"Xiaofeng, why don't you go?" Huang Qiang asked when he saw that Chen Xiaofeng hadn't moved.

"Editor-in-chief, Ye Xuan said that he can sign a contract with us." Chen Xiaofeng said.

"Sign the contract, isn't the contract already signed?"

"What contract does he want to sign?" Huang Qiang looked at Chen Xiaofeng in confusion.

"He said that "Douluo: Wuhun Continent" will be printed starting at 5 million copies, priced at 100 yuan a copy, and if the sales performance is not satisfactory, he will pay for the rest of the stock himself."

"That's why he is willing to sign such a contract with us. He said that in this way our Jiangcheng People's Publishing House will not have any losses." Chen Xiaofeng said Ye Xuan's words.

"Kangdang"

Huang Qiang was so shocked that he stepped back and knocked the chair to the ground. The shock in his heart was like a bomb exploding directly, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

It took a long time for Huang Qiang to recover from the shock. He said, "This, Ye Xuan is crazy. Does he know how much it will cost?"

"Why does he dare to be so sure that "Douluo: Wuhun Dalu" can sell so much?"

Chen Xiaofeng smiled wryly, and said: "Editor-in-chief, I don't know about this, anyway, he told me so, let me tell you the same."

"Chief editor, what do you think?"

The expression on Huang Qiang's face gradually became serious. He was weighing the pros and cons. This incident shocked him so much that he had to be cautious.

Why is Ye Xuan so confident? Isn't he worried that he will lose his fortune?

But if this is successful, after deducting all costs from the sales of 500 million yuan, the publishing house will have at least 100 million yuan in revenue. This, this has to be said that the temptation is really great.

The income of the publishing house is not so much in a year, so if this is successful...

"Xiaofeng, you should immediately notify the others to have a meeting in the conference room. This matter needs to be discussed carefully." Huang Qiang said.

Ten minutes later, the relevant staff gathered in the conference room, at which time Huang Qiang walked into the conference room.

"Everyone, I've asked you to come here this time to talk about one thing, and that is about the publication of this "Douluo Zhiwuhun Continent"."

"We originally planned to set a price of 50 yuan per copy, and there are still 500,000 copies to be printed, but the author asked us to set a price of 100 yuan per copy and 5 million copies to be printed. What do you think about this?" Huang Qiang said.

"Wow—"

Huang Qiang's words immediately caused an uproar among the people present, their faces were full of shock, and their hearts were greatly shocked.

"Editor-in-Chief, you, are you kidding me, one hundred yuan a copy, five million copies printed, this is crazy."

"Yes, editor-in-chief, this is simply impossible, the risk is too great."

"I've studied the published book market for years, and I've never seen a book that does this. It's crazy."

"Editor-in-Chief, I don't support doing such a risky thing."

After everyone reacted, they expressed their disapproval. For them, the risk was too great, and the entire publishing society might go bankrupt because of it.

Once this publishing house closes down, they will have no jobs and no food to eat. That's why these people reacted so strongly and expressed their opposition.

"Editor-in-Chief, the sales of the best publishing house last year were only two million copies, and it was for the whole year, and it was still supported by such a big publicity and the author's own fame."

"I don't deny that Shikouxuan is famous and has fans, but he posted on the Internet before, and the price of this chapter is only about ten cents."

"Shikouxuan is considered a newcomer in the publishing industry, so I don't think his fans will pay to buy it. In addition, other people don't know "Douluo: Wuhun Dalu" and Shikouxuan, so the risk is very high."

"Yes, Shikouxuan is considered a newcomer author in the publishing industry, and this time the price is so high, there must not be many people who will buy it. It is too risky to produce five million copies at once."

"Maybe our publishing house will be in big trouble because of this, and there is even a risk of bankruptcy, editor-in-chief, think twice."

...

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and what they said was very reasonable.

After listening to everyone's words, Huang Qiang said immediately: "The author said that he can sign a contract with us. If the sales performance of this novel is not satisfactory, he will pay for the rest of the inventory out of his own pocket."

"In this way, our publishing house will not take such a big risk, but correspondingly, we will give the original author a profit. I think this plan is acceptable."

"I go!"

"Isn't it, the author is so fierce?"

"Damn it, is the author stupid?"

Everyone exclaimed again when they heard it, they never expected the author to say such a thing.

"Editor-in-Chief, even if the author says so, does he really have so much money to pay? What if he doesn't have the money to pay the bill? We're not going to bear the ultimate risk?"

"You don't need to worry about this. The author's family background can give him such confidence, so I and Editor-in-Chief Chen's idea is to take a gamble."

"If we win the bet, then our publishing house will definitely make a lot of money. This is a great opportunity for us." Huang Qiang said seriously.

Regardless of whether the novel is a hit or not, the publishing house is making money. If the novel sells well, the readers will pay for it. If the novel does not sell well, the author will pay for it.

"If this is the case, I think it is possible to sign such a contract with the author."

"That's right, that's right, I don't think there is any worries about the future. Anyway, our publishing house will make money regardless of the performance of the novel."

"Yes, yes, I support it!"

"I support it too!"

Everyone is not a fool, so after learning that the contract was to be signed, they did not object.

"Okay, since no one has any opinions, then this matter has been decided. The name of the novel is "Douluo: Wuhun Continent". The retail price is 100 yuan a copy, and 5 million copies will be printed."

"Everyone, act quickly and pre-heat the publicity before the Golden Week comes. This novel will be released during the Golden Week, so I must do a good job in all aspects of the work, and there must be no mistakes." Huang Qiang ordered earnestly.

"Don't worry, editor-in-chief, we will do a good job in related work." Everyone said in unison.

Huang Qiang nodded. He looked at Chen Xiaofeng and said, "Editor-in-Chief Chen, you will get the contract out and send it to Ye Xuan in a while, let him print it out and sign it, and then send the contract to our company."

"As for the profit sharing, let's give him 10% of the profit directly. After all, he has to bear such a big risk. If we insist on the original profit distribution, it is impossible."

"Alright editor, I'll get the contract right now and send it to him in a while." Chen Xiaofeng nodded and said.
