Chapter 1012: The Ordinary World's Radio Sells (Supplement No. 31)(1/2)
"There is this matter, so the publication matter should be released."
The conflict between the two sides shows that the cooperation is unhappy. The publishing house is not a single one, and there is no need to curry favor with Li Dong's current fame.
"This is not the People's Literature Publishing House. The ordinary world is indeed too realistic. Now readers are more willing to read some realistic magical or scar literary works." Li Dong's book is even stronger.
The editors of major publishers did not read it. What could Li Dong do? The market feedback was not very good. The third volume was cut off and published in childhood, which was not even sold.
You should know that this is Li Dong who gave up the fixed royalty model and signed the copyright share. Although the share amount is high, it is necessary to sell it to make money. Otherwise, Li Dong would have to make up for some publication fees.
"I think it's pretty good to watch, they don't have the vision."
Huang Shengnan is still a little resentful to the People's Literature Publishing House.
"I am still confident that books are good, but the market does not accept them now. Fortunately, I am not short of this amount of money now, but I can wait."
"By the way, is this book going to be broadcast on Central Radio?"
"Yes, there are more people who know about this broadcast, maybe it will be better."
"I hope so, let's not talk about it anymore. Sister Zhang, I plan to release a new book recently."
Who knows this? Li Dong's new book is planning to let Zhang Li discuss publishing.
"New books are quite fast." Zhang Li was surprised. It would be good for ordinary writers to write one book a year, while Li Dong has several books this year.
"Science fiction subject?"
"Yes, a Galaxy Travel Diary, intending to produce three to five, and an Ander game."
"Two books?"
Not to mention Zhang Li’s surprise, Liu Sijun was quite surprised. Who wrote two books at a time?
"Wouldn't it be too tired?"
Huang Shengnan was worried, and Li Dong said with a smile. "Actually, it's not what I wrote together. Ende's game was actually completed last year. Today I wrote the Diary of Galaxy Travel, but I've been too busy recently and only wrote the first two."
"Sister Zhang, I'll trouble you with these two books."
Li Dong originally wanted to get a new pseudonym, but it was a bit troublesome, so he continued to use *** very reliable. If this English name is not translated, who knows what it means?
"No trouble, I can talk more about the royalties sharing this time."
Zhang Li said with a smile. "The latest masterpiece of the winner of the three major science fiction awards is full of publicity stunts. I think many publishers are rushing to ask for it."
"I hope so."
"Absolute." Huang Shengnan was always full of confidence in Li Dong. This made Li Dong always feel that Liu Sijun glanced at him from time to time, saying that he had not given your daughter a 'dream'. We are pure revolutionary friendship.
"By the way, the royalties in Japan have been settled, or are they invested in the stock market?"
"Yes, I gave you the list last time, you looked at it and bought it."
"Of course, leave some and invest in the real estate company." Li Dong thought about it, but didn't even ask how much it cost.
However, Liu Sijun asked with concern and Zhang Li said with a smile. "The manuscript fee plus the authorization of Tang Jike De Company of one million US dollars, a total of 2.36 million US dollars."
"More than two million dollars?"
Liu Sijun took a breath of air conditioning. It was so profitable to write about it. How long did it take? "The first three months."
"More than two million in three months?"
"Mom, one million of them is the authorization fee I signed a few days ago."
"That's not much."
One million US dollars, the average of more than 400,000 US dollars in January, is exchanged for RMB, and Liu Sijun has the ability to exchange for one million to two million.
"This is just the royalties for Japan."
"This, this time it's mainly luck. The illustration version of Transformers is sold well in Japan." Speaking of which, Li Dong's style is similar to that of later generations of mechas, which is very cool and just caters to the current Japanese market.
Although Li Dong was a little surprised, it was not surprising, but he didn't expect it to be so popular.
"This is not luck, the sales in the United States are also very good."
The main illustrations are so good. Zhang Li asked someone to ask about it. This style has appeared for the first time and is quite groundbreaking. Zhang Li was still very surprised when she heard it. She can only say that Li Dong is too talented.
"In the first three months, there were more settlements between the United States and Europe than in Japan."
"The Japanese market is still not as good as Europe and the United States."
With population problems and development, Japan is entering a period of rapid development. I think the Japanese market will be better in a few years.
Liu Sijun was secretly surprised when she heard this. It was better than the Japanese market. That was not to say that it was at least 1.5 million US dollars, or even more than 2 million. This kid did nothing but wrote a book and made money shocking enough.
"I really refused the Japanese sales signing party, can't I go there?"
