Chapter 135 Team
There are eight small boxes inside, each with a watch, three adult watches, more than 120,000 knives per box, five children's watches, more than 15,000 knives per box, and 30% customs duty, which is equivalent to spending more than 600,000 knives.
There were invoices and customs duty statements in each table in the box. The fat man couldn't understand the invoices all, but after seeing how much it was, he must have understood the customs duty. He paid 1.1 million yuan for the tariff alone.
"Ou, Ou, is this a small gift?"
Having already introduced it just now, Li William said with disdain: "Zhao Likuan, you are the only good friend of Brother Wu. If you were there last time, several bosses in our company would definitely give you a watch."
"Ou, Ou," the fat man beat his chest.
"Thank you for me."
Wang Er called a few little girls and put the watch on their wrists.
"Hey, brother, why are you buying a watch for us?"
"It was bought by Uncle Li and his boss."
"How much?"
"You guys are cheaper, more than one hundred thousand."
"What." Several girls were scared together.
“Wear it.”
Wang Er knew the reason. At the beginning, everyone might not think that Luwu Bookstore had taken advantage of it, but if one book was sent to another, even if there was no system, the people in this company would be cautious. In fact, Wang Er still considered the nationality factor, otherwise the higher the royalties were due to these books. Without considering the nationality factor, Luwu Bookstore took advantage of the sea this time, so he used a few famous watches for a small compensation.
Wang Er took two watches downstairs and put them on for his mother. The other one came to the store and gave them to his father for his mother.
The two talked about serious business, first talking about publicity.
The publicity of Green House Bookstore is much more grand than that of Young People's Literature and Art Publishing House. Of course, the prices of books are different and the profits are different. Playing like Green House Bookstore, Young People's Literature and Art Publishing House really can't afford it.
I only started to promote it on Twitter, and said nothing, and posted the beginning of each novel on my own Twitter, and it was interrupted at the most exciting time.
Many netizens were watching the wonderful things, but then they disappeared. They asked, and many people asked to publish a book immediately.
Then someone asked about the author's information, and Green House Bookstore still said nothing, but there were many Chinese and overseas Chinese abroad, and gradually the identity of Wang Er came to light. This is the era of information, and I can't hide it even if I want to.
The Green House Bookstore just took out the publicity of Wang Er's age, and foreign readers were also trembling and felt very bad. Ninety percent of them shouted that they didn't believe it or not.
Many people climbed the wall and caught it on domestic websites. That was not the case. They found a large amount of information and fed it abroad.
The previous publicity was just a small introduction, and it was not until then that they began to enter the real publicity. They spent a high price to invite reporters from many major newspapers and famous book critics. After signing confidentiality contracts, they sent the manuscript to their computers, let them read and then wrote a book review.
Some reporters shouted at God while watching, and another female book critic said that God has come to the world, but has come to a wrong place.
A reporter from Times News yelled in the newspaper, "Everyone, if there is one that is not a high-quality product, I am willing to run naked and run around the Manhattan community. Many readers were confused when they read it, "Be good, how much does Green House Bookstore give you?" There is no need to be so cruel."
The phone calls between publishing companies and distribution companies have been blew up by curious readers in the past two days.
Anyway, I must have missed the summer vacation, so the company decided to unify the seven books Wang Er passed on for the first time on September 1st.
In addition, Wang Er requested to register an account on Twitter to cooperate with the company's promotion.
"Okay," Wang Er climbed the wall to Twitter, registered an account, wrote a few greetings and humble words, and posted them.
William Lee immediately called the headquarters, and the headquarters immediately called the Twitter headquarters. The Twitter headquarters immediately called Wang Er. After receiving the confirmation, Twitter immediately gave a big v number.
After the Twitter was finished, William Lee asked about the remaining manuscript translation and subsequent creations.
The wind in Liulin, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory have also been translated. Now Wang Er has begun to translate the Adventures of the Bragging King. The same, the speed is unclear, so he has been under pressure.
Then there is the collection of fairy tales of the Ugly Duckling, but after this book was released, some fairy tales were still relatively small. Wang Er planned to delete twenty or thirty more articles, so that almost every remaining novel could be taken out.
"That's more than eighty chapters?"
"Maybe less than eighty articles. When I was writing these novels, I was younger. Some of them had not written well or thought about it. However, my ability was limited at that time. In addition, the children's magazine urged the manuscripts to modify them all and sent them all. Just by taking advantage of this English version, I deleted all those that were poorly written."
William Lee nodded in agreement. If this is the case, there is no need to publish a so-called selected version like the Young Literature and Art Publishing House.
"I will pass on the wind of the willow forest to you tomorrow. School is about to start. During this period, I am also working hard to translate the Adventures of the Boast King. After going to school, I will translate the collection of the Ugly Duckling Fairy Tales. There are also the second to fifth parts of the Wizard of Oz. However, this is a series of novels, so there is no need to be so anxious. I will slowly translate these books together. I will take the time to create the Dream Blowing Giant series."
"Is the Dream-Blowing Giant's Link related?"
"Basically, they are independent novels. Strictly speaking, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Adventures of the Bragging King, originally belonged to this series. As for future creations, I already have many stories in my mind, all of which are very interesting, but you know, I'm too tight to write, and you don't have to worry about the manuscript anyway."
"Fifth brother, do you have to go to school?"
