Rebirth of the Almighty Internet Celebrity

Chapter 302 Good Man Card

Ning Ting's emotion cannot be wrong.

As a daughter, she seems to pay more attention to old man Ning Xin than a "stranger" like Liang Teng.

Of course, Liang Teng knew that the old man Ning Xin lived until his death, what was his biggest regret?
But if he didn't blend his personal interests in it, he would just choose to "stand by and watch."

To satisfy Ning Xin's "long-cherished wish", the "economic price" to be paid is really not light.

Calculate it based on the current cost of publishing a book.To officially publish a book, the "publisher" will generally limit the minimum "print run" to 2000 copies (not to mention that large publishing companies will limit the minimum "print run" to 2 copies and 1 copies, even if it is a recession A small publishing company must print at least 2 copies of a book).If it is less than this "print number", the "printing fee" of each volume of the printing house will increase, and the "profit" belonging to the publisher will also be diluted. The publisher thinks it is not worthwhile, and would rather not sign you. This manuscript is copyrighted.

But now Liang Teng is thinking about "publishing a book" for the old man Ning Xin, not for "profit", but just based on the good wish of "building a good relationship" with his old man, so Liang Teng can further compress "Print run".

Liang Teng tentatively decided to print 1000 copies of each book.

Liang Teng's previous life was also about this year, and he had printed a "family tree" in his hometown, so he was relatively clear about the price of printing.Without it, in order to save money, I asked many printing houses.

To print a book of about 25 words, "32K" size, and use 70 grams of paper to print, the printing cost is about 5 to 8 yuan.

Based on the most expensive printing cost of 8 yuan per copy (after all, I was looking for a printing factory near the "Emperor Capital", which is of course more expensive than the printing factory in Liang Teng's hometown), printing 1000 copies of it, the printing cost is 8000 yuan .

Moreover, since it is nominally "official" to help Ning Xin to "publish books", it is appropriate to pay Ning Xin a "remuneration" of 1 yuan for printing 3000 copies of each book.After all, a 25-word novel can be printed in about 300 pages. For books with more than 300 pages, the price is generally between 25 yuan and 30 yuan. According to 3% of the price, the "royalty" of each book is 1000 yuan, and 3000 copies are printed, so Ning Xin should be paid [-] yuan in manuscript fees.

Also, Liang Teng himself did not run a publishing company.He has to cooperate with a regular publishing company, and the other party will arrange a "book number" for you.Old writers like Ning Xin who came from that era still value the "book number" more.I feel that books printed without ISBNs can only be considered "personal printed matter" at best.

Liang Teng wants to help Ning Xin "officially publish a book" and cooperate with a publishing company to apply for an "ISBN". This will increase the cost of each book by at least 1 yuan.

The above are the approximate costs of publishing a book.

Of course, it was impossible for Liang Teng to print out all the manuscripts for Ning Xin.

Nearly 500 copies.There is not so much energy and time, and there is no need to print them all.After all, no one will read those things when they are printed.There is a waste of "paper" and "money".

If Liang Teng could, of course his original intention was to "officially publish" three or five books for Ning Xin, so as to satisfy Ning Xin's "long-cherished wish", he could stop.

However, this doesn't show the "favor" you Liang Teng gave to old man Ning Xin.Do you want to pay this little to get Ning Xin's adult love?

Kind of unrealistic.

Liang Teng made a careful assessment. Even if all 500 manuscripts were not "officially published", 100 of them had to be "selected" and officially published.This kind of human affection given to the old man Ning Xin is big enough.

It's big enough to make the elderly "cry with gratitude" to you.

Moreover, choosing 100 most satisfying "official publications" from the manuscripts of your own works shows that you are serious and responsible for this matter.This can be regarded as your "appreciation" of Ning Xin's works "from the heart", rather than having any ulterior motives.

Liang Teng even used the "psychological" analysis method to finally finalize the amount of "publishing" books for Ning Xin, which was limited to 100 books.

As calculated earlier, to officially publish such a manuscript, you need to pay 8 yuan for printing, 3 yuan for manuscripts, and 1 yuan for entrusting the publishing company to apply for a "book number". The total cost is 2 yuan.

100 books must be officially published, and at least 210 million must be prepared.It can be regarded as the money invested in the old man Ning Xin - the investment of "making good fortune".