"I won't go, I haven't even gone to the US awards."
Li Dong shook his head slightly. "I really don't want to run away anymore. Besides, the orders for baskets and mosquito-killing grass are so busy, let alone the academics at Nanjing University, and Professor Zhong plans to hand me a research topic."
“Research topic?”
Liu Sijun looked at Li Dong. This was not something that a freshman could do, but it was not too surprising to think that Li Dong created artificial bamboo fungus and mosquito-killing grass. If he was Teacher Li Dong, he would definitely add some tasks to Li Dong. It would be better to do more topics with the name of Nanjing University.
Especially in a short time, Li Dong created artificial bamboo fungus and mosquito-killing grass. The bamboo fungus was still on the Nanjing University brand, but there was no mosquito-killing grass at all. According to Li Dong's research speed, he might have achieved any results, but he wouldn't be trapped.
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether your conditions are to go to college or not." Zhang Li initially hoped that Li Dong and Huang Shengnan would go to the United States to go to college. However, Li Dong was not very willing, and Huang Shengnan also gave up going abroad. Now the two have obtained their marriage certificates and have given up going abroad.
"I still have to go to college. I regret it even if Shengnan didn't go to college."
Huang Shengnan murmured in a low voice, I am not a good student for college, I can’t compare to Li Dong. Liu Sijun listened to her daughter’s whisper and couldn’t laugh or cry. “You didn’t try it, how could you know.”
"Actually, you can give it a try, Shengnan. I still have some experience in the exam, so it's not difficult to help you get into a university."
Li Dong said this, and Zhang Li and Liu Sijun didn't feel that Li Dong was bragging. He was the first in the college entrance examination in the country. Who dares to say that he can't take the exam?
"I'll just forget it."
Huang Shengnan doesn’t have that strong career aspirations, and just hopes to live a small life with Li Dong. It’s great. Besides, there are many jobs in the foreign trade company, so he can’t calm down. “You girl, forget it, you can’t, but you can’t read the books.”
"You don't have to worry, Shengnan has been studying recently."
Zhang Li still knows that although Huang Shengnan is not very career-oriented, she doesn’t like herself to be too far behind Li Dong. She usually reads and studies when she has free time. She asks her for advice. If you don’t say anything else, Huang Shengnan’s English level is now very high, and there is no problem with daily conversations.
Zhang Li actually thought Huang Shengnan was very smart, but she seemed a little less dazzling than Li Dong, a monster-like genius.
"It's getting late, Shengnan, you go to work first."
"Mom, I'll send Shengnan to the venue."
"Go."
"These two kids are quite warm."
Liu Sijun felt better when he saw Li Dong, and the mother-in-law liked the son-in-law the more she saw him. Not to mention Li Dong's surprises. "Zhang Li, how many overseas industries are there in this child? My dad mentioned this last time, and I was shocked."
"I'm not sure about the specificity."
Zhang Li couldn't calculate how much the stocks they bought rose or fall for a while, and probably had a bottom. "Now at least $10 million, there are shares in the underwear factory and shares in the real estate company."
"Ten millions of dollars?"
Although Liu Sijun was prepared, she was still shocked. "The royalties are so high?"
"Not only the manuscript fee, but also some money earned in the stock market in the past year."
"Stocks, this kid still understands this?"
Zhang Li nodded, she was also very curious. Why did Li Dong still understand stocks? In fact, Li Dong knew a hammer and just bought according to the rise and fall list of later generations, and buying dozens of stocks would not affect the stock price at all.
Almost all profits were made, and there were a lot of doubled them. Zhang Li was very surprised at Li Dong's vision. Except for some stocks, he made almost all profits, and he made a lot of profits.
Li Dong didn't know that Liu Sijun was concerned about his wealth and wealth while riding a bicycle and carrying Huang Shengnan towards Liuhua Square. "You are going to swim tonight, the swimming pool is open to the public."
"Okay, I'll buy two swimsuits in the back."
"Um."
The two walked into the venue, and to Li Dong's surprise, almost all the staff knew him. "Teacher Li, you are here."
"Don't, just call me my name, I can't afford it, teacher."
Li Dong waved his hand quickly.
"You are too modest."
"No, I'm not used to it."
"Okay, Mr. Li Dong is OK."
Liu Hui was happy and pulled a chair for Li Dong to sit down. "Shengnan, I really envy you."
"Envy me?"
"There is such a considerate person."
"ah."
Huang Shengnan's face turned slightly red. "By the way, didn't the manager come?"
"Xiaoxia signed the order, and the manager confirmed the signature."
