Chapter 29: Pre-sales of over one million in one month?! Undoubtedly a super bestseller!

Cai Xukun had just walked down from the awards stage of the Golden Melody Award, and at this moment, he was high-spirited.

"How is it?! Did the trending search explode??"

At this moment, Cai Xukun's attitude towards discussing Weibo trending searches was as casual as saying "Have you eaten?".

After all, his name had always lived on the trending searches.

If he didn't get on the trending search twice in three days, he would feel uncomfortable all over.

Not to mention, he had just won the Chinese Golden Melody Award, which had a very high gold content in the Chinese music scene, and Cai Xukun was prepared to go out of the circle.

He was even more confident in his heart that he would definitely be able to reach a new height of traffic by riding this east wind!

However, just when Cai Xukun was certain in his heart, noticing the silent expression of the agent, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Why aren't you talking?!"

The agent was afraid of annoying Cai Xukun, so he didn't even dare to breathe for a while, and carefully handed over his phone.

Once this action was taken, Cai Xukun felt even more abnormal.

Grabbing the phone, he found that there was not a single content about himself in the top five entries of the Weibo trending search!

Huh?!

All news about the Nobel Prize in Literature?!

Cai Xukun's face darkened instantly, and the fingers holding the phone turned a bit white, but he was powerless.

He felt even more depressed in his heart.

Why was he so unlucky?

He finally won the Chinese award, but all his attention was stolen by the Nobel Prize in Literature?!

Looking at Cai Xukun's not-so-good expression, the agent turned the phone page again.

"Should we also post a Weibo to express our stance?"

Under the phone raised by the agent, Bian Xiao, Du Chun, and others had already spoken one by one around the entry of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

【Bian Xiao: Never read such a good book! #LoveOneHundredYearsOfSolitude】

【Du Chun: Too excited! My favorite book was actually nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature! #NobelPrizeInLiteratureNomination】

【Hua Chenyu: Reading with everyone! 【The Old Man and the Sea JGP】】

Watching everyone start to rub against the popularity of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Cai Xukun became more and more irritable as he watched.

But how could the status of an entertainment celebrity be higher than that of the academic circle?!

Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, thinking that everyone else posted, if he didn't post, it would be easy to have an accident, Cai Xukun could only log into his account full of anger.

【Cai Xukun: Reading. 【Cute】】

The expression pack was indeed cute, but Cai Xukun's mood at this moment was not cute at all.

At this time, the fans who didn't know the mood of the main owner had already swarmed up.

"Brother, do you also like reading this book?! Then I want to go see it too!"

"Everything recommended by our Kunkun must be good things, the best Kunkun lives up to its name!"

"Damn! Why is there no paper book?! If there was, I could immediately place an order for 100 copies to support Brother!"

"Yeah, why are these publishing houses so slow?! I have money in my pocket, waiting in line to spend it!"

…

"Editor-in-chief, netizens are all saying we are slow."

Xiao Wang from the data group, who was keen on surfing the internet, was reading netizens' messages to the floral-shirt editor-in-chief.

At this moment, the editor-in-chief wearing a floral shirt had a solemn expression.

His heart was full of regret.

He had misjudged it!

He originally thought that his evaluation of the two books 'The Old Man and the Sea' and 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' was already very high.

The initial publishing fee offered was 100,000 per book, which was 200,000 in total for two books.

This was already a price much higher than ordinary bestsellers.

He originally thought it would be a nailed-down cooperation, but he didn't expect to be rejected.

The floral-shirt editor-in-chief once suspected whether the author called Pig-Raising Big Shot was too arrogant?!

But now, reality immediately gave him a loud slap in the face!

What author is too arrogant?!

Clearly, he was holding 200,000 to insult others!

This was a masterpiece nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature!

A mere 200,000 was nothing!

Adding a zero to the back would not be too much!

Thinking of this, the floral-shirt editor-in-chief jumped up from his chair and dialed the number he had contacted once before.

"Hello, may I ask if you are Pig-Raising Big Shot? I am... the editor-in-chief of Machine Industry Press who contacted you before..."

After Ye Xuan answered the phone, he heard the editor-in-chief on the opposite side stuttering first to express his worship of his works, and then carefully put forward his request.

"The maximum condition we can offer here is a copyright fee of 1 million for each of the two books.

If we can cooperate, the royalty rate here will be 10% for you, what do you think....."

Ye Xuan pondered.

The main income of an author comes from royalties.

And the main composition of royalties comes from three parts: pricing, royalty rate, and sales volume.

The most intuitive impact is the royalty rate.

Before receiving the call from Machine Industry Press, Ye Xuan had already received calls from several other publishing houses.

Most of the royalty rates they could offer were between 7%-8%.

Now that Machine Industry Press was willing to give him 10%, it was indeed quite sincere.

Of course, that itself also had the support of Ye Xuan's strength behind him.

At this moment, the floral-shirt editor-in-chief on the other side was still nervously waiting for Ye Xuan's reply on the phone.

His heart was beating faster and faster, until Ye Xuan's faint voice came.

"Let's do it, I agree."

At this moment, these two words were simply the sound of nature to the floral-shirt editor-in-chief!

It was a deal!

He knew clearly that a royalty rate of 10% might be unbelievably high for other publishing houses!

But he had a hunch in his heart.

These two books would definitely bring unparalleled returns to his publishing house!

It was even an excellent opportunity for Machine Industry Press to go to the next level! ===== CHAPTER 32 =====
