with sweat, and his excited face turned red, "Online sales are more popular than physical stores. Only one hour has been sold, and 80,000 units have been sold! Three hours have passed, and a total of 320,000 units have been sold, and now sales have begun to decline."
He said to Wang Qinglong: "President, the inventory is not enough!"
When Wang Qinglong started printing, the printing volume of 300,000 volumes was printed, which was actually the most printed in the past years.
Many employees in the publishing house think that too many first prints are difficult to digest, but Wang Qinglong disagrees with the public and forcibly printed 300,000 copies, which attracted a lot of discussion among the publishing house employees, all thinking that Wang Qinglong was too optimistic.
But now the 300,000 yuan is sold in one day. Even though Wang Qinglong had great expectations for this book, he still felt a little incredible after the data came out.
Wang Qinglong took a deep breath and said, "Tell the printing factory to print one million copies urgently!"
Chapter completed!
