713, print 400,000!
In the next few days, Wang Bo would go around Sifang's bookstore every day to pay attention to the sales of his new books. This kind of attention actually has little practical significance, because the sales performance of "The Wandering Earth" in Sifang is not representative. However, this did not resist Wang Bo's enthusiasm for actively understanding, just like when he created online novels on a book station in his previous life and was put on the shelves and sold money, he almost went to the author's backstage to check the average number of people who subscribed to his novels several times every day.
People are always fresh, excited, and curious about the first time things.
Needless to say, the sales of "The Wandering Earth" in Sifang, one word, it's hot!
Two words, very popular!
Three words, quite popular!
The 500 books "The Wandering Earth" that Xinhua Bookstore entered were swept away by middle school students from all over the world in less than half a day. The 1,000 books he entered were sold out again in less than a day. The manager of Xinhua Bookstore wanted to add the book for the third time, but was told by the provincial company that the book was out of stock. At present, the publishing house in Beijing is contacting the printing factory for emergency printing. It will take at least one week from printing to receiving.
Almost the same day, Wang Bo received a call from Hu Maolin, editor-in-chief of Writers Publishing House. Hu Maolin's first words were congratulations, congratulations to his debut/female work, and achieved a huge start. The first 100,000 copies have been sold out. The publishing house has urgently contacted the printing factory to print 400,000 copies again! At the same time, the book sales rankings counted by book dealers last week, "The Wandering Earth" topped the first place in the sales list at a rocket-like speed! According to the current sales trend, if nothing unexpected happens, the sales champion of the book market this year may be the leader of the literary dark horse and won the championship in one fell swoop!
"Editor Hu, have fun together!" Hu Maolin's words made Wang Bo very happy. Although he had already made a big preparation for his new book, he had not received specific information from the publisher for a day, so he was still worried about gains and losses and was difficult to be at ease.
Now, less than a week, the sales volume of 100,000 copies are already the best-selling one!
"Editor Hu, since the first printed 100,000 copies have been sold out, is the manuscript fee for these 100,000 copies..."
"Haha, Brother Wang, in addition to reporting your victory, I called you this time to notify you that I have arranged financial services to pay for your first batch of royalties. You can check your bank account in two days." Hu Maolin laughed and sounded quite good.
"Okay, then thank Brother Hu. I can't wait for this."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The two chatted again, and Hu Maolin said: "Brother Wang, taking advantage of this hot east wind, I plan to hold a nationwide signing for "The Wandering Earth" to take advantage of the victory and expand the popularity of "The Wandering Earth" and your influence in the literary world. I hope you can cooperate at that time. I have identified five cities to participate in the signing, the Imperial Capital, the Magic City, the Yangcheng City, Nanjing, and your hometown Shudu. What do you think?"
"Ah, the signing party? And there are five cities? Brother Hu, you don't know that I am still a high school student who will take the college entrance examination next year, right? One or two cities can still take leave, but there are probably not so much time in five cities." Wang Bo was shocked, but he became vaguely proud of the next second, thinking that I, a flop writer who could not even afford to eat in my previous life, actually had a signing party one day.
"Haha, don't worry, brother. I will definitely not delay your homework. It's mid-May now, and it's only more than a month before the summer vacation. I will arrange the signing meeting for the summer vacation. When you have time, the students will also have time. Moreover, I need time to prepare here." Hu Maolin explained.
After the other party said this, Wang Bo completely relieved and told Hu Maolin that if it was arranged for the summer vacation, there would be no problem here. Then he would be fine to notify him in advance.
Two days later, Wang Bo rode his bike to Sifang Construction Bank's ATM ATM machine, stuffed his bank card and entered his password. Soon, on the ATM screen, a number with 2 first appeared in the balance column below his account name, followed by five zeros.
"Hu Maolin is still quite good at being a human being." Just a brief look, Wang Bo understood that the first manuscript fee of 100,000 copies was paid to him at a maximum manuscript fee of 15%. In the publishing contract he signed with the other party, only when his new book sales reached 500,000 copies, the publishing house would give him a 15% manuscript fee. Although the second printing has reached 400,000 copies, and the first printing has already reached 500,000 copies, it has already been 500,000 copies, but whether the subsequent 400,000 copies can still be bought as fast as the previous 100,000 copies and goes so popular, strictly speaking, it is still unknown. The other party pays 15% manuscript fee, which requires a certain risk, although this risk is completely slim in Wang Bo's opinion.
Wang Bo, who had more than 200,000 yuan in one go, had his private money at will, and he felt as if he had been lighter than several kilograms. And when he thought that after a while, more than 800,000 yuan of unpaid money was about to be recorded, he would soon become a veritable millionaire - not a millionaire on paper, but a real million yuan in cash. Wang Bo felt that he was not riding a bicycle now, but a magic broom that was about to fly, as if he could use a little more force on his feet to ride the mountain bike under his butt into the sky.
Compared with the cash flow of more than 200,000 yuan in rice noodle shops and the shares calculated in billions or even tens of billions of dollars in the future, the feeling brought to him is completely different.
With the ability to attract money with a net profit of more than 10,000 yuan per day and a year of more than 4 million yuan, all assets with no debt, tangible and intangible combined, even if the valuation of 40 million yuan cannot be said to be high. This is still the valuation of "Zeng Sao Mi Noodles" when they are guarding their four flagship stores and stay still.
However, although the value of "Zeng Sao Rice Noodles" is as high as tens of millions, the working capital has not been much, only hundreds of thousands. As soon as the rice noodle shop is paid, Wang Bo took it to open a branch. Although the working capital of the rice noodle shop belongs to Wang Bo and Wang Bo can also use it at will and has unquestionable decision-making and use rights, he "can't" use it randomly and uses it without any scruples. The money generated by the rice noodle shop is not created by him alone. He just made a good start, but the burden fell on dozens of relatives and employees, including his parents, Tian Xin, Zeng Ping, and the uncles.
Although Teng/Xun's shares have high value and unlimited prospects, they are still only book value and cannot be cashed out. Moreover, Teng/Xun's money is completely opportunistic and has taken the luck of luck. He has not made much effort or made much effort. In Wang Bo's opinion, although it is important, but it is not valuable enough, it is difficult to bring him much pleasure and sense of accomplishment.
But the more than 200,000 yuan manuscript fee for writing novels is different. Although the creativity of novels and articles is copied by Liu Chixin and Han Leng in the previous life, he wrote one by one. It took him half a year to copy it, and it was not entirely copied - it was impossible to copy it completely. It added a lot of his own things, and the two lifetimes of insights. Whether the length or quality of the article, compared with the original work, he could say without blushing that the master is better than the blue!
Moreover, this job has no help from anyone or collective cooperation. It is entirely the one who spent countless time and effort to find out how he searched for a lot of information every day in class, bedroom, and library!
With a lot of time and countless efforts, coupled with a forward-looking layout, he finally became famous and gained both fame and fortune. Therefore, the more than 200,000 royalties in Wang Bo's own card have a completely different meaning and weight to him than the cash flow of the rice noodle shop that Zeng Ping had to report to him during the period!
