Chapter 369 The price is so low
"I don't think there is any need to talk about it."
Zhao Kai smiled indifferently: "Actually, I am not particularly looking forward to the publication of "The Three-Body Problem".
"If I hadn't considered that some readers like to read paper books, I wouldn't have considered publishing, and it would have been fun to serialize on the Internet."
Now Zhao Kai’s novel “Three-Body Problem” is updated for free in the form of notes on the Weibo platform!
Every day, hundreds of thousands or even millions of readers read it, many of whom are already fascinated by this novel!
This made Weibo so happy. Zhao Kai is active on their platform, but it has brought a lot of traffic and users!
It's simply profitable!
The charm of "The Three-Body Problem" is that the more you read, the more you will be attracted by this novel until you become fascinated!
Especially the various imaginations of the future world in the medium term and the proposal of the theory of dark forests are even more amazing!
Although the original author of this book, Liu, although he is not a scientist, has a solid scientific foundation, coupled with rich imagination and in-depth research on human nature, the book "Three-Body Problem" has been achieved!
"The Three-Body Problem" was a compilation of Chinese science fiction novels in previous lives!
Now in this parallel world, there is no need to say more!
Seeing Zhao Kai's indifferent look, Wen Wan was instantly uneasy!
This cooperation is optional for Zhao Kai, but it is different for them Huaxia Publishing House!
Wen Wan soon realized that the negotiations between the two sides were not above a fair Libra!
"Mr. Zhao, it would be a pity if the novel "The Three-Body Problem" is such an excellent novel without being published!"
Wen Wan said sincerely: "If you have any conditions, please give it your best, and we will do our best to meet it!"
At this time, she no longer cared whether she would be beaten with a bamboo pole, as long as she could reach this cooperation!
"Since Editor Wen has said this, I'm not polite!"
Zhao Kai then smiled.
Seeing this smile, Wenwan couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart. I'm afraid it's not a knife hidden in her smile?
"Actually, you know that money is just a number to me!"
Zhao Kai spoke lightly, and Wen Wan on the side nodded subconsciously, feeling that it made sense...
If this sentence is said from others, it will definitely be a pretentious act!
But Zhao Kai’s net worth is hundreds of billions, so it sounds so reasonable to say this!
"I have no objection to the 73% share you just mentioned."
Wen Wan was a little surprised and thought Zhao Kai would speak loudly, but she didn't expect that he had no objection to the share ratio.
"But there are other aspects of the pricing power for publishing books, and I have the final say."
"Of course this is OK!"
Wenwan nodded quickly.
Zhao Kai smiled and said, "The novel "Three-Body Problem" has a total of 900,000 words. I plan to divide it into three parts, the first part of the past of the earth, the second part of the dark forest, and the third part of the immortality of the god of death."
"Of course it's OK!"
Wen Wan nodded quickly and said, "If a novel with a 900,000 word is divided into three books, it will be just right, not too much or too little!"
Moreover, Zhao Kai had even thought about the title of each part of the book just now, so they could save their publishing house from thinking about the title of each part of the book.
Zhao Kai asked casually: "How much does your publishing house price for a set of novels like this?"
"Generally speaking, it's about 100 yuan, but the price of popular books like "The Three-Body Problem" will be higher, about 15 yuan!"
Wen Wan answered truthfully that almost all domestic publishing houses priced in this way!
“A little expensive…”
Zhao Kai frowned slightly because in this parallel world, copyright protection is relatively strict, so not only are there pirated games, but even such pirated books are rare on the market!
Without the problem of piracy, publishers can rest assured. In terms of pricing, it is obviously much higher than in previous lives.
"Does Zhao always think it's a bit cheaper?"
Wen Wan said: "In fact, a book as excellent as "Three-Body Problem" will definitely not be bad if it sells for two or three hundred."
She subconsciously believed that wealthy people like Zhao Kai looked down on these three melons and two dates.
“Quality on the contrary!”
Zhao Kai said: "I think this price is a bit too high!"
"I hope the pricing of a complete set of "Three-Body Problem" will not exceed fifty rmb."
“Nani??”
Wen Wan was confused: "Mr. Zhao, this price is too low. Why don't you make money??"
She really didn't understand Zhao Kai's ideas and couldn't keep up for a while!
If you are priced at this price, you will definitely be able to sell it!
But it was completely unnecessary, and the profit was cut off by two-thirds!
"I just don't want some readers who like this book to stop because of the expensive price."
Zhao Kai smiled and said, "This little money is optional for me, but some poor consumer groups should care a lot about this little money."
"There should not be too high a threshold for reading this."
Hearing Zhao Kai's words, Wen Wan instantly felt awe!
After so many years in the publishing circle, this is the first time she has met someone like Zhao Kai, who has actively asked to reduce the pricing to this extent!
"If it is requested by other authors, the senior management probably disagrees."
Wen Wan smiled and said, "But since it was Mr. Zhao's request, I think there is no problem."
On the one hand, it is because the book "Three-Body Problem" is particularly valued by Huaxia Publishing House. Another reason is that Zhao Kai is now a rich man in China. Huaxia Publishing House must give him enough face and get along well with the relationship.
"I think Mr. Zhao's idea is very good, but if you price it according to this price, you probably won't make much money."
"This is not necessarily!"
Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Two versions can be released, one ordinary and the other collector's version. The collector's version can be made more refined. With some exquisite pictures, the pricing can be made higher."
"Good idea!"
Wen Wan's eyes lit up immediately.
Zhao Kai’s original intention is not to let the poor people not afford it, such as the student party, and you who have just entered the workplace, are very nervous. It is probably a pity to spend this money!
This group will definitely not spend so much money to buy collectible versions. People who buy collectible versions must have some spare money, so the pricing for rich people is not so friendly!
After confirming the cooperation, the two discussed some details!
Finally reach a cooperation!
“Happy cooperation!”
Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Tonight, I will send you the complete content of my "Three-Body Problem" to you. As for the next thing, I will leave it to your publishing house for the responsibility."
"Mr. Zhao, who has no problem, please believe in the professionalism of our Huaxia Publishing House!"
Wen Wan nodded solemnly, and at the same time she was a little expectant!
Chapter completed!
