After realizing the problem, Sonoko Machida looked at the word count display in the lower left corner of the document like a hawk.

50W words! !

Machida Sonoko was startled, looked sideways at Kasumi Hills, and asked in surprise, "Five volumes finished?!"

"Hmm~ Is there a problem?" Xia Zhiqiu crossed his arms and said calmly.

"!!" Machida Sonoko stood up for the first time, holding Kasumigaoka's hands and exclaimed: "Tentacle monster! It's only been a few days! Let me see your hand, and I will look for this kind of hand when I look for authors in the future." It's in shape."

"Heh~" Xia Zhiqiu chuckled, withdrew his hand, and said arrogantly: "This has nothing to do with the hands, it depends on the head."

"That's right, there's nothing in my head, and I can't write it out no matter how fast my hand is." Sonoko Machida greeted him, then raised his hand and patted Kasumigaoka's shoulder, praising with a bright smile

"Xiaoshi, you are really the number one general under my command! Awesome! You are worthy of my cultivation of you!"

"..." Kasumi Hill curled his lips.

At that time, she remembered clearly how her last book "Metronome in Love" was cut in half.

cultivation?Achievements can only be cultivated!No grades, only potential, just delusions!

But she didn't mean to complain about Sonoko Machida. After all, people have to have a good meal, so what do you look at if you don't look at the grades?Do you look at your face?

The world is real, and the sooner you know it, the better.

Now that she is showing the completed works, she also has her plans.

"Editor Machida, can the remaining four volumes of "Magic Circle" be published soon?" Kasumigaoka suddenly asked.

This is her plan, she wants to make her masterpiece come out soon.

"Uh..." Machida Sonoko was taken aback, and asked, "Xiaoshi, how fast do you want?"

Kasumigaoka dragged his chin with one hand, "One volume per week? Or one volume per half a month? Is it okay?"

"Impossible." Editor Machida denied without thinking.

She glanced at Kasumi Hill, and explained helplessly: "Generally speaking, one volume of light novels in April is the most suitable speed, which is most suitable for business laws."

"In four months, the market can completely digest a work, and its commercial value can be fully stimulated."

"The release is too fast, the publicity can't keep up, the bookstores can't keep up, the printing factory can't supply the goods, and the speed of the illustrations, there are many problems."

"If you want to sell it so quickly, unless the publishing house is yours, you can sell it regardless of commercial benefits."

"No, it's not enough just because the publishing house belongs to your family. You also need to have a printing factory, so that you can guarantee the supply as soon as possible."

"In addition, there must be a professional illustration team that can complete the illustrations in the first time."

"So for Xiaoshi, the time you mentioned is simply impossible. You hand over the work to me, and I will be responsible for running it for you."

"You just sit at home and wait for some money, as long as you come out occasionally to cooperate with the publicity, and hold some signings, it's OK."

"Xiaoshi? What are you thinking about?"

Machida Sonoko looked at Kasumigaoka, and found that she didn't know when she was, her left hand was holding her chest, and her right hand was supporting her chin, looking thoughtful.

"It's nothing." Kasumigaoka slid his right hand down and put it on his left arm, and said with a normal expression: "Editor Machida, are you here today just for illustration?"

"Don't tell me I almost forgot. It's time for me to go back to the publishing house. I still have things to do tonight." Machida Sonoko hurriedly packed up her things, put on her bag and was about to leave.

"Crack--"

Seeing Sonoko Machida open the door and leave, Kasumigaoka reminded: "Editor Machida, don't forget to ask me about the illustration."

"Ok~ no problem, Xiaoshi, you will send the things to my mailbox later." Machida Sonoko's voice getting farther and farther away in a hurry.

In the bedroom, Xia Zhiqiu sat back in front of the computer desk, crossed his legs, tapped the table with his index finger, and looked thoughtfully at the time in the lower right corner of the computer.

Own a publishing house?Seems impossible...

Chapter 140 Nine

"Jingle bell~~Jingle bell~~"

At 11:55 in the middle of the night, the alarm rang.

Kasumigaoka, who was awakened, first turned off the alarm, then took off the blindfold, and sat up with clear eyes.

The time is approaching, time to decide if you want to own a publishing house...  

That's right, after Machida Sonoko said the phrase "unless the publishing house is yours", she has already begun to think about the advantages and disadvantages of owning a publishing house.

If Machida Sonoko's publishing house, Immortal River Bunko, belongs to her.

Then the release and publicity of her works will become extremely simple. On the basis of ensuring the quality of her own works, she can use the highest quality publicity resources and the widest sales channels for her works.

This will ensure that more people see her work.

What is writing for?

Isn't the first motivation for many authors to write books is to share the stories in their hearts with others?

Now there is an opportunity for her work to be seen by more people, is she going to seize it?

In addition, apart from her selfishness in works, owning a publishing house can bring her a lot of real benefits.

The profits from the publishing house are no problem supporting her and her mother, and they can save a lot of money, maybe even change to a bigger villa...

It's not that she is dissatisfied with her current home, but that this kind of one-household has been built for a long time, and there are always some not-so-good things...

For example, the bathtub is too small... Every time I lie in it, I have to curl my legs...

Also, the study room is too small. My mother has piled some books on the top of the bookshelf. Every time I take them up, I need to use a ladder, which is inconvenient and dangerous at the same time.

In addition, the open kitchen also has a big problem. Every time after cooking, there will be a lot of residual oily smoke in the living room, making it a little uncomfortable to sit in the living room and eat.

Therefore, changing to a bigger villa can solve everything.

But according to my mother's ability to save money as a consumer star, it is estimated that she will not be able to afford a villa in her next life.

And after she owns a publishing house, she may be able to move into a new villa within a year or two.

