This Star is a bit Salty

Two days later, Li Han had typed out 1,000 brain teasers on a computer and copied them into a USB flash drive.

Today is the day to meet and discuss with Xia Yang in detail.

At 9:30 in the morning, Li Han rode a motorcycle to a restaurant in the county seat and opened a private room.

The appointed time was 10 am, Li Han was waiting for Xia Yang in the private room.

Xia Yang said on the phone that he had arrived at the county seat and was now rushing to the tea house.

...

Xia Yang drove by himself, and he was looking forward to meeting Li Han soon.

In the past two days, he carefully analyzed the market prospects with some brain teasers. The more he analyzed, the more he felt that the market was bigger.

As long as it spreads, I am afraid that most parents will choose to buy it.

After all, no parent is reluctant to exercise their children to think outside the box.

Xia Yang couldn't wait.

...

10 minutes later, Li Han met Xia Yang, who was in his early 30s, young and capable.

Hello, Mr. Li Han!

Hello, Mr. Xia!

After the two exchanged a few words, Li Han handed the USB flash drive to Xia Yang and said, Mr. Xia, it's all inside.

Xia Yang took it and said, Okay, thank you! I'm very sorry, I'll take a look first.

Li Han said, Mr. Xia, please!

Xia Yang apologized again, then took out the laptop he brought, inserted the USB flash drive, and found Brain Teaser.

Click!

You don't need to look at each question carefully, you just need to browse it roughly.

The more Xia Yang looked, the more delighted he became, and the more he admired, Li Han was able to come up with so many strange, interesting and interesting questions and answers in just two days.

Some questions and answers are even stunning!

Li Han's mind is truly admirable.

It is no wonder that he is so young and has a good reputation in many fields.

After browsing through it, Xia Yang said excitedly: Mr. Li Han, there is no problem, there is no problem at all. Moreover, it is better than I imagined.

Li Han smiled and said, If that's the case, I'll be relieved.

Next, let's get down to business.

Xia Yang said: Mr. Li Han should know that when our publishing house publishes books, there are generally two types of remuneration for authors, buyout and royalty. I wonder which one Mr. Li Han prefers?

A buyout is a one-shot deal, usually a direct buyout for a thousand words.

After the buyout, the sales of the book have nothing to do with the author.

The royalty system is that after the book is published, the publisher will give the author a number of points of royalties based on the price of the book multiplied by the number of prints, that is, the code.

To put it in a well-understood way, it is divided.

Both approaches have their own advantages and disadvantages for authors and publishers.

For the author, there is no risk in buying out. Even after the book is published, one cannot be sold, and the loss will only be the publishing house.

But if the book sells well after it is published, it is far better than the previously estimated sales, and the author can only watch it. The money is made by the publisher.

In the case of royalties, the better the book sells after publication, the more money the author can get.

But if it doesn't sell well, the author won't get any money.

How to choose between the two methods? How much confidence does the author have in the sales of his work?

If you think the sales may not be very good,

Then choose to buy out.

If you think sales are going to be hot, opt for a royalty system.

Of course, it also depends on the publisher's intention, and which method they are willing to give you?

This requires detailed discussions on both sides.

Li Han doesn't know the situation of the buyout, and he doesn't know how much money is appropriate, so let's make a royalty system.

So he said: Royalty system. How many percentage points can Mr. Xia give?

Xia Yang nodded, he had already guessed that Li Han would choose the royalty system, and he had already thought about the percentage.

He said: Mr. Li Han, the percentage points given by our publishing house are generally between 3 points and 10 points. Most of them are between 3 points and 6 points. For Mr. Li Han's Brain Teaser , we are willing to give the highest 10 points. What do you think of Mr. Li Han?

Li Han nodded, he also knew something about this, and knew that generally only the top famous masters could get 10 points.

Now Xia Yang gives him 10 points directly, which is really sincere.

In this case, Li Han is also willing to be straightforward and make a deal.

Next, the two began to discuss the issue of typesetting and the issue of pictures.

These things should have been done by the editorial department, but Xia Yang wanted to hear Li Han's opinion.

Li Han is also willing to give his opinion.

Speaking of which, this can be regarded as his first book published in this world, and he attaches great importance to it.

After the discussion, it was almost noon, and the two went to a nearby hotel for dinner.

After dinner, the two said goodbye.

Li Han rode a motorcycle back home.

Just entered the yard and hadn't stopped yet. After my mother heard the sound of the motorcycle, she walked out of the house quickly and said, Wozi, come quickly, Mr. Gan is here.

Mr. Gan? Which Mr. Gan? Li Han asked subconsciously while leaning on his motorcycle.

You son of a bitch, Mr. Gan from your elementary school! Mom was a little dissatisfied,

Teacher Gan from the elementary school?

Li Han was surprised that it would be Teacher Gan from the primary school. He just didn't think about this at all, so he would ask such a question.

It is no wonder that my mother is a little dissatisfied, and this question should not be asked.

Mr. Gan is called Gan Huaqiong. He was Li Han's language teacher in elementary school, and he was also the head teacher. He taught Li Han for six years.

Li Han's class is the last class of Mr. Gan's.

When Li Han graduated, Mr. Gan was fifty-four years old. After Li Han graduated, Mr. Gan also retired.

After graduating from primary school, Li Han never saw Teacher Gan again, it had been nearly ten years.

Counting the time, Mr. Gan should be sixty-five years old this year.

I didn't expect that Teacher Gan would suddenly come to the house today, which surprised Li Han and felt very ashamed.

It should be him to visit the teacher, how can the teacher come to the house to find him?

Li Han's primary school was in Shuanglong Township Primary School, which was on Shuanglong Township Street.

Mr. Gan's home is in Meilin Village, Shuanglong Township, which is in the opposite direction from Yuanxi Village where Li Han is located, and is not too close.

Li Han has always respected Teacher Gan very much. Surprised and ashamed, he hurriedly ran into the house.

Before running a few steps, I saw a very familiar, but somewhat unfamiliar old man walking out of the house.

It is still the familiar face in memory, but it is much older.

Mr. Gan is already old, and his temples have white hair. Fortunately, judging from the way he walked, his body was still very healthy, which made that Li Han's heart not so sad.

Li Han ran up even faster, held the teacher's hand with both hands, and shouted a little excitedly, Mr. Gan!
