I signed and shook hands, but there was no reporter to take photos. However, Lin Han also received his signature fee. A complete collection of out-of-print works was printed in the whole world and he had to collect it himself.?

"Happy cooperation!" Lin Han shook hands with Zhao Han with a smile.

In the future, he will continue to cooperate with Renmin University Press. As for now, he is very satisfied.

Zhao Han was relieved. Although he failed to tie Lin Han to the publishing house completely, it at least relieved the urgent problem and would not be stolen by other publishing groups.

"Lin Han, you have more rest, don't worry about the new book, we can afford to wait." With the peak of "Inception", Zhao Han did not want to see Lin Han's new book level decline.

"Don't worry, I know what you think. You just say this, I wish I handed you the new book right away!"

Lin Han also plans to have a good vacation for himself. This year he clearly said that he would reduce the intensity of work, but he really talked about it.

Zhao Han looked at his confident look and asked with concern: "Then have you thought about what you have written for a new book now? Readers are looking forward to your return to the hard science fiction field."

Here I said there is no rush to new books, but I immediately started to care about the theme of the new book, and it would not be faster to slap in the face!

"It's not decided yet, you don't have to worry, it's definitely not bad." Lin Han really didn't think about what to write, so he decided to go back and think about it, and at the same time he also slowed down the readers.

Walking out of the office of Renmin University Press, the June sunshine made them unable to help but squint. After equipping the sunglasses, Lin Han spoke to the familiar lawyer: "I'm sorry to you again, see you next time."

"No trouble, my job is the most enviable thing in the firm. The work intensity is low and you can still get your signature book."

After Chen Jiaxuan waved at him, she sat in the passenger seat of Lin Han's Audi and left with Lin Han.

This time I came to Renmin University Press. On the one hand, the contract renewal is also a simple query of the sales situation in the previous few months to facilitate the verification of subsequent manuscript fees!

...

"It's still early now, what are we going to do?" Chen Jiaxuan didn't understand where Lin Han's destination this time. He drove very purposefully.

Lin Han shrugged and said, "Didn't this be a coincidence of looking at his bank card? Now there is a lot of money inside. I just think the house is a little small, so just change to a villa. Otherwise, your cloakroom can't even put so many clothes in it. Maybe you can buy one with a swimming pool and you can swim at your own home in the summer."

"Have you chosen the right place?"

"No, this is going to see the agent and save us some time. Let's discuss where to buy it now!"

Money can't beat inflation when put in the bank card. Since Lin Han can make so much money every month, he doesn't need to make his life difficult.

Of course, if it would be a hard time to own a high-rise house of more than 100 square meters in Yanjing, people across the country would probably be willing to bear this hardship!

Chen Jiaxuan thought for a while and said, "I remember that the villas in Yanjing are mainly distributed in Mentougou in the west, Huairou and Miyun in the north, Chaoyang in the east, Shunyi in the east, Fangshan and Daxing in the south. In terms of price, it should be the most expensive in the east, and the rest are more convenient. What is your psychological price?"

"Psychological price, half of the balance in the bank card."

"How much? Half? Are you going to buy a villa or a manor!" Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but raise her tone, and she couldn't help but raise her a little!

Lin Han answered while driving: "Is this a lot? I thought the villas were very expensive, so I didn't buy them last year."

More than a year ago, Chen Jiaxuan's net worth was many times that of Lin Han, but in less than two years, Lin Han successfully turned around and almost made a lot of money from scratch.

The domestic simplified royalties are divided into the download of e-books, and the packaging and buying out of Origin Bookstore. These are already astronomical numbers!

However, that is not the big part of Lin Han’s income. The real big part comes from overseas royalty income. He earns US dollars, euros, Australian dollars and the like.

Of course, there are some copyright sales that are insignificant, such as movie adaptation rights, game adaptation rights, etc. These are just icing on the cake!

In January last year, Lin Han ranked third in the writers’ rich list with oo million in royalties. That was actually his theoretical income, and actually he had to pay Chen Jiaxuan a 10% commission for literary agents, etc.

But from January to June this year, his income continued to grow like a snowball, and now his deposit balance has become 9 digits!

From being unable to afford rent to having assets exceeding 100 million yuan, Lin Han's property accumulation is as high as ordinary people imagine. Each book sells millions of copies, and physical sales and electronic channel sales are on par, so he has the confidence to buy a villa in Yanjing.

Calculate the total sales increase since January last year, and the global sales volume has changed from 120,000 copies to 310,000 copies. Among them, the "Three-Body Problem" trilogy contributed a lot. "The Wandering Guide to the Galaxy" lives up to expectations, "The Bouquet for Algeron" is a surprise, and some previous books continue to sell well!

The authors' royalties were received relatively late. In fact, part of the money Lin Han received in June was actually from March this year, January this year, and even from December last year.

The time for settlement of manuscript fees in each channel is different. Renmin University Press is the one who is the most busy. He pays Lin Han’s manuscript fee first out of his own pocket. After calculating Lin Han’s manuscript fee based on the actual sales situation each month, he will be transferred to his card.

