1317, 20 million before tax!
The signing meeting that lasted for a whole month was finally over. Wang Bo, Hu Maolin, Zhang Qiong, and Zheng Yan, who took leave early, breathed a sigh of relief.
After the celebration banquet at noon, Hu Maolin and Zhang Qiong began to say goodbye to Wang Bo. Wang Bo naturally enthusiastically tried to keep him, saying that he would take them to the Shuangqing area for two days. Hu Maolin said that he had played too many places in the past month, and that he had to rush back to deal with it. In addition, the effect of signing for the nationwide sale was really good. The first three million copies were almost sold out. Book wholesalers from all over the country called the publishing house countless times every day and asked for purchases. He had to go back to guard the printing factory and urge them to print out the second printed books as soon as possible.
"Brother Zi'an, Shuangqing, the scenic spots, scenery and people in your hometown, are the only next time to come and appreciate them. After the emergence of the Internet, the book market has suffered a great impact, and sales of over one million copies have become an amazing bestseller. In addition, more and more foreign books are translated and introduced and the rampant piracy of pirated groups, the life of traditional domestic publishing houses is not easy, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce. Thanks to your unyielding, you have three phenomenal bestsellers in recent years. Our company has been publishing and distributing three phenomenal bestsellers in the past few years. But we can't take it lightly. Since you believe in the company, you believe in the company, and I can't hold you back. While you can still write, you must always work hard and earn more pensions.
"Hehe, brother Zian, when will you start writing "Three Body 3"?"
Hu Maolin's words made Wang Bo feel a little sad and moved at first, but the last words of the other party's true form made him "very angry". He immediately kicked Hu Maolinxu.
"Gogun, go back to your imperial capital! I'm too lazy to keep you!"
Wang Bo asked his second uncle to drive Hu Maolin and Zhang Qiong to the airport. He also went to see him off. After a month of eating and living together, traveling together, traveling around the north and north, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers in China, and over a dozen first- and second-tier cities, Wang Bo's wisdom towards Hu Maolin, a businessman, was often full of the kind of literati "I dare not forget the worries of the country" and guiding the country. The scholar's enthusiastic friends also had a deep friendship. He himself was a literati. When he was farewell, he parted with him. He was a long time ago. He said, "I will leave after sending you a thousand miles apart" and "I advised you to have a glass of wine" to express his feelings. It is also a good idea.
Naturally, the sourness between the two was very "mockery" by Liang Ya, Sun Li, Zhong Jiahui and Zhang Qiong who were watching from the side. There was no such thing as "baby love" in this era, otherwise they would definitely be placed on the heads of the two old and young men who hugged and recited poems.
After sending Hu Maolin away, Wang Bo, who had worked hard for a month, was completely relaxed.
On the way back, Liang Ya, Sun Li and Zhong Jiahui chattered about the trip for the next few days. Wang Bo was a little overwhelmed when he heard about traveling. He had been "traveling" for the past month. Now he still had any travel ideas. What he wanted to do most was to stay in the apartment and have a few days to sleep until he naturally woke up.
"Xiao Ya, since Sun Li is here for the first time in Shuangqing, you can see what attractions are around Shuangqing. Don't run far away. It's boring to run far away." Wang Bo reminded the other party.
"You have to say this? You must be playing around Shuangqing and Shuangqing!" The girl said with a blank look, turned around, and continued to discuss with Sun Li and Zhong Jiahui.
Wang Bo was bored and did not get involved in the discussion between the three of them, but began to calculate his income in the past or two months.
First, the unit price:
Because the word count of "Three Body 2 Dark Forest" is more than 100,000 more than "Three Body 1 Past Events of the Earth", coupled with the inflation in the past two years, the pricing of "Three Body 2" has increased to 32 yuan/book from "Three Body 1" based on 23 yuan/book.
Next is royalties:
The royalties given to Wang Bo by the two books "Wandering Earth" and "Three-Body 1" were paid by the 15% royalties of the current front-line writers in China. However, in the time of "Three-Body 2", in order to prevent other publishers from poaching people, "Writer Publishing House" raised his royalties by two points, reaching an unprecedented level of 17%.
Finally, the current sales:
Up to now, according to the data given to him by Hu Maolin, the first three million copies have been sold out, so it will be calculated based on three million copies.
Then, the pre-tax tax he deserves now is: 3000000*32*17%=16320000!
One thousand six hundred and three hundred and twenty thousand!
