Chapter 100 100 Million Electronic Copyrights!
"Originally, I wanted to borrow Fang Qiu's new book, and planned to go to several cities to hold a new book launch event, and if possible, hold a new book signing event or something, but now it seems that there is no need for it at all."
After making the phone call and completing the overprinting contract with major printing factories, Zhang Xingjie sat in his office and couldn't help laughing and said with emotion: "This is already the case now, if Fang Qiu is invited here again If there is a signing event, what kind of scene will it be..."
Thinking about it, Zhang Xingjie couldn't help shaking his head quickly.
He knew that his idea was too unrealistic, not to mention that it was impossible for Fang Qiu to attend the signing event, even if he attended, it would be difficult to travel to various cities, even the capital.
After all, Fang Qiu's popularity is too hot.
At that time, it would be too embarrassing if a few came to forcefully ask for medical treatment.
When Zhang Xingjie forcibly kept his composure amid the joy and excitement brought by the huge market, other publishers expressed their envy and hatred when they saw the sales of "The Classics of Weibing" were so hot.
in the industry.
Everyone knows that Fanhua Publishing House should have closed down a long time ago.
However, by luck, they got the publishing rights of Fang Qiu's first book. Under the circumstances that the industry is generally not optimistic, they relied on Fang Qiu's first book to successfully publish from the difficult footsteps. Back to life in the world.
now.
This publishing house, which should have been closed long ago, is about to take off thanks to Fang Qiu's second new book!
In this situation, the major publishers, the more they think about it, the more they regret it.
If he had obtained the copyright of Fang Qiu's two books, he would have already become the leader in the industry, right?
...
here.
Due to the limited quantity, even though millions of copies have been sold, there are still many netizens on the Internet who have not bought "The Classics of Weibing".
Because they couldn't buy it, these netizens began to complain on Weibo, and most of them went directly to the official Weibo of Fanhua Publishing House, and frantically swiped the screen with messages.
"It's all on sale, why isn't there an electronic version yet?"
"That's right,
Why bother so much, can't you just start selling online? "
"Please enable online purchases, preferably with an electronic version."
"You let us face the computer all day, how to read the paper book, what we need is the electronic version!"
...
All of a sudden, the same petitions spread wildly on Weibo.
Traditional Culture Publishing House.
"manager."
In Zhang Xingjie's office, a staff member from the propaganda department ran into the office. After rushing into the office, he opened his mouth and said, "Look at our official Weibo, it's about to be collapsed by netizens. Countless people ran to our A petition is posted below on the official Weibo, requesting that Fang Qiu's new book can be purchased online, and an electronic version is also requested."
"e-edition?"
When Zhang Xingjie heard this, he immediately raised a question.
It is very rare in the publishing industry to ask for a book to be published electronically, because the audience for an electronic book is very different from that of a physical book.
This is also the first time for Zhang Xingjie to encounter such a situation, and he did not expect to be asked to publish an electronic version by readers.
That's what it means.
Fang Qiu's "The Classics of Weibing" has completely broken the barrier between e-books and physical books, and has truly become a good book that everyone wants to read and everyone needs!
"We will have a meeting right away. We have to think about this matter carefully, whether it can be done or not."
Zhang Xingjie opened his mouth to order.
The staff of the Propaganda Department immediately nodded, and then began to contact various departments for a meeting.
soon.
People from all departments came to the conference room.
"Everyone should know the current situation. Time is running out, and everyone should actively express their opinions. What do you think about whether or not the electronic version should be completely released?"
Zhang Xingjie opened his mouth to ask.
actually.
Zhang Xingjie himself thought about it carefully. He remembered that when Fang Qiu's last book was published not long ago, he also received a similar petition requesting that the electronic version be released.
But things weren't as crazy as they are now.
The most important thing is that this time the market is very large, and paper books are more profitable than e-books. Whether the opening of the electronic version will have an impact on physical books is a point that must be taken into consideration.
"From the data point of view, the opening of electronic copyright should not have any impact on physical books. After all, e-books and physical books are aimed at two different groups. It is almost impossible for people who read physical books to read e-books. People who read e-books are also unwilling to read physical books, and this is what readers are now.”
"I also think there is no problem. Everyone has read "The Classics of Weibing". I won't mention the content of the book, but it is very certain that such a book needs to be collected and taken notes. Now the electronic version is the most That is to make the readers of the e-book addicted to it. As long as there is the name of Fangqiu, this book has absolute collection value, so I think that those who finally buy the e-book still have to buy the physical book of."
