Chapter 834： I can only talk about cooperation later

After Jared, Muller of Boguo De Hezi Publishing House, as well as the persons in charge of several other publishing houses, also said that if Li Fan’s fantasy literature works have a certain distribution value, they are also willing to provide free Published by Li Fan and distributed in their country.

And their underlying meaning is that if Li Fan's fantasy literary works have no distribution value, if Li Fan wants to publish it, he can only publish it at his own expense.

Of course, this is indeed a fact. If the author's book quality is not good enough and he wants to publish it, he can only pay for it out of his own pocket and ask the publisher to publish it.

However, the facts belong to the facts. Now that the major publishing houses are so direct and the slight irony in their words, everyone present can also understand it.

For a while, they all turned their heads to look at Li Fan, wanting to see embarrassment, shame, or irritation on Li Fan's face.

However, none of these were seen on Li Fan's face.

What I saw was that Li Fan still smiled faintly, and said: "I haven't finished what I just said. I don't want copyright fees, but it doesn't mean I don't want money. There is another kind among our country, publishers and authors. The way of cooperation is that the author does not need copyright fees, but uses the method of sharing. I don’t know if Mr. Muller, Mr. Gerald, and the other publishers in charge have such a way of cooperation?"

The person in charge of each publishing house was taken aback, and then Jerry had to say: “Of course there is this kind of cooperation, but the average author would not choose this way. Because they don’t know how their books are selling at a time? The safest way is to get the copyright fee that you are satisfied with."

Li Fandao: "As long as I have it, I plan to cooperate with publishing houses in this way for my work. As for how much I divide, I will divide it a little bit less on this special day today, just 10 percentage points. "

"Many, how much?" All the people on the scene were taken aback, thinking they had misheard.

Apart from the authors and people in the publishing industry, the rest of the staff at the scene basically understand the publishing industry.

The publisher's share of the author is based on the price.

For example, if a book is priced at 30 yuan, if the author divides it by 10 percentage points, it will be 3 yuan.

In other words, the publisher pays 3 yuan to the author for every book printed.

However, the cost of publishing physical books by publishers is actually very high. In addition to the author's remuneration or copyright fees, there are many other costs.

For example, printing fees, paper fees, transportation fees, storage fees, the discount difference between Mayang and Shiyang, plus a certain damage rate, and so on.

Calculated by seven or eight, a book priced at 30 yuan, the net profit the publisher will eventually get is usually five or six yuan, six or seven yuan, not more than 10 fast.

This ten percent share is quite high.

Of course, everyone knows that Li Fan is not maliciously asking prices.

If it is a super bestseller, let alone 10 percentage points, it is 11, 12, or even higher, the publisher is willing to give it.

But the key is that Li Fan's fantasy literary works dare to ask for such a price, and everyone has to doubt their ears.

From the publisher's point of view, it is too naive to dare to ask for a 10% share for a book that requires the author to publish it out of his own pocket.

Jerry said without a smile: "Mr. Li Fan is joking, this is absolutely impossible."

After Jerry got it, Muller and other publishers also expressed that it was impossible, and they were fools.

Jim, Anderin, Gesen and others also sneered in their hearts. In their opinion, this must be what Li Fan said deliberately, in order to resolve the previous embarrassing situation.

Li Fan nodded and said: "I can understand your concerns, but this is really a shame. Now it seems that my entries can only be published in China for the time being. Fortunately, the rules of the competition this time, It doesn't look at sales, otherwise, I will be eliminated now."

Jim laughed and said: "Mr. Li Fan is too modest. After Mr. Li Fan's work is created, if Jeride and Muler think it's okay, they can still publish it abroad."

Li Fan nodded and said, "Then thank Mr. Jim for his auspicious words."

Jim said again: "Where, where, I believe that Mr. Li Fan has this strength."

Regarding the copyright issue, it came to an end. Jim, Anderin, Gerson and others were in a very good mood.

Everything is as they expected. Li Fan's entries can't even be sold in other countries. After this news is known to netizens in China, it will be very lively again.

So far, this children's literature exchange summit is really coming to an end.

Yu Qiu, the president of the Chinese Writers Association, and Larouf, the president of the Lanzhou Writers Association, respectively made final concluding remarks.

After that, the exchange summit finally ended successfully.

All the writers are very satisfied with this trip to China.

…

After the summit, the representative of the publishing industry in China, Han Feng, the head of Qiuyu Publishing House, approached Li Fan and expressed his willingness to buy the publishing copyright of Li Fan's entries in China.

Li Fan said that there is no problem naturally, and it is still based on the share, which is 8%.

8% is indeed the low price given by Li Fan.

You know, the work he is going to take out has created a sales myth in the past life and is one of the best-selling works in the world.

Even the 10 percentage points given to Jared, Love and others before, are also not considered high prices.

It's just a pity that no one wants to believe him.

Of course, Li Fan can also understand, but he really feels a bit regretful.

And Han Feng didn’t seem to believe in Li Fan either. He frowned slightly and said, “Mr. Li Fan, with your current fame, we believe that many people will buy your works. But my country’s fantasy literature The market is still uncertain. This is also a fact. Moreover, it is the first time that Mr. Li Fan has tried to create fantasy literature. There are too many uncertain factors. Is 8 percentage points too high?"

Li Fan nodded and said: "I understand Mr. Han's concerns very well, but this price is indeed my bottom line price."

Han Feng furrowed his brows even more, thinking about it, and said, "If this is the case, then we can only talk to Mr. Li Fan another day about cooperation."

Li Fan smiled and said: "I know that Mr. Han wants to wait for the market for fantasy literature in our country to become clearer, and after seeing my works, we can discuss cooperation. Of course, there is no problem, but, Mr. Han, if anyone Get ahead of you and reach a cooperation agreement with me, then I can only say sorry."

Han Feng also smiled and said: "It's okay, if there are other publishing houses willing to cooperate with Mr. Li Fan, Mr. Li Fan just agrees."

Li Fan nodded, and after the two said a few more words, they said goodbye to each other.

Another person in charge of Qiuyu Publishing House, Huang Zhaoyang, seeing Han Feng come back, asked: "Old Han, how is it?"

Han Feng shook his head, sneered, and told Huang Zhaoyang of the situation.

After hearing this, Huang Zhaoyang sneered and said: "We saw him being rejected by so many foreign publishing houses and losing face, so that he was kind enough to buy his copyright. He was so ignorant of praise. He really thought he was creating fantasy literature. Works, will it be very marketable?"

Han Feng smiled and said: "It is estimated that he has been on the altar for a long time, thinking that no matter what book he writes, he will be very popular."

Huang Zhaoyang shook his head and said: "Forget it, let him go. Let's talk to Mr. Jim, his entries, the copyright issues published in our country, it is not convenient for us to discuss at the venue just now. , It doesn’t matter in private now."

Han Feng nodded, and then the two went to Jim together to discuss related copyright matters.