With more than one million signing fees from more than ten stops, plus the crazy sales of "Three-Body 2" objectively led to the popularity of "Three-Body 1". At least, those new readers who have never watched "Three-Body 1" must also buy a copy of "Three-Body 1" before buying "Three-Body 2". With the royalties of "Three-Body 1", Wang Bo roughly calculated in his mind that in his extremely busy July, his total pre-tax income should exceed 20 million!
"Now the Forbes annual rich list of Chinese literary world has not yet come out, otherwise, with my income of 20 million, I would have easily reached the top. Alas, I finally felt what Dugu Qiubai means, and the master is lonely!" Wang Bo shook his head, and sighed in his heart when he got the advantage.

Ren Wei agreed to Xia Xi's request and contributed his girlfriend Zheng Yan to Sha Shuanghao for a sleep, and exchanged it to make up for the regret that she could not dedicate her innocent body to her beloved Brother Hao! As long as Sha Shuanghao slept with Zheng Yan and had Zheng Yan's first //ye, then she would forgive Ren Wei for the things that were worse than her. The grudges and hatreds between the two were also eliminated and he no longer cared about them.
Since Ren Wei had already committed a crime, Sha Shuanghao, who returned to his apartment, was not so angry when he saw Ren Wei again, and he was stern. Seeing the mission with a gray face, as if frost was slapping eggplant, Sha Shuanghao comforted the other party and said:
"Weizi, please be more open-minded. It is also a very difficult and painful thing for me to agree to Xixi's absurd request. But now Xixi's emotions are very unstable and can easily go to extremes. I am the person she loves the most in her life. She regards her own chastity as more important than life. If you take her chastity, it will be like harming her half of her life. Only by agreeing to her conditions and making her feel at ease can you save others and yourself!
"I know that making such a decision is definitely a lack of self-esteem, embarrassing, and painful and even angry things, because I have already experienced all of these!" As he said that, Sha Shuanghao seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became distorted again. Ren Wei shivered after seeing it, and then he remembered Sha Shuanghao in front of him. Not only was his girlfriend beaten by him, but he almost committed suicide. If he wanted to be angry and wronged, Sha Shuanghao was more qualified! At least until now, his girlfriend is still very good.
Thinking of this, Ren Wei began to apologize like a conditioned reflex: "Brother Hao, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry Xia Xi--" But before he could say a few words, he was interrupted by Sha Shuanghao's wave. Sha Shuanghao's angry distorted face slowly calmed down, and became calm again, saying:
"Weizai, since the matter has happened, although you cuckolded me and almost killed Xixi, I wish I could kill you and tear you apart, but all this emotion was just a normal reaction of a normal man. I have been classmates for four years, and I have been friends in recent times and have been as close as brothers. I can really hinder you, or send you into a cell, so that you can sit in the bottom of the prison?
"What we can do now is how to deal with the aftermath, solve the problem, how to comfort Xixi, and rekindle her desire for life.
"As for the swallow who was implicated by you, I can only say sorry. What we can do now is to let the swallow pass through it ignorantly, let her think it is you, and keep her in the dark. In this way, she will not be hurt at all.
"At that time, I will give you a medicine. You can put it in the swallow's wine glass when it is not paying attention. This medicine is similar to sleeping pills, which can easily make people fall asleep.
"One night, Weizai, just one night! After that, you and Yanzi will continue to be your loving couple, a model lover, and Xixi is also her own wish."
It was already the night that Ren Wei left Sha Shuanghao's apartment. Sha Shuanghao gave him five hundred yuan to buy some delicious food and nutritious ones to replenish them. He is not a human being now, and he is not a ghost, so Zheng Yan must have doubts after seeing it. He will not meet Yan Zi in the past two or three days, and he will talk about it when he returns to normal.
At the same time, before leaving, Sha Shuanghao warned him coldly, asking him not to play any tricks during this period, such as taking the opportunity to sleep with Zheng Yan first and steal her girlfriend's red pills. What he didn't understand was that he knew how to tell whether a woman was a woman.

Ren Wei dragged his tired body and beat him back to the dormitory of the University of Li. Once he returned to the dormitory, he fell directly on the single bed on the lower bunk. Hunger, tiredness, fear, regret... All kinds of emotions burst into pieces like surging tides, bursting into his body. He started crying, crying heart-wrenchingly, sounding sad and desperate, like a helpless child.
