Chapter 627: Just to Make Money
Tang Su remembered that Xue Yao was unwilling to share his notes with others. She remembered that Mu Jingchen had asked him to borrow his notes before, but he refused. The classmates in their class also said that it was difficult to borrow Xue Yao's notes.
Was he planning to publish his notes as a book?
After evening self-study, Tang Su returned to the dormitory.
After washing up, she sat on the bed with her mobile phone, then opened WeChat and found a familiar account.
She hadn't contacted Xue Yao for a long time. The chat records showed that the last time they chatted was during the epidemic. Half a year had passed.
"Xue Yao...are you there?" Tang Su hesitated for a moment and sent a message.
In fact, she doesn't like to contact others actively, but Xue Yao doesn't seem to be able to contact her actively either.
"exist."
After a while, Tang Su received a message from the other party, but it only contained one word.
"Our class teacher handed down a set of materials today, which is your complete set of notes." Tang Su told the other party what happened today. He wanted to see how Xue Yao would react.
"Well, has everyone bought it?" Xue Yao asked.
Tang Su immediately replied: "Our class has bought it, I don't know about other classes."
Tang Su thought Xue Yao would be surprised, but from his answer, he seemed very calm.
"By the way, Senior Brother, why do you want to publish your notes as a book?" Tang Su asked. Because in her impression, Xue Yao didn't like to share these notes.
After a few seconds, Xue Yao replied.
"For money," was his brief answer.
Tang Su looked at these three words with his eyes wide open.
"Money? Don't you have a 1 million bonus?" Tang Su didn't think Xue Yao would be short of money. Besides, she remembered Xue Yao said that becoming the top scholar would get a 1 million bonus.
"Well, publishing is just for making money." Xue Yao replied again.
Tang Su felt a little dizzy. She felt as if Xue Yao was saying that he was short of money, but Xue Yao's family was obviously well off.
"How much did the publisher pay for the copyright of your notes?" Tang Su asked curiously.
She thought it could be sold for tens of millions or even millions, otherwise Xue Yao would not have sold it.
Tang Su soon saw Xue Yao's reply: "The royalties are 13 points, calculated based on the book's price. The first edition is 500,000 copies."
Tang Su was confused, and some Arabic numerals quickly emerged in her mind. The royalty was 13 points, and the price was 322 yuan per set. Xue Yao could get a royalty of 41.86 yuan for each set he sold. For 500,000 sets, Xue Yao could get 20.93 million yuan in royalties just for the first edition.
Oh my god, this is so... profitable.
Tang Su looked at the ceiling in disbelief.
Only at this moment did she realize that Xue Yao was really amazing.
I don’t know how he did it.
"You're rich, Xue Yao." Tang Su gave him a few thumbs up.
She was full of admiration.
Moreover, if Xue Yao's set of notes sells well and is reprinted later, he can continue to receive royalties.
At this time, Tang Su even suspected that the reason why Xue Yao gave up the recommendation to take the college entrance examination was not for the 1 million bonus from Changde Middle School, but because the title of top scholar would allow him to successfully publish this set of notes and sell them well.
Xue Yao then replied: "The money will be useful later."
Tang Su took a deep breath. She felt that she really lacked a certain financial acumen. Look at Xue Yao, everything was planned out, and now he was only 18 years old, but he already had a net worth of tens of millions.
