When it comes to royalties, everyone is silent again.

Don’t say anything record-breaking.

As long as the sales of this set of books can exceed 20 million copies, they will make a lot of money. An extra 10 million is not a big deal.

But if it’s royalties, it’s hard to say.

The remuneration is a one-time payment, there will be no next time after this time.

Royalties are continuous and are something that will flow over time. You will receive a commission from the price of the first and subsequent editions.

According to their calculations, the Enron book should have sold about 20 million copies of the first volume.

Besides, there are six more movies to follow, with a combined sales volume of more than 100 million.

If you increase the royalty rate by 1%, you will have to pay tens of millions more.

If the sales are good, there will be a second edition in the future, a third edition...

An Ran saw that everyone remained silent and said: "My ideal price is 20% of the royalties."

"Oh my god..."

Chavez, Rowling, and Garcia exclaimed together, with very horrifying expressions on their faces.

Although it was somewhat artificial, I was really frightened by An Ran's appetite.

"Mr. Enron, do you know how exaggerated this price is? For a $10 book, you have to take away two dollars! And we have to publish, print, etc., and we have almost no profit..."

"Yes, Teacher An Ran, your request is a bit too much."

"Teacher An Ran, if you can give me a little more, I think we can discuss it, but this number is really too much!"

People from the three major publishing houses shook their heads.

Those people from the small publishing houses below almost laughed out loud. Enron is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Which side is heavier and which side is lighter? People know it very well, and I immediately made several people shake their heads.

An Ran waved his hands and said: "Everyone, everyone knows very well that even if it is 20% royalties, you will still make a lot of money. The quality of my book is very good, otherwise everyone would not be sitting here."

"But that's not the reason for your big mouth!" Chavez said: "You know, we all come here with sincerity."

An Ran smiled and said: "I am also very sincere, otherwise I would not sit here and talk with you at all. You know, if you want to publish it, I am fully capable of publishing it myself."

This is what I said...

It’s really like that.

But few people in Xizhou have ever received the 20% royalties.

Kerry has won it a few times, but not many times.

The other is Avina more than 30 years ago, when a book "Dragon Spear" came out, creating a fantasy world. The combined sales of the four novels exceeded 100 million, becoming a phenomenon-level novel in Xizhou.

This series of her books only got 10% from the first volume!

It has been 20% since then!

This is an enduring novel, and many people still buy it and read it.

Every time you publish, the royalties are 20%!

Avina also relied on this novel to embark on the road to wealth.

But after all, she is the only one.

Moreover, when this book came out, it set a record of staying at the top of the best-selling list for twenty-eight consecutive weeks.

That’s why we can offer her this price.

After her, almost no one except Kerry can achieve this royalty rate.

Kerry only has a limited number of times.

An Ran said: "Everyone, what I got from Xiazhou's "Fortress Besieged" was 20% of the royalties!"

"That's Xiazhou!" Chavez said: "Now this is in Xizhou, and your current "Harry Potter" has been serialized in newspapers for so long, and I think you will definitely continue to serialize it, then

This has diverted some readers! We don’t question the sales volume, but after all, it is not just a channel!”

An Ran nodded, "That makes sense, let's do it this way! Mr. Chavez, let me make an idea and you can decide whether it's appropriate or not."

Chavez and others exchanged glances, then nodded.

An Ran said: "If the sales volume is less than 100 million copies, I will only charge 10 million in remuneration and 10% of the royalties! If the sales volume is more than 100 million copies, I will receive 20% of the royalties and 10 million in remuneration."

"One hundred million..."

Several people frowned at the same time. If there were seven books in total, each book would be considered one volume.

One volume has 20 million copies, which is firmly over 100 million copies.

"This number is too low, Mr. Enron!"

Several of them shook their heads.

An Ran said: "I forgot to mention, it's the sales volume of a single volume... If a volume does not exceed 100 million copies, I will only collect 10% of the royalties!"

"Clang!" With a sound, Garcia, who had always been calm, dropped the coffee he picked up on the table.

"Sorry!"

He hurriedly cleaned up.

Fei Liwen smiled and went out to call someone.

The others did not laugh at him, but looked at An Ran in surprise.

No one believed that Enron was so confident.

100 million sales per unit?

Damn it, it seems that there is no such precedent in the entire Xizhou.

Although the sales volume of the "Dragonlance" series is high, it has not reached the level of over 100 million.

If a single one is 100 million, the sales volume of the seven will be at least 700 million.

When several people got this number, they all gasped.

An Ran said: "Everyone must be surprised. What I want to say is that this is not global sales. I will do the publishing of Xiazhou myself, and you will do the publishing in other regions."

"..."

How much confidence do you have to have such a condition?

Xiazhou has a large population and a huge market.

Although the market there has been severely impacted by e-books, it shouldn't be a problem to sell tens of millions of copies.

You still have to take this share out of it.

Only sold in Xizhou Cultural Circle.

100 million for a single volume, easier said than done.

After a while, Chavez said: "Teacher An Ran, this joke is not funny at all."

What a joke.

Xizhou has a population of nearly 700 million, and Ouzhou has a population of about 1.4 billion. These two places are the main sales places.

So three people have to buy one?

An Ran said, only Xiazhou Market.

Then they are counting places like Hanzhou, Fuzhou, and Dayangzhou...

Altogether, there are more than a billion people.

That's not even close.

Five people need to buy one!

Can it reach this level?

An Ran said: "Of course, I'm not talking about buying so much at once, let's buy it for three years!"

"Within three years, each copy will be worth 100 million."

Even if it takes three years, I can't do it.

Is this too confident or too arrogant?

Enron’s data has been calculated.

This set of books on Earth is actually eight volumes, and the last part is divided into two volumes.

The total sales volume is 550 million, spanning almost eight years.

This is a very scary number.

The population on Earth is not as large as Blue Star.

Moreover, the impact of e-books on physical books on earth is greater than that of Blue Star, and they can all have this sales volume.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that within three years of Blue Star’s eight books, eight books were sold for 700 million.

Judging from the current popularity, there is basically no problem.

He said "single volume", not "single volume"!

"Mr. An Ran, I advise you to think about it carefully. There is no such record in the entire history of Blue Star for sales of 100 million units!"
Chapter completed!
