Chapter 102: Receive royalties



When I came to work on Monday, there were a lot of people gathered in front of Sanyuan's shop again. This time, many buyers came in groups to apply for returns, and cursed that Sanyuan's products were junk and would break after just a few uses.

Wu Li and two other sales assistants stood at the door and argued with the group of people.

But it was their product that had problems in the first place, and yet they were right.

Qin Man quickly called Manager Peng. After receiving the news, Manager Peng just told Qin Man to watch how she brought them down.

About half an hour later, a few reporters with old cameras came to the door of Sanyuan's shop, boasted and took a few photos, and then left immediately.

Qin Man knew that Manager Peng wanted them to be reported in the newspapers. By tomorrow morning, everyone would know that Sanyuan sold substandard products.

The next day, a new newspaper was published and there was a column with news about Sanyuan Electric selling counterfeit products, with pictures next to it. It was exactly what Qin Man expected.

The same situation happened to the electrical appliances of several other stores. People who wanted to return the goods and pay for the goods gathered at the door of the store every day to make trouble.

The store near Qin Man, where Wu Li worked, was the most seriously ill and has already closed.

A few days later, another big news broke out, saying that the boss of Sanyuan had absconded with the money, and many consumers were unable to receive after-sales service and refunds. Sanyuan's production factory had long been deserted, and all the machines inside were second-hand and did not meet the product inspection standards. The materials used were all unqualified, so the electrical appliances produced were just embroidered pillows that looked good but were not practical.

Those consumers are now complaining bitterly. They bought cheap goods out of greed, but now the boss has run away and they have nowhere to seek redress. Hundreds or even thousands of dollars have been wasted.

The police have intervened and started to arrest the fugitives. This result is gratifying to the people. At the same time, it also calls on the general public not to be greedy for small profits and to identify time-honored brands and legitimate manufacturers.

Manager Peng was very happy now. Seeing the constant flow of customers into the store, he felt that this battle was truly a great success.

So many people have been fooled by Sanyuan, and now she is taking the opportunity to launch benefits and conduct promotions, giving away small home appliances when selling refrigerators, and has recovered most of the lost customer traffic.

"After we catch them, the consumers will get compensation and our store will make a lot of money. Those who need electrical appliances will choose us again in the end. Everyone has worked hard this time. Tonight, you can organize a dinner party and report the amount you spent. The company will pay for it. Don't save money for the company!"

Manager Peng couldn't stop smiling. Qin Man and the others were also very happy. With the return of customers, they could earn more. Who would complain about having too much money?

Until the beginning of July, the store's business was very good and the company provided a wave of benefits. Every employee was rewarded with an electric fan. With the electric fan, we could sleep much better at night during the hot summer.

In July, the school's final exams were over and summer vacation began. Jiang Cong was completely free and could concentrate on his creation. In the past six months, he has only written 80,000 words for the second volume, and it is expected that the second volume will be completed by the end of the year.

On the fourth day of July, which was a Saturday, Jiang Cong received a call from the publishing house, asking him to come to the publishing house to collect his first royalties.

Jiang Cong picked a time and went there in the afternoon. In Editor-in-Chief Lin's office, he poured Jiang Cong a cup of the best hot Tieguanyin tea.

"Teacher Jiang, have some tea, the best Tieguanyin!"

It can be seen that Editor-in-Chief Lin looks very happy.

"Hmm, the tea has a strong aroma, it is indeed a good tea!" Jiang Cong lifted the teacup and took a light sniff.

"Haha, if you like it, I'll give you a can. I have plenty!" Editor-in-Chief Lin said generously.

"Then I won't be polite!"

The two chatted for a while, and then Editor-in-Chief Lin went to the safe and took out a brown paper bag filled with money.

"Teacher Jiang, this is the first payment for my manuscript. Count it. It's 886 yuan in total. You can collect it every month from now on!"

Jiang Cong took it but did not open it to count. He believed in the character of Editor-in-Chief Lin.

"I want to know how the books are selling."

"Five thousand copies have been issued and put on the shelves in three cities. In more than a month, the sales volume is 1,500 copies. The results are not bad. In less than two months, we plan to print another 3,000 copies and strive to distribute them in two more cities. We are waiting for your second volume to come out next year. The response will definitely be even better!"

Selling 1,500 copies a month is a very impressive achievement. Everyone makes money and it is a win-win situation.

This is only Jiang Cong's first work, and he has not yet become famous. When he writes a few more works in the future, if he has the opportunity to cooperate with the People's Publishing House, his works will be distributed nationwide.

Editor-in-Chief Lin's publishing house only has a place in the province, but it is still far behind the People's Publishing House.

"I will work hard. I'm already writing the second volume and plan to submit it after the Chinese New Year!"

"I have high hopes for you. When you finish your work, we will contact publishers in other provinces to give you the opportunity to publish your work in other provinces!"
