Chapter 378 Recognition of Historians(2/2)
"Teacher Li, hurry up and write a book, you must buy it if you write it!"
"If you are serious, please write quickly. If you are teasing me, please apologize."
"Your words contain bragging elements, it must be like this, otherwise, I think my intelligence has been hit again!"
...
Li Fan did want to publish this theoretical works of the Axial Age. This was decided when he prepared the materials for "A Brief Talk on Western History" and he has started writing.
This work takes "The Origin and Goal of History" by Carl Jaspers in the past, blends many studies in later generations, and adds Jisi to the writing.
At present, Li Fan has written about 50,000 words, which is still a long way from the time he has finished writing.
Li Fan chatted with netizens for a few words and put down his cell phone. He had just finished washing up and his cell phone ringtone was ringing.
The call was called by Jisen Publishing House, and the president said in surprise: "Xiaofan is going to publish a book again? What a good thing, let's sign the contract right away!"
"There is no book, so you can't sign a contract!" Li Fan said with a smile.
"Uh... it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Your Li Fan's name is the quality of the book. Write it slowly, let's sign the contract first!"
Well, Li Fan’s name is not only the quality of the book, but also the sales volume of the book!
As soon as Jisen Publishing House hung up the phone, Sister Jiang called, "Li Fan, are you going to publish a book? Is it true or false? Huaxia Bookstore has contacted me."
Put down Sister Jiang's phone number, Li Fan came to the class after breakfast and prepared for class. At this time, Sister Jiang's phone number came again, "Li Fan, Shanghai Publishing House is looking for me..."
In the next day, Sister Jiang called from time to time:
"Li Fan, Yuelu Bookstore, and they can achieve 22% royalty!"
"Li Fan, People's Publishing House wants to monopolize the copyright of this book for a sky-high price within 5 years."
"Li Fan, Sanlian Books also want to talk to us."
...
Li Fan was stunned. You are so enthusiastic, but my book is far from finished. Why are you anxious?
Why is it urgent?
On the official website of "People's Publishing House", in the [2019 Book Sales List], Li Fan's "New Textual Research Works Collection" stood out, and lasted for two and a half months with a huge lead.
From January 1, 2019 to today, "New Textual Research Works Collection" has sold 800,000 copies again, leading the way in 2019.
In addition to the 1.5 million books sold last year, "New Collection of Textual Studies Works" was released for 3 months, and the sales volume reached an appalling 2.3 million copies!
2.3 million books, 3 months, this crazy sales triggered a major earthquake in the book market.
Of course, the audio-visual products of books, audio-visual products are sold in advance and weak in the later stage. Except for dark horse works, this is the market rule, and the same is true for Li Fan's book.
Now the sales fanatic period of this book has long since receded, but even so, two or three thousand copies can still be sold every day. It is expected that by the end of this year, there will be no big problem in the sales of "New Textual Research Works Collection" exceeding the 3 million copies.
"New Collection of Textual Studies" fully proves Li Fan's appeal and strong sales ability in the book market, which makes Li Fan's extremely popular and particularly popular in the book market, which has attracted the saliva of major publishing houses and is bound to win.
After all, selling a Li Fan's work is equivalent to selling the total of 10 other well-known writers. Moreover, signing the big "book IP" in hand is a manifestation of the publisher's strength and the best publicity for the publisher!
Li Fan was helpless, actually you can wait. Let’s take a look at the content of my book first, and see if it suits the style of your publishing house, and then make a decision!
The publisher doesn't think so. First of all, the previous "New Textual Research Collection" has established its historical work in terms of sales and reputation. Moreover, with Li Fan's level, how bad can the new book be?
Secondly, the publishing house does not have the objective conditions to "wait". If you want to wait, you can't wait for other publishing houses. Other publishing houses can't wait for the contracts to be smashed!
Sister Jiang discussed with Li Fan: "Li Fan, negotiate terms and sign a contract?"
"Talk about it, who makes them not afraid!"
"They are not afraid. If you put your primary school works together into a book and publish them, some of them will also send them a big contract. By the way, let's give priority to the four major publishers, although Giesen Publishing House is the hometown publisher."
"Yeah, OK!"
Sister Jiang’s negotiations began, and at the same time, the historical community also began to study and discuss the theory of the Axial Age.
Chapter completed!