This 210 million is not a lot of money for Liang Teng who is now pocketed with billions of dollars.Even if all 500 manuscripts are officially published, the total cost will be tens of millions.Now that Liang Teng took out the money, he wouldn't even frown.

Not to mention him, even Ning Xin's daughter Ning Ting, who has just "started a business" for a few years, now that the company is on the right track and earning a lot of money, it is not too difficult for her to take out the 1000 million.

But she never thought about it at all!

Her father never expressed his desire to "publish a book", so Ning Ting ignored it. How much the old man longed to "officially publish a book" in his heart.

Otherwise, how could you say that your daughter Ning Ting's level of concern and understanding for Ning Xin is far inferior to that of Liang Teng? !
The old man is not a pure "literati". Turning the words he created into "printed characters" is not his hobby.He simply felt that he had spent nearly 30 years on writing, which was still the best time of his life. In the end, "publishing a book" failed, and even a "watching" and "applauding" person was indebted to him. Wow, it's really lonely.

What Ning Xin is looking for is a kind of real spiritual comfort.

Because Liang Teng had a deep understanding of the psychology of this kind of people and had a good grasp of Ning Xin's ideas, he was very confident that he could gain Ning Xin's true friendship by helping Ning Xin "officially publish" it.

At that time, Liang Teng and Ning Ting discussed "cooperation matters" and actually offered a valuable "building" in exchange for a small share of Ning Ting's company. Ning Xin, an old man, participated in the discussion. , the "price" given by Liang Teng was not low. In the end, both parties were happy to "reach a cooperation agreement", and it was a matter of course, which was reasonable.

Liang Teng was like this. After conducting a "sand table deduction", he identified the direction and drew up the tactics, so he no longer hesitated.

Ready to implement his plan in a big way.

The night was already deep at that time. Liang Teng cleared his mind and felt tired, so he leaned on his pillow and fell asleep deeply.

Sleep till dawn.

Liang Teng then entrusted Wu Xia, a native of the "Emperor Capital", to help him find suitable personnel (especially those with "publisher" contacts) to help him with various trivial matters of "official publishing".

Suddenly hearing that Liang Teng had made such a request, Wu Xia and Yan Qianyu were very surprised.

Wu Xia couldn't help shouting: "Liang Teng, what masterpiece did you write and prepare to publish it?! You are really good enough. With such a busy business, you can still find time to write a major work?! If you want to select "Business World" Gongmo', I promise to vote for you!!!"

Liang Teng laughed dryly.Quickly explain: "It's not me who wants to publish a book. It's an old friend who wants to publish a book. I'm just doing him a favor."

Wu Xia became interested, and asked: "What book are you planning to publish? You are interested in helping the other party through various tedious publishing processes. I guess it must be a good book that will amaze you. When the book is officially released Once it’s published, I’ll take a copy and read it for a while.”

Liang Teng, however, "vaccinated" and lowered her psychological expectations: "Don't. My old friend's books actually lack classic 'classic works'. Otherwise, large publishers would have rushed to help him." The book has been published. Why do you need me to help contact the publisher? In short, you should not have any expectations for his book, and it is best not to read it. But the middleman you contact for the book publishing business must be effective. It is best. I have cooperated with large publishing companies.”

Wu Xia felt that his mind was a little confused and he was not able to use it well.

You have to contact a large publishing company, and you have repeatedly emphasized that your old friend's book is not popular. What do you mean?Aren’t these two “self-contradictory”?
Wu Xia got acquainted with Liang Teng, so she didn't hesitate to express her doubts directly.

Liang Teng, however, looked "confident" and said calmly: "The quality of my old friend's book is indeed not good. It can even be described as 'unbearable'. The reason why we need to find a large publishing company to help There is only one very simple reason for "publishing a book", that is, he plans to publish a lot of books... Well, if you think about it, he plans to publish 100 books. With such a large volume of books, a small publishing company Can you afford it? As far as I know, some small publishing companies only publish a few hundred books a year. Therefore, you need to find a large publishing company that has the ability to help you publish in a short time. Such a large number of personal books.”

After speaking, he took a look at Wu Xia.In the eyes, it seems to say, "Do you think I'm joking? I'm serious!"

Wu Xia was speechless.

What else can I say?Liang Teng is a person who often behaves strangely, and most of the friends he meets are also strange people.

