Chapter 252: Hot Sales
This time, Zhao Yanshu signed a royalty agreement for his book directly with the publishing house, which was still 10%. The publishing house probably knew his fame and agreed without hesitation.
Zhao Yanshu also donated half of his income, but because books in the country were really cheap, the royalties for selling 10,000 books were only 3,200 yuan, and half of that was 1,600 yuan. The country probably didn't think much of this amount of money, so Professor Li suggested that he donate it to Peking University.
Although college students now receive subsidies for their studies, many of them still come from very poor families and they usually live frugally and send all the subsidies back home.
So Zhao Yanshu donated half of his royalties to the school to support poor students.
Of course the school was willing to do so and even wanted to hold a commendation meeting for him, but Zhao Yanshu refused and the school did not publicize it. After all, he himself did not want any fame.
However, these students who received the subsidies knew where the money came from, and gradually the news spread. As a result, students in the school who had a bad impression of Zhao Yanshu because of previous incidents gradually changed their impression of him.
But that’s all in the past.
Zhao Yanshu told Lin Yuzhu about the donation. Since she had income from abroad, she no longer cared about this little money, so she agreed directly.
As for book sales, because of the previous popularity, sales were unprecedentedly good. The publisher reprinted the book several times before it finally coped with the urging of major bookstores.
The book has been on sale for a few days now, and it is estimated that the first batch of readers have almost finished reading it. Lin Yuzhu has been a little nervous these two days, wondering what everyone will think after reading it.
Just as the previous rush to buy books had happened, the bookstore was no longer as crowded as before, so my colleagues and I made an appointment to go together and buy the books.
Even Sun Yulian secretly bought a book during lunch break. After coming back, she complained with a distressed look on her face that the book was too expensive. She also came over to Lin Yuzhu and said in a high-sounding manner that she just wanted to support her, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive, and she wanted her to reimburse her in some way.
Lin Yuzhu rolled her eyes, pretending not to hear, and didn't bother to pay attention to her.
Sun Yulian was so angry that she had no choice but to open the book and read it when she returned. She wanted to see what the book was about.
It happened that there was not much work at the office in the afternoon, so many people who had bought books started reading them.
Lin Yuzhu was also observing secretly, wondering what these people would think after seeing it.
The office was very quiet, with only the sound of flipping pages. Lin Yuzhu felt a little nervous. After a long while, seeing that no one spoke, she felt too embarrassed to ask directly.
Slowly, soft sobbing sounds were heard.
It was like a switch turned on, and the sobbing sounds gradually became more and more frequent, until in the end a young man even started crying with tears and snot!
Lin Yuzhu was a little scared. What was going on? She knew that the content of the book was tragic and depressing, but it shouldn't be enough to make her cry like this, right?
Did she cry so miserably after watching it?
However, even though everyone was crying, their hands never stopped turning the pages of the book. Seeing how serious they were, Lin Yuzhu didn't feel comfortable asking.
It was almost time to get off work, and she saw that most of her colleagues had put down their books, probably because they had finished reading. She finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was such a tearful person. Fortunately, not many people came to the office in the afternoon. If someone had seen this, they would have thought something had happened.
Lin Yuzhu wanted to wait for them to calm down before asking everyone what they thought after watching it.
Before she could even open her mouth, her colleagues asked her first...
