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

Chapter 130 You must become famous as early as possible!

Sometimes, it might be really hard to hide the look in your eyes when you want to stab someone?

Through Kong Xi's serious questioning gaze, Jiang Hai discovered that she didn't seem to be joking?

"Why do you want to punch me?"

"Did I mess with you?"

Kong Xi's answer was also simple and direct: "If you don't give me the blow, you can ask for the copyright fee yourself."

"Even Tao Yuanming would not bend for a few pieces of silver. Do you think I, Jiang Hai, would bend for such a small sum of money?" Jiang Hai was very determined. He stared at Kong Xi seriously. "Do you think I, Jiang Hai, would bend for such a small sum of money?"

Kong Xi blinked her eyes that were as clear as autumn water:

"Is not it?"

I thought Jiang Hai would fight to the end, but who would have thought that his attitude would suddenly change the next second:

"You're a good judge of people."

Jiang Hai stared at Kong Xi with a happy face:

"As long as the money is right, I can do any pose."

"As long as you can help me collect the money, please don't show me mercy, just come at me hard!"

"My main feature is that I have a thick skin and strong body."

I don’t know why, but looking at Jiang Hai’s happy face, Kong Xi inexplicably felt a little unhappy?

She cried like a tearful person when she was reading Jiang Haishu, but this guy was not depressed at all, but was smiling all day long?

At this moment, countless characters who had been stabbed by Jiang Haidao flashed through Kong Xi's mind -

Le Yao, who is loved but cannot be loved.

There is also the depressed Gu Nan.

When Kong Xi thought of how these characters were tortured to death by Jiang Hai in the book, his anger rose rapidly.

After a long silence, she rubbed her hands together and stared at Jiang Hai with an extremely dangerous look:

"Forgot to tell you."

"My punch will hurt a little bit"

The 5 million yuan in copyright fees for film and television adaptations given to Jiang Hai by Red Star Wu Entertainment Media can be said to have solved Jiang Hai's urgent needs.

When the five million was deposited into the public account, even Yang Shuman was a little surprised:
"Where did you get this money?"

Although I know that the film and television copyright of "Poor Ghost" has been sold, according to the agreement between Xingtian and the film and television company——

As for copyright fees, they are always paid every three months.

No matter how popular a novel is, or how influential it is, this point cannot be changed.

Because that's the rule, in other words, that's the industry practice.

"Where did you get this money? It couldn't be from an illegal source. We can't do anything illegal."

In response to Yang Shuman's kind reminder, Jiang Hai told her everything about the origin of the book:

“I earned this money with my life.”

When I learned that Kong Xi was such a famous person, he was actually familiar with Jiang Hai, and the two seemed to have a good relationship?
This really surprised Yang Shuman:
"I really didn't expect that you even know Kong Xi."

In the city center, inside a cafe.

Yang Shuman was wearing a work uniform that showed a slightly gentle temperament. Looking at Jiang Hai, who was younger than her, she suddenly felt quite surprised.

Jiang Hai is only 19 years old at most, he is not even 20 years old yet.

This is a student who is still in college!
However, it is such a student who has earned millions of dollars by writing books. He has also achieved quite good results in both online and traditional literature, and has also met so many great people through his influence.
Is this really a student?

"Excuse me." Yang Shuman looked at Jiang Hai cautiously, "What does your family do?"

Yang Shuman had no ill intentions, she just wanted to know what kind of family and parents they were like.

How could they educate a child like Jiang Hai?

Jiang Hai's family conditions are not bad, but they are certainly not very good either.

Both of his parents work in the factory. His father is a manager in the production workshop, and his mother is a worker in the workshop.

What kind of support did Jiang Hai’s family provide in his success?
This, really doesn’t exist.

“My parents are ordinary factory workers.”

When Yang Shuman got this answer, she felt incredible. Jiang Hai really perfectly interpreted the wise saying once said by the writer Zhang Ailing:

“It’s better to become famous early.”

Despite his young age, he has achieved remarkable results not only in the field of online literature.

Even in the field of physical book publishing, he is so outstanding?

I still remember when I was eighteen or nineteen years old——

What else is she doing?
She is still reading in the library, gossiping about classmates in the dormitory, and worrying about her further studies and graduation exams.

But looking at Jiang Hai, who is only eighteen or nineteen years old
It actually became famous both at home and abroad?

Even though Jiang Hai was younger than her, Yang Shuman did not look down on him at all. To some extent, she even treated Jiang Hai as a
She admires it very much?

Sometimes, the word "admire" may not be enough to describe it, maybe it is more of respect?
A person who has made his fortune from scratch, relying solely on his own efforts without relying on any external forces.

