A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 118: Use the coldest expression to write the cruelest knife!

It must be said that Yang Shuman is very efficient.

Jiang Hai handed her the first draft of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", and within less than a month, she had already completed a series of tedious and trivial preparation processes required for publishing a book, including reviewing, proofreading, typesetting, and finalizing?

As a top student graduating from the Chinese Department of Peking University, Yang Shuman is almost impeccable in terms of execution.

In order to complete the task assigned by Jiang Hai to "publish as soon as possible", Yang Shuman worked frantically under an extremely high intensity for the past month.

Especially after a night of being hungover.

Jiang Hai woke up at 6:30 in the morning and immediately received a series of text messages from Yang Shuman:
[I personally like the book cover, layout, and pictures inserted in the book. Please take a look and see if they are suitable.]

[Oh, by the way, the printing factory left me a quotation, which is the cost of printing a book. I have put the detailed quotation in your mailbox.]

[Uh, there are still some specific details that need to be discussed in person. I will call you later to connect with you. I know you are not awake yet, so you should take a rest first. When you wake up and see the message, just reply to me. I am a bit pressed for time now due to the morning rush hour. I will go to work first. We will contact each other later.]

I don't know why, but after seeing Yang Shuman's diligent and conscientious work attitude, Jiang Hai suddenly felt...

Did Taozi feel like she had punched me lightly yesterday?
Others are there working hard for themselves and working overtime.

On the other hand, do you drink heavily, eat lavishly, and spend your time like a spoiled brat with others outside of school?
Objectively speaking, the relationship between Yang Shuman and myself is that of an editor and an author.
Maybe we can be considered friends who have not known each other for very long?

My friend, you have done me such a big favor voluntarily, including editing the manuscript and typesetting, and using your connections to find a printing factory for me. You have been busy for such a long time.
Even if others don't say anything, shouldn't you at least give some thought to it?
Jiang Hai decisively transferred 20,000 yuan to Yang Shuman:
"Sister Shuman, I'm sorry to bother you during this period. Thank you for your hard work."

But who would have thought that the transfer was immediately returned by Yang Shuman as soon as it was sent:
"If you do this again, I will be really angry."

Frankly speaking, Jiang Hai is indeed short of money now, but when he needs money, he will definitely not be vague.

Yang Shuman helped him so much, he will remember this favor.

Since the other party doesn't want money, you can only wait and see if there will be an opportunity in the future to repay them in other ways.

While Jiang Hai was thinking about how to repay Yang Shuman's favor, he slowly opened his email.

It would be fine if I didn't click it, but once I did, I was shocked:

"No, the cost of printing this book is so expensive?"

To be honest, Jiang Hai thought that printing books would be expensive, but he never expected
Is it really so expensive to print a finished book?

The cost of printing books is closely related to factors such as the number of pages, printing color, binding, paper, and print quantity.

Needless to say, the more pages you have, the higher the typesetting and printing costs. Binding mainly includes saddle stitching, thread binding, and perfect binding. Different binding schemes are used according to different page numbers. This is actually a relatively large expense. In addition,

Generally speaking, the paper needed for printing books is offset paper. The thickness of offset paper is different, and the price will naturally be different.

In addition to these necessary expenses, if you want to print a book and publish it to the public, there are also various taxes and fees involved, such as book number management fees, review fees, proofreading fees, typesetting fees, design fees, printing fees, etc.
Regardless of other things, just the book number management fee that needs to be handed over to the tax department, just for this item alone, a deposit ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 yuan will be required. This is still an ideal situation where the review is passed in one go. The reality will only be more expensive than this.

Looking at the dazzling series of printing quotations submitted by Yang Shuman, Jiang Hai immediately understood -

No wonder so many publishing houses in the publishing industry have gone bankrupt?

The cost of printing a book is really too expensive!

If it is individual printing, and the printing quantity is around 5000 copies, then the overall cost of printing a book is around 25 yuan.

Adhering to the profit model of small profits but quick turnover, the more printing quantity, the lower the unit price. However, even if your unit price and quantity are low——

It will definitely not be lower than 20 yuan per copy!
Yang Shuman used her connections to reduce the cost of Jianghai Printing's printing of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" to 18 yuan per copy, while ensuring the printing quality of the book!
The initial investment is 3 million. After deducting the taxes that must be paid to the tax department, the total amount that can actually be invested in the production of books is -

It’s only 2.85 million!
The printing cost of a book is 18 yuan per copy. With an investment of million yuan, the total number of copies that can be printed is -

Only 150,000 or 160,000 copies?
Although selling 150,000 to 160,000 books can be considered a moderately popular best-selling author,
This is obviously still quite a distance away from Jianghai’s expected goals?

