Reborn Xiangjiang as a Tycoon

Chapter 788

(Not modified yet)

Time flies, and more than two months pass in the blink of an eye, and it’s summer in July.

As the novel "Wind and Cloud Dominates the World" becomes more and more popular and spreads throughout Hong Kong, Lin Baicheng also follows suit.

Although Lin Baicheng wanted to keep a low profile, due to the media's digging, all his information was made public and he became famous in Hong Kong.

There was no way. Lin Baicheng had contacted almost all newspapers in Xiangjiang, so these newspapers knew his basic information. If they conducted investigations based on this information, they could quickly find out who he was.

Therefore, Lin Baicheng could not keep a low profile even if he wanted to.

During that time, the media and novel fans visited Lin Baicheng and his family at home every day, which affected the family's business.

In the media's hype, Lin Baicheng even became another martial arts master in Hong Kong after Jin Yong. If Lin Baicheng was not a reborn person and had no ambitions, if he were a normal young man, he would definitely be blown up by the media.

At that time, other writers couldn't stand it and criticized Lin Baicheng in the media for being arrogant and short-lived, but Lin Baicheng simply ignored it and allowed the other party to bark.

Because Lin Baicheng didn't respond, there was no quarrel at all, and the media couldn't hype it up. The quarrel lasted for a few days and finally broke up.

After that, the media did not report much about Lin Baicheng. After all, the world does not revolve around one person.

Over the past two months, in addition to his fame, Lin Baicheng has also made huge financial gains.

The first is the most important Star Daily shares. Today, the daily circulation of Star Daily has reached nearly 80,000 copies, second only to the three major newspapers in Hong Kong. It can earn about 200,000 Hong Kong dollars every month from advertising fees alone. In addition,

The money he can earn from publishing newspapers every day means that the value of his 25% stake is at least two to three million Hong Kong dollars.

If the circulation of Star Daily had not been suddenly boosted by novels, the circulation could not be guaranteed to be stable for the time being, and no one could guarantee whether it would be stable in the future, otherwise Lin Baicheng's shares would only be more valuable.

There is also the publishing rights of the novel. The publishing rights in Xiangjiang, Wandao, Southeast Asia and other places were permanently sold by Lin Baicheng to Haohan Publishing Company.

It wasn't that Lin Baicheng had chosen Haohan Publishing Company, but it was because this company offered the highest price, selling the permanent publishing rights for HK$1.5 million. The prices offered by several other publishing companies were not as high as this.

If it is replaced by a royalty authorization, the royalty usually received by the writer is about 10%, and the price of a published novel is about 15 Hong Kong dollars, and the writer can get about 1.5 Hong Kong dollars.

Take the novel "Wind and Cloud Dominates the World" as an example. It has a total of about 2 million words. If one novel is published for every 100,000 words, a total of about 20 books can be published.

In other words, if a person purchases a complete set of published novels, the unit price is HK$15, which is HK$300, and the writer can receive a royalty of HK$30.

Of course, there will definitely not be too many people who will buy a complete set of novels. Some may be a few friends who buy the complete set together, and everyone takes turns reading it, etc.

The transaction price of 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars is actually equivalent to the licensing income of 50,000 people purchasing the complete set of novels, a small number of people. After all, it is not only Hong Kong, but also Southeast Asian countries and Wandao and other places, as well as until the copyright

It has been expired for a long time, and since it is a popular novel, there is no reason why it cannot sell so many copies.

Lin Baicheng wanted a higher price, but all publishing companies said that piracy was rampant now and not many people would buy genuine copies. The highest bidder was Haohan Publishing Company, so Lin Baicheng had no choice but to sell it.