Just two advantages alone made her want to own a publishing house.

As for the disadvantage, she thought about it for a long time, and she could only think of the fact that the publishing house was unfavorable and went bankrupt.

But it doesn't matter at all, even if the mother goes bankrupt, she can still support her, and there is the existence of Shenming Youge, so it is difficult for the publishing house to go bankrupt.

So after thinking about it, she found that the only problem in wanting to own a publishing house is what price will she pay for Shenming Youge?

If the price is too high, she can only give up...continue to publish books step by step in accordance with the rules of the publishing house.

I hope the price is within her tolerance range...

"Yo~ Miss Kasumigaoka, good evening~"

Unknowingly, it was zero o'clock, and Hanyu's gentle voice wafted out from the cell phone next to Kasumigaoka's pillow.

"Yu Ge, good evening." Kasumi Zhiqiu picked up the phone and held it in his hand, ready to have a good discussion with Hanyu, trying to get his first inheritance.

"Miss Xia Zhiqiu looks good tonight. Have you finished your book? How do you feel? Is the code word easy to use? Is the thinking speed satisfactory?"

On the other side, Hanyu was still hugging his own Meowno, stroking happily.

Kasumi Hill: "It's very easy to use mind code words, and it's very comfortable to have a clear mind after the speed of thinking is improved."

Hanyu asked happily with a smile: "Then, does Miss Kasumigaoka have any wishes tonight?"

Xia Zhiqiu hesitated for a while, and said: "If there is a wish..."

"Huh? What is your wish? Let me tell you. Since we have completed several transactions, I will try to charge as little as possible."

"..." Xia Zhiqiu raised his eyebrows.

Are you starting to pick it up now?Don't say it's a wish, but directly say it's a transaction?

It's a lot more straightforward than before, a deal is a deal, and it's not good to cover up with wishes.

"You Ge, I want a publishing house, what price do I need to pay?" Kasumi Hill asked directly.

Hanyu: "Publishing house? What scale?"

"I'll name a family, do you know the Immortal Chuan Library?"

Hanyu pinched his fingers and made up his mind.

Immortal River Bunko, an upper-class club in the light novel industry, is mainly engaged in the publishing business of light novels and some bookstores.

The business situation is booming, and if you want to buy this club, the owner of the other party may not necessarily agree, so the price to be paid by Kasumi Hill must not be low.

Hanyu let go of his counting hand, and continued to pinch Yukino's cat ears, "Bushikawa Bunko, I know now."

Xia Zhiqiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "I want the Immortal River Library to be mine. What price do I have to pay?"

"I'll do the math." Hanyu pinched Yukino's cat ears, and said with a secretive smile, "What about all your anger?"

"..." Xia Zhiqiu frowned, and resolutely refused: "No, can I change it to something else?"

Anger, one of the most basic emotions of human beings, the consequences of losing anger are too heavy to be within the range she can accept.

"It needs to be changed..." Hanyu sighed with emotion, then thought for a while, and said, "Well, I propose three plans, you choose one, if you don't choose, then there is no other way."

"One, as I said, all your anger."

"Two, half your anger and half your joy."

"Three, I will give you a prop, you need to help me collect some human emotions."

"Miss Kasumi Hill, please choose."

Xia Zhiqiu held the mobile phone and asked in thought: "What is the third article? Can you explain it in detail?"

"No problem." Hanyu began to explain the specific operation and implementation of Article [-] to Kasumigaoka in detail

"Miss Xia Zhiqiu, if you choose the third option, the Immortal River Library will be in your name within twelve hours, and you will get the props I bestowed on you at the same time."

"You have to take this prop to collect some human emotions for me."

"As for how to collect, the key point is the work you create, that is, the book you write.

"My book?" Kasumigaoka frowned suspiciously, she did not interrupt Hanyu, and continued to listen to Hanyu's explanation.

"Yes, it is your book. When your paper works are read by readers, these readers will feel sad, happy, and satisfied because of the content in your book."

"And the props I give you will collect the emotions overflowing from these readers."

"A person's overflowing emotions are listed as one point, and you need to collect a total of 100 million points as my reward."

Kasumigaoka held his chin with his right hand, chewing carefully what Hanyu said.

After thinking for a long time, she raised her questions one by one.

"You Ge, I have some questions that need to be answered."

"First, will the collection of readers' emotions have any impact on the readers?"

This is very important, and she doesn't want anything to happen to readers after reading her book.

Once this large-scale social problem is exposed, she can't imagine what kind of situation she will face.

"Second, can a reader's emotion be collected only once, or can it be collected repeatedly? For example, if the same reader collects once in the first volume, can he still collect it in the second volume?"

This is related to whether she can complete the task of 100 million points.

If a reader can only collect once, then the difficulty of this task will increase infinitely, which means that the sales volume of a certain volume of her work must reach more than 100W volumes!

It is very difficult to achieve this achievement based on the Japanese domestic market alone!

You must know that her previous "Love Metronome" has a total sales volume of 50 volumes, with an average of 10 volumes. It is already a best-selling work...

A single volume is over 100W. At present, the light novel industry can achieve this achievement only by the works of a few leading writers in the industry. Ordinary writers dare not even think about it.

Moreover, these results of more than 100W for a single volume are also accumulated over a long period of time, and cannot be completed in three or two months.

"Three, how long will it take to pay off the 100 million points?"

"Four, if I can't pay it back, what will you do?"

Points three and four are related to her life safety. If you don't ask about the time, who knows if something will happen to Hanyu halfway through.

If Hanyu came to collect the payment in a week, wouldn't she be punished for breaking the contract if she didn't complete it?

"Miss Kasumigaoka, you are very cautious~" Hanyu said with a smile.