Isn’t this worthy of admiration?
"I will contact the printing factory later this afternoon." Yang Shuman looked at Jiang Hai solemnly, "The quotation given to us by the printing factory remains unchanged. The cost of printing a book is 18 yuan. Taking into account the expenses of putting it on the shelves of major bookstores and newspapers, as well as publicity and promotion, the total cost of a book is 22 yuan."

"The current price of our book is 32 yuan. If we take more profits into consideration, the sales price of our book can actually be increased appropriately."

According to Yang Shuman's calculations, given the current situation in the book market where the demand for "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" is in short supply, raising the price of a copy of the book from 32 yuan to 38 yuan can achieve the maximum profit.

However, Yang Shuman's proposal was immediately rejected by Jiang Hai:

"Money is not the most important thing. I am not interested in money."

“The reason why I published the book is actually to let more people read it.”

Making money, is that Jiang Hai’s goal?
Yes, but not all.

Compared to making money, Jiang Hai's actual purpose of publishing a book is to allow more readers to read it——

Then stab them hard!

Increasing the unit price of a book will certainly allow you to earn more, but it will inevitably affect the sales volume of the book. The more expensive the book is, the fewer people will buy it. This is easy to understand.

How can you do such a thing for money?

Compared to making money, it is definitely the readers who can make me happier!

"Don't worry too much about making money." Jiang Hai stared at Yang Shuman with a sharp gaze. "Just take care of the printing factory and tell them to print the books as soon as possible."

"Leave the rest to me."

According to the efficiency of the printing factory, the second phase investment of five million yuan can print 28 copies of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" and put them on the market.

For the first issue, 15 copies were printed.

Second issue, 28 copies printed.

Together, these two issues have put a total of 43 copies of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" on the book market.

Although there is no detailed classification of the standards for the title of "Best-selling Author", the industry generally believes that in the current market environment, a book with cumulative sales of around 5 copies in a year can be considered a bestseller, and one with sales of more than 50 copies can be considered a super bestseller.

Please note one premise, this is divided within the time limit of [one year].

If a book sells 50 copies within a year, it can be called a super bestseller.

However, Jiang Hai's "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" did not wait for a year, but only a week.

Two hundred and fifty thousand books have already been sold!

For others, selling 500,000 copies a year is already considered awesome.

Jiang Hai, sold 250,000 copies in just one week?

Isn't this a perfect reserve for a super bestseller?

This is definitely a super hit book!
I dare not even think about it. If Jiang Hai were given one year to make "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", what kind of sales myth would he create?
A young writer publishes his first book and sells over a million copies?
How can those veteran writers who have been famous for a long time but have never published a million-seller book put their faces?

According to the sales data of Xinhua Bookstore South Branch this week,

It's only been this one week.

It's just their one branch.

3 copies of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" have already been sold.

Thirty thousand copies, this may not sound surprising, but you have to know that the last book that sold so well in the South City branch -

That is the "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation" compiled by the Ministry of Education!

The Xinhua Bookstore South City Branch is a medium-sized bookstore with an indoor area of ​​532 square meters. Before this—

There has never been a case like this before, where a personal author publishes a book and sells 30,000 copies in a week.

In one week, 30,000 copies were sold, which means on average every day -

We need to sell about 4300 copies!
You know, before this, the number of people entering the Xinhua Bookstore South City Branch in a day was less than 4300!

"Is this book really so magical?" Store manager Lin Puze looked at the book "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" in his hand and immediately fell into deep thought. "It seems that the buyers all look so miserable, but why do they just want to buy it?"

"The more I buy, the more uncomfortable I feel. The more uncomfortable I feel, the more I buy?"

"Is it possible that all people nowadays have some masochistic traits?"

The store manager Lin Puze clearly remembers that just yesterday, a middle-aged man who looked relatively elegant was sitting by the window in the bookstore, crying silently.

Halfway through reading, he seemed to lose control of his emotions and cried out at the top of his lungs:

"It's so miserable. I don't want to watch it anymore. I really don't want to watch it anymore."

After a while, it was as if he had vented his emotions.

Although he said "I won't read it anymore", his body was still quite honest and picked up the copy of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" that had fallen on the ground:

"Look at it for a little while. I really only look at it for a little while."

Then I sat there from daytime until evening.

This abnormal scene also attracted the attention of the store manager Lin Puze. He clearly remembered -

At the beginning, most of the people who came to the store to buy this book were students.

Soon after, the parents of these students began to come to the store.
After the students' parents came, some elderly men gradually began to stagger towards the store.

And their personal demands, without exception -

They all came to buy the book titled "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood"!
This strange scene immediately attracted the attention of the store manager Lin Puze.

Pick up today's work log.

Store manager Lin Puze slowly wrote down these words in his work log:

“The age of the victims is gradually increasing”
