Chapter 302 Publishing Books
To Yuan Xiao, Yu Guang was still very polite, after all, the relationship behind it was Zhou Zhengyi.

The world of science and technology has a considerable influence in this world.

But the publishing house also has its own interests.

"Teacher Yuan, the published content should be more professional and academic." Yu Guang tried to ask.

Yuan Xiao affirmed: "It is the content of this aspect, which is divided into two languages, Eastern and Western. This is a part of the manuscript."

As he spoke, he handed over Newton's manuscript and Zhou Zhengyi's translation.

Yu Guang picked it up and looked at it carefully for a while, then he nodded and put the manuscript down.

"Teacher Yuan, let me be blunt," Yu Guang said sincerely, "You know academic books well, and the audience is not very wide, after all, not many people can understand them.

Therefore, there will not be many people who are willing to spend money to buy, and the sales volume can only be said to be stable. "

This is for sure, Yuan Xiao knows very well that his purpose is only to target the world's physics community.

"The publishing of books is generally divided into two modes," Yu Guang introduced, "One is public publishing. Simply put, you don't need to pay. Our publishing house helps publish books and promote them, and what you get is the remuneration.

The author's remuneration is about 12.00% to [-]%, and the proportion of this share is transparent. "

Yuan Xiao nodded.

"There is also self-publishing, that is, you pay all the expenses, and we are only responsible for publishing the book. Although there are expenses in the early stage, if it sells well, your income will naturally be high." This is another method of Yu Guang.

Yuan Xiao understood: "So in fact, most of the academic books are published at their own expense."

Yu Guang admitted: "It's like this, only some people are sure, and our publishing house will take the route of publishing at public expense.

Teacher Yuan's work needs to be reviewed if it is to be published at public expense.

The review process takes half a year to a year, which is hard to say. "

It's normal, even if it was written by Newton, the cautious attitude of the publisher is understandable.

The influence of paper media in this world is not small, but it also means fierce competition.

Leading publishing houses like Suguang have no shortage of book resources.

It is better to take the risk of publishing an incomprehensible book than some popular novels, which have a wider market.

Yuan Xiao knows this: "Then my book, it seems that the model of self-publishing is the best."

"That's it," Yu Guang took a stack of materials and handed them over, "This is the cost of self-publishing."

The first is the ISBN fee. Each book has its own ISBN code, which is uniformly assigned to each publishing house.

There are two types of ISBN, serial number and single ISBN. The price of the serial number is cheap, more than 10,000, and the price of the single ISBN is more than [-].

Then there is the printing cost, which is very complicated.

It has something to do with the number of pages of the book, the quality of the paper, etc.

In addition, there is an editing fee, which is about one or two hundred per thousand words.

In addition, there are costs for typesetting, design, shipping, etc.

After everything came down, Yuan Xiao estimated that if he wanted to publish a book at Shuguang Publishing House at his own expense, the cost would be 100,000 to [-] yuan.

For the current Yuan Xiao, this is tantamount to an astronomical figure.

Relying on my meager salary is not enough.

Su Ye on the side knew Yuan Xiao's embarrassment, so she couldn't help shaking her head secretly.

"Then what," Yuan Xiao gritted his teeth, "What I'm talking about here is the lowest fee."

Yu Guang nodded: "The standard package for the small set meal is this amount.

However, self-publishing is tantamount to saying that Mr. Yuan paid for it himself, so this piece is highly flexible.

For example, you can let others sponsor you to join, and then you can share the profits if you sell well later.

We only look at the actual funds in place, and we don't ask how the money came from. "

This was an obvious matter, Yuan Xiao was silent for a while, and he dialed Zhou Zhengyi's phone number.

Explain the cause and effect of the matter.

Zhou Zhengyi on the other end of the phone smiled: "I know Teacher Yuan Xiao's plan, I should pay for the book publishing fee."

"Then how embarrassing it is." Naturally, Yuan Xiao wanted to be polite.

"It's okay, after all, I am also one of the translators." Zhou Zhengyi is the vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and he still has some small money. What about physical books?"

Yuan Xiao retreated first: "I just don't know how the sales will be."

"Hahaha," Zhou Zhengyi smiled, "Not many people will buy such dry academic books.

It's okay, even if it is a loss, compared to the meaning of the matter, it is a drop in the bucket.

Don't save money for my brother, that would be to underestimate me. "

Zhou Zhengyi's attitude was very firm, Yuan Xiao pushed back, and finally agreed.

Very resistant to death, need is such a big head.

I want money, sorry, Yuan Xiao doesn't have it himself.

Back in the office, Yuan Xiao expressed his attitude.

"That's fine," Yu Guang also smiled. Although it is a small business, the main thing is human affection. "I will supervise this matter as soon as possible."

There are many books published every day, and of course it will be faster if someone follows them.

The two parties immediately signed the contract.

The final number of published books is [-] volumes.

The places where it was released were the capital of the Principality of Princes and the city of Rilenville.

Strictly speaking, Yu Guang didn't pay much attention to this little matter.

Compared with the hundreds of thousands of bestsellers, these are not enough to fit the teeth.

Yuan Xiao didn't care, he didn't brag about his iron face.

After the matter was done, Yuan Xiao was in a good mood and invited Su Ye to a big meal.

The place where the two of them sat was the place where food stalls in the capital were concentrated.

I ordered two fried rice noodles, a total of 24 yuan.

"Let me tell you," Yuan Xiao said loudly, "cultural people like us don't pay much attention to money and interests.

Literati have the same name, what they want is the name.

This book is for people in the physics field, so [-] copies is already a lot.

As long as it is guaranteed to be sold out, I figured it out, and Lao Zhou would lose a little.

In other words, if you spend tens of thousands of yuan, you can have your name recorded in the annals of history. If you think about it, it is something that individuals are willing to do.

As for me, heck, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

......"

Su Ye sneered: "Is this the feast you mentioned?
Come on, Yuan Xiao, if Xiaoman doesn't understand your thoughts, I still don't understand.

In other words, it doesn’t work if you don’t have money all the time. "

Yuan Xiao shook his head: "I've said it several times.

For an excellent human being like me, the value is not reflected in money.

Xiaoman understands me better than you. "

Su Ye picked up the water and took a sip, losing the strength to complain.

As night fell, the neon lights around the area lit up.

Because of the proximity to the sea, the wind that blows over has a bit of a damp smell.

Yuan Xiao didn't know it, he was still eating rice noodles.

Su Ye turned her head, looked at the blurry street corner in the distance, and narrowed her eyes.
