Chapter 97: Reprint, Amazing Profits
Lu Weiguo didn't know that his appearance had brought a lot of scolding to men.
He returned home and handed the letter to Shi Tingyu.
Shi Tingyu saw that the sender was a publishing house, and roughly knew what it was about.
She opened the letter and saw that it was indeed about the reprint of "The Loyal Dog".
It's just that the number of copies of this reprint is a bit scary.
The number of copies of this reprint doubled directly, from the original 100,000 copies to 200,000 copies.
When the contract was signed, the royalties for the reprint were two points higher than the royalties for the first print, that is, 12%. This time she can get 12,000 yuan in royalties.
At the same time, the letter urged Shi Tingyu to write the second volume of the story.
I hope she can continue to submit to their publishing house, and the royalties can be negotiated.
After reading the letter from the publisher, Shi Tingyu took a deep breath. She looked at Lu Weiguo and said, "The Loyal Dog is going to be reprinted. This time, you can get 12,000 yuan."
Lu Weiguo was also surprised, "So much?"
Shi Tingyu said, "The number of copies of this reprint has doubled."
She could have gotten 5,000 yuan originally, but this time she got 12,000 yuan.
Seeing that his wife was still a little confused, Lu Weiguo comforted her, "It's okay, this is what you deserve. If you sell paintings alone, the value is much higher than this. Don't feel burdened."
Shi Tingyu was not being hypocritical, but she felt that the money was a bit too eye-catching.
Especially in this era.
Nowadays, there are few households with an income of 10,000 yuan. She made a lot of money by reprinting once.
This matter must not be leaked.
But she thought of some reports she had seen in her previous life. From the founding of New China to before the Great Revolution, the royalties were very high.
At that time, the Shanghai translator Qian Chunqi received a royalty of 8,000 yuan for translating a book of poetry. At that time, the wages of workers were not as high as they are now. It was really like a courtyard house for a book.
Thinking of this, she calmed down again.
It's okay, as long as the neighbors don't know about it.
The next day, Shi Tingyu went to the post office and called the publishing house back, telling them that she had no opinion on the number of reprints and royalties.
After paying the money over the phone, she sent the sample book sent by the publishing house last time to Lu's father and mother. She said that she had lost the book and it would not be good if it was left here all the time and it was exposed one day.
This time, she also sent the second story of "The Loyal Dog" that she had drawn to the publishing house.
If there is no problem with the second story, then there will be another income.
This time, Shi Tingyu replenished some painting materials for herself. The paints at home were almost used up, and she needed more drawing paper.
This time, Shi Tingyu simply bought more at one time.
Put half of them in the space and put the rest in the open.
At this time, the National Day has passed and the weather is getting colder.
Thinking that winter will come soon, she will have to buy some clothes and send them to her parents.
When they were sent down to the countryside, they could not bring much things. Some thicker clothes were bought by Lu's father and mother after they were settled.
It was new when it was first bought, but when it was delivered to the cowshed, it had been patched up by Lu's mother using old clothes.
Seeing the good clothes turned into "junk" in an instant, Lu's mother felt heartbroken. She
couldn't just buy clothes for her parents, she had to take care of the elders in both families. There were too many things, so she planned to wait for Lu Weiguo to have a day off so they could go shopping together.
After all, she didn't know the sizes of Lu's father and mother yet.
When she went back, Shi Tingyu brought back some painting materials and fruits.
She had slowly planted a lot of fruits in her space, and now they were all edible, so it was a good opportunity to take out more this time.
There were also chestnuts. The wild chestnuts were ripe, so she took some out as well.
This time when she returned to the family compound, people who saw her would always greet her from time to time.
Shi Tingyu also responded one by one.
Seeing the things in her hands, people were envious and jealous, but they didn't talk about it like they did when they just got married.
When she just got married, people would talk about her behind her back and say that she was a spendthrift if she bought some meat. Now everyone knows that she makes money by publishing books, so it's not easy for them to say anything about this little food. In
a word, those who can make money are tough.
When Lu Weiguo returned home, he smelled the sweet smell of roasted chestnuts, and when he entered the main room, he also smelled a faint fruity fragrance.
He looked at Shi Tingyu who was cooking in the kitchen and asked, "Wife, did you buy chestnuts?"
Shi Tingyu said, "Yes, they are still being baked in the bakery."
Lu Weiguo went to the bakery to take a look, then went back to the house and saw several bags of fruit on the table.
He actually saw big, red and juicy strawberries.
This is a rare thing.
He thought to himself that his wife is so lucky.
After changing his shoes, Lu Weiguo carried the strawberries to the well and washed them out.
This thing can't be left, it has to be eaten first.
After washing, the strawberries became more tender and juicy. He brought a plate of strawberries into the kitchen and stuffed one into Shi Tingyu's mouth.
The strawberries are produced by Space, with high sweetness and rich taste. After taking a bite, people feel a lot more energetic.
Shi Tingyu swallowed the strawberry, and Lu Weiguo passed her another one.
Shi Tingyu said, "You eat it too."
Lu Weiguo didn't say anything, but just pushed the strawberry into her mouth vigorously.
In the end, Shi Tingyu ate it.
Seeing that Lu Weiguo only fed her and didn't touch any of them, Shi Tingyu reached out and took one and stuffed it into his mouth.
The sweetness of the strawberry entered his mouth, and Lu Weiguo felt that all the fruits he had eaten before were wasted, the taste was too good.
But Shi Tingyu fed him again, but he refused to eat, "This strawberry is rare, and I don't know when I can meet it next time. These are all for you to eat."
Shi Tingyu felt a little uncomfortable. She said, "These are bought to eat, and there are so many. I can't finish them all at once. It will be bad if I eat more. If I want to eat more, I can buy more next time. I can always buy more if I want to."
Lu Weiguo saw that she was a little anxious, and there was a little tenderness in his narrow eyes. He leaned towards her and
said, "Then you feed me." Shi Tingyu was speechless by his brilliant move. She picked the biggest one and stuffed it into his mouth.
Then she said, "Okay, I have to cook. Don't make trouble here."
Lu Weiguo ate the strawberries and stole a kiss before leaving.
After dinner, the two of them ate all the remaining strawberries.
The roasted chestnuts have not been touched since they were prepared. Even after dinner, Shi Tingyu wanted to taste them.
Lu Weiguo peeled the chestnuts for her.
Chestnuts are difficult to peel, but when someone peeled them for her, Shi Tingyu ate them with relish.
Finally, she felt guilty and put the chestnut kernel that Lu Weiguo had put in front of her into his mouth.
Lu Weiguo chewed it and praised, "My wife feeds me well. The chestnuts I eat on weekdays don't taste like this."
Shi Tingyu felt a little guilty and thought to herself, is there a possibility that her chestnuts are not ordinary chestnuts?
Seeing Lu Weiguo enjoying the meal, Shi Tingyu also peeled some himself, and then put some into his mouth, saying, "If you like it, take some to the camp, and you can eat some during your rest time."
Lu Weiguo smiled and said, "I'll just eat it at home."
He dared to say that when he brought it to the camp, it was sold out in seconds.
