Chapter 249 "From One to Infinity" is published

Hearing Li Yi's words, Han Shuang fell into a brief silence.

Li Yi listened to Han Shuang's breathing over there, and called softly: "Sister Han? Can you hear me?"

"Well, I heard it. Don't worry, leave this matter to me."

"Then thank you, Miss Han."

The two chatted on the phone for a few more words, chatting about the details of the publication of "From One to Infinity", as well as the signing of the contract, and some issues with overseas distribution, and then hung up the phone.

In a single apartment.

Han Shuang was wearing a milky white one-piece pajamas embroidered with water patterns, and her hair was still half dry. It was obvious that she had just taken a shower. She put down the phone in her hand and looked at the contact person on the phone screen for a long time. There was a light of thought between the brows.

She didn't look back until the phone screen gradually turned black.

Thinking of the smiling face in her mind, a few smiles could not help but appear on her face.

"Don't you want a manuscript fee?" she murmured.

From One to Infinity has more than 80 readings on the Internet. Although it will affect the sales of physical books, years of research have proved that the impact of electronic books on physical books is not very great, but may stimulate The sales of physical books are strange, but at some point this phenomenon makes sense.

From the very high popularity of Infinity, and the forecast of sales in the first month, Kyoto Publishing House unanimously believes that it will exceed five figures.

Calculated, the royalties are at least several hundred thousand yuan a month, and can be several million yuan a year.

But Li Yi gave up at least a few million yuan in income at his fingertips. Even if he knew that Li Yi was not short of money, he gave up a few million yuan as soon as he said he would give up, which really touched Han Shuang a little.

The next morning.

In the office of the general manager of Kyoto Press.

Qu Zhong frowned, and Han Shuang was standing in front of his desk.

"Did he really say that?" Qu Zhong asked.

Han Shuang didn't ask and answer, but just nodded.

I have to say that Li Yi's decision also surprised him, but that's all. There are many people who do charity, and he has seen a lot. After admiring him, he will think about the value of this matter.

Hundreds of mouths in the Kyoto Publishing House are pointing at him to eat, and it is impossible for him to give up some personal interests as freely as Li Yi.

Qu Zhong frowned, weighing how to do this matter.

If Li Yi gave up his royalties, then he would have the opportunity to donate for him, or lower the price of the book.

Which one is more beneficial to the publishing house?

But Qu Zhong thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Han Shuang energetically: "Donate Li Yi's royalties under his pseudonym, and then our profits will be reduced by half, and the price of the book will be lowered." come down."

Li Yi had already taken the lead, and Qu Zhong was ready to follow up in time.

Although a publishing house needs to be authorized by the government, in the final analysis it is a company with commercial attributes, and profits should naturally be given priority.

But the value of a company is sometimes divided into two parts, one part is the turnover, and the other part is the value of the brand.

Where does the value of a brand come from?

Qu Zhong smiled lightly.

It comes from good reputation and popularity.

If the price is lowered from one to infinity, the publishing society will lose some profits in the short term, but in the long run, it is a good deal to exchange some short-term profits for long-term good reputation and popularity.After all, the sales of popular science books are limited, and it is impossible to become a phenomenon-level book like "Three-Body Problem".

Han Shuang looked at Qu Zhong, who was calculating and calculating, and shook his head with a secret smile.

Sometimes you will suddenly find that capitalists become 'good'.

In fact, it is not that capitalists have become better, but that for capitalists, long-term benefits are greater than short-term benefits.

However, although the purpose is different, in terms of results, this is indeed a good thing.

"Understood." Han Shuang smiled and nodded, ready to turn and leave.

"Girl."

Qu Zhong suddenly yelled, Han Shuang stopped in his tracks, turned around, with a bit of doubt in his eyes, thinking that Qu Zhong still had something to explain.

"Give yourself a vacation after you've been busy for a while. You're not too young anymore. It's time to think about the important things in your life. Don't always be busy with work. Now that this publishing house is watched by an old man like me, you don't need to be the leader. " Qu Zhongyu said earnestly.

Listening to Qu Zhong's words, Han Shuang couldn't help rubbing her temples. Every time Qu Zhong mentioned this matter, she would get a headache.

"Understood, I'm going to go, I'll talk about it later."

After finishing speaking, Han Shuang ran out of the office as if fleeing.

Qu Zhong watched Han Shuang leave the office as if fleeing, and shook his head with a smile, with a bit of helplessness on his face.

Imperial Library.

Since Li Yi got the system, apart from classrooms, apartments and companies, the place where he stayed the most was the Emperor University Library.

There is no way around this. The more knowledge you gain from the system, the more ignorant you become.

Knowledge does not exist as a separate, knowledge of various disciplines have the place where theories intersect.

It's like the connection between history and literary novels, or the connection between traditional Chinese medicine, modern medicine and Chinese martial arts.

Li Yi obtained some knowledge from the system, but this knowledge seemed to appear suddenly, which was very abrupt in Li Yi's knowledge system.

At the edge of these knowledge, there is no intersection of knowledge, but a sudden break, leaving the edge of Li Yi's knowledge system in a blank.

This sense of blank emptiness made Li Yi fall into a thirst for knowledge.

So Li Yi came to the library to recharge his batteries and supplement his missing knowledge.

At noon, Li Yi closed the book in front of him, ready to get up and go out for lunch.

But before taking a few steps, I was attracted by a book.

At this time, the book was placed on the trolley in the hands of the librarian.

Li Yi walked over and picked up the book from the librarian's trolley.

It's like "From One to Infinity".

"Student, this is a popular science book that has just been published. It was compiled and edited by our school's Department of Physics and the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The quality is very high. You can take a look." Seeing Li Yi picking up the book, the sunny young man thought that he had become interested in the book, so he started the chatterbox mode, and said with great interest.

"Okay, thank you." Li Yi took the book in his hand and thanked the librarian.

After the librarian left, Li Yi casually put the book on the shelf beside him, planning to come back after dinner and reread the version revised by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Department of Physics of the Imperial University.

But when Li Yi came back full of wine and food, he found that the books he had put on the bookshelf had disappeared.

Then Li Yi found a few students who were reading "From One to Infinity" with great interest from the table in the library. The few books that the library had just purchased were in the hands of these people.

Li Yijian smiled wryly.

It seems that today is impossible to see.
