Before coming, Ji Kong actually had some understanding of the income of light novel authors.

As far as he knows, the commission for each novel by ordinary light novel authors is about 50 yen, which is actually quite a lot.

Even if a light novel author writes very slowly, he only publishes one volume every six months, and his grades are not good, and only prints 30,000 volumes per volume.

In total, there are 250,000 yen per month, which is about 16,000 RMB in income.

And the more famous light novel writers have a commission of about 100 yen for each book!

Generally speaking, authors who achieve this commission will have one or two best-selling novels that have been published and animated before this.

As for newcomers, you basically don’t even think about it. Even popular writers who have won the Newcomers Award will find it difficult to reach this level.

After all, being able to get such a generous commission is not only a significant increase in income, but also a symbol of becoming a master in the light novel industry!

Therefore, when Suzuki Ichichi gave a commission of 100 yen per book, even with Ji Kong's usual calm mind, he couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice: "One hundred yen?!"

Ji Kong's reaction was certainly very surprised, but Suzuki Kazuto didn't know Ji Kong's current life situation, and he wouldn't think that the commission of 100 yen per book would be much for Ji Kong.

As an upper class figure, Suzuki Ichito has a very sharp vision. A few days ago, he accompanied his son to visit the Jenya men's clothing store. The expensive clothing emptied his wallet and also made him feel a lot.

At least he could recognize that the shirt that Ji Kong was wearing was UpperCasual, a sub-brand that specialized in the ultimate luxury and casual elegance series under the Jenya men's clothing. The price was about 2 million yen.

It is possible that you meet a robber who is identifiable while walking on the road, and you are knocked out and stripped naked!

Before, Suzuki Ichichi may have doubted Ji Kong's identity, but now he has no doubts at all. After all, without a certain identity and background, he can't afford to wear such clothes.

And those who can afford such expensive clothes care about the "small money" of 100 yen per book?

Living in the bustling city of Tokyo, Ichichi Suzuki knows how many wealthy and powerful people are hidden in this city famous for its high consumption and prosperity.

The commission of 100 yen per novel may be a huge sum of money for ordinary light novel authors, but for those rich second generations, that is also called money?!

Look at what Mr. Kong looks like now. Although he only said one sentence, his dissatisfaction was already beyond words, as if he was saying... a commission of 100 yen per book? This is also considered money? You have the nerve to say it!

Although the commission of 100 yen per novel is an extraordinary increase, if the other party is unhappy, it means that he has not done a good job. If someone blames him, he has no choice!

Suzuki Ichichi became more and more aware that people don’t care much about money, but if you give less, you look down on others.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "Each book is 150 yen, Mr. Hun, this is the limit price. It really can't be more. Don't look at each light novel priced at nearly 600 yen, but in addition to printing fees, publicity fees, employee salaries, and other bookstore share, our company can't make much money at all..."

Suzuki Ichito couldn't help but be careful. After all, Harada's previous lessons were there, so he didn't want to be invited by the National Security Bureau for tea.

After all, he is just working for others, and there is no need to put his own wealth and life into it for others.

However, what he didn't know was that Ji Kong was overjoyed when he heard the price. He agreed without hesitation, "The share of 150 yen per book is decided! By the way, in terms of publicity and promotion..."

"Please rest assured that Teacher Kong is here. We will definitely mobilize all channels and do our best to promote "Sword Art Online".

Suzuki Ichito agreed without hesitation.

With a share of 150 yen per book, "Sword Art Online" has now not made much money for their company in terms of physical books sales, and it can even be said that it would be good if it doesn't lose money.

Now he can only set his mind around, animation and games.

If you want to adapt animations and games, vigorous publicity is essential!

But he had just had his thoughts risen, Ji Kong said, "If "Sword Art Online" wants to adapt a game or an animation, I hope you can discuss it with me in advance. In addition, I also have certain cooperation with the game "Legendary Times."

The reason for this condition is that in Ji Kong's impression, many large IPs have been changed beyond recognition.

In order to make money as soon as possible, the company made everything that is shoddy and is simply overdrawing the potential vitality of a work!

And in the face of Ji Kong's request, what else could Suzuki Ichichi say?

Anyway, just be happy!

However, after a little thought, he still said with a serious look on his face: "I can agree to Teacher Kong's request, but I also have a reluctant request here."

Ji Kong nodded, "Mr. Suzuki, you said."

"Teacher Kong, we don't object to the update of the WEB version on the Tieba, but can you please slow down the update speed of "Sword Art Online"?"

Faced with Suzuki Ichichi's request, Ji Kong could be said to have unexpectedly thought. After all, when he read online novels in his previous life, he always asked for the faster update, the better. How could he ask for the slower update?

Suzuki Ichichi obviously saw Ji Kong's doubts and explained: "At your current update speed, even if the novel "Sword Art Online" has more than a dozen volumes, it will be updated in less than half a year. But at that time, it is estimated that the first episode of the animation was still under planning, let alone the surrounding areas."

"In this way, it will probably be several years later when the last episode of "Sword Art Online" was released. At that time, fans' interest in "Sword Art Online" was also lost a lot, which can be said to be very unfavorable to animation and peripheral sales."

After listening to Suzuki Ichichi's explanation, Ji Kong nodded with a sudden realization.

After all, there are many differences between Japanese light novels and Chinese online novels. The bigger one is that the chance of animation of light novels is much higher!

The sales volume and animation of light novels support each other:

The sales of light novels are good, which will naturally lead more people to buy animation BDs. If the popularity of animations is, it can bring more popularity to light novels ("RE0" is the best example. Originally, the sales of "RE0" novels were very poor, but after the animation is made, I won't talk about the popularity...)

"So Mr. Suzuki thinks, how often will I update the volume?" Ji Kong asked.

"One month!"

Suzuki Ichibi gave a finger and said, "This is already the limit of the limit. If Mr. Sora's manuscript has a volume of weight, then we will start to animation immediately from the moment we sign the contract!"

"No problem. In three days, I will send you the contents of the first volume!"

Ji Kong nodded and agreed, then stood up, and stretched out his hand and said, "Then editor Suzuki, I wish us a happy future cooperation."

Suzuki Ichichi's face was smiling, but he was crying in his heart: "Happy cooperation!"

——————————

PS. There should be another update later, which is to make up for the reward of the former Oliviera. After saying that it has been delayed for so long, the cabbage has no moral integrity...

Let me also talk about it. Any reward of one helm with one update will be added if there is a reward of one hundred R!

Permanently effective!
Chapter completed!