In fact, the funds of those dealers will have to be delayed by half a year before they can return to the Renmin University Press, so Lin Han is willing to deal with them.

If the royalties that have been delayed in the past few months are included, Lin Han's assets may be close to 200 million before tax!

However, the higher the income, the higher the taxes, and Lin Han made considerable contributions to the country. The royalties and royalties were withheld by the publishing house, so the amount of personal operations was very small.

This is the income tax for manuscript fees, and it cannot be avoided like personal income tax such as private business owners. Corporate executives can evade wages, investors and chambers of investors choose to marry taxes, and nine out of ten painters do not pay taxes!

Those who are lying in Lin Han’s bank card have already paid the tax and paid the broker’s share, so Chen Jiaxuan was surprised when he said he could buy a villa with half of the balance in the bank card!

As Lin Han’s agent, Chen Jiaxuan will see any income he earns, so she knows that half of Lin Han’s assets are nearly 70 million yuan.

She said, "Seventy million is too much, there is no need to spend so much. Now the price of villas in eastern Yanjing is generally around 10 million. We only have two people to live in, just buy a normal-sized one."

"Villas are so cheap? It costs millions to buy a house in Yanjing, but a villa is so cheap?"

"Ahem, it's not actually." Chen Jiaxuan was a little embarrassed, "You can only buy 10 million in the remote suburbs, and a normal villa costs 20 million."

Now, Lin Han should not only consider the price, natural factors, etc., but also consider the supporting conditions of the villa, such as whether there are relatively mature supporting facilities such as business, education, and medical care to make life more convenient and thus improve the quality of family living.

There are many things to pay attention to when purchasing villas. Even in the same villa community, the prices of villas with different locations are different. The total price of a good location is higher, while the total price of a side location is relatively low!

Lin Han was not planning to buy a palace-style villa, as it would be too troublesome to live there. Maybe he and Chen Jiaxuan would turn into hide-and-seek when they were looking for someone inside, as long as the house was enough.

The two reached an agreement on this area, and a single-family villa is their best choice!

The intermediary has known Lin Han's identity for a long time, and of course he trusts the purchasing power of this best-selling writer very much, so he kept introducing various good properties for sale to Lin Han and the others.

After reading all of this dizzyly, Lin Han and the others initially decided to buy a house in the old villa area of ​​Rose Garden. The environment here is very good, Wenyu River is not frozen all year round, and the greening facilities are complete; and the neighbors are of very high quality and the community is harmonious.

The most important thing is that there are several universities in Yanjing around the villa community, such as Yanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Central College of Finance and Economics, Yanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China University of Mining and Technology, etc., with a strong atmosphere of book fragrance!

"The structure of five bedrooms, three living rooms, one kitchen and four bathrooms is very suitable for your family. There is also a 150 square meter basement that can be used as an audio-visual room, a wine cellar or a multi-function study. There is a large garden of 1,000 square meters outside, which can be renovated with a large space."

Lin Han looked at Chen Jiaxuan, and he smiled and said, "170,000 yuan, spend time to decorate it yourself. This is our future nest."

"I think it's nice to have a garden, at least it doesn't have to be so depressing, and it's also pretty concealed. Just this one."

...

After she decided to confirm the villa vigorously, the next steps were handed over to the studio assistant to communicate, especially in the decoration, Chen Jiaxuan valued it very much, so she decided to hire a professional home decoration company to conduct internal design.

This is the benefit of rich people. If you buy a villa worth more than 10 million yuan without blinking, you can buy it in full without blinking. Although you can't move in immediately, you always feel an inexplicable sense of excitement.

Lin Han has been busy buying a house these two days, and he has not paid attention to the sales of "Inception". As a result, he found out after he was idle. The money he spent will probably be able to make it back soon!

When the pre-sale volume reached 1.18 million copies, the daily physical sales of "Inception" were also particularly excellent, selling 250,000 copies nationwide, and a slight drop to 220,000 copies the next day. It can be said that it is as stable as a rock on the weekly sales list.

Of course, it sold half a month later than the rest, so it failed to win the championship on the monthly sales list, but in just two days, it reached the 19th place on the monthly list with a sales of 1.65 million copies and rushed forward!

The seventh place on the monthly list is Lin Han's previous film "Bouquet for Algernon". In May, it sold 120,000 copies that month and another 10,000 copies this month, so it temporarily ranked fifth in the annual sales list.

The physical version has excellent sales momentum, and the electronic version is also not bad!

Lin Han cannot be called the overlord in physical sales, but he is a real no.1 in the Amazon online bookstore and Douban reading electronic books downloads, because the book payment download lists in these two places are firmly dominated by him.

His complete collection of "Three-Body Problem" has been ranked first since January, bringing down previous books such as "Three-Body Problem 1", "Jurassic Park", "Martian Rescue" and other books!

