Chapter 99: The Five Million Copyright Fee has been Banked In!
Home.
After returning from the landlady’s house in the morning, Zhang Ye crashed back into bed. There was nothing he could do about it. Rao Aimin’s throw had caused him to go into a daze. He had still not recovered from it. Of course, the landlady was not easily taken advantage of. He had been taught a lesson, a bloody lesson!
Beep, beep. A short message was received.
Zhang Ye twisted his arm while feeling the pain and tapped on the phone. However, the next moment, he could not be calm. His waist did not ache, and his legs were no longer painful!
It was a notification from the bank!
He had received the copyright fees! There was more than five million Yuan!
Excluding taxes, this was the amount Zhang Ye received for selling “Ghost Blows Out the Light” and several of his fairy tale stories!
His cellphone vibrated. A call was coming in. It was a call from the man from the Beijing Education Publishing Firm, “Hello, Teacher Little Zhang. Haha, did you received the royalty fees? Congratulations! The sales for ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’ yesterday was a huge success. No, I should say it was an unprecedented success! In all these years, our publishing firm had never, besides non-commercial publications, had a first day sales record of 90,000 copies!” He was very excited, “To be working with you, it is our honour. All along the way, you have been a man of miracles!”
Zhang Ye laughed, “You are generous with your praises, I’m not that great. It’s great due to your sales promotions.”
“But this sales figure is certain to decline; it won’t be able to hold at such high numbers going forward. Our most conservative estimates say that we will hit at least 700,000 copies per series this year. The next year estimates will likely increase very little, but we will still reprint. I think that with time, to break through a million copies sales per series should not be a problem at all.” said the middle-aged man excitedly.
This sales figure was also within Zhang Ye’s own estimates. It wasn’t too much of a surprise to him, “How about the fairy tale stories?”
