Rebirth 1981 starts with saving the sisters from the neighboring village.
Chapter 619 [Royalties are tens of thousands a year, not worth mentioning! ]
But he didn't say it.
When the time is right, you will know.
Peng Wanhua suddenly thought of a key question, "They are responsible for sales and after-sales service. How do the two sides share the revenue?"
Ni Guangnan said: "Because I am responsible for R&D, production, and OEM, which are all asset-heavy and investment-intensive, while he is responsible for sales and after-sales, which are all asset-light.
So according to the initial price, I will take 85% of the total revenue, and he will take 15%. Of course, if he can sell it at a higher price, the extra money will be his.”
"Well, how do we operate on Wanwei's side?" Peng Wanhua continued to ask.
Ni Guangnan: "It's still the same model, but the models are different according to the product performance. My two models are called MP-1S and MP-1PLUS, and Wanwei's are MP-1 and MP-1Pro.
Huaguang's two models are oriented towards the mid-to-high end, and the price will be higher; Wanwei's two models are oriented towards the mid-to-low end, and the price will be lower. "
Peng Wanhua nodded, this basically covered all the markets.
He then asked: "Is it the same in other places?"
Ni Guangnan: “There is a slight difference. In Europe and the United States, Ms. Catherine founded Meijing Technology and teamed up with Apple to create a new brand called Apple-MJ, and invited Michael Jackson to be the spokesperson.
The model is basically the same as before. We are responsible for producing mobile phones and selling them to her with a brand name, while Meijing Technology and Apple will be responsible for sales and after-sales service.
The remaining regions are basically operated under Huaguang and Wanwei’s own brands. By the way, the agency in India was given to Gautam.”
"Yes, that's okay." Peng Wanhua expressed great appreciation for the result.
The Indian market is notorious for exploiting foreign investors, and even the Americans cannot escape it.
Releasing agents is more in line with the characteristics of the Indian market.
What surprised him most was that Apple actually agreed to cooperate in launching a private label product.
But when you think about the fact that Catherine is a major shareholder of Apple, everything seems natural.
"By the way, I've been busy with these new products lately and haven't had time to ask about my previous book. What's the progress on your end now?"
"There are 90 books in total, and seven of them have been finalized. It is estimated that they can be printed and published this month. The remaining nine books are also more than % completed. After proofreading, it is estimated that they can be published in the middle of this year." Peng Wanhua said.
"That's good! That's good!" Ni Guangnan smiled, even happier than the successful launch of the Huaguang mobile phone.
"As expected, I knew I would find you right! This is a major event that will benefit the entire industry-university-research system and the promotion of standardization! You are the first to do so!"
When they got excited, Ni Guangnan wanted to toast him with tea instead of wine.
Peng Wanhua waved his hand and said, "You're welcome! It's mainly because of your support and that of Leader Liu from the Academy of Sciences!"
Most of the people in the team that wrote this book were drawn from the Academy of Sciences and Huaguang and Huaxin companies.
Although he is the editor-in-chief, without the efforts of others, the results would not have been achieved so quickly.
"Have the publishing house and royalties been decided?" Ni Guangnan asked.
Peng Wanhua nodded. "Several publishing houses were competing for it. Peking University, Huaqing University, and the Academy of Sciences negotiated with me for several rounds. When I gave it to one of them, the others jumped in anger. In the end, I gave each of them a few books and gave them a top royalty of 20%!"
After all, there is only one such monograph.
Making money is certain.
Especially with the book "Advanced Project Management" in the past, those publishing houses looked at Peng Wanhua's books as if they were hot cakes.
Therefore, the royalties given reached the highest level!
"That's good! You should at least get 12% of this!" said Ni Guangnan.
Peng Wanhua smiled and said, "How can I do that? My workload accounts for about 20%, so I can just take half of that, 10% of the royalties, and the rest can be shared among the rest of the editorial team."
In his opinion, his work accounted for about 20% of the entire book.
It would be a great reward for his efforts if he could get half of the royalties.
"Hey, that's not right. Even if you only did 20% of the work, your importance accounted for 80%! Even the subsequent reprints and revisions will require your efforts, and the promotion, operation, and system construction cannot be separated from you. It's reasonable for you to take at least 12%." Ni Guangnan insisted.
Ni Guangnan knew very well how to divide the royalties.
Everyone else is replaceable, only Peng Wanhua is irreplaceable.
If you give him more royalties, you can let him spend more time on it in the future. Otherwise, who will take care of the subsequent matters?
In Ni Guangnan's view, writing books is only the foundation, and subsequent operations, the construction of industry-university-research systems and standardization are the top priorities.
So he feels that respect must be given and royalties must be sufficient!
12% is the minimum respect!
Peng Wanhua wanted to refuse.
Ni Guangnan made the final decision: "You must take 12% of the royalties, and the remaining 8% will be given to the editorial team. It's settled!"
Peng Wanhua had no choice but to agree.
In fact, he understood what Ni Guangnan meant.
I'm just worried that he won't work hard in the future.
Could he, Peng Wanhua, be that kind of person?
"Brother, why do you get so much royalties while I only get 5%?" Lao Liu, who was standing by, heard all this and asked in confusion.
The first five volumes of his fantasy novel "Hongmeng Kaitian Ji" have been published by Red Star Publishing House.
The sales were pretty good, with a total of 16 copies sold in simplified and traditional Chinese.
On average, more than 5 copies were sold per volume.
The publishing house has already settled the royalties for last year and the first quarter of this year with him, totaling 30 Hong Kong dollars.
Before Peng Wanhua could speak, Ni Guangnan smiled and asked, "Wanxing, what book are you writing?"
Lao Liu then told him everything about the fantasy novel he had written, including its sales.
"Generally speaking, publishing houses will determine the royalty share based on the level of the writer. The higher the level and the better the historical performance, the higher the proportion will be. It's pretty good that you can be given so much as a newcomer. Do you know how many sales your eldest brother's books have in a year?" Ni Guangnan asked.
"One million books a year?" Lao Liu thought about it and felt that this number should be very high.
“NO, NO, NO.” Ni Guangnan stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Lao Liu, “More than 10 million copies a year!”
"What?!" Lao Liu suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief!
He originally thought that it was amazing that he had published a book and sold so many copies!
Even a little complacent.
I didn’t expect that the sales of my own book store would exceed 10 million copies a year? !
"Big pot, why have I never heard you mention it?" Lao Liu looked at him in shock.
Peng Wanhua smiled slightly.
Looking at Lao Liu's eyes, which were filled with shock and admiration.
He looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said calmly, "Keep a low profile. The royalties earned each year are only tens of millions. This little thing is not worth mentioning at all. It's not worth mentioning."
He shook his head slightly, looking nonchalant.
When he heard this fact with his own ears, Lao Liu's heart was suddenly shocked, as if there was an 18-magnitude earthquake!
He knew too well how difficult it was to publish a thousand books!
It seems difficult, but it is not easy at all!