"If you want to print more, you have to make money. If you want to make money, you have to write more!"

Having made up his mind, Jiang Hai no longer hesitated and endured the discomfort in his body after being drunk.

He decisively turned over and got out of bed, shaking Yang Wei, who was still sleeping soundly, frantically:
"Can you still sleep?"

"Can you still sleep at your age?"

"You are sleeping like a dead pig, but you are still sleeping. Wake up, wake up quickly."

To be honest, Jiang Hai was so drunk last night because of this Fatty. Sooner or later, this guy will die on a woman.

It seemed as if he had never experienced such an extravagant dinner before. When he saw the president of the Normal University Student Union Chu Xinyan and the president of the Chinese Department Taozi, unexpectedly appearing together for the first time and sitting next to him at the same time, it seemed as if he could not restrain his wild strength at all. Or perhaps he wanted to show his masculinity?

The fat man drank this wine cup after cup.

"You can do whatever you want, I'll do it!"

"How can a man say no? Come on!"

"How can I raise fish? I, Yang Wei, don't have the habit of raising fish. Just give it to me to drink."

The most important thing is that this guy not only drinks alone, but he also wants to drag Jiang Hai to join him?
Jiang Hai was fine at first, but when he was drinking with Fatty, he suddenly felt dizzy and blacked out.
You made me so tired last night, and you still want to have a good sleep today?
No matter whether he feels uncomfortable or not.

I saw Jiang Hai swaying the fat man's bed crazily:
"Wake up, wake up quickly."

Even though they drank until 428 or o'clock last night, today Jiang Hai, Yang Wei, Chu Tianjiao and others from Dormitory ——

Still got up early!
As soon as he was shaken awake, the fat man felt the discomfort of a hangover coming back all of a sudden. He turned over and ran into the toilet:

"vomit"

When it comes to drinking, you should do it within your means.

Can't you just be unable to walk when you see a woman?

In fact, sometimes, the more you are eager to show yourself, the more eager you are to show your masculinity, the more likely the woman sitting opposite you will not think you are handsome.
Maybe she will just think you are an idiot?
He didn't care at all how uncomfortable the fat man was feeling at the moment.

Just washed up briefly.

Jiang Hai didn't even look at him. He just put on his backpack, picked up his notebook and started rushing to the library.

Since you have decided to write more to make money, then naturally, you should cherish every second of this hard-earned money.

Jiang Hai bought two packets of yogurt in the cafeteria to help him sober up, and then bought two large meat-filled buns for breakfast, and ate them while walking towards the library.

Just as he took out his cell phone and browsed the messages he hadn't had time to reply to yesterday because he was too drunk.

I found a WeChat message from Chu Xinyan, the president of the Student Union of the Normal University next door, who I drank with him yesterday:
"Jiang Hai, you sang "Miss Dong" yesterday, it was very nice~"

As if he had lost all memory, he just felt a slight headache.

This person's WeChat.
When did I add it?

Suddenly, he vaguely remembered that it seemed that they added each other on WeChat when Chu Xinyan supported him back to the dormitory last night after they drank too much?

Not wanting to bother with all this, Jiang Hai put away his phone and quickly headed towards the library.

He couldn't wait to make his dear readers on the Internet——

Feel the pain he went through last night after getting drunk!
Little did people know that it was at this moment that Jiang Hai recorded a live video of him singing "Miss Dong" with deep emotion at a barbecue restaurant last night.

It is spreading like wildfire on the confession wall of the Normal University campus.
The environment of Chengxi Library is actually quite good.

The library stands in the center of an artificial lake, surrounded by mountains and has beautiful scenery.

Jiang Hai actually has certain requirements for his creative environment. For example, in the cramped and depressing environment of the dormitory, Jiang Hai always feels that there is something wrong with the things he coded, and he always feels like something is missing?
It is precisely based on this.

Jiang Hai usually types in the library.

In a well-lit, clean and tidy environment, your mood will gradually improve.

Once your mood improves, you can then devote more attention to——

Come and kill you!

Jiang Hai was sitting near the window in the library, his hands constantly jumping on the keyboard, typing line after line of stabbing words on the screen with an expressionless face:

[Just when I was knocked to the ground by the gangster, Jian Wei did something that I will never forget for the rest of my life. She picked up the barrel full of gasoline and poured it from her head to her feet. Then she picked up the lighter and stood in front of me resolutely. She looked at the gangster who knocked me to the ground with a stubborn face and said, "If you have the guts, burn us all to death! Zhaoyang, I will die with you."]
