My rebirth is different.

Chapter 117 Royalty Settlement
It was the end of August, and this morning, Dong Xiaoxue walked into the office with her head held high.

During this period of time, she was really in high spirits.

As an editor, the greatest success is not to discover a good writer or a good book.

And Dong Xiaoxue, this time, has achieved the ultimate in both aspects!

Yu Wenfei, a high school student who is not even a fledgling, just participated in the new concept competition and achieved some results.

Before being tested by the market, Dong Xiaoxue dared to bet heavily on him!

This decision was met with a lot of doubts at the beginning. Dong Xiaoxue did not have a good time at that time and was under a lot of pressure.

But now, with the hot sales of "I Love This World, But I Love You More", all doubts and ridicules have gone with the wind.

What followed was praise and flattery!
The new book was released at the end of May, and now it is exactly one quarter.

It's time to make a summary, because in the past few days, various channel vendors have also paid back one after another.

Similarly, the publishing house has to settle the first royalties for Yu Wenfei.

According to the terms of the contract, each quarter, the two parties conduct a royalty settlement.

Although Dong Xiaoxue doesn't know the exact number yet, she can guess it after a rough estimate. It must be amazing!

In the contract that Yu Wenfei signed at the beginning, only % of the royalties were paid, which was % of the book price.

As for "I love this world, but I love you more", the publishing house has shipped nearly 900 million copies.

The minimum price is 25, followed by 35, priced versions.

Calculated based on the lowest price, based on 80.00% of the dealer's sales, that is 700 million copies. If 25 copies are used, the total amount is 7000 million!

What Yu Wenfei can get is more than 300 million...

A book confers a god, that's about it, Dong Xiaoxue clicked her tongue secretly.

In the years she has been an editor, this is the first time she has seen such a popular book, and it is also the first time she has seen an author earn so much money with her first book!

Waiting for Yu Wenfei to release the second and third books in the future. By then, he will already have a huge fan base. If the quality of the book itself is not a problem, how many copies will it sell? Dong Xiaoxue is a little excited when he thinks about it .

For this book, the publisher held a special meeting.

Among the participants, of course, the editor-in-chief Dong Xiaoxue is indispensable, and the other is the editor-in-chief, people from the distribution department, and people from the finance department.

"As of today, 880 million copies of I Love This World have been shipped. The previous batches of shipments have been sold out in the channels. Excluding the recent shipments and some losses, 700 million copies have already been paid back."

The people in the distribution department reported the data first.

There was applause in the meeting room, and everyone was beaming.

It's so rare. "I Love This World" has only been released for three months, and it has actually sold 700 million copies. It can be seen how popular this book is.

In the history of commercial printing houses, it is also rare.

The next thing is the financial return. The data on their side is a bit complicated, because the purchase discounts of various channels are different, but the profit brought by this book to the publishing house is also very amazing.

Under normal circumstances, for a book, the publishing house can get a gross profit of about 30.00% after excluding the cost of printing and publicity.

After subtracting the author's royalties and the editor's commission, it is the net profit of the publishing house.

If we look at this momentum, by the end of this year, "I Love This World" will easily break through the tens of millions mark!

The profits that will be brought to the publishing house will be in the hundreds of millions!
The editor-in-chief said with a smile on his face: "Very good! This time, Xiaoxue has a good eye, and she has found another general for our publishing house! By the way, you should keep in touch with Yu Wenfei. Didn't he say that he would like to publish this youth series?" Are you writing a trilogy, have you started writing the second book?"

When they first signed the contract, Dong Xiaoxue and Yu Wenfei did not sign a contract for one book, but a whole series of three books!
However, the contract was not written down, but under the same conditions, the commercial printing house had the priority to sign the next two books of Yu Wenfei.

Of course, the publishing house also has its own selfishness. It has poured so much resources into it, and promoted Yu Wenfei. If he turned around and signed the second book to another publishing house, wouldn't it be a big loss for his own side? up.

In addition, if Yu Wenfei's first book becomes popular, it will be easy to say later that his own publishing house has the priority, and he can just renew the contract directly.

If Yu Wenfei's book doesn't become popular, then he can lower the price on his own side, or even stop signing the contract, giving up the priority signing right.

"I just spoke with him on the phone two days ago. Yu Wenfei has already started writing, but he doesn't plan to publish it too soon. It is expected to be released in May next year. The first book will take a while to squeeze out the potential. .” Dong Xiaoxue laughed.

The editor-in-chief nodded in satisfaction, one book a year, this rhythm is very good.

Basically, the best sales period for a book is the first half a year or even the first few months, and the subsequent sales will become less and less.

Wait a year before releasing the second book. At that time, the sales potential of the old book is almost the same, and the new book may be able to drive the sales of the old book.

At the same time, the popularity of old books has not completely subsided, which can be regarded as laying a good foundation for the launch of new books.

"The finance side should calculate Yu Wenfei's royalties, and it should be settled for our great writers. Don't let them pick on us, haha." The editor-in-chief instructed.

Royalties are easy to calculate, 700 million copies, different batches and different prices are calculated separately.

In the end, the Ministry of Finance gave an accurate figure.

One thousand seven hundred and twenty eighty thousand!
This is the pre-tax figure, but even after deducting the personal income tax, Yu Wenfei still became a multi-millionaire with just one book!
There is a golden house in the book, the ancients will not deceive me......
