Sign in Starts From Farming in the Countryside

Fortunately, the people in the printing house kept reprinting it the night before, otherwise the book would be out of stock the next day.

Don't say that foreigners don't work overtime, that's all bullshit, if the money is enough, who doesn't work overtime.

Do you think foreigners are all rich? There are many poor people in foreign countries. Look at the streets of foreign countries, how many unemployed people, but their media did not report it.

What they let you see is good, and make you think that foreign countries are paradise, but when you really go, you will find that fart paradise.

Xiao Zhengnan is very generous. Whether it is an employee of a publishing house, a printing factory, or a clerk in those bookstores, the salary he pays is high enough to allow these people to live even in the international metropolis of New York. Subsistence life.

In particular, the employees of the printing factory have not worked for three months, but their wages are not less than a cent, and they should have a lot of various subsidies. Now let them work in three shifts, how could these people not do it.

Three shifts, according to Xiao Zhengnan's regulations, they can get more money.

Foreigners are also under pressure to support their families.

The printing factory is the people who stop the machine and print at full speed.

A printing factory with tens of thousands of people, with three shifts of non-stop printing, can't keep up with the speed of sales.

As soon as the book was shipped to the bookstore, the book was sold out by the readers who had been waiting for a long time. This is still the case where the bookstore is limited to one book per person. If it is not limited, I am afraid that one person will buy it directly.

Don't think it's impossible, there are scalpers in foreign countries.

The Harry Potter book is so popular, and the market is still so out of stock, do you think no one will be a second-order dealer?

Foreigners are not fools, they also want to make money.

The population of New York City alone exceeds 100 million, and there are more than 3,000 bookstores.

With so many bookstores, only the hundred or so of the publishing house sell this book. Do you think the rest of the bookstores will be jealous?

They also want to buy and they want to make money.

But the key now is that the printing house can't print so many books, and the books printed every day can only barely supply the 100 bookstores directly under the publishing house.

Want to supply other publishing houses, but not enough.

Of course, it's not that it really can't be supplied, but Xiao Zhengnan doesn't allow it to be supplied now.

Why?

Very simple, it is for hype, it is for free advertising.

Over time, the book's reputation has grown, and many well-known writers in New York City have reviewed the book. The reason these people commented on this book was because before this, no writer had ever thought of writing a fantasy type of book.

The most popular is science fiction, followed by history, and finally the literary love category. There is no magic type. When Harry Potter came out, it really created a new type. Do you think it can be popular?

We also said before that this is a parallel world, and the history and the earth have the same places, but most of them are different. The same is true in terms of literary works. There are almost no literary works and novels on the earth in previous lives, whether they are Chinese or foreign.

That's one reason why the book was so popular.

In this parallel world, especially in foreign countries, they attach great importance to various copyrights, and the laws to protect copyrights are very perfect.

The book of Harry Potter is so popular and the market is so out of stock, but there is no bookstore or printing factory that does pirated printing.

Why is this happening? Because the cost of piracy is too high, if you dare to pirate, once you are found, you will be punished directly and you will go bankrupt.

Don't have luck in your heart. In the face of perfect laws, there is no chance of luck.

With word-of-mouth, plus comments and likes from famous writers, as well as reports from TV stations and news media, the book of Harry Potter is completely popular in the United States.

Booksellers in major cities in the United States waved banknotes to the publishers to order, because the book is not available in other cities in the United States except for New York.

Not only that, but booksellers in other countries in North America and Europe also joined the snatch after seeing the Harry Potter book so popular.

The printing house can't even meet the needs of a New York City, let alone other cities in the United States, let alone those in North America and Europe.

At this time, Xiao Zhengnan began to come forward and discuss cooperation with those big publishing houses in other countries.

The cake is too big for Xiao Zhengnan to eat alone, especially for his newly established publishing house, eating alone is unacceptable. If you don't share some profits, believe it or not, those old publishing houses will unite to suppress his publishing house every minute.

Never underestimate the power of foreign capital. When you are not qualified to be on an equal footing with them, you must abide by the rules of the game set by them.

He saw this very clearly.

For the publishing house's first book, Xiao Zhengnan had no idea how much money he would make. His purpose was to spread the publishing house's reputation, establish channels, and prepare for the future.

His strategy is very simple, that is, win-win cooperation, and slowly grow himself until his publishing house can be on an equal footing with those old-fashioned publishing houses.

But it takes time, the meal needs to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road needs to be taken step by step.