This year's "Bouquet for Algernon" also performed very well. After dominating the weekly list for four weeks, it was ruthlessly ended by "Inception". This is the disadvantage of the book's time being too close to the point and cannot enjoy more championship treatment.

Whether it is Keigo Higashino's work "The Grocery Store" or Mingyue's popular for a long time, none of them can shake Lin Han's dominant position in e-book paid downloads!

The new king of Zhouban, "Inception", showed his strong sales strength as soon as it was launched, which was 5% higher than the sales performance of the full episode of "Three-Body Problem" during the same period!

Here, he has no opponent, he can only surpass himself. Perhaps this is the loneliness of a master.

However, as the sales unfolded, the Douban score of "Inception" slowly decreased from 9.7 points, which is extremely normal. Even various literary classics cannot be stable at such a high position, so he is mentally prepared.

Even if the rating drops to 9.5, it is enough to crush a lot of books. Although many one-star ratings are deliberately made by others, it threatens other literary classics because of the high rating!

In the past, books were only after purchase before they could be rated. This time, Lin Han’s book was on Weibo.com and could not confirm whether he bought the book. Therefore, there were a lot of people participating in the evaluation, and there were mixed together.

This kind of newcomer emerges and is suppressed by the old man has been staged many times on foreign movie rating websites IDB. The most famous of them is the movie "Batman 2: The Dark Knight" directed by Nolan once rushed to the first place in imdbtop25o in the early stages of its release!

The long-famous classic "The Godfather" was brought down. The battle for the first place was extremely dangerous. Fans of the movies on both sides praised each other and wanted to stop each other from reaching the top.

However, the fisherman gained profits when fighting against the snipe and clam, and the original second-year-old "Shawshank Redemption" became the first for this reason!

The rise of "Inception" has also made Douban's literary talent very popular. They cannot tolerate a literary classic at all. It just so happens that they can evaluate it without buying books, so under the offensive of their friends, their ratings have begun to slowly decline.

Fortunately, there is support from true fans. If I give you a negative review, I will always drag some back. Lin Han has more than ten million fans. As long as a small group of people come to Douban to help him score, they can barely maintain the status quo!

Fortunately, Lin Han's fans are still relatively rational, they just maintain the ratings on their own territory and do not retaliately give a star for other literary classics, otherwise Lin Han would have to take the blame for such a thing.

Who makes fans make mistakes and idols bear the consequences!

This June, not only is the movie market hustle and bustle, but even the book market is full of smoke, competing for publicity, quality, and fame. No matter how you compete, the rest have to kneel down under "Inception".

Compared with the hungry overseas readers, domestic readers are undoubtedly happy.

They can give priority to watching "Bouquets for Algeron", and now they have enjoyed the benefits of "Inception", which makes foreign readers who cannot understand it envious!

Because Inception involves a lot of special vocabulary, the Penguin Publishing Group, headquartered in the UK, is not at ease to leave it to someone else for translation, so I can only entrust Lin Han, the original author to translate it.

Who would have thought that Lin Han, who was originally extremely efficient, would become a three-day fishing and two-day broadcasting network? I am afraid that European and American readers would have to wait for a while if they wanted to see this movie that shocked countless Chinese netizens!

Faced with the all-round siege of readers, Penguin Publishing Group launched Lin Han early as a shield. It’s not that we don’t want to publish it, but because the author Lin Han is too efficient. If you want to urge you, urge him to go!

Fans who are familiar with Lin Han know that he usually uses Weibo, Twitter, Facebook, instagram and other systems automatically synchronize it, so if you want to find Lin Han, you have to come here.

After half a day, these indignant overseas readers formed a fierce group to Lin Han’s Weibo. The rows of English replies blinded domestic netizens!

"Dear Lin, we are eager to see this wonderful movie soon, and hope we can enjoy the same treatment as you readers!"

"I've heard you have serialized on Weibo, why not serialize English on Facebook? This disappointed me so much. I don't know how the translation is going. I hope it's exciting enough."

"P1ea color, p1ea color, p1ea color! I can't sleep all night, when will I see this book?"

"God, if I hadn't heard from my friends on Facebook, I wouldn't have known that there was such a wonderful book. I read so many millions of times in China, which sounds too scary!"

"I have never hoped that Lin Han is our Korean, long live the Republic of Korea!"

"Lin Jun's is very popular in our island country. I hope Lin Jun can write a science fiction related to the island country. Please!"

"I must admit that I am still reading "Bouquets for Algeron", but this does not prevent me from urging updates!"

Under Lin Han’s latest Weibo, there are not only English messages, but also French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, etc., which is like a gathering of languages ​​from all over the world!

People who don’t have some knowledge really dare not read these comments. Even Lin Han himself could barely understand what readers mean through Google Translate.

After thinking about it, he replied to the English version of "Inception" on Facebook, Twitter and Weibo: "It is currently being translated seriously, please wait patiently. But I can reveal it to you, the English name is "in" (foundation)!"

The five thousand words chapter is considered to be a combination of two chapters. Fortunately, the third update of fate has been completed!
Chapter completed!
