Rebirth of the Great Era 1993
Chapter 423, Surprise from Rowling (Please subscribe!)
"Great writer, your package!"
There are four full classes on Wednesday morning, all of which are management courses.
As soon as Zhang Xuan arrived in the classroom and sat down, Gu Run walked over from the front, holding a mail parcel in his hand.
He was a little surprised again. He took the parcel and asked, "Why is it you today? Where is Su Jinyu?"
Gu Run smiled and said, "What? You don't want it when it's delivered to your door.
Now that I can’t see anyone, do I miss you again? "
Zhang Xuan laughed, pretending not to hear, and asked, "Where did she go?"
Gu Run replied: "The school student union has something going on."
Zhang Xuan nodded, said thank you and started checking the parcel.
I haven’t received a parcel in the mail for a long time.
I received it suddenly, and even missed it a little.
When Gu Run shouted the word "package", Zhang Xuan subconsciously thought of Seagate's four books.
Before I know it, half a year has passed. I wonder how this top student is doing?
Shaking his head, he got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to check the mail package in his hand.
Actually from the UK?
Rowling's.
Could it be that Harry Potter was published and he sent himself a signed book?
With this guess, Zhang Xuan opened the mail package.
As expected, there were three signed books and a registered letter inside.
Look at the cover full of fantasy elements.
Look at the two English letters "HARRY.POTTER" occupying the upper half of the cover.
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the greatest miracle in the history of global publishing was about to be born.
Rowling is about to begin her legendary life.
Move your eyes down
Um?
Um? ? ?
Zhang Xuan was shocked! ! !
What the hell is this?
Why is there my pen name on the cover?
Why does "Yue San" appear after "J.K Rowling"?
Why are the two names juxtaposed?
Sparkling and very dazzling.
Staring at Yue San on the cover, Zhang Xuan's mind went blank for a moment, and he was in a state of confusion.
Is this the surprise that Rowling mentioned in her letter before?
Do you want to sign your pen name?
incredible!
Maybe Rowling doesn't know what this means now. But for Zhang Xuan, who knows the future, it is self-evident what this means.
As long as this book remains as popular as the original. Then I don't have to do anything else in my life, and I can live with this name for the rest of my life.
The old man was very happy, really happy. He didn't expect Rowling to give such a surprise.
With a happy mood, Zhang Xuan couldn't wait to open the registered letter in the parcel.
This letter is very thick, with 4 pages of letter paper.
The first page of letter paper seems to be very long-winded.
But in fact, it only talks about one thing: Harry Potter was published, and the publishing house was Bloomsbury Publishing House, a publishing house with a moderate reputation.
Rowling said she is very happy now and feels she has new hope in life.
On the second page of the letter, Luo Lin told Zhang Xuan the reason why she signed his pen name and her mental journey.
Zhang Xuan's candid guidance helped her overcome her conflicts and benefited a lot.
She bluntly said that without him, Rowling would feel that her life would have no direction or meaning. The book will never be finished.
Zhang Xuan thought to himself: If you are humble, you will still finish the book, but the time will be much slower and the story will not be so exciting.
On the third page of the letter, Rowling excitedly told him that Harry Potter's publishing tax is 15%.
She apologized and said: She consulted a lawyer about the royalties, and the lawyer suggested that she take the bulk of the money and get 10%.
The other 5% goes to Zhang Xuan.
However, Rowling said in her letter that she felt a little sorry for him.
So she decided to take 9% for herself and 6% for Zhang Xuan, and made it clear that if there are other benefits generated from copyright and peripherals in the future, they will be divided according to this proportion.
Then he asked him when he would go to England? Urging him to re-sign the relevant copyright agreement.
In order to facilitate contact, Rowling left a landline number for him this time.
What?
Do you still get royalties on your contributions?
Can you still get 6%?
Zhang Xuan's head was a little dizzy, and he was so dizzy from being hit by this huge pie.
Rowling is a very generous young woman now, but I wonder if she will regret it in the future?
Will your intestines turn green?
You know, Harry Potter is not just about royalties.