As long as the publishing house he established can continuously publish high-quality books that are popular with readers, then his publishing house does not have to worry about not growing.

For the future of the publishing house, Xiao Zhengnan is not worried at all.

With the novels Lin Chen gave him, it would be difficult for the publishing house to grow.

There are as many as seven Harry Potter novels alone. The first one is popular, and the following ones are also not bad. In addition to this book Harry Potter, Xiao Zhengnan has better novels in his hands.

When negotiating with other established publishing houses, Xiao Zhengnan has always held the initiative. After some intense negotiations, an agreement was finally reached.

New York and several surrounding cities belong to Xiao Zhengnan's publishing house. As for other states in the United States, they have given to several major publishing houses in the United States. Other countries outside the United States, as well as Europe, Asia and other regions, have given them to the largest local publishing house. .

The cooperation between Xiao Zhengnan and them is very simple. The price of this book is 25 US dollars. The major publishing houses need to pay Xiao Zhengnan a fee of 2 US dollars for each book printed. In addition to this, they also pay the author, that is Lin Chen's 15 percent royalties.

As for the film and television adaptation rights of this book, it is still in the hands of Xiao Zhengnan. It is not that these publishing houses have not thought about buying the film and television rights, but unfortunately Xiao Zhengnan does not sell them.

This book is so popular, it will definitely be a box office hit if it is made into a movie, and some of the income from film and television peripherals can't be lower.

Just look at the number of sales in the past two weeks.

Not talking about the US, but just talking about foreign countries, in half a month, more than one billion copies were sold abroad, plus the sales in the United States, the total sales reached more than 1.18 billion copies. .

Don't think that this number is a lot. In fact, it is not much at all. The total sales of the seven Harry Potter books in the previous life reached nearly 340 million copies.

That figure was sold on the premise of a global population of 7 billion, but in this world, the population of the United States alone exceeds 10 billion. What do you think the figure of 1.1 billion is?

Not much, as time goes on, this number will be even larger. According to the estimates of major publishing houses, the global sales of Harry Potter's first Philosopher's Stone book will exceed 2.5 billion copies.

If this figure can really be reached, then Xiao Zhengnan's publishing house will have a revenue of five billion US dollars, and this figure does not include the revenue of the tens of millions of books sold by his own publishing house.

As for Lin Chen, then his income is even more. Preliminary estimates are at least more than $9 billion.

Of course, this figure is pre-tax, but even after paying the tax, Lin Chen's royalty income exceeds 7 billion, plus Xiao Zhengnan will help him to avoid tax reasonably, that's even more.

There are a total of seven Harry Potter books. If each of them is sold at this rate, then Lin Chen will have an income of 50 to 60 billion US dollars just by virtue of the Harry Potter novel. I am afraid that this number cannot even be imagined by himself. .

Lin Chen made a lot of money, but those publishers also made a lot of money. Except for the six dollars that were given to Xiao Zhengnan and Lin Chen, there were still nineteen dollars left. Of the nineteen dollars, at least ten dollars were pure money earned by those publishers. profit.

Can't make money, will those publishing houses be so active?

With the worldwide sales of the Harry Potter Philosopher's Stone, Lin Chen, as the author of this book, has become the best-selling author at present.

Of course, those foreign readers don't know Lin Chen's existence, all they can know is the pseudonym that Lin Chen gave him, little boy.

English: Littleboy.

Readers all over the world want to know who this Littleboy is, especially those reporters who are pervasive and want to dig out the true information of Littleboy.

Unfortunately, these reporters are destined to be disappointed, because there are only two people in the world who know the real information about Littleboy, one is Lin Chen himself, and the other is Xiao Zhengnan.

Those reporters went to interview Xiao Zhengnan, but Xiao Zhengnan didn't reveal it at all. If he was in a hurry, he said that this was what the author requested. Otherwise, once he leaked the author's information, the other authors of this novel would not be handed over to him. published by the publishing house.

boom!

Although I didn't get Littleboy's real identity information, it's not a disadvantage to get the news of this Harry Potter and the second part from Xiao Zhengnan's mouth.

The most popular novel at the moment, readers from all over the world are expecting the author to write the second one, because the first one is so good, they expected that there might be a second one, but they didn't expect it to happen.

As soon as the news came out, Harry Potter fans around the world were boiling, and they were eager to see the second part.

And Lin Chen also became famous in the world with this book, but people all over the world don't know him, what they know is his pseudonym Littleboy.
