Rebirth of the tea art man

As soon as he returned to Beiyang County, Lin Cheng immediately went to take the exam for subject one.

100 multiple-choice questions, 90 minutes of exam time, passed without any accident.

From tomorrow, he can start subject two.

Subject two plus subject three, you can finish the test in a week at most, and then you can wait for the book to get your driver's license.

"How much is the average order, has it exceeded 5?"

As soon as Lin Cheng got home and turned on his computer, he saw Lao Chen's news on QQ.

"Let me see!"

Log in to the writer's background, click on the subscription data.

"Longevity": New subscriptions yesterday: 288329, average chapter subscriptions: 51179, highest chapter subscriptions: 223155.

Lin Cheng: "The average order is 5, the high order is 1, and there were 22 new additions yesterday."

"Brilliant!"

Lao Chen sent an emoticon package, which was capitalized awesome.

When "Longevity" was finished, it had just passed 4 subscriptions.It has been exactly one month since the book was finished, and the average subscription has actually increased by 1, reaching a record-breaking 5 average subscription.

Of course, it was mainly Lin Cheng's chapter "Conclusions at the End of the Book", which drew many dark pirate readers into the bright world of the original.

These days, the number of pirated readers is ten times, or even tens or hundreds of times, that of the genuine ones.

As long as 10% or even 1% of pirated readers can be converted, the genuine subscription can be greatly increased.

"By the way, your "Longevity" has been requested by the publishing house."

"The simplified version is divided into 20 volumes, each volume has 25 characters, and the first printing is 1 sets, which means 20 volumes."

"A book is priced at 25 yuan, and you can probably get about 5 yuan, which is a total of 100 million royalties."

"This is a specific contract, take a look and sign it if there is no problem!"

Lao Chen sent me a simplified publishing contract.

The sales list of Qixing Chinese website has always been the favorite of major publishing houses, and people come here to look for books from time to time.

As long as there are more than 3000 orders, there is hope for publication.

If you have ordered more than [-], publishing is a [-]% thing.

As for Lin Cheng's "Longevity", since its release, it has been dominating Qixing's sales list. It didn't fall from the top until nearly a month after the book was finished, but it still remained in the top five.

It is impossible not to publish such a super bestseller.

However, when the physical books of online novels are published, the sales volume is just like that. For fun and to make a little money, the main thing is the sense of accomplishment of printing them into physical books.

"It's signed!"

"I'll print it later, and I should have time to send it out today."

Lin Cheng glanced at the contract, it was very standard, nothing special.

That is to say, there are more additional terms. If the sales volume is good, there will be a second or third follow-up.

As for the 100 million first brush royalties, in the second month after the contract is signed, it will be incorporated into the previous month's manuscript fee and distributed together.

Qixing Chinese Network's physical book revenue share is 91K.

The author gets 9% and the website gets 1%, which is the highest percentage.

The main reason is to encourage publication. The publication of every online novel is an honor for the website. The website will display the full set of physical books on the bookshelf of the editorial department for people to visit.

"There's another one published in traditional Chinese, let's sign it too!"

Before Lin Cheng could rest for a while, Lao Chen sent another contract, which was the traditional publishing contract of "Longevity".

Generally speaking, online novels are published mainly in traditional and simplified characters.

Publishing in simplified Chinese corresponds to the mainland market and is relatively strictly reviewed.

Publishing in traditional Chinese is aimed at the markets in the three places and the overseas Chinese market, and the review is relatively loose.

In the early years, some Internet authors mainly wrote books for the traditional Chinese market. They could write more pornographic and violent books, and at the same time, their income was quite good.

It's just that in recent years, the entire physical publishing industry has gradually shrunk, and even the traditional Chinese publishing market is not as good as before.

"400 thousand words?"

"It's so high!"

Lin Cheng glanced at the contract, and the price of "400 for a thousand characters" was particularly eye-catching.

Unlike the simplified Chinese market, where the money is calculated according to the printing volume, the traditional Chinese market is calculated according to the price of [-] characters, and each volume is printed.

