Re-select the life system

Chapter 31 31 Publishing
It was already the end of November when Xiao Han received the sample draft sent by Qin He.

When he received Qin He's sample draft that day, it was already afternoon, because his colleagues were going to have a dinner in the evening, so he put the sample draft in his briefcase and prepared to take it home to read after the dinner.

On the wine table, Xiao Han chatted happily. Among literati, romance is indispensable on the wine table, and colleagues talk about the past and the present, so happy.

Xiao Han drank a little too much. Under the stimulation of hot pot and wine, Xiao Han felt a little weightless in his buttocks. He had to go to the toilet. He picked up the briefcase under the seat and rushed to the toilet.

After taking off his pants, Xiao Han realized that he had forgotten to bring paper. Looking at the briefcase, Xiao Han thought about it and opened it, and began to search.

After searching for a long time, Xiao Han only found a thick envelope. He drank a little too much, and after thinking for a long time, he patted his head and remembered that this was a sample manuscript sent by the teacher Li Yuncong.

Xiao Han looked at the envelope in his hand, hesitant to open it, and always felt that it would be impolite to wipe his ass with the sample draft sent by others.

In the end, Xiao Han's rationality overcame his emotions. He quickly tore open the envelope, took out a thick stack of manuscripts, opened the first page, and was ready to start reading.

He has secretly made up his mind to read it first by himself. If the manuscript is okay, just wipe a piece of paper, if not, just wipe a few more, and then just reject the other party directly.

When Xiao Han saw this, his mind was full of ???
Isn't this a historical novel?what's the situation?
Although his mind was full of doubts, Xiao Han calmed down and began to look, anyway, he hasn't finished shit yet, let's pass the time!
Before he knew it, Xiao Han had been squatting in the toilet for almost half an hour. He had already read most of the sample draft that Qin He had sent him, until his colleagues saw that he had not come for a long time, and thought something was wrong, they came to the toilet and knocked on the door. Only then woke him up.

He hurriedly asked his colleagues for toilet paper to wipe his butt, and hurried back to the banquet. Seeing his appearance, everyone hurriedly asked.

Perhaps because he had drunk some wine, or perhaps he saw something interesting, Xiao Han took out the manuscript sent by Qin He and showed the opening chapter to his boss.

Xiao Han divided up the other manuscripts. He still had two that he hadn’t finished reading, so he began to read them. The wine table that was still lively just now, soon appeared a quiet scene. Everyone present was doing text-related work. Everyone is used to this situation.

Soon after the boss finished watching Chapter 1, he exchanged Chapter 2 with the person next to him.

In this way, until half an hour later, the boss finally finished reading Qin He's sample draft. He stroked his mustache and asked a little uncertainly.

"This manuscript is interesting. Is the author planning to publish it?"

Xiao Han had already finished reading it, but when his boss asked questions, he quickly answered.

"Editor-in-Chief, you should have heard of this author."

"I have heard?"

"A few months ago, an author named Li Yuncong published more than a dozen articles in our magazine. Do you still have any impression?"

"Oh! I remembered, it's him! Has he written a novel recently?"

Xiao Han wanted to tell Qin He about his appointment for Zhiyin magazine, but he was afraid that the petty editor would block the publication of the book, so in the end he didn't tell him, but just perfunctoryly went through with it.

After everyone had read the sample manuscripts, this group of writers all turned the topic to this book.

This book is not a historical novel in the traditional sense. Some old-fashioned editors are not optimistic about this book, but they do not reject the publication of this book. They feel that this book should only be read by young students. For these serious reader magazine editors, this book is not particularly suitable for their appetite.

But the novelty of this book made them discuss a lot. They started discussing Zhu Yuanzhang from this book, and then started discussing the Ming Dynasty from Zhu Yuanzhang. Finally, they didn't stop discussing until the banquet was over.

Xiao Han took back the sample draft and took the initiative to send the editor-in-chief home. When he got to the door, the editor-in-chief spoke leisurely.

"Xiao Han! Why don't you let me be responsible for this book?"

When Xiao Han heard this, his face instantly collapsed!

Seeing Xiao Han's expression, the editor-in-chief burst into laughter, patted Xiao Han on the shoulder and said.

"I'm just joking, haha! I personally like this book, but you have seen Lao Zhang's opinion. This book may not be a bestseller, but I still think this book is very interesting. History It’s the first time I’ve seen a novel so easy, so go ahead and do it! I support you, you can contact the author tomorrow! See if you can sign a buyout contract, and if you don’t agree, sign it for ten years!”

When Xiao Han heard the editor's words, his face instantly turned into a smile and he nodded in agreement.

Xiao Han is really optimistic about this book, he even vaguely feels that this book will bring him a chance.

The editor-in-chief deserves to be the editor-in-chief, even though some old editors were not optimistic about it, they also felt that this book was a mess, so Xiao Han was asked to buy out the copyright of this book.

The next day, Xiao Han called Qin He. Now, Xingwang Supermarket has installed a phone, and they can contact him directly.

Xiao Han proposed to buy out the copyright, but Qin He of course disagreed and directly refused.

Seeing that Qin He was so straightforward, Xiao Han finally proposed a ten-year copyright contract, Qin He thought about it and agreed.

The copyright contract that Xiao Han proposed to buy out was naturally a one-time payment to Qin He. All profits generated from this novel in the future would have nothing to do with Qin He, and would only be a signature at most.

Leaving aside the fact that Qin He is unwilling to buy out, even if he is willing, Xiao Han estimates that the price for buying out is not high.

After all, people are optimistic about it now, and they don't know if it will become popular.

In the end, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was finally published under the operation of Xiao Han.

First print of [-] copies, [-]% royalties!
In fact, the royalty price is based on the fact that he is Li Yuncong. Qin He’s first Three-Body Problem was priced at 19.8. At that time, it was only 5.00% of the royalties, and the three thousand volumes were only two or three thousand yuan. In the end, Qin He wanted to seek old age Cui helped him find a bookseller, but in the end he didn't ask for any money, so he treated it as a dinner treat.

The royalties for real best-sellers are as high as 15.00% to 20.00%. Every time those famous writers publish a new book, they are even willing to pay royalties higher than [-]%, but Qin He can only get this treatment at the moment.

However, Qin He believes that this book will be popular. There are seven books in this book, and he has only signed the contract for the first and second books at the moment. The price will naturally increase depending on the sales volume. If it sells well, the reprint royalty will naturally increase the price.

In fact, Qin He didn't know what to do, the main three-body series hit him too hard.

It was already mid-December when Qin He sent the manuscripts of the first and second parts, and it was estimated that it would be [-] when he saw the sample booklet.

This year's Spring Festival in the Lin family is completely different from last year. The scene at home last year is deeply etched in the children's memories.

The Lin family spent the Spring Festival of 8000 in the town. Qin He spent [-] yuan to buy a two-story building in the town. From then on, the Lin family settled here.

It will be convenient for Lin Jun and Lin Qing to study in the future, and Qin He plans to spend a year or so to see if he wants to buy a one-story house in the county. The house is really not expensive now, and it will leave a place for the children in the future The place.