Various copyrights and peripherals are the main source of profit.
If it develops according to the historical trajectory, just this 6% can bring itself at least US$2.5 billion in income in 15 years.
even more!
Thinking like this, he didn't dare to be polite to Luo Lin even though he wanted to be polite to her.
The reason is simple. The budget for the landmark design is coming out soon. Predictably, this is a lot of money.
And I had boasted in front of the Silver Horn King that I wanted to build Yingtai Complex Center into a world-class shopping paradise. How could I do it without a little money?
cannot!
Thinking of the astronomical figure of 2.5 billion US dollars and this big pie, Zhang Xuan had difficulty breathing and almost fainted.
Damn it, you actually spent money on yourself...
Taking a deep breath and calming down, Zhang Xuan continued to look down.
The content on the fourth page of the letter is about family affairs. Rowling said that she is now learning to cook. When the time comes, Zhang Xuan will go to England and entertain him personally.
Forget about your food. Western food means that apart from steak, you can’t eat anything else.
Even when it comes to steak, my style is very low, and I only eat it well-done.
If there is even a little bit of blood, I can't eat it.
Of course, I also like to drink milk.
After reading the letter again, Zhang Xuan's eyes fell on the "Harry Potter" book again.
After thinking quietly for two minutes, Zhang Xuan immediately decided to accept this generous gift.
Now that I am in urgent need of money, it is not the time to be hypocritical.
And nothing can bring in money faster than Harry Potter.
As for "Clockwork Girl," well, the publisher hasn't been found yet?
It is estimated that we won’t be able to count on it in the short term.
Besides, because of the change in authorship, it’s unclear whether “Clockwork Girl” will be as popular as it was in its previous life.
Therefore, at this urgent and critical moment, don’t even take a bite of the meat that comes to your mouth. Isn’t that stupid?
At most, at most, I can use other ways to make up for that young woman in the future.
For example, the young woman wanted to kiss herself last time. Then next time if she still wants to, teach her how to kiss.
As for the body, forget it.
We are not a casual person.
Putting the books and registered mail back in the mail bag, Zhang Xuan stood up and walked to the front of the classroom.
Seeing Zhang Xuan, a famous person, suddenly stand up, dozens of people in the entire classroom screamed, all focusing on him.
The huge classroom fell silent for an instant.
This is true for the students, and so is the teacher in front of me.
The middle-aged female teacher stopped writing and looked straight at Zhang Xuan, who was walking over.
"Teacher, I'm asking for leave. It's a bit urgent." Zhang Xuan whispered.
"Okay, you go ahead." Seeing that the celebrity from CUHK was so polite, the teacher was very impressed and agreed with a smile.
Leave the classroom and return to the rental house.
Without saying anything, he grabbed the phone on the coffee table and started dialing the number on the letter paper.
He was a little lucky now, feeling that he was very foresight. Otherwise, you would have to travel a long way to make an international long distance call, which would drive people crazy.
As luck would have it, the call didn't take long to get through.
"Dear YueSan?" A surprised voice came from the young woman's mouth.
Ouch! It’s so disgusting, so disgusting!
"Yeah, is me"
After a while of chirping, Zhang Xuan immediately explained his purpose, and then pretended to be polite.
When Luo Lin reconfirmed that 6% of the royalties would be given to herself, Zhang Xuan readily accepted it.
In his opinion, you can pretend to be polite once, but you don't dare to be polite twice.
Because many Westerners are straight-forward and have never experienced the Tai Chi pushing and pulling technique of flower growers. If Luo Lin thinks that Zhang Xuan really doesn't want it, she will cry to death.
Zhang Xuan told her that he would come to England immediately. But in order to save trouble and time, he would arrange for his sister Tao Ge to contact her first and even have full authority to handle the matter.
After Luo Lin agreed, Zhang Xuan immediately gave her Tao Ge's personal information and contact information.
This call took a long time.
There is no way, Zhang Xuan now is no longer the Zhang Xuan before, and he is also very patient with young women.
20 minutes later, Zhang Xuan called Tao Ge.