"Go to go, William Lee, I am going to relax when I go to school, and no one should persuade you."
Not only William Li, but also from Green House Bookstore, while looking at these manuscripts, they thought that Wang Er was about to go to school or to the first year of junior high school. They were all depressed and sad.
When William Li went back, the fat man asked, "Wang Ping'an, did you translate English by yourself?"
"Fairy tales are not literary masterpieces?"
This sentence is really wrong. It can be said that each of these books is at the level of a classic work, but the fat man can’t understand it. Anyway, he can write his own novels in English, which is very awesome, so he asked Wang Er to treat him.
What the fat man knows about treating guests is secondary, and eating is the main thing.
The few people had a big meal and spent several hundred yuan on Wang Er, and the fat man went home satisfied.
At night, Miao Xiaohua ran upstairs and asked, "How much does a watch sent by a foreign company cost? Xiaowan said that a watch costs more than 100,000 yuan?"
"Mom, you are wrong. Wan'er and the others are wearing children's watches. The three of us are wearing adult watches. The price is even more expensive. One watch costs more than one million."
Otherwise, the fat man wouldn't beat his chest and stamp his feet. I don't want adult watches, just give me a children's watch.
"What?"
"Mom, don't worry, my books can help them make a lot of money," Wang Er ran to Wan's room and took out the Adventures of Pinocchio: "Look at the price of this book, the price of the book in Jianguo has reached 22.9 knives, and the general version also costs 12.9 knives, one knives, eight yuan two yuan. Calculate yourself, how much does a book cost?"
Now Wang Er also knows more.
Generally, when the best-selling books are released, the price is relatively expensive. When the number of times they are printed, the maximum value will gradually become cheaper. Maybe in a few years it can drop to more than nine or eight, but it is impossible to lower it, either order online and get a little discount.
Because books are expensive and many people have relatively high incomes, this is undeniable, otherwise there would not be so many Chinese people going to Jianguo, so this is the reason why picture books in another time and space became popular. In China, it is a luxury reading material, but in Jianguo, it can only be regarded as a slightly expensive children's reading material.
Because books are expensive, there is also a phenomenon that many people like to go to the second-hand market to buy second-hand books. This group is a bit large, not only the poor class, but also many middle class, as well as overseas students including China.
Miao Xiaohua opened the book and said that the book was more than 110,000 words, and there were many colorful illustrations. It was a thick book, and the price was only 16.8 yuan: "Twenty-two-nine-deep-kill, how much does it cost?"
"It costs more than one hundred and eighty dollars."
"The prices in the country are so expensive."
How to say it is expensive when it comes to labor, but many agricultural products, especially meat, are cheaper than China, and housing prices will almost match the country in a few years.
Wang Er called Liu Qianxue again.
Liu Qianxue drove a BMW to Anyuan Community.
She has formed a small team, one who studies finance and the other who studies business management, and has received two opportunities to train.
Greenhouse Bookstore talks with her about Wang Er’s e-book royalties.
When it comes to physical books, there will be printing and logistics costs, especially in developed countries. These two costs are relatively high. However, the cost of e-books is that Jianguo Writers Association negotiated with various platforms to increase the electronic royalty to 50%. However, the negotiation was not successful. After several months of stalemate, only raising the royalty from 30% to 35%, but this is the royalty on the entire platform.
It is hard to say about fairy tales. Even in developed countries, computers are more popular and e-books are not high. With Liu Qianxue's insistence, he also gave a maximum royalty of 35%. The rest were various platforms and Greenhouse Bookstore to share the accounts.
What was entangled was the royalties adapted from the comics. After five or six days of negotiation, Liu Qianxue finally got a discussion, which was better than the domestic ones. Wang Er could get a royalty rate of 7.5%.
The second is the use of portrait rights. The portraits in Wang Er's books plus the names of the books are printed on stationery, schoolbag, children's umbrella or T-shirts. This is also helpful for the promotion of the book. Wang Er did not insist and put them out, but it was only a domestic authorization. It was discussed every year instead of a lifetime authorization.
He talked about nearly three million yuan in income in a mess.
As well as the royalties of two Narnia, Wang Xiaoming, Chocolate Factory, Charlotte's website.
As far as Wang Er knows, their small team is divided in this way. Liu Qianxue takes away one or half of the share, and the remaining one or half of the share is given to the other two people. If the money goes to them, they will have to pay a considerable personal income tax.
There is also a "huge sum" later. Don't look at the few novels released by Green House Bookstore on September 1st, with many illustrations and none of them cheap. It's not just seven books, and the Niels's Journey to the Goose is almost ready for the two Narnias, because the circulation is large, in addition to the deposit of 10 million yuan, Wang Er may also receive nearly four million yuan in pre-tax royalties.
Anyway, the royalties can be paid in just over ten days, so Liu Qianxue "borrowed" more than 200,000 yuan from her parents and bought a low-end BMW to enjoy the first time.
Seeing her BMW, Wang San felt a little emotional.
Liu Qianxue went upstairs, and Wang Er told her to do something for her. This was the last thing before going to school. After hearing this, Liu Qianxue said that it was fine, so at first Wang Wen couldn't understand it. She thought Wang Er gave less. Liu Qianxue said she didn't understand. She didn't understand. My mother had not graduated yet, and she could get a million yuan annual salary, or a million yuan after tax! It was less? So where can I find a job with a higher income than this?
Chapter completed!
