Chapter 40 Storms

Because the New York Times has too much influence in the United States and even in the entire Western world.

As soon as this happened, the media industry suddenly had a situation where people were in trouble and praised them from all directions.

As a result, a public opinion storm that was originally targeted at online piracy immediately became a situation where traditional media encircled the New York Times.

The click-through rate as a weapon has been rising all the way.

"The Arcane God" can also take advantage of this east wind and its sales have soared.

Finally, within a week, it reached 16th on the bestseller list and temporarily ranked first before "Song of Ice and Fire".

And the most amazing thing is that in Princeton, a physics professor in the Department of Theory who loves fantasy literature, saw the first volume of "The Arcane God".

I am very interested in the knowledge of the setting of power.

So he recommended this novel to the school.

In the end, with the unanimous approval of many physics professors, this novel became a recommended reading material for the Ivy League.

This is also the first fantasy novel that was recommended by Ivy League.

Such things made many rejected writers feel moved.

Huh?

So this is possible?

So, these writers soon registered their personal websites and placed their works on the website.

They hope that more people will see their works.

However, due to fame and other reasons, most of these personal websites have very few clicks.

So, these people looked at them again...

They tap into part of their work where readers leave messages.

I hope that those readers who read "The Arcane God" can see their works and give them comments after reading the online part.

I have to say that these people really love literature.

Instead of being like Wang Jian, the first thing you consider is always your own interests.

At this moment, Wang Jian had just received a call from the publishing house editor and received the news.

Within one week, "The Arcane God" sold 70,000 copies across the United States.

He immediately began to calculate how much money he had made.

A novel costs $40.

10% royalty share,

70,000 volumes.

Then, you can get $280,000.

Plus the guaranteed royalty is $120,000.

Then the first volume of "The Arcane God" alone earned $400,000 for himself.

The most critical question is that this is only 300,000 words.

You know, the complete version of "The Arcane God" is as high as 3.3 million words!

This shows that putting one-third of the books on the Internet and then tempting these readers to buy them is an effective promotion method.

Then, this website needs to be maintained.

Wang Jian looked at Jack Dorsey, who was still frantically patching bugs on the website.

I think it's time to give this website a little bit of sweetness.

After all, you can’t just let the horse work and not let the horse eat grass, right?

"Hey, Dorsey." Wang Jian patted the other party's shoulder and asked, "If you please manage this website specifically, how much is the right salary for you?"

"Salary?" Dorsey looked back at Wang Jian with a little confused and said, "After the publication of "Arcane God", do you still need this website?"

Wang Jian looked at the third novel whose thickness was slowly revealed in his mind, and replied with affirmative answer: "Of course, I hope it will continue to exist."

"Until all the novels in my mind are published," he added silently in his heart.

Dorsey thought seriously this time.

He turned the computer chair, pondered for a moment, and said, "If I need to help manage the website in the short term, I can do it for free."

"If it is long-term, we have to consider the salary level of a top programmer under the current Internet boom."

He looked at Wang Jian with a smile, and then said, "This salary must be much higher than the initial cost of building a website. So, are you sure?"

Wang Jian thought about it for a while and asked, "How many are you specific?"

"80,000 USD a year," Dorsey said: "Friendship Price."

80,000?

Program employees' salaries are really high.

Wang Jian was secretly shocked.

Dorsey said again: "In fact, it can also be converted into shares, just 15%."

He shrugged, "After all, I really like fantasy literature."

"Let me think about it." Wang Jian replied.

Dorsey took a "ok" position, then turned around and started to blow water with others as the author of "Arcane God".

Just as the two discussed the future.

The one who was named and criticized with Wang Jian’s website was in the office building of Cadabra.

Its founder, bald Bezos, was heading to a group of employees and began a speech.

"Randon Books has authorized us books with electronic copyrights. We must seize the Internet reading boom that has caused and start business quickly."

"At the same time, prevent this incident from happening again."

After everyone nodded, Bezos instructed the programmer and said, "Go back online."

So, books and pricing with various colors of skin began to emerge on the employees' computers.

Finally, the name of the website, the big black letter, was loaded.

“amazon”.

And just below the icon of this website, the cover of a novel is placed in the most conspicuous position.

If you look closely, it is "Song of Ice and Fire".

In the distant Europe, a woman named JK Rowling was looking at her favorite "The Sun".

Suddenly, she discovered the author of "I Am the Great Master" and released a new novel called "The Arcane God".

Then, the author also posted part of the novel online.

In addition, he will discuss the plot with readers from time to time.

After thinking for a moment, she quickly ran back to her residence.

Turn on the computer and log in to this website.

After she was fascinated by the part published by "The Arcane God" online, she began to read the reader's message area.

However, she found that in the reader's message area, some works of other authors were published.

Then, readers who come from "The Arcane God" will also watch and evaluate.

And even the author of "The Arcane God" sometimes comments one or two.

So she took a deep breath.

Back in the bedroom, I took out the manuscript written to coax the child.

Then, I also learned from others in the first few chapters of this work and tapped it into the message board.

Let’s look at the name again, it is “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”.

Finally, the bottom of her own work reads: New writer, creating loneliness.

I hope all readers and the author of "Archaezing God" will comment.

Thank you sincerely!

ps: I finished writing again in a confused state.

The withdrawal reaction has been extremely serious recently, probably because I have a pack of one and a half a day, and it has a history of smoking for 13 years.
Chapter completed!