If the sales volume is good, then continue to print.

If the sales volume is not good, it will be cut off in time, and there will be nothing below.

This model is actually a bit similar to the buyout model of online novels.

No matter how much your book sells or how much you earn, your manuscript fee will be calculated according to the thousand-word price in the contract. When the website feels that it is losing money and is no longer making money, it will be cut off for you, and there is no need to write later.

"Hmph, this is what I fought for especially for you!"

"The lowest price for traditional Chinese is 20 thousand characters, and the highest price for traditional Chinese is only two or three hundred thousand characters."

"However, your book's grades are so good, I highly recommend it, and I'll ask you for a price of 400 for a thousand words."

"And buy out the whole book!"

Lao Chen said proudly.

The achievements of "Longevity" on Qixing Chinese website are obvious to all.

The results in the mobile reading base are also in the top three levels, on the same level as "Fights Break the Universe" and "Class Flower's Master at the same Table".

In the traditional Chinese market, it is natural to see this sweet pastry, and several publishing houses are vying for the traditional Chinese copyright of "Longevity".

The price of 400 words per thousand is close to the ceiling of traditional Chinese publishing.

However, for those publishing houses, 400 for a thousand words, a total of 500 million words, and a total price of 200 million.

It is not expensive to spend 200 million to buy out the entire traditional Chinese publishing rights of a super hot book.

"The boss is mighty!"

"Taking 300 million for nothing, we are one step closer to our goal of buying Qixing."

Looking at the two publishing contracts, Lin Cheng felt a little excited.

For Xingcheng Media, the production and distribution of these six songs, "Displaced Time and Space", "Chasing Dreams", "A Diao", "My Dearest", "Big Fish", and "Because of Love", took a lot of effort. It cost him a lot of money.

However, the sales of the singles were mediocre. Among the six songs, only "Displaced Time and Space" and "Because of Love" surpassed [-].

The total income from the six single albums was only 6 to [-] yuan. After deducting the commission for Chen Shiying, he only earned about [-] yuan.

The physical record market is too traditional, and all major sales channels are dominated by those record giants.

People don't give you a good position, but put you in a corner, even the best songs are hard to sell.

However, Lin Cheng continued to spend money to help himself and Chen Shiying release an album each, and in a few days, taking advantage of the heat of the draft, they will make another wave.

The sales volume this time should be much stronger than before.

Now Lin Cheng's main income is from the novel "Longevity". Last month, that is, the manuscript fee in May was as high as 5 million, of which 240 million came from Qixing Chinese website, and 160 came from mobile reading.

In addition, on Xingcheng Media's side, the three major operators' CRBT revenue is also 60 million a month. This month, driven by the live broadcast of the finals of the sound of sounds of nature, there should be more.

It's a pity that the physical record is too weak.

The mainland's physical record market started too late, and piracy is rampant.Coupled with the fact that Lin Cheng is a small company with a small singer, both the sales channel and the singer's popularity are far behind, which is indeed a lot of difficulties.

"Fuck, you still remember this!"

"Big star, are you really going to buy Qixing?"

Lao Chen was quite surprised.

It was just a joke at the beginning, but Lin Cheng really remembered it.

"That is!"

"We are honest people, we never tell lies!"

Lin Cheng replied.

He really wanted to buy Qixing Chinese.com, but the funds on hand were too far behind.

The Qixing Chinese website in the previous life was packaged and sold to Tenda Group by Brother Qiao after several failed listings, and the selling price at that time was - 50 billion!

A full 50 million!

And Lin Cheng's current total funds are only a mere 1200 million.

Even if you go to the casino and win all the stud, it won't be doubled.

Casino Stud?

Suddenly, Lin Cheng's mind flashed, and he thought of a shortcut to getting rich.

Don't forget, now is the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and every World Cup is a carnival for gamblers all over the world.

"Hey hey, I'm sorry!"

Lin Cheng looked at Cary's 1200 million, ready to be a gambler.
