Chapter 262 There is hope
It is not easy to become "other people's children" in the hearts of thousands of students
Pull down the mouse to exclude those with "grievances" Students leave messages.
There are different opinions.
Netizen Xiaoyaoyixin said: "I bought it when I saw the recommendation on the website. Maybe it's because I don't read much. "Flatland" made my eyes shine. I never thought that popular science books could be written like this. ”
In addition, netizen Daqian520 also left a similar message: "The little prince doesn't think Gu Lu is a genius, because I have also heard thought-provoking questions from my four or five-year-old nephew. In my original opinion, Gu Lu is a genius A precocious child who has not lost his sense of childhood. When I read "Flatland", I am like a little sparrow looking up at the big roc in the sky. "
Daqian 520's words are a bit exaggerated, but it's a sign. Mingming nodded in agreement, "You have to appreciate the power of the little prince carefully. Flat Country really turns the second page and you can feel the author's unconstrained thinking."
"Why the second page? "Mu Xue's focus is a bit strange.
"The first page is the title page, and the second page is the preface." Zhao Mingming opened the book at hand.
[Salute to all residents of Spaceland, especially Mr. Ronaldo
...]
"We are called a space country because we are three-dimensional with up and down. This setting is very novel." Zhao Mingming seemed to have thought of something as he said this and asked, "Do you want to go to bed before you go to bed?" Didn’t you read it?”
“Ahem—” Mu Xue said, “You know, I read books before going to bed for hypnosis, and the effect is very good. I don’t even remember what I read when I wake up. . ”
“My dad often says that I am very frugal. I can read a book over and over again and it will still look like a new book.”
It is confirmed that he is his biological father.
"What are you doing staring at the preface for so long?" Mu Xue turned her head and saw the little sister's eyes fixed on her.
“Your cousin likes to hide little Easter eggs in the preface. For example, “The Little Prince” thanks himself, “Mr. Holmes” thanks Zhang Yudong, and this time “Flatland” pays tribute to Mr. Ronaldo——”
Zhao Mingming paused for a few seconds before expressing his judgment,
"If I'm not mistaken, my cousin must be a fan. Both Ronaldo and Ronaldo are famous."
< br>"Of course, he is from the basketball club." Mu Xue responded subconsciously.
"?" Zhao Mingming.
Muxue didn't pay attention to the little sister's eyes. She stared at the computer screen and continued to read the comments.
Most of the following are discussing "Flatland", which reflects the popularity of the book.
Except there is a message that is different.
SANDWORM: [You are so talented. "If there is no Li Bai" is so well written. Why doesn’t Gu Lu continue to post videos? Have you forgotten your account password? It looks like the registration date was last year. It would be nice to share how to write an essay if you have time. Even if I don’t share this, I would still like to introduce the works I have read recently. This is the first time I’m so close to a talented writer! ]
It can be seen that netizens are a little excited.
“It’s quite famous...” Mu Xue’s sigh was a double entendre, referring to both the work and the person.
Before she has time to spend money to hire a navy, "Flatland" is so popular, is it difficult to deal with it? Mu Xue discussed the matter with her little sister, who also put away her smile and thought seriously.
Three cobblers stood up to Zhuge Liang, and the sisters worked together to cut through gold. After discussion, Mu Zhao and the two finally came up with an idea...
On the other side, in the Magic City, there were also two people Discuss things.
"Brother, have you really resigned? Aren't you comfortable with an annual salary of 120,000 euros in Bantam even though you have a good job?" said my friend Maodou.
Bantam is a publishing brand affiliated with Random Alliance, which is very powerful. Yao Xiaoju is definitely a successful person if he can serve as a book brand operations officer at the age of 33.
Yao Xiaoju corrected, "The original annual salary, including the year-end bonus, is only 80,000 euros. The 120,000 euros is the additional bonus for running "A Song of Ice and Fire". This kind of book is rare. "Damn it, according to the euro exchange rate, that's more than 600,000 yuan, which is higher than your current income!" Maodou felt that the other party was a fool.
"You can't calculate it like this. I live in the UK most of the time. If you want to calculate the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation, my income is equivalent to about 30,000 yuan in China." Yao Xiaoju also knows that he His income is considered good in both China and Britain.
"With your qualifications and connections, you can definitely apply for a job with better salary conditions." Maodou said, "8%, the author must have foreign income, I will do the math later..."
Maodou is ready to use Mobile phone calculator, but Yao Xiaoju instantly burst out, "It will take more than 7 million yuan in overseas income to get the same income as before."
It turns out you know it too! Maodou asked again, "Do you think "Mr. Holmes" can have such good sales?"
"It will be difficult within one or two years. But give me three years and I am confident." Yao Xiaoju said .
When Yao Xiaoju met his friend and wanted to persuade him, he explained the actual reason clearly, "Under normal circumstances, it will be difficult for me to prove myself in ten years!"
As soon as these words came out, Maodou was speechless. Of course he knew that Yao returned to China for that woman and was dumped.
Want to prove that you are richer than the third generation of rich people? Maodou feels so naive, how can he defeat the opponent's official and business intrigues of two generations... ahem, the hard work of two generations?
"I have read all Gu Lu's books, and I see the shadow of many people in him." Yao Xiaoju said sternly, "As for the book "The Little Prince", do you know how much sales it has in Neon? Is it scary?”
How scary can it be? Maodou looked at his friend with an expression that said, "I'll learn more about it if you tell me."
“With a sales volume of more than 400,000 copies, based on the Japanese version of Little Prince costing 1,800 yen per volume, his income in the first half of the year was more than 3 million yuan.” Yao Xiaoju said.
Of course, he doesn't get any income from this money. If another version of "The Little Prince" is to be released in Neon in the future, then Yao Xiaoju will benefit.
“I don’t study well, so don’t lie to me!” Maodou said.
“If I don’t deceive those who read less, how can I deceive those who read more?” Yao Xiaoju said, “No kidding, because the price of a Neon book is very good, about 80 yuan, even if it is With a 10% royalty, you can get 8 yuan for selling a copy.”
Yao Xiaoju is exaggerating because he knows that Gu Lu’s royalty is more than 10%, and Neon is based on printing. . Currently, there are four stamps, totaling 550,000 volumes. Gu Lu can get 550,000, but he doesn't want to bother explaining the difference in stamp duty.
"So..." It seems that earning more than seven million is not impossible. Maodou breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that his friend didn't get carried away by love.
"Little Prince is popular in Neon, but it may not be popular in the UK, but this is indeed an opportunity." Maodou said.
As a friend, rationally speaking, I should give some advice. My ex-girlfriend is already married, so why do she still remember to do it? But emotionally speaking, if a man doesn't fight for anything, he will basically be in trouble and have no motivation.
“How long will it take to fly abroad?”
“The day after tomorrow.”
“Then I will accompany your dad today and have a nice drink.”
"Go away, if I don't beat you, you traitor, for three days, you're going to have to go to bed?"
......
I won't say who will win when drinking, Yao Xiaoju flew to England anyway That day, Yu Xinyao posted a comment on the column.
Pushing the popularity of "Flatland" to its peak!