"Now, the life of the general public is much richer, which has caused many things that are normally used to be turned into collectibles, such as hats, glasses, sneakers, etc. value, then why can’t the books we publish, physical books should be the most collectible commodity in the world.”
...
"Boom boom boom."
Just as everyone was discussing intensely in the conference room, before reaching a conclusion, a knock on the door suddenly came.
Then, Zhang Xingjie's secretary walked in from the door.
"Mr. Zhang, just received a call from an e-book website called "Huaxia Reading Network". "Electronic Copyright."
As soon as this word came out.
In the entire meeting room, everyone who was still arguing with each other was shocked immediately.
"so tall?"
"Are they crazy? Buying an electronic copyright for 50 million yuan, can they make money?"
The top management of each department were shocked by this number.
"Beep beep..."
At this time, Zhang Xingjie's phone rang.
"It should be the executive of Huaxia Reading Network. He asked me for your phone number."
said the secretary.
Zhang Xingjie nodded knowingly, then took out his cell phone to take a look, and immediately connected the call.
"Hello?"
A special official voice came from the other end of the phone, asking, "Excuse me, is this Manager Zhang from Fanhua Publishing House?"
"Yes, I am Zhang Xingjie."
Zhang Xingjie nodded affirmatively.
"Our side is Huaxia Reading.com. I believe our quotation and your secret technique have already told you. Our Huaxia Reading.com is definitely a first-line reading brand in China. Not only online reading, but also mobile reading and so on. There are very powerful promotional resources, so we hope that you will carefully consider and give us the electronic copyright of "The Classics of Weibing."
said the person on the other end of the phone.
"I can't give you an accurate answer to this matter yet, but I will think about it."
Zhang Xingjie replied.
"I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible after thinking about it."
The other party responded and said, "Then I won't bother you, goodbye."
"OK, bye."
Zhang Xingjie responded and hung up the phone.
"call……"
As soon as he hung up the phone, Zhang Xingjie heaved a sigh of relief and quickly calmed down.
And in the conference room.
The high-level executives of various departments, who had been afraid to speak out all the time, became extremely excited while looking at Zhang Xingjie.
Obviously.
The current situation is much more optimistic than they imagined.
"Fifty million."
Looking at the people in the conference room, Zhang Xingjie opened his mouth and said, "Now, the stakes of opening up electronic copyrights have increased by one point, but let's discuss whether we should open up electronic copyrights."
After speaking, everyone opened their mouths, ready to continue the discussion.
But at this moment.
"Beep beep..."
Zhang Xingjie's cell phone rang again.
Pick it up and have a look.
Another strange number.
"Hello?"
Zhang Xingjie answered the phone.
"Hello."
On the other end of the phone, a smiling voice came and said: "I am Hou Yicheng from Shiqi Chinese Network, and we very much hope to obtain the electronic copyright of "Mibing Classics" from your Fanhua Publishing House. Our Shiqi Chinese The website has top-notch resources, the largest traffic, and the largest number of paying users across the country, and we can bid 100 million for the electronic copyright of "The Classics of Weibing"!"
"One hundred million?"
Zhang Xingjie stared and called out a number.
As soon as this word came out.
In the meeting room, when they heard this number, everyone was shocked.
100 million.
That's 100 million!
Someone actually bid 100 million for an electronic copyright?
In shock.
In the conference room, the high-level executives of various departments of the publishing house nodded to Fang Qiu with great excitement and surprise, signaling Fang Qiu to agree quickly.
"To tell you the truth, our publishing house is conducting a meeting on whether to open electronic copyrights. I will convey your cooperation sincerity and conditions to the senior management of our publishing house, and I will consider it carefully."
After replying very politely, Zhang Xingjie hung up the phone.
The moment the phone hangs up.
Everyone at the scene went crazy.
"One hundred million, one hundred million?"
"Are they crazy? Even if the physical book sells 10 million copies, we can't make 100 million. How can an electronic copyright be offered such a ridiculous price?"
"I agree, I have to agree, why don't you agree with such a large profit?"
Everyone spoke out one after another, and they stopped arguing, and agreed to open the sale of electronic copyrights!
"Well, let me inquire about the situation first."
Zhang Xingjie thought for a while, walked out of the conference room with his mobile phone, came to the corridor alone, and started calling to inquire about news.
Not long.
Zhang Xingjie came back.
"How about it?"
The senior officials of various departments opened their mouths to ask.
"That's the way it is."
Zhang Xingjie said with a smile: "At present, these reading websites are in the development period, and they are investing heavily in development and expansion, which is short for burning money. After all, the traffic of Fang Qiu's book is really too big, and the traffic is exactly These reading sites need the most things."
