The three books were published by three publishing houses respectively.
Competition is fierce among publishers, just like among novel websites. In previous years, when the Elite List was not doing well, no one paid much attention to it, and some even looked down on it.
But this year, as the popularity of "Elite List" increased and the number of readers increased,
Especially when Liunian Novel Network vaguely revealed that the number one writer was Jiu Ye, several leading publishing houses put aside their airs and began to compete for the publishing rights of the number one novel.
The publishing house that won the first place in the novel "Xian" is the Youth Publishing House, which has always been ranked first among the publishing houses in Province X. The reason why it can always sit firmly in the leading position is, of course, that it has monopolized the publishing business of primary and junior high school textbooks.
This time, the novel "Xian" was given enough face. The publicity has never been interrupted, and the first batch of printing has reached one million copies.
The reason for doing this, of course, is that the publishing house learned who the real author of the novel "Xian" was.
Jiu Ye, he is a great writer who has published several novels, and each of them has sold over a million copies.
Previously, they thought that the novel called "Xian" on the "Elite List" seemed to be well written, but even so, Youth Publishing House did not take this book seriously.
After all, the books that can be published by their publishing house are all written by well-known writers, and the books by these newcomers are not qualified enough.
But if the author of "Xian" is Jiu Ye, then it would be a different story.
This is something that can make a lot of money as long as it is published. How can they let it go?
Of course not.
Youth Publishing House had of course also seen the online buzz surrounding the novel "Grave Robbers' Chronicles," and since the top-ranked author was Jiu Ye, then this...
There are some speculations but no one has confirmed it.
Both sides are really keeping it a secret.
Even if, even if this author is really the landlady, so what? It's still just third place.
Although Landlord is now somewhat famous in the online literature circle, she does not have a published novel. It is still unknown whether she has appeal and whether readers are willing to buy her works.
Especially since this book only managed to get the third place thanks to the help of the author of "Ghost Lighting the Lamp".
What does this prove? It proves that this book cannot be compared with the first-place "Xian".
These publishing houses are all smart people. They won’t give up the first place and choose the least conspicuous third place just because of such a small amount of popularity.
The second place, "Ye Gucheng", was taken by Chongde Publishing House, which also printed 700,000 copies this time.
The author of "Ye Gucheng" and Zhou Hui, who was squeezed out by Ningxia and only took fourth place, are from the same website. Their fame and income are not much different.
Like Ningxia, this person does not have a published novel.
In fact, it was a bit surprising that Chongde Publishing House was able to sign the second-place Ye Gucheng. After all, in front of the industry leaders Youth Publishing House and Bolan Book Publishing House,
Chongde Publishing House has no competitiveness at all.
First place? With Youth Publishing House, they couldn't even dream of it, and even second place was just a passing chance.
At that time, I thought it would be good enough to sign the third place, but who knew they got a bargain.
The fact that the author of "Ghost Lights the Lamp" is the landlady is not because of the lack of information of the Bolan Book Publishing House, but because of the lack of information.
Everyone knew the relationship between Zhao Yang and Yao Yuncai, and they all thought, if it really was that person disguised as someone else, how could Zhao Yang not know about it.
One of you thought you knew, but the other was completely unaware, and this led to an awkward situation where they only found out the other night.
Come to think of it, this matter was indeed because Zhao Yang's aunt and nephew did not communicate well, otherwise Zhao Yang would not have worried about being criticized.
When the editor-in-chief of Bolan Book Publishing House learned that the author of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" was the founder of tomb-robbing novels, the landlady, he was indeed a little excited. However, having lived to such an old age, he certainly felt that this matter was not simple, so he immediately called Yao Yuncai.
"I guarantee you that the publication of 'Grave Robbers' Chronicles' will definitely exceed one million copies."
"You should have seen the stickiness of the readers of Landlady,"
"Others fight with one book alone, but the landlady fights with a group. One book has a lot of readers, but what about the readers of two books combined..."
"Think about it, if this book becomes really popular, you will make a lot of money with this percentage."
"You will get as much of the share of "Xian" as you like."
Ningxia was unwilling to reveal her identity as a landlady, and the profit-sharing contract she signed was only 8%, which was slightly better than that of a newcomer.
This tempting passage really touched Old Joe's heart.
What Yao Yuncai said is indeed correct. Although "Xian" has a greater chance of selling well, when it comes to profit sharing, "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is indeed more profitable.
One is 8% and the other is 12%, which one should I choose?
In fact, when Lao Qiao learned that Zhao Yang did not get the first place publishing rights, he was a little upset. He was really persuaded at this time.
"Then can we ask the landlady to help promote it?
Yao Yuncai had this plan a long time ago and believed that Ningxia would not refuse. Every extra copy sold would mean more money.
Seeing how confident Yao Yuncai was, Old Qiao was indeed a little tempted, but there was also an element of gambling involved. He was betting that Yao Yuncai would not cheat his nephew.
Old Joe made a prompt decision and arranged for the factory to work overtime all night to start printing.
But even though he knew that the author of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" was the landlady, Lao Qiao only planned to print 500,000 copies to make up a million copies.
At the time, I thought it was enough.
Who knew that before even a day had passed, sales would be completely out of control.
Only 500,000 copies of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" were printed in total, and Yuebing Bookstore alone ordered 100,000 copies.