Why do you write so many works that are "unbearable and eye-catching" and of poor quality?I wrote 100 books in one breath, waiting for intensive "publishing" together.The cost here is also considerable.

Wu Xia didn't know that the actual finished manuscripts created by Ning Xin were close to 500.It's just that Liang Teng plans to help him publish 100 of them.Otherwise, if all of them were included in the "book publishing" plan, the astonishing number would make Wu Xia's jaw drop.
There is no way, Ning Xin is so weird.He is willing to spend 30 years of good time to create 500 manuscripts with a total word count of more than [-] million. Such a character can be regarded as "unprecedented".

Liang Teng wants to gain friendship by helping the other party officially publish 100 books. It is best to be regarded as a "benefactor" by the other party.Of course, Liang Teng didn't bother to elaborate on this approach with a strong utilitarian purpose to Wu Xia.

Therefore, without knowing all of Liang Teng's true intentions, Wu Xia also felt that his various behaviors were unreasonable.

Even with the greatest goodwill to understand, only one "reasonable explanation" can be found.That is: Liang Teng has always been used to "righteousness", and now that he has made a fortune, even if he pays for it out of his own pocket, he still wants to help his old friend realize his "publishing dream".

Well!Liang Teng is really a rare kind person!

Wu Xia didn't just hand out "good person cards" to Liang Teng.She felt from the bottom of her heart that Liang Teng was a perfect and good person.If you are his friend, you can be taken care of by him.Which woman could be fortunate enough to be his wife in the future, Liang Teng didn't know how much he would spoil her!
That is the greatest blessing in this woman's life!

Thinking that she had understood all of Liang Teng's true thoughts about helping her "old friend", Wu Xia was also very forthright, and gave Liang Teng a clear answer: Her father, Wu Zhenting's company, had invested in a large "commercial" company in the south. newspaper.Although it is not a "controlling shareholder", it also occupies 45% of the newspaper's shares.And under the name of that "business newspaper", there is a very formal "publishing company".That company can be regarded as a well-known publishing company that can be ranked in the top [-] in the industry.

I believe that the "major shareholder" of the newspaper (Wu Zhenting's company) sent someone to the subordinate "publishing company" to contact the business of publishing a batch of books, and it is estimated that the other party will sell this face.

There's nothing to say no to.

This is not a bad thing.

When Liang Teng heard her say this, he knew that the matter was "certain".But Liang Teng still said a few polite words: "It's a bit embarrassing to have to trouble your father, a great god, to come forward for a trivial matter like my friend's 'book publishing'."

Wu Xia couldn't help laughing: "What are you thinking? You say it's just a trivial matter. For such trivial matters, I can just ask 'Old Xu' who is in charge of this business in Wu's father's company to come forward. Besides, everything will alarm his old man What? It's not necessary at all. I don't want to complicate things."

Liang Teng listened, and nodded: "This is even better. Then the matter of my old friend publishing a book, is it settled like this?"

Wu Xia nodded: "It can be settled. Don't worry! But there is one thing to remind you, like this, the other party does not take the initiative to ask for a manuscript. Generally, the publishing company will only help you get a publishing 'book number' at a discount, and is not responsible for funding the printing of the book. Yes. Of course, if your old friend has strong confidence in the work he created, he can also formally submit it to our affiliated publishing company. According to the formal method, the editor will have the first trial, the second review and the third review. If the third review goes well If it is passed, the other party agrees that they will pay for the printing of the book. The specific number of prints will be agreed upon at that time."

Liang Teng said with a smile: "It is because the quality of the manuscript cannot be guaranteed, so I plan to find someone to help 'publish the book'. This time, I plan to publish 100 books. With such a large number, who can guarantee their quality?! In fact, it is still 'Self-funded book publishing'. I have already prepared more than 200 million funds for 'self-funded book publishing' for my old friend. If it is not enough, you can 'additional'. There is no need to worry about this."

Wu Xia looked at him carefully a few times in surprise, but said nothing more.I just thought to myself: Liang Teng is actually ready to spend 200 million to "publish a book" for his "old friend"?It seems that the friendship is quite good.

How did she know that Liang Teng hadn't formally contacted Ning Xin at all.He just made all the necessary preparations in advance for "tackling key problems and Ningxin".
