Huang Xiaowan asked curiously, "What book is so interesting."

Li Wenhua said, "The things in the Ming Dynasty have humorous and interesting writing tricks about some of the things in the Ming Dynasty."

After saying that, he showed the cover of the novel to Huang Xiaowan.

When Huang Xiaowan saw the name of the cover of the novel, she lost interest and said to Li Wenhua, "I'm leaving, I'm going to have a meal, and I'm almost hungry."

Li Wenhua looked up at the sky, and before he knew it, he had already darkened. He folded a corner on the page of the novel, and then said to Huang Xiaowan, "You go to the door to wait for me first, I'll buy the book."

Huang Xiaowan said to Li Wenhua, "You really want to buy it. It costs more than 30 yuan, but it's not cheap."

Li Wenhua nodded and said, "I can't wait to see my partner half, I'm so amazed. I really admire this author. It's such a talent to write a boring history book so funny and humorous."

Seeing that her boyfriend insisted on buying, Huang Xiaowan stopped talking about anything, and turned around and walked out of the bookstore.

Li Wenhua took "Things in the Ming Dynasty" and walked to the cashier to check out.

"Hey, you want to buy this book too." A young man next to him with a flat head and a plaid shirt also walked to the cashier to check out the bill. Suddenly, he saw Li Wenhua holding a book in his hand, stopped and said to Li Wenhua with a smile.

Li Wenhua also smiled and replied, "Yes, this book is so interesting, you want to buy it too."

The young man in flat head said, "Just because the author can write a boring historical book so interesting and exciting, I also want to support the author."

Li Wenhua smiled and stopped talking.

After paying the bill, I walked out of the Bowen Bookstore. My girlfriend was already waiting by the side of the road and ran forward quickly.

Changjiang Publishing House, Dinghai Branch, Editor-in-Chief Office.

The assistant Xiaoma hurried to Du Wenhai's office with a sales statistics report "Things in the Ming Dynasty" in his hand and said to Du Wenhai urgently, "Editor-in-Chief Du, "Things in the Ming Dynasty" are popular, major bookstores are out of stock, and our three reception phones are almost blown up, and they are all urging to ask for books."

Upon hearing this, Du Wenhai stood up excitedly, took the sales statistics report of "Things in the Ming Dynasty" from Xiaoma, scanned it roughly with his eyes, and then ordered his assistant Xiaoma, "Hurry notify the printing factory to add printing."

Xiaoma asked Du Wenhai, "Editor Du, you need to notify them of how many copies to print."

Du thought for a while and said, "Just 100,000 copies."

"Okay, I'll go to notify the printing factory to add printing." Xiaoma responded, turned around and quickly left the editor-in-chief's office.

"Okay, it's successful." After Xiaoma left, Du Wenhai laughed loudly.

The first batch of 10,000 copies printed in just 3 days were sold out, which shows that this book has the potential to become a super bestseller of the year. I believe that as time goes by, readers who have bought the book will be passed down by word of mouth, thus attracting more people to flock to the bookstore to buy this book.

He made a secret decision in his heart, and this year he will use this book as a key publicity and cooperate with the distribution to major bookstores across the country.

With the company's focus on publicity, nationwide distribution, and word-of-mouth publicity, if it sells well, it is possible that "Things of the Ming Dynasty" will sell more than one million copies in the second half of this year.

The key now is to first obtain the copyright of the other six novels "Things in the Ming Dynasty". If they are snatched by other publishers, everything will be useless.

When I first talked, I was really a mistake. No one expected that a history book that changed to a humorous and witty writing style would be so popular. If I could divide the manuscript fee into 8/100, 9/100, maybe I won it together with the next six works. Now I am very passive and the initiative is in the hands of the other party. If the other party increases the manuscript fee to 11/100, I can only grit my teeth and agree. Who said "Things in the Ming Dynasty" is so popular?

Thinking of this, Du Wenhai picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, is it Chen Dong? I want to invite you to have dinner and celebrate the big sale of "Things in the Ming Dynasty". Do you have time?"

"Okay, Daxiangnan Hotel, see you at 4 o'clock."

I made an appointment to have dinner at the Daxiangnan Hotel at the gate of Dinghai University at 4 pm.

He made a secret decision in his mind that no matter what the cost, he had to take down the last six works of "Things in the Ming Dynasty" and get the copyright of the publication of this book. He didn't have to do anything else this year, just do the publicity around this book, and then promote it vigorously, which would make his publishing branch make a fortune.

Daxiangnan Hotel, Plum Blossom Hall.

There were only two people, Chen Dong and Du Wenhai, the dishes were very rich, including chopped pepper fish head, West Lake vinegar fish, braised lion head, and seaweed egg soup.

Du Wenhai picked up the wine glass and had a drink with Chen Dong, saying, "The novel sells very well. It sold 10,000 copies in three days. I want to discuss the copyright of the other six novels."

Chen Dong nodded and said, "Yes."

Du Wenhai pondered for a while and said, "How about adding 3 percentage points to the first part."

Adding another 3 percentage points is the share of the royalty fee of 10/100. Generally, the share of the royalty fee received by the best-selling author. As a newcomer without any fame, he can get the same share of the royalty fee as the best-selling author. It is very good.

However, Chen Dong knew that "Things in the Ming Dynasty" sold more than 10 million copies in five years, with an average of more than 2 million copies a year.

Chen Dong shook his head and said, "Editor Du, I will not agree to the share of the royalty. I calculated it. I sold 10,000 copies in three days. This is still the number of copies sold without publicity. One month is 100,000 copies, and more than one million copies can be sold a year. According to the sales statistics report of domestic novels, the accumulated distribution of about 50,000 copies in a year is considered a general best-seller. More than 20,000 copies are relatively best-sellers, and more than 50,000 copies are super best-sellers. According to the sales of "Things in the Ming Dynasty", it is considered a super best-seller. I have to get 15/100 for the royalty."

In the original time and space, the authors of Han Han and the authors of Yi Zhongtian were divided into 15/100. Yi Zhongtian’s most famous novel Yi Zhongtian has not sold as many volumes as "Things of the Ming Dynasty", so it is not much to get the 15/100 manuscript. You should know that the one who takes the big head is always the publisher.

Upon hearing this, Du Wenhai smiled bitterly, but he could not refuse this share. "Things in the Ming Dynasty" sold 10,000 copies in three days without publicity. If the company's vigorous publicity and readers' word-of-mouth publicity, it would easily sell more than one million copies in a year. Although the author would have to share the share of 15/00, the publisher earned more.
