Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 335

When Zhang Zhong arrived at the hotel, before Xu Yuhan and the others got home, he took a book and read it on the sofa.

The book he is holding in his hand is "Thinking Fields", author Xu Wenxuan.

It was not easy to find this book. Zhang Zhong searched for a long time in the bookstore in front of Jinling University before finally finding it in the corner.

It seems that the sales volume is really not good, Zhang Zhong looked at the back of the book, there is the distribution data on it.

Both edition and printing are once, and the number of printings is 9901-10900.

This shows that the first printing run of the book at that time was [-] copies.

There should be no other prints, otherwise it would not be so difficult to find such a copy.

In general, it is difficult to find a book in a bookstore, not to say that the book is sold out.On the contrary, under normal circumstances, the better the sales volume, the more inventory there is in the bookstore, and the more obvious the position is.

If you want to know whether a book is selling well or not, you only need to look at the edition and printing number and printing number.

In China, the copyright law stipulates that not only the number of prints and editions of books must be publicized, but also the number of prints.

This is a rigid rule, which means that if you see a book in a bookstore that does not disclose these data, you can sue the bookstore and the publishing house.

There is not only this provision in the copyright law, but it is also strictly enforced. People often conduct random checks. If there is a discrepancy between the real print number and the publicized print number, they will also be punished, and the punishment is very severe.

The purpose of this provision is to protect the rights of authors.

The author's income is entirely determined by the number of prints.

Regardless of how many copies are finally sold and how many copies are approved by the publishing house, the author needs to pay the author for the number of copies.Therefore, when many authors sign copyright contracts, they will require the first print run, which determines the minimum standard of their income.

Before this rule came out, the number of prints would be written in the contract or there would be a notice of additional printing, which would tell the author the number of prints.

However, many publishing houses are not disciplined, and there is often a gap between the actual print run and the print run they told the author.

Maybe they printed [-] copies, but told the author that they only printed [-] copies, so that they can save [-] copies of the manuscript fee to the author.

Many authors have seen their sales increase since this rule was introduced.

Of course, even in the past, this kind of thing happened to young authors.

Opening this "Thinking Fields", Zhang Zhong didn't quite understand the previous articles, and the academic nature was a bit too strong.

However, it is much better to see the back. Xu Wenxuan's essays and diaries seem to be more colloquial and easier to accept, especially a few diaries. interesting stuff.

Perhaps, if the essays and diaries at the back are placed at the front of the book, the sales volume of this book may be higher.

Zhang Zhong was a little bit emotional. The person who helped Xu Wenxuan publish the book probably didn't put much thought into it. Otherwise, for the sake of sales, they would not put academic articles first.

The price tag is going up, but the sales volume is impossible to go up.

Zhang Chong was turning the pages of the book when he heard Hu Huifang and the others talking at the door.

"The little gown just now is very suitable for Peng Peng, but it's too hot to wear it today. I've memorized the brand. Let's buy it later when we go back to Jiangyang... Hey, son, you're back." After opening the door, Hu Huifang and the others saw Zhang Zhong on the sofa.

"Well, I ate earlier, did you go to the mall just now?" Zhang Zhong put the book aside and asked.

Xu Yuhan saw the book at a glance, and then pouted.

"Yeah, I went shopping and saw a pretty little blue gown. I wanted to buy it for Pengpeng, but it's too thick and it's a bit hot to wear now." Hu Huifang said.

"Grandma, I want to wear a skirt." Peng Peng seemed to have a different opinion, and said while tugging on her grandma's arm.

Hu Huifang touched her granddaughter's head, "It's going to be cold soon, what skirt to wear."

"But I like skirts. I can wear socks when it's cold." Peng Peng frowned.

Zhang Zhong laughed, "It's up to her what she wants to wear."

"Listen to her, it's over." Hu Huifang rolled her eyes, then pointed to the bags in Xu Yuhan's hand and said, "Yuhan also bought several sets of clothes and toys for Pengpeng, and spent a lot of money on them." Money. I said that it is not easy for her to open a studio by herself, and children don’t need to wear such good clothes.”

Xu Yuhan said with a smile, "It's okay, auntie, I never gave Pengpeng anything."

"You teach her to paint every day, that is the greatest gift, don't you just say, you are a teacher for one day and a father for life, you have been teaching her to paint, she can't take you as a mother, it is her who wants to give things Send it to you." Hu Huifang said, and then looked at her granddaughter, "Pengpeng, tell me, do you want to give Teacher Xu a gift?"

Peng Peng raised his head and said, "I gave it away. I gave my puppy to Teacher Xu. Teacher Xu likes it."

Zhang Zhong shook his head, the puppy Peng Peng said was the little paper dog she folded before.At that time, Zhang Zhong fooled her and said that as long as he treats it sincerely, it can come back to life.

This girl also has perseverance, and only the puppy is kept.

But after such a long time, the puppy is still a puppy, except for getting a little older, there is no sign of life at all.

Peng Peng gave up and gave the dog to Xu Yuhan instead.

"Teacher Xu is so powerful, he must be able to feed the dog. Teacher Xu, isn't it?"

"Oh, um, yes, yes." Xu Yuhan was still in a daze, because what Hu Huifang said just now, "Being a teacher for a day and being a father for life" made her a little dazed.

"Yeah!" Pengpeng clenched his small fist, "Mr. Xu, after the puppy is alive, you must tell me."

Xu Yuhan smiled and said, "I know, I will definitely tell you when the time comes."

Zhang Zhong said, "You are tired after running outside for a day, go take a shower quickly."

Hu Huifang hummed, "Yes, it's still hot, and I'm sweating all over, Pengpeng, grandma will take you to take a bath."

"Then I'll take a shower too, son, I'll use the bathroom in your room." Zhang Xingjun also said.

Zhang nodded, "Yes."

The suite he booked has a total of three rooms, close to [-] square meters, and the master bedroom has a bathroom.

After they all went to take a bath, Zhang Zhong said to Xu Yuhan, "You have to wait a while before you can take a bath."

"I'm not in a hurry." Xu Yuhan sat down next to Zhang Zhong, took the book in his hand, "Did my dad give you this?"

Zhang Zhong laughed, "Do you think your dad will give me a book?"

Xu Yuhan shook his head, "That's not true, he can't do such a thing, you bought it yourself?"
