Chapter 42 Publishing fee: 400,000 yuan
New Year, new atmosphere, the first day of the new year, and TV programs also have a new atmosphere.
Liu Hongmin stayed in the international student dormitory because it was too late yesterday. The international students strongly requested Liu Hongmin to take them to cook Chinese food for a few days. It was obvious that they were very interested in hands-on cooking.
This group of foreigners all found Liu Hongmin humorous and liked to communicate with him. Everyone was frying fried dough sticks and watching TV.
"International News" has been on the air for almost half a year. It is one of the few channels in China for understanding foreign affairs. Foreigners can occasionally see their own country on it, so they all like this program.
As I was watching, the screen suddenly shifted to a bookstore.
“As the New Year approaches, Xiangjiang Bookstore is overcrowded. The reporter learned from interviews that most of them are rushing to buy the collection of "Young Bao Qingtian". "Young Bao Qingtian" is a collection of mystery novels written by Chinese writer Comrade Liu Hongmin , was serialized in Xiang Ming Pao half a year ago, and was adapted into a TV series by RTV soon after, causing a viewing craze..."
""Young Bao Qingtian" is the most exciting series of mystery novels I have ever seen, and the Bao described in it Qingtian is extremely intelligent, comparable to Zhuge Liang..."
"I bought the collection after watching Shaobao's TV series. There are many illustrations on TV in the collection, which are very memorable..."
When the street interview was broadcast on TV, the international students looked at Liu Hongmin belatedly.
"Liu, the Liu Hongmin mentioned on TV should be you, right?"
"It's Liu. I watched "Young Bao Qingtian" on "Weiming Lake", but I just didn't understand it..."
>
The foreign students gathered around and chattered around, making Liu Hongmin’s head tremble.
"The trap is broken! The trap is broken!"
Liu Hongmin quickly stopped and said loudly: "It is indeed me up there, but I don't know the specific situation. You guys give up first "Stop, let me see what's on TV."
The crowd immediately fell silent and made way for Liu Hongmin.
Unfortunately, the news has changed to the next one now.
Liu Hongmin thought for a while and said to the international students: "You should have heard about the history department some time ago. I was not in school at that time, but I went to Xiangjiang to work as a consultant for RTV. At that time, Sanlian Publishing House They found me and wanted to release "Young Boy Bao Qingtian", and I agreed. They wanted to release a single volume while "Young Boy Bao Qingtian" was airing, and then promote the collection after "Young Boy Bao Qingtian" was finished." br>
"It seems that the collection should be on the market, and the sales are pretty good. But I didn't expect that it would be in the news."
The international students were suddenly stunned, and then they gathered together to discuss it.
"It seems that Liu's book is selling well, otherwise it wouldn't be on the news."
"Of course, and I heard that this news is not accessible to ordinary people."
"Of course not. It’s accessible to ordinary people, but I haven’t heard that Liu’s books are so popular!”
“That’s not what I’m talking about. What I mean is that the people who read this news are all politically influenced.”
< br>A bunch of foreigners were making random guesses there, and Liu Hongmin was speechless. Fart's political influence, the above is the feeling that the Shaobao collection is selling well, and it is bringing glory to the country.
However, this is really hard to explain. Liu Hongmin could only smile while listening. As a result, these foreigners thought Liu Hongmin acquiesced. After all, Chinese people are modest and would not talk nonsense to others even if they have a strong background.
So, a beautiful misunderstanding occurred.
A few days later, Liu Hongmin received a letter from Cha Jianying. The letter was sent from Xiangjiang. Liu Hongmin went to Xiangjiang just after returning to China to check Jianying, and the two went their separate ways. In the letter, Cha Jianying congratulated Shaobao TV series on being aired in Hong Kong, and then congratulated Shaobao single book on selling well in Hong Kong. Apparently, when she wrote, Shaobao Collection had not yet been released.
At the end of the letter, Zha Jianying expressed her feelings of missing her again. Liu Hongmin had some feelings. After several months of separation, he also missed this heroic girl.
A few days later, the letter from Sanlian Publishing House also arrived. Yang Guiren talked about the best-selling situation of Shaobao's books. For the traditional Chinese version, the single book with the highest number is the seventh book "The Tribulation of the Dragon".
"The Tribulation of the Dragon" is about a civet cat exchanging for a prince. This story is so famous. Liu Hongmin used another way to interpret it, but it is still difficult to match the charm of this story.
The single volume "Dragon Tribulation" sold more than 43,000 copies, which was more than 9,000 copies more than the least "Magic Phantom".
The sales of the collection exceeded Sanlian Publishing House’s expectations. Within half a month, all 10,000 copies of the first batch of printed collections were sold out.
According to this sales volume, the printing number of the seven single volumes is more than 50,000. According to the contract, Liu Hongmin can get 8% of the copyright fee.
According to the printing number of 70,000, the average price of a single book and a collection is about 10 Hong Kong dollars. Liu Hongmin can get a copyright fee of 56,000 Hong Kong dollars for each book. Seven books is 392,000, rounded up. Four hundred thousand.
This is still an achievement in Xiangjiang. When Shaobao TV series is sold to Green Island and Southeast Asia, the number of prints will at least increase several times. By then, Liu Hongmin will be worth millions.
Hiss——
It’s only 1980, am I now achieving financial freedom?
For the next few days, Liu Hongmin’s dream was to sit in a pile of money. He woke up laughing from his dreams several times. Fortunately, he was the only one in the dormitory, otherwise Xu Liancheng would have thought he was crazy.
Although the 400,000 Hong Kong dollars had not arrived, Liu Hongmin was thinking about how to spend the money.
Buying a house has become Liu Hongmin’s first choice, but it takes a lot of time. He didn't want to wander around the alleys in the capital, so he had to wait until Zou Shifang arrived.
The second option is to invest. You cannot invest or buy these days because it is not fully open yet. However, it is possible to invest in the cultural industry. Buy some cultural relics, stamps, and novel copyrights, and hoard them until the new century. The money will be multiplied countless times in an instant.
However, investing in cultural relics requires someone to help identify the authenticity. Liu Hongmin had never even seen a few cultural relics before, so how could he understand this?
The stamps will be easy to get by then, and he happens to have a stamp album, and his hobby of collecting stamps has already been publicized. As long as the monkey tickets are issued, Liu Hongmin will make a large purchase.
Speaking of monkey tickets, Liu Hongmin immediately got up from the bed and went straight to the post office.
“Comrade, have the zodiac stamps I came here to buy in recent years arrived?”
The comrades at the post office were very enthusiastic when they saw Liu Hongmin, “Here they are, I helped you find these ten stamps. I asked for a hundred copies of the zodiac stamps and commemorative stamps for this year.”
Liu Hongmin suddenly laughed, “Thank you so much.”
< br>As he said that, Liu Hongmin took out a big unity card and stuffed it into his hand.
"Please drink."
The man looked around and found no one, so he kicked the money into his pocket.
"Wait a moment, I will get you a stamp right now."
