Another World Under My Pen

Chapter 146: Duties and obligations

Even Lao Cheng was as strong as Sun Qicheng, but he was stunned after hearing what his daughter said.

"How much? How much did you just say?"

Compared to the stunned Sun Qicheng, his wife Chen Yan's reaction was quicker, but she still had an expression of "Is there something wrong with my ears?" she stared and asked.

"...More than ten million!"

Gudong swallowed and spit, Sun Jing licked her lips and said, "The price of the Legend of the Condor Heroes is low, which is about two hundred, and the royalties for twelve points are in the early seven million dollars; but the price of Xiaoao is two hundred. Six, and there is a bit more royalties, and the two add up to almost 17 million! But considering that there are taxes..."

When it comes to paying taxes, Sun Jing also feels painful.

At the beginning, the first printing of 60,000 copies of the sculptures, the royalties to Sun Peng should be more than 1.4 million, but in the end he got only one hundred and ten thousand, and the tax rate was nearly 30%! Now the royalties are more than 10 million, and the tax is at least several million. This is not the pain of the flesh, but the pain of the heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney...

"For tax payment, go to Xiaoya for help!"

University professors who have published many books are obviously clear about this. Sun Qicheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: “Now the country strongly supports the cultural industry. There should be many preferential policies. Xiaoya and their lawyers must know a lot, and let her help. Go down!"

"Oh my God, this is amazing!"

After listening to Chen Yan, she shook her head repeatedly and said with an incredible expression: "If you add Xiaopeng's online contribution fees and the previous royalties, wouldn't the total amount exceed 20 million? I remember a news story at the beginning of the year. There was a so-called writer. For the rich list, maybe 20 million are enough to make it, right?"

With a haha ​​smile, Sun Qicheng waved his hand and said happily: "That's not enough. After all, the accumulation of those old writers is still very powerful, especially since most of their works have been adapted into TV, movies and other works. The gap is even bigger. ..."

The huge ancient empire created a huge publishing market.

The scale of a country's publishing industry, or cultural and creative industry, is closely related to the country's economic development. Just like China on the earth, although the publishing industry is large in scale and the number of books published and other indicators are the world's largest, the market size is still no more than that of the United States, which has a population of only 300 million, and the per capita is several times worse! This is because the pricing of books and the value of derivatives are far apart.

More importantly, teaching aids and textbooks account for a large proportion of the Chinese publishing market. The less developed the economy, the lower the consumption of popular books. Coupled with the rampant piracy, the income of writers is natural. It's low.

But in this world, the situation is very different.

China has a population of 1.2 billion, which is two or three times larger than that of the United States, but its economy is much more developed than that of the earth, and its per capita is half that of the United States! People's income is high, and the figures for per capita purchases or per capita reading volume are much better. Especially in the current China publishing industry, with the support of various national favorable policies, with the help of the world's largest population and influence in Asia, the publishing market is twice that of the United States!

Under such circumstances, China's anti-piracy is naturally extremely strict!

In fact, this is also inevitable. If a country's economy and cultural industries are backward, the country's protection of cultural creativity and copyright will naturally be weak, and even piracy is encouraged overtly and secretly. China on the earth used to be like this. Germany, the United States, and RB were also representatives of this type of country. The Americans even vomited blood from British writers such as Dickens; but if the cultural industry is developed, such as the powerful United States, Countries such as RB have a different attitude towards piracy. In turn, they will desperately attack other countries where piracy is rampant because it affects their interests.

Although the Huaxia in this world is not top, it is not weak anymore.

Therefore, the country has a strict attitude toward piracy, but it has many favorable measures for the development of cultural and creative industries, which has given birth to many high-income writer groups.

In this world, in the world-wide list of richest writers, Huaxia often accounts for one-third of the top ten. There are hundreds of writers with annual sales of hundreds of thousands or even millions. Sun Peng’s physical books are indeed making a lot of money, and may be ranked among the writers on the earth, but in this world...

"But Xiaopeng has only written the book for more than a year, so this is already very powerful!"

After saying this, Sun Qicheng finally couldn't help but smile and said: "This kid...a year ago I gave him a card to pay the property tax. As a result, after a year, he can almost make more money. I bought an old house! Haha, this kid is really impressive!"

The old professor was obviously very happy about the success of his nephew.

Since the death of the second couple, Sun Qicheng has been most concerned about the only male in the Sun family, but Sun Peng in the past always disappointed people, both academically and personally. but now……

The old professor just wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times, sighing that there are successors in the old Sun's house.

Compared with the old man who is excited about the successor of the family, the old lady's focus is still somewhat different from that of Sun Qicheng. She blinked and asked suddenly: "Xiaojing, you are now Xiaopeng's agent, isn't that right? Say...you can get a large sum of this money?"

"Uh...it should be."

Stunned, Sun Jing replied in a daze.

From receiving the phone call from the editor to the shock of patronizing now, Sun Jing hasn't really thought about this issue. Now that my mother talked about this issue, she made a rough calculation in her heart, and suddenly became a little panic.

Xiaopeng's agent?

Of course she is, and she has been talking to the publishing house for Sun Peng during this period, isn't it the job of an agent?

But her job as a so-called broker is just to talk about things. The publisher was previously found by Xiaopeng, and the royalty, publication period, and settlement methods were all well established. All Sun Jing needs to do is spend time with others and rub the royalty points.

Is this kind of work really worth so much money? !

If according to the agreement with the younger brother, the extra money for this time alone would be more than 10 million, and Sun Jing could get 5% of it. This number instantly scared her again!

"Gudong!"

After swallowing hard and spitting, Sun Jing said with a trembling voice: "Dad, if I count this way, I can get at least five or six hundred thousand. This... this is too much! I only earn two or three hundred thousand a year at work. , I’ll just answer a few phone calls now... No, I’ll go to Xiaopeng later, I can’t get so much money!"

"..."

Chen Yan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a while, she shook her head and stopped speaking.

But after Sun Qicheng pondered slightly, he also shook his head and said: "You have this idea, but the specifics are to discuss with your brother. My personal opinion is that Xiaopeng's future is unlimited, so it must be necessary. If you have a broker, if you have the confidence to do the job well, then take the money steadily. If you don’t have the confidence, you can end it as soon as possible, understand?"

"This...I see!"

After gritting her teeth, Sun Jing nodded solemnly and said: "Then I will go to Xiaopeng early tomorrow morning, and also tell him the news that both books have been printed..."

"Huh? Xiaopeng doesn't know yet?"

Before his daughter finished speaking, Sun Qicheng's brows suddenly frowned.

Sun Jing was startled slightly, and nodded in confusion, "Uh...Yes, I made a call and Xiaopeng shut down, so I went home first..."

"Next time something like this, tell Xiaopeng first!"

The same is not waiting for her daughter to finish her words, Sun Qicheng interrupted her very rudely: "You are his agent now, you have to understand your responsibilities and obligations! He turned off, wouldn't you come to look for it? In addition, even if we are your parents, Xiaopeng is also our nephew, but for private matters such as income, if you don’t get Xiaopeng’s permission in the future, don’t just talk about it at home..."
